EPILOGUE:

Clara:
I sat in my office, watching the ground outside. Multiple security officers guarded my doors, and I heard gunshots below.
"You're bleeding!" Colson touched me and I sighed, looking down at the knife slice on my arm.
"I'm fine, it's not deep." I insisted, but he made me sit down so he could help me.
"I'm so sorry baby. The plane is almost here, and you'll be taken to safety." I told Alice, who was shaking in fear on the couch. Effy held her hand, leaning her head against her shoulder. Dom leaned against the wall, and Gwen sat with the girls, trying to comfort them.
Bombs went off a few blocks down the street, and I shuddered. The New York mafia had come to Chicago, and there had been attacks over the last several months. Earlier today, they bombed our homes, and several businesses I owned. They now had our headquarters surrounded, and blood stained the streets. We were trapped inside, waiting on Darcy's emergency jet to get the girls out safely. Minutes felt like hours.
"We're going to keep you safe." I promised.
"Don't send us away! I'll stay and fight, I can shoot!" Effy insisted.
"No! You'll be safe in London." Gwen shook her head.
"Clara, the jet is here!"
"Mom, why didn't you protect me?" Alice cried, and I felt my heart break.
We made it up to the roof and wind from the jets whipped through my hair.
"I did everything I could to protect you, Alice. I'm so sorry. I love you so much." I promised her, not sure if I would survive the night.
"Why did you do it? Why did you pick the mafia over me?!" She cried.
"I never did. I love you more than anything, but I had to protect the lives of my employees. I'm so sorry. Go!"
"Come with us!" She begged and Colson shook his head.
"We can't baby, we have to stay and fight." He promised her he loved her, and our guards pulled them onto the plane and I watched as it safely lifted up into the sky. Bullets shot through the air, but they missed, and I grabbed an automatic, looking at Colson.
"Now is the time for the old mafia boss to return." I told him and he nodded, and I saw a glimpse of the man I first married.
