UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 131 – 140
Nick rolls down the window of my car and step out.
” Everything okay princess ? How’s Alexa ? Is she okay ?” He asks.
I sigh and cross my arms and hands are full length and you have the address of the room all this while his and shake my head sideways. ” She’s missing.”
” The f**k ! What you talking about ?”
” We checked in , in her ward and she’s no where to be found. We saw a dead Russian man under her bed and he was overdosed.” I explain.
” Vladimir ?” Nick asks. I nod.
” He’s out of the country , right ?”
” Exactly my point. If someone tried to overdosed her and he couldn’t. Then who took her body ? She’s in coma right ?” Nick asks and I nod again.
” Ariel , you’re not safe if she’s missing. Someone who took her body might come after you. You should skip work today.”
” And get fired ?”
” You’re Gray’s girlfriend , no one’s gonna fire you.”
I scoff and walk past him to get in the car. I slide into the passenger seat and shut the door.
” I’m gonna take the cab.” Piper says from outside.
” Get in Piper , Nick’s gonna drop you off.” I turn to look at her and motion for her to get in. She shrugs and get in the backseat.
Nick huffs and enter the driver’s seat and ignite the engine. I turn on the radio as he begins driving.
” So what are you planning to do Ariel ?” Piper asks.
I glance briefly at her through the rearview mirror. I sigh and look back at the window.
” I swear I don’t know.” Maybe I just want my normal life back. Not some hard life where I can’t be free from psychotic shooters.
” I’m gonna talk to Gray about it. Manny’s gonna look through the ward for any suspects.” Nick utters.
” But how come they don’t have surveillance cameras around the hospital ? For f**k’s sake , they are supposed to be watchful of their patients not the other way round.” Piper says.
” I’m scared.” I mutter to myself.
I give Piper’s direction to Nick and he stops in front of her apartment.
” Bye , Ariel. Becareful okay.”
” Sure. Regards to Brandon.” I smile at her and she nods.
She get out of the car and shuts the door.
” I need to be at work today.” I say to Nick once we’re at the road.
” Ariel your cousin is missing. The least you could do is stay guarded.”
” So you’re saying I’m not allowed to go to work. Nick I skipped work yesterday.”
” And you’re not gonna die if you skip today. I need to take you to Gray’s house. It’s my responsibility to see to your safety or I’m gonna pay with my life.”
” Fine. Can we go to her apartment ?”
” No. I need to drop you off first. I’m sorry Ariel.”
I chew on my bottom lip and look out the window. After several attempts of talking to Nick to take me home so I can I go to work , it was fruitless. He halts the car in the garage and we get out. God I’m back to his house again. I shut the car angrily and walk ahead of him to the house. I cross my arms and glance around the living room. Gray’s talking with Reid and Manny is at the corner with his hands in his slacks pockets.
Gray smokes his cigarette while Reid is smoking a pipe. Gray hasn’t noticed me yet. He’s busy talking about Cage’s arrival and I’m left to wonder who’s really this Cage.
” Boss.” Nick appears from beside me.
He turns around and his eyes falls on my form. I sigh and walk past them to his bedroom upstairs.
