Saving Love

Going After Him

**With Roman, Seth and Paige**:

 Roman sat on the couch watching as Seth paced in front of him for the 100th time since they returned from work and found Paige gone. She had left no note and wasn't answering any of their calls and texts, making both men worry about her. Ever since Dean's kidnapping both Seth and Roman became over protective of her, afraid The Authority would go after her next!

 Seth grabbed his keys and was about to go look for her, when the door opened and Paige walked in, both men turned to look at her.

 "What?" She asked, as both men hugged her tightly.

 "You're safe!" Seth said so relieved.

 "We thought something happened to you!" Roman explained, as they sat down.

 "I'm sorry, I really thought I'd be back before you guys!" She said taking their hands.

 "Where were you?"

 "Oh, I...I was out talking to a friend, and I found out some very interesting info about where Dean is!"

 "What? Where?" Roman demanded.

 "Hawaii! The family left the city and went there to hide out!" She answered smiling.

 "Hawaii? I think Dean mentioned something about going there months back, when that deal he told us about when bad!" Roman said.

 "Who was the friend?" Seth asked, something didn't feel right to him.

 "Just an old friend, I've known for years!" She answered, as she stood up and began walking away.

 "Freeze Paige!" Roman said, as he and Seth stood too. "You're hiding something and we want to know what it is!"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" She replied, as she turned to face them.

 "Paige!" Seth said crossing his arms.

 "Fine! My friend, is really an Authority member okay!" Paige said.

 "What? Tell me you're shitting us?" Seth said shocked, Paige didn't answer. "Paige!"

 "What Seth, what? We needed to know where Dean was and there was no other way to do it! What the hell was I supposed to do huh? He's my brother dammit, I'm not going to sit back and do nothing!" She said upset.

 "Paige, do you know how dangerous that was? You could have been found out and gotten hurt!" Roman said upset. "We don't want to lose you too Paige!"

 "I'm fine, I know how to handle myself! I was careful I swear!" She said, as she hugged Roman, before she hugged Seth. "I know my family, I know how they work and who to talk to."

 "Promise us you won't ever take that kind of risk again Paige; please?" Seth begged.

 "I promise." She answered truthfully.

 "Thank you, we love you kid." Roman said kissing her head.

 "I love you both too!" She replied.

 "Looks like we're going to Hawaii!" Seth said smiling.

 "We leave in an hour, I already booked our tickets!" Paige said.

 "Let's go get Dean back!" Roman added smiling.

**Two Days Later**:

 After quickly packing the trio headed for the airport, none of them knew Ford had found out about Hawaii, after tailing Paige and had booked a ticket for the same flight. Something wasn't right about this, Ford still hadn't figured out who Dean was, or his connection to Reigns, Rollins and Paige. By the way Paige acted he was pretty sure the connection between the two ran deep...family possibly. Whatever was going on Ford planned on finding out, and he'd enjoy every minute of it.

 After arriving in Hawaii the trio found a hotel, and spent the first two days trying to establish contacts, who could find out anything for them about the family. Being a high ranking and well known member of The Authority, Paige could call in favors from family friends and not be questioned or denied. She took full advantage of it and as soon as they got to their hotel room she began making phone calls. Unable to sit back doing nothing anymore, Roman and Seth decided to go walk around showing people Dean's picture. It was a long shot, but they had to do something!

**With Dean**:

 Dean sat on the couch, he had just gotten back from another walk and had seen Kane, Show, Steph and Hunter talking in their office again. That was the fourth private meeting between the four of them in the last three days. He knew them well enough to know that that was never a good sign, something big had either already happened, or was going to happen! He also knew whatever it was he'd have to be a part of it, if he wanted them to keep believing he was with them.

 At least he could take comfort in the fact that Roman, Seth and Paige were safe! They believed he was dead, which meant they wouldn't come looking for him and they'd stay safe! He missed them all so much, and he couldn't wait until he was able to hold them again, this time when he did he was never letting go! That would have to wait though, right now he had to stay alert, he couldn't risk being distracted or everything could blow up in his face! It was weird that no one had said anything to him about whatever was going on; considering they kidnapped him and were trying so hard to keep him in the family! He had a bad feeling about this, it reminded him of when Hunter and Stephanie discovered there was a rat in the family. Did they know he was bullshitting them? No, they couldn't, he was too careful about keeping it to himself! There was only one way to know for sure...he had to find out what the hell was going on!
