Chapter 19
"Everything is going to be alright, so stop looking like shit." Matteo informed Stephan who was lost in thought, he knew nothing would happen to them, and that Stephan was more worried about Dawn's well being.
There was a possibility she could be killed but with the way Stephan was looking, Matteo swore to try all his best to make sure Dawn left there alive. He had never seen Stephan like this before, except the time when there mother died. Was he in love? Could Stephan really love someone?
He wanted to ask but this wasn't the right time.
Stephan checked his gun magazine as well putting it into his back, he twirled the knife in his hand like an expert.
Matteo dialed the number again.
"Where the fuck are you? Hope you are coming alone? If you bring the police I will kill her I swear."
"Am coming alone and with the money, don't harm her..."
"Hurry."
The phone disconnected, Stephan could detect that the person who called was in need of money urgently and those kind of people were very dangerous.
"This location is near the sea side, if the person is smart they will have a speedboat close by." Matteo explained. "You will go in and hand the ransom as the lady thinks I am you, you try to stall while we round up on her."
Stephan nodded but Matteo wasn't sure he was listening hopefully this egoistic man wont go and ruin his plans, he wanted to keep the lady alive so he could trace who sent them to kidnap Dawn in the first place. 5 hours later...
The drive to the location nearly took forever and during the long drive Matteo and Stephan had remained quiet during the drive. When they were almost there, Stephan came down with a bag containing the money and strolled down to the deserted beach.
They didn't know if the lady brought in more men with her, they had to be careful and vigilant. While Stephan was trying to figure out the location, Matteo and the other cars that followed them circled the area.
Just as Matteo had guessed when Stephan got to the beach, there was a speed boat with two people on mask waiting, Stephan could tell one was a woman even thou she tried to hide her breast, he had female securities as well so he could tell.
The man pointed his rifle at him and signalled him to stop walking when he was almost close to them.
"Guess you weren't joking Red, when you said Stephan Klar would bring it himself." Scar had been instructed to throw Dawn over the bridge but the pay he was getting was so small he wasn't sure he could cover all his debt, when Red had informed him she had a better plan that would get them more money his ears had widen at the sound of more money.
His boss thought he and Red had already thrown Dawn into some water right now but they were here, there plans was to collect money from Stephan and go back to their boss to collect their pay as well. It was a win win for him. Stephan stared at them examining the environment, he couldn't find Dawn anywhere, where was she?
"Keep them talking, we can't yet trace her." He heard Matteo's voice on his one ear headphone.
"Where is she?" Stephan barked.
"Where is the money?" Red asked, she had been able to convince Scar to agree with her plans because she knew she couldn't do it alone. She didn't know how dangerous Stephan could be and she didn't trust that he was here alone. "Here it is," Stephan yelled throwing it half way.
"Kneel down," Red shouted.
Stephan looked at her gritting his teeth, who was this bitch ordering around?

"She is in the boat." He heard Matteo voice again.
"Are you deaf? Get on your fucking kneel." Red barked again as a bullet fired between her eyes in an instant, she fell to the ground. Stephan had shot her without missing his shot.
"What the fuck Stephan?" He heard Matteo yell as Scar panicked, he entered the speed boat, bullets fired from Stephan and from his men who were already coming out of their hiding at him continuously.
Scar bent down and tried his best to maneuver the engines as the boat started to move, but it didn't make it far when a bullet found his right shoulder and his leg, he lost control and fell on the ground shouting in pain.
Matteo aimed for the speed boat engine as well as his men and Stephan didn't know the time he pulled his jacket, entered the water and started swimming towards the direction of the speed boat, some of his men were baffled by the sight of it. There boss always sent them on errands but today he had been quiet and even jumped into the water without needing their service.
They jumped along with him swimming to the speed boat that had already stopped, sounds of Scar groaning could be heard as Stephan got to the speed boat and got in.
He looked around and then he saw her, she was a mess, she looked lifeless lying there in the back of the boat, her lips had a little cut on the side, and sign of dry blood that had drooled on the side of her mouth was still there, her hair looked dirty and unkept and one of her eyes was red and swollen than the other, the more he looked at her the more he got angry.
He turned around towards Scar direction and walked up to him, he used his leg to pin one of his hand by pressing on the wrist with his foot, he leaned in and pulled off his mask to see his face more clearly, he fired three times in his hand afterwards and Scar screamed in pain.
"Stephan," Matteo pleaded. He had finally caught up with Stephan and got in the boat. As much as he wanted to kill this idiot he needed to know who sent them, afterwards Stephan could butcher him like a goat.
"Who sent you?" Stephan asked already knowing what Matteo was driving at but Scar was in so much pain, he couldn't think straight. Stephan removed his foot and instead pressed it on the shoulder where one of his men had shoot. "Stephan, let me handle it. Get Dawn out of here. She doesn't look good."

"For the love of God just listen to me.. she might be dying."

"She is going to be fine." The doctor explained in her office as she and Stephan sat down.
"How bad is she?" Stephan asked, he had brought her to one of the best hospital in town, if he could he would fly her out, but he knew that did be stupid as she looked lifeless, he wasn't a doctor but he knew she wasn't okay, the sight of her was like from a horror film.
"I won't lie to you, she is really bad but I can reassure you that I won't let any harm befall her." The doctor said. "I will make sure we give her nothing but the best treatment."
"Sarah, I am trusting you on this one." Stephan hadn't been allowed to see her since he brought her to the hospital, she was to undergo surgery to remove a bullet in her chest. She was a lucky girl.
"She will be fine, you just have to be patient and stop going around threatening my workers." Sarah knew Dawn was Olivia's sister, she had thought Stephan had a thing for Olivia but it turned out he had a thing for Dawn instead. She didn't care who he choosed as long as he was happy, Stephan and Matteo parents were friends of her parents and over the years they had grown up together and even attended the same schools.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Sarah took him as an elder brother that she never had and they took her as a sister in return. Even thou Stephan had a annoying and ruthless way of doing things, he cared about her and that was why when Olivia had come to talk to her to beg Stephan to be with her. Sarah had told her she could only talk but she could never force Stephan to go against his will. "Tell them to do their works and I won't need to blow anyone's brains out."
"Don't do anything stupid, after her surgery I will just have her transfered to your house and she will be treated from there."
"That would be better." Stephan preferred that, he still hadn't gotten a call from Matteo on who sent them since he left the beach with Dawn. He didn't feel she was safe here and he got easily irritated when any of the nurse or doctor started acting up.
"For the main time behave yourself... Please." Sarah pleaded.
