where are you?

 ~Sang POV~

I hate this house. I hate what it represents in my life. I hate the memories I have of it. Why did they do this to me? Nope! Stop! We can pity party later. I know that bitch Constance did this. She was angry last year when she realized the boys were off the market. I don't think she cared which one of the boys her niece got just as long as it was one of them. My team has a name for pulling off big jobs. Jobs that most teams don't stand a chance of completing. When she realized Emily wasn't getting a chance with any of my boys she was seriously upset and said it would never work. She must have got the Board to rethink their decision to let us be. I was going to beat her at this. 

As we pull into Nathans old driveway I glance at Marie's house. Dad put it in her name once she turned 18. I haven't seen or spoken to her in 5 months. She was done with me before I ever moved out but we still had to see each other till the boys finished the Ashley Waters job. 

"Corey you are going up with me. Sean you stay and keep watch at the side of the house. "

My phone beeps and i quickly check it.

"Sang we are at the shool. The boys are in the back bathrooms of the girls locker room. Victor and Kota are still out. Silas and Nathan are awake and pissed. We will meet you back at the house. Good luck." Axel is always quick and to the point. 

I put my phone away and signal to go. We sneak to the house and Sean helps me up to the roof. Corey quickly follows me up. We move to the window and I look in. Nothing has changed since the last time I was here. After Marie's mother died last year she took over the downstairs bedroom so we should be fine. The window opens silently and I'm through. Corey follows swiftly after. Going to the little door I can't help but think about how much has changed in the last year and a half.

Crawling in I find legs. Those boots have got to be Norths. I remember him and Meanie fighting last time we had a formal dinner out because North wouldn't change out of his boots. I feel North tense up and I can tell that he is awake already. I feel another body next to him but its lax. Must still be out from the drugs.

Crawling up and over North I get to his head and pull off the cloth around his mouth and instantly place my hand over it. 

"North be quiet. I don't want Marie to know we are here."

He shakes his head an I move on to the other body. I smell spring soap and I know its Owen. I check for a pulse and find a strong one. I reach down and cut norths restraints first then go to work on Owens. I quickly crawl over and out leaving North room to work his body out of the tight spot. Working together we drag Owen out. He moans and we pause. Corey and North work Owens body out the window and across the roof. Handing him down to Sean. We swiftly return to the vehicle and leave.

I glance in the review mirror watching North and Sean communicate. When will they learn I can read them now. My idiot boys are worried about me. But I can't let go till I see all of them together safe. We drive into the night as silent as we were in the house. 

~Norths POV~ 

I want to squeeze the sh** out of her. I just need to know that he is okay. Sang baby looks like one of those really pretty dolls that is dressed to kill. She is throwing off all kinds of don't mess with me vibes. I would have pulled her onto my lap except Sean gave me a death look for thinking it. Something is very wrong with my baby. This is sh** someone shooting us with tranq darts and putting us in her old attic! Who would do this. Scaring my baby like this is not okay. I'm going to mess that fuc*** up when I find out who.

~Sangs POV~

I hear another moan and turn around. And I'm caught. Those damn silver eyes of his. They are like life to me. I can read so much in those eyes right now. Pain, anger, love, and for a moment I saw fear. What does he have to be afraid of.

~Owens POV~

My head is going to explode. I've got to stay calm and keep it together. When I looked up after watching North fall I almost lost it. There standing in the parking lot with a tranq gun was Miss. Emily Fulbright. In that split second before she she shot me a I hit the ground all I could think was my poor Dove was going to be so angry when she figures this out. I knew she would. She has always been academy. From day one she took everything in stride and just kept going when circumstance and life tried to push her back. I knew Constance wasn't going to just let my whole team go without a fight but I didn't think they would leave Sang defenceless. We always have one other person with us. We never go it alone. Why would Constance bend the rules like that?

One look at Sangs face and the story was told. Constance had Hell coming for her and it was going to take everything in me to keep her from bringing the academy to its knees.

"Report Miss. Sorenson." I state it very clipped and matter of fact. Hoping she has the strength to not fall apart yet.

"I will report when I see all of you together Owen and not a minute before. Please sit calmly and get feeling better. We have work to do tonight and it won't wait."

I sit back a little stunned. She has never spoken to me with that authoritative tone before. Its different. Its kinda hot! Glancing to the side I see Sean and North are thinking the same thing as I. Glancing to the front I see Corey smirk at me in the review mirror. I give him a very stern look but he just rolls his eyes and continues driving. 

The silence for once is irritating me and I can tell North is barely hanging on. As we pull up the drive I am out of the suburban in a flash and in the house. I need to take stock before Sang gets inside. It looks like I have to do damage control for the academy.

As I rush in I meet Axel in the middle of the Foyer for a report. 

~Sang POV~

I slowly follow the boys in. Corey gives me a hug. And walks back out the door. Raven comes for a hug and I can't help but grin. 

"Little bird I am so proud of you. We make  good team. Give these boys trouble!" 

"That's not hard for her since that's what she is." Gabe and his smart mouth need to go sit down. I give him a look and he gives it right back. 

"Sang call me tomorrow! I know your tired and have a lot going on so we will go."

I don't have to say anything. I just nod. With hugs from all of the team the file slowly out the door. Axel is last. He whispers as he hugs me.

"Sang I know this scared you but don't block them out. This is just as tough for them maybe even harder. They love you and you can only succeed if you do it together." I just nod at him. What can I say to that. But as he leaves I feel myself ice over again. I have to explain what and why without breaking down. Then Constance will be seeing me!
