25| Mateo

I take out some photos but all I see is two people in a bed but the shot is only of their waist down.

I continue to look at the pictures and by the third one I am able to see that it's BELLE who is in the bed unconscious along with a man that has a black makes on.

My blood is boiling from the anger that I am feeling.

"Boss, we checked everywhere in the mansion and your daughter is not here".

I turn around holding the pictures at hand but all I say is, "They were here!! Tell them that we are leaving!"

Damien leaves to tell the others.

I walk downstairs and see David, I notice that he is all dirty.

He looks at me but then his eyes go towards my hand that is holding my wound.

I feel a little dizzy but I wave it off.

"David, they are not here".

I say as everyone and everything turns black.

Damien
"MATEO!"

David shouts.

Mateo has just collapsed on the floor.

David and I run towards him to help him. Once we get to him and turn him around we see that he is losing a lot if blood.

David looks at me and says, "He is pale. We have to take him with Athena, she will know what to do she is a doctor".

I nod as I tell the men to start heading out.

David and I are holding Mateo by the entrance door when one of the men comes running to us and yells, "Bomb!!"

We don't have time to react when everything blows up on fire.

Everyone is in the ground. I can't hear anything at all. All I see is David's lips moving as he yells something.

After ten seconds my hearing returns and I hear him say, "Everyone okay?".

Some groan while others answer with a YES.

We start to try walk to the cars.

With the help of David, Mateo is now on the back seat of the car but is unconscious and still loosing blood.

We agree to meet at Mark's house, we all drive away before the police gets here.

Athena

Since we found out that Bella was missing I can't think, drink or eat.

Mark has tried to help me but all I want is for my husband and daughter to be next to me.

Some hours have passed since Mateo and Damien left to see if they find Bella.

I tell Mark that we should call Mateo or Damien to see if there is any good news.

Mark agrees and is about to dial when a call enters.

"Damien... " as he is about to asks about what is going on he is interrupted.

Mark puts the call on speaker so that I can hear everything too.

"Mark, we are heading to your house but we have two problems. First one is that we didn't find Belle and the second one is that Mateo is badly injure".

After hearing Damien a gasp comes out from my lips in disbelief.

No, this can't be happening not only is my daughter still missing but my husband is hurt.

I grab the phone and ask Damien, "What happened to Mateo?!

My answer is that Mateo got shot on the stomach and that he has lost a lot of blood.

I don't even bother to hang up because I run to my office to get my emergency kit and everything I will need.

I am all ready for when my husband gets here!

Thirty minutes pass when the front door bust open.

I am able to see David and Damien holding a very pale Mateo.

"God", I can't help gasp.

I run to them and so does Mark.

The three of them help me place him on the coach as I start to rip off Mateo's shirt off.
