Scars Left By Memories - Book II

Missing Piece

My voice had became louder in my head and rung louder. Francisco stood there, but his face became much softer than it was before. He pulled me closer towards him.

"Te amo, más de lo que podrías imaginar." Francisco said in Spanish, besides the fact I couldn't completely understand what he was saying. I did know for a fact, it was Spanish.

"What does that mean?" I ask,.

"Oh, right I had completely forgotten. You don't speak Spanish. Don't worry, soon enough you will find out." Francisco answers.

Before I could respond back to his answer. I hear glass shattering from the house on the left of us. I quickly grabbed Francisco's wrist and ran us behind the car. As I could barely see it, but well enough to see that there was a bullet lying on the road.

"We've wasted enough time. I want you to go back to the estate or penthouse. Sage please!" Francisco yells. As much as I wanted to obey that, I couldn't.

"Fine, I will." I said, obviously lying strongly through my teeth. Before even allowing myself to reach the next sentence. Francisco has already disappeared.

"Aw, pretty lost girl without anyone to protect her. Sad, sad, too bad Francisco left you." I turned around to find, Adina. She had a large rifle in her hand.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with the Russian's?" I said, completely unsure of what to say.

"Nope, they had sent me to come search for you. Since they knew all along that the Italians were coming. Of course after they knew you would tell one of them, most likely Francisco. That Marco raped you. Everything came into place. Perfectly." Adina replies with a large smirk on her face.

"What do you mean everything came into place?" I question. Adina laughed loudly.

"That's none of your concerns. What ever happens now, is going to be all you fault." Adina answers, I reached into my pockets. Drawing the pistol.

"I wasn't the only one who kept a secret from Francisco. After three full years and he was going to propose to you. You decided telling him that you are a secret spy for the Russian's on the day he was purposing to you." I bluntly said. Adina's eyes widened. As she attempted to fire at me with her rifle. It suddenly jammed.

Instead of standing there like a complete idiot. I ran off from Adina. She stood there. Still fixing her rifle. Making my towards the Russian's estate. Which was probably a mistake.

That's when I heard a sudden burst fire from behind me. Nobody was outside of the estate. I slammed my body against the house across from the estate. I turned to see the tip of Adina's rifle poking out.

I quickly reached for it. Having a tight grip around it. She continued to fire. I shoved my leg out. Stepping on the the rifle. Adina didn't even stop. She must've attempted to, but failed. I pulled out my pistol, I pulled the trigger hoping it would kill Adina. But she reached out, nails digging into my wrist. I fired.

Which blasted my eardrums. I felt her grip release from my wrist. I tripped as she had also let go of the rifle. Which must've been out rounds. I completely disband the pistol. As it lied on the grass. I reached down for it.

"Not gonna happen." Adina said, slamming her foot onto my hand. I screamed loudly in pain. I used my other hand, hitting it into her stomach. Out of reflex. She stepped off my hand. I reached down and grabbed the gun.

But it flew out of my hand. I looked over to see what was the cause. There was knife besides the gun. As I was running towards the gun. Adina grabbed me by the waist. Shoving me to the ground, stabbing a syringe into my neck.

Before I push myself to fight back. My body become sedated and I became weaker. Before I completely blacked out.

Francisco

Martinez, Tom, and I opened the back cellar door and hurried down the steps. Shutting it behind us. I turned on iPhone flashlight. Illuminating the dark cellar.

"Look who I found, strolling around the neighborhood." Adina's voice was heard through the thin flooring. Sage

"They have Sage." I whispered.

"What?" Martinez questions turning towards me. I knew I shouldn't have left her out there alone on left her in general.

"Since I never told her where we were at. She was worried and came all the way down here. I decided that she could make it back to the estate safely. Turns out Adina was one step ahead of me." I whispered.

"Fuck." Martinez said frustratedly.

"Instead of having her here, take her to that broken down warehouse by the river. We will finish her off there. Since we have all the information we need already. I am about send out the rest of the men to go on a search for Isabeli." Nikolay confidently said.

"Good. I'll be sure to bring her down there. Let's just hope that the river isn't frozen." Adina replies.

"Me too." Nikolay said.

"Fuck. Fuck. Francisco we are going to lose Sage again." Martinez panicked.

"Don't worry. I am going to deal with this. You make sure they don't leave the estate." I said, already processing a plain in my mind.

"Take Rafael with you, and Lee and Dakota. I know it sounds stupid to set those two up. But they need to come to their senses and realize that they are still family to each other." Martinez nearly-yelled whisper.

"Will do." I said, turning the other way. Already running towards the cellar door. I pulled out my walkie-talkie. "Rafael. Lee. Dakota. You guys there?"

"Yeah." They all surprisingly said in unison.

"Come meet me, by the front." I demanded.

"Okay, here we come." Rafael replies.

I pushed open the cellar doors. The house was too quiet, the Russian's had already planned something. They knew we were coming. There was something I wasn't getting to and it left a hole in this mission. A big one.
