en voiture, je roule avec toi

Third person's pov.

Chase was there standing in the middle of the chaos, his skin crawled as the police were moving around his stuff searching. He then spot Thomas ascending upstairs and he decided to follow him.

" This is not fucking right !" He said to the detective.

" But it is Chase, we have the authority." He then opened the first room door he saw which was Chase's parent's old room that was full with dust and cob webs ." Damn when last have you been in this room?" Thomas asked upsetting Chase who slammed the door shut.

" That was my parents room .." Chased answered. Thomas then shrugged and opened the other door which belong to his sisters the closet was open and two shoes where on the ground, Chase forgot to fix that after what happened Friday with Kathy.

" Your sister's old room?" Thomas asked.

" Yes please leave it be I haven't step in this room since her death ..." Chase lied. Thomas was a man of principle and although it would've been the wise thing to do he decided to leave this room be and go to the other.

" Wow...I assume this is your room." Thomas said as he walked into the room and began to scrutinize Chase items." You have amazing taste in perfume .." he then open his closet that had his dark coloured clothes. " Seems okay, on to the other " he then walked to other room but that's where Zuri's clothes and Everything is kept.

" Isn't that enough?" Chase asked trying get him to avoid the that room.

" No.." Thomas then went to the other room and saw that it was a bit untidy, he then covered his nose from the scent of dried pee." Do you use this room as your bathroom?" He stepped in more and looked to the vanity where Zuri's hair brush, comb, hair bands and lipstick was. " What is this...did you have someone living here." He then picked up the hairbrush that had strains of Zuri's kinky curls stuck in the brush bristle .

" I had a friend staying here for a while " Chase lied.

" One of afro descent .." Thomas then took out a small baggy and put the strain of hairs in it. He then walked over to sheet covered in Zuri's urine, he frowned when he noticed a bowl of soup was thrown over on it and the glass of lemonade was thrown over on the floor. Chase then pinch himself in anger for forgetting to clean that up. " Did they recently left or something...this soup isn't even dried yet. "

" I came up here while drinking my soup and lemonade but it fell over when you ring my buzzer." Chase lied.

" You came to drink in here? How the fuck you stomach this scent while eating?" Thomas asked knowing that Chase was lying. Thomas then open the draws revealing Zuri white t shirts and sweatpants, he then picked up to small shirt and looked at Chase with an eyebrow raised.

" It belong to them as well..." Chase answered.

" So I assume it was a woman..with kinky hair just like Zuri...what a coincidence huh? " Thomas teased.

" And I don't get your point, a friend of mines was staying here because they were homeless due to their roommate kicking them out." Chase said. He was contemplating going into his room for two of his loaded pistols and finishing off all 9 of them.

" Call them." Thomas deadpanned, Chase chuckled at his words knowing that he couldn't do that.

" They're probably busy i-"

" They must can understand the situation, I mean the police need this information because quite frankly this isn't looking good for you right now. " Thomas interrupted him.

" How isn't this looking good?"Chase questioned with an eyebrow raised.

" Zuri called her fucking friend and told him that Chase Laurent had kidnapped her, that name isn't so common as you think and the first person to come up to my mind is you... the kid everyone thought killed his father, the fucking well known weird kid who decided to live by himself for years without a guardian. Then I come here in this room spelling like pee, untidy with afro hair same as Zuri in the hair bristle, fresh soup thrown on the bed like someone was in a rush and accidentally tipped it over. Female clothes that looked like they are for prisoners!"

" As you said....it's just a coincidence." Chase answered.

" I don't fucking think so..." Thomas answered, he then continue to look around the room that was very obvious someone was staying in there recently.

" Do I need to call my lawyer, I can get you fired for invasion of my privacy..." Chase said getting more angrier as Thomas eyes explored the room.

" If I were to bring these hair to the lab for DNA and ask for Zuri's friend to give me something that belong to her, are you sure they won't match?" Thomas questioned.

"I'm certain they won't match..." Chase answered. Thomas then chuckled and went downstairs to the other police men.

" Anything?" He asked them.

" No expect for the fact that they are a lot of rooms down here that are bolt shut, we tried to open them but to no avail. " One of the policemen said.

" Chase!" Thomas called out. Chase was still upstairs in his room puting two loaded pistols in his waistband, he clenched his jaw when he heard his name.

" What now?!" He asked as he walked down the stairs.

" We need the keys for those rooms that you have bolt shut." Thomas said.

" I don't have them, those room belong to my father where he did his business, he died before giving the keys for them. " Chase lied again, this is the most he ever lied in his life he thought.

" Really? Can we shoot them down." Thomas asked. Most of the doors were some special type of metal that cannot be shot or knocked down except the one that Zuri was in. He thought this would've been quick hence why he didn't hid her somewhere else.

" No..."Chase answered.

" Wait I think I got this one open !" One of the policemen yelled. " I picked the lock!"

" Don't worry any damages we will be paying for it okay?" Thomas said before he turn to go into the same room and immediately groaned as he was hit with a stench. " What's up with these stinking rooms, Chase you're fucking rich you must can hire a cleaner." Chase didn't reply as he knew what was going to happen, the other policeman walked out of the room to converse with another. Thomas then took out a small flashlight from his owb and began to shine it in the room . " Smells foul... "

Zuri heard all the noise and voices but after all that happen she knew it was better to keep silent, but she secretly was praying that they find her.

Thomas then saw the trap door and walked to open it, Chase still wasn't saying anything and instead he slowly took one of his gun out. Thomas then shine his light in the room but Zuri was hidden in the corner,she gasp quietly as she saw the light. " Zuri are you down there ?" Zuri didn't know if it was a test or not she just stand in the corner looking at the light. Thomas shined the light on the stairs leading in the room, he was about to go downstairs when he heard the cocking of a gun startling him to look towards Chase, Chase immediately put the gun behind him and gave Thomas a smile.

"Go down there... you'll find nothing ." He said.

" Do you have gun ?"Thomas asked knowing that he heard a gun cocking.

" No, it's probably one of your men. " Chase answered.

" Mmm" Thomas then shrugged and step on one of the stairs and when he was three stairs down Chase ran up to him so fast that Thomas didn't have the time to take out his gun, Chase then kicked him so hard in his back that he loses balance and ultimately he began to fall down the stairs startling Zuri, once he reach out the bottom he hit his head against the concrete knocking him out. Chase then lock the trap door and then after couple of seconds has passed gunshot began to fire. Zuri was now breathing fast she looked at the unconscious man and walked towards him bending down and resting her hand on his back shaking him.

" Hello...hello"She looked up as she heard shouting and furniture breaking, she wondered what was happening. She then used all her strength to turn over Thomas and then she saw that he had a bleeding wound on his forehead and she also saw that he had a handgun in his waistband and a badge that she assume was for the police. " The police knows I'm here..." She whispered to herself. She ripped a piece of her shirt and applied pressure on man's head . " I hope you guys win..."

" Ughh" the man groaned before he opened his eyes to see Zuri. " Zuri...zu-zuri..."

" How many police are here ?"She asked but the man just groaned in pain ." Come on tell me ?"

"8... He can't survive 8 armed policemen....ugh my head." He said as he tried to get up.

" No, due to your head injury you have to lay back...I don't think they are winning ..."she said as she continues to hear shooting and furniture breaking, Zuri then quickly take his gun from his waistband and stands up." I need this..."

" Give it back......I'll protect you..." He groaned out knowing that he can't due to his injuries, he also thought he broke his spin.

"If he comes down just pretend your dead...please ...." Zuri said. After a while all the commotion upstairs stopped and then the trap door opened. Zuri was breathing intensely as she tried to summon the enough courage to point the gun. She looked at the man laying down who decided to close his eyes and stop his breath.

" Baby.." She then sighed in disappointment when she heard Chase voice. " Mon amour ..." He walked down and stopped when he saw that she was pointing the gun towards him. She frowned when she realize that he had almost to no injuries, the only thing was that he had some blood on his clothes and his hair was now messy.

" How?" She asked in disbelief.

" Im trained for this ..." He said as he began to step closer to her.

" Stay back, I'll shoot you! "She yelled but he just continue to walk towards her.

"How beautiful you, Gosh, Zuri you really make me so crazy..." He said as he continued to walk. Zuri was scared to pull the trigger, this man survived 8 police officer without a scratch obviously he would survive a underweight female . " Baby we can't be here anymore.."

" Fuck off !" Zuri yelled as he was now close to her, she stepped back until she was bracing against the wall. Before she could even blink Chase had grabbed the gun and grabbed her hand.

" We have to go now!" He ran with her upstairs but Zuri took one last look at the man laying on the ground, he was also looking at her. She then gasp when she reach upstairs seeing all the officers laying on the floor with broken furnitures and blood all over , some were still alive and Injured. He then dragged her to his black jeep wrangler.

" Go in .." he demanded and she just followed. He got in the car and drove out the driveway happy that the polices didn't parked in his driveway.

" Where are we going to go." She asked.

" Somewhere where we can get married ." He said causing Zuri to wide open her eyes.
