"Faster" I hissed.

Zeke pressed his foot down further, the van speeding up. Hours had passed and Jack hadn't come back. I'd begun to panic. I told the boys about the fact that I was worried and Zeke had agreed with me that it wasn't good. Soon enough, we were tracking her cell phone.

"I can't believe they got her" Cassidy mumbled from the back seat, leaning his head on Darren's shoulder.

"Well we're going to get her back" Wes said.

"You can bet on it" I agreed.

The twins just let out grunts of agreement. I just hoped we'd make it in time.

I threw myself against Jay, sending us both crashing down to the ground and knocking the gun out of his hand. A loud bang rang out through the room.

"Jack!"

Dad.

I tried to crawl away from Jay, but his thick hand wrapped around a chunk of my hair, pulling me backwards.

"Jack!"

My eyes snapped towards the sound of the voice.

"Alex?" I called.

The door into the room was wide open and Alex, Eli, Darren, Zach and Chase stood beside my father. Wes and Zeke were fighting with Thane and Kade. Chloe stood with her hands raised in the air, looking afraid.

"Let her go" Alex demanded.

Jay's fingers tightened in my hair, "make me."

"That-" Zach began.

"-Can be arranged" Chase finished.

"You have nothing on me. One quick twist" Jay sneered, jerking my head slightly, "and I'll have snapped her little neck. I'd hate to do that because she's a pretty one, but if I must..."

"Stop" my dad called, "leave her out of this! It's me you want. Besides, if you kill her, you'll never get those files."

Jay let out a low growl, "fine. Let's make a deal. Make Jack remember the password, give it to me and let me leave with my life, and I'll let Jack go."

"Deal" my dad replied immediately.

"But Dad, he can't have the fil-" I started.

"I don't care if he gets the files. You're life is more important. I'm sure that the boys of Los Demonios agree with me" my dad explained.

"Of course" Alex said.

"So, what's the password?" Jay asked.

"Alright Jack, I know you haven't thought about this in a while, but when you were younger, you used to draw symbols all the time. You even had a special one that reminded you of your mom. One day when you got home from school, I asked you to draw one for me on that electronic key pad, remember? Whatever you drew that day, that's the password," he said slowly.

"Of course" I breathed.

I rested my hand just above where my stitches were. I'd never shown my dad my tattoo-and had actually forged his signature in order to get it, seeing as you needed parental permission if under 18- so he wouldn't know the importance behind the Sagittarius symbol. I used to love studying the Zodiac signs, but Sagittarius had always been my favourite because of my mom. That must have been what I drew. I was sure it was.
