Connect the Dots.

Adriana's POV

In front of me was the so called boss with his pants and boxers down, fucking a brunette on a bookshelf. I groaned and immediately chucked the set of keys that were in my hand. One key got stuck in the frame of a shelve the brunette's head was by. "Oh my god!" She screamed and pulled away from the heated kiss they shared. I start laughing loudly, holding my stomach. "Holy shit! Her face was hilarious!" I laughed out then slam the office doors closed. "Time to get down to business" I growled out and grabbed something that was close by. I threw it like I holding a spear, towards his back. He quickly moved and watched as the item went straight into the brunette's bare stomach.

Her eyes widen as tears started to brim her eyes. "O-oh my" She stuttered out and fell to the floor. The man caught her then shoved the item more into her stomach. She screamed out in more pain and then died. "That wasn't necessary you could've saved her" I growled and watched as her eyes went dim in color. "Wasn't necessary, she was only a play thing." His voice was low and musky. I sighed and rubbed my forehead then swiftly ran towards him ."Your turn!" I yelled and went straight for his stomach, quickly hitting him in the side with a quick painful jab then kicked him behind his knee. He quickly recovered then got up punching me in the shoulder. "AGH!" I yelled, that shoulder was the one I got shot at. I groaned and held it for a second before going back at him, I ran then jumped up and kicked him in the stomach knocking us both down. I quickly got up and straddles his waist, starting to punching him in the nose over and over.

I reached down, jabbed my finger in between his ribs then pulled them up. He yelled in pain only making me want to continue. I heard a ring coming from the desk, so I let go of his ribs and went over to the desk. Picking up the phone it displayed a unknown number so I answered. I used magic to disguise my voice to match his. "Hello?" I heard a relieved sigh on the other side "The arrangement is still in order, Laxon Lake at 8 in district F " I heard a click at the end telling me they hung up. I growled and went to him.

I cut him deep in his chest and stuck my fingers in it, swirling it around. "Agh!! You bitch!" He screamed. "What's this arrangement in district F?" I growled and got close to his face. "I'm not telling you shit." Disliking his answer I dug my finger further into the wound. He hissed in agony "WHAT IS IT!!" I yelled, and curved my finger, he panted and screamed. "I'm..not ...telling you bitch" he spat blood at me then I saw the colour dim out of his eyes.

I hissed and took my finger out of the cut wiping it on his shirt. "Dumbass." I sighed and walked out the office taking the phone.

TJ's POV

Driving on a busy highway towards my work is totally worth the 1 hour drive.

Not.

Such ignorant people driving and not giving a care in the world. There's people just sitting there texting or driving hella slow in the fast lane. I don't need this, especially not after the kidnapping of Adriana. What I need to do is hurry up and get to work, so I can find the son of a bitch who took her from me.

Finally, making it to work. I park in a empty space in the buildings  garage and rush inside as fast as possible. "Bring me Reid!" I yelled as soon as I walked in the departments meeting room for us elite agents. I heard ruckus coming from the systems closet room, murmuring low to myself I was over and swing the door open. "Oh you've got to be kidding me" I groaned and snatched Reid from some other agent.

I growled lowly and she skittered off, frightened. "Really. You know I'm trying to find my mate, your queen. Yet you disappoint me by making out instead with some other human. AGAIN!" I yelled out in complete frustration, gripping his collar. "Oh pleaseeee, you act like you've never made out before... Your Majesty" He chuckled out, emphasizing majesty. I sighed because I know if we start arguing it's not going to end.

Me and Reid are best friends, known each other since grade school, that tells you something. I wont get mad at him for talking back to me or being over dramatic of my title. Its not worth it. We have each others backs no matter what the cost was and we knew the risks of our actions. Especially in the 8th grade when we did a prank on the entire school staff. Hilarious, but we loved the thrill our friendship brought us.

I glared at him, giving my infamous glare towards him. His face paled and he brought his hands up in surrender "Okay okay, sorry. Can you let me down now ?" I didn't notice I was holding him in the air, by his collar. I dropped him and he landed on his ass with a loud thud. I slightly chuckled and walk out of the room. "I want to see the footage from the night Adriana was kidnapped, pull it up." I told the person that was sitting at the desk in the room. He nods and starts typing away on the keyboard, next thing you know he's pulling up the files of videos from that night. "Play it, slowly" I said, pulling a chair close and sitting.

I examined the footage over and over, moving on from one to another. All their faces were hidden by Japanese styled masks. "Get me someone that can research these masks and where they can be bought, fast" He nodded and left the room. "I want a squad to go to district F and look at all three warehouses, I want them to leave in an half an hour." Someone else that was in the room scurried off. While he was gone, I played another video that I haven't viewed yet. It was Adriana, fighting off the guys in the masks. Eventually they pinned her down and stuck her with something. That's when I saw it.

A tattoo on a guys wrist, using my ability of speed, I quickly went to the desk and slowed the video to a pause. I knew that tattoo too well. It was a lion mixed with a tiger, with cursive letters behind them. It was from a drawing me, all my siblings and my cousins created when we were little. It was meant for family sticks together no matter what type of thing. Why would this person have it tattooed ? He doesn't look like anyone from my family, but I didn't know most family members on my dad's side or much of my half- siblings.

How does this connect to my family? Its like I'm putting pieces together or
