Olivia POV
I stood there silently, afraid to move for  I might be sick. The fear of seeing Thomas again struck my very core, he was suppose to be dead but he stood before me. The deadly and memorizing Thomas Westbrook, ex boyfriend and father of my child was not dead. Well I hope he was the father of my child, I was not really honest with him. I believed he was the father of my child and there was a fifty percent chance he was the father, however it could possible be Ben's child as well.
It was true that Ben and I slept together a week after Thomas was declared MIA/Dead, possibly it was his child.
I shook myself of the thoughts of what could happen to Ben and I if the child was really Ben's baby and not Thomas' baby. I went over to Ben and finished untying his hands that were attached to the broken chair, he moaned as I moved his arm. He landed on that side of his body, he must have damaged his shoulder. I turned him over and looked over him, making sure he was not injuries anywhere else. I felt his hand grabbed mine and squeeze it softly, I turned to look at his face. His face riddled with concern and hurt, he must have heard the whole conversation.
"Is it really his child?" He asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I am not really sure Ben." I stated. "It could be a possibly, but honestly I hope it is not his child."
Ben nodded as he preceded to sit up, holding his shoulder.
"I hope so to." Ben said as he stood up. "We need to get out of here." I stated. "I am pretty sure people would have heard our commotion and are heading this way, we have to go back to save my sister."
"Why what is wrong with Kali?" Ben asked.
"They have come to kill me." I replied. "And they are going to use Kali to find me, I must get back to her before they find where I hid her."
Ben shook his head. "Thomas knows every inch of this ship, he must have told them where the safe rooms are in each room."
"He would not endanger Kali." I stated
"If his hatred for you is deep, he will do anything." Ben suggested.
My eyes widened. "Kali." I whispered as I ran out the room and down the hall. I arrived my door and swiftly kicked it down, but I entered a trashed room. The whole room was a disaster, overturned couches and tables, I quickly ran to the bathroom screaming her name. The secret door to the safe room was open and nobody was in the room.
I quickly ran back to the sitting room and into the other bedroom, nobody was in those rooms either. Kali was gone. Anger began to fell my mind and body, I walked out of the bedroom and headed for the door, but a voice over the speaker system stopped me in my tracks.
"Hello Agent Frostbyte, or should I say Olivia Stone." The voice crackled over the system. "My name is Elijah Erikson, leader of criminal organization called The Underground. I am here for you."
"What the hell?" A voice came from the door way, I turned and looked. It was Ben standing there.
"We here for you and you alone, you must pay for the crimes that you have made against The Underground." The voice calmly said. "You have one hour to bring yourself to me or I will start shooting people in the mess hall and naval command center. Keep in mind, Ms. Stone, I have little sister with me. Yes your darling sister Kali."
I stared at Ben with anger in my face. They had my sister, my innocent sister who did nothing wrong to these people.  I had to find her before they did something to her that they will regret.
"Remember Frostbyte, one hour or your sister will die." The voice commanded. "Do not make us wait."
The crackling speaker system ended, leaving Ben and I stunned, anger started to bubble up inside of me.
"We have to find them." I said as I began to walk out the door, Ben chasing after me.
"Olivia, it will be a trap." Ben said as he caught up to me, still holding his shoulder. "They want you and they will kill you, Kali will not probably live if you find them."
"They just threatened to kill my sister Ben!" I screamed as I stopped. 
"They said they will kill her if you do not come, but what if it actually the opposite?" Ben asked curiously. "You see Olivia, they will keep ahold of her until you come there or you were captured, why shoot the only leverage you have? You would not, you would keep them alive until the other person is found."
It did make some sense in my head, but I still had to find them and save my sister. No trap or wanted criminal could keep me from saving my sister, even killing me would save her.
"We have one hour Ben." I said. "Do you have a plan in mind?"
Ben looked straight at me. "I do think I have one." He stated. "However, we need Thomas to be on our side."
"How the hell are we going to convince him that we need him?" I stated.
"By putting that baby in danger." He replied.
My eyes lit up with fury. "Oh hell no!" I yelled. "Our one chance for a future out of this mess and you want to put it in danger?"
"Not necessarily." Ben stated. "You will survive this, just give me five minutes once we get down there. If Thomas doesn't show up and shoot him, I will shoot the bastard. Either way you, Kali, and baby Stone will walk out alive"
I looked at him with fury, but realized that Ben would never put me in any real danger. I nodded my head slowly as we walked toward the door.
"If we make it through this Ben, I choose you to be the father of this child." I stated softly.
He chuckled. "I already knew you would say that." He answered. "Mine or not, that child will be loved by me."
I smiled softly, knowing my future would be secure in the arms of Ben. Now that Thomas was the enemy, he would never see this child.
