20 | Ryland

I pace along the room, my shoes no doubt wearing a hole in the carpet as worry plagues my mind.

Windsor looks at me, a flash of concern marring her delicate features, chewing her lip before walking quickly over to Paisley.

I ignore their conversation as my mind focuses on my brother.

Windsor quickly walks back, nodding her head at the door.

"Let's go"

"What?"

"Let's go" she grabs my hand "You want Reid out their alone? Lets go"

I squeeze her hand in my grip, my thumb running over her knuckles, pulling her through the door as I rush to my car, heart rushing with adrenaline and pounding harshly in my chest.

And I don't know if it's because I'm holding the girl I loves' hand, or because I'm concerned for my brother.

"He would take the backroads" I mutter as I get in the car, quickly speeding off before I've even buckled my seatbelt, the tires squealing against the asphalt

• • •

My heart climbs it's way up my throat as I see the smoke pluming in the air, pressing harder on the accelerater.

"We don't know if it's him" Windsor mutters beside me, her hands flexing as she leans forward in her seat to try to get a better look.

"It's him, I know it's him"

The crash come into sight, my heart galloping to a stop as I see the other car stopped a little ways away from Reids' car.

I quickly look around, catching the unmistakebale figures of my brother and Danny hiding behind his wrecked car, Reid shooting at the incoming men.

Windsor moves beside me, her hand quickly opening the glove compartment and checking the magazine before locking it back into place.

"Ready?"

"For what?"

"Break One Eighty"

We approach the cars quickly.

"Windsor-"

"We've practised thousands of times" she looks at me, her eyes wide with fear and excitement. "We can do it"

I don't bother to fight her as I speed up, hoping Reid is fast enough to run to our car with Danny in tow.

I honk the horn incessantly to get Reids' attention and catch Dannys', flicking my wrist out the window to tell them to get out of the way.

Reid looks back, eyes wide as he grabs Danny and dives out of the way, the three men who were firing at them stopping for a moment as they watch our car approach in confusion.

"Three"

Windsor holds the gun steady.

"Two"

Her other hands rests on the door handle, prepared as we approach closer to them.

"One" She yells, her door opening as I slam on the breaks and she leans out of her open door.

I twist the wheel harshly as she uses her seatbelt to stabilise herself as she leans parallel to the ground, her gun popping as she releases bullet after bullet into the men before the car makes a full one eighty and faces back the way we came.

"Get in" She screams before slamming her door shut at the same time the back door opens.

I look back and see both Danny and Reid unharmed before I race off back to the safehouse.

"Are you okay?" I question, my gaze locked on Reids but focusing the question to both of them.

Reid nods "Yes, thanks" He grins at me in the rearview mirror before looking at Windsor, "You finally got the trick down" He shakes his head with mirth "nice"

I roll my eyes as Windsor giggles giddily.

"So" Danny breaks the silence "are you all secret agents?"

"Reid!" I swear, glaring back at him.

"What?" He shrugs, "he would've found out eventually"

I roll my eyes. "That's not the point."

"So you aren't Secret Agents?" Danny questions with a raised brow.

I ignore the question as Reid nods his head and Windsor laughs not-so-silently beside me. I narrow my eyes and place the palm of my hand on her knee, squeezing slightly.

She stops her laughter, looking towards me with wide eyes.

I grin, my thumb brushing the inside of her thigh as her leg tenses under my palm.

"Can you guys not?" Reid question from the back, tone stained with disgust.

I look in the rear view mirror, smirking at him as I leave my hand on her knee and move it up to her thigh.

Windsor cracks, laughter spilling from her lips as she takes my hand in hers and entwines our fingers.

"The answer to you question is yes, we are all secret agents." Windsor turns back to glance at Danny with a grin.

"Windsor!" I admonish, squeezing her hand.

"What?" She looks back at me with a faux innocent face. "Reid's right, he would've figured it out eventually."

"Can I get that quote framed?" Reid asks Windsor, "In gold preferably. Real gold."

"Shut up."

"You shut up." Reid spits back at me jokingly, settling back in the seat with Danny at his side.

"Oh my god, I can't believe I have you as a brother." I mumble quietly.

"Same." Reid lifts his chin proudly, "I can't believe I got stuck with you, I mean you'd think they'd put perfection with perfection but instead they put me with dog shit."

Windsor giggles and I snap my eyes over yo her.

She stops. "What?"

"I thought you were on my side?"

"I don't remember that conversation."

"Oh right, you were to busy suc-"

"Ry!" She screams, cheeks reddening.

Reid laughs from the back, turning to Danny.

"They are always like this. It's all that sexual tension you see."

"Shut up." Windsor whines this time, hiding her face. "I'll stick my dad on you."

"Liam loves me."

"We'll see about that." She mutters and I smile graces my face as I look over at her.

"C'mon we've got to get back to the others."
