*Disclaimer*

-This is my first story so am very excited. It is not Proofread (I am working on the other parts since I want to make it like a series). Leave some feedbacks❤️

Description:

No one knows where she came from. They only know her as the girl Cahil brought into the CIA the day she decided to leave everything. Her superiors never got her involved in any field jobs until Lloyd came along. She wasn’t innocent but she wasn’t like Lloyd either. They became inseprateble until she really saw the real side of him. It was unspeakable the act he has put on. The way his soul disappeared and the smirk in his face showed how much he really enjoyed it. She knew something was messed up then but she didn’t dare to speak up, she knew they would ruin her. So she went off the grid, but now they got a new location for her but she is not working alone.

Chapter 1:

“You need to go back to Fitzroy’s house.” As soon as I walked in the house Maggie handed me a pair of keys and a phone.

“Yes hello, how are you?, I am good, how-” before I could finish my remark we heard a gun shot outside.

“I am doing good but you need to leave before they find you here” she pats my hand and leans me to the kitchen where the tunnel is under the floor.

“Maggie you-”

“Its nothing I can’t handle” I know she was right. Before she noticed I placed a card under the lock. After a couple minutes I hear the door crash open. Muffles but nothing alarming until a groan knocks me into my senses. I lift the door up shooting the first guy I see. The second one comes around the corner but as I hide behind the countertop he misses his shot. I turn my head around the otherside and see maggie on the floor. “Fuck!” I scream. Rushing towards the other side and shooting the guy. Before the guy could say anything I grab the gun pointed to the back of my head, as I turn I kick my feet under his and shot him. I throw the gun to the side and rush towards maggie who was already sitting up. “I knew you wouldn’t listen”

“Neitheir do you” I smile helping her up. “Let me take you somewhere safe and then I’ll head to Fitzroy” But she shakes her head. Dammit. Lady.

“You need to go now. The girls are in danger and I know you care for them. They got him being followed everywhere. You need to get her before they do something to her”

“Who are they maggie?”

“The same people we are trying to take down. You need to go now. I will be right behind you” I nod knowing there was enough time for her leave. I grab my backpack and head out noticing the building being surrounded by police.

“Ma’am are you okay?” Her goes acting.

“You have to do something!” I start to shake. Panicking. “There's three men up there” I cover my face crying”

“Please calm down, we will take care of it” the guy rushed over to the rest and I rush to get the hell out of here. There was no need for that but it was fun. I got onto the plane and on my way. These past couple of months they had no luck of me until now. They have agents that could find anyone so I wouldn’t have doubt it would be a matter of time but how did they come so close? Now what does Fitzroy or even Claire have to do with this? I close my eyes but every routes leads me to a dead end.

All the ride there my mind was blanked. It always was. “Damit!” I kick my bag as I become irritated when it falls to the ground. I picked it up, taking a deep breath knowing this was not the time to be picky. I had a job to do and this comes first. I got to the house knocking on the door waiting for someone to open.

“No one is home” I smile knowing Claires voice on the other side of the door.

“To bad, I guess I have to blow your house down” I hear the door swing open and my body is engulfed in a tight hug.

“Oh I missed you so much, Victoria has taken the role of queen and let me tell you she is not so elegant” I shake my head as we head inside. “What are you in here for?”

“I missed you two and decided to spend some days with you before I head off” It wasn’t a lie. I don’t know how many days I was going to stay but as soon as they are safe I am leaving and won’t be coming back in a while.

“Okay. Well I am going to my room to finish things up and then we are going to have movie night, deal?” I shake my head. “You have to verbally agree and shake my hand” Her small hand went straight at me as she stood straight before me.

“Deal” I whisper, shaking her hand before she is walking back towards her room. After she leaves I walk around the house making sure to check everything is secure.

“What has brought you back?” I see Victoria sitting in the Kitchen stool eating something. Back to play babysitter?

“You don’t need one honey” I send her a smile before I walk off to finish my round. Don’t get me wrong I like the girls. Claire keeps everyone on their toes. No matter what is going on she is strong and doesn’t let anything affect they way she lives life. Sometimes I feel like the little girl inside of my whats to be as stronge and free as she is. Victoria is a different case. She turned 18 a couple months ago and now is stuck at home. She hates it. A couple years ago when I first started taking care of them she was sweeter. All smile much like claire when you really got to know them. Now she only cares about her space which I totally get. I was like that 3 years ago.

Two days went by. No call from Fitzroy or Maggie. The anticipation was killing me. The only thing keeping me sane was the quietness the house gave.

“Someone’s at the door!” I heard Claire scream from the living room as I passed by.

“I think that's why the doorbell is for” I glare at Claire. She knows I hate it when she screams. My gun packed in my jeans as I took a look at the cameras. “Can I help you?” I ask only to open it enough to see around him. Dirty blonde hair. Ken like futures. Tall, built, but not like a scary bodybuilder built. I almost laugh remembering the reference. Before he could speak a car pulls up and out comes Fitzroy.

“I see you have met Six” I should have known Fitz would bring someone from the department.

“Pleasure” I offer him a smile, opening the door wider for them to walk in. Fitz gives me a look. He knew I was pissed. He knows that for the last months I have been staying away from the CIA. I followed them as he introduced Six to everyone.

“And this is Claire”

“We don’t chew gum in here” I smirk looking down at my feet. Claire was a tough cookie. She gave him her best stare. I stay behind while Fitx shows the guy every part of the house. “What is he doing here” We look as the are walking towards the kitchen. He did look good. I just shrug taking a seat on the armrest next to her. “Think he's an ass?”

“Words” I whisper. “Can’t judge him yet” I sent her a wink before dusting off and starting to make my way into the office.

“You think he’s cute?” I just shake my head turning the corner. I check the cameras as they make it to the entrance again. Six closes the door and Fitz drives off. And just like clock work everytime he leaves the house my phone rings.

“Hello”

“I knew if I mention something about an agent coming to help you, you would deny” damn right I would.

“He's not only an agent. Why him?” he didn’t trust many but the few he did, well lets just say you don’t need two hands to count them.

“Sierra Six is there to protect you girls and before you say anything I know you got it handled but what I am doing is not going to be easy. I need to make sure that all the people I am upsetting right now will not have any leverage on me and trust me they will try their very best. He is the best, weapanery, tactical plan, smart, and has exceeded every assignment and expectation we had. Plus I know the guy for years, just like you, I don’t trust my girls with anybody else”

“You’re lucky I like the girls so much” I whisper. I take a look at the cameras seeing him talking to Claire. While Victoria is making doe eyes at him the whole time.

“Just a month or so, maybe even a couple weeks tops”

“Bye Fitzroy” I hung up the phone. I check the time on the computer. I have a couple hours before lunch is ready. I use this time to dig some information on Six. No matter how much knowledge I had in my head it doesn’t beat the technology the CIA has to protect files. But usually there is no trace of people like him, but that doesn’t mean there's no point in trying. I pulled up his profile and checked the basic information. No origin. Age 32. Height. Weight. Missions. Classified. Background Classified. Family. Classified. If they would just protect everyone in the world like this maybe crooked people would exist, well then again they would have more opportunity to do their dirty work. “Humanity can never win huh?” I sigh closing down my laptop.

“Lunch is ready” I hear a small voice say on the other side of the door. I smile walking up to open it. “Dude has been staring at the wall and Viki has been staring at him since he sat down”

“Don’t worry, is a teenage thing” We laugh heading down to the kitchen.

“Will I go through that?” She says a little sad. Claire has never been the one who felt weak because of her health condition but once in awhile it does dawn on her that she is not healthy

“Of course. You will try to do anything for the guy. Maybe even go out of your way to get his attention” I shrug walking up to the table and sitting down infront of Viki. She sits beside Six and Claire beside me.

“Whose attention?” Victoria asked to get out of the haze she was in.

“A very special person's attention” I say taking the plate from the staff and thanking her.

“I don’t think I will ever go that stupid for someone” I smirk, I feel eyes on me and when I look up he lookes away. “I mean why would I give everything to someone without the guarantee they would do the same?” Fair point

“Sometimes you can’t help it. You also have to understand that love is selfless, although I think you have a choice, but it is a hard one to make”

“So what you're saying is that you have a choice on who you love?”

“No, You have a choice on what to do with the feeling but the feeling comes naturally and unexpectedly. You have no choice in that. Your choice is to either deal with them or run away from them.” Before another word is said my watch pinges and is an alert. I stand up and excuse myself. I check the cameras in my phone and everything is silent. “Get the girls. They are inside the house” I whisper to Six feeling his presence follow me down the hallway. As I hear him retreat I pull out my gun checking down every room. I go down to the last room in the hallway and push the bathroom door open. The gun knocked out my hand and a kick to the chest knocked me down. Before he could land another hit I grab the knife my belt and throw it at his head. I quickly moved out the way, taking my knife out and picking up my gun. I checked out the whole house, locking every window and making sure the doors and the alarms were set.

“Next time you should let me take care of it.” I see him follow me into my office. I didn’t have time for this. “Your hurt” he points out. I look down to my arm and didnt realise the blood that had form on my shirt.

“Must have cut myself on some glass” I take out a piece of paper and a phone. I walk towards the doorframe which he was leaning against and handed him the things. “Next time” I say moving pass him. “Can you clean that up while I go clean myseld up? Thanks” I send him a smile before walking upstairs. Maybe it is not a bad idea having him take care of the girls. He is the extra security this place needs.

Chapter 2:

Chapter 2

The last seven days have gone by so slow. I spend my time taking a look at my watch noticing every minute that ticks by. Six is not a bad guy but he is very serious, more than me even, that's what Claire says atleast. I can see how Claire has gotten under his skin. She had a scare two days ago and he was alert and ready to do anything to keep her safe in the hospital. I stayed behind with Victoria. She has been to herself unless Six was involved. What is up with girls and guys way too old for them? At the moment we were outside, Claire was sitting in the shade reading a book while I was laying down on the ground resting my eyes.

“Your supposed to be inside” I groan as I hear his voice and hear claires stop.

“Are you always so serious” I chuckle keeping my eyes closed.

“I am working” he states it like it was all he has known and that was probably right.

“How many suits do you own?” I open one eyes seeing the stare he was give claire with all the questions she was asking.

“Are you sitting on my jacket?” I look over to Claire who just shrugged and takes it out from under her.

“You know, you would look better in dark blue” I sigh standing up. “Don’t you think?” I don’t know who she was asking but as i walked past him handing him his jacket.

“She’s right” It goes well with his eyes. “Claire don’t you dare read ahead” I scream making my way into the house. Six was right about being outside in the open area. Yet I know the girls were feeling frustrated being stuck inside and atleast for a little bit they could be reguler kids and spend some time outside. No danger has happened since the last time someone snuck in but you can never be too cautious.

The afternoon passed by and finally the clock hit 12. Midnight and I couldn’t sleep. I get up from my chair and move to the kitchen to make some tea. Six is sitting on the couch watching the cameras like a hawk. “You want a drink?”

“I don’t drink” he simply responded and I couldn’t help but chuckle. His eyes probably never left the computer screen since the girls went to bed, correction since Clair went to bed. Victoria is still up.

“Tea,” I groaned. “Although the thing you need is a drink” I whisper under my breath and if he heard me, he didn’t respond

“Didn’t see you much of a tea drinker, I have only seen you drink coffee” I hear the stool chair being pulled and his voice getting closer.

“Coffee is just something, tea calms me down” I place a cup infront of him watching his reaction. “I didn’t posion it” I place mine in the counter waiting for it to cool down a little.

“So, Meditation, Tea, have a touch on literature and life. Hippie?” Our eyes meet. I didn’t know what to say. Its not like I didn’t have a remark but looking into his eyes for the very first time like this changed my perspective of him. Of course I don’t trust him but I can form an opinion on him without knowing everything about him. How did he end up in the CIA? He doesn’t say much which is understandable but even the loneliest people need to vent to someone. Wonder why people don’t have even some many up stories about him. He is like a ghost. “Are you trying to read me?” A little smirk form but as quick as it did it disappeared.

I shake my head. “Goodnight Six” I take my cup and headed back into my office. There is someone who will help me out and she owes me. I sat my cup down and pull up my phone. I hear it ring for the longest until a voice answers on the other side.

“Hows it going”

“Sierra Six. I have my thoughts on him.”

“I know you never set ideas on someone but what you see is who he is” I stop a think. Maggie surly knows him, she worked close with Fitz and if he knew anything he would tell her and it goes the same for her. But she is wrong. Eithier she is lying or Fitzroy doesn’t trust her as much as I thought he did. Or maybe she doesn’t trust me as much as I thought.

“Okay” Before I could hang up she speaks again.

“Courtland Gentry. Goodnight Sierra Eight” My hand couldn’t move to set the phone down. The shock of not hearing his real name but of being called that again. Why? Another thing I hated.

“Hey, where is Six?” I look up seeing Victoria in her nightgown “He isn’t in the living room” I wanted to tell her to go to bed but I understand she is already 18 and doesn’t need me to tell her what to do.

“Let me check” I open my laptop and look at the cameras until I find him walking upstairs making his rounds. “He's making his rounds by the library” A smile appears on her face and she takes off. I finish my tea and I get up to leave towards the kitchen and am caught off guard when Six blocks my view.

“Liar” I sigh, holding on to my chest. “And Incognizant” I look up to him. Courtland. Nothing really special in his name. An English word usually used for a girl. I’ve heard of Cortland, but that was not him. It was like puppet work, he took a step forward and I took a step back. He had pretty features. I can’t do this to myself. Thankfully I started thinking clearly when he shut the door causing my cup to fall and break.

“I was just off for a moment” I scoffed and reached for the broom to pick up my mess but he caught my hand.

“Your eyes look at me differently” I scrunch my nose feeling uneasy. He stared at me like I was the stranger here.

“I have never looked at you like I knew you” Something flicker through his eyes. I slipped my wrist away only to have him grab a hold of it again and pull me closer. My head got dizzy and my body wanted to just let him take hold of me. His smell was everywher and it filled my brain and it only allowed me to focus on his face so close to mine.

“After a couple days, you know me better than anyone” My eyes seal close as his nose traces my jaw. He hoovers and moves down my neck

“Its my job to know who am working with” I tried to fight his hold on my wrist but I knew I was just kidding myself. If I wanted I could have him on the floor in a second, in any position I wanted.

“You know that is not want I was talking about” he grabs a hold of my jaw making my eyes open and focus on his. His attitude changed, he was playful and calm just a second ago and now I can’t see any emotion in his eyes. “I am not one to do this.” He moves closer with every word he lets out and I can’t move and inch. “You intrigue me and trust me when I say that no one has before. And I know this isn’t right but goddamn at this point it feels like the only right thing to do is kiss you”

So kiss me. My body and hands were on him but our lips didn’t touch. “You’re right” I whisper. Its like I was burning inside and the only thing that could put me out was water. But I didn’t want to be put out, I wanted to burn even more. In any way I could have him. I reach out to his wrist, jerking him to the wall and opening the door.

“He wasn;t in the library” Victoria says standing with her arms crossed right infront of me. Her eyes checked me out like, she knows I was lying but I know she wouldn’t understand why, and before you think about it no, it wasn’t because I was Six for myself.

“Oh” I look around acting like I was thinking. “ Maybe he moved on to the rest of the house before you got there” I shrug, giving her a smile. I reach back, grabbing the door knob and closing it behind me.

“Right,” she say annoyed. I thought it was the last of the words from her but she stood her ground. There was nothing I was scared of. If I died, so be it. If they killed any innocent person in the world who wasn’t the two girls I could live with that. Hell if I had to kill them I would. But what came out of her mouth wasn’t fear, far worse, it was worry. Fear is upon yourself but worry is upon that one person that you can’t help. “He said you would never lie to your girls”

I turn around and look back with no emotion. “He was right” I was looking for any sign of her giving anything away. I never reveal anything but to one person. She promised.

“Guess I'm not part of those girls.” I think her lips said goodnight. My brain was on fire. I walk back inside grabbing my phone and placing it in my pocket.

My mind was doing laps. Figuring out what Victoria knew. “What's got you twisted” This is the last thing I need. I look up from staring at the table to the door frame where Court stood. I forgot he was still here.

“You do” I get up from my chair walking towards the door to get as far away from him as possible. Every step felt like I would fall onto my knees. The feelings when he gets too close and help me god it didn’t help that he now put his arm inbetween me and freedom.

“Well let me fix that” He stood up straight taken a step towards me and one thing I won’t do is ever take a step back for someone. But no matter what kind of feelings I have towards him that make my mind disappear. My whole body feel tingly and my heart beat faster and faster every time his eyes are on mine, I have to ignore it. Before he had a chance to touch me I moved away walking out the door. I didn’t have time for this. I pull out my phone and dailed the only person who could give me answers.

“Eight”

“Fitzroy” I say stern hoping his smirk or smile will disappear. “I have something to pick with you” I sat down on the kitchen stool making sure no one was around. “And am guessing you know by the silence in your voice” I chuckle, not an amusing one.

“Listen”

“No, I have done enough listening. I took this because it was you. And out of all people I would have thought you would understand. I confined in you, and no reason behind it will be good enough”

“She didn’t trust you!” he cuts me off making my blood boil a little hotter than it already was

“She doesn’t get a choice! Her life's in jeopardy. Does she really think she has a say?”

“Victoria is 18” I shook my head in disbelief. “She's an adult”

“Then I guess she can take care of herself. You had no right, I chose to trust you and that was bad on my end.”

“What are you going to do leave?”

“As a matter of fact yes I am. And after I end this call you won’t have a way to find me.”

“You can’t just leave, you made a promise to my girls”

“YOU MADE A PROMISE TO ME! I don’t take those lightly. Your girls will be safe with Six.”

“You can’t leave, you won’t leave, you care to much for the girls” deep down I know he was right. I cared for them. No matter which way I put it, It wasn’t the girls fault. But I just couldn’t stay.

“You know I cared about my girls more than anything”

“They are Dead!” I always had a short temper. Whenever I was young I would find the closes thing and try to match in with my fist. It hurt like hell but it was distracting from the pain in my heart.

Smashing the phone to the floor I took off to my office. I feel someone staring at me as I walk past the living room. Six was probably looking at the security cameras like always. Thankfully the sound was filtered. I close the door quietly and looked around. This has been my home for almost 4 years. Going back and forth everywhere but when I came back here it was a relief to me. I went to the computer and erased what I needed. My life was always a risk to I only kept what I knew would not come back a bite me. Every writing and note and picture in this room was unimportant and not useful to track me. Like a disposal camera, you take memories but at the end of the day if it get lost or trashed it won’t matter because those memories are engraved in your brain. I grab my backpack and headed out the door. I took a look at my watch and seen it just hit 4. It should be morning soon and I can’t risk anyone seeing me, for the safety of the girls. “Where are you going” Six walks from around the corner stopping as I got to the back door.

“I have a couple errands to run. I will be in a couple hours” You would think it would feel so bad to lie so well. Things will come out of my mouth and I would not evaluate them until I think of what I said later on. Maybe it's because I believed them too.

“Fitzroy didn’t say anything-'' He stopped when I placed my hand on both his cheeks. I felt a little tug in my lips. But of course disappointment made it go away.

“It was a last minute thing. I have news on Lloyd. I will explain it when I come back” With that I move out the door and across the hills until I reach my getaway. I didn’t know where I was going after getting on the train. I knew that the sun was coming back up when I moved out on some random street. I reach a telephone and dial Maggie’s number. “Maggie you know I respect you but you had no right. They only reason I am on the phone right now is because of the respect I still have for you, but this is the last time you will hear from me.” Before she could say anything I hung up. Now to get back on the train, on a plane and to walk a couple miles.

Chapter 3:

Chapter 3

Just a couple months went by and I can safely say that I am not prone to heart attack anymore. Not funny. My body has never felt more relaxed. I open my eyes, feeling a shadow over me. “I told you only if your dying” I let out a groan sitting up.

“Yeah well my life is in danger and I thought instead of being close to death you can help me before I get there” Her clothes were dirty and it seemed she was panicky.

“Get inside” I tell her. I grab my stuff getting myself out of the sun chair I was in and into the house. “Whats going on?” I close the windows and start making coffee.

“A couple days ago I was on an assignment. One of the Sierras escaped and now the Carmicheal is doing everything to find him” She sits down pulling out her phone. “I need you to help me look for him before they get to him first. Carmichael threaten me and I am not going down for his mistake”

I stir my coffee. Dark with 5 spoonfuls of sugar. “So you need me to find him?’ I sit on the chair infront of her.

“Yes. Whatever he knows, Carmichael will kill to have. Whatever that might be” Still on her phone she speaks moving her fingers quickly across the screen. “I know you left but I am here to collect the favor you owe” I roll my eyes knowing exactly what she meant. A couple years ago before I came in for the CIA I met her. She was one of the person I didn’t tell the whole truth but the only one who I trusted on helping me. She didn’t asked question.

“Dani.” I sit up pushing my coffee aside and taking ahold of the phone she extended to me. “After this I repaid my debt” her smirk was clearly shown as she nods.

“That is his file. He is one of the top most trained agent in the operation. After our mission he ran and I don’t know why yet.”That face. Six. “I need a location and help to capture him so I know what the hell is going on so my ass is not on the line” As much as I want to say no, I owe her. Just like she is afraid for her life, I was afraid for mine when she saved me. I get up and connect her phone to my computer.

“I will track down the phone he was last tracked on. If he is one of the best he will run without any technology but I can hack into the CIA system and figure out anything they might have on him.” I get up grabbing my stuff. This was the last thing I am doing when it comes to this life. After this is over, I am over for good.

“I got it. Lets go” Once I finished everything was pulled up and she grabbed her phone making her way to the car she had outside. A couple hours later we arrived in Vienna. “Seems like Lloyd got orders to kill too” We got out the vehicle making our way up some stair of the building. Hearing an explosion we stayed put.

“Whos Lloyd?” She turns to me as I see dust clouding up the side of the building. I point over to the man pointing the gun and Six. “Fuck” She rushed over shooting out a dart to his leg. It made a smile seeing fall over. He deserves so much worse, but who am I to judge right?

“It sounded like a question” Once I arrived next to them she already had his wrist zip tied and faceing the direction of the car. “How did you find me?” Following closely behind but not making myself known. Last thing I want is to look at him. I know that is going to be impossible but now that Dani had what she wanted we can go to a safe place and I can leave once again. But only if things were that easy.

“Had a little help” He turns his head around as I stop behind the car. “Get in the trunk” She motions it with the gun as I open it up his eyes are on me.

“Not the trunk. I could use a comfortable seat” Before I could say anything he fell forward with the dart going straight into his leg. “Can you help me?” I grabbed a hold of him. Dani helped me place him into the back closing it. She kept on driving. It was an awkward silence.

“Whats on your mind” I say leaning the seat back to rest my eyes.

“How do you know him?”

“Never met him in the office. A friend of ours needed help so we worked together then, outside the field. Just a couple weeks”

“How long ago was this?” she started blankly at the road. Following straight to the place where I swore never to set foot in unless I needed to.

“2, 3 months ago” She only nodded. I don’t know but it got even more akwards. A couple hours go by and I turn to see the back seat kicked down.

“You look like shit” She speaks. I turn my eyes on the road again. Not wanting to show how much he affected me. How could he?. Damn it.

“This is the most sleep I’ve hand in 36 hours” Bruise in his face. Track suit that didn’t go well with him. Leg stabbed and fatigue.

“They pulled me from the field. They think I have something to do with you and you are going to tell them that I don’t”

“Why do you think they are going to believe me?”

“You are an asset. This is my career on the line.” her words stinged. His silence might seemed like he didn’t care but If I learned anything from the couple weeks we were close, is that he thinks critically of everything.”What did you steal?”

“Technically I didn’t steal anything. Four handed it to me”

“And why didn’t you give it HQ?” I feel her patience breaking and his sarcasm too.

“Four gave it to me” I almost let out a laugh but I hold it in looking out the window.

“What was it?”

“An encrypted drive”

“What does it have in it?”

“Its encrypted”

“I want to see it where is it?”

“Why should I trust you?” This going back and forth is real giving me a migraine

“Becasue I just saved your life!”

“Fair point” He sighs. “I sent it to Margaret Cahill the U.K Agency Chief” I sit up removing my seat belt. My mind went blank for a second. Fuck why does everything have to haunt me.

“Seems like we are going to Prague” I came back to the real world feeling the car speed up. “We get the drive and figure out what the hell is in it, use it to save my career and then you get to go home.” We drive close enough the Maggie.

“You don’t need me to help with this part. You’re a big girl.” I say grabbing my stuff. “Stop the car” She presses on the brake pedal. I open my door as she gets out aswell. “You can call me if you’re in trouble but I can’t put myself so close to their radar, you understand”

“I do. I’ll have you on speed dial” she smiles and I walk away. I don’t look back hearing the car drive away. I go into the nearest store and grab a phone.

“Where can I use a computer?”

“A couple streets down you will find a public show room.” I thank the clerk and head down the street. I have to figure out what Lloyd was doing going after Six. I have never seen him going after another agent. Not creating such a chaos. Carmichael might need this bad and he is deemed to make a mistake. I need to find out what it is a finally put an end to the trickery Lloyd is into to, just like Maggie and Fitz tried to do for so long. I log into the system again. Going into any indication of Lloyd.

“Bingo” I smile. Cameras pop up. Multiple body cams. Lloyds voice could be heard. They surrounded a house, opening fire on Lloyds command. My heart sank. The next minute I hear the phone ring.

“I never wanted to betray your trust” Tears were coming out. I watch them moving in throught the dust and damages of the building. “They are lucky to have you. I have an envelope, you know where to find it. It is a free pass to start over with no problem, like I know you always wanted.”

“I thought you werent the sentimental type” I tried to be strong but I know she heard my voice break.

“Give them hell. And after you are done, go and be happy” My eyes focus back on the cameras seeing the men standing before her and everything disconnects.

“Fuck. no” I pull out of everything rushing out the door. The dilemma was there. I could fininish what she started like I have been planning or I could walk and start the life I always wanted, like I was planning. I see swat car moving down creating chaos. “Lloyd” I rush down the street going towards the rackous. Multiple guys surrounded the center plaza infront of maggies home. They were shooting at a bench. I take out my gun shooting to get close but there was to many people. “Sorry” I say to the officer down on the ground as I get into his car. “Alright you go this” I push the accelerator and before it could go into the statue of the man I jump out.

“Having fun?” I cover my head feeling the assault vehicle being blown up.

“Seriously?” he looked at me while pointing over to him being handcuffed to the bench. Oh of course. I roll my eyes. I point my gun up. “Wait-”

“You’re welcome” I smile. He stood up grabbing my arm and pulling me out the way before a van hit the bench. We rush into the train hiding behind the some seats.

“You’re welcome”

“Don’t count victory yet” I grabbed a hold of his jacket rolling us over to the next section avoiding the bullets. Straddling his hips I sit up shooting the gun men.

“I can count this as a victory” I roll out seeing a man rushing towards us.

“Shoot at him” I scream off, tossing my gun to hit another guy in the head.

“Thats not how you use a gun!” Well no shit dumbass. The train is hit by police cars knocking us to the ground.

“If we survive you can give me a lesson!” I get up running towards the back of the train while Six covered my back. “Our ride is here” Dani gets close to the train allowing me to jump and get into the passenger side. But a harsh blow to the side of a train knocks the car over.

“Take my gun!” I grab a hold of take out the swat car shooting at us

“Watch out” I stick my head back inside embracing the force of a car hitting us on the passenger side, Making us go out of course. “Step on it!” We watch Six running on top of the train.

“Hold on” Dani said putting the car is reverese. The pain in my ribs becomes worse I closed my eyes not wanting to see the train derailing hitting the building. Suddenly the car stops and I hear her let out a sigh. “Are you ok”

“Yep” I whimper sending her a smile. I look back seeing the remains of the big building barely missing the car. The back door open and six throws himself in.

“Thanks”

“You’re welcome” Dani puts the car in drive and we are off. “Maggie said you would come back. She said you always finished the job” I nod. To be truthful I didn’t know what to say. “Are you hurt?” She looks at the rear view mirror as the car stops.

“My ego is a little bruise but am ok.” I crack my neck trying to take the focus away from him. “I would like to repay you two one day, not that I want any harm to come to-“

“You mention a girl” jealousy of curse Jealousy was the first thing that hit when Dani mentioned a girl. Now is not the time, I thought to myself. “How do we find her?”

“She has a pacemaker” I eyes shot open turning my whole weight to him. “Lloyd had her a random as well as Fitzroy” first Maggie now The girls?

“Wait she said girl?”

He nods, sitting up right in the back seat. “Claire. Victoria is out somewhere safe. The next day after you left she escaped. Maggie helped find her and giver her a new life. The free life she always wanted. But not Claire”

“She could never leave Fitzroy” I sigh looking back to the road. “Get us to a hospital” Dani nods, starting to drive again.

“You don’t have a handcuff key by any chance do you?” I shake my head hearing the rattle in the chain. The day became dark once we arrived in a location far away so we didn't look suspicious. The emergency room was full. Six was leaning against Dani for support trying to get into a room but were ignored. I see them walk back and I just turn around finding and employee.

“Am so sorry” I say mistakenly walking into the nurse. “Am just in pain” I move my left hand to my rib and he shows his concern

“How long have you been waiting?” He starts helping to a room. I grabbed his ID and unnoticed by anyone Dani grabbed it from my hand. He took me straight for some scans and the first chance I got I left. I walk out the building and cops are outside and people are scattering.

“Who throws a loaded gun?”

“I asked for a loaded gun” I laugh seeing them argue.

“No one throws a loaded weapon, okay?” I just shake my head at six pushing him aside from the drivers door of the police car.

“You look like shit” Their head turn to look at me like I had two.

“While you were busy with the nurse man, I got stabbed two times” he grunts putting his hand up so I can see the damage.

“Oh poor baby” Dani unfazed moves towards the car. “Get in the car” I start the car and drive once Six is in. “Where is she?”

“Croatia” from the rearview mirror I see him struggle to get comfortable “Also this man attacked us and got the drive” I look over to Dani and she only nods leaning back in her seat. “I think he is working with Lloyd”

“You think” I whisper to myself not wanting to feel irritated. I park a couple feet back from some establishments. While Dani shoots the cameras outside I break open the window of the vet place. “Here” I thow a bottle to Six. He looks at me weirdly. “I got it from the man nurse” he opens the painkillers and takes a few.

“I will just wrap it up and leave” I stand by the door waiting for him to scavenge whatever he needs.

“Why did you go to prison?” I turn my head wanting to get an answer to.

“Why do you ask?”

“Becasue I want to know?” He continues to grab things from the cabinet

“Will it affect if you help me or not?”

We turn to look at eachother only nodding. “Maybe” We both say at the same time.

“Fair enough” he sighs finally turning around. “Puppy mouth wash” He walks over to sit in a stool. I walk over quickly before he can put that on his wound. I break the lock on a cabinet and take out alchol. “You saw me struggle” he whispers to me as I grab some cotton and pour the alcohol straright in. “Fuck” he hisses

“You were saying?” No matter what he said I needed to go with him to save claire. But it will answer the questions I have in my head running around.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“My father fancied himself a real macho guy and he was hell-bent on turning my brother and I into more like him” We listen to him as I continue to clean him up. “ Unfortunately, his methods were a little unsound, he started working very hard on my brother that I knew at a certain point it was going to be him or my brother” I nudge him to sit up and when he does I start wrapping a bandage around his waist. “ When it did” he shrugged, his voice sounded out of breath but no emotion, like always “I decided it was going to be him” My eyes wanted to look at him. Somehow tell him that it was a brave thing to do. Maybe not the way it should have been handled but I know as young boy it was a hard decision he had to make. “I thought I did a noble thing but everyone else thought I should go to jail” I get up from crunching down and pulled down his shirt. “Then Fitzroy found me”

“Hand” I extend my hand towards him. I move the old rag he had around it off. “So you had a brother” It came out more playful than I wanted it to but it did make me smile knowing that he had someone he truly loved out there somewhere.

“Yeah” He nods. I start wrapping his had when he stops me by grabbing my wrist with his right one. “I would have said something-” I cut him off shaking my head

“We didn’t spend enough time together for that much trust” after such a long time this was the first time I was close to him again. This close. Where he can whisper anything and I would be able to hear. Where I am close enough to see his chest as he inhales and exhales everytime. To fill his aura surrounding me.

“Trust me, you’re in the top 3” I laughed louder than expected but it was so cheesy.

“Sorry” calming myself I removed my hands from his and finished wrapping his hand. “Lets go get our girl” taking an epipen he sticks it in one of his legs.

“And Fitzroy” My eyes look back making him stop in his tracks

“I know what I said” A little colder but he must know that I am only going for Claire. If it come to a decision I will do what I feel is right. He opened his mouth to speak but I turned around and got back into the car. The whole ride was silence. Dani took a nap but I could feel Six’s eyes on me. “We’re here” Stirring awake Dani gets out the car and opens the trunk. “I’ll distract you shoot” faceing the way of the men secuing the perimeter I see six already there. “Fuck you” I explaimed

“You want to” Dani runs after him, shooting the two guys. She gives me a smile before returning to pay attention to six. “Make sure is loaded”

“One time, and you ran” Six lift his arm in surrender.

“Who throws and unloaded gun to someone they are working with”

“Enough” I say opening the chest in the truck

“I get the big one” I laughed, grabbing a handgun and a knife.

“You distract them and we are going to go in a find Caire and Fitzroy” Dani nods walking to the front of the castle Lloyd was in. “Go ahead I will be right behind you” Its been a long time since I had gone into a mission. Let alone one who was this dangerous. “Lets get our girl and get out of here” Maybe it was because I was feeling the adrenaline kick in or because his words gave me feeling of feeling safe. Like if everything was going to be okay aslong as I was with him. I grabbed his face and kiss him. His arms wrapped around me pulling me closer. Although the feeling against him was enough it made me said the sound of a car exploding made us break apart.

“Lets go” I say running in as Dani was outside. We walked in sneaking around not wanting to get noticed. “I think those scary men with guns have her locked in” I say pointing at the end of the hallway.

“Ladies first” I roll my eyes walking out the corner.

“Who are you?” one man spoke pointing the guns at me

“Oh am sorry I must have gotten lost, Lloyd didn’t tell me where the bathroom was” I gave them one of my smiles.

“He knows how to pick them” the guy on the left tells the other one laughing. “I will show you the bathroom” he takes a step coming close to me. I grab a hold of his gun turning it around with much force to start suffocating him with the band. Before the guy could aim I take out my knife targeting his head.

“Why do you always apologise?” I know he was being sarcastic but not was the time I noticed I was beingined like that.

“People underestimate girls, and more when hey admit they were wrong somehow” I shrug letting the man fall. Six opens the door and walk in.

“Took you long enough” I hear Claire says hugging Fitzroy tight. They probably thought Lloyd or one of his men where here to cause more pain.

“Am sorry. My flight was delayed, I was underequppied” Six closes the blinds handing Fitz a gun.

“I’d know you’d catch another one” He turns to me.

“What took you so long?” My eyes move behind him seeing claire with a broken lip.

“Apparently when you hand with some bad crowd they tend to come after you too” I smile giving her a hug.

“Am still mad you left” I laugh.

“Well I am here now and beggars can’t be choosers so let us save your and we will call it even”

“Promise you won’t leave like that again and you have a deal” I give her a glare but brush it off.

“Deal” We shake hands as smiles appears in our faces. I usher her to Six who gives her some plugs.

“Listen am really sorry-” I lift my hand up stopping him.

“I respect you enough not to leave you behind but understand I am only here because of her” Without an answer I walk towards the doors making sure it was okay. “Close your eyes” I tell claire grabbing her arm. We pass down the hallway to the right towards outside. Dani’s explosions stopped. “We need to go” They follow behind six and I cover the back until bullets are aimed at us. We hid quickly Six securing Claire behind a post.

“Lets go” Six screamed

“Yall go I will be right behind you” We turn to see Fitz resting against another post clutching his chest.

“We don’t have much time!” I yell motion us to leave

“I don’t have much time!” He removed his hand and we see the stain of blood getting bigger and bigger. “Take her and leave. Hand me a grenade and leave!”

My eyes were fighting to not let tears flow out. Claire can be heard crying and screaming. “We have to go” Six yells. I usher him off and see them jump off into the water.

“Take the gun and go. Safe her” I kneel down before him putting the grenade in his hand.

“You have to understand you took something that is worth my life and spreaded it like some petty news” He closes his eyes nodding

“I understand. You will do anything for them just like me. Can you promise me you will protect them? You and Six are all they have left and I would like for them to grow up and be as strong as you one day.” My eyes focuses on the noise coming in. “Go” he pushes me away as I see Lloyd coming closer and closer. I takes steps back where I can overlook Six swimming away with Claire. They need to get as far a possible.

“Never thought I would see you again and even working for the enemy” he laughs strutting closer taking a look at Fitz. “You think you are so good but in all honesty you are just as bad as me. The things you hate about me, you wish you could do. You hate me becuse you know that deep down you will not hesitate to do what I have done before. We all have our reasons”

“She is nothing like you” Fitz takes the pin out and I rush to climb on the the railings and jump into the water. I could feel the water suffocating me while the fire lit the surface. As soon as am out I look for Six.

“His moving with Claire towards the front” I hear my earpiece go off

“Thank you” I say, making a run for it. “As much as I like you in my ear I will have to let you go” the static sound was messing with my ear drums. I go up and see Six running towards the gardens.

“Lloyd has Claire” I nod following close behind into the maze. “Over here” we sprint hearing Claires screams until they stop. “Why did you stay behind?” I took it as a question but it sounded like a demand. Like if I was supposed to apoloise for something.

“I had to to clear my head”

“You left because of him didn’t you?” he looks at me for a quick second until he is back to looking everywhere else but me.

“Heres not the time, when we get out of here I will tell you everything” I rush past him until we see come to the middle of the maze. Theres a water fall pond in the middle with Lloyd and Claire on the opposite side of us.

“How did you like the swim?” He laughs moving just a little so we can notice the gun in his hand.

“Nice, I see you couldn’t afford another boat” Swimming was hell. Atleast Six took a boat with Claire.

“Well after this I might not have any, I still have to repair this historic building. Ha, who am I kidding, I will have enough left”

“Miranda doesn’t have a clear shot” Six says steady aiming at Lloyd.

“Let her go Lloyd, and maybe after this you can stay alive” I walk forward but he pushes the gun harder against her head.

“Now what's the fun in that? Now I do want to finished this quick, isn’t the kids bedtime?”

“We need to get her out” I say

“How about you throw your guns so I don’t give your little friend a new face huh? If your strategy relies on whether or not I’ll kill a child , you need a new stragety. You had no problem doing that right?” his eyes switch towards me. And anger rises. I take out the ammo in the gun throwing it towards him. “Seems like your partners didn’t tel you the whole things huh?”

“We don’t have time for this, let her go!” I scream.

“New deal, Tell him and the little one my favorite story, the one where all those people die, the hero kills and stays alone, at the end, well you know the ending and you tell it so well. Tell it and I will let the girl go”

I sigh looking down on the ground. “She doesn’t have a straight line shot” I groaned hearing six.

“Tell it” Lloyd says, triggering the flare gun to go off next to Clairs face.

“I was 16.” I started “My family and I were on Vacation. Turns out my father was dealing with the wrong people in the agency. He wasn’t an agent but he was getting classified information and when the wrong people noticed he was holding out they came and looked for him.”

“This is my favorite part” Lloyd has a smile plastered on his face. “Go ahead”

“They came in and when my father wouldn’t say anything they killed my mother right infront of my siblings and I. I had a choice then. My brother ran his voice and those people got angry. They told me because I was being so nice they handed me the gun first. Told me to shoot one of my siblings so I can save another.” my eyes burned with the tears threatening to fall. “I had 3 siblings. I had to shoot 2 so me and another sibling could be safe. I had not way out”

“That's a shitty excuse. You killed your brother and sister but when they told you to run you ran without look back. Forgetting the smallest to die. There's no reasoning behind that”

“Is that what Fitzroy had against you?” He whispered

“Okay enough.” We looked up seeing him let go of Claire and she rushed over to us giving Six a hug.

“Take her to a safe place” His voice was harsher than before. “Go, Miranda will be out there to help you” Claire nods

“Be safe”

“It's just another Thursday” Six waves goodbye to Claire as her hand wraps around mine and tugs me away. This is what I came for right? For Claire. She will be safe and sound after we find ourselves far away from this place. I just have to contine running towards the end of the maze and to Dani. Drive away and everything will be over. Relaxation didn’t hit me until Claire was in the car and I saw Suzanne’s crew outside.

“I have to go back,” I told Claire.

“He will be okay” Dani says, grabbing my arm. The cars are coming closer and closer each second. It was bullshit if I started believeing this will have a happy ending. Nothing ever does in my life and I am tired of it.

“I will be okay” I turn to Claire who only offers a smile and thats the only approval I need as I rush back into the maze. When I got closer Suzzene was holding a gun towards six and Lloyd was enjoying a little swim.

“We will blame it all on him.” I go behind her carefully and knock the gun to the ground. “You little-” before she could crawl to get a hold of the gun I grab her wrist tugging it back and knocking her out.

“We need to get out of here before they come and find us” I grab a hold of him and allowed him to lead against me for support.

“Where is Claire?” he groaned.

“Outside getting checked out. Camicheal is still out to get you disk or no disk. Suzanne will probably put in a bad word against me so there is no way of waltzing back into the agency and getting Claire the nice way.”

“I don’t like dancing anyways” he chuckles slightly as we make our way towards the front and into the woods.

“Me neither. We need to get you fixed and make sure Claire is good to go before we try to get her back.”

“And after that?” I turn to look at him not knowing what he means.

“I don’t like to plan ahead”

Chapter 5: Final

Chapter 5:

That morning I got a friend of mine to check Six out as soon as we arrived in DC. His injuries are bad but thankfully with his treatments he will recover in weeks. “Got you some coffee since you don’t want to sleep”

“Well having to worry about people you love does that?” I grin seeing his disgusted face. “Mase someday you are going to find a girl who you will find yourself doing everything in your power to make her happy” I set my cup down and walk up to him.

“And end up like you? No thank you” he removes himself from the wall before I could trap him. “Love makes people crazy. No matter which way it is or comes. The reason I decided not to involve myself with that after I lost my parents is because love hurts. Either they hurt you or you hurt them, but no matter how it goes someone gets hurt”

He is right. Was my dilemma all this time too. But I realise now looking back at Fitz and Maggie that not living the life you want with people you love hurts just as bad. “One day-”

“Goodmorning” I turn my head to the direction Mase was looking at. SIx was walking through the doors. “How's the pain?”

“Don’t feel a thing” he winces as Mase pulls out a chair for him. “Thanks” Man of short words but Mase understood what he meant.

“We can leave whenever you feel ready” I say staying against the wall Mase once was. “Dani sent me her location, she was treated and everything is good. The agency allowed everything to fall on Lloyd but yet no mention of us”

“Brewer wanted me to work for her in exchange of Claire’s safety. She had a gun pinned to my head and I knew if I denied I was be leaving you and Claire under not only her hands but Caremicheal” I shake my head. “We need to get her out so we know she is certainly safe” he gets up making his way back into the room he was resting before. I grab my coffee taking a last sip before leaving it in the sink.

“Lover boy doesn’t have much to say does he” I roll my eyes, getting my things together. “I don’t know how people do it these days but he could atleast showed a bit of affection” I swear with the amount of time I have rolled my eyes you would have thought they would be stuck by now, atleast that what my mother used to say would happen if I kept on rolling my eyes. I ignore him waiting by the door for Six. As soon as he came out he walked straight to the door while passing Mase he shaked his hand thanking him again. I don’t know why but my eyes lowered to the floor. Maybe because now I won’t have a room to escape to. I feel a tug on my chin I only focus on his eyes before I feel his arm wrap around my waist and his lips on mine. I hold on around his neck as he dips me never pulling us apart until what feels like forever. I stayed there stunned following him with my eyes as he walks out the door.

“How's that for affection?”I smirk looking at Mase who was dying of laughter.

“That's one word to discribe that? Take care of him?” I wanted to roll my eyes but the only thing they wanted to do was get in the car and look at those pretty blue eyes.

“Thank you” I sent him a smile before walking out, closing the door behind me. I take a deep breath putting my stuff in the back seat before getting into the passenger seat. “So Claire is in someone's building, I got her location. We can take the outside stairs until level 11, that's when we have to go in before we reach the twelveth” I pull out my phone verify Claire is still in the building.

“And what is our exit plan?” I can feel him staring but I refuse to feel uneasy right now about it.

“I told you I don’t plan ahead. Plus we are not sure what will happen there. Suzzene worked with Lloyd. She isn’t as paranoid with security but I bet she has high tech things in there, not including people out on the lookout.”

“We will figure it out then” I nod. I set my phone down looking out the window waiting and hoping the trip would be cut short so we can leave out this car and help Claire. “Why did you leave?” I turned to him confused. Really now? “Lloyd knew about what happened and so did Fitzroy, why run when they have nothing against you” he blankly said staring at the road.

“Thats what Lloyd thinks, It was a cover story. They only people I told the truth was to Maggie. Then Fitzroy. If they were to capture him and make him talk, no matter if it was about me or not I couldn’t take that risk”

“What risk, they have nothing against you” I was going to put my feet down. Tell him to shut up and suck it up. I don’t habe nothing to explain myseld for but deep down I was tired. He was the first person in a long time to make me feel safe. To make me feel like I don’t have to fight alone. Maybe it was the sleep deprivation talking but I was ready to let him in.

“My sisters are alive” wow. Who knew it would be that easy? “Lloyd was part of that operation years ago. He story is true but he doesn’t know some details. After shooting my sisters I took them out the house. Thats how I met Maggie and she introduced me to Mase”

“And your brother?”

“I wasn’t faster than the flames. The house was burning up before I could move my youngest sister far enough so they couldn’t be found.”

“So Fitzroy knew this and threaten you?” I shake my head

“He told Victoria, when she cake into the hallways to speak to me that day she mentioned them. If Fitzroy told her god know who knew about them so I left to make sure they were safe.”

“So all that time you were with them?” i shake my head again

“I knew they were safe. I couldn’t risk anyone following me to where they were, I needed to keep on protecting them. So I stayed closed enough to watch them, thats when Dani found me”

“Why didn’t you go with them, I mean it's been weeks sure enough you were okay”

“I don’t know. Something in me was fighting against it. Maybe it was maggie and her words in my mind saying that I couldn’t just walk away, I knew she was right but I was too stubborn to think when all I was doing was worrying.”

“I know this is a long shot but what are you planning on once we get Claire out?” I turn to look at him. He had a smirk playing in his face. I look over to the building. One step at a time.

“Some sleep” I point over to my undereyes.

“And then?” My smile fades away turning over to him. What did he want?

“Getting you a new watch” I point out his broken and scratched up.

“It still works” he laughs.

“Lets go” We open the door making our way towards the side building by the alley. I jump to set the ladder down. We climb up making sure to avoid being seen. “After you” I say opening the window to the 11th floor. We go out the exit up the stairs. We open the door how the hall from where 3 men were on guard. Across from them was the elevator.

“Want me to take care of them?” I almost punched him in his pretty face.

“If you don’t mind kind sir” We walk out towards the two. He knocks out the first out and the second one falls victim to the first guys knife. The third one goes away easier.

“Are you stupid they are going to hear you” I say moving to open the door.

“He was a big guy, look at him,” he said in his defense. “Shooting him was the best idea, you know I am not up to stretching out my bandages” I walk in seeing Claire leaning against the window.

She ran towards us, trapping us in a hug. “Are you chewing gum?” I alsmot laugh as she gives Six a blank stare. He shakes his head but a couple second later he makes a bubble making her laugh.

“Watermelon”

“Very unhealthy” she states looking over to me.

Raise my hands up in surrender “Don’t look at me, I have no idea where he got them from, he was knocked out until a couple hours ago” Our conversation was cut short as we hear movement on the other side of the door. I rush to the window and see a fire escape but only going up. “Lets go up a floor” I nudge them leading the way. We hear gunshots behind us. I kick the window going in but surprise, of course someone is there. I run towards her, kicking her to the floor. She flips up throwing a punch my way but I block it. She pulls out a knife and with much force she pushes me against the wall. I hear my phone ring as I kick her in the middle of her legs and land a punch on her right cheek. “Hello?”

“I got you a ride on the roof” I kick the women down against the wall

“Stay down,” I sigh before going back to Dani. “You know how to fly?” I motion for Claire and Six to follow we rush towards the inside stairs going on the roof.

“You don’t?” We open the door to see her in a helicopter. “Hurry” We rush inside seeing her go up into the air.

“Fuck” I whisper holding on to the first thing I could grab which was Six’s arm. “I don’t like being in the air and I don’t like the water” I said it more like a statement, I think I was trying to convince myself it was okay.

“Can you teach me how to fly?”

“No” Six and I both say at the same time.

“Give it a couple years,” I hear Dani whisper. I hold his arm tighter. Holding on to my breath too. “Where to?” Dani says.

“Italy” I whisper towards Six.

“Italy” he repeats louder for Dani and Claire to hear.

“What's in Italy?”

Without opening my eyes I let out a sigh, “My sisters” Home.

Extra:

Once we arrived we were all tired. I made sure to secure the area just to be safe. After Maggie’s call I decided to go on with it. This was the place she secured us in, with no question. “Come in” I say, opening the doors and allowing them to come inside. It was a small villa home. Spanish inspired, two stories, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, dining and even a pool. When I first saw it in pictures I didn’t want to go through with it but Maggie promised everything was set up for as long as we wished to stay, it was ours. It is still early in the morning so the girls must be asleep.

“Nice to see you miss” I walk over to greet the woman who has been taking care of the girls while I’ve been gone. “I have some breakfast at the table if anyone is interested”

“Thank you Georgia” she nods, walking off into the kitchen. “So how about some food?” I turned to the three people behind me and I didn’t even have to utter another word as they were halfway there. I grabbed an orange and stood against the sink looking out the window towards the backyard. It was the greenest grass I have ever seen. Surrounded by trees.

“Do you want me to wake up the girls” I got out my trance as Georgia stands right beside me.

“No” I whisper. “How did they behave?” I smirk knowing they weren’t easy.

“Well the little one is always stubborn to do things and the oldest can’t understand adult things are not for her to worry about but other than that, they have been great”

“Thank you for taking good care of them” I finished my orange, wash my hands and I made my way upstairs. “Wake up!, its 10 in the morning on a sunday” Both of the roll around before their mind catch up with there ears. They sit up running towards me to give me a hug.

“We missed you!” The oldest one says.

“Look what I got!” The little one holds up her wrist full of bracelets. “Kitty got them for me”

“I got some too, I just don’t want to lose them. '' She is going to be expensive one day. She likes jewlery like if she used them everyday to be worth buying but she doesn’t. She just buys them for them to look pretty in her room.

“Isn’t that cool” I give them a smile pulling apart from them. “As much as I missed you two how about we go actually start off the day? I got some people I want you guys to meet” After that I walked downstairs with them dressed and ready for breakfast. We walk towards the dining room but I only see Six missing. “Girls, this is Dani. I used to work with her. And this is Claire, she is one of the girls I told you about” I didn’t even pay attention to them talking or when the girls sat at the table to eat when my eyes see a figure outside and I just follow it.

“They look nothing like you” I chuckle standing beside Six as he outlooks the field.

“Yeah, hopefully they don’t grow up to be like me eitheir” I sigh taking a seat on the rocking chair. “I didn’t tell them what I did or what really happen that day. They know we don’t have parents because they passed away but as long as they don’t ask questions about it I am not pushing it.”

“We won’t say a thing” I nod, feeling him come closer to seat beside me. After a moment of silence I finally spoke. “The oldest. Her name is Katherine. I used to call her Kat, made a pun out of it since she like those felines but the little one thought it didn’t match because Katherine was still little so she changed it to Kitty” I need to make a mental note to buy her a cat. She has been begging for to long and now that she is 10, I think it would be a good responsibility to take care of one. “The youngest one, her name is Valarie but we call her Bibi.”

“They seem to be getting along with Claire” I turn over to see through the window doors and see them with a smile on there face as Dani helps Georgia clean up.

“We need to talk about this” I slide my body a little to the side to look at him. “I love Claire and I would like for her to live here with us, just as much as I would like that with you” the last part I whispered. I don’t want to put anything on him. I know we havent established anything but I know we want the same thing for Claire, and that is for her to be happy and safe, enjoying the life she deserves. “We got enough rooms for everybody, I don’t want to put anything on you staying but I just want to let you know thats an option so you can be close to Claire to keep her protected.”

“Thank you.” oh god. “I think is a good idea for Claire to stay. It would be stupid to keep her away from this much safty, a place she can actually grow up with no problem” I nod agreeing to his words. “I don’t want to stay if we don’t resolve something”

“And what is that?” What's wrong now?

“Us. Look, I like you. I don’t know where this might go or how you feel about me but I have to tell you that I am willing to work for you. I don’t want to ruin this place by staying here, I know I will” I feel his hand brush softly against my cheek as he pulls my chin upwards. “Because everythime you look at me I just want to kiss you”

I grab a hold of his hand interwining them. “I like you too. How about we take this slow. A date first. Because no matter what happens you will be in my life forever, I just know it”
