*WARNING*: Verbal Assault. Panic Attack (?)

Normal POVs:

I'm freaking out on the inside. 'How? Who told them?' I questioned. As I excused myself to go talk to the officers, I started to get this unpleasant gut feeling. "Mx.Rodríguez, right?" He asked with some authority in their voice. "Yes, Officer?" "I'm officer Goods and this is my partner officer Smith." "What's your plan, Rodríguez? They asked. "Clear a path for Mrs. Olsen and Mrs. Johannson. Be alert, my child is with them. Get them into Ms. Martinez's vehicle." 'Get them home safe at *their home address*." I continued earning nods while I explained. "What about you, Rodríguez?" "Don't worry about you. I'll create a slight distraction. So be prepared when that distraction ends." They nodded.

I go back to my family to explain the plan. This is shitty on Scar's birthday, really? "So you guys understand this, right?" "Why can't you join us?" Scarlett asks, nervously. "I can't, there isn't any room left in Nicole's car. Plus, I'm the distraction for a bit." "Rodríguez, we're ready." We hear Officer Goods yell. "Be safe, ok?" Scar whispers as the others followed Goods. "I promise, I'll see you soon." I comfort her as much as I could. "Mija, remember what I told you." "Yes mama, i love you." I nodded at Nicole. "See you in a minute," I whispered as I get my helmet on. After clipping Scar's helmet to my pant, I head out with an officer.

"CAP" "CAPTAIN" "Rodriguez, let us see your face." " Murderer" "Who's James?"

I can feel the adrenaline rush through my body. I get to my Harley, turn it on, and back up.

"Come on, tell us. Murderer."

I quickly get out of there. 'This isn't how this day supposes to go' Before I head home, I need some time alone. I head to my spot when I get there, I get my pack of cigarettes after turning off the bike, I need this. After getting a good hit, I decided to text Scar letting her know that I'm safe but needed some time alone. Right after sending it, I see 'Call from Riggs' and I immediately get goosebumps. 'Here we go again."

Lieutenant Colonel Riggs: Captain *sighs*, the general called about an hour ago.

Me: just get to the point Ethan.

Lieutenant Colonel Riggs: I'm sorry, Y/N/N. You're being deployed to Afghanistan. You leave tomorrow at 0630.

Me: For how long?

Lieutenant Colonel Riggs: A year.

Me: Roger that Colonel, I'll see you soon.

After Hanging up, I let my emotions out. 'I can't go back there.'

Third-Person POV:

It's now late about 11 pm. Everyone is in their comfy outfits, still worried about Y/N. Elena fell asleep after Lizzie sang to her. Lizzie's in the living room with Robbie and Nicole, while Scar's impatiently pacing from the living room to the kitchen. "Scarlett, you're making me dizzy. Come sit with us." Lizzie asks as she drinks her well-deserved wine. "No buts, come sit and I'll bring you a drink. How does that sound?" Lizzie continues as she gets up. "Ok." After Lizzie finished making Scarlett's drink, they hear the front door's handle move. Scarlett immediately stood up, followed by the others. Y/N slowly enters with no emotions present. "You're ok, thank god," Nicole says breaking the silence. "I thought you guys were asleep already." They said as they put the helmets down. "And leave you alone after what happened? No." Lizzie says from the kitchen. "What happened? Oh yeah." Y/N was too in thought with their deployment that they forgot the previous events. Everyone was confused about Y/N's tone of voice. It's like they lost all their worth. "Y/N/N, are you ok? What happened?" Scarlett says sensing that there's something more in their mind. "I need a drink first." They walked to the kitchen, getting a bottle of neat scotch and a chilled 8 oz glass. "No." Nicole realized what was happening. "Y/N/N" Nicole tries to get Y/N attention. Failed. They're so out of it, after serving themselves. "I got the call, Nicole." They said while their voice breaks as they walked to the couch. "What call?" "What's happening?" The others asked, confused about what they were seeing.
