Noah didn't look too happy, but he stepped away from her, finally give her space to breathe. My hand slowly moved away from my gun that I didn't even realise that I'd reach for.

When she was fully standing, only then did she turned to look at me. In those big blue eyes that I love so much, I saw so much more that everyone else in the room. She didn't say a word, but in her eyes, I saw the question that she was asking me. "Can you get my girls back?"

I answered out loud, "I can."

Everyone turned to look at us. They looked between us, confused about the strange interaction that we were having.

With her eyes, she asked, "You're not going to let me go, are you?"

I laughed, she must be crazy if she thought that I'd walk away and leave her to play happy family with that idiot.

"Never," I said out loud.

She turned to look at Noah and then back at me. The question in her eyes clear as day. "Are you going to kill him?"

I smiled, letting her see my conviction, "What do you think, Red?" I replied.

Her eyes widened and she sucked in a breath. She shook her head as if to tell me I can't.

I laughed again, "Can't I?"

She stepped a little closer to me then stopped and picked up a photo on the side table. She tapped the image of the older girl standing next to our daughter, then briefly glance back at Noah before her eyes fell back on me. She was trying to tell me that the girls in the picture, the one she called her daughter was Noah's daughter as well.

"And how the f**k does that concern me?"

"Killian, please!" She shouted.

I heard the sorrow in her voice and saw the anguish in her eyes. The girl in the picture meant a lot to her and Killing Noah would break the girl's heart. I did not like it. I did not like it one f**king bit, but for the life of me, with her eyes on me, pleading with me, I couldn't bring myself to say no to her.

"Fine," I grunted out.

We stared at each other and an agreement passed between us. I wouldn't kill Noah as long as he doesn't get in my way and she comes with me.

"Deal?" I asked

She nodded her head then said, "Deal."

I smiled, "Good, not let's go get your girls back."

Cara was the first one to break, the silence that everyone else kept whiles Red and I were having our internal conversation.

"What the f**k just happened? Did I miss something?"

I forgot that Cara was standing next to me. Lilly's eyes shifted to Cara. She gave her a once over before deciding that she did not like what she saw. But instead of saying anything, she turned back to me, ignoring Cara.

"Can you find Natasha? Do you have any idea where she might be hiding?"

"I have a pretty good idea where she might be hiding, but I'm not 100 per cent sure for definite. What about you? What information do you have on her?" I asked her.

Her eyes widened but she didn't answer, instead, she turned to Noah who looking at me like he'd very much like to see me dead.

I smiled at him, letting him know that the feeling was f**king mutual

"Noah, can you find out from your contacts if they know anything about Natasha's whereabouts?"

Noah turned his eyes from me to focus on her. His eyes softened when he looked at her.
