Ryland

                The sound of the door falling rang out behind us and the plan instantly restarted now at phase 4: KICK ASS! Everyone scrambled to do their job. Just as we had thought would happen, as soon as we had broken in to Rydel’s room about 5 guys showed up. One of them was Sabs father. “HEY! What is going on in here? How did you guys get out of the... Sabrina?” Sabs looked like she badly wanted to cry and be angry all at the same time. “Daddy how could you!” Sabs came over to me and leant into my chest. She must have needed some comforting. “Sabrina I was only doing this to help you and your career. It was never meant to go this far but your apparent friends here didn’t want to make a deal.” “You’re lying Daddy. This wasn’t for me. My career would have been fine. Hollywood Records had already signed me. You were just being greedy and wanted to get more money through me.”

Sabs was practically shouting at him now and I began to notice her father’s demeanor changing. He was getting angry and I knew exactly what he was going to do. At the exact moment that he lunged for her I had pushed Sabs behind me and punched in right in the nose. “Don’t you dare touch her you horrible jerk!” Suddenly there was chaos. Riker, Rocky, Ross and I each took had a bad guy and started in 4 full blown fist fights. Ellington ran into Rydel’s glass room and wrapped his arms around her. He gently lifted her up and slowly felt her whole body checking for injuries... at least I hope that is what he was doing! “Can you walk or do you need me to carry you?” Man this guy was smooth. Maybe I should ask him for pointers with Sabs. “Yes I can walk just don’t let me fall.”

Ellington and Rydel slowly began making their way out of the warehouse. I turned around and saw Sabs sitting off in a corner starting at her Dad and I. She didn’t need to be here for this part of the plan. “Sabs go with Ellington. We will be okay.” As if on cue Nichols and the NYPD FINALLY showed up. Rocky noticed and while getting punched in the gut said the best thing he could have possibly said in this situation. “Holy Shit Nichols did you guys stop for donuts before going to the wrong warehouse?” Nichols did not look amused but still got right down to work. “Alright boys, good work! Now I want the four of you out of here in the next 30 seconds. This job the NYPD can actually handle. The four of us were quickly replaced with a random officer and ran after the others.

From behind us you could periodically here an officer shout “this one’s down” or “i’ve got this one!” I couldn’t help but smile. Those dirty rotten scumbags were getting what they deserved and I couldn’t wait to free my parents. As we burst out of the warehouse door, the refreshing air of the city felt amazing on my skin. It didn’t smell good but there was sun today that was enough for me. As I stood up straight after catching my breath I was suddenly tackled by a 5 foot blonde thing. “Oh hello, did you miss me or something?” I gently wrapped my arms around her and hugged her close to myself; had her hair always smelt that good? “Thank you for standing up for me in there. You took on Uncle Gino and my Dad all in less than an hour.” I let her go unable to stop myself from smiling. “Anytime; if you ever need someone to keep you safe, just give me a call.” Without any warning at all she had wrapped her arms around my neck and was kissing me in front of everyone.

As she pulled back still holding on to my neck she simply said “how about you call me and we can just say I need you for dinner?” To say I was speechless would have been an understatement. I was flat out mute. All I could do was nod like a big idiot. “Way to go little brother. You actually got yourself the girl.” Rocky walked by me ruffling my hair. I turned around and took a hold of Sabs hand. “Oh shut up Rocky.”

Rocky

                I love bugging that kid. I walked over to Riker and patted him on the back, “How you feeling bro?” Riker looked dazed. He looked over at the ambulance where Ellington was helping Rydel sit up on the back of the vehicle. “We did it Rocky. We saved her.” I smiled at how awesome that sounded. “Yeah we did. She is OK.” Riker stood up and leant against a random police car. “It just seems so surreal. How do we just go back to normal life after all of that time? Will we be able to?” I thought about this question and told him the truth. “Riker, I don’t think things can ever be the way they were. It has been four months of this version of life. Things will find a normal again but it won’t be as it was. It can’t be. We will all be together though. Sabrina and Ryland, Rydellington, and Mom and Dad are all going to be a part of this new normal... Think you can handle that?”
