Saved

Chapter 39

❖Gabriel❖

I'm standing in the washing room of the warehouse. My shirt and pants are in the dryer and I'm washing the blood of my hands and arms.
After a couple of bullets were planted in his body, Easton finally broke. He told us everything we needed to know. The weak bastard couldn't handle the pain we gave him.

The dryer beeps, signalling me that the program is finished and that my clothes are dry. Ones my hands and arms are completely clean again, I get dressed and walk out of the room.
River and Nicolaas are already waiting for me, together with my father.
"What's he doing here?" I shoot.
"He saw your work Gabe. Wanted to stay for a while." River answers.
"Just don't stand in my way." I look at my father with a stern look, leaving no place to argue.

"Nicolaas I want you to contact our man. We need to have a meeting as soon as possible."
"I can get everyone here in a couple of hours."
"No, it's almost night. I need them fresh and awake so they understand what I'm telling them. Let them come early in the morning. That gives us enough time to make a plan before they are here."
"Will do." Nicolaas walks off towards his computer room to message the man, leaving River, my father and me behind in the hallway.

"River, get my brothers and Eliot to join us in the meeting room. I'll call Raphael, so he can join as well."
River nods and walls away.
Without saying something to my father, I make my way to the meeting room to set up the call with Raphael.

"Are you able to talk?" I ask as soon Raphael picks up his phone.
"Yeah, the girls both fell asleep on the couch. Everything okay over there? Do I need to come over?" The door behind me opens and the others walk in.  "I'm putting you on speaker Raph, then everyone else can hear you too."
"What's going on?" Elliot asks.
"Take a seat and I'll explain."
I wait for them all to sit down at the table, my father still standing next to the door, as if he's observing what we're doing.

"We know where Samuel is. The asshole had been hiding in plain sight. He lives in a house on the edge of the woods. That is why we found Anna there. According to Easton, her father, Tom Ward, had told her about it, she must have tried to come to our warehouse when she escaped."
"Clever girl." Nicolaas says.
"She is. But that's beside the point. We know where the bastards are, now we need to plan to get them. That's why I called you all here. Tonight, we make the plan, tomorrow we tell our familia and after that, it'll be time to take our revenge. I hope you all had some coffee, because this will take a while.

"Is that everything we need? do we have a plan to get rid of Bratsvo?" Elliot asks.
I look around the table, my man, my brothers, are looking back at me. They all have tired looks on their faces, but in their eyes, there is a spark of hope. Hope of us finally being free from the Bratstvo.
"Yes." I answer. "We have a plan, everything is figured out to take those bastards out."
"There is only one thing we're forgetting." River suddenly speaks up. "Who is going to stay at home with the girls? Who will protect our queen when we go out to kill Samuel?"
I nod. Slightly surprised at myself that I didn't think of that. "It has to be someone we know well enough to trust them. I will not have another Hunter fiasco."

"We can do it." The twins said. "You won't let us get involved in the fight anyways." Aro continues. "So what better to keep us out of your way, then to get us to do something useful." Joel says, earning a hit on his head from Aro.
"That is not the reason I offered to do it. I want to protect Anna."
"Guys." I interrupt the both of them, "it's a good idea. You two can stay with the girls. But I  want a third person there. Just to be sure."
It stays quiet for a moment, as all of us are trying to think of a third person to stay at our home. Someone we trust, but also someone who wouldn't be missed in our plan.
