Mrs. Reddington

Chapter 14

What I imagine Sabella the expert Scientist looking like.

As soon as we landed I saw two black cars, Scott took my bags and put them in the trunk of one of them and Alex went to open my door. As I made to move toward it Jacob caught my wrist.

"Be careful ok?" He asks his voice and face filled with worry.

"I'll be fine Jacob, get them to the safe house, and then make sure the others get there safely as well." I tell him and he nods once before I enter the vehicle.

---30 minutes later---

We pull up the abandoned warehouse and Scott gets out and opens my door. "Stay here Alex, unless things go wrong ok?" I ask and he nods.

I step out and spread my arms so that Berlin's men can search me as I look at Scott. "You're staying with me." I tell him and he nods sharply.

I look back toward the front and I see Berlin talking to Raymond with Dembe standing behind him a little ways. Neither of them notice me and so I walk up, loving my grand entrances as always I call out.

"Milos! Wonderful to see you again!" I exclaim and both he and Red turn and face me.

"Ah, Lilian what are you doing here?" Raymond asks.

"Well I heard through the grapevine that he was looking for us." I tell him and then walk over to Berlin.

"How have you been?" I ask smiling gently.

"I'd be better if my daughter were still alive." He spits out and I nod.

"So why did you need us?" I ask.

"I hear you and Raymond have found your daughter." He says. "I've come for revenge." He says and I sigh.

"She's not our daughter." I tell him and he laughs.

"You expect me to believe that?" He says.

"No which is why I brought a present." Raymond says and I turn to see Dembe opening the back car door and a woman steps out. I look over at Raymond and smile slightly, I see the mad look he gives me and smile all the brighter.

"This isn't my daughter, she's yours." Raymond says and I feel myself yanked backward and a gun to my temple.

Everything slows down, I see Alex leap from the car and attack the man closest to him, Scott and Dembe have their weapons drawn and Reddington had his drawn before Alex even opened his door.

"You lie!" Milos yells and I flinch.

"Take a good look at her Berlin, tell me if I'm lying then." I tell him and she steps into the light, he looks at her for a good 5 minutes before he releases me. Scott is at my side in an instant and he moves me back toward Raymond who is glaring at me with his jaw clenched. 

"Well I'm glad all is good, I'm going home." I tell them afterward and I turn and me and my crew get in my car. We're about to leave when the back door opens and Raymond sits next to me.

"Take us to my hotel Scott." He says and Scott briefly looks at me before driving off.

Raymond was quiet the entire way, almost too quiet. I look over at one point and he's staring outside not even paying attention. Sometimes it's hard being married to a man like Reddington, you never know where you stand or if one day he'll just get mad and kill you.

As I get out of the car and walk up to the hotel Raymond grabs my arm and leads me toward his room. Getting there he turns to the three following us.

"You guys head downstairs, I need to talk to her." They nod before leaving and he leads me inside.
