Taming a Dark Heart - Ch. 11 - Unplanned Revenge

**** Another very hard and taxing chapter to write.

Normally my chapters are over 2000 words but this didn't even get there and yet it really drained me.
Its 2:30am and I really was determined to get this out by today...

I didn't proof read as much as I usually do and I apologize to any very young readers for the blood and gore. But hey, what do you expect with a mob story right? Capice? lol.

Thank-you very much to the new people who have told me I should be writing books etc. The compliments are so amazing!

I'm so tired but I hope you guys enjoy it and yup Id say 1-3 chapters left... :(

***Danny’s point of view***

"Wake up Gabriele, please wake up..." - I was whispering in a harsh tone trying to wake him.
We were back to back, our limbs tied together. I couldn’t move anything much beside my neck.
We had been brought to, what looked like a warehouse, but we were outside on the ground.
"Hey Shut up you idiot!" - I howled in pain as my foot was ground on. Mr Adams brute twisted his foot on mine, crushing it.
"You don’t talk unless we ask you something, Capice? - I refused to look him in the eye.

I had been playing around with the tie on my arm and it was a bit loose. I just had to pull on it somehow....

I heard a groan from behind me and heard Gabriele coming to.
"Go call the boss now" – one of the brutes said to the other and he went off.
Mr Adam came out soon after.

"Mr Lombardi, finally you are awake" – he walked over to us slowly and crouched in front of us.
He then went on to slap Gabriele’s face a couple of times.
This made Gabriele snap to and he growled at Mr Adam. "Adam! Get your hands off me" - I couldn’t see Gabriele because my back was to his but I could just imagine him glaring at Mr Adam as he spoke.

Mr Adam began laughing at him and stood up from his crouching position.
"Tell me where the girl is Lombardi or you may never make it out of here..." - I didn’t hear Gabriele respond and it seemed to aggravate Mr Adam.
"Tell me now Lombardi... I’m being pretty kind to you right now. You’re all comfortable on the ground there. I could have killed you by now. Just tell me where she is"
Again I didn’t hear any words come out of Gabriele’s mouth.

Mr Adam paused for a moment then swore some harsh words and I’m sure I heard some Italian in there too. Then he kicked Gabriele, Hard.
It sounded like it could have been in his side because I heard the breath leave Gabriele and he slouched onto the ground.
I stilled my hands that were still trying to break free of the rope so that they wouldn’t realize they were loose.

Then he walked over and crouched in front of me, leaning in very close, "and you weasel, if you know where she is: I’d suggest telling me so that you may just get out of here alive..."
Then he tapped my cheek hard a couple of times, stood back up and went back inside the warehouse with his guards leaving us alone.
"Are you okay Gabriele?" - I whispered over to him.
I heard him cough a couple of times then eventually he responded - "Do you have a plan Danny?"
"Well, my tie is a bit loose. I could get it undone but what could I do then?" - He hesitated to respond and then the two guards came back out and we were silent.
How were we going to get out of here alive? My mind wondered off to Kara and I wondered if she was okay.

***Kara’s point of view***

I couldn’t believe I was trusting Trey.
This is the same guy who hit on me at the club and nearly killed me.
What was I thinking?

"Ready to go Kara?" - I nodded to him as he helped me sling my backpack on my good arm.

I knew exactly what I was thinking - Gabriele. I couldn’t get the sound of the bullets being fired out of my head. But I knew he was tough. I knew he would be fine, right?

******
Trey and I drove up nearby to the warehouse that Mr Adam used to meet at.
He said he knew this was the place because of connections of his.... I didn’t try to question it.

"You know how to hold a gun right?" – I nodded again as he thrust one into my hand. I didn’t know the different types of guns but this one wasn’t very big. It sat just right in my gun. I was sure I could shoot. It couldn’t be that hard right?

"Just be quiet and follow me Kara..." - we began treading slowly to the warehouse. We crept along the wall with our guns pointed upward. My arm was really sore and I could see blood blotting the bandage.
Trey led as we slipped in through an open door on the side.
So far no one was around and it was very quiet. The warehouse was pretty big though. It looked like it was used to store cars or maybe big machinery or something like that.

I felt my heart pound as we slipped between crates and boxes scattered around.
My backpack accidentally hit a box and a couple of screws fell to the ground, echoing throughout the warehouse.
We quickly ducked from my mistake and Trey put his fingers to his lips to motion me to be quieter.
I felt slightly irritated at that because did he really think I would have done that on purpose?

No one was in sight so we continued treading, making our way deeper and deeper into the hallow building.

Then we both began hearing voices as we continued on. I couldn’t make out who it was but it wasn’t Gabriele.
A shrill scream resonated in the air. It sounded like Danny.
My heart started pumping even harder and my breathing became shallower.

***Danny’s point of view***

My foot was crushed and I knew there were a couple of broken bones in my shoe.
I refused to show pain on my face in front of these brutes.

Gabriele was still slouched behind me but conscious. He hadn’t said anything for a while now.
Then I watched as the two men came over to us, each lifting one of us and carried us inside, throwing us on the ground- hard.

I looked up to see men throwing a goldish liquid out or canisters onto everything in the room.
The walls, boxes, floors, everything.
Oh no, Gasoline? They were going to burn us alive...

Then out of nowhere I saw a streak of read. I looked harder and couldn’t believe who I was seeing.
Candice? What the hell was that bitch doing here?
She sauntered over to Gabriele and I wearing a tight red cat-suit that looked like it had replaced her own skin, making sure to avoid all the petrol around her.

"Hello boys..." - she crouched next to us with smirk on her face.
"Why don’t you tell me where that little slut is then I can make sure you get out of here?" - We both didn’t respond to her and looked down.
She moved over to Gabriele and leaned into him seductively.
She whispered to him, "You know what poonky? It was all just so easy..." – then she kissed him on the lips, and got up.

All the while I had been pulling at my ties and was free of them. No one had noticed...
Then all of a sudden we heard 3 gunshots go off and all 3 brutes fell to the ground. Blood leaked out their heads and over the gasoline on the ground.

This gave me the chance to break free. I ran over to one of the men and picked up his gun just as a door opened.
"What the fuck is happening in here..." - Mr Adam quickly ran behind a crate and many gunshots were fired as we all ducked behind the crates.

I looked as Gabriele was stuck tied up in the middle of the floor.
I watched where Mr Adam had fled and slowly hobbled closer with my gun aimed at him.

Then Trey appeared out of nowhere and ran over to Gabriele to untie him.
Mr Adam must have seen this because he aimed at them both, but he wasn’t quicker than me. I quickly raised my gun to his head.
"Put the gun down Mr Adam, now" – he dropped his gun and lifted his hands up.
"So you aren’t as dumb as you look boy..." - he had some nerve.

Then Trey and Gabriele got up and run behind a box, Gabriele holding his side where he went just as more of Mr Adams brutes ran in.
"Don’t shoot you idiots!" - Mr Adam shouted at them looking at the petrol everywhere.
"Guns down everyone" - Trey instructed all of us to drop them. Then all of a sudden someone jumped me from behind hitting me onto the ground. "That’s what you get you stupid boy..." - a fight began as the brutes ran at me attacking and I knew Trey and Gabriele had their hands full with a couple of other men.

I punched the guy in the stomach making him crumple to the ground, deflated. He was the same guy that crushed my foot and I took delight in seeing him in pain. But out of nowhere he jumped up and found strength, pinning me to the ground, helpless.
I watched as Trey and Gabriele fought but were eventually held down just like me

Then Mr Adam started laughing, for no apparent reason. A long evil sounding laugh that resonated around us all. Gabriele seemed to be angered by this and he began walked toward Mr Adam with a gun now back in his hands.

Then the office door opened again and Candice stepped out. Gabriele stopped in his tracks and looked at her, glaring.
She walked over to him, circled him twice and stopping behind him. She ran her hands over his body and he just glared at her not saying anything while we all watched. Then she pulled a gun out of her waistband and positioned it at his head.

Movement out of the corner of my eye distracted me. There was someone there.

I looked back to Gabriele’s direction and felt helpless.
Almost out of nowhere Candice slid a knife out her sleeve and positioned it at the base of his neck.
"You could have just left her alone Poonky, then I wouldn’t have to do this to you..." - she took the knife and made a small slit in his throat and we watched as the blood began to trickle.
I watched as Gabriele’s Adams apple bobbed when he swallowed.
"Let go off me Candice" - it came out as a hoarse whisper but I heard it.
"Shut-up Gabriele! After all these years all you had to do was love me, that’s all I asked for!" - She became hysterical and tears flowed down her cheeks. "You fucked with me you idiot! I didn’t want to kill you but you forced me to and now you’re going to -"as she spoke she began pressing down on the trigger. What could I do? Gabriele was in trouble..

Then there was a shot and I wanted to close my eyes. I couldn’t watch Gabriele die....
But instead Candice crumpled to the floor; Gabriele’s back was covered in blood. She screamed from pain and the wound looked like it was in her shoulder.

I looked up and felt my heart race when I saw Kara and the gun firmly held in her hands and aimed at Candice.

***I didn't mean to be so evil and cut it there! I'm just so tired!
