Start from the beginning
                                        

He looked just like the guy that Xavier had described for the sketch artist I that have.

The guy sits back and narrows his eyes at me then looks me all over or as much as he could that was above the table. "You know your very beautiful for a gang leader," he says in a raspy voice that tells me that he must smoke a lot.

"Not to fond of compliments are we?" He continues when I keep my face emotionless. "Well let's start over my name is Edward or EJ for short and I would like to make a deal with you," I scrunch my eyebrows.

"What type of deal?" Mark asks.

"One that my help your leader here find her sister," he smirks when I show him an emotion and it's one that shows I'm shocked and upset.

"Why should we trust you?" I say narrowing my eyes at him.

"That's up to you if you want to trust me or not," he says crossing his arms on the table.

"What do you want in exchange?" Mark looks at him questionably.

"I want my partner back," he looks dead serious. "We want Ray back."

"Oh hell no, thanks for the offer but we can find her on our own," Mark says standing from his seat and pulls me with him as I just look at the guy the whole time until Mark drags me out the building and into the car. He starts it up then speeds off the parking lot knowing me that if I wanted to take the deal last minute I would have literally jumped out of the moving car so he held my hand for dear life.

"Hope, I really don't think you should do that, because as soon as we let Ray out he is going to want revenge on you and everyone else who participated in his torture which is almost if not all the Gangleaders and members from anywhere and everywhere." Mark says frantically also knowing that I am considering his porposal.

"But we haven't been able to find her for three years, I feel like we are running out of options," I pull my hand away and cross my arms letting out a deep breath.

From the corner of my eye I can tell that he was fighting the urge to either grab my hand again, snap at me, or both. "Look Hope I want to find her just as much as you do but we both know that letting go of the guy who is basically known for his revenge and evil ways should not be apart in how we find her, okay?" I sigh and look out the window as he drive down the road to get to my house.

As soon as he parks outside my house I jump out the car and walk in side to see Taco sitting on the couch with the kids and Tiana. "Hey Hope how have you been," Tiana said jumping up from the couch to give me a hug. When she does I don't let go and just put my head on her shoulder for a second. Tiana doesn't ask but just holds me tighter when Mark finally decided to walk in.

I let her go and walk over to the kids and Taco who had been with Tiana on her mission. She needed a dog that could sniff out some bombs in France, I gave her that mission cause I know how badly she wanted to go to Paris, France.

"Hi mum are you okay," Iris says when I sit on the floor next to them and put my face in her hands. Owen also comes up to me and give me a hug, these amazing children I am so happy I had them, even though I did at such a young age.

"Mummy's okay I just had a long night and I'm tired," I said while rubbing Taco who keeps licking my face.

"Then you should go to bed mum," Iris says and grabs me by the hand and tugs me upstairs with Owen and Taco following along.

When we got to my room I realized that I forgot to get my phone on the couch. I tell the kids to stay right there and I'll be back. I go to the stairs but when I look over the balcony I see Mark holding Tiana by her waist and they were whispering...so I listened.

"Mark you have to tell her," Tiana whispered harshly.

"I will just give me some time," he said.

"I gave you the whole time I was on that damn mission," she crosses her arms. "Hope is my best friend who is almost like a sister to me . So if you don't, I will, she can be understanding but also angry so be gentle with her cause I still love her like a sister and if I have to choose her over you I will," she says then unwrapped herself from Mark and walked out the house leaving Mark with his head hanging low and his head in his hands.
