The Ugly Side of Me Is Strong
Chapter 9
Brian’s POV
Cat’s phone went to voice mail. I went by her house and she wasn’t there. I went by her work and nothing. I hadn’t talked to her since earlier this afternoon. I was walking out of the diner when I caught a familiar scent. Cat… I followed it to the back of the building where it mixed with someone else’s. I recognized that one too. It was Marco. Michael 's little helper. The scent led to the street and then it was gone. My phone buzzed in my pocket.
“Hey, are you ready? We need to get going?” Matt asked.
“Something’s wrong.”
“What?”
“Cat’s gone.”
“What do you mean gone?”
“I think Marco took her.”
Cat’s POV
I was drug out of the car, roughly by my arm. It felt like he was going to rip my arm off. I had no clue where I was. The windows in the car were tinted and my head hurt too much to really focus. I was shoved in the front door of a huge house and shoved down on a couch in a dimly lit living room.
“Stay here.” My grandfather’s toadie ordered.
I knew I had to get out of this. When he left the room I stood up and put to each window. I couldn’t open them. They were sealed shut.
“Ah, Cat. How are you dear?” I heard behind me.
I turned around to find my grandfather. I hadn’t heard him come in the room.
“What do you want? Why am I here?”
He smiled and took a seat motioning that I do the same.
“Well, dear…” he began.
“I want to you join me here. I think you would do really well here.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that we’re family and if something ever happens to me, you get all this.” He smiled, motioning around him.
“We’re not family.”
“You’re my granddaughter. That makes us family.”
“Family doesn’t hurt you and leave.”
He was quiet but kept his cold gaze on me.
“Listen, let’s let the past be the past and start fresh and you can join me.”
“No, what you do is disgusting.”
He snorted.
“It’s just business.”
“It’s people’s lives you’re ruining.”
“Well, sometimes business is hard.” He chuckled.
“I’m not working with you or for you, ever. You can forget that.”
“Well, it’s simple, Cat. Either you work for me or you’re sold to one of my colleagues and Brian gets to watch and die.”
I looked down and slowly shook my head.
“I’m not doing it.”
“Well, then. I guess it’s settled. Marco!” he hollered.
Marco quickly entered the room and grabbed me up dragging me out of the room.
“Let me go!” I screamed, as Marco took handful of my hair and tugged me harder upstairs.
He threw me into a dark room and slammed the door. I quickly scrambled to turn the knob but I heard him locking it from the other side.
“Let me out of here!” I cried desperately, beating on the door with my fists.
“Please!!!” I begged.
I beat on the door until my hands were numb and slowly slid down to the floor. I had no idea how to get out of this one. I hoped and prayed that Brian would figure it out and found me soon.
