Chapter 29 - The last time we were together (7)

Around twenty minutes later, noises started to be heard from outside the room, and Matthew nodded again and with the distraction of the noise outside which drew the teenagers attention the other soldiers signalled to people to quietly move quickly out of the room, and head to behind the sports pavilion, before moving towards Matthew ready to attack and take away the weapons that the teenagers had.

As they started to swing back from the doors, Matthew and the two soldiers charged the boys quickly grabbing and disarming the teenagers, before the police smashed open the doors, finding three people in Military uniform standing over four teenagers who were on the ground.

Looking around the lead police officer noticed that one mand wore an Officers uniform. This must be the Lieutenant that they had been advised was here and in charge. "Lieutenant Rong, we were advised that you where here."

"Gentleman, here are your perpetrators. All the guests will be behind the Sports Pavilion, where you will find another solider, who is responsible for their safety."

Four police officers came and put handcuffs on the teenagers, before helping them off the ground and taking them out of the room. Matthew and the soldiers followed the other police officers towards the sports pavilion, where for Matthew the word only righted itself when Lexi ran into his arms.

Matthew simply stood there, keeping Lexi close. While he wanted to kiss her, this was not the time and place for that. Reaching into his pocket he took out his phone and quickly said "Sir I am ending the call now."

"Fine, I heard your takedown. Staff will be there in a few minutes."

Matthew turned to Lex, and quietly said "We need to tell either Chester or Andrew."

"Andrew, Chester is still too angry at the moment with his wife."

"Andrew it is. Is his number still the same?" Matthew observed Lexi nodding, and dialled Andrew number.

"Andrew before you kill me, listen. At the dance, four teenagers p*ssed off with the treatment of some witches of classmates of Lexi, who by the way were bullying her as well, stormed the dance. By chance three other soldiers were present and we were able to distract and take them down without any injuries."

"You b*stard, she was in danger. I am coming to get her."

"Andrew listen to me; I will tell you this once. Talk to the police tomorrow if you need to verify this. This would have happened regardless of whether I was here or not. These girls annoyed off the wrong people, and they targeted this event. Lexi would have been caught in this whether I was here or not. My being here just ensured that she was safe, and it was quickly over. As I have no idea when the police will allow us to leave, so I will take Lexi to my Villa and bring her home in the morning. I promised you she would be safe, and she will."

Matthew handed the call to Lexi, who he could hear say "Andrew calm down. Matthew made sure I was safe. As a witness we will not be allowed to leave until the police have finished. Matthew is right though, as we do not know what time we will get away it is easier for me to stay at his Villa, where I will be safe and come home tomorrow. Now, I need to end the call."

Lexi hung up on Andrew and handed Matthew back his phone. The two of them moved over to the side where the three soldiers were standing with their dates for the night. Matthew turned to the three of them saying "You have proved to me that you have what it takes. Now I must report what I saw, but at the same time I will reinforce what you did. It should save your careers."

"Yes Sir."

Over the next five hours the eight of them witnessed the police talking to the various witnesses while they spoke initially to the military officers who attended the scene, before they gave their statements to the police.

As they finished. Matthew realised after looking at his watch that it was 2am and rather than disturbing his staff he arranged with the military to take him back to his villa, claiming it was Lexi's home and that he would get his way home from there.
