Sydney glares at Jayden making him falter in his steps but continues walking to him.
Sydney made it clear that no one should call him by his name during an operation since people could easily identify him.
Or something like that, I wasn't really concentrating when he gave out that order. As for Jayden, this is the first field mission he's been on and doesn't know the rule or hasn't bothered to know.
"Don." Jayden tries again making Sydney raise an eyebrow. "Sir." I almost laugh of how unsure Jayden is. A car drives to us making us all stop in our tracks and look at it.
"Not again." Sydney mutters irritatedly but his face shows amusement. Two women in leather attire and black four inch boots step out with guns.
"Sorry we're late. Let's get moving boys." Isabella says with a straight face as her Italian friend, Amelia, smirks and cocks her gun. Sydney walks to the them in large steps.
"Always with the entrance, my love." Sydney jokes giving her a kiss then muttering something only she could hear making her smile.
I remember what Jayden was doing before they came and I turn to him to find him already looking at me.
"Jada, please understand. You can't go in there. What if something happens to you?" Jayden asks and I'm sure my face is blank as I look at him.
"Why do you men always have to think that we can't handle ourselves in there?" Isabella asks as she walks to us.
"She's pregnant." Jayden whispers making Isabella gasp.
"Really? This is like deja vu then. Remember that time when we fought against those bloody Italians when I was eight months preggo?"
Isabella asks animatedly making me smile. She laughs then suddenly her face gets serious.
"I almost lost my baby. You can't do that to yourself. I'm sorry but I have to be with your man on this one." She says moving towards Jayden. Jayden perks up when she says 'your man' and I almost roll my eyes which is so uncharacteristic of me. Well, this me.
"It's clear." Sydney alerts everyone. "We're ready to move. You know the plans. Amelia, you'll be with me on the Northern side, Candice, you'll be with Tim and Jayden on the eastside where we believe your son is. Izzy, you'll be wi..."
"I'm going with Candice." Isabella says and doesn't wait for a response before she starts walking towards Tim's group where about seven men are positioned.
"I'll go with Jada too." I hear Mike say and we all turn to him. This might be so awkward for him being a federal agent and having to be here with us.
"No, you'll be on the lookout for the police or other annoying people in uniforms." Sydney says with a smirk but his eyes hold a challenging look.
I look at Mike who's clenching and unclenching his fists. He turns to me and he lets out a breath.
"Fine." He grits his teeth.
With that, we start moving.
We arrive at the place three minutes later just in time to find a woman with a veil coming out but I recognize her in a second.
I immediately point my pistol towards her head but Isabella moves in front of me.
"Don't, we don't even know if your son is in there." She whispers. Ivy or Cassy spots us just in time making her reach for her gun but someone shoots her hand making her drop it.
I look at Jayden with wide eyes. I didn't know he even had a silencer.
I try running towards Cassy who's trying to press on her wound as she runs into the building. I follow the blood drops to the elevator but it's already in use. I see Isabella run up the stairs with Jayden and I follow them.
My house was on the second floor. I run to my previous house that has a broken broken door, an apologetic Isabella and a trembling couple but no Jayden. I turn immediately suddenly frustrated and with a dizziness scare.
They must have gone up. I run to the stairs and climb as fast as I can in my condition. I hear footsteps behind me and they're much lighter to be a man's and by the familar clink of boots it must be Isabella.
Are you okay? You look pale." A voice that I've had a few times asks but I don't answer. I can see the black spots on my eyes but the will to save my son increases.
"Jada. Stop!" Amelia shouts but I don't listen to her but I suddenly feel so tired. My shoulders get heavier.
"Let me help you." I hear a female voice and I know it's Amelia but I don't have the will to push her away or tell her not to touch me.
"You're sweating." I hear her say but the voice sounds muffled.
"Ryan. Ryan." I try to say but I feel like my mouth isn't saying the correct things and I try again but the same thing happens.
I close my eyes feeling tired wanting to rest for a few minutes. It's funny how I can somehow think but I can't do anything. I can hear muffled voices. I somehow know that I need to let go to rest my body and I try to fight it. This shouldn't be happening right now.
I feel my body start relaxing after the struggle and I start coming back to conscious. The muffled voices start becoming clear and I can feel my body as seconds go by.
"Why would you let her come if you knew she's pregnant?" I hear Amelia argue and Isabella says something in a low tone. My energy is drained and I have no power to get up from wherever I am. Wait! My son! Ryan. I try getting up with a struggle.
"Uh uh. I'm not letting you up this time. Someone's coming to sit here with you and we'll bring your baby." Isabella says amd I start shaking my head negatively.
"Isabella is right. I can stay with you here if you want though I know you hate my guts." Amelia says walking and kneeling closer to me. I glare at her but she doesn't move or flinch. Isabella stands. "I'm going to find him for you." She says and with that she turns and leaves.
"I trust her. You should too. She keeps her promises." Amelia says making me snarl.
"Leave me alone. GO!" I shout the last word and this time she slightly flinches but recovers as fast.
"I'm sorry." She says in a whisper and I scoff.
"What for? For your people killing my dad, mother, brother and sisters or for taking away my son and throwing him away as I live knowing he's dead?
For setting our house on fire or for the torture I had to go through? For making me a cold and heartless bitch or for making me a woman with no family to go back to? You have to be clear why you're sorry Amelia Russo."
I spit her name just in time as a tear falls down her cheek.
"I didn't know. I'm sorry. For everything." She says her hands shaking and I let out a sarcastic laugh. Of course she wouldn't know.
"I'm strong enough to go find my son."
I say trying to get up after ignoring her words.
"I was supposed to give you this when you woke up.
Isabella went for it at an apartment in the second floor." She shows me a bottle of water but I look away trying to get up.
"Let me." She says moving towards me making me get the strength to stand up as first as I can.
"I can mana..." My sentence is cut off by three loud gunshots, a scream and two other gunshot sounds.
My mind goes suddenly dumb making me run towards the sound but stopped by a running boy with familiar curly black hair.
"Mom." Ryan shouts running to me. I open my arms wide and he runs to them.
"Jayden is dead." He cries but the words replay in my mind not hearing any other thing.
Jayden is dead.
Jayden is dead.
Jayden is dead.
