I've Been Found

Warning 2

I felt small kisses on my cheek and I laughed at Ray's warm breath tickling my neck.

"Morning my angel" Ray said deeply.

"Morning" I sang.

Ray laughed and grabbed a piece of bacon before I could slap his hand away.

My parents and Ray's dad went on a mission. Kora is asleep, Max went to visit Lola, Henry and Micheal are with my men and training the new comers. Jason is looking further into the maid break in. Seth is.. Asleep. Snoring loudly.

Romana and Roman are playing in the living room where I can keep an eye on them.

I've learned that Roman likes to.. Explore. As in he tried to adventure out like a pirate and do his "escape" through the window.

Thank God that Ray was outside fixing the garden with my mother or we would have never found that kid.

I told Kora about the incident and she laughed until she cried.

Ray was so mad that he pulled that stunt out of all places.

I couldn't get mad because that's what I used to do as a kid.

I smiled to myself and kept cutting up onions.

"So I was thinking about taking Roman and Romana to get Ice cream" Ray said hugging me from the back. I smiled and thought about it.

"You aren't worried?" I questioned.

It was silent and he sighed and kissed my cheek.

"I will admit. I have my hesitations but I promise you I'll protect my family with my life" Ray said smiling. I turned around and smiled at him.

He looked at my chest and smiled softly.

"You still have that necklace" he said holding it gently.

"Of course I do. That Paris trip felt like yesterday. You and me eating breakfast in that beautiful hot air balloon. Watching the sun come up. Going to the museum" I said recalling the memory vividly.

"Ugh I'm still disappointed about the Mona Lisa. I thought it was going to be huge" Ray said rolling his eyes. I laughed and patted his chest.

"Well. It was disappointing not going to sugar coat but.. Over all that was the best little trip I've ever been on. Each moment was precious" I said buttoning his shirt. He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Even your first time?" He teased with a grin.

I slapped his chest and he laughed.

"You say some of the most romantic things and ruin it but your dirty thoughts" I said pouring the onions into the skillet.

"Oh come on you know you liked it" he said smirking.

I sighed and smiled.

"Yes Ray. I did... Even though I was 18 and you was 23" I said glaring at him. "Oh wait.. I was still 17" I said staring at him.

"See your going too far. Your the one who said you was 'ready' so I did what any other man would do" he said. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"I'm messing with you Ray." I said smiling and kissing his cheek. He smiled and I felt a slap on my leg. I looked down to see a mad Romana.

"Romana why you always so mad?" Ray laughed and picked her up.

"You should have seen her when she was a newborn. She gave me so many dirty looks and side eyes. She has an attitude" I laughed and squishing Romana's cheeks. She laughed and I smiled.

"Well... She didn't get that from me" Ray said kissing Romana's cheek. I smiled but I soon realized what he said.

"What the world does that mean Diego" I said sternly. Ray cleared his throat and laughed nervously. I waited for his answer but I heard a window break. Roman raced over and hid behind my leg. I grabbed a gun from the kitchen drawer and Ray pulled out one from his pants.

"Roman. Take you and your sister and hide in this cabinet" I said pointing to a cabinet. He held Romana close and did exactly like I said.

Ray looked at me and I nodded.

He led the way upstairs carefully, with me right behind him.

I looked at Mr. Luca's room to see a brick with a piece of paper stuck to it.

"Diego" I said softly and pointing to the brick. Ray walked in quickly and grabbed the brick.

I heard a crash and we rushed down stairs to see Romana holding a pan. I sighed and laughed a bit. I picked her up and sat her on the counter.

"She kept hitting me" Roman said glaring at Romana. Romana babbled and I sighed.

"Romana quit hitting" I said grabbing her small hands. She stared at me and hit my shoulder. Roman looked displeased and I pat his head with smile.

"This is Veronica's hand writing" Ray said sighing.

"What does it say?" I questioned in shock. Veronica? Out of All People.

"Bring back what's mine. Then this was in my dad's room. There's no doubt that she means him." Ray said looking at me.

"First my dad now yours. This too much" I said sighing.

"That's not the biggest issue. Veronica is part of the French Mafia. She can get in contact with François and tell him exactly we are at. She didn't care at first that you guys was here but now that she knows my DAD is here. We got a problem" Ray said.

"She wants something now. She'll do anything to get it" I said softly.

The door opened up revealing the man of the hour.

Mr. De Luca and my parents arrived back.

"Why do you two look so.. Off? Did something happen?" My mom questioned.

"It better not be what I think it is. If I see my daughter's stomach big as a watermelon again, I will go to war and haunt you down" my dad said threatening Ray. Ray nervously laughed and I shook my head.

"No.. It's about you actually" I said pointing to Mr. De Luca.

He looked at us with question.

Ray gave his dad the letter and Mr. De Luca sighed.

"Well.. This isn't good" he said looking at Ray.
