Going Home

I woke up and pulled my legs into my chest. After that phone call I realized how much I wanna go back. I barely even care enough to finish this but... I have to. Right? A tear slipped down my cheek falling on my hand. I can't leave they'd go back to being in the line of fire. They don't deserve that Mike and Sofia need to get away too. My thoughts were interrupted by a small tapping on the window. I frowned grabbing Betty and pressing my body to the wall next to it. I opened the window a man coming in. I jumped on him covering his mouth and putting my knife to his neck. He threw me over his shoulder and onto the bed and I flipped over kicking him in the stomach. He doubled over and I rolled off the bed and turned on the lights dropping my knife and standing frozen. Was this real? He put his hands up against the wall struggling to breathe for a minute then shook it off facing me. I didn't realize that I was crying again until my vision started to blur. I ran over jumping on him wrapping my legs around his waist enveloping him in a hug. He caught me with ease wrapping his arms around my waist kissing my shoulder. I missed him more than words could explain and to know his touch again was amazing "Hey babe" he whispered as I pulled away enough to look at him "Hey what are you doing here" he winked at me and bit his lip. I rolled my eyes and he laughed "Nahh I'm just kidding I really came to take you home baby everyone might be mad at you but there's no question that we miss you" I smiled but it quickly died down into a frown "Chris I can't I wanna come home more than anything but I have to finish this" he scoffed "No you don't they don't know we're alive so why would they look for us... Baby please let me take you home" I thought about it and sighed "Okay tomorrow I'm planning my grand death send me the address in this phone but be warned I'm taking someone with me" he nodded then pressed gotta lips to mine. The kiss was rough and urgent yet filled with passion. We missed each other and we were going to show the other just how much. Next morning I walked downstairs to see Vince, Alex, Mike, Sofia, and Danny eating breakfast. I sat next to Mike kissing his cheek and took a sip of his juice. He glared at me and I stuck my tongue out at him "So did you guys really have to be that loud last night" I blushed beat red and Mike just smirked and laughed. He knew who visited me last night I'm sure. Who else would that happen with? He looked at me with a knowing smile and high-fived Alex. I rolled my eyes and put a piece of waffle in my mouth "Anyhow I'm going to the Baywood gang today who's coming with" me and Mike raised our hands and he nodded "Alright see you around 5 " I nodded planning our escape inwardly. The only way they'll accept me being gone is if I'm dead so I'll have to fake it. Again. This time it'll involve Mike so we can both die and he can come with me. As I planned it Sofia would be left here until I overheard a conversation about her son and his wife in the hospital. Apparently she's in labor and Sofia wants to be notified as soon as the baby's born. Ok. I walked upstairs packing my stuff and telling Mike to do the same. I got on my computer and through a secure line sent 10 million dollars to Sofia. She won't be back. I put on my catsuit and loaded up my knives and guns. I'm not leaving my babies here. I packed up Mike's car and jumped in the passenger's seat. He put his bags in as well and got in the car. We were about to drive off when Vincent stepped in the way "Where are you guys going with baggage" I smiled one thing about this place I won't miss "Me and Mike are taking a long vacation after this shit is done and I hope and pray you follow so I can make your death seem like a traveling accident" I whispered getting in his face. Arrogant asshole is gonna know pain after I'm done. I got back in the car and Mike drove away. He looked over at me and smiled "I hope this works" I smiled back "It will and you know it those idiots are too God damn predictable for this not to" he shrugged because more or less I was right. When we arrived at the big mansion I understood what they meant by biggest mob boss ever. The house was bigger than Vincent's ego and that was huge. This villa made me want to take my bags and move in. Absolutely breathtaking. While I marveled at the sights Mike had opened the door to my side "You coming babe" I laughed and grabbed his hand "I will be happy when we can drop this act" he whispered making me giggle a little. The door opened and who I'm assuming is the owner walked out. I could tell by the expensive clothes and the entourage that he was it "My name is Riley Peterson and you must be with Danny" I froze in place floating into my own world hearing that name.

Flashback

"Ariana come over here and watch this with us" my brother said plopping next to Dad "No Frankie you know I hate watching movies with you two" he groaned "Ugh way to go Riley you've messed up movie time with your sing alongs" Dad laughed and shot Frankie a playful glare for using his real name. I sat down on the armchair and reclined putting the popcorn bowl in my lap. They smiled and I cuddled into Frankie "Wait for me guys I wanna watch too" I rolled my eyes "Hurry up Mom" she came running in with Lula behind her. She pushed me a little gesturing for me to move over "Scooch over for your best friend in the whole wide world" I groaned loudly and did as she asked leaning on her shoulder when she had settled in. Mom grabbed the remote turning on Junmaji and throwing her legs over my lap. My family.

Mike shook me and I came back a little lightheaded "Yes" I said trying to regain control of my balance. Riley looked at me strangely but shook it off and showed us in. He showed us the house and we finally ended in the office where his wife sat at the desk reading paperwork. He stood behind her and put hands on her shoulder triggering another episode.

Flashback

"Honey we have something to tell you" I perked up and moved forward eager to hear this "We're having another child your gonna be a older sister" I cheered and danced around and Mom laughed at me. They came over hugging me and whispering about all the good to come from this.

Is there another child here? I looked over at them to see them talking to Danny "You have two children right" Danny shot me a glare and I ignored it "No we have 3 Frankie is out on his own and Jillian is with a friend" Jillian. I have a little sister. I bit my lip and quieted down the rest of the conversation. I looked up to see his wife staring at me like she was trying to figure out who I was. I hoped and prayed she wouldn't or we'd be in for it. I shifted from foot to foot uncomfortably I no longer wanted to be here. Mike watched me expectantly and I inwardly shook my head. Focus. I listened as Danny talked about all the numbers the Royal gang was working with and recorded it. He would pay dearly for his mistakes. I was about to say something when Vincent stormed in "I know who caused all the damage in our gang...... Maris or should I say traitor care to explain" I went pale and speechless. Caught Danny turned to me bright red with anger "Tell me he's lying" I couldn't speak I had no idea what to say. He grabbed my throat and I frozen in fear stared at him wide eyed "I built you up from that bitch in my basement to one of my best assassins and this is how you repay me" tears streamed down my face as I completely blanked out. I shook my head and regained focus pushing Danny off me and throwing him into a wall. I grabbed Vince kicking him in the throat and ran out Mike right behind me. We got in the car and drove off "How did this happen" I whispered to myself. Me and Mike remained silent as I tried to figure out what to do. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw Vince with something in his hands. He pushed a button and I screamed out as the car exploded.
