*Nicole's POV*

I push away from Sam and clutch my head. "W-what's wrong?!" he asks me. "I have a migraine." I answer calmly, removing my hands. "Here, just lie down and I'll get you some medicine to help ease the pain." he tells me. I do as he says and nod. I close my eyes, but about 5 minutes later Sam comes back in. I feel him put a cold rag on my head. I open my eyes to see him staring at me. Once he notices my eyes are open, he looks away with red painting his face. I laugh and say "You alright there Strawberry Shortcake?" He nods.

"Here. This'll help with the pain." he says, giving me a bottle of pills and a cup of water. I take it and read what it says. IbProphen. I take the cap off and pour out two pills. After getting them down, I sit up straight and lean against the wall. "So, I have  few questions that I'm hoping you can answer..." I begin, breaking the silence. "And what are your questions?" he asks. "Out of The Crew, who's the strongest?" I begin. "Delirious, from what I know. They say he's known to lose his sanity quickly if someone threatens something important to him." he explains.

"Then why'd you take me?" I continue, remembering a lot that has happened this past week. He goes wide eyed. "Don't you remember? You came to us.." he says hesitantly. I shake my head. "You, sir, are incorrect." I reply back. I leap off my bed and land on him. "The truth. I know you're living a lie. I feel it. Tell me what you've done to me." I order. "It was all Richard, I promise! He's making me do everything so that I'm the bad guy! I never wanted to hurt you in the first place." he spills out.

I nod and stick my hand out. "I need your gun if I'm getting out of here alive." I tell him. He nods and gives me the gun in his holster. Fully loaded, good. I walk out the door, but turn back around and say "Thanks for taking care of me." and head to the front door. "Hey Liam. Mind opening up? I need some fresh air. I've been stuck in this place that's full of men. I need alone time." I tell the gatekeeper in the little speaker. I hear the buzz, meaning he pushed the button. I walk through, heading towards town.

I'm not actually going to town. I'm just trying to get out of sight before heading to where I'm really wanting to go. I turn off the corner by the alley way where the guys found me. I smile, this place bringing back great memories. I shake my head and remind myself to keep focused. I run through and make it into the forested area. I run about 6 miles straight, leaving me a breathing mess as I walk the rest of the way to the porch. I clutch my knees to catch my breath, but quickly knock on the door.

I hear a few loud voices inside, but eventually the doorknob starts jingling. "No! I told you no fo-" Evan begins, but sees me and stops immediately. I smile and hug him, knowing he will probably think I'm still brainwashed. I back up and say "You gonna let me in and make me stand out here freezing and dehydrated?" I snicker. He smiles, letting me in. I step in, making all the guys in the living room freeze. "Well, I'm not feeling very welcomed." I tell them, making them laugh. "You need to go see Del. He's a mess." Tyler tells me. I smile at him and nod.

I walk down the hallway and stop in front of the door. "Who is it?" Jon's voice groans from inside. Instead of answering, I just walk in. "What the fuck?! I never said you cou-" he begins, but cuts himself off just like Evan. His eyes go wide. I look around our room and see Tate, a bit bigger than I remember. I pet his head, making him jump up and growl. I laugh, causing him to realize it's me. He jumps into my lap and licks my face. "Easy." I order. I set him back down and smile at Del. 

"I see how you guys are. Not a single welcome from any one of you." I tell him. He chuckles and stands up, wrapping his arms around me. "I can't stay long. I'll try to come back tomorrow night. We can make a plan together, okay?" I says, wrapping my arms around him as well. I feel him nod. "I missed you Cole." I he says, speaking for the first time since I've gotten here. "I've missed you too. Not much loner, I promise." I say. He nods again and kisses the top of my head. 

"Goodbye for now. I promise I'll come back." I tell him again, flashing a small smile at him. He smiles back and follows me to the living room. "I'll be back tomorrow night if possible. We'll make a plan because I don't wan tot be stuck there any longer. I'll bring a mapping of the place with me. We'll take these fuckers down." I explain to everyone. They all agree, Tyler being usual and yelling a "Hell yeah mothafuckas! We gonna go on a heist!" I laugh and walk towards the front door. I turn and wave to them all.

They all wave back, so I run back into the crisp cool night air. I run through the trees once more, jumping over the wall to the alleyway instead of going around. It's a lot longer going around so. I walk the rest of the way to the base, pressing the little buzzer on the lock panel. "Yo." I say to Liam, him opening the gates once more. I walk through the gates and into the doors of the big warehouse. Once I walk into the room again, I see Sam lying on the floor still. "Get the fuck up." I tell him, lightly kicking his side.

"Thought you weren't coming back." he groans. "Looks like you've gotta deal with my ass a bit longer. But don't worry you'll be free soon." I tell him. He smiles at me. "You're gonna get me out?" he questions, still smiling. I nod. "It's the least I can do. But, you better take whoever you don't want to die with you." I order. "Don't worry, everybody else here is serious about this gang shit." Sam replies. I nod once more, but climb into bed. "Come out with me tomorrow so we can arrange stuff." I tell him as I close my eyes.

I hear him mumble an "okay" before sleep consumes me.
