Dante'

Days dragged by now, it sucked so much that all I wanted to do was go home and find Liz there, playing with the baby. Two strangers found themselves needing each other for an infant found in a dumpster. I had Slim look into Bethanni checking on her every three days since they took her from us. I was really taking on the father roles, well at least someone should've after the hell she threw. Her mother was raped creating her and then the husband left after discovery the baby wasn't his. Upon finding out her rapist worked at my club, my best friend's brother, she handed the baby over only to kill herself and he threw the baby in the damn dumpster. Groaning running my fingers through my hair knowing today was just another miserable day going home to not seeing Liz or Bethanni,

A loud bang at the door forced me back to reality, Slim stood there covered in blood and breathless,

"Paul... raped... Liz" I jumped to my feet running out,

Reaching my apartment, medics and police were everywhere, pushing my way through just needed to see her. I couldn't see her anywhere

"Liza Oms" I screamed pushing through more of the crowd,

"Sir please stay behind the tape." the cop said

"NO, you don't understand that is my apartment and she is my girlfriend is in there" I rushed

"Both victims have already been taken to the hospital."

"Wait, Luentint Mict"

"Dante'"

He pulled me to the side and began explaining the scene

"Paul was released on bail, he came looking for Liz and she put up a good fight, she even shot him in the genitals." I laughed knowing Slim was the one that shot that fucker, but we can't have dead bodies on us.

"Where is she?"

"General" He didn't get a chance to finish the sentence before I dodge my car speeding to the hospital. A ten-minute drive took me two minutes to get there,

"I'm looking for Liza Oms, the police may have come in with her" I nearly shouted, making the poor woman jump out of her seat.

"Um, Sir,"

"I'm sorry, she's my girlfriend and she was attacked, I just want to see her." I quickly explained.

"Okay, room 116 over there" she pointed to the room that was closed off with two police officers. As I got close the officers blocked the door

"Sir, I was just told that my girlfriend is in the room" I was trying so hard to keep it together, but nothing prepared me for the response.

"Sorry, no one can enter until further notice." Sitting in the chair next to the cop calling Slim,

"Tell me everything" he explained everything from tailing her as I asked to how he lost her while he got something to eat, and hearing screams from my apartment and finding Paul on top of her naked body. Gripping the phone hard, hearing him describe the state he found the girl I love.

"Sir, you can go in now," the cop said tapping my shoulder, I didn't waste any time,

"Liz," I rushed in gently grabbing her cheeks, kissing her, not caring who was there. She was alive and that was all that mattered to me right now. After I kissed her I stepped back getting a good look at her and what that fucker did to her, wanting nothing more than to kill him. She had a bandage on her left hand and a busted lip, her cheek was swallowed and bruised. Under the gown, I couldn't see anymore, but one thing came to mind that scared the shit out me but I needed to know.

"Did...He..." choking on my words as she began crying harder, shaking her head.

"No, al... al..."

"Shush it's ok" she stuttered and hiccupped, she needed to be held and that was what I intended to do. Sitting on the side of the bed wrapping her into my blanket of warmth rocking her, when she was half asleep Slim texted and told me that detective Mict had Paul and wanted me to interrogate him. Smiling at the ideas floating around my head, calling in my gang this was going to be fun.

I left Liza sleeping at the hospital, now I stood in front of the man that had raped 15 women and countless other women that didn't report it, he tried to take my girlfriends virginity something she held dear.

"Paul Paul Paul," I said, circling him the chair he was currently tied to. Sweat pouring off his face, bleeding from being shot in the hip close enough to his dick to know it probably won't work again. That gave a bright idea,

"Strip boys" laughter erupted as they yanked him to his feet, ripping his clothes as he struggled and huffed screams when Slim punched him in the wound. His muscular body stood naked in front of me, the man I had grown up with turned into a monster, he was one of the reasons I left for three years and returned a man, seeking him and Todd just to because I trusted them and this was the payment, this is thanks in return.

"Everyone leave," I ordered, seeing the questioned look, but no one spoke, and when the door closed.

"Paul Timothy Abart" I said and his eyes grew wide, there were only three people in the world that knew his real last name, Todd, him, and Christina.

"That's right, Christina disappeared three years ago, you know why?" he shook frantically huffing at the tape on his mouth.

"I left because of you, at Joe's party you, Todd and I got so drunk none of us could stand or even think and Todd dared us to kiss me, but you went too far and did things I didn't girl could do until that night, so scared and freaked out I packed up and left town."

"So for what you did to me and Liza my members have a treat for you, Enjoy" and with a sinister smile, I left the room.

"Make sure he's alive for his hearing in two weeks," I instructed Slim and the guys as I left headed by the hospital to see Liza. When I got to her room the cops were gone and she was sleeping, peaceful, I thought I could save her from all the bad in this world when in the end I'm the one that exposed her. I made a vow to never leave her side again and after I told her the truth and she wants me, then she has me. I fell in love with a Nun and a baby could get any better.

"I love you" I whispered to her then left to sleep in her peaceful state, it was time to go get my daughter back as well.
