Julia has been a tough cookie but we eventually got her to talk when she was on the verge of death. I left Jayden behind to deal with her.

'Ryan is my only family. The rest were all killed by the Italians.' I remind myself when I remember Julia's taunting eyes. I can literally feel guilt try to claw up my mind and heart but I try everything to suppress it. Why should I even care? After all, my aunt's husband, who was also Julia and Julian's father, betrayed my dad to the Italians just because of his greed for power. The bastard didn't even know that he had just signed his death certificate. Too bad my aunt had to suffer his mistakes too.

That was the only information that we could get from Julia. The address she gave us was useless.

"Did you find anything else?" I ask Cole immediately after he picks up the call. I hear him let out a sigh before he mumbles a negative response just like he did ten minutes ago. I'm getting even more desperate.

"Give me your car keys." I tell Jayden who's talking to someone on the phone. Just as he turns to me, I see the kwys and I walk towards them and pick them up.

"Where are we going?" Jayden asks as he follows me.

"FBI headquarters. They're helping." I state.

"I'll drive." Jayden says as he looks at my tummy and I immediately hand the keys to him. I don't have the strength to argue or the mentality to drive. I had forgotten how fear felt like for slightly more than six years. I had just gotten my son but he was already taken away from me three months later.

"Jada. We're here." Jayden touches my hand. I look up to find his concerned gaze on me. I immediately get out of the car without a word. Jayden follows me and we go through the metal detecting doors but a sound stops us. I look behind confused to see Jayden being stopped. He takes everything out of his pocket before being searched once again. I walk towards them to find a security officer holding Jayden's car key.

"What's going on?" I ask impatiently.

"Just give them the damn key. We'll get it when we leave in a few minutes." I answer when they explain to me that Jayden's key is causing the alert noise. 'They are turning a small issue into something big for no reason.' I think even though it's slightly odd. I start walking towards Mike's office.

"My dear Jada." Mike greets me with a warm smile before looking at Jayden and raising a brow at me. He recognizes him from my last mission with them.

"My son." I simply state and he smiles sadly.

"We're doing everything we can Costa." He replies and I stand suddenly frustrated.

"Sir. You have to see this." Cole barges into the office and stops when he notices us. We all turn to him and look at him curiously while my gaze more of hope for my son.

"The microchip that we never found has been in the car keys the whole time. We checked the cars and everything else but not the car keys." He says my hope suddenly diminishing. They're talking about a stupid microchip when the people who wanted it most are dead?

"Is this about my brother's microchip?" Jayden asks dumbly as Mike looks surprised. Cole nods enthusiastically. The FBI had still been searching for the chip and Cole had been updating me at times even though it was unethical since I wasn't part of them anymore.

Cole places his laptop on Mike's desk as my phone vibrates. I take it out as I let out a breath.

MUMMY,
IT'S RYAN. I HAVE THEIR PHONE CASSY FORGOT. GPS IS ON.

My heart beats with excitement.

"Cole..." I call him and show him my phone making him grin widely as he types somethings on his laptop.
