Betrayed

So Be It...

Mia's POV

A whistle was blown loudly, signaling for me to start so I moved forward towards my opponent who was really my assistant trainer. My main trainer was standing on the side of the mat watching us. With my right arm wrapped up in a cast, I immediately blocked a punch being thrown at me with my left hand.
"Good." My assistant trainer, Darian nodded infront of me as we began to circle around the mat.

My arm ached but I still managed to keep everything moving. I was strong and no one needed to see my pain. Crying was for the weaks and I was definitely not weak.
"Okay, now Darian do the next move on her and see if she remembers what to do next." My main coach instructed Darian to do as we continued to circle the mat.
"Yes, sir." He did what he was asked, and attempted to slam me but I kicked him back with enough force with my leg and moved away. "Put a little more power into that kick, rookie. You want to show your opponent that it's gonna take a lot for them to strike you successfully."
"Right." I nodded, putting my attention back on Darian.

We've been at this since the start of yesterday and I already feel progress. Mainly because I was experienced already of course but what I was been taught right now, was something I've never seen before.
"Um, excuse my interruption, may I speak with her for a moment?" Grace asked my coach, making me and Darian stop what we were doing. He nodded in approval and I walked over towards her.
"Hey, what's up?" I planted lightly as we walked outside of the gymnasium. Or whatever it was called, I'm not sure but-
"I need you to do me a favor and step up in this, meaning that I want you in charge while I lay low. We don't have enough people that are willing to help us get things done, so me and my husband will have to do it. You have full access to whatever you want and whatever you need so just let me know."

I nodded in understanding, taking a big sip out of cold fresh water bottle. Man. I was thirsty.

"Okay, I'll....do it.....but....what's the plan? What do we do next? I mean Taylor unexpectedly switched sides on us along with Xavier. Liam's in prison for who knows how long."
"I know...." She said.

"They won't tell anyone anything right now until he goes to court and for our own safety, we shouldn't go under any circumstances. There's no telling if he gets held under pressure too much and ends up ratting us out. If he does, we're all done for forever." She emphasized her hands with the word forever as if Liam does snitch just to set himself free, they might as well kiss their lives goodbye. Including me. I've done bad things that would be impossible to forget.
"Liam's not gonna blow our cover.........I know he won't." I reassured her, smirking widely in the inside of my head. Recalling the events that happened the night we crashed his truck into Lauren's car. I had finally got what I wanted..........and soon it's gonna change everything between me and him for now on...
"Why are you smirking like that?" She questioned me with an eyebrow raised, bringing back into reality as I looked around.
"Uh, nothing." I quickly replied back, just to get her to change the topic as quickly as possible.

She rolled her eyes and checked her purse that was ringing. She glanced at the caller ID and immediately declined the call.
"Grayson has everything under control with the plan........but as in right now. We need a location on them before we move onto the next phase."
"Okay......and how are we gonna do that? They've destroyed all of their phones and whatever credit cards or-cash they're using is in unknown......they're actually smart enough by pulling that off, I mean." I shrugged, making her shaking her head.
"They may have outsmarted us with tracking wise? But there are tons of ways that we can go through by finding them. And to start off, we're gonna have to search for Taylor........if we find her, then she'll most definitely lead us to them."
"Are you sure she'll do that?" I asked her as a friend of mine passed by to exit the gym. I waved to her and she returned the wave and winked before disappearing through the doors.
"She has no choice but to......." Her voice grew stern, making me look her in the eyes.

"If....we find her. And she continues to refuse the demand of opening her mouth to tell us where they're at?........She will suffer the consequences with no other punishment but death for betraying her loved ones that have done nothing but gave her the finer things in life that rarely any child could have..........I tried to give her everything that I couldn't have................after my other child went missing because of Audrey and Leah's parents I was deeply depressed and devastated.....because they lied and they still are lying to me. They were watching him that day I was at work.............and when I came home, exhausted and tired.......My son was gone. They kidnapped him and took a private flight to who knows where............ a year later, I had a location on them when I discovered a few things while searching their abandoned house before it got demolished. It sent me right to them. I confronted them and threatened them to give him up or the police was going to get involved, but they didn't. They claim that my son had ran off somewhere and never returned to them. I didn't want to believe them even if they were telling the truth or not so I left it at that...............while I was visiting the town they were hiding in and I had found out that Andrea was pregnant. With Leah......it made me mad that they managed to steal my child, let him go missing and then have a kid on their own."

"Don't you think that there's more to the story than what they were leading on? It could've been something happened and if they told you where your son was, it would cost their lives or something." I tried suggesting but she began shaking her head.
"No, I don't think so. They've would've been told me the truth. It's been about 30 fucking years. I still til this day don't know where my son is and he's probably dead somewhere. He won't even remember who I am if I were to find him alive."

"That's why I'm doing what I'm doing." She looked at me in the eyes. "Revenge..........and I'm gonna carry this all out until they tell me where my son is at." She exhaled loudly, and dusted her luxurious coat off.

"If killing one of theirs takes it for them to come clean with the truth.........then so be it."
