LEXI'S P.O.V.

Past month Clark and I have been working almost every day on trying to find Jaden, but nothing. The only thing we know from where is email sent and that Jaden is still alive. At least I hope he is.

*you got a new email*

New notification popped up on my MacBook.

For a second I thought nothing of it and almost walked out of the kitchen with my cup of coffee. But then I quickly walked back to check if it's something about Jaden.

As I thought, it was an unknown address so I immediately opened it.

"They plan on starving him to death, because he doesn't want to fulfill the agreement that they had. You need to hurry up."

My heart started racing faster, I thought it would jump out.

I quickly send myself that on the phone and to Clark. I told him to locate the email while I drive.

Hopefully it's sent from same café because that's where I am heading to right now.

Driving as fast as I could not to cause any mess on the road, I made it to the café.

Seeing the tattooed man that Clark and I thought was suspicious when we got camera video, I immediately ran to him.

He was just about to sit in his car.

"Sir! Excuse me sir! Did I just receive your-"

He was quick to cover my mouth, while his other hand held my upper arm.

He showed me the tiny microphone on his shirt, meaning that someone is listening to the conversation.

Then, he was quick to put the finger on his mouth to tell me to remain silent as he removed hand from my mouth.

He rolled up his sleeve, pointing to one tattoo.

The design was really familiar to me, but I couldn't get where I saw it.

He then just sat in the car and drove off.

I grabbed my phone, wanting to dial Clark's number, but my phone started ringing showing his name on it.

"Hey Clark-"
"It's same café-"
We both started at the same time.
"I know I am in front of it. It is the tattooed guy that sent me both email's."
"How do you know?"
"I met him in front of the café, he was about to drive off. I ran after him, but as soon as I approached him he covered my mouth. He had the microphone on so we couldn't talk. Only thing he showed me is his tattoo. Probably the mafia cover."
"Come to my office, we will search it up."
"On my way."

I hung up, going quickly to my car and driving to Clark's office.

MICHAEL'S P.O.V.

I walked downstairs to find mom. I wanted to ask her if I could go out again with the crew, because she told me I can't go for some time - which was a month ago, when I used drugs.

I walked in the kitchen, but seeing that she isn't there, I just opened fridge to grab some soda.

My eye noticed her laptop opened, so I just took a quick look because I know she never leaves it like that on the kitchen counter.

"They plan on starving him to death, because he doesn't want to fulfill the agreement that they had. You need to hurry up."

Huh? Starving who? What agreement? Why does she need to hurry up? Who is this about?

I dialed her number to see where she is.

"Hey Mikey."
"Momma, where are you?"
"In car, why?"
"I was looking for you everywhere."
"Oh my God, I'm sorry I didn't say anything, I was in rush. Sorry baby."
"Yeah, no, it's fine."

It's kinda not, she's been doing that for the past month. But I won't go into her business, it's just that she's always doing something, home or not. She didn't really have that much time with us three. But I guess it's whatever.

"So, uh, mom, not that I go through your stuff, but like, it was already opened. What is this email you received about? It sounds kinda dangerous."
"Oh, shit," I heard her mumble on the other side of the phone, "It's a long story. Doesn't really matter. Don't worry about it."
"Who is starving who?"
"Doesn't matter Mikey. You don't need to worry about it, trust me."
"Whatever. I guess you do your stuff. It would be nice if you would get home tonight before 11pm."

I hung up on her, sighing. She is my mom and I love her to death, but I don't know what is up with her this past month.

She kinda drifted away from Mason, Josie and me. Maybe she found a new boyfriend? I don't know what would I think about it because no one can replace dad, but if she's happy all of us would be happy for her.

Then again, when did we stop telling everything to one another? We were always really opened family, with or without dad. I'm really mad right now.

LEXI'S P.O.V.

Shit.

I'm a terrible mom. He's now really upset.

And why would leave that email opened?

Jesus this thing about Jaden fucked me up even more.

I know I really neglected kids the past month. But I am just really trying hard to get Jaden back. So it's something for them too.

"Hey Lex, come on, let's get Jaden back."
Clark hyped me when I walked in his office after knocking on the doors.

"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"You sure? Is it about Jaden?"
"Nah, I mean, it's Michael. He got mad at me through the phone. I neglected them the last month. I'm a terrible mom."
"Ohh. You're not a terrible mom, you're just trying to get their dad back. They will appreciate it once we finish this agony."

I sighed, sitting on the chair that he pulled closer to him to I could see his computer.

"So, what was the tattoo?"
"It was- it was something like hand boxer and a rose, I'm pretty sure."
"Okay, let me search it up."

Some time passed while we waited for site to find that mafia that took Jaden away.

"Oh, there you go."

My mouth fell open, while I heard Clark gasp.

I couldn't believe the name of the mafia.
