Olivia's Mission

Chapter 13: Bad Can Turn Into Good

(Jame's POV)

"MORNING JAMES, LET'S GET UP", I hear Nate yell. I shoot up in bed, smacking my head on the top bunk, "You okay mate?", I hear Nate ask me. I rub my head, feeling a bump forming, "What the heck Nate? You scared the crap out of me", I say. Nate laughs, "Well, you sleep in too late, let's get up and get some food", he says. I roll my eyes, sighing, "Fine", I say as I get out of bed. Nate sighs, "Look, you gotta quit with that sadness, your a grown man, suck it up, your here, you train", he says as he exits the cabin. I sigh, stretching, "Jerk", I say under my breath. I then take my clothes off, leaving my underwear and no shirt as I get my uniform, "James, your late", I hear Commander Braun say. I turn around swiftly to see my Commander, looking at me, "Hey! I have just underwear on, what the heck Commander", I say annoyed as I cover myself with my towel. Commander Braun sighs, "I can care less, get your butt in gear, we are doing more training today but, it's harder than before", she says sternly, leaving the cabin. I sigh, getting my uniform on, "I just wish I was at home", I say softly as I exit the cabin.

(Olivia's POV)

"You're telling me, Samantha Wells went by my house?", I ask. Daniel nods, "Yep, the last place I saw her", he says. I sigh, rolling my eyes, "No wonder you were stalking me, you wanted to find out more about Samantha if my family knew her huh?", I ask. Daniel shakes his head, "No, I stalked you because I thought you didn't have a husband and you were a single mother so, I liked you", he says. I sigh, glaring at Daniel, "Now you know", I say annoyed. Daniel nods, "So, that's all I got for you", he says. I sigh, "Thank you", I say softly as I walk out of the courtyard. I head to my car, tired and ready to go home, "You kicked butt there Olivia, that was awesome", exclaims Scarlett. I sigh, getting in my car, "Well, someone's gotta speak up", I say softly as I start the car. Scarlett gets into the passenger seat, closing the door, "I'm sorry I wasn't helping you, I'm terrified of prison courtyards", she says softly. I drive out of the parking lot, stopping at the stoplight, "It's fine", I say. Scarlett sighs, "Well, are you gonna piece it together when you get home?", asks Scarlett. I start to drive again and nod, "Yeah, for now, I'm tired", I say softly. Scarlett nods as we drive.

20 minutes later

I dropped off Scarlett at Agents Of Warriors and drove back home. I park my car into the garage, turning the car off, "Hey, how was your day?", I hear my father ask. I get out of my car and shut the door, smiling tiredly, "It was fine, just tired", I say softly. My dad smiles, "Well, Caleb and Sophia are settled down so you don't have to worry about screaming and yelling", he says softly. I smile, "Thank you dad", I say as I enter the kitchen. I then look to see Caleb sitting on the couch, watching T.V, Sophia in her playpen, "Hey guys", I say. Caleb swiftly turns around and gasps, "MOMMY", he yells as he jumps off the couch, running to me. I smile as Caleb hugs my legs, too short to hug me personally, "Hey buddy, how was school?", I asked as I sat down on the couch, Caleb sitting next to me. Caleb smiles, "I got to pick out of the treasure box today", he says happily. I smile, "That's great!", I say. Caleb giggles, "We got a new student also, her name is Annabelle", he says. I smile, "That's cool", I say as I get up off the couch, picking up Sophia from her playpen. Sophia sucks on her thumb, laughing, "Dad, did you feed Sophia?", I asked him as I walk in the kitchen, Sophia on my hip. My Dad peaks out of the pantry, smiling, "Yes I did, it took a while because she only listens to you but yeah I did feed her", he says. I laugh, bouncing Sophia, "Thank you", I say softly. I then head upstairs and walk in my room, laying Sophia on the bed, "Where is that file?", I ask myself as I look around in my closet. I then find the file, laying it on the bed. I sit on the bed, picking up Sophia and putting her on my lap. I then pick up the file, filing through it, "Where is that picture?", I exclaim as I look through the file. Sophia laughs, sucking on her thumb as she sits on my lap, "Yes!", I say happily as I find the information I need. I look through the information I have, "Hey Liv, you going to work tomorrow?", asks my dad from downstairs. I sigh, "No, I'm off tomorrow", I say. I then piece all of this together, "Wait, hold on", I say to myself, looking through the information. I then drop the files, breathing heavily, "Hey Liv, your brother is gonna take care of the kids tomorrow", says my dad as he walks into my room. I look up, my hands shaking with fear, "Hey, what's up baby girl?", he asks me concerned as he sits next to me on the bed. I breathe heavily, my hands shaking massively, "The disappearance of Samantha Wells, she disappeared on our street Dad, I'm scared for my life, what if that kidnapper is still roaming our street?", I ask scared, holding Sophia close to me. My father rubs my back encouragingly, "It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you and your family", says my father. I sigh, bouncing Sophia on my lap, "That kidnapper is out there, I'm gonna find him, even if it means taking risks", I say. My father looks at me concerned, "What do you mean by whatever it takes?", he asks me. I look up at him sternly, "I'm saying, I will do whatever, anything just to put him in jail and rescue that the poor girl who is probably suffering right now", I say. My father sighs, "Be careful, you don't want to put Sophia and Caleb in danger, especially when they are only four and one besides, James also isn't here, you don't have help", he says. I nod, looking down to see Sophia asleep in my arms, "Trust me, I will do my best to not put them at risk, I'm just scared something is gonna happen to that girl, the people that took her, I'm afraid they are gonna come after the kids and I, we are next, I know it", I say softly. My dad nods, "Well, nothing will happen to you as long as your mom and I are here, I'll have Hudson come over too to protect you", he says with a small smile. I nod, "Okay, thank you", I say softly. My dad smiles, "Anything for my favorite child", he says as he ruffles my hair. I laugh, "Dad, I'm not a child anymore", I say. My father laughs, "I know, I wish you were though", he says as he heads downstairs. I sigh as I sit up, carrying Sophia downstairs with me, "Hey, I'm gonna make some food for Caleb tonight, you can feed Sophia", says my dad from downstairs. I nod, "Okay, thank you", I say as I get to the bottom of the stairs. I then walk over and sit Sophia down in her feeding chair, "Mommy, can we have ice cream for dinner?", asks Caleb as he jumps up and down, smiling. I shake my head, putting Sophia's bib on, "No, it's unhealthy and you don't need any more sugar", I say. Caleb sighs, "But I don't want veggies", he says in a grumpy mood. I get Sophia's food out of the fridge, closing the fridge, "Well, ice cream isn't gonna make you strong and healthy", I exclaim as I open the baby food. Caleb sighs, "Well I, fine", he says hesitating. I smile as I feed Sophia, "Good, now go help Grandpa in the kitchen while I feed Sophia", I say. Caleb nods, "Okay, can I have ice cream after dinner?", he asks. I nod, "Maybe, it depends if you eat all your food", I say. Caleb nods, "Okay", he says as he runs into the kitchen. I then hear the front door close, "I'm back!", I hear my mother say. I keep feeding Sophia, smiling, "Hey mom", I say as I stand up, the baby food in my hand. My mother smiles at me as she walks into the kitchen, "Hello sweetheart", he says happily as she hugs me. I hug her back, smiling, "Hey", I say as I let go. My mother smiles, looking from Sophia sitting in her chair, to me with baby food in my hands, "I guess it's feeding time huh?", she asks as she smiles at Sophia. I nod, "Yep, then it's playtime", I say. My mother sighs happily, going over to Sophia, "Your such a cute little munchkin, yes you are", he says as she bops Sophia's tiny nose. Sophia laughs, sucking her thumb, "So, how have you been?", asks my mother as she looks at me. I sigh, "Good, just, tired and worn out", I say softly. My mother sighs, "Is it because of the kids? I can take care of them", she says. I shake my head, "No no, it's just work", I say softly as I pick up Sophia from her chair, wiping her hands off with a rag. My mother nods, "Well, go relax and watch some T.V, I'll play with Sophia", she says. I shake my head, "No, I'm fine, I'm gonna go play with her", I say as I bounce Sophia. My mom nods, "Okay, well, I'll keep Caleb company", she says. I shake my head, "Mom, I got it, all you do is sit Caleb in front of the T.V while you do your thing, that's not entertaining him", I say. My mother laughs, "I was kidding, I was just seeing if you would allow it, just checking how good of a mother you are", she says with a smile. I roll my eyes, "Why would you think I'm a bad mother?", I ask her confused. My mother laughs, "Well I don't know, I was just checking, you're rarely with the kids and, kids need attention, especially Sophia", she says as she ruffles Sophia's short dirty blond hair. Sophia sticks her tongue out, smiling, "I know mom", I say softly. I then head over to the living room and put Sophia on the rug, letting her crawl around, "Caleb, can you watch your sister for me while I change really quick?", I ask. Caleb nods, watching the T.V, "Sure", he says as he stares at the T.V. I sigh, turning off the T.V, "Mommy", whines Caleb. I look at him sternly, "Keep an eye out for your sister, okay?", I say. Caleb sighs, "Okay Mommy", he says as he gets on the floor, playing with Sophia. I head upstairs, walking into my room. I get a t-shirt and put it on, "MOMMY", yells Caleb from downstairs. I run downstairs, seeing Caleb looking worried, "What's wrong?", I ask softly. Caleb looks around worriedly, "Sophia is missing", he says scared. I sigh, "Caleb, I told you to watch her", I say annoyed. Caleb looks down, shuffling his feet, "I was, she was staying in one place so I decided to watch T.V", he says softly. I sigh, rolling my eyes, "Don't take your eyes off her, even when she is in one place", I say annoyed, looking around the house. Caleb shuffles his feet, "I didn't mean to lose her, I just thought she would be in one place so I wouldn't have to watch her", he says softly. I head upstairs, looking in her room, "Well, when I say to watch her, you watch her", I say annoyed as I head back downstairs. I then find my dad in the dining room, reading a newspaper, "Hey Dad, have you seen Sophia? Caleb didn't watch her and now she is missing", I say worriedly. My dad looks up from his newspaper, his glasses slanted on the bridge of his nose, "I haven't seen her, the last time I saw her was with you", he says concerned. I sigh, feeling sad and worried, "I can't find her anywhere, wait where is Mom?", I ask. My Dad shrugs his shoulders, "I think she went to the market", he says. I sigh, getting my phone and calling her, "Hey Liv, what's up?", she asks. I sigh, "Mom, do you have Sophia with you?", I ask. My mother sighs, "Yes I did but, I asked a stranger to hold her while I put some stuff in the cart and when I looked back, she was gone", she says softly. I freeze, "Did you get a description of the man?", I ask worriedly. My mother sighs, "I did but, I can't find him now, how are we gonna find her?", she asks softly. I feel my body shake, my brain telling me to cry, "Mom, I'll be back", I say softly as I hang up the phone. I then go to the one person who maybe would able to help me. I call James, hearing him answer the phone, "Hey honeybee, look I can't talk right now", he says. I sigh sadly, "James, it's an emergency, Sophia has gone missing", I say, hot tears coming down my cheek.
