"No! You will never take my child away from me. Leave my child alone!" Jackie screams, holding onto her son tightly and pointing her gun at us.

"Put the gun away and let's talk like civil adults." Jason tells her, all of the agents points their guns at her and Graves.

"I am done talking. Talking has not changed the fact that my husband is dead. Now, you want to take my only flesh and blood away from me? You have to kill me before that happens." She does not listen and denies everything that we are saying to her.

"We understand that your husband is gone. Dawn apologized so many times and wanted to move on from the situation. I feel like you should do the same as well." Meline tells her.

"How can I move on? He was the love of my life and the man who provided for us. Nothing or no one will replace him. I will never move on from him." She said.

"That is the problem. You do not know how to let someone or a terrible situation go. If your husband saw what you were doing now, he would be highly disappointed." Seni chimes in.

"Shut up! None of you do not know what type of man my husband was. You treated him like a monster and you're making assumptions of how my husband would react. You all do not know anything!" She said.

"You can say whatever you want about us, but what we do know is that you need to put your gun down and let go of your child." Meline commands.

"Well, what is going to happen if I do decide to follow your command? You're just going to arrest me." She speculates.

"We are not the police. We do not arrest people." I tell her. She looks at me with utter disgust when I spoke. She aimed her gun right at me and is giving me the meanest look I have ever seen.

"That's right, you do not arrest people. Only true heroes do that. You all rather kill me in front of my son." She said, trying to gaslight us.

"None of us said that. We are not killers!" Jason said.

"I do not know about the rest of you, but I do know that Dawn killed my husband right in front of my son. He will be forever traumatized by that horrific incident." She attacked me with her words, painting me as the villain.

"You have caused more trauma to your son than what I did." I stand up for myself, not going to let her continue gaslighting me and make me look bad.

"How so?" She asks.

"You shot up my entire family's house, you killed and injured a lot of people, you held us into bondage, and you constantly put the blame on us. You have set so many bad examples for your son. Do you want your son to grow up like you and your late husband, two selfish criminals?" I lashed out on her. I had enough of her talking and her manipulation. I am going to be brutally honest with her.

"I cannot believe you called my husband a criminal." She is in disbelief.

"Yes, I said it. He is a criminal!" I get closer to her and yell louder, showing no signs of fear. She is still pointing her gun at me, but that does not affect me anymore.

"You better backup and take back what you said about my husband!" She threatened, but I ignore her.

"You treat your husband like he was some type of angel, but in reality, he was a demon. I do not care if you find my comments to be offensive, I do not care about you or your feelings anymore." I am getting angrier at her.

"I should shoot you right now!" She continues to threaten, but I am not backing down from her. I am almost close to her face.

"Do it already! You always say that you're going to kill me, but I am still alive. You know deep down that you can't kill me. If you kill me, you will traumatize your son even more and you will end up just like me. Do you really want to ruin your entire life and make your son despise you forever by killing me?" I question her. She is furious that I am not fearing her and not holding back my thoughts. It makes me happy that I am getting under her skin. She has caused so much pain in my life and everyone else's, now it's time for her to taste her own medicine.

"If you don't step back now, Graves and I will kill you in the most gruesome way possible. Trust me, you will beg for us to stop. So get away from us!" She yelled.

"You and Graves do not scare me anymore. You may think you are high and mighty because you killed and injured people I cared about. But there is only two of you and a bunch of us. Even if you kill me, all these trained agents will kill you just as well. The best thing for you and Graves to do right now is drop your weapons, let go of your son, and lay down on your stomach until Agent Snipe arrives." I commanded them.

"You know you what, if you want my son so badly, how about I kill him?" She points the gun at her son's head. Everyone gasps and gets closer to her with their guns.

"What are you doing?! Stop it!" I freaked out. My heart started to race again when I saw her harming her son. Jacob does not deserve this treatment.

"Why should I stop? You all think I am a terrible mother who does not know how to take care of her own flesh and blood. Since you all want to kill me so badly, it only makes sense that my son should die too." She has lost it. Jacob is crying and shaking with fear.

"Put the gun down and let go of the child!" Jason yelled and commanded.

"You just do not get it. Dawn killed my husband and now you want to kill me. Why not kill my son as well? You already destroyed our family, why not kill everyone and get it done?" She has turned into a psychopath with the way she looks and is treating her son. Graves is just sitting there doing nothing, he is not trying to stop her at all. They are both messed up in the brain. But Jackie is making the worst decision of her life.

"If you kill your son, we have no choice but to kill you." Meline tells her.

"Go ahead, kill me! I want to die! I want to be with my husband. My life is already ruined thanks to Dawn, so killing me would be the best thing ever." She said, tears running down her face. She is in shambles. I should feel bad because she has suffered a lot and I would feel sad if I lost someone important to me. But I could not care less how she feels. She treated everyone so poorly that I do not really care if she lives or dies.

"All we just want you to do is let go of your son and cooperate with us. We do not want to kill you, we are just saying that as a fear tactic to let go of your son. His protection is all that we care about right now." I tell her.

"I understand now..." She cryptically said, putting her gun down. We all question what is going on with her. I do not know if she changed her mind or if this is some type of trick.

"What do you understand?" I ask her. Giving her a strange look, not trusting her at all.

"Since you love children so much and hate mothers, how about you protect this?!" She shoots her gun and lands a bullet on Kadie's arm. I am left stunned that she would do such a thing. My sister is screaming in agony as the agents take care of her. Graves ran away since no one was paying attention to him. I had no choice but to tackle Jackie on the ground and attack.
