Few days later, while sitting in her office Shelby gets a phone call.
Shelby:Hello
Madame senator: so its true. Your alive
Shelby: Madame senator?
Madame senator: been awhile Shelby.
Shelby: yes it has. Is everything okay
Madame senator: we need to talk
Shelby: okay
Madame senator: not on the phone in person. Come to my office as soon as possible
Shelby: of course I'll be right there
* call ends*
Shelby ran to the elevator and almost made it to the front door before Ryker surprised her.
Shelby: oh Ryker
Ryker: where are you going
Shelby: you maybe my fiance but I don't need to tell you everything
Ryker: Shelby
Shelby: i can't talk i have to go
Ryker: it was the senate wasn't it? Why do you not tell me what goes on there.
Shelby: Ryker get out of my way now.
Ryker: your my fiance and I've known you forever but right now it feels like I've never known you.
He starts to walk away but Shelby grabs his hand.
Shelby: i got a call from Madame Senator she requested my presence. If its serious I promise I'll tell you. Please just watch my daughters. I'll be back i promise.
Ryker: you better come back
Shelby: i will
Ryker swiftly grabs Shelby and gives her a kiss.Ryker: i love you
Shelby: i love you too
Then Shelby left on her motorcycle.
Few minutes later at the senate building
Shelby: i was very surprised to get your call Madame senator
Madame senator: Shelby I have information and you may not like it.
Shelby: do the other senators know about this
Madame senator: they dont trust you enough right now to be around you. They don't know you like I do.
Shelby: what is it
Madame senator: you may have killed Jackson but he wasn't your only enemy.
Shelby: i figured as much.
Madame senator: Shelby how much do you know about the Youngblood's?
Shelby: they will do anything to get power. They didnt want to have any to do with the mafia.
Madame senator: they have been seen recently around Damiens territory.
Shelby: wait Damien Reynolds
Madame senator: you know him
Shelby: yeah he was friends with Jackson until he changed. He's a friend and ally.
Madame senator: you need to go to talk to him. I have men who claimed the Youngblood talked to him. You need to find out exactly what the said because there is a war coming a huge one ,mafia against mafia.
Shelby: what else do you know
Madame senator: the Youngblood are gathering allies. They are building an army. One that could destroy all that was still standing after the disaster.
Shelby: thank you.
Madame senator: be safe and stay strong.
Shelby: i will.
Madame senator: i better be invited to that wedding
Shelby: of course
Madame senator: now go shelby and be the badass leader i know you are.
Shelby leaves with a smile on her face. All the way home she pondered everything that the Madame senator had told her. She was hoping that there wouldn't be another war but there always has to be. When she arrived at the mansion the first thing she did was run to her office. She felt so overwhelmed that she started crying. Ryker raced through the door.
Ryker: shelby what happened? whats wrong?
Shelby couldn't speak because she was choking on tears.
Ryker: hey I got you
Shelby: Youngblood's
Ryker: what?
After an hour of sibbing Shelby was able to speak.
Shelby: Youngblood's! A new war is coming and I can't even stop it.
Ryker: honey your powerful but not that powerful
Shelby: i promised these families peace and another war has just begun. Ryker I need go see an ally.
Ryker: you won't go alone. I will come with you . Who's the ally?
Shelby: Damien Reynolds he was a friend of Jackson before... before he changed.
Ryker: is he anything like Jackson
Shelby: far from it actually. He actually tried to protect me multiple times. He stopped being friends with him after they had a huge fight because Jackson started abusing me
Ryker: wait are you saying it was more than once he hurt you?
Shelby: yes Ryker it was more than once. And he would have done more if it wasn't for Damien.
Ryker: well i can't wait to meet this superman.
Next Morning
Shelby was still packing when Amelia and Sierra came in
Sierra: mommy why can't we come with you to see uncle Damien
Shelby: because this isn't like the nice visits we usually have with him. I have something important to talk about
Amelia: its not fair. Daddy gets to go
This made Shelby smile. The girls have been starting to call Ryker daddy recently. They weren't even married yet and the girls were already referring to him as their dad
Shelby: well i need him for moral support
Amelia: whats morle support
Shelby sits on the couch and Amelia sits next to her.
Shelby: well its actually moral not morle. Moral support is being their for someone who doesn't have the strength to do it on their own whether through words or actions.
Out of nowhere Amelia through her arms around ShelbyAmelia: please don't go mommy
Shelby: oh my sweet baby girl. You know everything I do is to protect you and your sister but I made a promise that I would bring peace. Uncle Damien nay have information that may help with that.
Sierra joined in the hugging. Ryker walked in.
Ryker: whats wrong girls
Sierra: do you and mommy have to go
Ryker: yes Sierra
Amelia: but daddy
Amelia ran up and jumped into Rykers arms.
Ryker: you two know you mom is a leader and leaders do anything to protect the people they care about.
Shelby: its time for us to got
Ryker held Amelia's hand and Shelby held Sierra's all the wau to the door.
Shelby hugged and kissed the girls and Ryker did the same.
Shelby: we love you babies
Sierra and Amelia: love you too
Then Ryker and Shelby took of on their motorcycles to Damien's house.
