Chapter Seventeen

She was a little shocked at the way I spoke to her, but nods her head leading us over to the kitchen to sit at the table. I didn't know where that side of me even came from back there, but admittedly I enjoyed it which was shocking. Luisa and Peter sat at one side of the table, while me and Brandon sat across from them on the other. "Let's just get on with this shall we, is it correct that you and Ricard were mates?" I ask just cutting to the chase immediately, I knew we weren't welcome here and didn't feel the need to have another heated discussion. "Yes, Richard was my first mate, but he rejected me after I gave birth to Lukas" she says which was the theory that we were running with, Brandon pulls his laptop out and loads this weird programme up. As I take a look, Morgan's name pops up and says online, was he giving Morgan and step by step rundown? "Are you aware of the reasoning behind him rejecting you after you gave birth?" I ask looking away from the laptop, but hear Brandon typing away on said laptop beside me, it's like he's keeping minutes. "He told me with the life he lives, he wouldn't be able to handle having a baby and thought the best thing to do, was to reject me" she explains which did make sense, but a question soon pops into my mind. "Why didn't he say that when you found out you were pregnant?" I ask raising an eyebrow at her, she just sighs looking down at her hands. "I didn't tell him until I physically couldn't hide it anymore, I thought if I could force him into being a father it would change him. He wasn't happy but stuck with me throughout the rest of the pregnancy and was there at Lukas's birth" she explains which does make me give her a look, forcing the guy into something as big as having a child is not a morally good thing "I know what you're thinking, but you've only seen the bad side of Richard, when he didn't have to put an act on he was the most amazing person I've ever met, I thought when he became a dad he would see that he could change" she says trying to justify her actions, but she still wasn't getting the point that what she did was so wrong on so many different levels. "Could that be the reason why he's now after Lukas, as he didn't want him?" I ask which if this was true, we had found the real reason behind him setting his sights on Lukas, that was the one thing we couldn't figure out. "No, when Lukas was born he loved him so much which is why he said he left, he didn't want to bring his son into the life he was living" she explains but that didn't make sense to me, if he loves him so much why is he sending him threats right now? "So can you think of any other reason that would make Richard want to attack him, if he loved him so much as like you claim, there would have had to be something that would have broke the camel's back?" I ask getting rather ticked off if I'm being honest, she was just claiming how much of a nice guy Richard is, when in reality he is one of the evilest people I've ever met, Luisa goes to shake her head but Peter steps in. "A few years ago he actually turned up, he was demanding that he see Lukas and threatened to attack the whole pack if he didn't see him" Peter says which was definitely new news, Luisa looked kind of pissed that he was telling us this "Lukas didn't know that I wasn't his birth father at that point, I definitely wasn't going to allow him to find out in a manner like that" Peter continues while Luisa begins to tap him on the shoulder, she doesn't want us to know about any of this. "Did he see Lukas?" I ask looking between them, Luisa once again went to speak but Peter cuts in before she could. "We're telling them what happened Luisa, this isn't about you but Lukas" Peter snaps at her shutting her up immediately, I'm glad he didn't because my approach wouldn't have been so nice "he attempted to manipulate Luisa, telling her if she let him see his son that he and her would run away with each other, but we all know with the type of man he is-" Peter starts to say but is cut off by Luisa, who rises from her chair so fast it fell on the floor behind her. "You don't know him! You people are just going off stories you've heard, you don't know the real him!"She screams throwing said chair across the room, woah someone has a screw loose! She leaves the table and runs to the kitchen, my training comes into play as I rise from my chair making sure my weapon was easy to access. I could see the fright on Brandon's face as she emerges from the kitchen, carving knife in hand. "You people need to leave my house!" She screams pointing the knife in mine and Brandon's direction, Brandon springs into action standing up just behind me, but you could just tell by the way he stood he was nervous. "Get over him Luisa! He didn't want you as much as you wanted him! Now you have to look after your son and stop being so selfish!" Peter shouts standing in front of her to take the knife, but before he could grasp it she plummets the knife into his chest. He cries out in pain dropping to the floor, revealing a crazy looking Luisa standing there, the knife in her hand dripping blood onto the floor. I whip my gun out pointing it in her direction, Brandon taking a few seconds to do the same. "Drop the knife!" I shout taking slow and cautious steps towards Peter, he was rolling around the floor in pain, blood seeping out of his top and smearing around the kitchen floor. "You people need to get out, Ricard didn't want it to go like this!" She screams as I pass the table and manage to stand right in front of Peter, but I couldn't turn my back on the crazy lady that was waving the knife around. "We can't do that Luisa, we need to help Peter" I say talking in a calm voice, we need her to cooperate and drop the knife before force gets used. Peter turns looking at me, I could see the pain and fright in how eyes. I lower my gun knelling down to pull him away, within a second of my eyes moving from the woman, two gun shots go off behind me. Not even another second went by, before she drops to the floor motionless. I use this time to put pressure on Peter's wound while also moving the knife away from Luisa, I throw the knife to the side a clanking noise filling the room. As I take a look back at Brandon, he just stood frozen in place, the colour fully drained from his face. "Go and get help!" I shout running back over to Peter, thankfully he was still conscious but in so much pain "Brandon! Go get help!" I shout again once I see he still hadn't moved from the spot, this breaks him out of his trance where he runs over to where his computer is and pulls his phone out. "We need urgent assistance!" He says basically shouting down the phone, while I grab more kitchen towels to put as much pressure on the wound as I could "we need medics here urgently!" He screams so loud that he could probably wake the dead, he had never been put in a situation like this before. "T-Taylor" Peter manages to stay through the pain, I move closer to his head so that he could clearly see me "there's s-so much I need to tell you, please don't let me die" he pleads which just breaks my heart, I move one of my hands to hold his while the other keeps the pressure on the wound. "You're not gonna die Peter, just keep talking to me and it's all gonna be okay" I say giving his hand a squeeze as I went, the door soon bursts open with the guard from the border and a bunch of alliance agents, we don't play around when someone puts out an urgent call. "We have one male with a stab wound to the chest, I haven't checked the woman for a pulse yet but I presume she's gone, Brandon had to shoot before she attacked me" I inform the agents who immediately, run to Peter's side while the others check Luisa "see Peter, you're gonna be okay" I smile as the medic starts to pull things out of the bag. Well this encounter went differently to how I expected!
