Kadens pov.

The ache in my chest is making the world stop.

Quin explained everything that happened and I felt at loss for words.

How could they go without telling me?

How could they try to get away with this?

The people who shot my men will definitely pay.

And if anyone dies, their family will pay for it as well.

I watch Stormi storm out of the closet fully dressed.

She stops infront of me with tear stained cheeks.

"Let's go check on everyone then I'm calling Angie and turning myself in. Enough is enough!" She says causing the ache in my chest to worsen.

I take a deep breath as I run my hand through my hair.

"Absolutely not!" I say walking to the bed.

I grab my clothes off the floor and get dressed. I grab my gun and check to make sure it's full of bullets before sticking it in my waist band.

"I'm not going to keep allowing people to get hurt because of me! I'll go and find out what they want then I'll come back!"

I look in her beautiful eyes.

"I can't let you go. I just got you back! I cannot lose you again!"

She walks up to me and cups my face.

"They won't hurt me but they will keep hurting everyone else to get to me. I'll wear a wire, I'll do whatever it takes but I refuse to let them hurt anyone else. They got Romeo, Jullian, Donte and so many more! What if your next? Or your parents? I'm not going to keep standing here and watching everyone around me get hurt or killed!"

She stands on her tippy toes and gives me a quick kiss.

"I love you Kaden. I love you so much. But I'm not going to allow anyone to hurt you." She whispers.

"I love you so much too. And I'm not going to hand you over to the enemy!" The words fall out of my mouth before I can control them.

I grab her hand and we rush down the stairs and into the car.

Quin speeds all the way to the hospital.

Stormi doesn't say anything the whole way. She just sits quietly playing on her phone.

"Babygirl, I'm sorry but I can't do it. Out of all the people I can lose, you're not one of them." I say grabbing her hand.

"I know." She whispers pulling her hand out of mine and scooting closer to the window.....away from me.

I let out a deep breath and ignore it.

She's hurt and upset so I'm not going to push her.

I grab my phone and text Jared to find Angie's address, number, her family and friends addresses and numbers as well.

Of course she would be behind this.

But I honestly never expected it.

I've used her catering service for years and each time we ran a background check and hers always came up clean.

When we reach the hospital, we rush up the elevator to the surgery room.

After talking to the Dr, we find out they are all still in surgery - Romeo being in the worst shape.

Stormi paces back and forth in the waiting room as we wait for any news on all of them.

I get chills sitting in here. It's the same one I was waiting in while I was waiting for news on Stormi.

Where I also found out I lost my child.

Quin grabs us all coffee and food as we still wait.

Hours go by without any news.

Close to seven in the morning, a few doctors finally came in.

Stormi jumps out of my arms and walks towards the doctors.

I get up and stand behind her.

She grabs my hand and squeezes tightly.

"We have good news and bad news. Dr.Reid will tell you the bad news first."

Dr Reid clears his throat before looking between Stormi and I.

"I'm sorry to tell you but Robert William, Jullian Rodriguez, Donte Bennet and Dione Stevenson didn't make it. We couldn't retrieve the bullets. I'm so sorry for your loss."

Stormi falls towards me crying hysterically.

I hold her towards me fighting back my own tears as I look towards Dr.Crawford.

"Damion Timbers, and Stefan Gomez are recovering. You should be able to go see them in a few hours when they wake up."

"What about Romeo Gutierrez?" I ask instantly when I don't hear his name.

"He's still in surgery. We will update you as soon as we find something out."

I nod towards the doctors as I hold tightly onto Stormi.

"This is all my fault!" She says crying into my chest.

I hush her as I run my hand up and down her back.

"Babygirl, no it's not. Please don't argue with me about this. Not right now."

"Yes it is! And you can't tell me otherwise! If it wasn't for me, none of this would of happened!" She says walking to sit in a seat.

I sit beside her and do my best to calm her down.

After a while, it finally helps.

I call the families of the men I lost and told them I'll pay for everything.

I quickly use the bathroom before sitting beside Stormi again.

I chug the rest of my coffee as I fight my eyes to stay open.

If I don't see a Dr in an hour then I'll walk into the surgery room myself to check on Romeo.

I feel my eye lids getting extra heavy. I look towards Quin and see he's fighting for his eyes to stay opened too.

Stormi gives me a hug and a huge kiss on the lips.

"I'm sorry!" She whispers.

"What did you do?" I say when she becomes blurry.

"You wouldn't let me go. I have to save everyone. I love you so much baby!" She says.

I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out.

I open my eyes one last time walking Stormi walk out of the waiting room before my eyes close and I fall asleep.

Two hours later.

I'm woken up by Dr.Crawford shaking me.

My mind is foggy and my neck hurts.

I move my neck and rub my eyes.

"Mr.Hernandez, Mr. Gutierrez is in recovery. We managed to stop the bleeding. He should be awake any minute."

I thank him and look around the room.

Quin is asleep and Stormi is.....

Gone?

Where the fuck did she go?!

God damnit!

I call her phone several times but no luck.

I jump up and look around for Stormi.

After searching several bathrooms, the other waiting rooms, the cafeteria and outside, I go back up to the surgery waiting room and find Dr.Crawford.

"Dr.Crawford!" I yell stopping him in the hall.

He stops and turns to me.

"Have you seen the girl who I was with?"

He nods. "Yes she left a few hours ago. She got in a black van with a really beautiful girl."

"What the fuck!" I scream and punch the concrete wall beside me.

I ignore the pain and blood gushing from my knuckles as I grab my phone and call Jared.

"Stormi left. Track her phone and give me her location immediately!" I scream into the phone.

I wake up Quin and we call everyone I know from all over the world to have them come here to help me with my search for Stormi and to finish this once and for all.

I try calling her a few more times without any luck.

Quin walks up to me and touches my shoulder.

"Everyone will be in within five hours. Jared didn't get a location on Stormi but we did get a location on Angie's cell phone."

"Let's go then!" I say walking out of the waiting room.

"Aren't we going to wait for backup?"

"Absolutely not!" I yell clicking the button on the elevator.

Not this time.

Not again.

I cannot lose Stormi.

I'm not waiting around this time.

I'm coming for you babygirl.
