Millie p.o.v 

"Stop, you jackass! " my throat was red raw from screaming. My screams were completely drown out by Aines.  I couldn't see her or him, they were behind where I was tied up but I could hear her, fecking hell could I hear her. He was hurting her because she had talked back. That's what he said anyways.
"You always were mouthy. Let's see if we can fix that" and he dragged her from my sight. That's when she started screaming.
It was like a nightmare, the sounds, the warehouse we were in, and being tied to a pole on a dirty floor.
"Please please please..." I shook like a leaf, brokenly saying a pray over and over, hoping it would be answered. Her screams drown that out too.

Cut p.o.v.   
"We need to find this fucker!" Switch slammed his hands down on the table.   We all sat around it, grim disgust polluting the air.
"Someone needs to contact the Jacks" Buck spoke up.
'Fuck that" I snarled and everyone's gaze jumped between the two of us.
"Get you head right brother, you know they find out one of their men working for them fucked up this bad they'll do what they can to right it or they have war on their hands" Buck reasoned, his points valid. Silence coated the room before I nodded slightly and watched Switch pull out his phone.
The last few months ran on a constant through my head, every moment that changed something in my life and every moment that something broken in my life suddenly fixed.
Dragging my hand through my hair I thought of Fiachra, Millie and Aine  and the bond of family that was so thick between them nothing could tear it apart.
But this...
A part of my brain whispered but I silenced the voice immediately as I couldn't bare the thought. We had to get them back.
"Abandoned warehouse off the highway by about four miles, it's a dirt road through a forest. The Jacks hardly use it anymore, they assume it would be a good place to start. They're sending out arms" Switchs words Cut through my thoughts and I realised his phone call had ended.
"Let's go" I said already out of my chair and moving. One thing I knew was that I was going to give my son back his aunt and Mom, even if I died doing it. 

Millie's  p.o.v 
"Where is she?" I screamed at his back again. Silence had settled in the warehouse a while ago and Jonathan had made an appearance in front of me. He stood at a table to my right that was shoved up against the wall and had several items on it that I couldnt make out from my low perch on the dirty floor. I couldn't hear any sort of movement from behind me from where he had taken Aine.
"Why are you doing this?" I sounded weak to my own ears. Suddenly turning he backhanded me. Blood flew from my mouth to splatter across the floor. Crouching low he got in my face.
"Why am I doing this?", he repeated my question,"because you'll always be mine, Millie. I told you we were forever" he sounded deluded, like someone possessed. He spoke softly but nothing about his words were gentle.
"He doesn't want you like I do Millie. He can't take care of you and Fiachra like I can. I told you we were Forever Millie, and we will be, dead or otherwise" he said standing back up and approaching the table once again. My face throbbed from the hit, I could feel the places where it was swollen and battered.
My attention focused solely on Jonathan as he raised a carving knife into the air and shifted it back and forth watching the gleam of the overhead light snake across it.
"What are you doing?" Nervous energy spread across my skin setting off goosebumps. Touching the tip of the knife to his forefinger he turned to stare at me.
"You're mine. I'll keep you however I can" he whispered madly.
"Ok woah- Jonathan- listen you-" he lunged forward, it happened so fast it was a blur and at the same them was crystal clear.
Leg shooting forward, his arm extended back behind his head as a deranged look took over his face. I shoved back automatically and slammed into the pole that was firmly against my back. The fear that overtook my was extravagant, it closed off my airways and set my heart rate sky high in a matter of milliseconds. I didn't have time to blink before the knife was planted firmly in my leg.
That's the moment all hell broke lose.
I screamed, the pain so severe it was like nothing I had ever felt before. Dazed I watched my jeans quickly coat a deep demin from my blood as it flowed from the open wound in  my leg. Tears fell from my eyes as I clenched my teeth together willing myself to catch my breath.
At the same time  the door of the warehouse exploded open, litter all the flew off its hinges. In raided men I have never seen before, bullets flying everywhere.
The explosion  of cardboard boxes around me had me screaming in not only pain but now in fright. Then I saw them, the Savage Bikers. They were like a wave in a storm, they came barrelling in, fully aware of the strength they possessed and we're going to use that to their advantage. They were unstoppable. 
The noise that seemed like an eternity but we're not longer than two minutes at the most Cut to a deafening silence.
"Millie"
I told you before, it was never my name, but the way he said it most I loved. Blinking rapidly Cut came into focus with the other men there too all staring in fury at me.
"Luke" I whispered disorientated.
"Don't move honey, he'll be gone in a minute" Pin said moving to the front but I didn't understand his words. Looking around I tried to pinpoint who he meant.
The sight of Jonathans limp body lying across my legs was enough to snap me out of my daze.
" Get him off me, get him off, get him off off off... aaahh" I was franctic moving before the spark of pain shot through my leg reminding me of my wound. Tears overcame my eyes again.
"What's hurt?" Pin was right there kneeling beside me inspecting my whole body clinically.
"Slab. To my leg" I whispered but they all heard. It came back to me with a start then, Aine.
"Aine",I repeated out loud  urgency in my voice, "find her, he's hurt her"  Switch was gone from the room before I finished talking, determined lines covered his face.
Untied and picked up by Pin u was carried from the wreckage the warehouse was now in. 
"I want to go home" I whispered.
"You need a hospital" he said back easily.
Placing me carefully in the back of the van he inspected my leg until Switch came running out with an unconscious Aine in his arms.
"Move" he snapped at Pin who swiftly moved out of  the way and Aine was gently placed in the van beside me. She was starting to go black and blue and was covered head to toe in blood and swollen tissues.
Sliding as close as I could without hurting myself or her I started to inspect her from head to toe as the van roared to life and we pulled away at high speeds. Feeling for a pulse and counting her respirations I again found myself praying for a moment magic.
"Keep her alive and you alive"  Switch snapped from the front of the van to me. I didn't reply I just focused on her health, inspecting her wounds.
We couldn't get to the hospital fast enough.
