I managed to catch a taxi to the estate cutting my time by half, paying with the change I had in my pockets I headed through the doors.

My limping body didn't make it far when Jamal ran through the corridor, his body on high alert.

" Storm go upstairs and rest I'll sort it, we think we've found them"

" no, drop me of there and if any of you attempt to come in I'll murder everyone and then myself. Take me now" without giving him a second to drag me upstairs I stalked towards his Mercedes Benz, I'm going to finish it once and for fucking all.

That man has my parents and killed my baby, he's going to die the worst way possible.

" for Gods sakes, ok The Ravens spotted your dad, Shazia and another man most likely Sargent in a car on the A127" he mumbled swerving onto the main road, A127, where does that lead to. My mind began working furiously as he headed towards our destination.

We slid off the main city road towards a slip road, the trees became blurry as Jamal increased his speed. Everything seemed familiar, had I been here before?

Flashback
I started to wonder why Andrei drove past my area, the way he was driving was leading towards  maunsell forts, the old and abandoned army forts on the sea. Apparently the Mafia runs a few torture chambers in that area.  Before entering the residential area I slipped my heels back on, ain't tryna look like a crack addict out here.

HOLY SHIT, the forts.

" Jamal, Maunsell forts." His eyes lit up immediately, an army man will most likely pick an army related location, they have to be there.

Leaning back on the expensive leather I groaned, the dull ache from my cervix was increasing ever so slightly. The rest of my wounds didn't really affect me except that. I lost my damn baby, how could I do that.

" Storm" Andrei? His voice blasted through the cars speakers, painfully leaning forward I glanced at the screen.

" what do you want" I wanted to scream, shout for Gods sakes but I couldn't, my voice trembled.

" your not getting on that boat"

" I need to save dad and Shazia" I mumbled, Jamal glanced at me through the mirror worriedly. I was officially broken.

" I don't give a shit, you lost my fucking baby your going to sit in that damn car" he growled, my insides dropped. He knew about it. The man knew yet still left.

" you were pregnant?!" Jamal yelled in shock, nodding my head yes I leaned on the window, treacherous tears sliding down my cold cheeks.

" Storm, talk to me GOD DAMMIT!"

" lower your voice, are you ok baby" Jamal asked, his tone laced with sadness and pity. Not this again.

" don't fucking call her that"

Ignoring Andrei I sighed in defeat.
" perfect J, is the boat ready"

" yeh"

" your perfect? Are you fucking kidding me! Storm I swear to God if you get on that boat I will...."

" break me? Your late it's been done" pushing my body forward painfully I slammed my finger on the screen ending the call.

" we're here" glancing at the open ocean in front of us I slipped out of the car, the small speed boat was parked at the bottom of the small drop. Jamal grabbed my hand and gently led me down the rocks.

" are you sure you want to come"

" Don't start this" I groaned, he nodded and climbed onto the boat, holding his sturdy shoulders I slipped behind him.

With a quick twist the boat was gliding on the water, the fresh breeze slapping my face every second. A minute in the forts became visible, my eyes caught another boat parked right beside the wooden pillar. They're here .

As we got closer I switched the ignition of.

" he will hear us, leave the boat we need to swim" dropping my pained body into the below freezing water I began swimming towards the forts, Jamal right behind me.

There's 6 forts in total, old rusty paths to each one connecting them together. Hanging of each fort is a rope ladder that swung with the wind. Sargent would most likely be in the centre fort, less risk and harder to get to.

As I swam the dull ache began to grow stronger, I can't let it stop me though. Ignoring it I managed to reach the ladder without crying.  Jamal floated right beside me. His brown eyes held worry.

" I need you to stay here, he can't know you came ok I'll scream if I need help" I mumbled quietly, J attempted to pull me back but I shook him of.

"I'll be ok"

Quietly climbing the flimsy rope ladder I peaked my head above the foundation, the coast was clear. Limping on the creaky metal I made my way towards the next fort.

The first 2 were completely empty, no sign of a human. As I got into the 3rd fort voices began to become prominent, they're close.

Tiptoeing on the creepy metal path I hid behind the door, I placed my ear to the wall.

" looks like your daughter has lost her magic, 4 years ago she'd be able to find me like that" the click of his fingers echoing through the room. He's right though, back then I'd have found him within minutes, I did find him within minutes.

With a quick prayer I pushed the door handle, all eyes immediately landed on me. Sargent stood at one end of the room with a gun and dad and Shazia are tied up on the other. They both look absolutely shattered, it's all my fucking fault.

" speak of the princess and she will arrive" he spoke happily, twirling the Glock in his hand.
Closing the door behind me I sighed in fake defeat, let's make the man believe me.

Dad and Shazias eyes widened, don't know if it was fear or happiness. Their bodies squirmed against the rope.

Turning back towards Sargent I took a step forward, his smirk stayed put.

" got some balls"

" your alone Sargent, no goons nor soldiers to help you" I seethed, without hesitation I threw my body towards his, my fist connecting straight with his jaw.

He stumbled backwards.
" 1 hit, does that make up for what I did to you." Fury took over as I punch her him again.

" oh damn does your dad and his whore know what I did to you?" He asked maliciously, I never told dad, I couldn't put him through that and I can't let him tell them.

Fuelled by the rage I pushed his lanky body onto the rusty metal, as he attempted to come towards me I grabbed my mini pocketknife and sliced whatever came in front of me. His hand.

" you bitch"

" want to cry about it" pushing his already weakened body to the floor I placed my boot on his dick.
" soldiers don't cry Sarg" I mumbled, tears were threatening to fall but I held them in.

I was about to stamp on his dick and then slit his throat when out of no where I was pulled back. Turning around my heart dropped at the sight, 3 of his goons.

I thrashed in their hold but they kept me still.

" do you really think I'm stupid" he laughed, pushing his body of the ground he stood in front of me.

" I told you what I was going to do, now stay still for me"
