The Black Roses

Message

After I killed the woods guy Aces father told me to take a break. So I've been at home for a week just relaxing and hanging out with my friends. Occasionally Ace would stop by but he wouldn't stay for long he would just check up on me then play the game with my brother

I was walking out the store seeing a familiar face there. I huffed seeing his father and he didn't look too happy to see me. He looked at the car and I followed him in.

"Where's my son" He asked starting his car

"Can I eat in here"

"Raheema I'm being kind right now" he warned

I shrugged "I don't know he's probably at home"

"If he's home do you think I would be talking you you right now. I can't let his mom know."

I huffed "Ion know where he is he doesn't tell me anything unless I ask"

"Raheema" he warned

"Sorry"

He drove to the new mansion and I hated it. I was just around the corner from the house and now I get kidnapped and taken into the new mansion I wanted to be home. I walked inside and followed him into the office. He smiled at me and sat down.

I sat down and he looked at me "He's been missing for two days now"

I eyed my chips and looked at him. He nodded his head and I smiled eating the chips. I relaxed in the chair and looked at him. If he wanted his son to be safe then he should've never let his son join this.

I was worried for Ace let me say that but his father was bringing the inevitable. He wasn't untouchable there was always someone who was going to come after him. I smiled looking at his father.

"Don't you have tracking on"

"Tried that already, I don't know what I would do his mom will kill me"

I frowned I was tired of his father bringing up his mom.  "Are you only worried because of what his mom would think"

"Raheema"

"No don't pretend to be scared because of his mom. That's your son and if you cared you wouldn't have let him join"

He looked at me and I stood up "Why don't you acknowledge me"

I frowned at him. Did he forget when he made me kill someone or when he put his hands on me. I don't like you why would I acknowledge you. I frowned and he grabbed my chips.

I shrugged and he smiled "You can't lie"

"I've been told"

He dismissed me then called me back. I walked back into the room "Third room on the right and you can call me Dean"

I nodded and let the room. I walked into the room and his room was set up the same. His bed was against the wall and it felt weird without him here. I sat down on the bed munching on my chips hearing my phone go off. It was an unknown number and I didn't pick up.

The number called again and I picked up "Your boyfriend outside" then he hung up.

"DEAN" I yelled running downstairs

He followed after me and I opened the door. Ace was on the ground breathing heavily. He was beaten badly. It was worse than before. I bent down and looked at him. He was just on the floor laying.

Dean moved me out the way slightly and he grabbed Ace I helped him bring Ace upstairs. We laid him down on the bed. And Dean smiled sitting by him on the edge of the bed. I think this might've been the first time I've seen him smile genuinely.

"How'd you know"

"I gotta call" I said handing him my phone "You got a problem with someone"

"Now we do" He said standing up "I'll give your phone back"

I nodded and looked at Ace. He groaned moving in his bed "Hey pretty" he smiled

Both of his eyes were black. He had a buzz cut now instead of his curly hair. At least he had his teeth. It meant that they beat on his body. His face was bruised but I assumed they did worse.

I smiled holding his hand "How you feel"

"Better"

"Get some rest okay"

He shook his head "I couldn't see them" he frowned "I couldn't"

"Adrian you're home"

He sighed "They coming for us"

I nodded. Dean came back into the room and Ace tightened his grip. Dean sat down in front of me be had his eyes on Ace. Ace didn't seem to notice.

"I tracked them they were the same one's who did the bombing"

I was really curious now. Something happened at the Ball and nobody was talking. We were fine before and now we get attacked twice. Pope was child's play compared to this person.

"I found their spot I want you to light it up"

"Dad she's not a killer" Ace frowned "She can't go"

Dean glanced at me and I nodded. I was gonna go regardless. Ace taught me just about everything and I could do it. I smiled and looked at Adrian.

"Yeah yeah I'll leave your girlfriend alone only cause you're beat."

I frowned "We aren't dating"

Dean didn't respond and I looked at Ace who frowned "You aren't going"

"Okay Adrian"

"No you need to promise me"

I touched his eyebrows "Get some rest"
