24: MAMA AND BAMBI

Mackenzie's POV

     "YOUR brother—when he had gone to Houston to inform the target, was it the hospital he had gone to?" I pushed to the edge of the couch

"Yes" Dante answered and looked at me probably wondering how I knew

Now it all started to add up in my head. The picture of the twin brothers I had seen in Dante's room the first time I came here. Now I remember where I'd seen that face

"So he is your brother and he's dead?" I couldn't even say how heartbroken I was. This was why I couldn't even find him for years. I couldn't find them

"What do you mean?" Dante asked back before I told him everything I remembered

"Bambi we promise we're going to be back before you know it. Mama and papa have to make the last round and we're going to have dinner together okay?" mama said and I pouted

"You look so cute" papa littered my cheeks with kisses before they walked out together. Everything was quiet before suddenly they was noise and stomping around. It started to get so hot and the fire alarm went off before water started pouring. I rushed out of papa's office to look for my parents

I can see many people running out of the hospital but I didn't want to leave without mama and papa. I took a few steps before a hand grabbed me by the waist. The person lifted me and went to the direction of the doors. I couldn't stop the wails that was emitted from me when I saw the explosion of the fire

I can't leave here without mama and papa. They have to be here with me but I'm leaving without them. I was finally put down and I looked at the man who was staring back at my wet clothes and face

"Where's mama and papa? They asked me to wait for them. They must be looking for me. Please take me to them" I cried and tried to go back to the blazing building

"Hey you can't go back. I'll go look for your parents and you stay right here okay?" The tall man said and I shook my head in disagreement

"I want to go with you"

"You..." he started but his phone started beeping and he answered it "Marco. Marco?!" I guess he couldn't hear the person talking because of the noise so he moved the phone from his ear and put it on speaker

"What the fuck are you doing Dario? Your line went off" the person from the other end shouted

"Marco there's no time to explain all this okay but there's a fire and I need to help those still inside"

"You're fucking asthmatic Dario so stay outside and fucking wait for the firefighters!" The other man yelled through the phone again

"Many would lose their lives before they get here...speak to her and I'll get her parents..." he gave the phone to me "...he's my brother and he'll make you feel safe. I'll go get your parents" he said before running inside the building again

I looked at the lit phone and brought it to my ear "Hello" I said and sniffled. When I didn't hear anyone talk back, I almost cried. I was feeling so scared

"You shouldn't cry. My brother said I'm going to make you safe so that's what I'm going to do okay?" he spoke and I muttered a little okay "Why don't we start with your name while he go get your parents?"

"Papa and mama calls me Bambi"

"Bambi? That's a nice pet mane" he said and I felt like we were both comforting each other. Now his brother and my parents were in there
