SWNOVELS Chapter 49
Chapter 49
Alex‘ PÓV
“Yo bro you’ve missed so much practice what’s happened?!” Tyler runs over to us as we walk around the grounds during lunch – passing
the football field.
“We’ve been busy.” I state bluntly, as he nods once with a rough idea of what that meant.
The people at school knew at this point that whenever we weren’t there, we had business, and it was usually best for them to keep their noses out of it.
So with that, Tyler wishes us well and leaves – as simple as that as we carry on walking through the school grounds looking for any unfamiliar faces.
Jace had managed to find Holdens Facebook account on the drive over here, and luckily enough his profile picture consisted of who I’m guessing is Holden, Jason and Tommy. They seemed to be on, what looks like, a fishing trip as they all stand together smiling on a small boat.
After seeing their faces, my insides burned for pure revenge… it was similar to when you watch those documentaries about the serial killers and psychopaths in the world, and you just know by looking at them that they reek of sheer evil? This was the same.
I’ve done some pretty bad things in my time, but all of which could be easily justified, never have I abused and bullied an innocent small gif just for fun!
My mind was consumed with conflicting thoughts… I wanted nothing more than to wrap my hands around each of their scrawny n*cks – watching the colour drain from their faces – but Lottie didn’t want that.
Maybe Lottie doesn’t have to know?
I then think back to Del’s plan which had a certain twisted logic to it. It made the most sense in the end, lure them in and then ‘accidentally‘ beat them to death, and be covered by the contract – the jobs fool proof.
We could even register the fight, therefore if it went to court, Freddie wouldn’t be pulled in for hosting illegal fights either? I could easily tip off the real ref to allow me the chance to get a few extra deadly hits in before he steps in to call it? It was easy…
“Do you think they’ll be here already? Maybe they haven’t drove through yet…” Jace states, as we cover the front of the school again and it’s car park.
“How could we find out?” Del questions, as I shrug in thought – eyeing everyone as they pass us.
“Maybe we could phone their school? Ask if they are there? If they arent then we could take that as they are either on their way here or that they are already here?” I suggest, as Jace’s eyes perk up.
“Perfect let me call them up and I’ll just pretend to be one of their Dads!” Jace sniggers, before clicking a few buttons on his phone to find the number.
Moments later Jace dials the number, his fingers tapping against the screen as we all wait with bated breath. The phone rang, and Jace put it on speaker, allowing us all to hear the conversation…
Hello how can I help?” The soft tone fills the air, as we move to a more quiet area.
“Hello, this is Mr. Mitchell.” Jace spoke in a deeper voice, attempting to imitate one of their fathers, as myself and Del tried to contain our laughs.
I’m calling to check if my boy, Holden, was present at school today – we’ve been having some problems with him ditching lately.” He concludes, as the female receptionist listens carefully.
“Holden Mitchell? Give me two minutes and I’ll check his class registers for you!” She politely tells us, as we wait.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, before a response came back through…
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Mitchell, but Holden did not actually turn up for any of his classes this morning! He is marked as being on holiday.” The receptionist seems to panic slightly, as we all eye one another knowingly…
“Ah I see! His uncle will probably have him off on a fishing trip I would imagine! Nothing to worry about let me make a few calls and he will be back at school soon.” Jace keeps his composure, not wanting the school to take the absence any further.
A rush of excitement and tension surged through us. They weren’t at school, which meant there was a high chance they were already in town or on their way here at least. Del and I exchanged glances, a mixture of determination and anticipation in our eyes.
“Thank you for letting me know,” Jace cuts, doing his best to maintain the deep voice, before he says a quick goodbye and ends the line.
As Jace ended the call, a surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins. The moment was fast approaching… The hunt was on…
Since the moment I overheard Lottie telling Anna what they did, I have planned to find them and punish them for their actions, and now lucky for me they are walking right into our territory.
–
Those b*tches seriously thought they were coming here to find Lottie, unaware that we were actually looking for them in the same breath!
“We need to be prepared,” I say, my voice filled with a sense of urgency.
“We’ll go back and check on the girls and finalize the plan. It’s time to put an end to this and make sure they know not to ever come f**king back to this town again.” I finish, as we approach my car, clambering inside.
“So does that mean you like my idea? About the fight I mean?” Del questions, as I put the car into drive – scanning the car park one last time before taking off.
“So far, it’s the best plan we have!” I agree, as Del and Jace smirk.
I’ll end them in the ring…
“We might need to call in backup… have more eyes working around town… we have a picture to show the guys now too!” Jace adds, as we drive off in the direction back to Dels.
Maybe we should actually use our guys… it’s not like we bother them often… not since everything fell quiet after what happened to my parents… I’m sure they won’t hesitate to help us out.
“I think you might be right… call them in.” I agree, as they both waste no time on tapping away on their phones to contact them.
I drive on, deciding to stop briefly at the cafe to grab the girls lunch, leaving Del and Jace back in the car to contact our men. I felt guilty for having to put Lottie and Anna on full lockdown but I didn’t want Lottie to be sighted by them in town… it would make their job way
too easy.
They would stalk her and find out where she’s staying, and I would rather give her a sense of security in Dels home than tarnish her safety.
I order them both Cajun chicken pasta to takeaway, along with two iced sponge cakes – can’t go wrong with a typical sponge cake.
I head back to the car, getting in, before Jace speaks-
“We contacted twelve of them, they are all coming over tonight at eight Jace confirms, as I smirk in accomplishment.
Despite myself, Jace and Del usually doing jobs on our own these days it was comforting to know that the group were still there in emergencies.
Some of them were married with kids, some worked out of town a lot, others were at college… but they would all still pull together for
me… in respect of my father.
They owe it to him…
