Song: Who we are by Imagine Dragons

Everyone helped get the room ready for her; everyone would rather see her home just as much as I would. I hope she doesn't mind that I fixed up Zane's room for her. Mainly because it is on the bottom floor and easier access if anything was to happen. Luckily for me I have an amazing family and friends that got the room ready while I stayed at the hospital all night.

I wanted to ride in the ambulance with her on the way here but they would not allow it no matter how much I tried to bribe them. So I arrived a little earlier than them. I walk into the room and I am amazed at how well they done. The new bed is in the middle of the room and all the machines surround it. I hate that she will still need to be on half of these.I had them put open the blinds to get in some sunlight as well even if she won't even notice.

When I hear the doorbell, I run out of the room to let them bring her in. They wheel her bed to the room and I watch as they make the transition to the other bed. Once they have her all set up they leave and no sooner than they do, Rebel runs into the room like he knows it's her. I watch as he stands up next to the bed and sniffs her and starts licking her hand for attention. "Hey there boy...she is ok she is sleeping." I pat him on the back of the head. He looks up and me and gives me this sad look that actually almost broke my heart. It's like he knows something is wrong with her. "She is going to be ok Rebel...she is home with us now."

I also moved into Zane's old room. Every night I dose off to the sound of beeping machines. During the day I have forced myself to go check on all the clubs and get out of the house for my own sanity...or so my therapist says that is what I need to do. Yes I said therapist because I have to deal with this emptiness in my heart and I try to make myself be strong for her but my mom and Meagan noticed me going downhill the first two weeks. I refused to leave her side and I was letting myself go. It took them and the therapist to make me realize that I had to be in good health for when she wakes up.

So needless to say, I wake up in the mornings and force myself to leave her side. I make sure I eat and then workout with Marcus. I take a shower and leave the house. I hired a nurse to sit with her all day when I am gone and of course even then she is not alone because someone is always over at the house...Meagan with Rylan, my mom, Atticus, Ashton, Marcus and not to mention Rebel and Sadie. Hell I had to make a place for Rebel in the room next to her bed. The cool thing is if Rebel senses anything wrong he will start barking to let me know. One night the IV ran out and was beeping and he started barking and then came over to me and tugged until I got up.

Anyway...like I was saying I have to force myself to get up and get out of the house. I have her phone on me in case someone needs to contact her for a job. I haven't told anyone about what is going on and when she does get messages I text Atticus all the information. I'm still not real close to him, not like I was before all of this went down but he is still a part of her life and he continues to do the clean up when needed. He is running the business for now.

I'm checking in one Fire and Ice. It's been a while since I have been in here. Thankfully, I have great management that can make sure everything runs smoothly here. While there my phone goes off. I'm a little shocked to see my dad calling me. "Hey...what's up?"

"We got news today about the Ortega's down in Mexico...I think we need to get down there and stop this shit once and for all."

"I can't leave her."

"Son...they are getting an army together...they are planning on coming here to end us. Look I know you don't want to go but I'm sure you don't want them all here searching her down." I don't say anything as I try to think about what to do. "Look word got out that Mateo and his team all died from the Alder's coming into the Underground and blowing everything to smithereens...they know it was us and they are coming after us. Mekhi...us...me, your mom, your sister...you...hell Scarlett...is that what you want? I am getting my team together we are heading out in a few hours. We are going down there to end this and I need you and your team to help out if we are going to make it out alive."

"Alright...I will have mom and Meagan stay with Scarlett...I will be ready to leave by five." I end the call and head home. I make sure everything is planned out and give my mom and Meagan instructions on what to do for Scarlett.

I enter the room and see her lying there so helplessly. Why in the hell would they want to kill her now...hell look at her it's not like she can defend herself at the moment. I walk over and grab her hand. "Good afternoon babe...I have to leave for a few days but mom and Meagan are here if you need anything. God I love you." I lean down to kiss her and then head out.

My crew flies down to Mexico and meet my dad ad his men at a remote location. He is so prepared in this mission. He gets out the map of the area and then the house. I don't know how he knows all of this information and I don't ask. Looks like he has been working on this for the past week or so, he knows where everything is located...where the guards stand and so forth. "We will surround the location. I need James and Erick on this side...while Jasper and Declan take this side. Mekhi I need you here." He points at the map. "Then I need some of your guys here and here. Now we are doing this at two in the morning everyone will be off guard and most will be sleeping it's the best chance we got. We leave no one alive...no one."

We all nod in agreement. We drive out to the house and park half mile away. We all make our way up to the house. Just by looking at it you can tell that they run a huge cartel down here in Mexico. I'm sure they run the damn city, no telling on who all has to pay them just for leaving in this fucking town.

We all wait for our cue before moving in. Shots are fired in all directions and parts of the house come to life as we see lights being turned on. We make our way in once all the guards outside are dead. The house is amazing and spotless inside...well was spotless now blood is splattered along the walls and holes from out bullets land in the walls. We make our sweep of the house taking out anything that moves.

I notice two dogs off to the side laying close to each other as blood spreads across the floor. I walk along side my dad as we go up the staircase and we take out a few more men. One falls all the way down to the first floor right into a glass table. Shards of glass fly out all around him. We sweep the second floor together. As he opens the one bedroom, I see two little faces staring back at us and I stop for a second but he doesn't give a shit he aims at both of them and end their lives. He glances over at me. "No one is to be left alive...they will grow up and come out for revenge...you know they will."

I think about Scarlett in that moment. Somehow he over looked her that night many years ago. And I know if he had known that she was there he would have killed her too. And he was right...all those years she searched for the man who killed her mom and she was out for revenge...the only thing is it just so happened to be my father.

I snap back into reality when I feel a bullet land in my upper arm. I turn around and shoot the guy right in the fucking head and watch him drop to the floor. I leave that room and head on to the next. An hour later we had swept the whole house all leaving numerous of dead bodies all over the place. There is a bang in the far part of the house and when we make our way there we see Oscar Ortega with a gun. "You kill my family...I will come back and kill yours." He is holding the gun up to my dad's head.

Of course my dad is holding a gun up to his as well. "You stepped over the line this time Oscar. Zane was my friend and you came after him and his family."

"We had a deal...don't you remember. You said you would take care of Zane and you stepped down so I took control of what you couldn't do."He says with a rough harsh voice.

"I said I would help you get more cliental...I never said to take him out." I watch as my father looks back at him in frustration. Wait...they fucking know each other, what the hell.

"But how else was I going to get them...he needed to be out of the picture so I got him out and then his fucking daughter had to kill my son." He pounds a fist against his chest and looks up briefly at the heavens above...like his son is actually in heaven...I don't fucking think so.

My father continues to stick up for her. "He was the one who killed her father...what did you think she was going to do?"

"Not kill my son and then she gets my other son killed. That bitch will pay for killing my two sons...they are all I live for."

My dad holds his hand steady on the trigger.

"Put the gun down Draven."He glares at him...and I see it in his eyes that he will do what he has to do to get rid of my father.

"No...you came after my family. I came here to end this shit once and for all."My father argues back with him.

I hear the gun go off and I wait to watch him fall because my father never misses. When he doesn't I shoot him and he falls to the ground with a hole right between the eyes. My dad turns to look to see who shot Oscar. He sees me and I see it in his eyes...those last moments of life.

Son of a bitch...
