Chapter Twenty-One / Harper's pov

Their guns are held firmly in their hands making me sigh in relief. I glance at Dianna and see her smiling. What lie is she going to come up with now.

"Oh Ethan what are you doing here?" She smiles at him but he doesn't even budge.

"Cut the bullshit Dianna!" He shouts his gun still pointed at her. This makes me smile, how did he know?

"You're coming with us as is your friend over here." Chief says pulling out two pairs of handcuffs

We were so close...

We had them.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Bryan yells as he falling to his knees coughing.

"CLOSE YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH!" I shout back but regret doing so as the gas makes its way into my system. My vision falls on Bryan and Chief, watching them gasp for air. I crawl in an attempt to get closer to one of them but soon feel my body going into a deep sleep.

She's smart, I'll give her that.

***

My head hurts like hell. Why because turns out when I was gassed out Andrew decided to take a few blows. So I woke up with a bloody nose and busted lips, as well as a headache.

I've been strapped down to a chair once again and conscious for about seven minutes. My eyes move from the door they've been glaring at towards Bryan. Watching as he breathes. He is going to complain about having to sleep on a chair. Why did he come back? Did he know something I didn't before I got on the plane?

Watching his sleeping figure I smile. When I get home, I'm taking him with me. Nor my Chief or his is stopping me.

"Davis?" Chief winches coughing.

I mumble a yes and watch as his eyes examines the place. His eyes land on Bryan and I see his face turning to worry.

"His fine. He is breathing." I reassure him.

He nods his head. And then smiles and says something I never thought I would ever hear him say. "He is definitely a keeper. He got a plane without anyone knowing. I flew here because I got a call something wasn't right. When I got here, I ran into him and he told me straight up that I don't have a say, he is coming for you and he's taking you with him. I didn't say anything, thought it was just him trying to get out of getting sent home. But on our drive here, I could see the worry and love in his eyes."

My heart flutters and I can feel tears welling in my eyes. There I go being a big baby again. But I think it's okay, because this time I found someone who truly loves me. And I know it's okay to love him back and trust him because he was an asshole when I met him. Of course I'm not just basing my love for him on that.

"Here I thought I wouldn't get any praises from you." Bryan's weak gruff voice makes both our heads snap to him and chief laughs. "Happen to come up with a plan while you admired me Harper?" He cockily ask and I roll my eyes.

"Maybe, but now I .... How did you know there was something going on between us?" I turn to Chief with both my brows raised.

He gives me an unamused look and I pout. " I haven't seen you both in months but when I got to the Vikings residence, you looked like you could kill me when I said Hills will be going back to London." He chuckles

I guess that gave us away.

"Wait I don't understand. We were suppose to stop Haze from delivering some packages. Which we did right?" I ask as I straighten myself in my chair. It's not easy.

"You did but those weren't the right ones, the Viking were smarter than us. They sent the original a week before and when the two of you had planned to go ahead with your plans, everything after was part of their plan." Chief explains and I fist my hands. So technically we didn't do what we were told twice and messed up. Now we are here, in a stupid situation. Great going us.

"So when Haze turned himself in..."

"Part of their plan." Chief says

"But what about the girls?" I question. Are they even really their children? Chief doesn't answer and I start panicking. Did they hurt them.

"Their last location was at an abandoned hotel. We assume they left them there. I did send some agents in to go get them, hopefully they safe at station. To sum it up, they took orphans to pose as their children. They had them for six month and gave no mind, they just used them."

I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. Just tears from my eyes as I start crying. How could someone be so darn heartless.

"That's sick. Those bastards are going to get it. Do you by any chance now their real names Chief?" Bryan hisses

"Lily and Leila." He smiles. " Alright we need to make sure we get out of here. After all we have a war to stop."

What war? What the actual hell is really going on here? I throw a questioning look towards Chief.

"We sorry for not letting you know the truth but they lunching  an attack on Ethiopia." Chief says
