The Alpha Omega.

The Beginning of The End

"River!!!"
Jake snaps and smacks my face softly.

I shake my head and wake up from nodding off.

"You're not going to sleep on me again."
Jake says and stands up, holding out his hand.

I grab it and lift myself up.
"I don't wanna sleep for a while."
I say as I shake my head again and wake up fully.
"How long was I out?"
I ask as I walk towards the door.

"Just a couple hours."
Sydney says as she walks out behind me.
"Baby, you need rest."
She says and grabs my arm.

I turn to her and kiss her head.
"Princess, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
I say smiling and take her hand.
"I have some stuff to do with Jake, I'll be back to the room later."

"Ok baby, stay safe."
She says smiling and kisses my cheek.

"I never am baby girl, why would I start now?"
I ask smiling as I walk away and wave Jake beside me.

"Yeah, Boss?"
Jake says as he steps up beside me.

"Do you have any guards that you trust yet?"
I ask and stop once we're away from Sydney.

"Uhhh, what is the question?"
He asks and stops, looking over at me confused.

I point to a storage closet behind him.

He nods and turns, opening it and stepping in.

I step in and close it quickly, before turning on the light switch.

"What's up, Boss?"
He asks and leans against a shelf.

"Something's off.... I can't explain it."
I say and lean against a shelf.

"What do you mean?"
He asks and looks at me confused.

"I specifically have been hit so much.
Even on my solo runs."
I say as I run my hands through my hair.
"How do they know where I'm going?
How do they know what we're doing?"
I ask and look over.
"None of this shit makes since."

Jake nods slowly.
"You suspect a mole?"
He asks and looks up.

"You have a better explanation?"
I ask and shrug my shoulders.

"Do you suspect me?"
He asks and looks into my eyes.

"If I did, would I be talking to you?"
I say with a smile and look at him.

He laughs slightly.
"Why were you asking about protection though?"
He asks and looks at me kinda confused.

"For Sydney, something doesn't feel right.
That'd be the best place to hit me."
I say with a half-smile and look away.

"Oh... Well, I don't trust any of those guards for that."
He says sadly.
"I'll do it though."

"You can't, you have guards to train."
I say and wave my hand.

"You can train them, it'll probably be good to put them against each other."
He says with a smile and looks at me.

"You sure?"
I ask and look at him.

"It's no problem, I'll stay with her.
Do you want her to know she has a guard?"
He asks.

"No, be discreet."
I say and nod at him.

"All I needed to know."
He says and nods back.

"How did Cam do?"
I ask and turn to the door.

"Great, he took down the sniper that got you."
He says smiling.
"That kids one hell of a shot."

"Good to know, also do we have any FMJ rounds for my Beretta's?"
I ask and look over at him.
