So here's another chapter!
Enjoy!

"Well, looks like you just walked into the lion's den"

Jay's voice wafts through the living room. I take a fighting stance before saying ;

"The perfect place to be for a lion cub then"

All of a sudden, Jay jumps out from the curtain and I give him a defensive kick in the guts.

"Ow! Why did you do that?", he says totally unfazed by my kick.

"Why did you scare me like that?", I ask in defense still standing In a fighting stance.

"Relax, I was just kidding", he says while laughing.

I kick him in the arm again.

"That's for scaring the shit out of me", I say dropping my hands but still very cautious.

"By the way where is Anita and Dimitri", I say looking around.

"They are upstairs, Anita's been crying worried sick since she saw the news and Dimitri can't seem to calm her down" Jay says pointedly.

"And what have you been doing?", I ask menacingly.

"I've been tracking the GPS device I put on you the other night we were..."

"Right"! I say preventing him from completing the statement.

Oh no! Dennis must have  done the same thing! If anything, he might be here any minute now.

"Don't worry, just follow me and we'll take care of that", he says obviously noting my worried face.

"How did you know what I was thinking?", I ask with a raised eyebrow.

"Just follow me", he orders.

"Just follow me", I say mimicking him.

He just eyes me before speaking into his ear piece...

"Dimitri, you and Anita move to Defense room NOW, we're on our way there and when you get there scout the house 10miles away and see if you see anything not usual"

"You have a defense room in your house?", was the first question that came out of my mouth after he finished his conversation.

"It's not IN my house, it's five feet AWAY from my house", he replies haughtily.

I just drop the conversation there and begin to think about Alan and Jon and New York where we live and the fun we've had together as a family...

Third person Narrative

"You fools! Why didn't you put a GPS on her", Dennis shouts angrily.

"I did", One of the huge giants twins by name Robby says meekly.

The size of this dude is meant to scare the shit outta anybody but Dennis ain't anybody, Dennis is a mafia and if anything the twins are the ones scared to their guts.

"You put a GPS on SK?", Dennis asks slowly in a sly manner using the initials of Silent Killer.

"And I've been worried sick searching for her, morons! GO TRACK IT NOW!".

With the way he's shouting, he might sooner or later end up with a sore throat.

Just then his phone rings... 

This better not be a prank call, thinks Dennis to himself.

"Dennis from Dennis company speaking who is this?", he says in one breath as he fixes his eyes on the GPS tracker.

"Good day Mr Dennis, a lady just left our hotel now and she booked two rooms for Silent Killer and her personal body guard", the hotel manager says.

"SK has a personal body guard?" Dennis thinks to himself.

He collects the name of the hotel and hangs up the phone.

He checks the GPS tracker and true to the words of the hotel manager, the red light on the tracker signifies that SK is still in the vicinity.

Dennis goes straight to the hotel and just as he was about to alight from his SUV, his phone rings again.

This time it's another hotel manager who phones Dennis.

After Dennis hangs up the call, Dennis suspects foul play.

He tells the twins to just track the GPS instead and that they did.

Dennis isn't going to take any chances so he calls one of the thugs and tells them to stay in hotel 1, he calls another one and tells him to stay in hotel 2.

Just then, the phone rings again and the third hotel had the same news, he calls a third thug and asks him to stay in hotel three.

If SK isn't in the car why is the GPS saying otherwise! Dennis thinks to himself.

"Alas! She's might be wearing a disguise, that girl is hot and I'm gonna fuck her so hard in twenty different positions before I kill her", Dennis whispers to himself.

**************************************************

"She had to get herself taken away! She just had to be caught! Stupid Jay couldn't watch over my baby bear! And now she calls to tell me all is well. For all I know Dennis could be on her tail", Alan says ranting and pacing the hallway.

He's so worried sick about his father and Jem that he hasn't had anything to eat all day.

Although Jon's health has drastically improved after hearing that Jem is all good, Alan is still worried.

Jon's coughing has Alan rushing back to the room.
He sits beside his father and hands him a glass of water.

His phone suddenly rings and he leaves the room to answer.

"Alan help! Alan please come help me", Jem's voice wavers over the phone.

"I'm on my way", he says without any preamble.

He moves to his room and packs a few necessary weapons and calls in the hospital. Soon enough, the ambulance arrives and Alan follows his dad to the hospital.
He makes sure that Jon is admitted before leaving.

"Alan, don't let anything happen to my daughter", Jon pleads.

Alan purses his lips in a thin line and gives a curt nod before saying ; "I promise you dad, I'll bring Jem back home safe and sound" and adds lowly for Jon not to hear "even if I die doing so".

He exits the building and boards the immediate available flight to Rome, his home town. He has  always avoided this city ever since his mother was killed and he vowed never to return but with the life of little baby bear, he didn't care anymore.

**************************
JEMIMA'S POINT OF VIEW

On our way to the defense room we were ambushed. I couldn't see anything as everywhere became foggy. I begin searching frantically for Jay but I couldn't find him. I soon hear him call out in the distance but I couldn't answer.

I begin to feel dizzy and weak. My head and ribs begin to throb but before passing out I called out one name 'Alan'.

I wake up to my hand tied above my head, I look to my left and see Anita and Dimitri. They seem pretty unfazed. I look to my right and see Jay. He seemed pretty fazed with his jaw clenching and un clenching.  This must be really tough for him.

An insult even!  The most revered Mafia captured by a mere teenager, Dennis Saunders. Fuck! I'm  beginning to hate him with each passing second.

This is all my... No way! I've never doubted my decisions in the past, why now?.

I feel someone tug at my dress and I look to my left and see Anita trying to wiggle out my phone. I move closer to her and she manages to release it from my back pocket.

"Now what?", she whispers even though we're the only ones in the room. It's then I noticed that I'm the only one whose hand is tied above their head.

The others are being tied to an electric chair. Is Dennis really going to emotionally blackmail me? He's such a mother fucker. I wonder why Jon didn't use a damn protection while fucking his mom.

"Now what! ", Anita whispers hoarsely this time.

"Just hold the phone up to my mouth", I say rather flatly. She does her best as the phone only reaches my hip. I try to bend forward myself and after considering it's close enough, I speak.

"Siria, I need you to call Alan", I whisper loudly.

"Sorry there's no Alan on your contact list", the stupid phone replies.

Doesn't she know that I stored his name with brother bear and I am not ready to let this people know I call Alan brother bear?

From my peripheral vision, I spot Dimitri and Jay exchanging discomforting looks. Time is against us. "Siria please call brother bear", I whisper shyly as Anita looks at me with a hint of amusement in her eyes. I just ignore it and wait for him to pick.

I hear the click of the lock and just then Alan picks the call.

"Alan help! Alan please come help me! ", I whisper in a panicky voice.

"I'm on my way Jem", he says without any questions.

"Siria hang up and become portable", I whisper hurriedly and Anita immediately tucks siria in her pocket. I've got a smart ass brother, I'm sure he'll find me and take me home.

Just then Dennis walks in with the twin giants,  whose name I can't seem to remember, right behind him. Dennis eyes us suspiciously but we look at him so innocently.

"Well ain't I lucky? I not only have the most feared assassin in my possession, but I also have the most revered Mafia, tsk tsk, what will the media do to have your photos? Or what will you SK do to me if I happen to put-----"

"Shut the fuck up asshole! You're all talk. What's the point of a dog barking if it can't bite? Just let my friends go after all it's me you want", I say at the top of my voice.

He looks at me, a bit surprised that I did not beg him or something.

"Now where is the fun in that, I want to know who sent you SK and why? And if you don't comply your friends will pay for it"
Dimitri and Jay grunts simultaneously and Anita and I look at them with a raised eyebrow.

Dennis just smiles as he presses a button and the chairs begin to vibrate shocking them senseless. Poor things, suffering for me. I really don't care about them but I did promise Dimitri that Anita will be my responsibility so I say "stop".

Dennis smirks and his features glistened behind the sun rays. 6ft tall, Light skinned, hair is a curly man bun with high cheekbones that compliments his button nose.

"What the fuck is wrong with all of you?", I yell at the three of them. They look taken aback by my sudden outburst including Dennis and the twin giants.

"What? Don't look surprised, can't you defend yourself?", I yell at them looking at them one after the other.

"If you have short term memory, we are tied to a fucking electric wheel chair", Dimitri snaps

"No need to remind the bitch, she's heartless and doesn't give a shit if you're not.... ",

"Shut your pussy eating mouth up", I scream at Jay as I realized he's about to say Alan's name.

Just what I wanted. I want everyone to be fucking pissed and aggravated, that way we're not only stalling but also confusing Dennis and if I tell them my plan, they may flaunt it. If there's one thing I've learnt throughout my operations, it's trust no one.

"What on mother fucking earth are you ranting about? It's your fault we're in this situation", Anita shouts her eyes changing its hue.

"Anita you're such a complicated ass, you tell me you control emotions but other than do it to salvage your ego, it's been of no use", I say with spiting venom. Just real Jem, just keep it real. I tell myself.

Dimitri growls at me and if he were loose, he'll actually kill me but not if I kill him first.

"It's your fault we're in this situation, if you hadn't lied to me about my cousin, you wouldn't have been blinded by... "

"Yeah right, there's no need for lousy excuses from lousy failures like you the deed has been done and nothing is going to change this cunt's mind from shocking you guys to your death and I don't give a rat's tail about it", I spitefully say.

Damn! I went too far. I look to my right and see Jay shooting daggers at me. I'm sorry Jay but I'm doing this for all of us.

"JE.... "

"Don't you dare say my name", I warn, cutting Jay off but still conscious that Dennis is watching our little banter waiting for us to spill the beans.

"And you Anita.... "

"Don't go about telling me to control their emotions", Anita yells. Good job girl let the temper flare up to it's boiling point.

"Unlike you I reason my decision, I only control one person's emotions at a time and as you can see there are three of them and.... "

"Shut up! All of you! Shut your fucking mouth up!", Dennis says exasperatedly.
"Here I am waiting for you guys to spill any useful information but there you are arguing about your personal issues! Geez! If you aren't going to be useful I might as well end all of your lives"

He says bringing out his short gun, cocking the bullet in place and placing it on my fore head.
All attention is being paid to me so no one noticed the door open.

I smile as I see the love of my life walk in through the door. Alan brings out his gun and I look at Dennis face.

"Don't kill him, I was sent on a mission and I want to accomplish that mission. Aim for the leg", I say to Dennis face. The members of the room looks at me confused and before anyone can register anything, the sound of three gunshots are heard.

One for Dennis's leg, one for  each of the twins heart.

Alan rushes to me and unties me! He hugs me so tight and I hug him back releasing the tears.

I take my dagger from the chair and cut Anita, Dimitri and Jay loose from the chair. And they immediately reunite. The sight of the three of them has me gulping down the tears.

I look at Dennis and he stares at Alan like he's seen a ghost.

"Any last words? ", I ask but not giving him the chance, I stab him in the chest three times with his blood splattering over my clothes.

"Go say your last words to your mother, mission accomplished", I say writing my signature mark on his chest with his own blood"

I stand up and Alan draws me into another hug. Alan please see me as more than your sister, I'm tired of bearing Valerian, I want to be a Ross.

"Never scare me like that again baby bear, I love  you so much", he whispers into my ears.

I just smile sadly and break the hug. I turn to the rest of the clique.

"How are you all doing guys?", I ask nonchalantly.

"Let's go home", Anita says to Dimitri and Jay without sparing me a glance.

"Hey hey hey!! You guys aren't upset with me are you? I only did that to stall Dennis. I never meant anything I said. I was using reverse psychology on him", I say frantically.

"You expect us to believe you? You're a lie Jem!", Jay says disdainfully and his words actually hurt me.

"I swear I was using reverse psychology on Dennis. I thought that if he thinks I don't care about you people, he'll not bother to shock you guys", I say teary eyed.

"Mission Accomplished right? Go home!", Anita irritatingly says.

"My Word Is My Bond!", I yell after their retreating figure and Dimitri and Anita stop in their tracks. Jay only stopped because they did.

"Come on guys, you... "

"She isn't lying!", Dimitri and Anita chorused. Anita rushes to me and hugs me. 

"Oh Jem, I thought you had betrayed us", Anita sobs on my back. I break the hug and hug Dimitri too. I look at Jay and he looks right back. His eyes softens and his lips breaks in a smile.

"My little coconut! ", he says engulfing me in a big hug. I swear I heard Alan hiss sharply behind me or maybe it's just my imagination.

"Let's go home", Jay says hugging Alan for the first time since their encounter today.

"Actually Jem, I'm going back to New York are you coming?", he says more pleadingly than asking.

I hesitate a little too long before saying ;
"NO"
