"I'm so sorry."

I closed my eyes trying to calm down as my heart raced in my chest, "Stop apologizing." I didn't care if she was sorry, the bullet landed a couple of inches from their hearts. The doctor said they would make it but the surgery was taking forever. "Why are you even here?"

The rest of the girls had gone back to the strip club with some of DeLeón's men to shower and eat. "I wanted to make sure you were okay, I feel so bad."

"I'm fine." All I wanted was for my boys to wake up.

The doors to the waiting room opened and the next I knew I was consumed in a hard a smell I was starting to familiarize myself with again. He held me tight, "I came as soon as I heard, we had to clear the building." He pulled back and sincerity was written all over his face, "Are you..." His eyes shifted behind my head and softened at the sight, "Oh my fuck Gina?"

I looked back and Gina turned around, gasping at the sight of Silas. They embraced each other as the realization continued to set in, "I can't believe it's you Silas, it's been so long how...?"

I wondered the same thing, I would've never guessed that the two known each other. Silas chuckled looking over at me, "This is an old girlfriend mouse, she went missing when I was still under Frisco. He stopped my advances in finding her, and once I got out from under him...." I could see regret contort with the longing in his face as he faced Gina, "I thought you'd be dead by then and I didn't want to look for you if it was true."

Gina smiled with tears running down her face squeezing his arm, "I don't blame you for it at all."

While I was glad for the reunion, the thought for the safety of my boys was burning a hole in my head. I tried my best to force a smile, "Silas now that you're here you can take her to the club, she hasn't eaten a proper meal and had a hot shower yet." I wanted her away, as joyous as Silas was, I didn't want to see the happiness on Gina's face after doing something so terrible to the men that played part in saving her.

"You'll be okay here alone mouse?" I gestured towards the men that DeLeón left with us to stand guard. Silas smiled and came over to embrace me giving me a kiss on the head, "I'll check in with you guys later."

I nodded and waved bye to Gina, relief rushing through me as I watched them walk out the doors. I turned back towards the seat behind me and sat down, sinking into it. I could feel my chest get heavy, and soon waves of tears began to silently come down.

I was scared. I was so so scared of losing them. I had been longing for them since I was pulled away. And when I finally got them back, they were snatched from underneath me once again. I hated that we couldn't find the small chance to just be.

Someone sat down next to me and I sniffed, wiping my tears as I sat upright in my seat. Once I felt I looked normal again I turned my head and the blood in my body ran cold at the sight. He smiled and soon anger burst through me, "I just want to talk." I could feel my hands start to tighten into fists, "My top surgeons are the ones working on your boys right now, you don't want to talk they die. You try something, they die. I don't leave here as clean as I came, they die. Do you understand me Peña?"

My eyes wandered to DeLeón guards in the room, only to realize they were slouched against the wall comatose. I faced Frisco again and he smiled, "Fine."

He sighed and leaned back in the seat, "You look so beautiful now, how long has it been since you ran?" I hated that we were having a conversation, I wanted so badly to lodge a knife far down his throat. He deserved a slow and painful death, "How long Peña?"
