The Bradford's

Take Down Part 1

Today is the day... we are going to try lure the gang to me and Tim is insisting on being hidden in the background. Instead of a block away...
"GET IN HERE." Tim yelled from somewhere in the house I run towards his voice and find him in the kids room and there gone...
"That fucking bastard," I fall to my knees and stomp to the living room.
"What the hell where you doing when my kids were taken." I shove the cop supposed to be on kid duty into a wall.
Tim's talking on the but pulls me back off of him.
"Let's go... there sending a team to the Braga house to do a sweep. I'm leading it."
"I want him held until his background checks come back... both times the kids were at risk he was supposed to be watching them. I find him out here sitting in front of the fucking TV." I smack the man across the face again.
"Fine. Get him there hand him off to someone you trust tell them I authorized it and get to this address. We're getting our kids back and those assholes off the streets." Tim kisses me quickly and I take the officers belt off him. Cuff him with his own cuffs and put him in the back of his car and drive him to Midwilshire. I call IA fill them in quickly and then hand the man off to one of officers that Tim told me was cleared.
I kept think of how his face showed up when every time something with the Braga's happened... when me and Tim were kidnapped he was marked as first officer on the scene. When we were trying to escape, again. He was supposed to be keeping permitter the day of the break in... during my thinking I made it to the take down and saw Tim doing what he does best... "no matter what we don't shoot unless we know my kids are safe in there!" He yelled. Lopez pulled him back and they made there way over to me.
"Tim you shouldn't be leading this, let me take over, you can join the line with Lucy." She looked at us with her caring love filled eyes.
"You know better than anyone I can stay levelheaded and focus on the task at times like this... so you can either let me lead or you can use your upper hand to over ride me. But there your Godchildren. Is this really any different." I stared off into the distance listening to them talk.
"Take the lead papa," she held her hands up and back away.
"You okay Luce?" I shook my head to clear the fog taking over.
"Yeah, yeah I'm good. Let's go."
"We got them Luce, just stay in line. When we find them you go straight to them if you can ..." he kissed my forehead and we got in our line. I went behind him. He signaled to move forward. We moved in our line down the street. My heart pumping in my chest. I felt the anxiety with each step I took. Remembering how my husband was beat half to death for me, in front of me by the same people holding my kids hostage. I can only hope they have a bigger heart for my kids than they did for us. As we get closer and pause outside the door I mentally prepare myself for what we are about to see inside. I feel my shoulder tapped as I let out a breath I tap Tim's shoulder in front of me to show him I'm ready as well as everyone behind me, and in seconds I hear the door open as Tim shouts LAPD. Our team floods the house and I scan the room for the kids... I don't see them.
"Clear the rest of the house and don't forget the basement."
Tim holds the two in the main room at gun point. I point to him and signal for the officer behind me to stay here.
I sweep through the house with the rest of the charge line behind me.
"Clear." Echoed all over meaning the rooms were empty and the kids weren't there. I open the basement door and take a hesitant step forward. I hear crying.
"Down here." I yell. Tim is soon with me and we walk down, 2 officers behind us. I have my gun drawn but down so I don't scare Lila. Tim steps in front of me pushing me back but not enough that I can't see.
I see Lila standing against the wall crying . But I don't see Logan.
I run over to her and she climbs into my arms.
"Where's Logan baby."
"The scary guy took him because he wouldn't stop crying mommy." She sobbed and I held onto her tightly. As I watched Lopez enter the room , Tim came over and hugged us both.
"I'll find him. We'll find him. Let's get you back to the station."
"Wait they kept talking about the room. They they took him to a room. They didn't go upstairs... but they never left."
At that a brick moved and then the whole moved revealing 4 masked men with guns.
"I finally got you ... what a lovely family reunion." A sickly low voice said to us. Tim pushed me and Lila back and stood in front of us. Lopez had her gun drawn. And there was only one other officer in here.
"The doors shut. We're stuck in here." He said.
