A Christmas Accident

A Festive Fiend

Getting outside, turned out to be harder then they realised.

They had gotten as far as a shipping container on the right side of the building, but the vehicles they needed to get to where around back, behind a chain link fence. Trees, and over grown bushes hid them a few of the Toma Team, who were wating for the three of them to show up according to Raven.

Only a group of five men, standing around chatting and smoking stood in their way, and they would be too exposed trying to sneak past.

Victor was concerned if they tried to incapacitate them, they could raise the alarm before they took all five down. Raven just wanted to shoot them.

Sang shivered thinking of the gleeful smile on the giants face when he had suggested that.

Raven was one scary man.

"We need to get Sang to the Toma's, so we can alert Mr. B that she's safe, and get Dr. Sean back here as soon as possible." Victor said, eyeing the men.

Raven huffed. "Just let me shoot them."

"No. They'll raise the alarm before you can even fire of a second shot."

"So we create distraction."

Victor seemed to ponder Raven's suggestion. "You might be on to something, but it needs to be lowkey. We don't want to draw in any unwanted attention or create cause for alarm."

"I can lead them away."

"That would work if we hadn't made a deal with Greg to come alone. If he thinks for one minute we lied, it could put the guys in danger."

Sang's heart sunk at the notion of the guys getting hurt. She couldn't allow that to happen. Following Victor's line of sight, she worried her lip as an idea popped into her head. It was reckless, and Victor would probably be mad that she suggested it, but she couldn't stand around waiting for everyone else to save her.

"I can distract them. It's me they want, so let them have me."

*NORTH TAYLORS POV*

Today was turning into an absolute fucking shit-show.

From the moment he had been woken by Kota before the sun had even crested the horizon, he had been plagued by this bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He had thought it was because they had to take Sang-baby home, something he had been extremely reluctant to do.

At first before they had met her, he hated the idea of some random chick getting involved in something she should have kept her nose out of. Yeah, she may have saved Gabriel when they had been frantically searching for him, but how did they know she wasn't involved in some way?

That she hadn't been sent to distract them and make them lower their guard?

He had remembered sitting in that café, ready to scare her off, to protect his family as was his job. But when that bell rung, and his brothers walked in with this tiny little thing tucked between them, he had been stunned silent.

His first glimpse of those haunted green eyes had rocked him to his very core, and any notion he had of scaring her away had jumped right out of the window.

North didn't let people close, refused to give them the room to hurt him after a lifetime of people letting him down. His family were the only ones he cared about, and he had to do everything he could to protect them. They had all suffered enough.
