Sammy pulled out of the muddy spot that he was in, the tires almost screeching against the ground before he zoomed out of the woodland area we were in. I had so many questions, but I couldn't stop thinking about Jason, I know, I needed to shut up and focus on something else but it was impossible, this feeling I had was completely unfamiliar to me.

I couldn't cope.

"Sammy," I paused, catching his attention.

"Hm?" He responded, looking at me for a brief second before looking back at the dark road ahead. "Do you know who Andrea is?" I asked.

He sighed briefly before nodding, "I do now... she actually worked with us for a little, nothing too serious, just a spokesman for your father, she's pretty convincing," he paused, allowing me to process the information he had discovered and was now sharing with me. Andrea worked with my dad? The betrayal just got worse and worse. "She wanted to know about some deal my dad made with a group in Rome called the Banda della something-" I didn't get a chance to finish because he quickly corrected me.

"The Banda Della Madliana, your fathers newest allies" He finished for me.

I slowly nodded, "She wanted to know some information on the deal they were making... she also wanted money because she asked for the location of the exchange." I continued, I took this as my chance to find out as much information as I could before I got back to my parents, I knew then I would be given limited information.

"She isn't working alone, at least that's what we believe. The same people who made a move on you at the party have been real quiet these days, that can either mean they are plotting somethin or they have backed off, which is highly unlikely considering your father has had many of their people, well... killed, for what they did to you."

I just couldn't understand how my parents handled this. I know I was the one in the middle of all of this, but I literally couldn't cope with it, and i was only involved in it now. They had been living their lives like this since they were born in to it, I never understood how they did it.

My biggest concern was the people Andrea was working for finding out that Jason and I had escaped, and Jason also killed their people. Including Andrea.

"So what now? I can't exactly go in to hiding again, that clearly didn't work." I told him, looking over at him with a look of concern, I could not put my life on hold anymore.

"I don't know Savanna, I guess it's up to your parents to decide what's best for you... Mr McCann was supposed to look after you, you know, protect you from exactly this-" I shook my head, "But he did... Andrea was so nice, nobody would have expected this from her" I ended for him, he simply shrugged, stopping the car and turning off the engine.

I hadn't even realised we had arrived at the hospital. It was more of a private clinic, it was private because it was hard for my family to explain fatalities and injuries without giving away actual crimes.

"Let's not worry yourself any further, you've been through hell, and you look horrible," he paused making me laugh shaking my head at him. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up" I opened my door before getting out and joining him at the other side where we both walked in to the clinic together. It was pretty quiet as it was night time and I'm guessing they were only open for us, which made me feel bad of course because these people were literally working overtime for my annoying ass.

"Is Mrs Montano here?" Sammy asked the woman sat the front desk who nodded, "She's waiting with the doctor, just down the hall." She explained before Sammy thanked her and nodded at me to follow him. We walked down the hall and he opened the only door at the end of the hall, as soon as he opened it I could see my mom pacing back and forth, Maria sat on one of the chairs with the doctor opposite.
