I motion for Jasper to follow after me. He quickly runs across the open field of view and ducks behind the hedge where I am waiting.

I peek out from behind the glistening grassy leaves and when no one is looking in our direction I move into the field of view and run behind the corner of the house where I'm once again hidden. I'm getting closer and closer to Aiyden with each step which also means I'm getting closer and closer to Mikhail with each step.

I can't say I'm not nervous. I've been avoiding this man for years and for good reason. I'm fully convince he's a psychopath.

Given the choice, I would've never left my son alone with that monster. I'm nervous that Aiyden will be traumatised or permanently scarred.

My heart is racing and my palms are sweating but I know I need to keep my head in the game.

A moment later, Jasper follows after me and we're both tucked away, hidden behind the wall.

We both look at each other for a moment, silently confirming that we're ready to act.

We rush around the corner and before anyone is even aware of our presence we drop three of the guards to the floor. Alarmed and on high alert, the other guards quickly turn around ready to shoot.

They fire a few shots which miss before Jasper and I take them down with our suppressed guns. They're quick but we're quicker. The loud noise of their guns makes me cringe as we're trying to keep a low profile. This is a rescue mission. I don't want Mikhail to know that we're here until we're gone.

Jasper and I move swiftly into the house. We scan our surroundings before moving once again, further through the labyrinth. We're kind of going in blindly because we don't know the layout of Mikhail's house or where Aiyden could be but we're working with limited time and resources. We sneakily move through the house with soft, quiet footsteps.

There isn't that many people we come across inside the house, I really hope this isn't a trap. Then again, I would run head first into a trap if it meant Aiyden was safe.

We dodge past the few people we see and manage to get through practically undetected. I wish Mikhail's house was smaller and thus easier to search, it would make life a lot easier.

We peek our heads into doors but each room we pass is void of people.

As we walk further and further into the house the mumble of voices in the distance gets more and more audible.

"You always pull stupid shit like this." I just about hear through the walls.

Something compels me to walk closer.

"I do?" Now that I'm closer I can hear Mikhail is the one to reply. "You're the one that married that manipulative whore." He states. My blood boils.

I put the pieces together and realize he must be talking to Anatoly, to whom I'm married to.
