It's Complicated

Chapter 23: Unexpected

Grace

We searched every inch of the city, and there was no sign of Violet. I'm one hundred percent sure, Laura took her. But that bitch is the devil in person, and must be hidden somewhere no one will ever suspect.

I spotted Owen, and decided to take a big risk. While the others search everywhere, I decided to investigate about Violet's birth father. I followed him here, desperate time, call for desperate measures.

"Have you seen her?" I asked as I showed him a picture of, Violet.

"Wait, is that, Violet?"

"You know her?"

"I saw her once in the park, she was with, Savannah. I heard her calling her, Violet."

"Well, she has been kidnapped, and we don't know where she is." I sighed.

"I don't know where she is, but I'll help. It's the least I can do, after treating Savannah wrong." He said as he looked at the picture of Violet.

"You will?"

"Yeah, I lost my son, when he was born. It was the worst feeling ever, so I'll do whatever to help find her."

"Sorry about your loss."

"Thanks." He gave me a half smile.

"Okay, let's go."

"So what's the plan?" He asked as we got in the car.

"Well, we are going to Laura's, place. I know for a fact she has Violet. But she also goes to her house so she won't be suspicious." I said as I started the car.

"How do you know it's her?"

"Because Laura, never got over Luke. She never imagine that he could actually fall in love with Savannah. He made promises to Laura, but they blew up in his face, and ended up falling for his wife, a.k.a, Savannah."

"Well, Savannah is a great girl and I treated her like shit. But I'm glad she found someone who loves her and Violet."

"Luke, loves them a lot. He treats Violet, as his kid and not someone else's."

He just nodded. I parked two blocks away from Laura's, place and then faced Owen.

"Alright, let's wait for that bitch to leave her house and then follow her." I said as I dialed, Chloe's phone.

"She's precious." Owen sighed as he looked at Violet's picture.

"Hey, I have a plan. Oh you research the same as me. Well, then, here's what we are going to do. Oh come on, stop getting inside my head."

I could hear Vince and Chloe laughing.

Listen, baby cousin. This psycho must have guards, so we will knock a few  of them and then grab their uniforms, and we will get in the building. And yes, that will include a mask. We don't need anyone suspecting. By the way, we are behind you.

I looked back and rolled my eyes. "Okay, Owen, are you ready? The more people joining us, the better."

He smirked. "Getting into fights was my specialty in high-school/university."

"Perfect."

Minutes later, Laura, left the house and we followed her. And as I suspected, she has a house in the middle of nowhere in the outskirts of the city. She enter the house, and we waited a few minutes. We knocked down some guards and stripped them down.

"Next time, might want to hire stronger guards." Chloe said as she shook her head.

I chuckled. "She has beauty, not brain."

Owen

We entered the house and saw that Laura was in a pool just relaxing. Crazy bitch.

"What kind of kidnapper is she?" I asked confused.

"The stupid kind." Grace replied.

"Alright, everyone is armed, now let's separate." Vince told us.

"Shoot them only in the legs. Chloe added.

We nodded and went our separate ways. How many days has she been here? have they been feeding her? I don't even know her and I'm scared of finding her harmed or worse.

Man, why would anyone buy a villa in the middle of nowhere just to kidnap a baby. Something tells me, this girl has killed people and makes everyone believe she's your typical sweet innocent girl. Door by door, and nothing. Please cry and let me know you're alive. And then as if I've been heard, she cried.

I made a run and entered the room she was in. She was in a crib alone and looks like no one has changed her diaper, and her clothes were dirty and smelled bad. But that didn't stop me from picking her up and pull her closer to me. She wrapped her little arms around my neck and calmed down.

"Drop that baby."

I turned around to face, Laura. She was pointing a gun at me.

"Or maybe I should kill her." She laughed as she pointed the gun at, Violet.

"What's wrong with you? How could you do this to a baby!"

"Easy, she's annoying, with her out of the way, I can finally have Luke back." Her left eye started to twitch.

"That will only make him hate you and you will land in jail."

"As if. Say bye bye, baby. You're out!"

I turned around so the bullet would hit me and not Violet. Except, I never heard the trigger getting pulled.

"I never liked you, you fucking psycho." Grace, said. "Wow, someone needs a bath."

Laura was passed out on the floor.

"Thank you, you saved two lives today." I sighed As I hugged Violet. "What's going to happen now?"

"Well, we are setting this place on fire, we already took care of the guards and as for her." Vince said as he looked at Laura, she will mysteriously disappear from this world. Harming a baby is cruel and deserves way worse than jail."

"I agree." Chloe added.

"Same." Grace chimed in.

"She deserves it." I said. "Is it okay if I ask for a little favor?"

We left the place and as Vince said, he set it on fire and he disappeared Laura. It was gruesome. But she deserved it. We went to my place and Chloe gave, Violet a bath and changed her diaper and then gave her a bottle and feed her.

"It's time." Grace said.

"I know." I said as I hugged Violet. "I had you a few hours, but they were the best." She just looked at me and smiled.

"Uhm, guys can you take her to Savannah. I'll stay here for a bit." Grace told them. They just nodded and took, Violet.

She sat next to me. "Hey, thank you for helping us."

"Gave me a chance to feel like a dad even for a few hours." I wiped my tears. "Something that was taken from me in an instant. I supposed that was karma for treating Savannah wrong."

"Things happen for a reason, maybe your baby boy would've gotten sick or something else, and he would be suffering instead of living."

"I supposed that's one way of looking at it. My girlfriend left me, 5 months after losing our son. She return to her country and I was left alone in my house."

"One day, you'll find the happiness you deserve." She smiled.

"I hope so."
