In his grasp 2

“Where is she Grey?” I shouted down the phone in rage. How could he just take her?!  “She’s fine Lauren, your so bossy, we are having a nice drink together” his tone was pure evil and it sent shivers down my spine. I looked up at Joe with tears of anger and anxiety filling my eyes.  “What do you want Grey?!” I yelled and tears started to drop from my ducts.  “You know what Lauren, we are made for each other. Don’t you think you have teased me enough over the year?”. Joe looked like he was going to hurt someone and gave me a look of warning. I squinted to try and clear my eyes so I could see properly through the tears and then looked down at the ground. “Where?” I grunted. Joe looked at me with pure control and anger. He shook his head and grabbed my arm.  “I will tell you soon enough, I don’t want your little pals to hear where I am!” He laughed and then hung up the phone. I couldn’t hold it back anymore and let myself completely lose control. Joe held me into his chest as I groaned and gasped for breath from crying. I heard footsteps run up to us and then Ryan’s voice. “What happened?” I sniffed and pulled back from Joe but I could get my words out because of how hard I was crying. “It’s Grey, he has taken Molly” Joe bluntly said gritting his teeth.  “What! Why?” He was standing there in disbelief from the shock. “Ryan, it’s all my fault, he wants me and now he is using Molly to get to me”. I took a moment to breathe as the sick thoughts ran through my head. “What if he touches her. Or hurts her or even...” I began to cry uncontrollably again. “Baby girl, you don’t know that” Joe said placing his arms around me once again. “We have to find her” I muffled as my face was buried into Joe’s chest. “We will” Ryan said trying to comfort me with his words. I stepped back and wiped my face.  “What are we suppose to do now?” I asked looking for advice. “I will talk to Simon, get him to send out a search party for her and tap into his phone to see if he can find a location, meanwhile you will stay with me baby girl I have to keep you safe” he said handing me back the key to his apartment. Ryan looked slightly jealous and angry at the fact that I would be with Joe all the time. He pulled out his phone and said “I’m gonna call around and speak to our friends down at the fire, see if I can find out anything”. He went to turn to walk away and then held the side of my arm. “It’s going to be okay Lauren, we will get her back” he then walked off leaving me and the slightly tensed Joe. He looked at me as I lost myself in my own thoughts.  “Don’t you even think about it Lauren” he sternly said snapping me out of it. I looked up at him. “Joe... I have to, he could be anywhere” I stated. “You are not putting yourself in danger to save your friend I’m not having it. You will leave it to Simon, he will find out his location and then he will get her and put Grey away for life” he demanded. I scrunched my face up and stepped away from him.  “I’m doing this Joe! Whether you like it or not, I am going to get molly back and ending this once and for all” I snapped. He looked at me with such frustration in his eyes as I never speak to him like this. I walked away from him and ran to my car. I heard him shouting me to go back to him but I just kept running. After unlocking it I jumped in and turned the car on then drove off. Suddenly a text came through with an address and I punched it into the Sat nav.  **Joe’s POV** As soon as her car was out of view I grabbed my phone. How dare she! She does as I say and that’s that. She doesn’t go against my wishes, she doesn’t get into any trouble and she is to abide by my rules! I was so angry that my jaw was hurting from tensing it. I pulled up Simons contact and rang him. After I had explained everything to him he took a moment to process it all before replying. “I will get Glen and Trevor to lead the search team while I hack into his phone to find out who he has been taking to and where he has been” he reassured me. “Thanks Simon, I’m gonna go and find Lauren, I’ve got a bad feeling she’s decided to lead her own search party alone” I grumbled.  “Make sure you do mate, he got a bit of a colourful record and I don’t think she understands the lengths he will go to” he warned me and I hung up. I have to find her! Why does she have to be so stubborn. She is mine and only mine, she is suppose to do as I say, not go running off trying to play the hero to one of her attention seeking friends.  “Where’s Lauren?”. Ugh, when will this guy f**k off?! “She’s gone” I replied shoving my phone in my pocket and retrieving my keys from the other. “Gone!” Ryan yelled. “Where?!” I was getting fed up with this little mug getting involved and if he thinks I’m just going to tell him about her then he has got another thing coming. I ignored him and walked over to my spotless Range Rover. I’m not gonna lie, I wanted Ryan to follow me so that he could see just how much I own and that he has nothing compared to me. “Where is she Joe?!” He yelled to me as I got into my car. “Gone” I repeated before closing the door. I drove off smirking to myself.
