The Mafia's Limping bride

CHAPTER 3 – The police are not the police

Carol’s POV

“What’s the matter, Mr. Samson? Why did the police stop us suddenly?” I raised from my seat and with the help of the crutches I walked towards Mr. Samson. He looks a bit surprised and confused too.

“I am not sure Ms. Carol, I have never seen the police on this road” he curved his lips slightly and said.

“Did you break any law while driving?” according to my knowledge Mr. Samson has been driving the school bus for more than 10 years and he has never broken a law.

“No Ms. Carol” During our conversation three police officers had already reached the door.

“Open the door!” one officer gave a hard knock, and Mr. Samson opened the door.

“Good afternoon officers, how may I help you?” Mr. Samson greeted them politely with his usual smile, but the three officers were busy looking at me other than greeting Mr. Samson. The two officers behind the front officer whispered something to each other and the other one nodded.

The appearance of the officers looks different, I feel there’s something off of their look. They were tall and well built, the bulging muscles from their short sleeves were implying that they never missed their workout. The three men wore shades and the officer who came in front removed his shades giving me a deep sharp look.

“Who are you?” they entered the bus and asked when they saw me.

“I am a teacher at the school. Officers, what’s the matter?” I asked the leading one.

He looked above my shoulder and saw Avin was seated in his seat. His eyes started to sparkle when he saw Avin like he saw a treasure of pearls. I turned my head to see that Avin was a little bit terrified after seeing the officers.

“Avin it’s…” I turned to make him comfortable, but the officer who came first cut me in the middle and walked toward Avin.

“Are you Avin Khanna?” he kneeled in front of Avin and asked. I started to feel awkward about this behavior.

“Officer, I am sure…” I walked to him with the help of my crutches.

“Ma’am, we have strict orders from the department that Avin’s life is in danger and his father personally asked to pick him up from the bus and drop him to his home,” the kneeled officer said standing tall in front of me.

“What? But…” I was stunned to hear that Avin was having a life threat.

“Ma’am, let us do our duty. Avin, let’s go kid. We will drop you home” The officer seems in a hurry to pick up Avin. Meanwhile, I noticed his uniform and appearance. I barely saw the edge of a tattoo that ends right from his left arm’s biceps. I guess the shirt sleeve covered the tattoo and it was not allowed to carve any tattoo for the police officers.

Then my eyes moved slowly down towards his shoes. It was not the police shoes, they were wearing jungle boots!

What if they are the threat to Avin!?

“Officer, please don’t mind asking this, but do you have any official letter from the department asking to take Avin and drop him home?” I made sure that they didn’t feel suspicious that I was suspicious about them.

“Ma’am, are you interfering with our duty? Do you know what charges I can press against you?” he then asked me with an irritating tone.

“Officer, please don’t mind, but he is a kid from my school and his protection is also my responsibility. How about I call his dad and if he is all right with that, you can take him from here” his nostrils started to flare and his face started to be red.

“Ma’am, don’t test my patience. Let me do my duty” he c*cked an eyebrow leaning to my face.

“No, I am not allowing you to take the kid until you show me a proper document” I challenged the big guy.

Oh, what are you now? Are you the Wonder Woman Carol? What are you gonna do with your limping leg? There are three muscular men here. My subconscious started to warn me.

“Avin, give me your dad’s contact number. I will call him….” I pulled my mobile from my pant pocket and was about to dial the number according to Avin, but one man grabbed my mobile.

“Ah ha, that’s not a wise decision my lady!” he smirked.

“Who are you people? You are not police officers. Mr. Samson. Call 911 immediately” It was too late. The last man who was there already pointed a gun to Mr. Samson’s head.

My eyes widened in horror and at the same time, Avin started to scream in terror. What was going to happen here was too big for his little brain.

“Why don’t we all calm down and settle for a minute” the big guy who was standing in front of me yelled.

“Who are you people? why are you here?” At this moment I started to sweat and my heartbeat was at its peak. When I looked at Avin, his eyes were already filled with tears.

“Avin, it’s all right. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you” I gave him an assurance look and a tone.

“Yes, and by staying silent you can do it. If you become trouble to us, I am afraid that the silence will break with a few bullets” The big guy threatened me making my body covered with goosebumps.

“Chief. Let’s go. We are already late from the given time; the boss will be pissed” the one who was pointing his gun towards Mr. Samson’s head said.

The man who called them chief took Avin between his arms and Avin started to scream.

“Ms. Carol, help me. Please don’t let them take me away” Avin was holding to my shoulder but the big guy pulled him away making a big tear on the right shoulder of the blouse revealing my bra strips to them.

“No, stop. You can’t take him, I won’t let you do it” I started to hit them with my Crutcher.

“Stop it, stop it you crazy woman!” they were cursing me, but I continued my assault on them.

“Ma’am, help me” Meanwhile Avin was screaming, but he was dragged by the muscular man mercilessly.

“Somebody help, please help. They are k********g the kid” I started to yell. I should have done it at the beginning other than arguing with them.

“Shut the f**k up” another man who was free kicked my limping leg. I fell on the bus with a loud thud and my leg started to give an unbearable pain. I wanted to cry by holding my leg, but I had to fight with them for Avin.

I dragged my body to the man who was carrying Avin and hung on his leg wrapping my body around.

“Chief, this woman’s and kid’s scream will draw unnecessary attention to us. Shall I deal with them?” one man asked.

“Do it and make them shut!” and the next moment I saw he was pulling a pouch from his pocket and it was an injection. The sharp point was shining in the sunlight.

“Please don’t hurt them. Why are you doing this?” Mr. Samson asked with a pity tone.

“Shut up, you old wreck!” the man who was pointing the gun at Mr. Samson’s head hit Mr. Samson’s head with the gun and he was unconscious and fell on the steering wheel.

The other man who pulled the injection out from his pocket shut my mouth with one hand. With my muffled voice, I felt a sharp pain run through my neck.

I heard the yell of Avin and it was the last voice I heard before I blacked out!

Hi ladies,

I hope the story is not boring to you. Though the chapter is about k********g them, I had to write it in a detailed way. I hope you liked my writing style and the plot.
