*Dimitri*

 After Rose told everyone what had happened to her the last six years I had stormed out of the house in anger. I was now sitting in a bar staring at the drink in front of me thinking.

 'I could have stopped all of this if I hadn't hurt her," I sighed nodding to the bartender and he set another drink in front of me. "Thanks."

 "No problem man," he said wiping the counter. "Mind if I ask what's wrong. You look like you need someone to talk too."

 "Not sure if you would want to listen," I grumbled.

 "Try me Belikov," he said and I looked at him shocked. "I may not be a full time dhampir but that doesn't mean I don't know who you are. Jack Jones at your service."

 "Didn't realize..."

 "I don't really make it known to people," Jack laughed. "Prefer to keep to myself, now tell what's your problem."

 "I made a mistake years ago and couldn't keep her safe," I sighed. "I hurt the one person I love and missed out on the last six years of my sons life, now I'm trying to make it up to her while trying to keep everyone safe from people that want Roza."

 "That's a big problem," he whistled. "Want my opinion?"

 "Why not," I shrugged.

 "Fight for her, show her how much you love her. "Spend time with your son, show her and him that you'll be there from now on, prove to them that you won't hurt them."

 "Easier said than done," I sighed setting the empty bottle down. "I need to get back to them, I left without telling anyone where I was going."

 "Ever need any help you know where to find me," he said and I nodded tossing some money on the bar.

 "Where were you?" Mikhail asked when I walked in the door, "We've been trying to get a hold of you for the last two hours."

 "What happened?" I asked following him down the hallway to the living room.

 "After you left we were attacked," Mark explained wincing when Oksana pressed the cut on is head. "Catch us all by surprise, they took Rose and Andre."

 "WHAT?!" I yelled, "Who took them?"

 "Who do you think," Pavel grumbled limping into the room. "Got a license plate. Abe and Mark you two are staying here and give us direction on where their heading."

 "Just bring them back," Sonya said. "Dimitri bring them back safe."

 "I will," I said running to the motorcycle and heading after my family.
