Adams POV (Twelve)

The side of my face hurt like hell. I'll give it to Lena, she knew how to knock a man out. I knew I was tied up before I even looked. The band was tight enough to turn my skin blue. I’m defiantly going to get her for this.

"Do whatever you can to get her on our side, Adam. She is too important." my boss's words rang out.

The light was switched on and I looked to see a tall lean man. His body showed no sign of unfitness and his green eyes seemingly reading me. That's creepy. Keeping my face blank, I wondered if this is Lena's boyfriend, the slight thought angered me and I didn't know why.

I tried to pull my fingers out in every way I've learned but it seems like these guys were experts.

"You should stop twisting, it will only get tighter." the guy said.

I was about to ask him about Lena when a woman entered. It was evident that she was pregnant by the way she glowed brightly. I noticed a bit of relation with her to Lena. There was something that linked them.

"Hello there Adam. I'm Jessie and this is my husband Sam. Wanna tell me why you broke into our house? I thought the good side did good things?" she said with a sneaky smile.

The confusion began to morph on my face, curiosity at the tip of my tongue, how did she know. I was about to ask but then the sound of a glass shattering was heard. Jessie excused herself and hurriedly left.

"Your first kid?" I asked.

"No second...she's 7 months but she doesn't really show," he answered after a while.

"Cool. Mind untying me?" I tried, it was a long shot but worth a try right?

"Yes I do." he snapped. After muttering a few curses he walked to the door.

Before he could shut the door, a scream echoed throughout the house. I immediately began twisting again. What the hell was that? Sam had left and the screams were getting louder. A kid with green eyes and light brown hair entered the room. His eyes were wide with fear.

"Kid please come untie me, so I can go help," I said desperately trying to get my hands out of the stubborn band...

"Auntie is scwiming." he whispered.

"Let me go help auntie OK? Please untie me." I said.

He nodded then looked around till his eyes rested on something. A teddy bear. Fetching his teddy bear from the corner floor, he walked back towards me with it. What the heck am I going to do with that? He unzipped its head and brought out something from it.

Guess what it was...

A Knife.

My eyes widen at the sight of it, what was a kid doing with a military type of blade? In fact what was with this family and knives.

As he walked closer to me, Sam entered the room. He growled when he saw his son bout to cut the band and carried him away. The man looked at his son with disappointment and as they were about to leave, the screams got louder. Louder and louder within a spilt second.

"Daddy the man can help." his son said. He was about to say something until the screams stopped only to begin again. coming to me, he looked me in my eyes. "Do any shit and I will kill you," he warned before snapping the band apart.

I ran out of the room and saw Lena's room wide open. Windows wide open and I could take the chance to escape but then the screams turned into cries and I turned around. Following the screams. Blood was on the passage before I entered the kitchen.

Jessie was covered in blood, tears streaming down her face. Yet it felt like a car hit me when I saw Lena sobbing and crying. Glass cutting her worse as she threw a tantrum. I went to her and dragged her from Jessie yet she fought.

"Stop it! Your pregnant and you can't afford to get hurt. Now move!" I snapped.

She was about to fight when she looked behind my head. She looked back down at me and nodded. I looked at Lena, her body shivering, her screams and cries echoing throughout the house. Her eyes rolled up.

I held her to my body, forgetting about her blood. Focusing on her.

She slowly relaxed.

"Come back to me" I whispered.

"Please" I began kissing her as my own tears dripped. She wasn't a job anymore at this point, she had become my life. She stopped moving and her eyes slowly flicked open. I kissed her again and cupped her cheeks.

"You not dead," she whispered, taking me in. I couldn't help it, I laughed.

"Yeah but if you leave me. I'd rather be." I whispered. Shocking myself on how true those words felt.

"I'm not alive" she whispered before her body went limp.

"Neither am I" I whispered.

I carried her as I stood. Went straight to her room and placed her on the bed. I went through the window and went down the roof. Straight into my car and straight to the empire. I needed to convince them she wasn't the one they wanted.
