The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 103Ysabel’s point of view“Ruby, you're scaring me”, I say, and she replies,“Ysabel, run, sweetie, as fast as you can. Everything will be okay.”She takes my hand as she pulls me away from the paths, and over the grass, I can see people following us…I’m scared. Ruby picks me up as she runs towards some bushes and looks around before pointing to a gap in the fence and she squeezes my hand as she says,“You have to be brave, sweetheart; run as fast as you can and don't look back. The police station is just outside the park gates. Find a policeman or woman and ask them to call Swift security for you; Maddox will come for you, okay.”I nod my head as the tears run down my face, I do not want to leave Ruby, but she's making me scared,“I don't want to leave you.” I say, and she smiles back at me, “You have to do this, baby, Maddox will find me, but you have to get some help and get away from these men.”It's my father's family; it has to; she said

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 104Ysabel’s point of viewI carry Ysabel to her room, gently putting her in the bed before kissing her on her forehead and making my way to the office; Jake is already at his desk when I walk in; he looks up at me as I say.“Has there been any news?”He shakes his head and replies, “No, I’m sorry, Maddox, nothing yet. Laila and Adam are on their way home along with John and a policewoman who's been dealing with Mrs King and her sons.”I flop down in the chair opposite him as I say, “I feel so fucking useless just sitting here.”Jake nods, “Believe me, Maddox. I know what you're going through it, but I need you here. We have the best teams looking for her, and Ruby’s strong Maddox, she will get through this.He stands up and places a hand on my shoulder as I reply, “Yeah, she is…I swear, Jake, if they touch her, I’ll fucking kill the lot of them.”“And I’ll be right by your side, brother”, he replies.Ruby’s point of view.My head hurts so much

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 105Maddox’s point of viewIt's been 48 hours, and we still haven't found Ruby; I've got to admit I'm getting scared now; I’m afraid for Ruby and also for Ysabel, she's been so quiet these past two days, and I know that she blames herself for what happened. I've tried to reassure her, but it makes no difference. It kills me to watch a five-year-old girl with this on her conscious. My heart breaks for her. I know the team will find Ruby, but I pray that were not too late. I’ve seen first-hand the destruction that this family can cause.Laila and Adam flew home as soon as they heard the news about Ruby. It’s good to have my little sis back home and on my side through this; Adam’s brother John also came back along with the lead police officer and detective who have been dealing with the case in England, There's a knock on the door, and I look up as Laila walks in, “Hey bro, how are you holding up?”“I feel so useless…So numb…” I reply,“I know, M

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 106Ruby’s point of viewOnce again, I find myself alone in this cold, dark and damp cellar. I spend all my time tied to this chair. My only relief is a few hours at night when I’m left an old mattress to sleep on with my hands tied to some pipes, Or when I’m taken to the toilet without any privacy.I have no idea how long I have been held here; I haven't eaten anything either, not that I’m hungry. I am forced to take a few sips of water every now and then, and I can feel my energy levels slipping away.I hear footsteps coming down the steps and grit my teeth with the fear and pain of what's to come. I haven't told them a thing, and it's begging to take a severe toll on my already weakened body.I close my eyes in the hope that maybe just maybe, he will walk away; sadly, that's not about to happen as I hear him sneer, “wake up bitch.”The cold water hit my face, and I gasp before trying to force my swollen eyes open; my body and face are now se

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 107Maddox’s point of viewMaddog wants revenge! The one you've all been waiting for.Checking my watch; it's now 3.30, almost time to move. I’m nervous, which I find strange as fuck. It’s not something I’m used to being, but today, yeah, I am full of nerves, and I’m worried about what I might find.Yes, I know Ruby is strong, far stronger than she probably realises, and she has undoubtedly proved that over the last few weeks, but this time it's different because this time it's the monster himself who has her and that scares the shit out of me.Jake walks into the room, turning to look at me as he says, “Are you okay?”I nod, even though I feel anything but okay, as I reply, “Yeah, I just need to get her back, Jake.”He gives me a sad smile as he says, “I know, Bro, I know”, and he turns to face the team and asks, “Okay, guys is everyone ready?”Laila, “yeah, I’m ready”...Zane, “Let’s go and get your woman Maddog.”John grins as he says, “I’m

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 108Maddox’s point of viewWhen we get to the van, I gently lay her down as Laila and Adam jump in with us; Jake dives into the driver seat; I look at her lifeless body and whisper,“Don't leave me, baby. You can't leave me.”Laila shouts to Jake, “We have to go now. Her blood pressure is dropping, and her heart is slowing.”Jake floors it as we pull away from the building in a cloud of dust; Adam looks at me as he says, “I’m worried she may have some internal bleeding;” the ride to the hospital only takes a couple of minutes, a couple of minutes that seem to last a lifetime as Adam and Laila try to plug the wound that still pours blood. We pull up at the hospital, Jake opens the door, and I take off running as fast as possible with Ruby in my arms.“Help someone; please help her”, I cry out. Dr Ian turns his head to see what the commotion is. “Ruby?... What happened, Maddox?”He says as he runs towards us, “She has been stabbed, and we can'

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 109Maddox’s point of viewMy poor baby's face is so swollen I can hardly recognise her, and she's hooked up to multiple machines and wires; I stand at the door for a second willing my feet to move, as Honey says,“I know it's hard, Maddox, but I promise you, all things considered, she's doing well; all this equipment is just to make our job easier.” She then takes my arm and guides me inside before pushing me into a chair next to Rubys' bed.I reach out my hand as I say, “Can I touch her?” afraid to cause her any more pain; Honey smiles and replies, “Of course, you can, Maddox, just be careful of the wires. Try talking to her. Some people say they can remember things when they wake up. I will leave you with her; just buzz me if you need anything. I’ll be here for a while yet.”I nod, “I will, thanks, honey” She leaves the room, and I put my hand over Ruby and whisper, “I’m so sorry, baby; I should have got to you sooner.”I spend the next few

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 110Maddox’s point of viewIt takes a lot of effort to drag myself away from Ruby’s bed; if only I could split myself in two, I laugh. Nope, make that three. I have never had anyone dependent on me before, apart from Laila, but it's very rare she needs me, but now I have Ruby and Ysabel plus an extra special little bonus that I still haven't gotten my head around.Wow, I’m going to be a Daddy! Yeah, I think that will take a while to sink in.When I get to the bunker, I find Ysabel in the day room with Erin; she looks up as I open the door before throwing herself in my arms, as she says,“Maddox..your back” I scoop her into my arms, and we hold each other tight.“Where’s Ruby?” she says as I take a seat, pulling her down with me before I reply, “She’s still at the hospital, she's been injured, but they think she's going to be just fine.”Ysabel nods, “Can I go and see her, Maddox?” She asks, and I reply, “As soon as she wakes up, baby.”She turn
