Skye's P.O.V

I woke up with a throbbing headache, I looked around my room and then at my body. I noticed my arms and legs had bandages on them. I threw my legs over the bed and tried to stand up but I got light headed and sat down quickly. As I sat down I heard my front door open, I looked over at the clock and it was 1:30am. I stood up slower this time and managed not to get light headed. I shuffled to my bedroom door; I headed out to the hallway and heard Cameron's voice talking to someone. As I moved closer to the stairs I could make out a small figure in the doorframe down stairs. I got to the top of the stairs and I could make out who was at my door, "Nolan, why are you here?" I asked. Cameron and Nolan both looked at me. Cameron ran up to help me; he grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back to my room. "No Cam, I need to see why Nolan is here" I finally got my arm free from his grip and gripped the railing and slowly walked down the stairs. As I stepped off the last step Nolan ran up and tackled my legs into a hug. "Nolan, I'm glad to see you too but where is your father?" he looked up at me with those big brown eyes just like Jake's and started to cry. I motioned Cam to come here, "Since I can't pick him up, grab him and let's sit in the living room" Cam knelt down and picked up Nolan, as we walked in the living room I heard a ring tone go off on someone's phone. I patted myself down to find my phone but came up empty handed, Cam did the same thing but his phone was not the one going off. So I sat down on the couch and Cam sat Nolan down next to me and I heard the ring tone even louder now. I looked down at Nolan and he was just starring at his feet. "Um Nolan is that your phone that is going off?" he slowly shook his head yes, but never pulled out his phone. "Ugh Nolan let me see your phone" he reached into his pocket and pull out his phone and handed it to me. I turn on his phone and it came up to his lock screen and it had a message saying he had 12 missed calls from Jake. "Nolan your dad has been trying to call you, why are you ignoring him?" Nolan looks up from his feet and stairs at Cam, I sigh, and "Cam can you please leave us alone for a little while" Cam nodded and got up and headed outside for some fresh air I think. "Ok Nolan spill it" he looks over at me and stairs into my eyes. "I miss my mommy" I was taken back at this statement, because I only saw Jake with him never a mother figure. "Well Nolan I know it's hard missing someone but you are never far from that someone" he looked at me confused. I smiled and placed my hand on his heart, "Everyone we love and care about is always with us in here" he places his hands over my hand. He whispers, "Thank you Skye" I just hugged him, "Ok now it's time to put your father at ease and tell him you're alright" I pull away from the hug and see Nolan's eyes grow heavy and he starts to yawn. He leans over and places his head on one of the couches throw pillows. I pick up his phone and head towards the front door. As I reach it I hear Cameron walk in through the back door, "Hey Skye-" I cut him off shushing him and pointing towards Nolan" "Sorry but how are you feeling?" I nodded, "We can talk after I get Nolan back with his father" I unlock Nolan's phone after I figured out his password was his and Jake's birth date. I clicked on contacts and scrolled down and found 'Dad' I clicked on it and it started to dial:

"Hello...Nolan, Oh thank god your okay...you are okay right?"

"Um yeah Jake he is fine but right now he is just sleeping on my couch"

"Who is this and why do you have my son's phone?"

"Um this is Skye and your son showed up at my door"

The line went silent before Jake didn't want to argue so he asked for direction to my house. After I told him how to get to my house he asked to stay on the line with me until he reached my street, I agreed. "Um hold on Jake someone is at my door" I heard a knock at my front door, so I yelled "Who is it?" a male voice yelled back, "Hello, I am a lieutenant Knight, Jake sent me to pick up Nolan" I could hear Jake talking on the other line but I kept walking up to the door. "Lieutenant can you hold up your badge up to the door please" I looked through the peephole and looked at his badge. I stepped slowly away from the door, "Okay, great just one second" Cam whisper behind me, "What?" "Um Lieutenants badge numbers start with a one" Then bullets were shot through the door, Nolan jumped up and was about to scream until Cam ran over and grabbed him and laid him down on the floor. I dropped Nolan's phone and you could hear Jake screaming now on the other line. I ran to the kitchen looking for my father's shotgun. I hear the front door be kicked in and the gunman walking slowly throughout the front part of the house. He fires some bullets into the living room. He stepped closer into the living room, "It was the badge that gave me away right?" "You do know my father is rich?" I said turning the corner with James shotgun, I released a bullet but missed. The gunman hid behind the door frame in between the front door area and the living room. I went to fire again but the gun jammed up, the gunman turned back to face me and placed the gun right in front of me. I closed my eyes waiting for the worst to happen. I hear someone tackle the gunman to the ground. I peek out one eye and see Cameron wrestling the gunman for control of his pistol. Cam knocked it out of his hand and it skited down the hall way. The gunman punched Cam in the face and he fell backwards off of the gunman. I took a good look at the gunman and he was wearing an all black outfit but a white mask with a Jack like from a deck of cards painted on the side of it. He pointed the gun at Cameron and was about to fire when I heard tires squeal in my drive way, the gun man ran down my hall way and jumped out the window and took off for the forest that was in my backyard. Nolan ran up and tackled me in a hug and started to cry. I knelt down and hugged him back. Jake ran up to the front door and sees it was broken into and rushed inside. He saw me hugging his son and he ran up to us, "Is he ok and what happened?" Nolan pulled away from the hug and ran into his dad's arms. "Um Nolan is safe but I think the gunman was after your son or to get leverage over on you Jake"
