What is Love?

Girl Power

NICHOLAS

It has been a month since everything in my life went to complete and utter crap.

First it was my father taking Diana from me. Next was finding out she escaped and fled back to Ireland with her ex. I had to message the G.I saying that the meeting was canceled and now they want my head. Not that they didn't wish to kill me before. Now after a month of searching for Alonzo and Derek, I find out they were blown up in a airplane.

I'm currently standing in the middle of no where with my men searching the wreckage of the plane for their remains. I don't know why they were on that plane but i assume it had something to do with the missing prisoner. This is a declaration of war and I won't stand for it!

I have not yet told Vanessa that he is presumed dead. I don't know how I would even tell her. I had her and Hallie both locked into separate rooms before I left. Vanessa kept screaming at me and begging to know what happened to him.

"We've only uncovered one body so far. We've got to have hope it isn't Alonzo or Derek." Ryder says, walking up beside me and lighting a cigarette.

"Do you have anything else, or are you pissing me off just to see when I go for your throat?!" I growl.

"Relax, I have some news for you. Eric Moore has contacted the major mafia kings and asked them to meet on a serious matter. Rumour has it that he wants to modify the Omertà code and contract. No one knows which rule but I figured you'd want to know about it." I give him a sinister smile.

"Exactly where and when does this meeting take place? I've been dying to tear him limb from fucking limb."

"The U.K. at one of his warehouses. The meeting is being held there at around 3:00 in the afternoon, tomorrow. You aren't allowed to bring in any weapons." I turn around and march to the limo that I arrived here in. Ryder follows me and we both climb into the back seat.

"Then I guess I'll just have to bring my pet instead, won't I?" Ryder visibly gulps and scoots away from the sleeping tiger.

I bend down and pet Sergeant until he wakes up and starts purring at my touch. He is the only thing that has kept me sane since Alonzo disappeared. He is hope that whoever goes against me gets ripped to shreds.

"I thought you weren't a cat person." Ryder says breaking the silence and causing my feline companion to look up at him.

"I wasn't until I learned that some cats are much more useful than the average hound. Isn't that right, boy?" I scratch Sergeant's ears making him relax again and rest his head on my knees.

"How is that?"

"They not only have a nasty bite, but claws. And my claws are about to release once I find the exact location of my fiance. I know she is in Ireland but I haven't figured out where. Going to this meeting may be exactly what I need to get that information." I need to find her before she gives birth or I fear I will never get a chance to see my child.

VANESSA

How could he do this to me? To me?!! He promised to me years ago that he'd never lock me up like dad did to me for years. Now I'm stuck in my room with my babies and I have no clue as to where their father is.
