Ag's pov:

We arrived at Donatello's house a few hours later. He unlocked the door and led us to an elevator that was at the end of a long hallway.  He pressed the down down arrow and shortly after the elevator came and we got in. My phone went off so I checked my notifications, it was the unknown number.

Unknown number

You only have 1 more day left kid and I'm getting impatient. Do you have my money yet or not?

I have it now, just tell us where you are and we'll come give it to you.

Meet me in Texas at an old restaurant, Danny's Pizzeria, on 487 Walnut Ave.

We're on our way.


"Guys they messaged me again"

"What did they say?" Emmi asked.

"They asked for their money and I told them we have it. They gave me a location to meet them."

I turned my phone towards everyone else so they could read the message.

"Perfect, I have additional info for you guys but I'll tell you what it is when we get there." Donatello says.

A good 2 minutes go by and we arrived to what seemed like an underground headquarters front desk. We stepped off and followed him to the desk.

"Hello Susan, it's nice seeing you again." He smirked at her, leaning into the desk.

"Hey Don, What do you need?" She seemed annoyed.

"I need a key card to room 4320AA."

"Sure thing."

She handed him a blue card, staring at us.

"who are these two?"

"Oh these two are Emmi's friends. They're in a pickle right now but anyways I have to go. Talk to you later."

He winked at her and took us to the room. He swiped the card over the scanner and the doors slid open.

I'm guessing this is where the fun happens.

There were workers going back and forth with papers in their hands discussing stuff.

"Follow me" he says.

Don led us into a small room up the stairs that gave an overview of the entire room outside of the one we were in.

"We've been trying to track Anna down for the past week so far and found the hideout they've been keeping her. I know it doesn't matter anymore since they gave us a location to meet up but I thought maybe you guys would want to do something with that information. They're hanging out in an abandoned warehouse in the dessert right now. Once they're at the place they told you to meet them, my crew will plant bombs there. If you want to though, I'd thought we could make this a little bit more fun and give them payback since they've been stressing the fuck out of us for a while now." He suggested.

"Hell yeah let's do it." I exclaimed.

Emmi and Julia nodded in agreement.

"Ok good, I'll send my team out soon. Let's go get Anna."

as we were leaving, a man wearing a black bomber jacket over a black t shirt and black cargo pants came up to us shouting Donatello's name. Don turned around and lit up by the sight of the man. Once the guy got closer to us, he reached out his hand to greet him.

"Oswald, just in time. I was just about to head out."

"Good thing I caught up to you in time then. I have some great news, I took care of the police issue and the girls are free to go. You guys can roam around now."

"Thanks a lot man, I'll talk to you later. I have to do some important stuff."

"No problem, I'll see you soon. My wife says hi by the way."

"Tell her I said hi and I hope to see her soon at the dinner party."

"Will do."

We left the HQ and got into the car. He took us to a Airline Hangar that had a private jet waiting for us.

"Driving there would take too long so we're taking my plane." Don said.

We got in the jet and immediately took off. I took a seat by the window and stared at the clouds. As much as I wanted to enjoy the ride, I was too focus on getting to Anna as fast as possible. Donatello was talking to Emmi but stopped when his phone started ringing. He picked up the phone and chatted with the person on the other line for a bit before hanging up. Sorrow began to fill his face. He hung up and dropped his phone. I glanced over at the other two, who was just as worried as me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Dominic, My brother, was murdered." He choked

Oh shit.

" H-how'd he die? If that's ok for me to ask."

"He was in his house asleep and 10 people broke in. They stole a lot stuff including family items that were passed down for years. They tied him up and brutally murdered him then they lit his house on fire after."

I sat there in silence not knowing what to say. He tried to cover up the pain that was showing on his face by distracting himself with his phone.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick. I'll be right back." His voice cracked.

He got up and left the 3 of us alone with a cigar in his hand.

3 hours go by and we finally landed at Texas. There was a car waiting for us on ground level so we got in and drove off.

This is it. We're finally gonna get her back.
