I adjusted the earpiece in my ear. I scanned the room. In ten seconds they will all go to jail.

Team's settling in. Five more seconds.

The captain said in my ear. I scanned the room one more time.

Three.

Two.

And.

One.

"EVERYBODY DOWN. YOU'RE ALL SURROUNDED BY THE POLICE!" The guards clashed in. Caught them all by surprise.
That's what I thought though.

Bang.

"What the?" I mumbled to myself. We weren't supposed to shoot anyone. I looked to my left and found out it wasn't us who started shooting. It was Lucas. But no one was supposed to have a gun. That's why we chose this event to arrest them.

How did he ... my head whipped to the other side. No Daphne. No Niall. She told him. She told him? No that was not possible. She wouldn't betray us like that-

"Watch Out!" Steve, another detective pushed me on the ground.
"I thought you said they wouldn't have a gun." He said.
"Daphne betrayed us." I said.
"What?"
"She's not here. So isn't Niall."
"Oh."
"We arrested two so far."
"Good." I said.

I was feeling numb. I never thought she would betray us like that. And for that cunt Niall.
We tried not to shoot them directly so they wouldn't get injured. I need to put them all behind the bars.

One cop down.

Ambulance in is on its way.

Fuck. They shot one of us.

"Almost there. Only two are on the loose." Steve shouted.
I nodded while handcuffing Isaac.
"Fucker." He spat and I handed him to Steve.

We got a runner. East Exit.

I ran toward the direction given and saw the runner. Chloe.
I shot next to her leg. She screamed crouching down placing her hands on her head.
I walked toward her. In one swift motion she pulled out her gun that was strapped to her thigh.

"Don't Take Another Step." She warned pointing her weapon toward me.

Hazel would never do such a thing. Wait where was Hazel? I didn't see her at all today.

"I Said Don't Come Closer!"
Right. Focus on Chloe for now.
"Chloe it's over. You're surrounded. Your brothers are in the car. Your entire family is."
"I Will Shoot You." She warned once I took another step.
"No you won't." Jason, another detective, grabbed her arm and disarmed her. She yelped and thrashed around but he handcuffed her and dragged her toward the car. I walked behind them.

"Well done. I know this period of your life was hard but you succeeded." The captain said.
"No sir I have failed."
"Why would you say that?"

"Daphne has escaped with a criminal. She is the reason that they were all armed. She had told Niall, the criminal, and he had warned his family."
"Are you sure?"
"She fell in love with him. I failed preventing that."
"But we still got almost all of them. This is not your fault. You succeeded the mission. Daphne is the one who has failed. Not only she failed the mission, she has also failed her job as a detective." The captain said madly.

"One of them escaped." Steve panted.
"Which one?"
"Couldn't see his face."
"Let me see who are in the cars. I can then tell you who has escaped."
I looked at the loaded cars. Everyone gave me a deadly glare. Good. I hope they all rot in their cells.

"Elijah. He's the one who has escaped."
"What's your call?" Captain asked.
"Steve, Jason, you guys look for him. I will look for Daphne and Niall."
They nodded.
Now, where would Daphne and Niall go?

-Daphne-

Plan B. Or C. Or maybe even Z.

I don't know how long I've been driving. Or how far. I had no idea where to go or what to do. I don't even know why I did it. Tom must be furious now. So must be my captain and the rest of the team. I glanced to my right. Niall was in deep thoughts. Quiet.

"Why are you so quiet?" I asked.
"I wish you would've told me about this escape plan beforehand."
"Why?"
"I told them Daphne. I told my family and warned them. They were all armed."
I pressed the break and pulled over.
"What?"
What if Tom gets shot?

"What? You expected me to sit aside and watch my family get arrested?"
"No. Of course not. But ... what if Tom gets shot?"
If he got shot it would be my fault and responsibility.
"Relax. I told them not to shoot directly at their chest or head. Just injure them if necessary."
I closed my eyes breathing out.

"Now what?" I asked him.
He said nothing.
"I'm a criminal now. Now what do we do? Where do we go?"
"Switch places with me." He said.
"Why?"
"I know where we should go." He said.

So I did. I sat in the passenger seat while Niall sat behind the wheel. He texted someone and began driving to God knows where.

"Where are we?" I asked once I saw that he had driven us to an empty land.
"We have to get out of this country." He said.
"Oh."
"We're both suspects." He said exiting the car. I followed him behind.
"But .. where do we go?" I asked.
"We'll go to Los Angeles. I have a place there." He said.
A man walked toward us.
"Get rid of the car and the plate number." He said handing him the car keys.
He nodded and walked away.

"So I have to leave everything behind?" I asked.
He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.
"You left everything behind the second you held my hand and escaped the house." He said.
Those eyes. I did it for those eyes. And those lips. And his skin. I did it for him. And honestly, I would do it again.

So I connected my lips to his and closed my eyes. A minute later we were sitting in the private plane leaving not only the country but the entire continent.
I left everything behind for him.
And I would do it all over again if I had to.
