"Y/n calm down." Carter tried to pull me back as I rushed out of the warehouse after minutes of pacing. "Someone get her." He huffed out.

I quickly fumbled with my keys to unlock my car. I wasn't sure how I planned to get her out but I just knew that I had to. I knew what state of mind she was in right now, she was always fragile but right now... she was substantially delicate and jail was something she could not handle.

"Y/n." Just as I went to slide in, I was pulled out and the door was slammed shut. "Look at me." Martin spoke softly but I shook my head.

"No." I shoved him off of me. "I have to get her out, I have to."

"And how you gonna do that, huh?" He pushed me back against the car when I tried to move, his eyes squinting. "You just gonna walk up and demand she be released? Get yourself thrown into prison too? Ruin everything?"

I let out a huff, the logic side of my actions slowly making itself aware. "We just talked last night. You don't know, she can't be in there."

"I do know." He responded, his voice lowering. "I know everything about every one of you." The way he said it made my skin crawl but I relaxed at that revelation for Flowers sake. "I know how it was when she went to jail for the first time, and I know she wouldn't be able to handle a second time. But we need to be smart.. we need a plan. Okay?" I lowered my head but she lifted it up, holding my face as he made me look him in the eye. "Okay?"

I nodded. "Okay."

"Good." He pulled me into a hug before rubbing my back. "I know you, Y/n. I know you're a good person.." Pulling back, he smiled at me. "That's why I trust you.. come on." We walked back into the warehouse where everyone was silently waiting

I had a feeling I knew exactly what he meant by 'trusting me' but it wasn't the time to go into that now. I have a pink princess to fucking save.

"Okay, here's the plan." Martin rolled out the whiteboard before tossing me a marker. "Feel like being co-captain today?" I swallowed thickly, nodding slightly. "Okay. First we figure out if she's just in jail for a minor infraction or something bigger. How do we figure that out?" He looked at me.

"She gets one phone call.. she could let us know what she's been arrested for?" A smile spread on his lips as he nodded. "That was right?"

"It was." We all then looked at Carter when his phone started to ring. His eyes widened. "Answer it Carter." Martin said smoothly and he nodded quickly before pulling the phone out of his pocket and answering it.

"Hello?" He automatically grinned. "Oh shit Flower. We're all- huh?" He then frowned. "Oh.. okay." I watched with furrowed with furrowed eyebrows as he walked towards me with the phone outstretched. "It's for you." He mumbled.

I grabbed the phone slowly before putting it to my ear. "Flower?"

"Yeah." She said, her voice sounding broken as she sniffed. "I would've called you but I don't know your number by heart."

I chuckled softly before turning my back on the protruding eyes. "It's okay, I understand. I'm just happy you called. Can you give me the briefing please?"

"Um, I was going to pick up some coffee this morning for you." I smiled. "Because I owe you one and I know you like coffee in the morning. I was just walking down the street and the cops pulled up and I.. I couldn't run away fast enough this time. They said I'm going away for good.. I don't want to go back-"
