Ryker and Clint talked and laughed while walking over to the elevators, they were ecstatic that everything went well. While they waited for the doors to open Ryker gave Clint a hug "Thank you for everything, if it wasn't for you, I would not have been able to do this."

 "You're welcome, I owed you a favor anyways, and I'm glad it all worked out." Clint smiled as he hugged him back, happy that it went smoothly for them, a lot smoother than he had expected it to be.

"I owe you big time now, this was more than just a favor." Ryker chuckled as the doors opened.

"Well with everything that you have done for me throughout the years, this is my payback to you, and the best part is that none of my guys got killed." Clint said with a smile as they walked inside the elevator.

"Thank God for that." Ryker said pushing the button to the floor that they were on.

Clint followed Ryker as they got off the elevator, he was curious as to who Ryker wanted him to meet. Ryker slowly opened the door peeking in, making sure Talia wasn't half naked again. "Come in." He said to Clint when he saw that it was OK to enter.

Talia was laying out on the balcony in her bikini getting some sun. Ryker walked over to her smiling, seeing her laying there showing off her beautiful body in the hot pink bikini was making him want to rip it off and make passionate love to her right then and there but couldn't as Clint was standing there watching them, she felt the sun go away when Ryker leaned his head over her. She opened her eyes and smiled "Ryker!" She jumped up giving him a hug, kissing him all over, excited to see that he was there. "You're alive!" She cried in excitement.

"I promised you that I would be back, and here I am." Ryker gave her a long passionate kiss happy to have her in his arms while Clint looked on. Clint stood there wondering who he was seeing now and smiled, he seemed happy and was happy for him. From what he saw she looked beautiful, she was tall and long legged, she had beautiful long dark hair and had nicely tanned skin. He figured Ryker hit the jackpot this time.

"Are you checking my fiancé out?" Ryker asked with a smile as he pulled away from Talia still looking at the girl that he loved very much, he could feel eyes on them and knew that Clint had been standing there checking her out.

"Yea.. so, what's it to you?" Clint laughed, he then realized what Ryker said "Wait.. fiancé?"

Ryker held her hand walking her back inside the room, wanting to introduce her to Clint. "Clint.. this is Talia my fiancé, Talia this is Clint Schmidt the one that I told you about when we were at the US embassy." He hated lying about telling him that she was his fiancé, but he was determined to marry her anyways and kept it at that.

"Hi, very nice to meet you." She smiled as she shook his hand, she then looked around the room and got quiet. She was hoping to see her sister sitting on the bed. "I take that it didn't go so well?" She asked.

Ryker smiled and held her tightly against him if she only knew he thought to himself. "Everything went very well, Christopher is in custody as we speak, we have Victoria but as for Dante and Javier they are still out there, I wasn't expecting them to be there anyways."

"Where's the little girl then?"

"She's in the hospital right now being checked out and evaluated, she seemed to be OK but just have to make sure, she's been away from her mother for months now."

"Oh that's wonderful news!" Talia was happy to hear that she was OK but sad to not hear anything about Salina. Since Ryker didn't say her name she figured that she was dead and didn't bring her up.

Ryker didn't want to get into details with Talia about what had happened earlier "I could use a drink, how about you two?" Clint asked.

"Sounds good to me." Ryker said with a smile. They went down to the hotel bar to have a couple drinks to talk and to relax.

Clint then learned more about Talia and her family and how all this came about. It was getting late, Clint was feeling tired and wore out "Well I should go get some rest, it's been a long day." He says as he stood up "It was very nice to meet you, and I'm glad he found a girl like you." He gave her a hug and left the two alone.

"I'm pretty tired myself, we also have a big day tomorrow." Ryker said as he finished his drink. "Besides that, I just want to hold you, hold you in my arms all night and never let you go."

*******

Talia had just finished packing when Ryker picked her up twirling her around. She started to smile "You're going to get me sick." She giggled as he spun her around "What was that for?" She asked when he finally put her down.

He couldn't help but smile, he was excited to see her reaction when she gets on the plane, to see her parents and sister sitting there looking at her. "I'm just happy, a couple days ago I wasn't sure what was going to happen when we had gone into Christopher's home. I made a promise to you and came back to you, you were also kept safe here while I was out doing what I had to do and nothing bad happened to you, I just couldn't be more happy right now."

Talia gave him a hug "As much as I was hoping for another outcome I'm glad it went well for you and that you did come back to me, and just so you know I'm loving you more for that."

"I told you before that I have a job to do and that was to protect you, keep you safe and to make sure that you're well taken care of, and that is exactly what I am doing. I'm going to continue to do that while making sure that you're happy and satisfied, and I hope that I'm doing a good job in that department." He grinned with a wink.

What she didn't know was that not only did he mean that sexually he also meant to make her happy in another area, and that was reuniting her with her family, the parents she was told were murdered and the sister that she feared was dead.

They grabbed their belongings and headed to the vehicle that was waiting for them. Clint and his men were with Christopher flying him back to Texas and to put him in a special cell where there was no way that he could get out. Christopher's wife and child remained in protective custody until everything came out. They feared for their safety as well being that Christopher's men were still out there.

Earlier that morning while Talia was still sleeping Ryker went to visit Talia's parents and sister, he had explained to them that Talia had no clue that they were found alive and wanted to surprise her when he got her on the plane. He also explained to them that they were going to be in a safety house for a while until Dante and Javier were found and arrested.

Five hours after Ryker and Talia left the hotel they had arrived at the airport and was driven over to their private plane.

Talia sighed as she got out of the car she was bumming that Ryker didn't find her sister "What's the matter?" Ryker asked her as he helped her out of the car, knowing well what was bugging her.

She shrugged her shoulders and grabbed her suitcase "It's nothing, I just want to get home."

He stopped her when she started walking away "Hey.. let me carry that for you." He wasn't sure how much longer that he could keep it from her, but knew that she was a minute away from reuniting with her family.

"Come on my love, let's get on that plane." He took her suitcase and walked up the steps, she stopped turning her head, wanting one more view of Mexico before they left. "Goodbye Salina, mom, dad." She whispered, still standing there, closing her eyes and breathing in deeply.

Ryker figured he would let her be for a moment and made it inside the plane, he put their luggage away quickly before Talia realized who was all on the plane. He stood there waiting for her to come inside, she finally made it onto the plane and sat down right away "Talia?" She heard a voice say and turned around looking to see where it came from. "Ryker did you hear that, or am I going nuts?"

"Hear what?" He asked trying to hold back his smile.

"I heard a voice, and it sounded like my mothers." She looked around again and didn't see anything "I'm loosing it!" She said putting her head on her hands.

Ryker walked over to her taking her hand "Come with me, I have something to show you."

He walked her a couple seats back and stopped. Talia stood there shaking her head in shock she closed her eyes tight and opened them thinking she was hallucinating, she stared at who was looking at them and then looked at Ryker "Pinch me now, pinch me as hard as you can and wake me up from this terrible dream."

"Talia, you're not dreaming." Amelia said softly trying to smile as she touched Talia's hand. She was still pretty weak, but tried to stand up to give her a hug.

"Mom?" She screamed out in excitement while her mom gave her a hug. Talia was about to hug her tight until she felt how frail her mom was, she felt nothing but bones, no meat at all on her body. "My God mom." She says tearing up, she looked over at her dad and smiled "Dad...." she said with a relief of happiness wanting to hug him as well but he looked just as frail, she leaned down giving him a kiss on his cheek "I'm so sorry." She said quietly to him, afraid her kiss hurt him.

"When we get home I'm making you both a ton of cheeseburgers and you're both going to eat until you gain your weight back." Talia giggled wiping away the tears. She then gasped "If you two are here, does that mean Salina is here as well?"

The bathroom door opened and out came Salina "Talia!!" Salina called out, sprinting over to her, they hugged and jumped while holding each other until they heard the pilot speak letting them know that the plane was getting ready to leave.

Victoria sat in her seat quietly looking at everyone strange, she had no clue who anybody was, except for Salina. She was scared not knowing what was going on, or if she was going back home to her mom. She started to cry a little, Salina noticed her crying and sat down next to her wrapping an arm around her, letting her know that everything will be OK.

Talia and Ryker sat in a seat where Talia could still see her parents, she laid her head on his shoulder and held onto his hand "I can't believe you found them alive and then to hide this from me?" She smiled, she was in awe and didn't know how to react.

"Do you know how hard it was to keep this from you? It was very hard.. I wanted to tell you so bad, but knew that I had to wait."

"You didn't have to."

"No, but I did, and it was the best smile to see come out of your face. It was priceless." He gave her a long kiss on the top of her forehead and turned to give her a hug. "I'm doing what I promised to do, and even though this isn't my normal job, I wouldn't want to have it as my actual job. I can say that for sure.... because it sucked." He smiled.

"Well your boss will be happy."

Ryker sat back in his chair and started to think "Yea he will won't he?"

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter!!!❤❤❤❤❤

This is far from over, they still have to get Dante and Javier and find out who exactly is the leader in all of this. Could it be Christopher or is it someone else? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
