Hailee's POV

1 day earlier

I prayed for my girl's safety as she slowly walked inside to examine the noise we heard. All of a sudden I heard two men yelling something indiscernible and the sound of a loud thud as if a significant weight had been dropped on the ground. All of a sudden, before I could move a muscle, two men in ski masks burst on to the balcony where I was standing, effectively trapping me in place.

"Miss Steinfeld, do not be afraid. We are not going to hurt you, of that, you can be sure. I'm Assistant FBI Special Agent In-Charge at the New York Field Office Jubal Valentine and this is Special Agent Omar Zedan. You can relax, we're here because our Executive Director has spoken with your parents and they have agreed on deal that is centered around you. It was our understanding that you had no desire to join our ranks and that of course, is your right. However, in the eyes of our director, you needed a special reason for discharge and that reason as put forward by your parents was love. Being in love interferes with an FBI Agent's duties and thus exempts you from qualifying as an Agent. It's partially why I'm divorced myself and he's single." The older gentleman says.

"O-okay, what does have to do with me?" I ask, shaking with fear.

"Calm down, Miss Steinfeld. We have no intentions of harming you, I guarantee you that. This involves you because this a test to show you really are in love with Miss Y/LN. As such, your parents and the director have agreed to stage a kidnapping of you. If she's really in love you, her grief will become apparent and that's something you can't hide or fake." Special Agent Zedan says.

"Okay, I'll do it, but please don't hurt her. She means the world to me."

"Miss Y/LN will be fine. Just leave a message for your friend upstairs on the counter and we'll be on our way." Special Agent in Charge Valentine says. I nod and quickly scribble a note on a notepad left conveniently on the counter. Once that was one, I follow both men out the front door and in to their SUV, seated next to an unconscious Y/N. As we drive, something else popped in to my mind.

"Did Nikki know about this?"

"Yes, she did. After she left the house though."

"The package, you guys set it all up, didn't you? To make sure that we were alone, so that Nikki couldn't interfere." Special Agent Zedan sighs.

"Sometimes you're too smart for you own good. Nikki didn't approve of our plan, and we can't blame her for saying no after what happened. She too fell in love like you, but after she had been on the force. It wasn't easy for her, but she had a choice to make, either end the relationship and stay in the bureau or resign. Nikki resigned and left the country with her boyfriend. She didn't want you to through the same thing, having the bureau choose your life and whether you had the right love for you. She had a good heart and wanted freedom for you and Miss Y/LN. We're just arriving at the airfield now, Miss Steinfeld." Mr. Valentine explained. As soon as the vehicle came to a stop, Mr. Zedan exited first and quickly opened my door for me while Mr. Valentine carried Y/N toward the private jet. I slowly stepped out of the car and was almost deafened by an unknown sound.

"GET IN! NOW!" Mr. Zedan yells, roughly tossing me back in to the car and slamming the door shut. I clenched my eyes shut, my heart pounding as I waited for my impending doom. But that never happened, instead a short while later, everything was dead silent.

"Miss Steinfeld!? Are you alright?" Mr. Valentine ask worriedly.

"I'm fine thank you." And that was true, all I had were minor scratches and bruises from being thrown to safety.
