The Hooded One

Episode 18

“I can’t just tell them, they are not backing away without prof.” Ryan said again, this time slowly as if he was speaking to a child.

“What about the bar we were at, any footage?” I ask running out of options.

“Nothing, the owner is a gang leader remember, if something was to happen he doesn’t want the police finding any footage and never leave him at peace.” Ryan said sounding exhausted.

“Is there no option at all.” I ask desperately.

“No, I asked Tyler he said he was in his room but when we went to check the warehouse footages they were deleted, Jack said it was a problem with the new security system.” Ryan said, I maybe shouldn’t have told Jack to delete the footages from that night.

“Damn it, what about umm, well, maybe someone saw him!” I said now worrying.

“No, they want physical prof Sofia.” Ryan reminded me again.

“If we don’t find something soon, Tyler better find the guns from whoever stole them and is trying to set him up.” Ryan’s voice was sounding extremely exhausted.

“Ryan maybe I.. maybe I... i think I have prof... can you please come over.” I have no clue on how I’m going to tell him, but I do know I don’t want my child growing without a father.

“Yes sure, I’ll be over in like 10 mins or something.” Ryan mumbled then I hung up.

I have ten minutes to figure out how to tell the man who has been like a father to me I’m pregnant...

There’s too many ways on how this can go wrong.

Maybe I don’t tell Ryan because then Ryan is going to kill Tyler himself.

15 minutes later.

Ryan still hadn’t arrived so I was sitting in the kitchen with an ultrasound and a page on how far along I am, which also has the estimated date the baby was conceived.

I was so concerned on the things in front of me I didn’t realise that Ryan had arrived and sat opposite me.

“Who did he get pregnant.”

“Damn kids.”

“Has he not heard of protecti-“ 

Ryan had the ultrasound sound in hand looking at it rambling random s**t when realisation hit him that or he saw my name on the corner.

“Sofia I don’t know what your playing at but I don’t think this is funny.” Ryan said seriously.

I couldn’t look at his face so all I did so was look down at my hands as if they were the most interesting thing I had ever seen.

“That little s**t got you pregnant.” Ryan said getting up from his seat, sounding very i mean very annoyed.

“You let that little s**t get you pregnant.” Ryan said, the only emotion on his face was disappointment.

I just nodded at everything he was saying, he had soon picked up the ultrasound sound and ran out of the apartment.

I was about to go after him when I remember Olly was in bed.

I went to Olly’s room picked him up slowly so he wouldn’t awaken and also left the apartment, i put Olly in the car and drove to the most possible place Ryan could have went to, the warehouse, were Tyler is...

I’m so f****d!

In any other situation I would have one took my bike and too drove a lot faster but I can’t risk Olly or my little girl, and myself because if Ryan kills Tyler and something were to happen to me on the round this little baby would also be left parentless.

I got to the warehouse picked up Olly and took him to my office, i laid him down on the bed of the room attached to my office and then ran out to find Ryan and stop him from telling Tyler.

When I finally found Ryan, I also found Tyler, Tyler had a busted lip and a very red turning purple eye, he looked to be in ultra shook, I also noticed the ultrasound in his hands.

“Your pregnant.” Tyler said.

“No s**t Sherlock.” Ryan mumbled.

“You got pregnant.” Tyler repeated.

“Why else would I have beat the s**t out of you kid.” Ryan said absolutely not amused with the situation at all.

I just stood there, helplessly, what could I say, i hadn’t thought of anything, I hadn’t even planned on telling him so why would I have thought on what to tell him if I did.

At the worst time ever Lee, the single father to the little boy walked in to the room with his little boy in arms, the kid hadn’t grown much more he was still as tiny.

“Sorry I can’t seem to find the little crier over here’s dummy.” Lee said, walking around for a bit not finding it saying sorry and walking out again.

“We’re gonna have on of those.” Tyler said again, it really seems like he can’t take it in.

Ryan walked out clearly sick of the situation leaving me and Tyler just staring at each other.

I couldn’t take looking into his eyes anymore, they were ever so slowly eating me up so I looked down.

I had not realised he had gotten so close until I felt his arms around me once again, his chin was resting on my head, we just stood there quietly until I felt him using his finger to lift up my head so I could look at him, I saw the tears in his eyes and when he kissed me I felt them running down his cheeks, making our kiss salty.

“We are going to have a little baby.” He said before kissing me again.

This is not how I expected this to go...
