Liam's point of view

Man was that girl stupid! I thought as I chuckled to myself as I leaned back in the chair in my office. I opened my desk drawer and pulled out of the shipment files, then started calling our usual dealers so we could start picking up our shipments.

After about three and a half hours, I had gotten in contact with everyone I had needed to, so I began to put the files away. After I had gotten them put away, I was started by knock at the door, which result made me fall backwards in my chair.

"Come in" I shouted while picking up my chair.

Jason popped his head in "Hey, when are you going to do the ransom call?"

"Ugh you do it, I'm busy, I have to go pick up a shipment from one of our dealers, and then the boys need to make their rounds and deliver them" I said obviously irritated.

"No, you're better at that than me. Just do it on your way to pick up the shipment." He said as he turned to walk away, but stopped when I called after him.

"Jason, We have a slight problem."

"What happened you didn't kill her, did you?" Jason said filled with concern.

"No, but I bet she is wish I did."

"What did you do Liam!" Jason said his voice sounding very stressed.

"She saw my face, we can not let her go. She has to stay here." I said my voice even, with no emotion.

"Really Liam! Now her life is going to be ruined, and she has to stay here forever now!" Jason said so angry, if steam could have comes out of his ears it definitely would have.

"Jason what done is done. She's staying, we can still get the money and then once we get the money we just won't release her, easy peasy. Now go, I have more important things to do than talk about some girl." I said obviously annoyed, and with that he left with an eye roll and a sigh. Rolling my chair over to my so the side of my long desk, I pushed the intercom.

"Get ready to go pick up the shipments from the dealers then do the deliveries. You have ten minutes until we leave. Meet in the parlor. Oh, and Alejandro get me a disposable phone immediately. Bring it to the basement." Getting up I strapped on all my gear and headed down to the basement.

"Here boss, And it is good to have you back." He said over his shoulder as he was walking away.

Walking over to the wall was a control board, with the very worn out stickers marking the correct chains and all the basement functions. As I hit the button to release Emma, she came toppling down to the floor in a heap, as she was unconscious. I went to the sink where the guys clean up after getting blood on their hands. When I got over I noticed a pool of blood on the floor, after cleaning up the blood I grabbed some ice water to go splash on Emma to hopefully awaken her. I walked over to Emma, and dumped the water on her face while smacking her across the face. She started to stir, finally after what seemed like eternity she had sat up and opened her eyes. Soon as she was fully awake I threw her some clothes.

"Get dressed and then come talk to your daddy." I said my voice void of all emotion. She just stared at me blankly for a minute, and then she seemed to remember that she was naked, her eyes bugged out of her head, and she began quickly putting on her clothes. I snickered at her rapid movements. When she was done I noticed she was eyeing the man and the cart of the weapons we use for torturing people.

"Are you going to do to me what you did to that man." She said her voice so quiet I hardly could tell what she was saying.

"No not unless you are like him, besides that would be giving you an easy way out. That man had no family or anything except for his job, which is what got him like that in the first place. If you did something stupid I would go find your friend or your parents. They would have wished that they had died like that waiter kid in the café this morning that tried to let you escape." I said.

"Y-y-you killed him?" She said on the verge of tears.

"Yes I did, unless he survived a bullet in between his eyes. Now shut up with the questions and let's go call your father, so I can get my money and you out of here." I replied this time my voice showing irritation. I motioned for her to come sit in a nearby chair and pulled my phone out the number ready to dial, but she did not move. Her eyes were fixed on the man, silently crying as tears fell down her eyes. I went over to her.

"Listen kid, this guy is a bad man. He tortured many children, he deserves this we are going to make him suffer just like he did to those little kids." She still didn't move. Sighing I grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs into my office. I motioned for her to sit down on the office chair.

"Better?" I asked as I pulled the phone back out. She nodded. Ring Rin-- mid ring the office door popped open.

"Boss we have to go now, you know how the dealers get when we are late." I glared at him and he ran out. Laughing, I looked down at the phone and saw that it had gone to voicemail.

"Now I'll give you a choice. First option you can go that down to the basement, and I can put you in a cell, or you can come along for the ride and try to call your father on the way." I said while motioning for her to walk out of my office.

"Umm can I come on the car ride?" She said very softly.

"Yes, but if you try anything. I will kidnap your friend and I won't let her go." I replied with a smirk. She nodded, I grabbed her arm and started making our way to the foyer. Once we haven't gotten to the floor she tightened up when she saw all the guys with guns. I just rolled my eyes and push past them out the door, with her right behind me. Getting in my truck, I noticed that a mad Jason was storming towards us.

"What are you doing Liam! You can not take her with you!" He shouted at me, while still storming towards me. I started walking over to him.

"Jason, if she is going to stay here then she might as well be one of us. What better time then to start now, and besides her father did not answer. So we can do the ransom call in the truck, works out great! Now do you need anything else or can I go on my way?" I snapped.

"Fine just keep an eye on her." He said as he stormed away.

"Ok are we just going to stand there, get moving." I yelled to my men who were just standing there staring at me and Jason. As my men were running to their vehicles to leave, I motioned for Emma to get in. I started the truck then spun out of the driveway.

"Dial your fathers number and do what I tell you, if you say something I did not tell you too, then it would not be good for your friend or for you. Got it?" I said pushing the phone at her. She swallowed hard then nodded. Once she pushed pressed dial she put it on speaker, it answered the first ring.

Father: "Who is this."

Liam: "This is the person who is going to kill your daughter, If you don't send me $500,000 to the warehouse on 200 Ross street, by midnight tomorrow. Leave your car a mile away from the warehouse and walk the rest of the way to the warehouse alone. We will be wearing black masks, and she will be inside the warehouse with a gun to her head. We have stuff set up all around the warehouse, so that means we will know if you come with any unwanted guests, there will be a remote controlled car at the entrance. Which you will put the money on and I will drive it over to us, if the money is not real or at the correct amount, she will die. If you comply though I will release her and you can be on your way."

Father: "How do I know that you will let her go?"

Liam: "I guess you won't know, but if I didn't want a dead daughter I would take that chance, besides what would make you think I would want to keep her."

Father: "I need to speak to her before I do anything."

I muted the phone

"Tell him that I am very mean, and I hurt you, and that you need him to help you fast."

Unmute

Emma: "dad help me" She whispered

Father: "It is okay honey, we will get you home soon." I motioned for to open her mouth to scream. She did.

Liam: "You have until tomorrow, don't be late"

Beep beep bee--- I disconnected the call. As soon as it disconnected Emma started sobbing. This was going to be a long ride.
