I grit my teeth as I stare at the dark haired, slightly greying man in-front of me, the sight of him was beginning to knock me sick.

All I could think about was his hands hurting my best friend, but I had to refrain all of my hatred at-least until Lucas is home.

'Autumn, you look like you have something to say.'

I shake my head, 'No, I don't. I have nothing to say to you.'

Ryan sighs loudly, 'And the bitchy attitude returns.'

I force a sarcastic smile onto my face, 'Sorry, shall I be more welcoming to the man who used to physically abuse my boyfriend?'

'You're on your fucking final warning.'

'Or what? Are you going to hit me too?'

'I'm being serious, stop it.'

Sammy nudges me with a wary look on his face, 'I know this isn't easy but it's all we've got.'

I allow my body to deflate as my shoulders sag, 'You're right, I'll keep my comments to myself...for now at least.'

Ryan rolls his eyes, 'That's all I ask.'

Rocky coughs awkwardly, 'So you had a plan?'

'We leave at midnight, I've spent the past few days monitoring ever move they make and at midnight there is a three minute gap while they swap over guards and that's our perfect opportunity.'

Sammy's eyes widen, 'W-What happens when we go inside?'

'We get Lucas and get the fuck out of there.'

'What if someone sees us?''

'They will.' Ryan states bluntly before he throws his duffel bag on the table, he reaches inside of it and pulls out three guns and gently slides them over to us, 'That's why for the rest of the day, I'll be teaching you three fuckers how to shoot.'

A strangled noise escapes Sammy's lips as his face pales dramatically, 'Y-You want us...to use a fucking gun?!'

'It's a precaution, I recommend if you can to leave the killing to me, I'm already going to hell, you may as well save yourselves.'

Rocky runs his hands over his face, 'I can't fucking shoot someone, I've got a daughter at home, I can't let her grow up without a dad. I'd rather fucking die then let her memory of me being a murderer.'

'Don't use the gun then, it's your funeral.'

I purse my lips together as I place the gun in my hand, I cock an eyebrow before slowly lifting it up until the barrel is staring directly at Ryan's temple, 'I'm sure if I imagine you as a target it'll be easy.'

'I thought you said they would be no more comments from you.'

I shrug, 'I couldn't resist.'

'You're lucky my son likes you, otherwise you'd be six feet under.'

I place hand to my face as a sugary sweet smile appears on my lips, 'I adore this bonding time that we share together.'

'Sam, shut her up.' He hisses.

Sammy warily places a hand on my elbow, 'Autie, stop.'

I clench my jaw as I shake my head, 'No, I'm not going to fucking stop. I've spent my entire life in fear because of men like fucking you. You think that your aggression and anger shows power but all it shows is weakness.'

'What the fuck would you know about power?'

A shaky breath escapes my lips, 'I know more than you fucking do. I wake up every day terrified yet I still manage to get out of bed, I'd say that's pretty powerful.'
