I Have To Win

A month later. At the balcony of Nick's room.

Nick walked out to the balcony "you okay?"

I shook my head "no"

Nick "you wanted to see me?"

Me "Gomez is gonna attack soon"

Nick asked confused "how do you know?"

I sighed "Because our wedding anniversary is next week"

Nick didn't like the sound of that at all but he tried to play calm "what makes you think he'll attack on that day?"

Me "because he's always liked a bit of drama. And what's more dramatic than starting a war for your wife on your wedding anniversary"

He looked at me "we have to prepare"

I nodded "we have"

Nick "I called Shay, she should arrive any second"

I froze "you what?"

Suddenly I caught Colby's scent.

Nick "Cat?"

I speeded downstairs and to the driveway.

Colby got out of the car and saw me.

His face lit up and he ran to me "Cata"

I hugged him "hey, champ"

Then I looked at Shay with a what the hell look.

Shay shrugged helpless.

Nick came out with Seth and Scott.

Their jaws dropped when they saw Colby.

Scott "Cata, please tell me that's not your devils spawn with Gomez"

I glared at him '"the math wouldn't add up, idiot"

Colby looked at me "I missed you"

I smiled "I missed you too"

Nick to Shay "you have got some explaining to do"

Shay nodded "I know"

Nick's office.

Colby was downstairs with Fer and Camilo .

Nick "so he's your son with Gomez?"

Shay nodded "that's what I just told you"

Nick "but why did you never say anything?"

Shay shrugged "to keep him safe"

Me "David said that he sent you away. Someplace safe"

Shay nodded "oh, yeah, he sent us to Brazil. I didn't like it there. So why did you call me here, Nick?"

Nick "I wanted to ask you for help to fight Gomez but now that we have his son here-"

Shay and I shook our heads "no"

Nick raised an eyebrow.

Shay snarled "don't you even dare touching my son, Nick"

Me "she's right. We are keeping him out of this"

Nick looked at me surprised "you care about him"

I nodded "of course, I care. I spent five years with boy – I helped raising him. We are not using him against his own father"
