Chapter 59

"You will not be calling for anyone." The man grabbed the walkie talkie from her and threw it to the ground. She didn't move, the only thing she did was stand there.

"This guy must have one, too." Another guy said, pointing a gun at Adam's head.

"Do you?!" The man standing in the doorway said.

"Mine is in the shop."

"Search him!" The man in the doorway said.

Adam was searched and the walkie talkie was found.

"Is this really necessary?"

"Your guns, too."

"No." Kim said.

"You will hand me your gun and your backup gun. If you don't, I'll kill you and your little boyfriend."

"Put your gun down before we arrest you."

"For what?"

"I can arrest you for weapons trafficking, holding police officers hostage, do I need to go on?"

"Get in there!" He grabbed her by the arm and threw her into the cement floor.

"Don't touch her!" Adam launched at him, knocking the gun out of his hand. He was fighting with him for it.

"Did you not see my friend with the gun behind you?"

"I can just as easily turn around and shoot him."

"He has a gun."

"I snatched it from him when he was trying to grab yours."

Another man came up, wielding an AK47 in hand. He pointed it at Adam. "You are to give those guns back or your pretty lady is going to be shot."

"I'm good, actually! I've been shot three times!" Kim waved from the inside.

"One more time won't hurt." A voice from inside said.

"I know that voice..." She said, her eyes going wide.

"That's right." Pulpo said, coming out of the shadows.

"How did you get out of jail?!"

"Mi esposa pulled some strings."

"You think you're not going to be found out?"

"That doesn't bother me."

"I ended up in a coma because you beat me so bad! FIVE YEARS. I missed my children as babies and as toddlers."

"You have children now?"

"What do you care?"

"Are their names Hannah and Brayden?"

"How do you know that?!"

"The elementary school doesn't keep their records very confidential."

"You are SICK."

"I enjoy that."

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!"

"I want you dead."

"You're not man enough to kill me."

He got closer and held a gun to her forehead.

"You do not tangle with me, do you understand?"

"If you thought I hated you before, you don't know what you're in for now."

"I'm not even close to being done with you."

"What do you think you're going to get out of this?!"

He whacked her in the side of the head with his gun, the force making her fall to the floor. She lifted her hand up to the side that was struck. When she removed her hand, it was covered in blood. Adam tried running in, but was thrown against the floor and his hands were tied behind his back. She ran over and threw her arms around him.

"Are you okay?"

"Don't worry about me."

She leaned her head on his shoulder and he leaned over to kiss her.

"Cut the lovey dovey crap before I kill both of you." Pulpo said in disgust, rolling his eyes.

"Let us go and we won't say anything."

"Do you honestly think I'm going to fall for your tricks?"

"You've kidnapped Diego, you've shot Antonio and you beat me to death. Karma is going to get you one day."

"That day will never come."

"You think that, huh?"

"I know it won't. I hate CPD and they need to pay."

"You think killing two detectives will get you what you want?"

"I don't like that attitude of yours."

"I don't really care."

He had one of his guys hit her across the face with a crowbar. She was thrown to the floor, blood pouring from her mouth. Adam ripped part of his shirt off and handed it to her.

"If you EVER hit her like that again, that will be the last thing you ever do!"

"Can you just stop talking?" Pulpo rolled his eyes once more.

"You have no reason to hold us hostage."

"CPD owes me a great debt."

"What do you think we owe you?"

"Two million dollars."

"Why would we owe you that?!"

"You two of all people should know why."

"We don't and we don't care. Let us go!"

"I don't think so."

"No one has that kind of money!"

"Voight does. He has at least fifty million stashed in his basement."

"I think you need to go back to prison where you belong."

"Mi esposa would just pay my debt again. She loves me. I love her and our child."

"How do you think your son would feel to see you doing this?!"

"He'd be proud of his papi."

"I have a son, a couple years younger than yours. Don't leave him without his mommy. Your son needs his, don't deprive him of that."

Pulpo turned around and started walking away. Adam had cut the rope and had the pocket knife in hand. He went after Pulpo, stabbing him in the back.

"Adam watch out!" Kim screamed.

A gunshot was heard.
