Veronica's POV.....

"Okay we gotta go in!" I said.

"What? Are you crazy?!" Kaitlyn said.

"Well I can't just stay here and...my mom is in there!" I said.

"Yes but it's not safe right now!" Kaitlyn said.

"We know Ronnie. But we were told  to stay here until the team arrives then-" Selena started but I cut her off mid sentence.

"Look guys I already lost my dad, and I can't lose my mother too! So please! It's either you're coming with me or I'm going alone." I said folding my arms as they looked at each other.

"What's with the yelling?" Ivy asked as she, Jackson and Mr Young came towards us.

"I'm going in." I said and their faces looked surprised.

"So are we!" The girls said and I smiled a little while looking at them and they gave me a little nod.

"Absolutely not!" Jackson said.

"Look Ja- Mr Benson... I need to make sure my mother is alright!" I said looking around.

"We were given specific orders by a special force agent... I think we should do as we're told. It's even more safer that way." Ivy said.

"Damn it! Why isn't anyone listening! I have to go in there.... my mother, what if something happens to her!" I said.

"Veronica calm down! Okay we get it! You're-" Ava started but I cut her off.

"No! It seems like you don't!" I said, a bit to harsh.

"Veron-" I then cut off Evelyn from speaking.

"I'm sorry, I'm just really worried and can't think straight right now." I said looking at Ava.

"Its okay, I understand and totally deserved that." She said. Right about ending that sentence another vehicle pulled up. I recognize that car anywhere.

"Jayden!" I said. Both him and his father immediately came out with two other vehicles pulling up and guys in black suits followed behind.

"Veronica!" He called running up to me. We both immediately embrace each other into a tight hug. After pulling apart he quickly greeted everyone else.

"Jayden you-" Before I could finish he started talking.

"Are you okay?! You're hurt?!" He asked looking at me.

"Yeah I'm fine, but what are you doing here?! How do you even know-" I asked immediately.

"I texted him on the way here, we needed all the help we can get and you know he has the resources to help us." Kaitlyn said.

"Good job, Katie bear." Evelyn said which caught me by surprise. I thought only Jayden called her that...

"Uh good thinking but-" I said.

"But nothing. We may or may not have broken up but you'll still forever be my first priority." He said and smiled a little with my eyes watering.

"What now?" Selena asked. I looked over to see all the adults, including Ava and Kaitlyn's fathers, Ivy and Jayden's father talking together.

"I have an idea but it'll require all our heads." I said.

"What?" Kaitlyn asked.

"I know you guys don't like this idea but you know I'm right when I say I need to go back in there." I said.

"Ronnie-" Selena said.

"If you go, we all go!" Ava said.

"No no! I gotta do this. You guys need to stay here and distract them so I can sneak in." I said.

"You can't go in alone!" Selena said.

"I'll go with her." Evelyn suggested.

"Actually-" We were then interrupted with a bunch of helicopters and vehicles pulling up next to us. Men in black suits were seen sliding down the ropes.

"What the hell!" I said.

"Cool." Ava said as we looked at her and shrugged.

"Couldn't you have given the heads up the law and government were involved?!" Jayden's father, Mr Kim said.

"Don't worry, they're the least of your problems right now." Ivy said.

"Circle around and enter!" The agent then said as a bunch of other agents sneakily run into the building.

"I have to go in!" I said, but was held back as I was about to leave.

"We are given orders that you are to remain where you are and stand down." One of the agents said.

"What?! I have to go! My mother is in there with a psychopath!" I said

"Ma'am we have this under control and she will be in safe hands, however, you all are needed here for questioning." He said looking at us under the helmet.

"What?!" We all asked looking at each other confused.

"What do you mean, needed for questioning?" Kaitlyn asked.

"One of you, have been working for the Black Masked killer." He said causing us to gasp looking at each other.

"This is insane!" I said.

"Yeah it is! Black Masked is a one man team and even if, all of us here have fallen into the hands of Black Masked." Ivy said.

"And attacked badly." Selena said.

"Why and how did you even say something like that?" I asked.

"We just got orders." He said.

"That's all we're getting?" Ava asked.

"Its all you need." He said.

"Please... we need more details, my mother is in there.." I said.

"We bugged your mother. There's a microchip in here shirt, everything is recorded without Black Masked knowledge of it." He said.

"Smart." Jayden said.

"So there's really a traitor among us?" I asked looking around.

"Yes. So I suggest you start answering everything we ask, honestly and truthfully." He said as we all looked at each other, fearing of what the results of this might be.

**********
Aria's POV....

"Seems like guess have arrived, yeah?" Brandon said.

"I don't understand, why are you doing this?" I asked.

"I should probably start from the beginning right?" He suggested.

"Brandon please just-" I said but was cut off midway by him.

"Just, you listen to what I have to say. Story time!" He said and I looked at him with all my given attention.

"Tell me what the hell truly happened and how this entire thing came about... tell me the truth about the Johnson's... the truth about the Johnson's Empire." I said and he smirked.
