The Secret Security Guard

Chapter 23 - "I've got your dad"

"Yeah, she almost got kidnapped, we think." I hear Harley tell Logan.

When we got to her room we locked up and she called Logan on her phone.

"Oh shit... that's bad." He says on speakerphone.

"Trust me, I know," I say.

I  look around for the hundredth time still feeling a bit scared.

I check my phone for the hundredth time, watching the time, Harl said at 8:30 we'll call my dad. He always promised he'd be free at 8:30 pm if I needed anything so I'm waiting for the time.

8:25

8:27

8:28

"Bailey you need to relax we're not going to miss the time," Harley tells me.

I quickly check again 8:29 then 8:30 comes.

I open my phone and go onto contacts I click his name and call, I hold my breath in anticipation but he doesn't answer.

I call again and hear him pick up the phone.

"Hey hun," I hear him say, his voice sounds strained.

"Hey, dad," 

"How are you?" He asks still sounding strained.

Through the phone, I hear unfamiliar voices.

"Good, whereabouts are you," I ask nervously.

I hear another voice through the phone.

"Urg, sick of that shit conversation, hey Bailey." A man that I don't know says.

"Um, who is this?" I ask.

I try to think of people that it could be but don't manage to think of anyone.

"Someone I don't think you'll like, let's cut to the chase shall we?" He says.

I'm so confused right now.

"Yeah..." I mumble.

"I've got your dad, ok? You won't be seeing him for a bit." He states with a smug tone.

If he could see my right now he would be killed by my glare.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I think you know what I mean, we need you... you've got something we need," he says.

"Where is he?" I spit.

"You're funny Bailey, like I'm going to tell you that," he says.

I feel Harley tap my arm and she whispers to me to turn it on speaker, I put him on speaker.

"How do I get him back then!" I shout at the man through the phone.

"First get your phone off speaker and second come to us," He says.

I turn my phone off the speaker.

"How'd you know - " I get cut off.

"I know a lot of things." He says.

"Ugghhh, why do you have to be so frustrating, how do I come to you!?" I shout.

I hear him sigh like he's having a hard time. If I ever get my hands on him he'll regret being an asshole.

"Fine, we'll come to you." He says.

"No, you won't. My dad will find a way out of this shit," I state.

He laughs, an evil laugh.

"Why don't you see him then?" He asks.

He requests to facetime so I accept and cover my camera.

"No need to cover your camera I already know what Harley's room looks like." He says.

He faces the camera to my dad and I see him with blood on his face, he has bruises everywhere I can see. I screenshot hoping no one over the phone will hear, I take in the surroundings not seeing much.

I see what looks like a black door with the words and number SR-45. Not much to work on but it's something.

 I screenshot again incase it mucked up before.

"Every screenshot is another beating for your dad sweetie." He says I can practically hear the smirk in his voice.

'Well, fuck you then and don't call me sweetie ever again." I spit.

"Watch your langue darling." He says, what a creep.

I hang up then immediately regret it, I should of ask him more questions. I throw my phone onto my bed.

Harley looks at me expectantly.

"Well, what did he say?" She asks.

Too much, if my dad dies I don't know what I'm going to do.

"I screenshotted when he video called and he said he's going to find me because I have something they have," I say.

She breaths in.

"Should we get the police involved?" She asks.

I shake my head.

"I don't know but it just seems like a bad idea," I tell her.

She nods understandingly.

"Are you ok?" She asks.

Am I? I don't even know, I need to be strong so my dad survives.

"Yeah, I guess so," I say.

She pulls me into a hug.

"It's ok if you're not, you know that right?" She asks.

I nod even though I don't really know.

"Ok, do you know what we're going to do right now?" She says.

I shake my head not knowing.

"We're going to find your dad," She tells me.

I nod and smile.

"Thanks so much, Harley," I thank her.

"Get that screenshot up." She says.

I get it up and cringe when I see my dad, she grabs the phone from me and crops him out and scribbles out all the places I can still see.

"Better," She says.

I smile.

"Thanks a heap." She says.

She zooms in to the letters and numbers.

"I wonder what that could stand for?" She says.

"We should call Malachi, his dad works for the government people and he seems to know some stuff," I ask.

She nods.

"Good idea," She says.

I nod and get my phone out to call him.
