Going Home.

Chapter 18

I just glared at him and wondered what the heck he wanted to know.

"Well you know my name, so pretty much there is not much else to know." I replied as I crossed my arms over my chest.

Jae started to fuss around, he probably is missing his dad, so I tried pacing and rocking him gently in my arms.

"Oh my girl, I am sure there is more then that, I mean you are the daughter of Isaac Salvatore." Eric said. The way he said it sent a shiver down her spine. He knew her father, heck Mia hardly knew much about her father except for a few tattered memories and all the stories that Roo had told her.

Her mouth went before her brain kicked in. "How do you know my father?"

"Oh, there is much that I know about you. Mothers name was Daisy, your father was an accountant - quite a good one too and that they died when you were little. In a terrible car crash I believe." Eric spoke as if there was an underlining meaning to what he was saying.

"I don't know a great deal about that, I only know what my uncle told me." I try to keep my responses minimal as I don't want to give much away but I'm curious to hear what he has to say.

"Oh I am sure that there are a lot of things that your Uncle left out, like did he tell you that your father was the main accountant for the Mafia and a few other businesses around here? Did he tell you that when he died they had found out that he was giving good old Mickey Tanner intel on all of them?"

I felt my stomach drop as I just stared at him and I can tell by the look n his face that he was pleased with my response.

"I'm taking your expression as a 'No' that you didn't know what your father did." I'm getting frustrated with Eric as he seems to be enjoying himself .

"Look, if you know so much then why not enlighten me." I snap back at him. I can hear Jae moving around, so I go to try and pat him back to sleep.

"Cute kid you have there Mia, I'm curious though, when did you find the time to have a baby?" Eric asks as he leans forward in the chair.

I panic, I can't let him know that Jae is Rykers or he will probably use Jae as leverage for whatever he is trying to do. "I adopted him." I reply.

I hope to god that he can't see my face. I'm the worst liar ever, like absolutely hopeless at playing cards or anything as I totally can give myself away.

I hear a phone go off and panic, trying to remember if I had put my phone on silent. I turn to see Eric reach down the side of the chair that he is sitting on but as he pulls him arm up, I realise that it must be his phone.

"Speak." Eric says and I watch as his blank face turns into a grimace.

"SHIT!" He yells as he hangs up the phone and approaches me.

"Well it looks like your knights in shining armour have found out little hiding spot." He is now invading my personal space and I try to take a step back but my back collides with the wall.

He moves so that we a flush and he runs the back of his hand across the side of my cheek.

"Soon my Gattina you will find out everything and when you do you will want to come running to me." He whispered in my ear. I cringed as he places a kiss just below my ear on my neck.

He then stormed out of the room and shut the door. I shook my head to get myself to focus and ran up to the door but he must had locked it when he left cause as much as I twisted the handle and shoved the door, it didn't budge.

Jae started to get really restless, so I picked him up and tried rocking him around while I scoped out the room again.

As I tried the windows for the umpteenth time I heard what sounded like gun shots. I ducked down as they sounded quite close and I felt disorientated as to where they were coming from.

Jae was now wide awake and he started to let out a cry. I tried to shh him and rock him but it only seemed to make things worse.

I crawled across the ground, away from the window and not a moment too soon as once I reached the table in the window of the room, more gunfire went off and the window shattered all over the areas where we were only just hiding.

I feel around up above the table for Jaes bag and then my hand lands on a part of it and I pull the strap so that it falls down to where we are. There has to be something to calm Jae down to in there.

The shots were getting closer and I could now hear voices but I could not make out what they were saying.

As I dug through the bag I came across one of Jaes Dummies and let out a sigh of relief as I whipped it out and placed it into his mouth. It only took a couple of seconds but he calmed right down an it was like he almost drifted back off to sleep.

I swivels my legs around and scooted towards the chair to fish out my phone. As I hit the home button, I realise that my phone must had died as the screen is just black.

I hear a scream and then a thud coming from roughly where the window is, so I slide us both back under the table.

I look around myself to see if there is anything that I could use as a weapon but unless I break a leg off this table, there is remotely nothing of use.

The door handle is rattled a few times and then I hear someone yell "stand away from the door, I'm going to shoot the lock.".

I recognise the voice straight away as Blaze and I slide us further under the table and pull is over us to give us a bit more protection.

After a loud BANG! I hear the door getting kicked in and I look up to see Ryker barrelling into the room.

"Under here!" I call out and Ryker flips the table off us. He looks like he is about to take on the world as he scoops Jae and I up into his arms and places kiss al over us.

"Fucking hell Mia, I was so fucking scared when I could not find you both." He says while I continues to check us both out.

Xavier comes in and looks around the room. "Are you OK Mia? Is the little man alright? Did David get out OK? Is there anyone else? "

He is rattling off so many questions that it takes me a few minutes to put together what Xavier has said.

"What do you mean is David here? He is the one who brought us here in the first place?" I shout and Xaviers face just drops.
