Oceane opened up the small piece of paper Eyeball had given her, from Ace.
Till death do we part.
"What's this?" She asked as she looked up at him.
Skylar and Eyeball shrugged slightly as they shared a glance. They knew Ace was scared he was going to die. They knew he wouldn't want her involved and they knew he would sacrifice himself to save her.

It was dark as Ace walked inside and let the door shut behind him.
Reaching his arm out to the side he felt for the light switch, he'd used it so many times shutting the bar down, it was almost muscle memory.
Yet as the bar flooded with lights he didn't see his usual bar.
It had been covered with photos.
The bar had been plastered with photos of him and Oceane and every other cobra since they returned to Castle Rock.
The walls had been plastered with photos of her and Connie, her and the agents since they returned to Castle Rock.
His mouth dropped as he slowly walked forward.
There was photos of her everywhere.
Yet in the middle of the room, on a single circular table was another photo faced down.
He cautiously reached down to pick it up as he flipped it over.
A photo of Oceane and Connie looked up at him, they were leaving the dress shop with a small smile on their faces as their arms were linked.
Isn't she pretty?
Those were the words scribbled on the top.
Strike two.
Those were the words scribbled on the bottom.
Ace clutched the photo as he took off out the bar.
"STELLA!" He shouted at no-one in particular but he knew they would all hear. "He's going for her!"
Never had Ace ran so fast.
Whoever it was had taken his son.
They weren't about to take her either.
He was aware of feet running around him.
Dodging people as they all raced back home.
Ace knew they'd have no problem hurting Skylar or Eyeball to get to her.
He had to get to her first.
It had been a set up.
They knew Ace wouldn't have gone alone.
They knew he would have his team and the old agents.
They knew even Austin and Hugo wouldn't have been able to resist.
They knew Austin and Hugo would want to get AJ back just as much.
They knew she would be left with minimal guarding.
Ace practically kicked his front door in to get inside.
The cobras flooded the downstairs as Ace and the old squad leapt up the stairs.
Bursting into his room his mouth dropped seeing Oceane look up from the bed, Skylar and Eyeball stood by her side, both had their guns raised.
Though they quickly dropped them as they saw the agents flood in.
