Come on Nunu, I know your there. Just open your eyes. Please.
This is all my fault, I knew it was a bad idea to go after Zain without back up. I should have stalled her until someone can talk her down.
By the time I got out of the hand cuffs Nunu put on me, she was on the brink of dying. A bullet to the head can kill anyone but not Nunu.
Somehow she survived, the doctors said it had something to do with the distance of where the bullet was shot at.
Meaning the person who shot her was far away and that the bullet didn't really penetrate her skull all the way.
It did damage a little piece of her skull but that was no problem for the doctors. They gave her a steel plate on the front of her head.
My heart still breaks everyday when I walk into her hospital room. I always expect her to be awake but she hasn't even showed signs of waking up soon.
She's been in a coma for 5 months now. I wanted to find Zain before she woke up, but it's like he doesn't even exist anymore.
There's no trace of him or Enzo. The FBI, CIA, and even our foreign allies have been helping us look for them.
Still we can't find them.

My phone lit up with Tyrone's name on the screen. "Hello?" I answered.
On the other side of the phone I heard on-going traffic, so he was on the road. "Ok, so I think Daniel got something. Meet me at Mo's." He said.
I let out a sigh knowing this new lead will just take us to another dead end. "Ok, see you soon." I said before hanging up.
My eyes turned to the still body in front of me, "How do you do it? Your the best at literally everything and yet I can't do the simplest thing." I whispered.
Before leaving I planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Goodbye for now, big sister."

I arrived at Momo's house in 10 minutes, once I got to the door, I didn't even get a chance to knock since it was swung opened.
Daniel was on the other side with a big smile, he pulled my hand, "Come on, I know for sure this'll take us straight to Zain." He said happily.
I rolled my eyes as let him pull me to the living room where everyone was gathered. He stopped and pointed to what was on the table.
A closed black laptop sat on the table with a red light blinking on top of it. My face scrunched up in confusion, "What's this?"
Nik smiled before picking the laptop up and opening it. There was a video on pause, he played it and there on full display was Zain.
He sat at the furthest most darkest corner of the room. He hugged his knees close to his chest as he was visibly shivering. Small whimpers were heard hear and there.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked beginning to panic.
"I'm not sure what happened but this is a video from the surveillance cameras at what's now Enzo's old house." Nik answered.
I sent them a worried look, "We need to find him now. He's scared to the bones." I cried out.
Tyrone patted my shoulder and sent me a worried look of his own. "We'll find him, trust me." He said as he gave me a hug.
"W-what if we're too late?" I heard Unique say. She had tear streaks going down her face, "What if Zain's dead?" She asked again.
Momo hugged Unique, "Stay positive, Zain is still alive."
"If Enzo is actually Zain's father, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't try to kill his only son." Daniel butted in.
Tyrone shook his head no, "Enzo is his father, Zain is literally his mini self." He said.
"I still think we should just go ask the other mafias for help." Jaja said.
Travis rolled his eyes, "Does it look like they want to help us? If they did, they would have helped already."
Nik laughed, "Nunu helped lots of mafias kill their enemies. They do want to help, but i guess something is keeping them from doing so."
I looked at him, "What do you mean? Shouldn't they put whatever they have going on aside and make finding Zain a priority?" I asked
They should repay Nunu back by helping us find her kid. All the years Nunu put in being an assassin for these damn fools and they act like they can't help us.
Nik frowned, "Hmm, that does kinda sound suspicious. Not a single mafia tried to help, it makes me wonder what they're doing."
"They're obviously on vacation." Unique joked.
"Or maybe they're dead." Travis said shrugging his shoulders.
"Orrr they're hiding." Daniel said
I rolled my eyes, "Ok screw all of the damn mafias, right now we only have one to care about and that's the Italians." I said shutting their game of wild suggestions down.
"So how does a video help us find Zain?" Tyrone asked.
Nik started typing on the laptop, "We can trace it back to the server and if Enzo is still using the same server we'll be able to find him."
Oh ok so we're going on a game of chase the goose, great just another dead end.
I turned around and started walking towards the front door. "I'm going back to the hospital, call me when you all actually have a real lead."
Daniel grabbed my hand, "Wait, we all were thinking of going to see Nunu. We'll go with you." He said and looked back at everyone else.
It was obvious they didn't plan to go, but they all nodded their heads, agreeing with Daniel.
I rolled my eyes, "Well then hurry up, I don't have all day." I sassed before leaving to my car.
We all arrived to the hospital only to see all the doctors and nurses running down the hallways. I rushed to the receptionist, "What's going on?!" I yelled
The receptionist look terrified and just pointed down the hallway, "Patient 0124 woke up out of her coma but she's going-"
Before she can even finish I heard someone I very much knew yell. "I will kill every last one of you!!!!"
Nunu is awake!
I ran down to her room and saw policemen and doctors holding her down. It took nearly 10 people to hold her and yet she still kept getting free.
"Nunu!" I yelled as I sprang into action to help keep her down.
She looked at me before punching a doctor and and kneeing a policemen. She fought her way out of everyone's grip.
I back off and stood at the door in awe at the fact that she has so much energy for someone who should be in bed.
I've never seen her this mad, it new and scary. If I can't calm her down, I don't think no one will ever calm her down.
Left and right people fell until it was just her standing up. "You-" She started before looking down at her feet.
A nurse pierced a needle in her leg and injected a clear liquid into her system. Nunu's eyes rolled back before she dropped unconscious onto the floor.
The nurse stood up, making sure to have something to support her weight. "She should be out for at least 30 minutes." She said before dragging herself out of the room.

We all stood around Nunu's sleeping body. The doctors checked her vitals while she was out, she's perfectly healthy.
Now all we have to do is wait for her to wake up, which-
Her eyes opened and shut. She's awake. I chewed the inside of my cheeks afraid that she'll go crazy again.
Immediately her body jolt up, then she took in her surroundings. Looking up, down, and side to side, she saw everything she needed to see in order to tell where she was.
She looked at her wrists, not giving anyone her attention. "Where's Zain?" She asked low and gruff.
We all looked at each other, afraid that what we will say will trigger her. She looked up, "Where is he?!!!" She yelled this time, making us all jump.
Tyrone visibly gulped before answering her, "We haven't found him yet, but-"
"How long have i been in this hospital?" She asked, cutting him off.
And once again we looked at one another, "Do not make me repeat myself." She said shooting evil daggers at everyone.
I took in a deep breathe and answered her, "5 months." I said lowly, hoping she didn't hear me.
But she sure did, since her head snapped up at me. Her eyes and nose twitched, then she closed her eyes and took in a deep breathe of herself.
"Get. Out. Of. My. Way." She said clear enough for everyone to hear.
What do I do?
