The next day~~

Jack, Riley, and I walk into the Phoenix and we wait in the frosted glass room. Mac walks in and I can tell something is up with him.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"Boz hasn't forgave me yet and I don't blame him." He says looking at the ground.

"You didn't have a choice." I remind him.

"Yeah, but why's Thornton got to go all DEFCON One? I was a civilian once. I found out about you guys. None of this happened to me." Riley asks.

"Oh, no, you're different. Patti let you in on our little secret, because you have a specific skill set we can use. We're using you." Jack replies.

"Yeah, whatever, Jack. So, you're saying just because Bozer can't hack the Pentagon his only options are witness protection or a black site?" Riley says shaking her head.

"I'm not gonna let it come to that." Mac says as Thornton comes in. 

Thornton starts briefing us on the case. Long story short we are heading to Latvia to stop a potential Isis which mean we have to arrest the leader. At a bank. Fun not.

At Latvia~~

We run out of the bank trying to find Janis Lapa also known as the target. We look around and find him no where.

"Where going to have to spit up." Mac said.

Me and Mac run one way while  Riley and Jack run the other. We find Janis and follow him to a loading dock. He sees us and starts firing.

"Uh we found him." I say into the comps.

"Yeah I can tell just keep him trying to kill yah and I'll follow the sound of the shots." Jack says to us.

"We'll try not to die before you get here." Mac says sarcastically.

I look over and see a lighter and spray can. I nudge Mac to get him to look. He looks over to me and smiles.

"Fireworks." he says and I nod.

"I'll set it up while you run up and grab him," I say to Mac and he nods.

I rush over and grab the lighter and can and set everything up. When I'm about to light it I motion to Mac to get ready to run. He nods and I light it up. As soon as I do that I stand up and throw it as hard as I can over to Janis. As soon as it blows up Mac runs over to him and tackles him.

I pull out my gun and follow him. Yes I know what your thinking. Why not just use the gun. Well I didn't because just because I have a gun doesn't mean I like to use them. I walk over to Mac and he is tying Janis up. I grab his gun off the floor and unload it.

"I see you got him." Jack says running up to us, He looks at my hands and sees my gun, "You had a gun and didn't use it."

"I don't like guns." I say simply.

Jack picks up Janis's phone and says, "Guys. We got a problem. He just sent out an SOS to every contact in his phone."

"We got to find Riley and get out of here." Mac says picking up Janis.

We get in the car as soon as we find Riley and make our way to the air strip. Well try to.

Jack is swerving through traffic and shouts, "Come on. What's the speed limit in the country? Like 6 miles per hour."

We start to slow down and Jack starts honking the horn.

"Riley how long until we get to the air strip." Mac asks.

"3 miles." She replies looking at he tablet.

"You guys will never make it in time." Janis says from beside me.

"Who asked you?" I ask with a fake smile.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence there Yani." Jack says from the front seat

"My name is Janis." Janis replies.

"Wait a minute. Let me think.... Nope I don't care." Jack says shaking his head at the end.

Janis starts giving us a threat basically but I tune him out. We come to a complete stop and jack starts honking the horn more.

"Jack you might want to lay off the horn." I say once I see who is in-front of us.

"That's his terrorist buddies in front of us." Mac says.

Jack tries to back up but can'y get anywhere. His terrorist buddies look at us and we know that wevev been made. We hop out of the car and run while dragging Janis with us.

I walk into the Phoenix foundation absolutely exhausted. I'm about to walk into the war room when I see Mac talking to Boz. I watch trying to read their lips until they hug. I walk in and let out a yawn.

"I love all the forgiveness but I just spent 3 hours getting shot at I would love to go home." I say and Boz and Mac chuckles.

We head home and I immediately go to my room. I get into bed without changing.

"As cute as you look right now you need a shower." Mac says and I look over at him.

"But I'm comfy." I groan out and he laughs while shaking his head.

"You might want to get in there before Boz takes hours." He says and I laugh before standing up.

I grab the clothes I need before I go to the shower. I quickly shower before I put my hair into a pony tail. I look down at my stomach and run my hand over it.

"I'll protect you as good as I can little one." I whisper before I walk back to my room.

I get back in bed and groan as I hear the door open again.

"I got a job at the Phoenix!" Boxer shouts and I laugh.

"Good for you Boz." I say looking at him.

"I get to do prosthetics. I can't wait to get in the field." He says and I frown slightly.

"Did you miss the part where I got shot at for 3 hours." I say and he looks at me.

"Well no but are you okay?" He asks concerned and I nod.

"Yeah I've had some cramps but I did some research and it's probably just my endometriosis." I say and he nods.

I hear the shower start and Bozer closes my door.

"Those actions and the look on your face would make me shoot you if I didn't know you." I say and he frowns.

"Well thanks." He says acting hurts, "Anyways my question is do you still like Mac."

"No. I love Angus. But I'm not sure if he feels the same." I say honestly.

"I can scope the sight and see if he does." Boz says and I laugh.

"Wilt please never say that again." I say laughing, "And no I'll find out in time." I say and he nods.

"Okay well I'll let you get some sleep." He says and I smile at him.

"Thanks I'll see you later." I say before he leaves my room.

I check my phone before I lay under my cover. I curl up slightly before I start to fall asleep.

"Good night little one." I mumble to my stomach before my eyes flutter closed.
