CHAPTER 175
Liam's POVI tried as best as I could to crawl into the corner and take cover behind anything I'd find while my eyes quickly scanned my surroundings for the person who shot me.The pain in my shoulder was pretty bad, but I tried as much as possible to ignore it. I had a Glock in my waistband, but I knew it would be worse to draw it now. Whoever shot me was watching my every move.It couldn't have been Blackwood. He couldn't have gotten here so fast. Well, unless he already had someone in the area, he wants to do his dirty work for him.The sound of shoes on tiles came to my ears, and I turned towards the direction it came from. The silhouette of a man came into view before he finally emerged from the shadows, armed with an automatic rifle, which he now held in a cross-hug against his chest.Silas Scratch…He looked as if he had been through hell with bandages on most parts of his body and even one of his hands. He spotted a black eye, and I could see that he even walked with a slight
CHAPTER 174
Ryan's POVI stifled a scream and wheeled around to find myself face-to-face with Father. I had never seen him this angry and standing right in front of him with his hand on my shoulder unhinged me.His eyes slowly went to the table, lingering for a while on the recorder before returning to my face.“What were you doing?” He asked.“The recorder,” I said hastily. “You left it lying around on your table.”“And?”“I think you should keep it safe,” I advised. “You should lock it up or something.”Father seemed to relax a bit, he saw me returning it to his table after all so he had no cause to accuse me of stealing it.“I've just been busy lately. I haven't taken care of it yet.” He finally relaxed and took his hand off my shoulder.“Yeah, I think you should..”I hadn't completed the sentence before Father took the recorder and before my eyes smashed it to bits.I felt a lump in my throat as I silently watched him proceed to completely crush it under his heel until everything was in bits.
CHAPTER 173
Ryan's POV“I don't know where he is,” I said.A look of disappointment immediately flashed on Father's face before vanishing just as quickly. “Are you telling me the truth, son?” He asked.I didn't want to tell him. I had to see for myself that my father really wanted to change for the better.“I am,” I replied blankly, trying my best to hide my emotions. “He's being careful. He doesn't really trust me that much. We only meet at odd places he picks.”I could swear that anger was slowly returning to Father's eyes. Maybe this was all a ruse to get me spilling the beans and then he'd quickly dispose of me. I really couldn't tell.“But…” I quickly added. “I can tell you what he's up to and what he's got planned for you.”Father wasn't really enthusiastic about this one I could tell. He was hell-bent on Liam.“Tell me.” He said curtly.I was about to talk when his phone buzzed loudly. I watched him take out the phone and quickly frowned when he read the text on his screen.“Is everything
CHAPTER 172
Ryan's POVI didn't say anything. I wouldn't have been about to speak even if I tried so I just stared back at the imposing figure of my father and watched him begin to approach the bed slowly.What was he going to do now? Knowing father very well I knew he would most likely choke me and watch the light fade slowly from my eyes without breaking a sweat.I tried to get up and my stomach hurt badly. I wouldn't lay there and let him finish me off. Even in my weak state I was prepared to put up a fight as best as I could.I had only managed to get myself into a sitting position when he reached out and grabbed my shoulder. “I forgive you.” He said.I froze in shock and stared at him with my jaw unconsciously hanging open.With him next to me again, it was now I took a good look into his eyes and I could see that he wasn't angry! This was weird. Father was one of those people who never smiled and never displayed any emotions linked with happiness but he was different now. He looked remors
CHAPTER 171
Liam's POVJust like that my plan was suddenly turned to nothing, vaporized as if it was nothing. My well-crafted and failproof plan. There was just no way I'd be able to clear my name now.I only felt even more humiliated when Charles led me to one of the computers to show me a small map of the city and where the feds were currently searching. They were closing in.“It's a matter of time before they close in on us,” Charles explained. “They're hell-bent on finding us, Liam. If we have a plan we need to execute fast. If not, it's a matter of time before they start using satellite imagery and once they do, trust me, we're toast.”I didn't speak immediately. I didn't even know what I wanted to say again. I was no leader… I had led them out into the middle of nowhere as if I was some Robinhood and his merry men but in reality, I was nothing near that. It was time to face reality.“We are going to turn ourselves in,” I replied.Silence settled around the room and everyone else turned thei
CHAPTER 170
Ryan's POVI gasped and my legs buckled under my weight. The world swam before my eyes with Scratch's sneer zooming in and out but then the instinct to survive kicked in!I grabbed Silas' arm and dug my finger into one of the gashes left there after he had shattered the glass table with his fall. Silas hissed painfully, his features all twisted up in his agony. I used the pain I was inflicting to my own advantage. I twisted his arm with my finger digging deeper into his flash which only kept his blade into my own flesh.Silas roared in agony and he tried to pull free but I held on with a death grip while my own lifeblood drained the floor. Silas managed to retract his arm but failed to take the knife out of my body but I still held on. With all my strength, I slammed Silas’s wounded arm against the overturned metal frame of the table.I heard a snap and Silas screamed painfully and stumbled back clutching his arm. He raised his other hand reaching for the knife still lodged in my ab
