Dom’s POV
“There you two are.” I sighed in relief as I caught sight of them coming out of the kitchen.
“We were just getting drinks and talking a little.”
“Everything okay?” I asked them both.
“We’re fine.” Letty spoke as she leaned up to kiss me. I tilted my head down, closing the distance between us so she didn’t have to reach as far.
“Good.” I whispered as I pulled away. She sent me a smile as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her backwards into my chest. I relaxed as she relaxed into my hold and for the first time since the accident I was at ease. Nothing felt wrong or out of place, for once everything felt normal again.
“What are you thinking about papa?” She questioned quietly. I lowered my gaze to hers and smiled.
“Nothing much, just thinking how everything feels like normal again.” She smiled softly and I squeezed her hips in response.
“Do you think he’s done now?” She asked.
Her question sparked a heavy feeling in my chest as I thought back to my car and the warning that came along with it.
“I hope so.” I managed to say as I kissed her head.
“Back in a second I just need to use the bathroom.” She spoke and I nodded letting her go with another quick kiss.
“Wait for me, I’ll come with you.” Mia spoke up and I watched carefully as they both made their way up the stairs laughing and smiling to one another.
“So far so good.” Vince spoke up and I nodded.
“Yeah I’ve got a good feeling about tonight. I don’t think we have anything to worry about.” I spoke as I downed the rest of my drink.
“Great because she is hot and by the end of tonight she’s going to be in my bed.” He whistled as a red head walked by. She sent him a flirty smile and just like that he was gone chasing after her. I let out a chuckle and shook my head at his playboy ways.
“Hey Dom have you seen Jacob? I can’t find him anywhere and my mum wants him home.” Hector asked as he reached my side. I did a quick scan of the room and shook my head.
“Nah man I haven’t seen him.”
“Damn kid. He said he was going to the bathroom five minutes ago and I haven’t seen him since. I swear if he’s snuck out I’m gunna kill him.”
“Relax brother, Letty and Mia just went to the bathroom we’ll head up and see if they’ve seen him.”
Hector nodded his thanks as we started up the stairs, side stepping drunks the whole way up. I frowned as I flicked the hallway light on, swearing to myself I had left it on earlier before the party.
“Thought you usually left this light on?” Hector spoke as he tripped over an empty bottle.
“Yeah I do. Guess some drunk must have turned it off.” I spoke shaking my head.
“Dude you have a lot of cleaning to do in the morning.” Hector spoke eyeing up the knocked over table in the hallway. There was broken glass from the vase Mia had sitting on it and I sighed.
“Damn kids.” I muttered as I moved around it careful and towards the closed bathroom door. Raising my hand I knocked loudly, leaning my ear against the door to hear better.
“Let, Mia you in there?” I asked through the door. I listened carefully but heard nothing just silence from the other end. I tried the handle, the door opening easily as I stepped through. Once the door was open wide enough for me to see in I stopped short, a sense of cold dread running through me.
The room was a mess. Everything off the sink had been tossed to the floor, the shower curtain was barely hanging from the rail and it was torn in two or more places. There was what looked like red paint and water smeared over the floor. The two bright red hand prints smeared across the wall made my stomach turn. I stumbled into the bathroom and walked towards the mirror. The mirror itself was smashed, shattered in so many places I was seeing quadruple of myself and in the middle was bright red writing. My stomach gave another harsh twist as I took in the blood and the words it formed.
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. I WIN.
“Fuck…” Hector whispered but I couldn’t concentrate. The room was spinning and my stomach was churning at the same time.
“Dom we have to call the police.” I heard the words but I couldn’t move as I stood still staring at the mirror.
“Come on brother let’s get you out of here.” I stumbled as I let Hector lead me from the room but I only made it to the wall opposite the bathroom before I collapsed to the floor in shock.
“I’m gunna get Vince and the boys up here okay. Stay here.”
“He’s got Letty and Mia.” I choked out.
“We’ll find them Dom, just stay here.”
Vince’s POV
“Why don’t you show me your room?” I grinned triumphantly as the red head offered herself up to me.
“Follow me.” I whispered into her ear before I turned and led her through the throngs of people that littered the lounge.
“Vince. Vince. VINCE!” I frowned turning in the direction of the shouting. I looked around before noticing Hector storming his way down the stairs, pushing people out of his way. Frowning I turned to the red head whose name I never caught and told her I’d be back in a second.
“Hector? What’s going on?” I asked as I finally met him at the bottom of the steps.
“It’s Letty and Mia.” I didn’t need to hear the rest before I pushed him aside and thundered up the stairs. The first thing I noted was Dom on the ground, muttering to himself as he stared into space.
“Dom? Dom what happened?” I demanded as I arrived at his side.
“All they did was go to the bathroom. Now they’re gone.” I frowned, worried for my best friend as he seemed to just shut down. Looking up I noted the bathroom door open and the sight that met me beyond that was nothing I had ever imagined.
“Holy shit.” A curse came from behind me and I looked up to see Leon and Jesse staring at the bathroom in horror.
“Where’s Hector?” I demanded.
“Phoning the cops. His boys are shutting down the party making sure no one leaves.”
“I think Dom needs an ambulance. He’s gone into shock.” I spoke as I took off my jacket and wrapped it around him.
“How could this have happened? We would have heard something.” Leon shook his head in disbelief.
“I wanna know how they got in. Every door was locked apart from the front door and no one got past two of Hector’s boys.” Jesse spoke up.
“I think he has more people with him then we thought.” I spoke.
“Yeah it looks like he does. My brother’s still missing, it looks like he was one of them.” Hector spoke as he stood crushed and troubled in front of us.
