Third Person POV

James went to hug Sam tightly before Ebony quickly put her arms out to block him. He quickly turned to glare at her before she returned the same look but with much more sass and annoyance on her face. 

"She doesn't like being hugged", Ebony said with a cold tone before James looked at her with a straight face before rolling his eyes, crossing his arms over in a huff. 

"I think I would know what Sam likes and what she doesn't like since I have known her since, like, birth, so move your arms so I can hug my best friend", He said smoothly as Sam laughed at them both, touched by their protectiveness. 

"If Sam wants a hug, I'm sure she will let you know", Jules said as she turned to face them all, giving Ebony a small look up and down to try and figure out her vibe. 

"I'm Jules, James mum and I guess Charlie and Sam's closest relative", She said to Ebony as she held her hand out for Ebony to shake. Ebony gladly shook her hand with a grin on her face as she noticed Sam's happy look on her face as she stared at Jules.

"Ebony. Her cousin and her best friend", Ebony said with confidence as Sam nodded in agreement. Ebony held her hand out towards James yet he just ignored it, rolling his eyes and staring at Sam with his own cheeky grin on his face. She huffed at him as they both stared out the window opposite each other. Sam smiled at their childishness before turning back to Jules.

"How are you darling? What's the family like?", Jules asked Sam with a kind tone as she nodded her head slowly, trying to think of the right thing to say, debating whether to mention her family or not before realising: What's the harm?.

"I'm fine I guess, the last few days have kind of sucked but I met your family", She said to her before James quickly stared at Sam in shock, almost giving himself whiplash as he breathed heavily as Jules's eyes widened. 

"You met my brothers and my father? What were they like? I've only ever heard stories about them. Were they nice? How did you meet them? Did they find you? Did they ask about me?", He asked Sam quickly, firing out questions constantly as Jules stared at Sam with pleasing eyes, almost asking Sam to tell him nothing that would put them in a bad light which was odd given her apparent hatred for them. He must have no idea who or what his family does for a living. 

"I didn't really meet them for that long", Sam said with a small smile as he nodded almost in disappointment as Jules nodded at her slightly in a thank you manner. Ebony was still in a huff as she glared out the window, upset that Sam never told her about another best friend. 

Sam turned to Ebony and nudged her shoulder in a playful manner as Ebony refused to look at anywhere but the window. Sam sighed heavily for a moment before holding her breathe and giving Ebony a small hug from behind, causing Ebony to quickly turn to her and hug her tightly, putting her head in the nook between Sam's arm and shoulder. 

After a few seconds, Sam slowly pushed her away as Ebony grinned in glee as she stuck her tongue out at James, he returned with a glare before Sam rolled her eyes and put her arms out slightly to James as he quickly hugged her tightly for a few seconds before pulling away, patting her hair in a brotherly way. 

"Nearly there", Scarface said to Sam as she nodded in excitement before Jules and Scar started a conversation, giving themselves introductions and how they knew Sam.

"How are you?", Sam asked James in a curious tone, waiting to see if he would lie to her about Jules getting hurt and if he would ask about her family and what they do for a living yet he blurted out everything in a whisper, trying to make sure Jules can't hear what he was saying as Ebony leaned in, listening intensely as James was growing on her by the second. 

"Holy crap", Ebony said once again as her mouth for hanging down in pure shock. Sam chuckled quietly that things can still shock Ebony despite knowing her family and how dangerous they were to everyone but them. James kept rambling for about ten minutes before they pulled up to a seedy motel. It looked extremely run down, with it's sign was almost coming off the wall as well as no cars were around but theirs. 

"Are we in the right place?", Ebony asked as both James and her stood up on their seats and looked around quickly, trying to spot any sign of life yet there was nothing. 

Scar face laughed at their puzzlement as Sam just stared off towards the front of the car, waiting for her brothers to appear from nowhere in their black SUV's. 

"You see that room right there?", He asked the kids as they nodded in unison with each other as Jules tilted her head to the side confused on what the hell he was on about.  Scar face made a signal with hand before the door fell to the floor and turned into a flat surface as the motel room turned from a crappy seedy place to an empty stone room.

Scar slowly drove towards the room and turned the engine off as he centered himself as the door went back up behind them. 

"What the actual fuck just happened", Ebony asked quietly as the other two laughed at her yet on the inside, both of them were bewildered with how any of that even works yet Scar just smirked at their reaction as Jules tried to remain calm, remembering how familiar this was to her by her ex-husband. She gave a quick look to Scar of panic before he put his hands in the air.

"Woah relax, I know exactly what your thinking but the Spanish was the one who stole it from the Italians, not the other way around", He said quickly as Jules nodded her head.

"What do you mean the Spanish stole it from the Italians?", James asked in a confused tone before turning to Sam and Ebony for some sort of explanation yet both of them shrugged their shoulders, unsure on what to say, do they tell him the truth? Or do they act oblivious to it all? 

"I have no clue what's going on", They both said at the same time, giving each other a serious look before turning back to the front of the car. 

Silence. 

"Okay then", James said in confused tone before turning back to the front. Sam slowly put her seatbelt on as the other two copied. After a few more seconds, Scar face put his head out the window to show his face to three different cameras before quickly putting his head back in the car and shutting it. 

A few clanks occurred  before the car started to descend into the ground slowly. 

"It's a lift!", James said with excitement as they all laughed at him with equal joy. Ebony clung onto Sam's jumper as the car went lower into the ground, slightly terrified of something going seriously wrong and the whole car plummeting to their deaths. 

As the lift came to a holt, a metal door opened at the front of the car to reveal a massive warehouse with ceilings 60 foot high, causing all of them but Scar face to gasp in shock. As they slowly drove into the warehouse, Charlie came into view with the rest of the family talking to each other or quickly discussing things on their phone.

Raymond had hooked Charlie to a medical bag as he now was applying cream to his wounds, bandages by his side as Charlie flinched back every time. Charlie looked towards the car for a slight moment out of curiosity before double backing as soon as he saw Sam in the middle seat, she however was oblivious to him. 

Charlie got up quickly as Raymond fell onto the floor from the shock of his abrupt movement.

"Sam!", He yelled towards the car as he pulled out his medical bag from his wrist and ran towards the car, stumbling as he was still dizzy, wavering slightly as he got closer. He kept yelling her name as he got closer before Sam finally heard his calls, checking in every direction for Charlie before unhooking her seatbelt and climbing out the car, falling slightly onto the concrete floor of the warehouse as she noticed Charlie running at a fast pace towards her. 

She took off running as quickly as she could towards Charlie as he opened his arms out and knelt on the ground as she ran like a lightning strike into his arms, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck as he hugged her tightly, both of them forming tears in their eyes.

"Where have you been?", She asked him in a muffled voice as her face was smothered with his shoulder. 

"I'm so sorry I left you for so long, but I have so much to tell you", He said quietly in her ear as she nodded, refusing to let go for another few minutes, which Charlie had no issue with whatsoever.
