for not being able to read the warnings…” His voice trails off in deep annoyance, with a frown. “But you got her run over, for fucks sake, what the fuck was that meant to do?”
He kicks him heavily in the groin.
“Alex” Screams Jacquie, who has just run in to see what is happening.
“Jacquie, get out of here.” Says Alex urgently.
Rob is trying to get up from the floor, groaning slightly. Mick helps him up. He shoots Alex a what-the-fuck glance but decides not to say anything.
“I don’t know what you’re on about Alex. He’s gone totally mad!” He shouts, his eyes wide and appealing to Eric one of the security guards.
“Alex” Pleads Jacquie, trying not to look at Rob and the pool of blood, trying hard not to be sick.
“Those guys you rang, to try and get me to fight. The ones you found out I owed money to. What did you think was going to happen? They weren’t exactly going to come around and tickle me to death ....”
“I... I what?” said Rob, staggering to his feet.
“Never mind, just tell me where they’ve taken her” He snaps.
There’s a loud bang. Bits of plaster and paint come spilling down. Everyone in the room ducks for cover. Alex has fired the gun into the ceiling, out of pure frustration.
Jacquie immediately runs out the room and starts making loud retching noises. Rob looks as if he may wet himself.
“Jesus, Rob, I know you’re not the brightest, but where did you tell them to take Eliana”
“Take Eliana, I never told them to take anyone. They were meant to put the frighteners on you” He finally splutters.
“Guess what it worked.” Snarls Alex, coming over to him, still holding the gun, this time, trained on his head. “If you don’t know where she is, then here’s an idea, try fucking asking, ring ... Go on…”
He chucks Rob his cell phone.
“I didn’t know they were going to hurt Eliana I swear.” Sobs Rob, as he holds the phone and dials.
On the bar counter, just outside the office room, my cell phone buzzes. Jacquie rushes in holding it. It cuts to voicemail.
“Ring them. Jesus, Rob, not her”. Alex says acidly. .
“I don’t have any numbers for them,” says Rob. Alex stares at him wildly.
“I don’t believe this.”
The door to the office opens again.
“Hey did you miss me?”
I stagger in, frozen to the bone. I have walked the fifteen minutes across town in only a jumper and work shoes with three inches of snow out there. Pools of icy slush appear around my feet.
Everyone stares at me. I more or less collapse on the office chair exhausted. Then I notice Rob’s bleeding and Alex has a gun.
“Are you alright Eliana?” asks Alex, coming over to me. He touches me lightly on the shoulder.
“I.. I think so. I was in a car boot. I don’t know what’s going on, but I think someone is after Rob for some reason.”
I stare down at his bloodied face.
“Yeah,” Says Alex grimly. “Me.”
I gaze up into his face. It is hard and cold and I feel almost like I don’t know this Alex, the one that waves guns around.
With a gesture of his hands, he waves away Mick, Eric, and the others, until it is just me, him and Rob alone in the windowless office.
“I... I don’t understand,” I say.
“It’s pretty straightforward,” Says Alex slowly. “Rob set you up in order for me to be scared of fighting, I guess it made him a lot of money or gives him a thrill, I don’t really care which.”
Rob opens his mouth to try and disagree, but sees Alex pointing the gun at him and thinks the better of it.
“And so now I am going to kill him”
He loads the gun and brings it closer to Rob’s temple.
“Alex, I had no idea they would hurt Eliana, I love her” Pleads Rob.
Both of us eye him with disdain.
“Love” scoffs Alex “Really?”
“Please Alex, don’t do this,” I say, suddenly terrified he actually will blow Rob’s brains across the small claustrophobic office, giving Jacquie yet another reason to vomit.
“Give me
