Chapter 6 Chapter 6

Luca's POV

"Alpha, I've screwed up big time," I said to Leo after he finally picked up his phone.

I was in the process of dragging the man that had been pointing his gun at me to my car by the scruff of his collar. The more he resisted the more time he was wasting and the further away that white van was getting. This could be Ella's life in danger and I wasn't messing around.

"Get in my fucking car," I growled at him, pausing to hold the gun to his head.

After that, he went easily.

"Who are you talking to? Are you with Ella?" Leo asked.

"That's the thing," I said opening the door to the passenger seat of my car and bundling the man in. "I was but now I'm not. Someone's taking her."

"Someone?" he asked. "Where are you?"

"It's where we were," I told him as I got into the driver's seat and immediately started the engine and began driving the same direction as the white van did.

"For God's sake, Luca. Just spit it out. Who has taken my mate!?" he growled.

"Andrea Martinez," I said, uttering the name of the man otherwise known as 'the boss'.

There was a pause on Leo's end of the line for over five seconds.

"How the fuck did Andrea Martinez get a hold on my mate?" he said slowly and deeply.

"I had to collect this month's shipment and things went tits up from then on," I said. "You don't want the details. What's important is that Ella is in danger."

"Correct me if I'm wrong Luca but didn't I tell you not to even mention a word of what you do in Mexico to her? And then you take her with you?!" he replied.

"Yes, I know. I am sorry and you can kill me later but for now, can we just focus on getting her back?" I asked. 

He didn't say anything which I took as a yes.

"I've captured one of the men that ambushed us but apart from that nothing. All he has told me is that they are taking her to Martinez but I have no idea where he is based or where to even begin looking."

"Then get the information out of him," Leo growled. 

"He doesn't speak English and my Spanish is limited to say the very least," I replied.

"Put me on speaker," he ordered.

Leo proceeded to speak to the man in Spanish. Not only did he sound perfectly fluent but as he spoke, the man became more and more sweaty and anxious.

It wasn't long until he was replying to everything Leo asked immediately without any sort of reluctance.

"Drive to Mexico and find a man named Pedro Hernandez. He's Martinez's driver and the only one other than himself that knows where he is located. I'll meet you there and that man with you can tell you nothing more. He's just a pawn," Leo told me before hanging up.

I brought the car to a halt and leant over the poor guy to open the door. I then ushered him out and drove away leaving him on the side of the road in a hot, quivering mess with nothing more than an adios. I could have taken my anger out on him but as Leo said, he's just a pawn and seemed to have got what he deserved from just having to face speaking to Alpha Loren himself.
