Some Games Are Too Dangerous To Play

Kalani woke up that next morning; feeling determine to uncover all this once and for all. She was tired of feeling helpless, and like the prey being stalked by a vicious predator. “Today I will become the lion.” She thought to herself. She rolled over and to her dissatisfaction Marcos was not there. On the nightstand was a note that said, “Went to see if I can get some answers about the a**** that took you with dad at city hall. Do not leave the penthouse there are bodyguards outside, and Ashton should be there to sit with you at 11. Te amo princesa! I will be home by 5.-Marco.” Kalani sighed and said to herself, “I don’t even have clothes here.” She got up and went to the dresser and pulled out one of Marcos’ shirts and boxers. “Guess no undies type of day.” She thought while laughing. She went into Marcos’ giant bathroom and took a nice hot shower.

“KAAALLLAAAANNNNIIIII! ARE YOUUUU ALIVEEEE IN THERE?!” Kalani heard someone ask on the other side of the door. She already knew it was Ashton. “No stupid, I’m speaking to you from beyond the grave.” She said to him while rolling her eyes and putting shampoo in her hair. “Oh noooo. Guess I’ll have to tell Marcos’ I want a raging party for my honor when he murders me.” He said through the door. “Oh my god Ashton go away before I murder you.” Laughed Kalani. “OK ma’am I will be in the living room. Hurry I am bored.” Ashton replied before walking into the living room.

Kalani finished her shower just as her phone started going off. The name Alex came up on the screen. She answered the call, “Hello? Alex?”

“Hey Kalani I just wanted to make sure you were okay after last night. Your boyfriend was kinda of crazy huh?” “I wanted to see if you were still up to coming making your official statement later?”

“Oh yeah at like 7? Would that work for you, or do you need me to come earlier?”

“Nope 7 is actually perfect for me. So, was everything okay last night?” He voiced had a hint of jealousy that Kalani did not noticed.

“Oh yeah I’m at his penthouse now. I am fine, actually I wanted to apologize for him last night. Marcos has that hot head temper, and his jealousy has always been crazy.”

“Will he be with you tonight?”

“I’m not sure, would you mind if he does? He won’t let me go anywhere without him or Ashton or the bodyguards.”

“I do not mind.” Alex lied to her he minded terribly. He needed to see her without the jealous ape size man, but he also did not like the idea of her going around on her own especially after those text messages.

“Great I will see you tonight Alex, thanks so much. Bye!”

“Take care and I will see you later.” Alex said as he hung up.

Kalani finished dressing and wrapped her hair up in a towel as she walked into the living room. “Oh my god it’s a toad!” She jokingly said to Ashton. “Oh yeah baby I’m a frog kiss me and see me turn into a prince.” He laughed back. “Kiss me and I’ll watch Marcos turn you into a corpse.”

They spent an hour talking about silly stuff. Ashton and she were close but after Ashleigh’s death they drifted apart, it was to hard for both of them.

“Mom wants to know when you’re coming over to say hi.” Ashton said. Kalani sighed, “I want to so bad, but I can’t step foot in there I still miss Ashleigh it’s to hard.” Ashton looked down and sadly said, “I miss her too. She was my twin my other half of my soul in a non-flower in the attic type of way.” “I know Ashton.” “Kalani, I need to ask you something.” “Sure, go ahead.” “Who is sir?” Kalani gasped and choked on air. “How do you know that name?” “Ashleigh had it written in a journal about someone name sir stalking her. I read the journal and she said she told you secrets that she couldn’t even write about.” “Ashton, I didn’t know she knew of sir before I was taken, but that was what the man who would come and force himself on me made me call him.” Kalani at this point had tears in her eyes. “Ashton can I have this journal please?” “Of course just keep it safe. I’m still trying to figure out what happened to her. I need to know.” Kalani only nodded as Ashton gave her the journal. “Don’t let anyone see it trust no one.” Ashton finally said.

Kalani found an old box and put it in a duct to keep it safe, she would read it when Marcos wasn’t here, but it was 4:45 pm and she did not want to risk it. Ashton and Kalani put on a movie and at 5:30 Marcos walked in with sunflowers and roses. He walked towards Kalani but Ashton stepped in the way.

“Oh Marcos you shouldn’t have, what will the town say? That I give it up so easily for flowers, no next time a diamond ring or bust senor carrots.” Ashton jokingly said acting like he was going to hug Marcos and kiss him on the cheek.

Marcos pushed Ashton off. “Bro! Get off. We all know I wouldn’t need flowers for you to give it up.” Marcos said laughing. He handed the flowers to Kalani, “Hello beautiful.” He sat down next to her put his arm over her shoulder, and kissed her lips. “Hey you handsome.” Kalani said to Marcos. “So Alex called me.” “Uhm who?” “Alex the police officer.” Marcos rolled his eyes and said, “Why in the h*** is he calling you for?” “He wanted to see if I can come in for my official statement and to see if I was okay after your jealous insanity.” “Did you tell him I made sure you were okay ALLLLLLLLL night long? I think he might have heard you from whatever shack he lives in.” Marcos said cockily. “I told him I will be in at 7 to do my statement, so I need to go home for clothes and head over there. I will call you when I get back.” Kalani stood up to leave. Marcos grabbed her hand and pulled her on his lap. “I think not ma’am where you are I am or someone I trust. You are not to leave my eyesight.” “Oh so I should go in your boxers and t-shirt then?” “Maybe that will show that PIG that you are mine and only mine.” “I have no underwear on Marcos you want me to go like THAT?”

Ashton cleared his throat, “Wellllllllll on that note of if Kalani is wearing undies, it’s time for me to get going. I will see yall later.” He walked towards the door. “Kalani keep it safe.” She nodded at his request; Marcos completely unaware of what it was. Ashton left and Marcos said, “So tell me more about this no underwear situation.”

Kalani rolled her eyes and laughed, “Don’t be gross.” “Mija, I ordered clothes to be put in the closet for you and you have new underwear too if only you looked.” “Well, why in the f*** didn’t you tell me?” “I meant to but I was busy with dad at the city hall and then I gotta admit you look sexy in my clothes.” “Well, I am going to change so we can go to the police station or do you gotta go into the room to make sure I’m okay?” “Well obviously I do make sure you change REALLLLLL slow so I can make sure the clothes aren’t going to hurt you.” “Piggy dog.” Kalani laughed and took off running to the room. “Oink, oink, woof.” Marcos said running after her.

As Kalani changed into a simple sundress and brushed out her hair she asked Marcos, “So did you get any clues on my kidnapping from your dad?” “Well, when I asked if they might have any old camera footage for the cops they told me, that they discovered when the cops asked for it that it was deleted.” “How weird is that?” “Only my dad, Ashton’s dad and the head of security can do that, but of course when I asked dear old dad, he was clueless. It’s like any time I mention you or Ashleigh he acts like he has no brain cells.” “But why would your dad have anything to do with my kidnapping?” “I don’t think he does but at this point to protect you I won’t put anything past anyone.” “We can talk about it after we get back. Come on nina.”

They got to the police station at 6:45 pm. “Hello I’m here to see officer Alex.” Kalani said to the officer that was at the information desk. “Great, he will be out in a few minutes. Go ahead and sit there please.” She said back. Suddenly, there was like an outburst of craziness everyone’s radios starting going off. “Officer has been shot. I need a bus.” Phone calls started going out for an ambulance. “What is happening Marcos asked the front desk officer. “One of our officers have been shot please go sit down so the ambulance can come.” Finally, after about 15 minutes Alex came out to Kalani and Marcos as white as a ghost with blood all over his shirt. Kalani ran to him and asked, “Alex are you okay what happened?” “So-some-someone shot Nick. We were coming back in, and I-I-I heard a shot I turned around and there was Nick.”  Kalani was holding Alex up at this point. “I’m sorry Kalani I can’t do your statement today. I have to go to the hospital.” “Go, we will do this another time. Do you need us to take you?” “N-n-no Nick’s wife is giving me a ride.” Kalani’s heart broke for Alex as he walked away and then her phone got a text. “We can keep playing if you want but remember my little flower some games are too dangerous to play.” Then, came in a picture of her and Marcos from behind at the police station. Someone is watching their every move.
