Zavannah turned her head and she happened to saw her mother wearing a suit holding two guns and then at her back is a foldable bow with arrows. When there are no bullets left in her gun, she threw it away and took out her bows and arrows. Zavannah is amazed by seeing her mother in action. She never saw her mother in actual action, and she loved watching action movies with guns and martial arts.

"Mommy is a superstar!" She suddenly said and Alanis realized it too late that Zavannah is watching her mother.

​​

Moira pulled her bow and arrow and pointed it and release it. Then, the man exploded. Alanis covered her eyes.

"You can't watch that." He told her.

"But I already watch such things." She pouted him.

"Nope." Alanis shook his head. He checked the cameras of the car and just behind them, Andel is having fun by using his armored car with guns. There is a helicopter just on top of them and it's his men. A knock on the door makes them stop and the driver unlocked it as Moira entered and she panted.

"Mommy!" Moira locked the door and she put away her bow and arrow.

"Hey!" Zavannah crawl to her mother's lap and hugged her tightly. Moira kissed her forehead and she looked at Alanis.

"Tsk." He shook his head. She only grinned at him. She knew that he hates such things. But she's a mommy to the rescue.

Ellen was escorted by Andromeda to her husband's armored car and he disabled the machine guns and then the armor cover for the car. She opened the car from the backseat and Elizabeth squeal. Andel gently pull up Lizzi and gave her to Ellen.

"Daddy is playing guns!" She told. Ellen removed the helmet from her head and give her lots of kisses.

"I saw it," Ellen told. She sighed relieved when she finally held Lizzi.

"You came to rescue me, mommy?" She asked. Ellen nodded and hugged her tightly.

Andel called Carter and soon he answered and that he's already with Freya. Carter is just ten years old and unlike Casey who wanted to be accelerated from grade school.

Once that everything is clear, Andel continued driving to pick up the twins. And soon, they reached the Empire Academy and the twins are waiting. Ellen came out with Elizabeth.

"Sister!" Lizzi squealed. Aria hugged Lizzi and then Lizzi hugged her big brother. Andel took their bags and put it at the trunk.

"What happened?" Asher asked.

"Ambush," Andel told and they entered the car.

Zendaya texted Timothy not to pick her up. There's an ambush on the way here. She just wanted to make sure that she won't put him in peril. Her mother arrived riding a motorbike. Some students already left the academy using the bus and some have been picked up by their driver.

Her triplet's siblings are also waiting for their driver.

"What's that?" Zendaya asked Cyra as she peeked on her tablet.

"Nanorobotics." She winked.

"Oh," Zendaya smirked. "What are you going to do with that?"

"Our agents kept dying from missions." She mumbled and looked around. "It's still our secret."

"Okay." She nodded.

Soon, a car came up and Christian arrived with Timothy. Well, she just texted Timothy not to come but here he is and there's an upcoming car. The driver is Noah as he came out. Bea didn't notice him when Fin arrived and opened the car for her and her siblings.

Maybe it's good that she won't see him for a while. As she observed, Bea looked too much in pain. Yeah, she can't stop her from seeing those visions that kept killing her mate.

"Hey," Timothy greeted them. Luke and Logan greet him using their secret handshake and Tim kissed Cyra's cheeks as a greeting and he faced her. She crossed her arms in front of him. "I can't help but come here just to make sure that you are fine."

"I said that I am fine, and you don't have to pick me up. Mom is also here."

Andromeda came up to them and she pointed the car. She's busy murmuring on her phone and Zendaya told the triplets to enter the sedan and she turned to Timothy.

"We are staying in the house for a while," Andromeda said and take the driver's seat. "Zendy, front seat."

Zendaya walked around to the front seat and she hopped in and put her seat belt on. Timothy is at the back seat together with the triplets.

"Ready the gun just in case." She told.

Zendaya checked the gun at the compartment and checked the bullets.

"Tim, we are going to pass by the penthouse, pick your clothes because we will be staying in our house for a while. We still need to check a few houses if they implanted something." She said as their bodyguards are in the armored car to escort them to the houses.

"Yes, ma'am."

Zendaya checked each car and on each road that they passed by had security from their Empire. Then, two choppers are tailing them.

They stopped at Timothy's penthouse. Zendaya followed Timothy with three bodyguards tailing them. Timothy went to his penthouse and packed up a few clothes and he will surely leave a few clothes to Zendaya's room back in their house just in case.

Zendaya is checking each camera and movement and once that it's clear, she gave access to her mother.

Once that Ellen came home, she immediately hugged Carter and kissed his head.

"Good, you are safe," Ellen mumbled. "Next time, if you are in danger you just click your wristwatch for the alert."

"I am fine, mom. You don't have to worry." Carter said just to make sure.

"Okay, I will prepare for dinner." She said.

"It's already late. I bought to take outs from your restaurant." Carter told.

"I'll re-heat it then." She said.

"Aria, please take your sister upstairs so she could change her clothes," Andel told. He went directly to the kitchen and wash his hands as his wife is busy putting the take-outs to the oven. "Baby," He called. But she didn't answer. He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheeks.

She relaxes and she turned to him and hugged him tightly. Andel kissed her forehead.

"It scared me. Really scared me."

"I am always ready just to protect our family. Didn't you see what I and Zach made to our family car?" He grinned at her.

"How many bullets are there?"

"One-thousand bullets and could load more." He grinned at her. "You looked so sexy when you are helping on killing the guy, hitting fatal locations."

"I am useless at that moment because they have covers for those fatal locations of their body."

"It's fine. Still, you look so sexy. Grrr." He kissed her lips.

Aria removed the pins from Elizabeth's hair as she told her what happened from the start of their shopping appointment with Zavannah and Alanis. Aria just listened to her and couldn't help but to snickered on how talkative she was. She told her how they got ambushed and how their daddy play with the car like it was a video game.

"I think I don't want to go shopping anymore." She told her.

"Why?"

"Well, mommy is so worried." She told her as her lips pouted.

"We can go shopping during weekends." She told her. "I will be there, and mommy will be there."

"No. It was supposed to be just me, Zavannah and our daddies."

Aria took the wipes and gently wiped her face.

"Can't we be there?"

"Nope. It's a daughter-father date. Daddy would buy anything for me and Mommy wouldn't like spending so much because I still have those things and she said that she needed to give it to the orphanage for those girls who needed it since I don't need any of it anymore." She said with a pout. "But mommy is right, though."

Aria smiled at her tightly.

"Well, mommy doesn't want us to spend lots of money because there are lots of children starving out there. It would be better if we bought it with food for them."

Lizzi pouted and nodded at her.

"Well, maybe we should just have a shopping appointment every month." She said as she slumped her shoulders.

"It's good. But with random dates." She told. "It's not good that you guys will shop on the same date every month because those people who wanted to kidnap us will have a pattern of our schedule."

Aria brushed her hair and tie it into a ponytail.

"Let's wash our hands." She told and Lizzi followed her to her bathroom and she stepped on the little staircase that her father made so she could reach her sink. She washed her hands as she followed her big sister.

Soon, they went downstairs, and dinner is ready. The boys are already set on their chairs and Aria helped Lizzi to her seat and adjust it so she could reach the table.

"Let's pray," Ellen said as they hold hands to pray.
