Scott McBaran's POV
I was looking at the abandoned warehouse that was the port for Shawn's operation. I cannot believe that I was going to go after my brother after I mourned for him. I guessed you never know what life throws at you at the moment.
I was nodding at my guys before we moved in the shadows to get closer before I saw some guards patroling the parameter. Shit!
"Damn it! I thought we don't have to take others as well. I hate hitting people," Conall said before I was arching my eyebrow at him before he turned to look at me as I was smirking.
"What?" He whispered before I chuckled.
"Nothing,"
"Just spit it out, McBaran," Conall said before I smirked even more.
"Nope," I said before I was moving forward and I was looking at the guards before I was taking my crossbow and shot the sleeping needles to put them out. They felt the sting before their bodies dropped to the floor. I smirked.
"After you, Reid," I said as I was putting the crossbow on my shoulder.
"Show off," Conall said before Edmond smirked and Lucas was rolling his eyes. We were moving alongside the walls as the shadows were covering most of our bodies. And we blended in as well with the shadows with our black outfits.
"You know, I kind of miss this group activity. I wish we were still at the academy,'' Edmond said as I was looking out for other guards that might be coming our way.
"Edmond?" Lucas asked.
"Yes?" He replied.
"Shut up," Lucas said before Edmond was pouting and we were pulling our hook and shoot it up into the sky before it landed on the side of the walls and gripped it. I was putting the crossbow on the side before we were climbing up the walls as I was looking at the moon.
"You know, this breeze is nice at night," Edmond said as Lucas was sighing. I think he was done with Edmond as I was trying to focus here.
"Edmond, can we not do the sentiments right now? I was trying to rescue my wife as well yours. So, if you please,��' Conall said before Edmond was shrugging.
"Eh, you need us, Reid, since you're not expert in the combat skills," Edmond replied before I was smirking and Lucas snickered.
"You wanna bet?" Conall asked Edmond before we were landing on the rooftop. I was looking at the see-through window and I saw our women were tied up and Karla was speaking to someone. Karla, my love.
I was gripping my hands into fists and when I was about to do something stupid, Lucas held me and he was shaking his head.
"Not yet. We have the plan, remember? Follow the plan, Scott," Lucas reminded me before I was sighing. Then, I nodded before we were moving and Karla was glaring at the woman before I saw my brother came in. Damn it.
I wonder what he was talking about.
"Come on," Lucas called after me before I was going onto the side of the roof and we were planting some C4 for later. I was looking at the abandoned warehouse before we were taking our position.
"Wait for the signal, Scott," Lucas said as I was scoffing at him.
"And since when I did not?" I asked him as I was arching my eyebrow at him.
"Since the last time we failed in the group activity at the academy," Lucas said before I cursed under my breath. Damn this man and his memory. I sighed before I was nodding at him and we're taking the four sides of the abandoned house before we were straddling on the side of the building as we hooked ourselves.
"Ready?" Conall asked us in the com before I was replying to it.
"Ready,"
"As I would ever be," Edmond said.
"Let's get our wives back," Lucas said before Edmond snickered.
"Well, not Scott though. It was his woman for now," Edmond said as I was rolling my eyes at him.
"Which is soon to be my wife," I said before Edmond gasped.
"Ah, finally. I have been waiting for those words. I told you, Russian women know how to make a man wants them. I mean, look at Conall. You guys will be brothers-in-law, how sweet," Edmond said before Conall was clearing his throat.
"On the count of three, two, one, go!" He said before we were smashing the windows and turned up the heat.
Karla Kuznetsov's POV
As Karina, AKA my cousin was about to take something from my body which was no doubt my blood, the windows smashed and 4 men stood before us.
"Long time no see, Shawn," Edmond said as Conall was looking at my captor.
"Give us our wives and we will not harm you one bit. We might take you in but I think that can be arranged," Conall said before Scott was looking at me. I smiled before Karina was baring her teeth at them.
"Guards! Get them!" Karina shouted before I was looking at the others. Kat was up and Lyana as well as Ari. They were ready to take off if they did not stick on the walls.
"Damn the chains. I never liked them," Lyana said before she was releasing herself and Ari as well.
"Eh, it's not that hard once you get used to it," Ari said as she was releasing Kat and Lyana was undoing my chains. They snapped open before we were looking at each other.
"Well, I think we have to help our husbands as well, don't you think?" Kat said before I was rolling my eyes at her.
"Fiancé, remember?" I said as I was arching my eyebrow at her before something was coming our way.
"Watch out, incoming!" Conall shouted before Kat was deflecting the knives that were coming at us.
"Why don't we show what we're made of, girls? I think this party is overdue without us," Kat said before I was taking my stance as well as Ari and Lyana.
"For our future," Lyana said.
"For our hope," Ari continued.
"For justice," Kat added.
"And for our time," I said before we were coming at the goons. We were kicking some asses before I was looking for Karina. I don't see her anywhere before I saw that she was running to the rooftop. I was after her before Kat was calling after me.
"Karla!" She shouted but I ignored her as I was after our cousin that has turned from goody-two-shoes into a badass female that gone wrong.
I was running up the stairs as I was following my cousin's footsteps before we were reaching onto the rooftop as I was looking at her, huffing and she was facing me.
"Stop this nonsense, Karina. You don't have to do this," I said to her as she was smirking at me.
"And what you think that I will stop doing this? This madness that has been consuming me and only Shawn knows how to control it," she said as I was looking at her. I can see that she was wearing her heart on her sleeves right now.
"Wait, are you—"
"No, do not say that word. I hate it! Look what it did to my parents! So, don't you dare say it," she shouted at me before I was looking at her. The tears were there on the brim of her eyes before I was nodding at her.
"Okay. I won't tell it. But you have to know that if he wants you bad, he would not be like this, cousin," I said as Karina was looking at me.
"And what do you know about it? You don't even have a ring on your finger so that means he did not want you as well," Karina said as I gulped.
"Yes, but we always back each other up. Look at what happened tonight. Scott loves me and he came to save me. If you want to know his feelings for you, Karina, you have to go away and see if Shawn came after you," I said before Karina was looking at me. She smiled.
"Thank you, Karla," and with that Karina jumped from the rooftop.
"No!" I shouted.
