Flashback Four: Three years had passed since the last time she saw Amir. The man who called her- his daughter. Who she loved and called a father. Three years and he never came back. She was sent away to some boarding school only because she made one mistake- which wasnât a mistake to her. She did what all young kids did. Well- most of them. She had- had sex with her next-door neighbor Peter Mills. Who she had been crushing on since⌠forever. She may have been thirteen, but she had matured older than what her natural age had been. if that made sense.
One moment there had been a loud explosion at the school she attended, and everything had went black. The next moment...
She had awoke. The first thing she had seen was a bright white light. Which caused her to squint her eyes as she stared up at what had been an all- white ceiling with a fan spinning around and around. âW-WhereâŚâ She spoke softly as she placed a hand to her head only to raise up to where she was now sitting up as she looked around her surroundings. Nothing but white. White everywhere which would make you think that you were in one of those mental institutions back in the day. That is how it looked. And felt- as she shook her head only to clear her throat. âH-Hello? Where am I?â She called out. Unsure whether or not anyone was around or whether or not anyone could hear her, but she had to try. However the last spot⌠direction that she had looked in. she had seen a man. A man in a suit with his arms crossed over his chest with dark hair as this caused Lily to gasp and move back against the bedpost. âEvening, Lily?â He addressed her. âIt is⌠Lily, right?â He asked as he took a couple steps towards her. âWho are you?â She asked first. âWhere am I?â She asked as he continued to walk towards her. âWell your not in the boarding school anymore.â He tells her as he grabbed a chair. "Your not even in the same state even though we are the only ones who know that.â He said as he placed the chair next to the bed. âYour death was officially ruled a suicide. Suicide by an act of terrorism.â He continues to explain. âThere was an explosion at the school, and you were the one behind it. your ashes are stored right here. Well whatever was left of your remains that were and could be identified that is.â He said as he set a folder down and pointed to the building of which consisted of burial vaults as Lily saw this and gave a confused look. âMy name is Michael. I work for the government.â He explained. Though technically he was a double agent. Had been for a few years now. Pretending to work for the bad guys. Jacob to be exact while feeding information to the good guys. Adam Dalton. Sydney Bristow. Etc. right now he was there for Jacob. And he had to play the part of the non- caring asshole. âWeâve decided to give you a second chance.â He said as Lily shook her head. âYour crazy. This is crazy.â She spat back. âMaybe.â He simply spoke as he sat down in the chair in front of her. âYou canât do this.â She retorted. âItâs already done.â He said in return. âIt was easy. There is no one who will miss you. No one who will come look for you. No family known. You donât exist. WellâŚ. Not anymore. At least the old you.â Michael tells her. âWhere is he?â Lily called out. âUh. I am to know who we are talking about I am to assume?â Michael stated. âMy dad. Where is my dad? He was supposed to come for me. he will come for me. I donât care what you say. You canât do this.â Lily spat out. âYour dad. You mean Amir Al- Raisani?â Michael asked as this caused Lily to look with wide eyes. âWhere is he?â She asked. âHeâs not here and heâs not coming. I donât know what he promised you, kid; but he lied. Al-Raisani is very good in the deception department. Very skilled. Probably told you what you wanted to hear so youâd get off his back. This is your new reality. I am the only friend that you have right now. Makes you feel better. You can even call me. daddy.â Michael told her in a smart-ass manner to which Lily glared. âYouâre an asshole.â She growled. âNot like I havenât heard that one before.â He said with an amused- c*cky smirk across his face. Little did he know at this point in time that this young woman. Lily Monroe. Was his sisterâs child. And his niece. Which he would come to find out later on down the road but right now he had no clue as what she heard last caused Lily to shake her head once more. âScrew you.â She spat out as she quickly jumped up- off the bed and to her feet.
As she tried to run for the door Michael had reached over and grabbed her by the arm only to pull her back and over to him where he took that same arm and jerked her arm behind her back where he moved to pin her to where she couldnât go anywhere with his hand tightly around her wrist. Gripping it in a way that were she to stand it would snap her wrist back as he lowered her to the ground. âYou stand up your wrist breaks.â He said with a look that said it all. âI didnât kill anyone.â She was quick to say. âThat is not what the papers will say were the wrong information were to get out to the wrong group of people. Wonder what would happen at your miraculous resurrection. Pretty sure nothing good. Is that a risk you are willing to take?â He tells her only to let her go as he stands up to which Lily goes back over to the bed and sits back down on it as a couple tears fall from her eyes down onto her cheeks. It was a pure scare tactic of course but she didnât know that. And Michael only sighed as he gave her an unreadable look. After all he had a great poker face. âYour life is over, Lily. I am here to offer you a new one, but you have to be willing to earn it.â He said as Lily swallowed hard. âHow?â She asked him. âYouâll see soon enough.â He tells her only to walk over to the door where he opens it only to give her one last look before walking out to which Lily lets out a much-needed breath only to shake her head as she curled her knees up to her chest and wrapped both arms around herself as she buried her face only for Michael to walk over to Jacob Fielding with a sigh. âItâs done.â Had been the only thing that he had told the older man before turning around to walk away. âWhat if she doesnât pass all your little tests?â Michael couldnât help but to ask as for some reason he felt a connection to the younger woman but again didnât know quite yet what it was as Jacob slowly turned around to him with a smile. âYou cannot train her. Teach her to be the best agent that she can be- for us. What happens if she doesnât pass you ask.â Jacob said his words as he walked over to Michael with a wicked grin. âYou eliminate her. Of course.â He said. âThough you have the number one-track record as far as your recruits go. So⌠there wonât be any need to take such drastic measures, I am sure.â Jacob had said only to walk away leaving Michael to stand on his own to which he clenched his jaw at the mere mention of a threat to Lily as he swallowed hard only to look towards the door to the room that Lily was in one last time before he had also walked away.
Flashback Five: Amir had come back home to retrieve Lily. Little did he know what he would come home to find out. it had been what seemed like forever since he last saw her. but had been a little over three years. As it had been a few months after her fourteenth birthday. And Amir had first seen Peter Mills. Lilyâs childhood friend and crush as he smiled to the younger man. âPeter.â He addressed him as Peter looked over to Amir with a look of shock- only for his features to turn to pure sadness. âMr. Al- Raisani.â He said to the older man. âPeter. Please. Itâs Amir.â He told him as Peter gave a nod. âWhere is Lily. I figured with how inseparable the two of you are. You two would be attached to the hip.â Amir stated though again⌠he had no clue as Peter heard this and swallowed hard. âY-You donât know.â The younger man asked. âKnow what?â Amir spat back. âS-Sheâs dead. She died. A couple months ago.â Peter tells him to which Amirâs breath caught in his throat as he felt as though in that moment someone had stabbed him through the heart. âNo. thatâs not right.â Amir said almost in a whisper. âIâm sorry but itâs true. There was an explosion at the school she attended, and everyone died- including Lily. I canât believe you didnât know.â Peter stated as Amir just gave a nod as he let out a shaky breath. âI-It was good to see you again.â had been the only thing that he could say in that moment as he turned around and walked away from the younger man headed straight for the mansion and for the room to where he knew that his father would be. A mixture of every single emotion possible rushing through him.
Once he was inside of the mansion he went straight over to the office where his father worked out of when the older man was home only to push past one of the lackeys his father hired for security as Amir opened the door and slammed it back to where he gave his father the darkest look with a glare to match. âWhat did you do?â He said as his voice broke. âY-YouâŚ. I know this was you. You did this.â He stated as this caused Jacob to smile. âDid what? Son⌠you donât look so well maybe you should sit down.â Jacob said as Amir shook his head. âYou killed her. she was a fourteen-year-old kid. What possible threat was she to you? What could she have done?â Amir spat out with pure venom as this caused Jacob to smile as this caused Amir to look at him in such a way that would make the hardest of criminals get chills as for the first time he could feel âhis fatherâs sonâ which he promised himself he would never let out so to speak- start to rise to the surface. Only for Amir to walk over to the other man and punch him hard in the face breaking his nose. âWhat did she do?â He asked again this time in a more dangerous tone only to pull out a gun and place it to the older manâs face. âThe little whore couldnât keep her legs closed. That is what she did.â Jacob spat back. "Go ahead. Pull the trigger. You know you want to. Be your fatherâs son. Go on- boy⌠do it.â he spat back as Amir kept the gun to his face. When he heard his father call Lily a whore, etc. only persuaded him to pull the trigger back- c*cking it. meaning it was ready to shoot. âWrong answer.â He stated only for him to hear the last words of âbe your fatherâs sonâ which snapped him out of it⌠only to pull the gun away as he took a step back lowering the weapon to his side only to be grabbed by two goons behind him. One of which punched him in the stomach and the other one who snatched the gun from him as he punched Amir in the face. âThat is enough. Leave us.â Jacob told the two men who after some hesitation. And that look from Jacob- both men gave one last look to Amir before the two had left out the door only to shut it behind them- per Jacobâs instructions. âHow about this as an answer for you. I know what you were planning to do. That you were planning to move far away to start a new life. You were going to leave the organization, and no one leaves the organization except for my authorization or through a body bag. You understand me. I didnât kill Lily Monroe. You did.â Jacob tells the younger man as this caused Amir to swallow hard once again as tears fell down onto his cheeks. âI own you. Never forget that. This was a reminder. You can call it. her demise that is. A simple reminder that you so much as think to try and break the rules. This is what happens. Now. That this is all settled. You can get back to work and get back to what is important. This organization.â Jacob tells him as this caused Amir to glare at him once more. âI will take you down. Somehow. Someway. When you least expect it. I will kill you. Not today. Not tomorrow. But one day.â Amir tells the other man in a tone that was honest and blunt. Of which Jacob smiled. âSure you will.â He responded. âYou wonât do sh*t little boy. Now get your ass out of my office.â He tells the younger man only for Amir to give his father one last look before turning around and walking over to the door. âMy mother wasnât enough. Naima wasnât enough. Both- dead⌠by your hands. Now youâve taken the only person who I had left in this world. Who meant everything to me so when I said that I would kill you one day- Believe me. within everything I have within me and on my honor alone- because that is all a man has. I meant what I said. So⌠sleep with both eyes open. You never know when that day of reckoning⌠your judgement⌠will come to pass.â And Amir who said nothing else- walks out of the door where he slowly but surely made his way over to the room that Lily stayed in only to walk into the room where he began to look around at the pictures⌠stuffed animals. Etc. as he could feel his heart completely shattering. And as he made his way over to where the stuffed dragon that she kept on her bed in front of her pillow that he had given to her five days before her eighth birthday. Amir just grabbed the toy as he sat down on the bed. âI am so very sorry, princess. I am so sorry that I failed you.â Amir stated only to hugged the stuffed animal to his chest as he lowered his head and began to cry. Not knowing that sometime in the near future that Lily was in fact alive. Her death had been faked. And the two would come to meet once again. Â
Flashback One: Thirteen-year-old Amir Al- Raisani was with his older sister- Naima. The two⌠shared the same mother but not father. Unfortunately, his father was a man by the name of Jacob Fielding. The sole leader of one of the top criminal organizations in the world. Amir had been at the small stream tossing rocks into it along with his sister when the two heard the cries of an infant. Suddenly out of nowhere it seemed as the young teenaged Amir turned around in an attempt to find the source only to look with great shock when a small babe lay inside a basket with a blanket wrapped around her. âNaima. Look.â Amir almost squealed as he rushed towards the baby despite his sisterâs protests. âAmir. Come back.â She said though quickly followed behind him to where the two stopped in front of the small babe as both the teenagers smiled. âLook at her. Who would do such a thing?â Naima said as she reached down only to grab hold of the baby and place it in her arms as the baby continued to cry. âSSH. Itâs okay. Your okay now. I am Naima and this is my little brother, Amir.â She said as she began to gently rock the infant back and forth. âWhatâs your name little one?â She asked even though she knew that the baby girl wouldnât be able to answer as this caused Amir to grab the blanket from the basket which on the blanket was the name âLily Monroeâ as he looked to Naima. âIs your name LilyâŚ?â He asked only to reach towards his sister. âLet me try.â He said with pure enthusiasm as the baby continued to cry. âOh. What do you know about babies?â She spat back. âLet meâŚâ He insisted only to grab the small babe from her to which he smiled down at Lily as he rocked her on his knee. âHello there, Lily?â He said. He just knew that- that had to be her name only for him to grin widely and chuckle when the baby had stopped crying only to smile up at him and make the coo sound. âSee. Told you.â Amir shot back at his older sister who rolled her eyes. âBeginners luck.â She said though couldnât help but to smile at the sight before her. âShe likes you.â She told him as this caused Amir to shrug with a smile. âThatâs because I am awesome.â He said in a playful manner- causing both brother and sister to laugh.
âShe is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.â Amir stated as he smiled down at baby Lily. âWell. Small person.â Amir corrected himself as Naima raised a suspicious brow. âUn. Uh. Nope. Get that out of your mind right now Amir Al-Raisani.â Naima said- Amir sighed. âBut⌠we have to take her back with us. Someone just left her here. We canât leave her. We were meant to find her.â Amir stated as he truly believed this as the first moment, he saw the baby laid on his knee before him he felt an instant connection and simply wanted to take care of her despite his young age. âThis isnât some stray animal that you can bring home. You know how your father is. This is a small babe. A living- breathing. Living person. You cannot possibly think you can keep her. Even if you could. You are a child yourself.â Naima spoke her words- however only to be interrupted. âI am not a child. By the age of twelve. Boys are considered a man. I can take care of her.â Amir insisted again only to pick the baby up in his arms to which he stood to his feet. âWhatever. I am not helping you. This is- all you.â She said pointedly. âFine.â Amir said as he began making his way down through the woods which led to the mansion the young teenager called home. âI still think that this is a bad idea.â Naima spoke out after a few minutes. âBe quiet- you⌠always so negative. Everything will be fine.â Amir assured her as the two continued to make their way only to arrive at their destination after another couple of minutes had passed.
Flashback Two: âDaddy. Daddy.â Seven-year-old Lily Monroe shouted the minute the older man stepped out of the car with a smile to her. This older man being none other than Amir Al Raisani of course who found the young child near a stream in the middle of some woods right below his home when she was only a small babe of a few months old. Ever since that day that he had found her. Surprisingly, he had been able to keep her with him and the family. Though of course not without certain rules. Situations. Etc. but despite his fatherâs bullsh*t and antics. Amir had strictly raised the little girl all on his own as his own. With a little help from his sister Naima whenever she would come to stay and his stepmother Katya Fielding- whenever she wasnât drunk of course. Either way. Lily Monroe was his daughter despite no blood relation of any kind to which she thought no different of him to not be her dad as Amir smiled at the little girl only to hold out his arms for her. âThereâs my princess.â He stated only for Lily to run up and into his arms to which Amir hugged her and kissed the top of her head. âI missed you daddy.â She said. âI missed you way more my sweet girl.â He told her only to boost her up into his arms- better⌠as she wrapped both arms around his neck. âWhat did you bring me?â She asked as this caused Amir to chuckle. âAnd who says that I brought you something?â He asked back- though in a playful manner. âBecause you always bring me something back.â She told him right back as this caused Amir to grin. âYou are getting way too smart for your own good- princess.â He said only to set her down at the table in the kitchen to which she flopped down onto one of the chairs as he pushed the chair up for her. âAre you hungry? Thirsty?â He asked. âYeah.â She eagerly answered. âWould you like some Juice. Or some cereal or pancakes?â He asked. âYeah.â Lily shouted causing Amir to laugh once again. âOkay how about Cereal first. Then maybe pancakes later.â He said as he made his way over to the cabinet only to grab a glass to where he set it down on the table in front of her only to pour her some orange juice to which she grabbed and began drinking right away as this caused him to smile as he grabbed the box of cereal. Placed some into a bowl for her. Poured the milk and handed her a spoon to which Lily grabbed the spoon and began to eat the cereal. âSo good.â She beamed as Amir grinned once more.
As Amir watched her eat, he smiled. âSo. Tell me⌠what have you been wanting more than anything else?â Amir asked. âA pet dragon.â Lily spat out all excitedly to which caused Amir to raise a brow as this caused him to chuckle. âOther than a dragon.â He spoke softly as he shook his head to where he knelt down to her level as he pulled out a sunflower necklace as well as a stuffed toy dragon as this caused Lily to look with big wide eyes. âDaddyâŚâ She squealed as she grabbed the dragon from him. âI know it isnât a real dragon butâŚâ He said though was interrupted. âI love it.â She said as she placed the dragon to her chest only to look back to the sunflower necklace which was her favorite flower. âSunflowers.â She beamed once more as Amir grinned and placed the necklace around her only to clasp it behind her neck. âHappy early birthday. Sweetheart.â He told her as it was five more days to the exact day eight years ago that he had found her by that stream to which he identified as her birthday for her seeing as he didnât know her real one but either way. That is when her birthday was celebrated. âThank, you, daddy.â She said only to step down from the table and hug him with both arms around his neck as he hugged her back. âYou are most welcome- princess.â He said with his own smile in return.
Flashback Three: âI thought that I would find you here.â Amir spoke softly as he looked at his now eleven-year-old daughter Lily Monroe who stared out- at the stream as she knelt down⌠grabbed a rock and threw it across the water to see it bounce and skip off of it to which Lily sighed as she swallowed hard. She had always felt a connection to this spot in the woods not knowing her history with it you could say as she turned around to look to Amir with a sad smile as she moved a strand of hair from out of her eyes to which she tucked behind her ear as she crossed both arms over her chest. She was far older and wise- beyond her young years as Amir saw the expression on her face which immediately, he became concerned. âSomething is wrong. What is it?â He asked as Lily offered a small smile. âAre you, my father?â She asked- straight out. Blunt fashion which caught Amir off guard. âWhat?â Had been the first thing out of his mouth as his heart skipped a beat. âWho⌠why would you ask that?â He asked. âJacob told me that you were not my real father. That my real parents abandoned me at this stream. That they didnât want me. Tell me that he is lying?â She said as she looked to him with a pained expression to which Amir took a step back. One⌠his heart sank in his chest at what all she had said. Two⌠anger rushed throughout him. At his father for yet another game that the bastard was aiming to play. But he wasnât going to let the older man win. Not by a long shot.
âI know all I need to. Your silence speaks volumes.â Lily stated when Amir remained silent and looked away from her- towards the ground. Though the moment he had heard this- he shook his head. âLily.â He said as he went to place a hand to her shoulder to which she jerked- and stepped back away from him. âDonât.â She said as her mind rushed. âI donât give a damn what that man told you.â Amir began his words- not calling Jacob- father. Which he hadnât done that since he was six years old. âYou are my daughter. My child. I am your father. Do you understand me?â He told her as he stepped closer. âWho took care of you? Who made sure you had everything that you needed? Who read you- your first bedtime story. Chased those scary monsters away from under your bed and the closet? Who took care of you when you were sick?â He said to which Lily smiled somewhat as a tear fell down onto her cheek to which Amir reached over and wiped. âYou.â She said as Amir gave a nod. âThat is right. Me.â He stated. âWhat does a father do? Take care of his child, right? Whenever they are hurt. Hungry. Scared?â Amir questioned. âYeah.â Lily answered as she cleared her throat. âBlood doesnât make a father. It is what a man does. By showing up. What makes a man a father is someone who loves you more than his own life. Who would give his last breath for you. Who loves you more than anyone in the whole world. More than anything. You are the most important person in my life and my brightest light. Do you understand?â He said to her as this caused Lily to smile. âYes⌠though that whole last bit was a bit pathetic even for you. I mean⌠such a sap. Went all mushy on me andâŚâ Lily said what she did playfully only to laugh when Amir shook his head and just pulled her over to him- hugging her with a tight embrace. âOkay. Okay. Didnât mean to step on your badass preteen reputation.â He said in his own playful tone as Lily chuckled once again as she hugged him back. âI love you, kiddo.â He said to her. âI love you to, daddy.â She said as Amir kissed the top of her head only to pull away from her after a few moments.
He only smiled. A sad expression forming across his face as he placed a hand to her face. âWhich is why this is going to be harder. Harder than it has ever been.â He tells her. âYour leaving again.â She said with a nod. âIâm sorry, princess.â He tells her. âNever mind it. Iâll see you when you get back in a few months.â She says to which Amir sighs. âThatâs the hardest part that I was just talking about⌠Iâm going to be gone for longer than just a few months. As of right now I donât know how long I will be gone.â He says to which Lilyâs mannerisms. Etc. instantly changes. âThen take me with you.â She was quick to say. âI wish I could. ButâŚâ He began to say as she shakes her head âOf course you can. You canât just leave me here with⌠them. Especially if itâs longer than just a few months like you said.â She spat back. âThis. Itâs dangerous.â He tried to explain to her. âI donât care.â Lily was quick to say. âI do.â Amir spat right back this time in a more stern- fatherly tone. âTake me with you.â She said again. her eyes pleading. âWhen this is done. This last job. I am done. I promise. Then I will take you with me. you and me- far away from here. And⌠to make things more official. How would you like it were your name to be⌠once I return with the official documentsâŚ. Lily Al- Raisani.â Amir tells her- serious and honest about his intentions once this last job was done. That was it. he was done. Little did he know that his plans for him and Lily to leave once this particular job was over had already been found out and certain things already set in motion for things not to work out the way that he had wanted. Especially things were Lily was concerned. And Lily who heard all of this. Looked with great surprise at the mention of the changing her last name to his last name- part⌠âDo you mean it? really?â She asked. âI never have meant anything more, princess.â He tells her only for Lily to reach over and hug him again as this caused Amir to chuckle as he hugged her back. Though held her a little bit longer this time as he swallowed hard. Â
Two Days⌠Before Amirâs Death: Connor had been sat on the blanket with a look of boredom on his face⌠much like Gabby currently was. Not that he was bored but he was also a man of action, like she was a woman⌠of such. The picnic was nice as well as the day, but Connor was one who could sit too long and when Gabby had finally spoken, he only smiled at her and kissed her passionately. âOh⌠I could think of a couple things that we could do before we leave.â Connor told her only for his look to her to grow more intense as his eyes darkened. âThat is if⌠of course⌠you would be⌠I donât know⌠interested.â Connor stated his words in a slow- teasing and playful manner only to move even closer to her where he kissed her passionately once again. âGood thing this is a more private area⌠wouldnât want to give a free show and were we to do so⌠screw it.â Connor spat out as he reached over and grabbed hold of her shirt to which he pulled off her only to move her down and to the ground where he moved to where he had unfastened her pants to which he slid down off her body only to move over to where he was on top of her as he began to kiss her passionately once again. âGetting the idea, yet?â He purred against her lips and once he had been completely naked⌠wasted no time before he had entered himself inside of her in a passionate manner to which he moved his mouth to her neck where he began to kiss and suckle the skin along it⌠leaving a love mark a few minutes later as he moved his hands down her body to where he grabbed both her legs⌠one at a time, however, to where he placed the both of them over his waist as he pushed inside of her even deeper- groaning against her lips when he had moved his mouth over to kiss her passionately again.
And once the two had finished Connor had got into the car and smiled at Gabby with a grin. âDo we really have to go and play with Mary and AmirâŚ. Maybe I want you all to myself for the moment before the birthday girlâs party tonight?â Connor stated, meaning Diana as it was the now eleven- year- oldâs birthday party to which he couldnât help but to chuckle as he kissed her passionately before giving a quick wink. âHmm⌠now that I think about it⌠some car action before we head over there, wouldnât hurt⌠what do you think?â Connor said to her with a very playful tone to his voice and look to match though his expression soon turned to that of an intense one again as he reached over and kissed her neck only to slide his tongue over her ear⌠nipping down on it as he kissed her nose. Either way⌠after some time the two had finally arrived at Mary and Amirâs house⌠only to get out of the car and head for the front door as the couple both walked inside and began heading towards the basement to where Connor couldnât help but to grin wickedly when he also heard the noises of pleasure coming from down the stairs and in the laundry room. âSomeone is having a good time.â He said what he did to Gabby only to reach the bottom steps after a few more seconds had passed.
Once Mary was completely dressed looked to both Connor and Gabby only to sigh. âNatural, maybe; but⌠maybe some day you two will learn to knock or to call before you arrive.â Mary said a bit snippy to which Connor couldnât help but to chuckle. âSomeone is in a mood.â He said with a wink to Mary who rolled her eyes. âNot a mood⌠only saying.â Mary stated with a raised brow. Though she couldnât help but to chuckle when Connor had made the comment that he did about the laundry room and why he and Gabby never had done it down there before. âWell⌠perhaps you two are just not as creative as the two of us.â Mary said with a wink to them as she looked to Amir with quite the amused grin. âHey⌠I am not complaining, babe⌠I am only making a statement over here.â Connor said back to Gabby only to chuckle once more as he looked to Mary with a shrug. âMore creative⌠yeah I donât think so.â Connor told her which caused Mary to shrug. âWere you to want to test that theory out perhaps you two might want to turn around and walk back up those steps and out the door and weâll see you a bit later for Dianaâs birthday party at the ice-skating rink around six oâ clock.â Mary chimed in as this got a look from Connor. âI didnât know any better Mrs. Al- Raisani I would say you are trying to get rid of us.â Connor spat out with a devilish grin to which Mary gave a c*cky smile in return. âYour quick.â She spat out as this caused Connor to chuckle. âI love you to.â He said playfully towards her to which Mary couldnât help but to chuckle as well. âSorry⌠but I have only two more days with this one here⌠and well⌠I would like to get as much of Amir and Mary time in⌠as much as possible if you know what I mean.â Mary stated as she wrapped both arms from behind Amir, around his waist.
âWhat if the man needs some rest⌠he could be tired.â Connor mused with a wink to Amir to which Mary had shrugged once again. âHe can sleep on the trip to wherever it is that he is going.â Mary was quick to say only for Connor to chuckle once again. âCome on, love⌠take a break⌠I mean⌠every time you turn around your pregnant, soâŚâ Connor began to say as this caused Mary to burst out laughing. âI am notâŚâ Mary spat out in response only to shake her head. âOh, pleaseâŚ. You two are like rabbits in heat⌠every damn day andâŚâ Connor had started to say only to get a punch in the arm by Mary even though Mary hadnât done so- too hard. âHey⌠nowâŚâ Mary spoke out with a playful grin across her face. Though chuckled and kissed the other woman back when Gabby had walked over and kissed her to which Mary couldnât help but to laugh once again when Gabby had started moving her back and towards Amir as she hit him from behind only to shake her head. âSeriouslyâŚâ She stated only for Connor to develop the biggest grin across his face. âThat a girl.â Connor stated only to sway his hips in a dancing motion. âBow chicka wow wowâŚâ He called out as he slowly danced around the couple and Gabby at that as though he was one of the characters on the movie Magic Mike to which Mary had laughed once again. âThey broke the mode when they made me⌠Al- Raisani.â Connor had told the other man as a result of what Amir had said about Gabby finally finding someone that suited her. âBut⌠yeah⌠she wonât find a better one than me thatâs for sure baby.â Connor retorted only to get behind Amir and push him against Mary even further with his ass as this caused Mary to laugh. âLetâs get it on⌠whoa⌠letâs get it on.â Connor sung once again only for Mary to raise a brow as she c*cked her head to the side at Connor and Amir. âI would pay to see that actually.â Mary muttered- meaning both Amir and Connor⌠ the two of them which caused Connor to chuckle and shake his head as he stepped back from Amir. âYeah, uh⌠no.â Had been the only thing that he could say for the moment.
âToo bad⌠that would have been hot⌠and a sight to see.â Mary stated with a wink to Amir as she moved closer to him once more- wrapping both arms around him as she grabbed his ass and squeezed it. âYou could always call in sick⌠so to speak. I would definitely make it worth your while.â Mary told him with a quick and simple kiss to his lips as she rubbed her nose against his with a chuckle. âThere are so many ways I could⌠persuade you, after allâŚâ Mary stated playfully towards her husband. âThough now that I think about it⌠I like to keep this one pretty much all too myself⌠sorry guys⌠I get a little⌠possessive, hate to say... when it comes to this one.â Mary said in reference to Amir only to point towards him- with a chuckle and shrug to him- and another wink to both Connor and Gabby as a result of what could be said of how Connor had turned down the offer so to speak that Mary had somewhat made of how she would have paid to see him and Amir, etc. âBut not to worry⌠not too much.â Mary stated in a playful manner only to look to Gabby with a suspicious look when it seemed that Gabby was trying to keep her from finding something so to speak. âWhy are you two here so early anyway?â Mary asked with that same suspicious look to Gabby. âYou wouldnât be up to something now would you Miss Booth? Because as I told the husband over there⌠there are ways of making you talk as well.â Mary stated with a wicked grin to Gabby as she grabbed the other woman by the shirt and pulled her closer to her where she kissed her passionately though broke the kiss only to raise a brow when the door had opened upstairs and she heard Diana rush in. âMy babyâs homeâŚâ Mary said with a grin. âYes⌠that definitely sounds like the birthday girl.â Connor chimed in as Mary made her way out the laundry room and up the basement steps to where she walked out the door and over to Diana. âBirthday girlâŚâ She called out to Diana- her youngest child to which Diana grinned. âMommyâŚâ She called out only to make her way over to Mary and hug the other woman who hugged her back with a kiss to her cheek. âSoâŚâ Mary began to say as the moment that Diana saw Amir⌠she grinned and rushed away from Mary. âDaddy⌠daddyâŚâ Diana called out to the other man as this caused Mary to chuckle. âAnd just like that⌠mama doesnât even exist when someone sees daddy.â Mary stated with a playful tone and wink to Amir as Diana rushed over to Amir and hugged him. âDaddy⌠daddy⌠do you have to leave the day after tomorrow?â The now eleven-year-old asked him. âI had a bad dream last night. That I woke up and you were gone. And no matter what I did I couldnât find you.â Diana told him only to look to him with sad eyes. âYou are going to come back right daddy? Youâre not going to leave me, are you?â Diana asked with another hug to her father as she hugged him with a very tight embrace.
Though after about a minute or two later, Connor had been one to break the ice. âSo⌠birthday girl. How old are you today?â He asked as this caused Diana to look at him. âYou know how old I am Uncle Connor.â She said back in response as this caused Connor to chuckle. âJust tell me anyway.â He spoke. âEleven.â Diana said back to him before she had turned back to Amir. âSo⌠daddy⌠what did you get me for my birthday?â Diana asked. âDonât you want to wait until later tonight at the party with all your friends and everyone else there?â Mary asked as Diana shook her head. âI want daddyâs present now.â Diana stated as she looked back to Amir once more.
One Week Later: Mary laid in the bed that day. Pretty much like she had done the past week since she heard the news of Amirâs death. She had not eaten or drunk⌠what she did try and eat, or drink was almost next to nothing to which wasnât good for her, but she didnât care. Little did she know that she was already pregnant- so there was that. No matter what anyone said or did to try and get her to snap out of the episode she was in which had been more like a daze or dream state one could sayâŚ. or as though she was in some type of trance could also be said⌠but those that were there with her off and on⌠trying to help her get back to normal- it didnât work. The last time that the dark-haired woman even cried and broke down had been the exact day that Adam Dalton had come to her door and told her the news. That moment on she had been numb. Just numb. The tears seemed to simply not come. Though she knew that when they did again⌠there would be no stopping them. At least for a while as Mary had swallowed hard only to let out a much-needed breath even though taking a simple breath brought her pain. When she could manage to breathe that is. Out of everyone Amir had been the one to pierce her heart so to speak the most. More than Arthur Pendragon. Octavian Mills. No one compared to him⌠not even close and now he was dead. Never to return.
One of her oldest daughters strictly with Amir⌠Elena Gilbert who had been the third born- Dinah Al-Raisani who had been the first and oldest⌠followed by Amelia Al-Raisani who had been the second. Either wayâŚ. Elena had come to stay with her mother along with Gabriela Booth almost immediately- the day after the news had been told and Elena had also tried to get the older woman to eat and to drink and to snap out of the current state, she was in but to no avail as Elena was simply getting frustrated. Not at the fact that her mother was in this state⌠as it had been natural of course after losing a loved one etc. and Elena was going through her own stages of grief and heartbreak, but she was getting frustrated at the fact that she had not been able to help her mother and the younger woman had simply come to feel helpless and that was something that no matter the situation that Elena never liked to feel. She only hoped that whatever Gabby could do⌠her motherâs longtime girlfriend could get the job done and get Mary back to her old self even though Mary knew that a part of her mother would still be missing if that made sense. At least back to some type of Normalcy is all that Elena wanted as she had come to let out a much-needed breath upon having stopped at her motherâs door to the older womanâs bedroom to which she gently knocked on the door despite the door being open. She did it out of respect and courtesy one could say. âMomâŚâ She had called out to her before crossing both arms over her chest to which she shivered a bit but cleared her throat. âItâs me⌠Elena.â Elena stated as slowly made her way over to where her mother was as she sat down on the bed beside her. âMom.â Elena called out again only to place a hand to the other womanâs shoulder.
âI know who my children are.â Mary had spoken with what could be described as both an annoyed and bitter tone to which Elena had given a sad look. âWell⌠at least she said something.â Elena stated to the familiar presence in the room suddenly which caused her to turn her attention to the older woman with a sad smile who of course was⌠Gabby. âShe hasnât said much in the last week⌠soâŚâ Elena had said what she did only to not finish the rest of her sentence and to fall silent a few moments later. âI am right here.â Mary had snapped to which Elena had turned her attention back on her mother. âOf course, you are. I⌠I didnât mean it like that. I justâŚâ Elena began to speak her words though once again decided it best to go silent once more. âCould you please just leave⌠the both of you. I want to be alone.â Mary stated as this caused Elena to sigh. âAt least eat something. Get out of bed. Do something. We can leave but please come with us.â Elena said what she did trying to get Mary to react and to get out of bed⌠to do something but sighed when Mary muttered what she did next. âMaybe later⌠I donât feel good right now. Just let me sleep. I need to lay down a bit more then I will get up⌠I promise.â Mary said only for Elena to shake her head as she turned to look to Gabby once again. Truth was⌠Mary had sung this same song and danced this same dance since that fateful day once she had been calmed down though had only been calmed through a sedative which she had come to find out from Dalton to which she cleared her throat as she looked down at her mother. Another truth was- was that Mary simply wanted to go to sleep⌠and to not wake up. She had been in a room full of people on and off⌠different people since she learned of Amirâs death but even with all the people nothing or no one filled that void⌠she still felt alone. âPlease⌠leave. Come back later. I just want to be alone right now.â Mary mumbled the words only for Elena to shake her head- standing to her feet. âOkay⌠later; then maybe you will try and eat something. Drink something.â Elena said. âMaybeâŚâ Had been the only thing Mary had said.
Elena made her way over to where Gabby was standing and gave a quick shake of her head as the younger woman had walked out of Maryâs room only to sigh yet again as she cleared her throat. âDid you call in the calvary yet?â Elena asked as she had meant Merlin and Acacia of course. Already knowing that Gabby had intended to call them and couldnât help but to smile- somewhat⌠when there had been a knock on the door from downstairs. âMaybe that is one of them now.â Elena said only to quickly make her way down the stairs and over to the front door where she opened it to see Dalton standing there to which she raised a brow. âOh⌠you.â Elena stated though had not meant to say what she did in an offensive way it had sort of just came out that way. âA pleasure to see you to.â Dalton spat out in response as this caused Elena to roll her eyes. âWhere is your mother?â He asked. âWhere she has been for the past week. Upstairs in her room. She wonât come down. Eat or drink anything. No matter what we do.â Elena said as Dalton gave a nod. âYeah⌠I heard from Jaz⌠either wayâŚâ Dalton had said his words though as he had been about to continue⌠he had been cut off by Elena instead. âMaybe you shouldnât be here right now.â Elena said to which Dalton sighed. Before he could say much of anything else- he had seen his sister come over to them to which he rolled his eyes as a result of pretty much the other woman having said almost the exact same thing that Elena did but with different words. âYeah⌠not going to happen. Iâm not leaving here until she gets up. You two tried your way. Now it is my turn.â Dalton stated only to push past both women where he quickly made his way up the stairs headed to Maryâs room as he let out a quick breath once he had reached the door only to look with his own pained expression and his heart aching for her and what she was going through as he saw her laid on the bed to which he shook his head, only to clear his throat as he slowly entered the room though had knocked first pretty much out of common courtesy the way that Elena had done, earlier. All he could think about was the fact that maybe because she didnât want to see him would be the exact thing that would ignite that spark within her to get up⌠do something⌠etc.
âMary.â Dalton spoke softly as he made his way over to the bed. When she did not answer him, he could only sigh and shake his head. âMary.â He called out her name again only to walk over to the other end of the bed to where she would be able to see his face. âMaryâŚâ Dalton said her name for the third time to which Mary had only responded by turning around to lay on her other side as she let out a breath. âWhat are you doing here? Go away!â Mary said as Dalton shook his head. âYou get up first and eat something and I will be happy to leave.â Dalton told her only to walk over to the other end of the bed to where she could see him once again as this caused Mary to sigh. âGo away.â Mary called out. Even louder this time as Dalton raised a brow. âGet up and make me leave and I will.â Dalton stated to which Mary looked to him this time with a complete glare only to grab a pillow and throw it in his direction to which he caught and tossed towards the wall across from him. âCome on, Mary⌠please.â Dalton said almost with a pleading voice as he moved closer to the bed where he sat down beside her. âPunch me. Spear me off the bed. Do something.â Dalton said though couldnât help but to chuckle. âUh⌠maybe not spear but you get the idea.â He said with a hand to her arm- wanting to just comfort her. âGet up.â He said in almost an order. âNo⌠leave.â Mary spat back. âGet up soldier.â Dalton demanded this time. âI am not your damn soldier⌠not anymore⌠so get the hell out.â Mary said with more of an annoyed tone to which Dalton shook his head. âGet up and make me⌠as I said.â Dalton told her only for Mary to turn back around to her other side to where Dalton sighed heavily as a result.
The moment he heard his sisterâs voice it had caused him to roll his eyes. âNot now, Gabby.â He said as he stood to his feet only to walk over to the other side of the bed to where she was facing him again. âMary⌠come on. PleaseâŚ. Get up! Eat something. You canât go on like this much longer.â Dalton told her. âWhy not⌠who says I canât.â Mary spat out to which Elena had been the one to sigh this time as she rubbed her head. âClearly it is not working.â Elena muttered with a look to Dalton, then to Gabby. âYeah, whatever.â Dalton had said to Gabby when the other woman had left the room- telling him that he had better be gone when she got back to which he shook his head. âHate to disappoint.â He called out to her though turned his attention back to Mary once more. âMary⌠come on. Do you think that Amir would want this? For you to stay here in bed⌠to lay here and to give up? He would want you to go on. To be happy and to live your life.â Dalton told her and before he could say another word, Mary had shot him a glare. âShut up.â Was all she had said. âWhy? It is the truth. He would wantâŚâ Dalton began his words only for Mary to give him more of a colder look this time. âHe is dead. So, who knows what he would have wanted! Now leave⌠GO⌠I wonât tell you again.â Mary almost hissed as this caused Dalton to shake his head.
âMary Al- Raisani⌠get up out of that bed right now.â Dalton said with another demanding tone. âWhy canât you leave me alone.â Mary said with tears in her eyes. âBecause⌠I want you to get out of that bed and take care of yourself. I care about you, Mary.â Dalton said to which Mary let out a cynical laugh. âI bet you do.â She spat out as this caused Dalton to raise a curious brow. âMary⌠We want you to be okay. To take care of you. I only want to help.â Dalton told her to which Mary had sat up for the first time that day in order to look to Dalton with a glare. âI think you have helped enough.â Mary said bitterly to which Dalton gave a confused look. âI⌠am sorry.â He simply spoke as Mary swallowed hard as her features turned completely dark. âI will be right back.â Elena had told them whether, or not they had listened was a different story as a result when she had heard a knock at the door downstairs only to walk out the door where she began to make her way down the steps- headed to the door. âHold on. Coming.â She said out loud only to reach the door a few moments later.
âHe wouldnât have been there had it not been for you.â Mary spat out. âHe was on leave and suddenly he wasnât. For some reason he just had to be on that mission.â Mary continued- her words cold as ice so to speak. âAt the last minute he was needed. No one else could do the job.â Mary stated to which Dalton swallowed hard. âMaryâŚ.â He began but was cut off. âNO⌠you let me finish.â Mary hissed. Though immediately moved to where she had gotten off the bed and was now standing to her feet. âMaybe there was a reason he was suddenly needed for this mission.â Mary spat out with a glare towards him. âWhat are you trying to say?â Dalton simply asked to which caused Mary to shove him backwards, away from her. âYou have always been jealous of the two of us. Of him. Because I chose him instead of you.â Mary began her words. âThat is enough.â Dalton was quick to say. âNo⌠itâs not! Itâs not enough at all! Maybe you wanted him to die!â Mary said as she shoved him backwards again. âYou were supposed to keep him safe! Protect him! I donât care how good of a damn agent he was⌠you were supposed to make sure he was okay and came back home. You failed!â Mary told him only to step up even closer to him- directly in his face. âSo⌠Maybe you wanted him to die.â Mary said once again. âWhy would I want that?â Dalton simply asked- letting her get out what she needed to do. Because hell⌠at least this was something he told himself though couldnât help but to swallow hard once again. âThat way⌠there would no longer be competition for you.â Mary simply told him. âI love you Mary⌠I always have and I always will⌠I still do⌠but you are wrong. I want you happy no matter what⌠whether it was with him⌠me⌠or whoever.â Dalton told her to which Mary shoved him back again. âLiar.â She yelled out. âI donât believe you.â She also yelled out and as she had been about to shove him again, he had grabbed her by both her hands before she could do so. âStopâŚâ He simply said to which Mary only looked to him with complete sadness and as though her entire world had shattered in that moment only to start breaking down right there as she began to cry. âYou wanted him toâŚâ She began her words but couldnât finish him as Dalton just pulled her closer- wrapping both arms around her as he hugged her with a very tight embrace. âItâs okay⌠Iâm sorry. Iâm so sorry.â Dalton spoke softly as Mary continued to cry. Â
----------------The Present: Various Locations----------------
Adam Dalton sat in the tented van- outside of the marketplace to where the meeting would take place with Preach on the roof as an extra lookout with Jaz sitting next to him and McâG as a bartender outside the small cafĂŠ- restaurant. âI donât like this⌠I donât like this at all.â Dalton stated as he also had a bad feeling which had lasted the entire time that he and unit had been in Peru⌠from the moment they arrived to where the group was now. He listened to what his sister had said through the mic only to give a nod. âCopy that⌠but I feel as though things are about to go awry, I am pulling everyone back.â Dalton stated to which Preach gave a nod âCopy that, boss.â He had said as Jaz sighed and looked out the window. âWhat has you on edge?â Jaz asked the man next to her as Dalton shot her a look. âI donât know. I mean⌠I cannot pinpoint it, but something is⌠wrong⌠off⌠about this whole thing.â Dalton told her truthfully only to clear his throat. Little did he know that the daughter of Amir⌠who he had helped to raise after Amirâs supposed death was in Peru and at the same cafĂŠ as they spoke⌠so to speak. This daughter of his dead- best friend⌠Diana Rose Al-Raisani to be exact. Someone of who he was also fiercely protective over to which he had let out a much-needed breath a few moments later. âWhere the hell is this guy?â He simply muttered.
After a few minutes it had been McâG to speak through the mic as after he had poured a glass to one of the customers, he had turned around to make it look as though he was fixing another drink when he had seen Omar be the first one to sit down. âWeâve got action⌠ladies and gentlemen.â He stated only to turn back around as he poured a glass of Whiskey into the glass that belonged to a woman sitting across from him to which he gave her a polite nod and smile. âGet ready on my command everyone⌠just in case.â Dalton instructed as both McâG and Preach answered. âCopy that.â Both men had said.
âWhat is he doing?â McâG muttered out after a few minutes when Omar had stood back up only to walk away. âWhat is who doing?â Dalton was quick to ask. âThe target that met with Assan just got up and walked off.â The man stated. âThink he got spooked?â Preach asked. âNot spooked⌠maybe this man isnât the original buyer but a decoy⌠or the real buyer sent him out first to scope the place.â Jaz was quick to throw out. âSmart girl.â Dalton stated with a wink to her to which Jaz grinned. âBut⌠Dalton⌠you are a married man.â She stated in a playful manner to which Dalton couldnât help but to chuckle. âSorry, love⌠I currently have eyes only for one woman right now.â Dalton continued the playful banter. âWho it so happens⌠happens to be my mother.â Jaz Continued- meaning Mary Stuart of course to which she let out a sigh and leaned up into the seat when McâG had informed them another player so to speak had come up to the table only to sit in front of Assan. âOkay boys⌠and Gabby⌠Tigress⌠this it is.â Jaz chimed in as McâG noticed the man sit down in front of Assan who caused him to look taken back for a moment. âIt⌠canât be.â McâG muttered as the man he saw looked like the thought to be dead, Amir Al- Raisani⌠one of his friends and former unit member as he walked from behind the counter out in front of the bar. Either it was Amir, or his eyes were playing tricks on him⌠and it wasnât Amir at all but someone who favored him or at least that is what he told himself for the moment as he needed to get a closer look. âCanât be what, McâGâŚ. talk to me?â Dalton said into the mic. âI am going in to get a better look.â McâG informed them to which Dalton shook his head. âDamn, it, McâG⌠stand down⌠that is an order.â Dalton ordered the older man but to no avail as McâG began to make his way through the crowd only to look with wide eyes when he had seen Diana and Bethany. âSh*tâŚâ As he had spotted them around the same time that Gabby seemed to have. Even though it had been Gabby to answer Daltonâs question when the other man had questioned his sister on whom she was talking about. The woman not mentioning that who she was talking about was Diana and Bethany. He had seen Amir in that moment and looked with wide eyes yet again. âSon of a bitch.â He spat out though had turned around when a man had come up to him and grabbed hold of him only to shove him backwards. âYou stole my girlfriend you son of a bitch.â The man hissed- who was drunk and mistaken as this caused McâG to give him an annoyed look. âAre you out of your mind.â Had been the only thing that the man had said before the drunk had punched him in the face and suddenly a fight had broken out as McâG had punched the other man in return.
âPreach get down to McâG as fast as you can.â Dalton ordered when the commotion had broken out, etc. only to look at Jaz when his sister had mentioned that a civilian was bleeding out on the ground after he had heard a shot ring out⌠only to be informed that another hostage was taken. âJaz⌠get to the civilianâŚâ Dalton ordered to which Jaz gave a nod only to jump out of the van and start running towards the cafĂŠ to where she had run over to who was⌠she saw with wide eyes⌠Bethany laid out on the ground already in a pool of blood. âWhat the hell? Dalton⌠weâve got a serious problem.â Jaz told him as she began to try and help Bethany out as best, she could. âHey⌠Bethany⌠sweetie⌠look at me⌠it is Jaz⌠stay with me, sweetheart⌠okay? Keep your eyes open.â Jaz told her. âIâm on it.â Preach had spoken out into the mic when Dalton had given his order as he began to make his way down from the roof in order to meet up with McâG.
âGabby⌠do not follow pursuit⌠I repeat do not follow pursuit⌠wait for backup.â Dalton ordered her as he gave a wide-eyed look. âwait⌠did I just hear you say Bethany⌠what the hell is she doing here?â He asked, not knowing that the hostage was Diana⌠but suddenly had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that it was as his breath caught in his throat as a result. Wherever Bethany went- Diana was not far behind and you never saw one without the other to which caused him to get out of the van. âI will ask you this once and only once⌠the hostage they took⌠is it⌠Diana?â He asked Gabby to which he scowled and muttered underneath his breath when He heard from her own mouth that she was going after Assan and the two men with him as well as the hostage as he shook his head. âEveryone back to the van⌠as fast as you can.â Dalton ordered only to rush through the crowd and over to where Jaz currently was with Bethany. âPreach⌠I need the medical kit⌠I forgot it⌠hurry.â Dalton called out to Preach after a few minutes to which the man once the fight had ended⌠been broken up had made a mad dash for the van in order to get the medical kit to which Dalton had called in for an ambulance.
Once Bethany had been placed inside the ambulance, Dalton looked to Preach. âI know you want to come with us but stay with her.â Dalton told him as Preach gave a nod- getting into the ambulance with Bethany as Dalton looked to Jaz and McâG. âWe need to locate Gabby and to where these bastards are who took Diana, and we need to get her out of there as soon as possible.â Dalton stated as his fellow team members followed him over to the van where they all got inside where Dalton had wasted no time in starting the van up and driving away. âTalk to me, Gabby⌠where are you?â Dalton asked into the mic after about twenty minutes of driving.
And after another twenty minutes had passed, Adam growled and grit his teeth when Gabby insisted that she would go in. âWait for backupâŚâ He simply told her, but it had been too late as Gabby had already made it inside to which he clenched his jaw. âHer ass is benched indefinitely I swear to god.â Dalton muttered only after he felt the loud crackling noise in his ear that indicated that Gabby had stomped on and destroyed the mic, she had in her ear to which he swallowed hard. Not only did he have to worry about Diana⌠and whether Bethany would live through the whole ordeal but now he would have to worry about his own sister⌠added to the mix.
Diana listened as the three men went back and forth on what should be done about her which caused her to turn her attention strictly to Amir with a glare to him though remained silent. âDonât do me any favors.â She said in almost a hiss but what was a definite bitter tone. However, she came to look with wide eyes when Assan had trained his weapon on Amir due to her slip up as her heart dropped in her chest out of fear for him despite everything currently. âDonât.â She called out to which Assan looked with quite the amused grin across his face. âWhat is the matter my dear? Afraid I am going to hurt daddy?â Assan mused and winked to Amir afterward. And this caused Diana to try and grab for her phone⌠remembering she still had it; but to no avail when Omar had walked over to where she was⌠grabbing the phone from her hand and snapping it in two⌠breaking it. âJust who was it that you were going to call my dear?â Omar said with a hiss only to grab Diana by the back of her hair and jerk her head back towards him. âSome back up perhaps⌠answer me.â He growled after a few moments as a result of Diana saying and doing nothing but giving him a glare in return. âStop.â Assan called out to the other man. âLet her go.â Assan also instructed to which Omar rolled his eyes and let go of the younger woman- pushing her head forward.
Diana had only come to develop what had been a pained expression across her face a few minutes later⌠particularly at the part where her father had told both men that he was loyal to the group and not to her- followed by his last words to which after they were said caused her to swallow hard. âYou might as well shoot me where I stand.â  Diana spat out in defiance- only to try and jerk back away from the other man when Amir had walked over to where she sat on the ground and had pulled her up and over to him which caused her to gasp and to grit her teeth from the pain that shot through her leg. âLet go of me.â She hissed out to the other man; though turned her attention to Assan when her father had aimed his own gun at the older manâs head. âWho are you?â Diana asked Amir... as shocked and confused as ever so to speak at how he threatened the other man, etc. and once the two were away from the other man at least for the moment- Diana shook her head. âSo, this is where you have been this whole time? And doing what? Betraying your country and the people who loved you the most?â Diana asked.  âCoward!â Diana almost growled- seconds later as she tried to break free from his grip once again. âOr was it simpler than that? Did you⌠I donât know wake up one day and get tired of your familyâŚ? If that were the case, you could have simply bowed out gracefully instead of⌠of this. You sure as hell didnât have to fake your death in order to break free of us.â Diana continued to lash out at him which caused Omar to chuckle behind the two. âUh, oh⌠someone is mad at daddy.â Omar said with an amused tone to what had been a result of him having overheard the conversation.
However- when the two had managed to take the lead with both men a good couple feet away from them- following behind that was when she heard the whisper to her when Amir had pulled her closer to him. Which caused Diana to let out a bit of a cynical laugh. âOr⌠what? Iâm grounded?â Diana spat back to his âtrust himâ comment as she had been quick to glare once again. âI donât even know who the hell you are!â She scowled and the moment she had been led to the van planted both her feet to the metal door in front of her only to head-butt the other man with the back of her head as she positioned all her bottom weight against the van⌠walking up the door a couple steps- where she wasted no time with being able to do a backflip after the fact which she landed behind Amir- hurt leg and all⌠adrenaline which had kicked in⌠fueling her actions as she reached up and kicked the gun out of his hand to which she reached over once again and grabbed hold of his arm only to jerk him back and kick his feet out from underneath him to which she had grabbed his gun that had fallen a few feet away from him where she grabbed the gun moving to where she was now in front of him only to aim the gun at her father with a c*cky look across her face. To which caused both Omar and Assan to laugh at this as Assan raised a brow. And Omar looked to Diana with quite the intense look as he looked over every single inch of her.  âWhat do you know? Baby Amir has claws.â Omar spat out as Diana shot the man behind her father a glare. âYou have no idea.â She spat out in a dangerous tone only to point the gun back on Amir- his own gun at him to be exact. âI also donât like a gun pointed at my head.â She stated with a glare to her father that were her eyes bullets he would be dead already. âNow I am the one who has a gun aimed at your head. What are you going to do about it?â She said with bitterness to her tone once again. Though stepped back away from him and towards the van only for another pained expression to form along her features to which she cleared her throat.
âPut the gun down right now, love⌠or there will be no need to take you with us. I will shoot you where you stand.â Assan threatened to which caused Diana to develop quite the wicked smirk across her face as she kept the gun aimed to Amir. âThreats against me wonât do you a single bit of good I assure you.â Diana told him to which Assan now developed a knowing grin across his face. âIs that right?â He spoke out only for Diana to shrug. âYou expect me to believe that you are going to shoot him?â Assan asked with a raised brow. âThat all depends on you. As far as I am concerned there is no difference between you. Like you⌠he is the enemy⌠so why not.â Diana stated as this caused Assan to smile once again. âHow about I call your bluff⌠princess?â Assan spat out as he took his own gun and aimed it at the back of Amirâs head this time. âI could just shoot him right now right in front of you and save you the trouble. I donât really need him after all. There are more people who I can sell my weapons to so give me a reason, love; please⌠I find him to be a bit of⌠annoying and out of his league anyway. I donât like his attitude. I kill him⌠then kill you⌠doesnât really matter to me.â Assan stated only to take his gun and shoot it to the side of the other manâs ear⌠the bullet flying past Amirâs ear to which caused Diana to flinch and Assan to take his gunâŚre-c*ck it and aim it back to the other man. âOkayâŚâ Diana had been quick to say to which she had dropped the gun to the ground in front of her. âWhat do you know⌠she still loves her daddy despite the bullet in the leg that you gave her. She didnât even hesitate much less blink when I threatened your life with her dropping the gun⌠and⌠you were definitely on to something⌠brother.â He said straight to Amir with a pause⌠then said. âDaddyâs little girl is still loyal. Something to which I can greatly use to my advantage.â Assan stated⌠meaning with Diana still loyal to Amir of course⌠at least for now one could say⌠which caused a chuckle from Omar who grabbed Diana and shoved her forward towards the van causing Diana to hit the van with the side of her head which caused her to gasp then groan⌠only to get dizzy from the force of the impact which had caused a small gash to open right above her eye to which she shot back around with a glare to Omar who shook his head. âPlease⌠do it.â He said in a dangerous tone.
âOmar.â Assan simply stated much in the way Amir had said earlier to the other man by his name, though not as much in a dangerous tone as one of warning⌠which caused Omar to shake his head. âIn the van⌠now.â Omar hissed and as he had been about to grab Diana by the arm, she took hold of his hand- twisted it⌠only to break it- causing Omar to yell out as a result. âThat is the last time you touch me.â Diana spat back out towards him to which Omar had reached over and managed to punch her to which he grabbed her and jerked her around to where she was facing the van as he shoved her into the van only to press himself against her. âI donât give a damn who your father is⌠darling. Lose that attitude right now or I will make you wish your daddy never f***ed your mother- in order for- the bitch to pop you out. Understand?â Omar hissed against her ear which caused Dianaâs skin to crawl. âGet off me.â She growled when his hands went to the side of her waist and to her ass which he gripped. Which caused an immediate response from her to move her head back- headbutting him to which he had managed to grab hold of her again by the arm this time before she could strike him only to spin her around and shove her back against the van only to place his gun to her head. âPlaytime is over.â He stated as this caused Diana to look back at him and smile⌠with the gun placed to her head and all. âWhat is so amusing?â He asked. âI know men like you⌠men like you are a dime a dozen.â Diana responded. âAnd what do you think you know about men like me?â Omar asked with a sparkle in his eye. âMen who are complete scum. Men who feel the need to have to threaten⌠rape⌠and force themselves on a woman in order to make themselves feel more powerful and more adequate in the bedroom to make up for their⌠shortcomingsâŚâ Diana stated to which Omar glared. âYou think you know so much you little bitch.â He hissed. âAll I know isâŚ. been there⌠done that⌠so anything you do to me wonât work I assure you.â Diana stated with a glare to which he couldnât help but to develop the biggest- amused grin across his face. âSo that is it? someone f***ed you and you didnât like it?â Omar mocked her to which Diana gave him a stone-cold smile- her face unreadable.â Someone do the same to you⌠daddy, perhaps?â Diana spat back and as Omar had been about to make another move, failed to do so when Assan had spoken out. âLeave her be, Omar⌠I wonât tell you again.â Assan warned as this caused Omar to let Diana go as he shoved her back and into Amir. âJust five minutes is all I need⌠you and me⌠alone⌠five minutes and I would change that attitude of yours.â Omar stated. âToo bad your master wonât let you.â Diana threw back at him- meaning Assan as Assan shook his head⌠an annoyed look now on his face as he approached both Amir and Diana. âYou try any of that again my dear and I will put a bullet into your other leg to match the one that already has one in it. Understand?â Assan stated to which he turned his attention to Amir.
âGet her in line⌠and with the program- or despite whether or not it might be true that we need her⌠that we can flip the script and use her to our advantage and benefit. Whether or not we can truly turn her. I will have no problem shutting this sh*t down right now and put a bullet into her headâŚâ Assan threatened⌠and it was only after Diana had been pushed into the van by Amir that he said what he did⌠last. âThen again⌠in order to get what I want from her⌠her cooperation⌠maybe I should simply threaten you⌠Like I said she still loves her daddy, and it wouldnât take too much I am sure.â Assan spat out with a proud- sadistic grin. âThough⌠now that I think about it⌠it just came to me⌠ with you being the one- once we get back to interrogate and question her⌠might be far more entertaining then the other⌠I guess until weâve reached our destination⌠weâll just have to wait and see, wonât we?â Assan stated only to get in the back seat beside Diana as he closed the door⌠and within a few moments- Omar had drove away. Meanwhile back inside the van⌠Diana remained sat where she was, staring straight ahead of her. She had not spoken a word since she and the three men had left the area. Her mind was on one person and one person only⌠her girlfriend, Bethany; hoping and praying that the other woman was okay and that someone had gotten her to the hospital on time. She barely even notice the pain in her leg in fact. âYou have fire in your eyes my dear.â Assan spoke up after some time. To which left Diana unphased. âA fire but also a darkness in you⌠an anger- potential that has yet to be released.â He told the younger woman who remained with her gaze on the wall without one word. âBack before we left the marketplace⌠you spoke of knowing men like my new friend up there⌠Omar. Perhaps you said this because you are⌠were speaking from your own personal experience, yes?â Assan questioned her. âWho was it that hurt you pretty one? A teacher⌠family friend⌠someone you trusted or⌠was it a complete- stranger?â Assan continued to question in order to try and get a read on her. âDid someone force themselves on you? Who was it that rapâŚâ Assan began to ask but was cut short by Diana who shot him a glare⌠âStop trying to get inside my head⌠it wonât work! Do not presume⌠or assume that you know me⌠anything about me. Back there that whole thing⌠I was only bitching⌠trying to play to his level⌠nothing more.â Diana stated only to swallow hard as she tried to keep her face unreadable. Trying not to let her thoughts and mind go back to that day a few months after she joined a Black Ops of the CIA or what she thought to be the CIA⌠called division when she had been sent out on a mission with her⌠and who had been her partner at the time⌠who as strange as it may sound⌠her niece Seska Stuart. without the attendance of her Uncle Michael which had been set up that way⌠by her grandfather, Jacob⌠that Diana had been sent out on that first mission only to have sh*t hit the fan almost immediately once could say to where she had been attacked- beaten and raped by a man who simply went by the name of Carlos Dupree. Which she had been sure was one of his many aliases at the time. This had caused her to be out of commission so to speak- and bench for about six months where she had spent a good few monthsâ in the hospital until she had healed up and gotten back on her feet⌠something to which⌠that first mission and what happened every now and then would give her nightmares.
âI think you are lying.â Assan stated. âI donât care what you think.â Diana shot back. âWhat is the matter pretty one? Why donât you want to talk to me? What are you afraid of?â Assan asked which he had noticed immediately at the time of his last question that Diana⌠had turned to look to her father but had quickly looked away. âAh⌠you donât want him to know.â Assan spoke out with a look to Amir as well. âSomeone has daddy issues.â Omar spat out only to chuckle as he looked to Amir with a smirk. âI couldnât help but to notice how impressive those moves of yours were back there⌠with not only with my associate but your father as well⌠tell me⌠did daddyâŚâ Assan began his words- though before he could finish them- Diana spoke out instead. âThat man abandoned me when a long time ago⌠so as far as I am concerned what he does or doesnât know⌠itâs not like he gives a damn anyway about me⌠or what happened to me, either way.â Diana spat out with⌠her tone cold⌠as her gaze turned dark. âSo⌠it was not him who taught you how to fight then? Okay⌠never mind.â Assan stated, to which Omar chuckled once more. âLike I said⌠daddy issues.â He stated as Diana could only sigh as another pained expression managed to flash across her face. âWho trained you? I mean⌠you say you are not spy and yet you fight like one as Iâve said before⌠so letâs pretend I believe you for a moment⌠and you are no spy⌠where did you learn how to fight likeâŚâ And once again before Assan could finish his sentence, Diana was quick to cut him off once again. âMy Uncle Michael⌠ex- military⌠former badass.â Diana stated- though had said nothing else on the subject which caused Assan to chuckle. âToo bad he didnât skill you in on how not to get caught.â Assan stated as this caused Diana to glare at him. âNoted.â She spat out sarcastically to which Assan shook his head though lowered his eyes to her arms only to grab hold of one of them as Diana jerked her arm back from him. âDonât touchâŚâ Diana had begun to say but like she had done with him⌠a couple times⌠Assan had now cut her off. âI see a lot⌠and I see those scars on your arm⌠where are they from?â Assan began his questions again. âLook like old needle marks to me were I to not be mistaken.â Assan told her to which he leaned in closer to her. âWas it only heroin or a mix of drugs, love?â Assan asked as this caused Diana to clench her jaw and bite the inside of her cheek to keep her face unreadable. âThat was a long time ago.â Diana had said⌠only to leave it at that as Assan shook his head again. âNot that long ago⌠two to three years, perhaps four? Am I right?â Assan asked but had stopped his questions when the three man along with Diana had finally arrived at the warehouse. âlater⌠then.â He said only to stand up and open the door of the van where he jumped down from it as Omar got out of the van as well and slammed the door shut as he looked to Amir with an amused expression. âOh⌠come now, brother. Donât look at me like that⌠I was only playing back there⌠with your little girlâŚ. No hard feelings⌠I am not the one who it seems who has already f***ed her. As for whether or not she enjoyed it⌠who can say.â He stated as he gave a quick pat to the other manâs shoulder as he turned his attention to Assan.
âNow⌠be a good girl and step down from the van⌠no tricks or I put a bullet in daddyâs leg or maybe his chest⌠havenât quite figured it out- just yet.â Assan threatened Amir with a smirk towards him as Diana heard and saw this with a glare to him as she stood up in the van- ducking her head to where she stepped down from the van with the help of Assan who wrapped a hand around her arm to lead her forward and towards the warehouse⌠ only to enter the warehouse first where he pulled Diana over to a chair where he pushed her down onto it and grabbing some rope had tied both her legs first- then her arms to the chair⌠making sure they were as tight as he could get them with a smirk to her. âJust in case.â He stated only to stand back to his feet after he had been kneeling in front of her⌠only to see his remaining associates⌠Omar enter first with the other man behind him a few minutes later. âSomething happened to your face, brother?â Assan said to Omar with an amused grin across his face as he looked to Diana. And Omar had made his way over to where Diana was sat in the chair only to glare at her as Assan stepped forward and looked to Diana with a serious- dangerous expression. âHere is the deal⌠you will tell us everything that we need to know⌠but how you do that is entirely up to you. We can do this the easy way⌠or the hard way⌠donât make me have to use things⌠certain instruments⌠certain drugs which will absolutely make you talk⌠to hurt you⌠you donât want that believe me.â He told her as Diana raised a brow. âCareful you are making me hot.â She spat back in response to which Assan couldnât help but to chuckle. âTold you my friendâŚ. Daddyâs little girl has quite the smart mouth on her one that needs to be taken down a peg or two.â Omar stated, âCome over here and untie me and I will show you how much of⌠daddiesâ little girl I can be, prick.â Diana hissed out towards Omar who gave her a cold- dangerous look.
âTell meâŚ. who are you?â Assan asked, âWho are you really- you pretty⌠little girl?â Assan asked to which Diana let out a breath. âAshley Barnes⌠American college student. Here on vacation.â Diana stated. âAnd⌠you are a liar.â Assan said as he took out his gun and aimed it at her. âWho⌠are⌠you?â He asked again as his tone was more dangerous this time. âAshley Barnes⌠American college student. On Vacation with her girlfriend⌠Ashley Barnes⌠American college studentâŚâ Diana spoke multiple times which caused Assan to glare. âTo hell with this.â Omar spat out as he made his way over to Diana and Assan where he grabbed Diana by the back of her hair again and jerked her head back. âAnswer the question right now⌠or I swear to you that daddy over there will be left with cleaning your blood from off the wall and anywhere else that it may spatter when I put a bullet through your head and blow it off.â Omar threatened. âDo what you have to do.â Diana said with a wink to which Omar scowled and released her when Assan ordered him to. âFor the record that man is not my father⌠my father died when I was eleven years old⌠what he is⌠over there⌠he is a complete and total stranger⌠a traitor and disgrace to this country⌠especially those who fought and died to protect this country he calls home. Like I said⌠my name is Ashley Barnes⌠American college student. Here on vacation.â Diana stated with another quick glare to Amir to which Assan found amusing. âYour good baby⌠I will give you that.â Assan stated. âShe speaks as though she is former military of sorts⌠what do you fellas think?â Assan asked. âHow about it⌠where you in the military my dear? At least you can tell us that.â Assan said and asked to which Diana smirked. âArmy⌠or Ex- Army⌠kicked out when I decided to punch and break who it turns out was my commanding officersâ nose in three places when he decided to grab my ass.â Diana stated as she c*cked her head to the side. âYou could say I donât like to be touched.â Diana also stated as this caused Assan to lower her gaze to the necklace she wore around her neck. âThis⌠where did you get it? It is very⌠beautiful.â Assan said as he took hold of the necklace to admire it better. âFrom someone who it so happens⌠was my motherâs greatest mistake.â Diana spat out- the necklace which had been given to her by Amir- the comment she had made directed straight at Amir without the mention of any names as this caused Assan to sigh as he let out a frustrated breath.
âIt is obvious she is not going to tell us what we need to know this way⌠I say we take things up a notch.â Omar said with a nod from Assan. âI agree.â The other man had said as this caused Omar to give a sadistic look and grin to Diana who didnât budge at least when it came to the expression across her face. âBe right back⌠wait until you see what the toys Iâve got.â Omar stated as he made his way towards the door only to open it and walk out where he made his way out of the room and down the hallway as Assan looked to Amir. âThink you can babysit the brat while I am gone? I need to make a few phone calls.â Assan said before he gave a look to Diana, then back to Amir. âShe is not going to be able to escape by chance, is she? I have your word on that brother? Because⌠well⌠I donât believe⌠at least for the moment with her right here in front of us⌠and back at that marketplace that you are fully committed to the cause⌠I do hope she is not a weakness for you⌠because If so, I will eventually expose it⌠call me crazy but with that whole sudden you deciding to shoot her in the leg⌠was nothing but a ploy after all in order to save her life and throw us off the scene of where your loyalties truly lie. Either way at the end of the day you could say⌠we will see, and we will know. However, make yourself useful in our absence⌠patch up that leg of hers⌠it is starting to look a bit ugly. After all you did it, so it is your mess to clean up. Think you can do that?â Assan stated only to walk out of the room; letting it shut behind him where he walked down the hall and into another room.
After about ten minutes had passed, Diana had remained quiet. That was until she had looked up to Amir with a cold expression across her face. âWas it all a lie?â Diana asked. âThe happy family⌠the loving and caring husband⌠fatherâŚ?â Diana continued. âYou can at least look at me⌠look at me, damnitâŚâ Diana yelled out as tears started to form in her eyes which she tried to force back. âWhat did we do? To make you leave? Do youâŚ. Did you ever love us⌠give a damn⌠or was it⌠were we your job? Your cover? My mother would be ashamed of you. If she could see you now. You abandoned us⌠you abandoned me and all I ever did was love you. I loved you more than anyone, daddy⌠we all loved you and you just threw it all away and for what⌠so you could be here with these⌠these men⌠with your fellow terrorist buddies⌠what were you promised to sell your country out⌠and usâŚ? I just want to know⌠I want to understand how much we were worth.â Diana said as tears fell onto her cheeks now⌠everything falling out of her mouth one by one⌠one hurt word after the other. âDo you have any idea how it felt to watch the strongest woman you know⌠lose more of herself every day. To watch my mother slowly break more and more every single day over a man who in the end wasnât even worth it.â Diana stated- throwing out punch after punch at him one could say. âI have news for you⌠you might as well go ahead and kill me and end it now. Your friends can torture me⌠you can even torture me. Do what you got to do⌠give it your best shot because I am not telling you⌠or them a damn thing. Even were I to be some sort of spy⌠which I am not.â Diana stated bluntly and with a smirk back to him. âBecause that is what they want you to do, right? Torture me? Well⌠go ahead. I have had far worse done to me already then you even know.â She said only to swallow hard. âDo you know how it felt to be the only one at the father-daughter dance who didnât have a father to dance with? How it felt to have people laugh at you⌠not everyone but the ones who did⌠it was enough. You missed so much⌠you missed my first solo at the state fairâŚ. I am in a band⌠I sing⌠and I am damn good at it.â Diana stated. âYou left meâŚ. you⌠a father is supposed to protect their children⌠tell them that it is going to be okay after they have had a nightmare⌠check under their beds⌠their closetsâŚ. And say that there are no scary monsters⌠you sure as hell donât shoot them in the leg you son of a bitch.â Diana spat out with a glare to him once again⌠"You want to know what I saw in you as a child⌠a man who was a giant⌠who could do no wrong⌠who I adored more than anything⌠a man who on the outside appeared to love his family... you want to know what I see when I look at you now⌠a pathetic- broken man⌠a fraud.â Diana said only to shake her head and jerk back after a few moments. âDonât⌠I rather sit here and bleed out.â She had said in him in reference to her leg to which she tried to break free of the ropes binding her.
After a few minutes more both Assan and Omar walked back into the room with Omar pushing a cart into the room with all kinds of instruments on it⌠from needles⌠to other devices used to torture, etc. as this caused Diana to clear her throat⌠suddenly becoming nervous. âSo⌠where were we?â Assan asked only to be interrupted by who had been Gabriela Booth who had appeared suddenly to which he raised a curious brow as he had listened to everything that she had said. Looking from her- to Amir; back to the other woman as he looked to Omar. âDisarm her if need be.â He instructed ignoring the back and forth between both Amir and the other woman⌠to which Omar gave a nod who had kept his gun trained on her as he walked over to where Gabby was at. âTry anything I will put a bullet in your head.â Omar threatened. âHer headâŚâ Assan stated as he gave a nod towards Diana- quick to assume the two women were together. As this caused Omar to grin. âHer headâŚâ He stated only to jerk Gabby around to where he started to pat her up⌠search her⌠finding no weapons, etc. as he jerked her back around to face him. âAs far as weapons and wires go⌠sheâs clean.â Omar told them to which Assan gave a nod. âPlace her next to our guest of honor over there.â He gave as an order as Omar had pulled Gabby over to a chair that was beside Diana only to push her down into the chair to which he wasted no time as he tied both her legs and arms to the chair only to stand back to his feet as he took a few steps back. âI wouldnât mind having you⌠or daddyâs princess over here in a room alone together.â Omar stated with a look to Amir. âHer mother, either⌠the princessâ mother, not this bitch, I mean.â Omar stated in reference to Mary with a wink to Amir only to sigh and cross his arms over his chest. âI say we torture them both at the same time and see who breaks first⌠my money is on this one right here.â Omar stated pointing at Diana who glared at him what could be⌠she no longer knew⌠ten times now; or more⌠she simply lost count. âAmir⌠you got the princess⌠I got this one right here⌠unless of course⌠you would like to switch⌠no big deal.â Omar stated with a wink to Gabby only for Assan to sigh. âEnoughâŚ. You seem to forget this is still my show and I say what goes.â Assan stated only to grab out a needle which he filled with Heroin to which he would save the actual torture drugs so to speak, for later⌠to which he walked over to Amir and placed the needle in his hand. âInject her with this⌠and afterward⌠weâll go from there.â Assan instructed Amir⌠to inject Diana with the heroin, etc. as this caused Diana to look with wide eyesâŚ. Not at the fact of the torture so much⌠but at what was inside the needle to which she swallowed hard. So much so her heart started to race and felt as though it would leap out of her chest at any given moment. âI am not a spyâŚâ Had been the only thing that she could say. âI think you are a spy my dear⌠and I think that you⌠and her⌠are working together.â Assan stated with a look to Gabby as this caused Diana to look to Gabby. âGreat job⌠really.â Diana muttered, though said nothing else as she cleared her throat once again. âGo on⌠brother⌠do it.â Assan ordered Amir- this time in an even more dangerous tone- meaning for him to inject Diana with the heroin though aimed his gun after a few moments had passed in the direction ahead of them when a tall- blonde haired man had entered the room- speaking with a heavy accent. âI will do you gentlemen one better⌠or you⌠Mr. Ahmed⌠I came her to propose a better business proposition for you. One that I think it would be in your best interest to take.â The man⌠Julian Sark had stated as he looked from Omar⌠Assan⌠and AmirâŚ. To Diana⌠then his sister, Gabby with a shake of his head⌠as he looked directly back at Diana, again; afterward. âYou think these women are spies⌠they can barely make themselves presentable in front of a mirrorâŚ. Look at them⌠pathetic sort if you want my opinion. Perhaps the girl⌠the younger one could pass for a spy⌠she is exceptionally beautiful and alluring⌠after all⌠could make a man do anything I imagine and cast him under her spell were she aiming for that⌠but that one⌠over there⌠isnât she a bit old and out of date?â Sark stated to Gabby with an amused grin⌠knowing that she would play along as he turned his attention back on Assan and the other two men as he placed both hands in his pockets. âSo⌠what do you say⌠care to hear me out?â Sark had said and asked only to become silent, immediately afterward as what the blonde- haired man had said had caused Diana to look in his direction with a raised brow at first⌠though a bit of a smirk⌠and a smokey- sultry mixed in back to the other man as she looked to Sark, only as she c*cked her head to the side. âFinally, a real man⌠a man with some real manners⌠or at least that is what I am led to believe anyway.â She blurted out towards Sark who looked to her with an amused- c*cky grin. âWhat can I say, darling⌠the ladies love me.â Sark stated only to turn his attention towards her- and back to the three men in front of him. The truth was⌠Diana and Julian Sark had been dating around eleven months now... and in a sexual relationship to boot⌠to which Sark had let out a sigh as he waited for whoever it was that would speak first. To the enemy it would look like simple banter back and forth between Sark and Diana⌠minor flirtation and sarcasm thrown into the mix⌠but to anyone elseâŚ. something else entirely⌠to the trained eye. As in those who knew them best so to speak.
--------The Present: Various Locations: Part two of two--------
Both women had been dancing among a group of people to the colorful music that was being played outside the local diner as Ashley turned around to where she placed her ass against Spencerâs front with her back against the womanâs chest as Spencer wrapped an arm over Ashleyâs neck as the two women grinded up against each other to the music as Ashley gave a quick look to Assan who sat across from them at a table waiting for the mystery man to show up. âNo sign of anyone yet.â Ashley stated only to sigh as she spun around and danced with Spencer who she was facing now as she wrapped both arms around the other womanâs neck leaning in to plant a passionate kiss to her lips. âShall we?â Ashley instructed as she made her way over to sit at the table right beside Assan only to grab hold of the small shot glass which had whiskey in it which she placed to her mouth and quickly downed it, swallowing the liquid⌠making a face of disapproval in the process. âGod that is horrible.â Ashley said, âNot that bad to me.â Spencer retorted as this caused Ashley to chuckle though perk up when a man had suddenly sat down in front of Assan. âWhere is he?â Assan asked. âHe is here but I came first to make sure you are not wired or anything else⌠he is not a very trusting man.â The man spoke to Assan who rolled his eyes. âDo whatever you have to do. I am a man to be trusted⌠can the same be said for your employer?â Assan asked as this caused the other man to smile before the same man had searched and checked Assan for wires, etc. only to find none as Assan raised a brow. âSatisfied?â He asked, âCompletely.â The man stated and turned his attention to Ashley and Spencer only for Ashley to look away as this caused the man in front of Assan to give her a suspicious look. âAnd you are?â He asked, âIâm sorry?â Ashley innocently spat back in his direction. âYou were watching us, yes?â He asked. âI was admiring that watch you have on your wrist thereâŚ. You see my father had one just like it⌠thatâs all.â Ashley told him only to turn around to face Spencer as the brunetteâs heart dropped in her chest only to swallow hard- hoping that the other man would buy her excuse as she cleared her throat. âMy employer will be with you soon.â The man said to Assan only to stand to his feet- give one last look to Ashley who still had her back turned to him as this same man had walked away.
âAshleyâŚâ Spencer spat out in a whisper. âWhat?â Ashley spat back. âCould you try too not be more⌠obvious.â Spencer said to which Ashley stood to her feet. âFollow my lead.â Ashley said before she had stood to her feet along with Spencer as she walked away and over to the bar though shot a look back to Assan as she got the bartended to pour her another shot of what she had just had earlier to which Ashely smiled at the man and downed the drink as she wiped her mouth off- clearing her throat. After a few minutes Spencer pulled Ashley over to her by the necklace that Amir had given to her on her tenth birthday to which Ashley couldnât help but to chuckle. âDonât look now but the mystery man is here.â Spencer said with a quick kiss to Ashleyâs lips as this caused Ashley to turn around where she saw Assan and the back of some manâs head to who she couldnât tell who it was but got an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach at what could be described as a feeling of connection to him for some reason. âDamn⌠we need a closer look.â Spencer said, âHold that thought. I left my⌠throw away bag over there on purpose.â Ashley stated as she stood to her feet. Though she had only made her way over to where the mystery man had sat in front of Assan as Assan⌠got up from the table and excused himself for the moment where Ashley moved out of the way to hide as he walked past her to which she looked to the other man⌠who still sat at the table as she quickly made her way over to where she had left her bag- not turning her attention on this man just yet as she grabbed a glass of water which had been set out on the table that she hadnât touched to which she purposely threw onto the man behind her- pouring the water down onto his chest and lap as she spun around with a wide eyed look. âOh⌠my god⌠I am so sorryâŚ. Here let me help you.â Ashley stated, and could only look in absolute horror and with wide eyes- going pale and white as a sheet when she had seen the man in front of her⌠the man that Assan had come to meet with⌠the man⌠this man⌠her long- lost, thought dead⌠father⌠Amir Al-Raisani. âD-DaddyâŚâ Had been the only words to escape out of Ashleyâs mouth as Spencer saw this take place. âWhat the hell?â She muttered though didnât make a move yet until she was sure she had no choice but to do so. âB-But your dead⌠y-you diedâŚâ Ashley spat out with tears in her eyes only to stumble back from the shock though moved even further back away from him when Assan and the man who had met with Assan before Amir had met with him had both walked up. âWhat is this?â The man who was second in command after Amir had stated as this caused Assan to raise a suspicious brow. âI forgot my bag.â Ashley was quick to say. âI told you that this girl was watching us.â Omar Assad told Assan who gave a nod. âYes⌠it seems so⌠âAssan noted with a dangerous tone as he stepped closer to Ashley who stepped back with another look to her father. âYou seem to be a fly on my wall ever since we happened to meet up at the hotel, I am staying in⌠who are you⌠you pretty little girl?â Assan asked as Ashley swallowed hard with a shake of her head. âI am no one⌠only a college student here on vacation with my girlfriend⌠a fly on the wall⌠I have no idea what you mean, sir.â Ashley told him only for Omar to grab Ashley by the hair to which he jerked Ashley over to him. âI think you are lying⌠and do you want to know what I like to do to liars⌠pretty ones such as yourself my dear⌠I like to cut their tongues out⌠only after I have f***ed them⌠that is.â Omar told her to which Ashley glared and Spencer looked with wide eyes. âF***âŚâ She muttered as she looked around the area surrounding her in an attempt to figure out what to do. âMy name is Diana Barnes⌠I am no liar.â Ashley told him only for Omar to let her go when Assan had placed his hand on the other manâs arm.
âCalm down my friend⌠there are ways we can get her to talk⌠ones more⌠private and away from here.â Assan stated as he looked to Amir. âWouldnât you agree my friend?â Assan said to the other man before he had turned his attention back to Ashley. âWhat do you suggest we do?â Omar asked. âEasy⌠take her with us⌠she has seen our faces⌠and even were she not to be a spy⌠we cannot leave her alive.â Assan stated as this caused Ashley to look with wide eyes. âW-what? You canât do this. I am an American and I have rights⌠a spy? I am no spy⌠what the hell is this?â Ashley spoke her words, keeping up the act she was highly trained for as she turned to look back at her father as though silently asking him for help- not knowing what else to do. âI say⌠kill her right now.â Omar spoke out after some time to which he pulled out a gun and aimed it straight at Ashleyâs head only for Ashley to reach over and knock the gun out of the other manâs hand where she elbowed him in the face only to spin around where she kicked him and knocked him to the ground though before she could do much of anything else had stopped and raised her hands up when Assan had been the one to aim a gun in her direction this time. âYou say you are no spy⌠and yet you fight like one.â Assan stated. âEasy⌠self defense classes paying off.â Ashley spat out only to look in horror and gasp when a shot rang out and she heard the gasp from a very familiar voice behind her- the voice belonging to Spencer who looked back to Ashley with wide eyes only to fall to the ground. âNoâŚ.â Ashley cried out only to kneel in front of her girlfriend and place both hands to the other womanâs stomach to try and add pressure to it to stop the bleeding. âI am so sorryâŚâ Ashley muttered with tears in her eyes only to feel a gun to the back of her head which caused her to glare.
âSlowly turn around bitch and stand to your feet.â Omar instructed her who had wiped the blood from his nose and mouth as this caused Ashley to stand to her feet only to turn around and face the other man as well as Assan and her father with a glare to Omar. âShe has nothing to do with this. She is innocent. I am no spyâŚâ Ashley started her words though gasped when Omar had reached over and snatched the earpiece out of her ear only to throw it to the ground and stomp on it. âThen what is that you stupid- little bitch.â Omar hissed as Assan aimed his gun back in Ashleyâs direction. âEnough of this⌠she dies right now.â Assan said and as he had been about to pull the trigger to shoot Ashley; another shot rang out instead⌠causing Ashley to gasp and fall to the ground⌠Ashley⌠who had been shot in the leg suddenly and shot by the man she never thought would hurt her⌠not in a million years⌠AshleyâŚ. Who had been shot by her own father as she cried out and fell to the ground⌠pain shooting throughout her leg which became unbearable almost immediately, âDamn, brother⌠you donât waste time,â Omar stated with a chuckle as he shot a quick look to Amir, âI want her dead⌠not shot in the leg⌠what are you playing at, brother?â Assan asked Amir as his attention fell back on Ashely who tried to get up but failed to do so when another sharp pain struck her throughout her leg which caused her to fall back to the ground as she slowly looked up to meet her fatherâs gaze. âW-Why⌠Why⌠daddy? I donât understand. What is going on?â Ashley blurted out without a second thought⌠all kinds of questions and thoughts rushing throughout her head- as this caused Omar to look with great shock. âAnd the plot thickens.â Omar stated to which Assan turned immediately to Amir and aimed his gun at Amir⌠pointing it at Amirâs head. âDaddy, huh?â Assan spoke out in a dangerous tone as he stepped closer to the other man. âYou know something⌠I see itâŚâ Omar chimed in. âShe has your eyes⌠daddyâŚâ Omar stated with a sadistic grin. âThere is no denying that one.â Omar shouted out in an amused tone. âSo⌠tell me something⌠daddyâŚ. Are you with us, brother⌠are you loyalâŚ? Are or you still playing the role ofâŚ. Protective and dutiful daddy to the princess over here? Speak now⌠or forever hold your peace.â Assan spat out as he kept his gun trained on Amir.
âWell⌠he did just shoot her- soâŚâ Omar began to say⌠âShut upâŚâ Assan spat back to which he turned his attention back to Amir.  âWhat is the play here my friend? Take her with us⌠orâŚ? Do you have some type of plan you care to share with the rest of us by your little stunt just now?â Assan asked- his words having meant of how Amir had suddenly shot Ashley in the leg, etc.  with a shrug soon after his questions of which he had asked as though in order to test and get a read on the other man as to what his answer would be and were it not the answer he wanted- he would kill them both where they stood by putting a bullet in their head. Â
---------The Present: Various Locations: Part one of two parts----------
âAshleyâŚ. AshleyâŚâ A distant voice resounded in the twenty-three-year-old brunetteâs ear to which caused her to snap out of her daze and come back to reality of which she pulled the ear plugs from out of her ear. âEarth to Ashley.â The blonde called out to her from beside her as this caused Ashley to turn to her girlfriend, Spencer Casey and flashed the other woman a forced smile. âWhere did you go?â Spencer asked. âNowhere I am right here.â Ashley replied. âToday is not a good day is all.â Ashley stated and like clockwork her mind went back to her father, Amir Al-Raisani. The man had died twelve years ago, today; to be exact as it was the anniversary of his death which had been extremely hard on Ashley even though she tried her best to ignore the pain⌠the emptiness that she had felt from her fatherâs absence. Though truth be told⌠while she took it hard. Harder then most⌠her mother, Mary Stuart⌠took it the hardest. Her mother who had been the strongest woman she knew⌠something broke inside the woman that day that Mary Stuart had learned of Amirâs death from Adam Dalton. That fateful day as Ashley cleared her throat. âDamn, babe⌠I had nearly forgotten. Today is the day your dadâŚâ Spencer began her words though was stopped short by Ashley who gave her what could be described as a territorial look of sorts. âNever mind.â The blonde said with a smile only to squeeze the other womanâs hand with a kiss to her cheek. âItâs not okay, but it will get better⌠one day.â Spencer simply told her, and this caused Ashley to smile.
Suddenly the bus came to a stop and the two found themselves in the beautiful land of, Peru. The two were there on vacation or so⌠that was the cover story that was given. The reality was that Ashley followed into her parentâs footsteps. Mainly her father of becoming an agent with the CIA or who she thought to be the CIA but was an enemy organization ran by the man known as Jacob Fielding; her grandfather though she had no knowledge of this. She simply thought she was serving her country and going after the men⌠men like the others who had caused her fatherâs death in order to stop them and bring them to justice to where they could never hurt anyone else ever again or ever see the light of day or breathe fresh air ever again for that matter. âShow time.â Spencer squealed as she stood to her feet to which Ashley let out a sigh⌠standing to her feet as well as she grabbed a bag and slung it over her shoulder. âHe would be so proud of youâŚâ Spencer said to try and reassure her girlfriend as well as ease some of the pain and heartache that the other woman was feeling only to smile and blow a kiss to the bus driver, Alberto along her way out of the bus. âThank, you, Alberto; my sexy dark-skinned future lover.â Spencer mused with a wink to the older man who couldnât help but to chuckle as he smiled at both girls and waved. âLater, my sexy American ladies.â Alberto responded with his own compliment only to shut the doors to the bus after both girls stepped down. âWelcome to paradise, baby.â Spencer squealed as Ashley gave her somewhat of an annoyed look. âWe are here on businessâŚ. not to enjoy the weather and bathe in the sun.â Ashley stated somewhat sarcastically to which Spencer sighed. âI know⌠but, whatever. Canât hurt to try and enjoy a bit of what Peru has to offer us before things get⌠started.â Spencer said, leaving her words at that as she followed Ashley over to the hotel- the grand hotel- five stars⌠that the two had been hacked with the help of their savvy tech back in the united states to stay in- in order to survey and watch the actions of their target, Assan Oman⌠who was to meet a man to discuss the sale of some very serious and deadly weapons⌠of who Ashley did not know but would soon find out to be her father, Amir⌠who had been alive the entire time, who she thought to be dead but would soon would find out never died at all but had to fake his death in order to protect his family and to go undercover, etc. of which Ashley removed the sunglasses from over her eyes down onto her face as she walked into the hotel and over to the counter with a fake smile to the woman behind it.
âCan I help you?â The woman asked with a not so impressed look to both Ashley and Spencer of which Ashley c*cked her head to the side and gave some of the same look back to the other woman as she placed her bag on top of the counter only to blow into a bubble and purposely pop the gum that had been inside of her mouth. âDiana Barnes, and Amelia Price, checking in.â Ashley stated though had felt a hand to her arm which caused her to look at Spencer. âOur target⌠your nine oâ clock.â Spencer whispered to her to which Ashley turned her attention in the direction that the blonde had told her only to smirk wickedly when she had seen Assan Oman walk through the lobby- headed to the elevator. âHere you are.â The woman behind the counter spoke out and handed Ashley a key card to which Ashley forced another fake smile to the woman where she grabbed her bag and followed Spencer over to the elevator just as the doors closed shut after Assan had stepped inside. âSh*tâŚâ Ashley spat out as she pushed the button and turned on the hidden earpiece in her ear with a wave of her hand. Not seen with the naked eye unless specifically looked for. âWe found our target and it looks as though he stopped on the third floor. I am going to need you to work your magic your sexiness.â Ashley called the other man who chuckled as he began to work- typing away on his computer. A man, Kevin Ritter who was the lead tech- and made all the gadgets, cameras, etc. that both women along with all the other agents used on their missions as he winked at the woman beside him back at SD-9 in the united states. âComing right up Dirty Diana.â He said back to Diana who rolled her eyes. âDirty DianaâŚ.? What did I tell you about that?â Ashley spat out, âSorry⌠it just happens to be my favorite song and you my favorite woman and well⌠considering your alias is actually this time the first name Diana, I couldnât help myself so tell me sexy legs⌠what do you need?â Kevin said and asked as this caused Spencer to raise a brow. âCareful there, Casanova⌠this is my girlfriend you are talking about.â Spencer stated with a wink to Ashley who smiled back at her as the elevator stopped on the third floor.
âI need you to hack into the key system software and hack it to where this key card will work for the door next to Assanâs which I believe to be empty.â Ashley instructed as she walked out of the elevator with Spencer and made her way down the hall- following behind Assan but not any way he would notice to be suspicious as she stopped at the door next to his room only to look to the other man with a fake smile and nod. âAlright⌠coming right up.â Kevin spat out as Ashley cleared her throat. âOkay⌠try it.â Kevin said and Ashley taking the key card slid it down into the slot only for the card to beep- turn red and not open as this caused Ashley to sigh. âStrike one.â She mumbled, to which Kevin cursed under his breath and continued to try and hack the system as Assan turned his attention in both the womenâs direction with a raised brow. âStupid card doesnât want to work.â Ashley said to him with a chuckle to which Assan turned away from her. âOkay⌠try it again.â Kevin called out to her and again Ashley tried to open the door with the key card but to no avail. âStupid idiotic thing.â Ashley scowled, signaling to Kevin that it did not work as this caused Kevin to groan in disapproval. âSomeone is getting suspicious.â Spencer whispered to Ashley though kissed her neck to cover them so to speak when the blonde had seen Assan turn to them yet again with a suspicious look. âDamn, itâŚâ Ashley spat out. âNowâŚâ Kevin called out and Ashley tried it for the third time only to sigh in relief when the door had turned green and the door had unlocked to which Ashley opened the door with another fake chuckle. âLike I said⌠stupid idiotic thing.â Ashley said back to Assan as she walked into the room and slammed the door shut though only after Spencer had followed her inside. âThat was close, Kevin.â Ashley spoke through gritted teeth. âIâll check back in later.â Ashley said, only after Kevin had told her that once they turned everything on, etc. the two should be able to hear everything that was going on with Assan from the room next door. His conversation, movements⌠etc. as Ashley waved her hand. âGotcha.â She spoke before the mic turned off and she went radio silent as it was called.
âLetâs do this.â Spencer told Ashley with a grin and the two women quickly worked to get everything set up and once both women had finished, Ashley turned on what she needed to which she grinned when she⌠like Kevin had said⌠could hear and see everything from her laptop of what was going on inside the other room with Assan who was currently on the phone. âToo bad heâs a major d*ck⌠because, damn⌠heâs hot.â Spencer stated with a quick look from Ashley which caused her to shrug. âJust saying.â Spencer muttered as Ashley sat down on the bed. âI will meet you at the local diner down the street at five oâ clock⌠until thenâŚâ Assan said into his phone where he pressed a button ending the call only for Ashley to raise a brow. âWhy couldnât you give us a name and tell us who you were meeting you prick.â Ashley spat out only to sigh as she stood to her feet and pulled out a bathing suit when she overheard Assan mention that he was going down to the pool. âCare for a quick swim?â Ashley said to her girlfriend only to wink as she got undressed and placed the bathing suit over her body along with a long see-through shirt that went with it⌠stretching down to her legs as Spencer grinned and gave a nod as she followed suit and did the same as both women stepped out of the hotel room and made their way down the hallway- down to the lobby and out the door over to the pool as Ashley gave a quick look to Assan who sat in one of the lounge chairs as she walked by to where she sat down in one of the lounge chairs across from him with a quick grin to Spencer and a kiss to the blondeâs lips. âWould you like to do the honors or shall I?â Ashley asked only for Spencer to shrug. âYou do the honors, babe⌠this is your playground and what you are best at and were I to be completely honest I do love to watch you work⌠so work it⌠you sexy⌠fine as hell⌠badass, bitch.â Spencer stated with a wink to Ashley who chuckled and stood to her feet where she pulled the shirt up over her shoulders and head, letting it fall onto the lounge chair as the very skimpy bathing suit hugged her curves in all the right ways. âAnd that is why I love you.â Ashley said in return as she leaned down and kissed the other woman passionately only to walk away from Spencer with a playful shake of her ass in front of her to where Ashley stepped down the steps of the pool only to dive underneath the water where she swam over to the other side, the deep end only to come up from underneath the water as she gave a quick wink and wave to Spencer.
After a few minutes Ashley grabbed hold of the both the rails to the steps as she walked up them and stepped out of the pool and down onto the concrete as she flashed a seductive smile to Assan where she slowly made her way over to where he was sat at⌠only to lean across him. âDo excuse me.â She said as she grabbed the towel from behind him which had been placed on a table along with a couple more towels to which she waved her hand over her hair and suddenly the contents⌠microphone, etc. had been copied and onto her phone to which she waved her hand back only to move away from Assan as she slowly wrapped the towel around her body and rinsed her hair out by squeezing it. âThanks.â She said to the older man with a wink as she walked away from him who scanned over her entire body; having enjoyed the view greatly and with Ashley knowing this which caused her to smile in accomplishment to which she made her way back over to Spencer and sat down beside her. âYou go girl.â Spencer told her only to chuckle as she leaned back against the chair as Ashley pulled out her phone when Assan had grabbed his in order for the man to make a call back to the mystery man he was to meet up with and Ashley simply pressed a button and placed her own phone to her ear as though she had called someone as well⌠though did so to listen in on the other manâs conversation. The other man on the other end of the line⌠Ashley couldnât quite place it⌠but that voice was awfully familiar to her. âChange of plans⌠meet me at the diner in one hour⌠I am headed there now.â Assan told the man who again⌠was to be Amir⌠only for Assan to end the call to which he stood to his feet⌠placed the phone inside his jacket pocket as he walked past the women and out of the pool area in order to go and meet the other man as Ashley waited ten minutes before she had stood to her feet and tossed the towel to Spencer. âLetâs blow this joint.â Ashley spat out only to walk out of the pool area and back to her hotel room where she went inside and got redressed in a fresh change of clothes along with Spencer- to where not long after both women left the hotel and proceeded to make their way down the dirt road- headed to the diner.

Flashback: two days before Amirâs ( ââŚDeathâŚâ ) Mary Stuart stood downstairs⌠down in the basement where the laundry room was, sorting out clothes. Those that were dry she folded and placed in the basket and ones that were wet she tossed into the dryer and those yet to be washed, she placed them inside the washer and pushed the button for the clothes to be washed and dried only to raise a brow when she had felt strong arms around her waist from behind and smelled that all too familiar scent coming from the man behind her to which caused her to smile. âYou smell good.â Amir breathed out against her ear as this caused Mary to develop quite the smirk across her face. âAnd here; I was about to say the exact same thing to you.â Mary said back to him in return only to let out a quick breath when she came to feel his lips against her ear to which he kissed before he had moved them to her neck to which he had kissed as well only to move her hair back and to the other side which caused shivers to rush throughout her. No matter how long the two had been together⌠how many years⌠the man who was her husband continued to have that same effect. âWhat are you doing?â She asked in a playful tone as this caused Amir to smirk against her neck. âI do believe I am trying to get laid over here.â Amir told her and Mary couldnât help but to laugh at this before she had turned around to face him only to smile at the other man as she wrapped both arms around his neck. âI do love it when you talk dirty to me, Mr. Al-Raisani.â Mary mused, causing both to chuckle this time as Amir leaned over and planted a quick though sweet kiss to her lips. âI can definitely do that and a whole lot more, Mrs. Al-Raisani.â Amir retorted only for Mary to grin at this as she placed a hand to his chest. âThen perhaps you ought to prove it.â Mary said what she did in what was a playful challenge to him it could be said to which Amir had given her a wicked grin in return followed by a pure look of desire as he moved her back and against the washing machine. âOh, love⌠never challenge a man with my particular set of skills in the art of seduction to ever prove anything⌠seeing as I can definitely carry such a thing⌠out.â Amir breathed out what he did as he brushed his lips against hers as this caused Mary to look back at him with her own intense look. âMaybe that was the idea.â She simply spoke out only to kiss him passionately afterwards to which Amir had done the same as he wrapped both arms around her body again and pulled her even closer to⌠and against him.
Mary wasted no time as she reached over and removed the shirt, he had on from up over his shoulders to which she let fall to the floor beside them as Amir reached over and pulled her own shirt up and over her shoulders and headâŚ. Off her body as he also let the item of clothing fall to the floor. Mary in turn reached over and unfastened the jeans he had on- pushing them down and off his body as far as she could get to which Amir simply kicked out of the jeans only to be left completely naked now to where he looked to her with a very wicked grin only to lean over and plant a trail of slow and seductive kisses on her chest- over the bra she still wore which caused Mary to let out a heavy breath only to bite her lip as Amir kissed down her stomach next to which he reached over and unfastened her jeans only to slide them down her body to where he got down on his knees to do so as he looked up at Mary with a very intense- seductive look only to begin his kisses to both her thighs- inner thighs to be exact as this caused Mary to let out a gasp from the pleasurable sensations which already coursed throughout her body only to close her eyes for the moment as Amir then planted his lips to the top of her underwear which he planted another trail of slow⌠and seductive kisses on as he slowly pulled her underwear down her legs and to the floor to which Mary wasted no time to step out of as she looked down at Amir with a dark look of pure desire⌠a look which had been shared by the other man who had kissed back up her body only to reach over and pull the bra down over her breasts- kissing each of her breasts as he unclasped the bra from behind her to which he let fall to the floor as Mary couldnât help but to breathe out a moan only to kiss him passionately again when his lips finally met hers to which she faked a pout. âSuch a tease.â She purred against his lips as this caused Amir to kiss her lips, then her jawline and up her neck- back to her ear. âOh⌠but I am only getting started. Who doesnât love a good bit of foreplay after all,â Amir said in a seductive tone against her ear which caused Mary to shiver once again as immediate goosebumps formed along her skin,â Y-You are the e-expert,â Mary breathed out only for Amir to smirk at this as he picked her up and set her down on the washing machine in front of him which he moved to be in between both her legs of which she moved apart for him without a second thought. âNow who is the one talking filthy to the other?â Amir spat out as this caused Mary to burst out laughing. âWhat?â Amir spoke out, âItâs talk dirty, not filthy, smooth talker.â Mary mused against his lips as this caused Amir to raise a brow. âDid I not say that?â He mused right back. âNo, you did not.â Mary said with a wink to him only for Amir to chuckle this time and shrug. âFilthy⌠dirty⌠same thing.â He spat out only to kiss her quickly on the lips as he grabbed both her legs and pulled her closer to⌠and against him which caused Maryâs breath to catch in her throat. âJust hurry⌠before I start to get bored over here.â Mary chimed playfully. âNow⌠now⌠patience is a virtue.â Amir said with a simple kiss to her neck.
As Mary heard this- reached over and grabbed hold of the necklace around his neck only to pull him closer to her where she brushed her lips against his. âWhen it comes to you⌠and this. I lost my patience years ago.â Mary spat out to which Amir chuckled. âGood to know. Right back at you⌠beautiful⌠sexy⌠goddess⌠of mineâŚâ Amir spoke out between each word only to plant kisses to her neck again, nipping down where he left a love mark along it. âYouâre already getting what you want no need to sweet talk any further.â Mary stated in a playful tone only to grin as she kissed his lips. âSomething has occurred to me, however⌠I donât think we ever done it down here before.â Mary spat out, meaning sex down in the basement- in the laundry room as this caused Amir to grin wickedly. âMaybe so⌠but it is the only place in the house we havenât left our⌠mark⌠on so to speak, so what better time to do it then right now.â Amir said only to kiss her again- though passionately this time only for Mary to kiss him passionately in return only for Amir to break the kiss about a minute later to stare deeply into the dark-haired womanâs eyes as he ran a hand through her hair in a loving manner with a look to match. He knew that this mission he would not be coming back, and it took everything deep inside of him to hold it together as he swallowed hard though forced a smile to try and act as though nothing was wrong as he kissed the top of her head- then cheek as he looked to her once more. He loved her more than any woman⌠and anything in the world that he ever knew⌠came to know⌠had knownâŚ. As Mary had seen this only to look to him with a smile. âWhat is the matter?â She asked, âNothing⌠itâs just that⌠even now⌠you seem to have grown more beautiful and I just⌠you are amazing, and I love you⌠never forget or doubt that for one second⌠one moment no matter what happens.â Amir told her as this caused Mary to raise a curious brow. âAgain with the sweetâŚâ Mary had began to say but had been interrupted only to let out moan from the sheer pleasure that rushed throughout her entire body when he had suddenly gripped her leg only to place it around him where he entered himself inside of her in a passionate manner to where Mary simply placed her remaining leg around his waist- sliding it up his back as this caused Amir to thrust inside of her even deeper which caused Mary to let out a breathless gasp-filled moan in the process to which caused Amir to begin his movements faster and harder inside of her only to press against her spot in a continuous manner a few minutes later as this caused surges of heat to fill her entire body as though it was on fire from the core- inside out as Mary kissed him passionately as a result.
Amir after some time had passed gripped hold of Mary and picked her up from the washing machine where he made his way over to the wall beside both machines only to place her against it⌠pushing inside of her again as he lifted her further up into the air for better access as this caused Mary to moan once again and Amir to groan in sheer pleasure as he took one hand and moved her hair from out of her face as Mary let out a quick breath only to grip his back. âThe places you take me.â She muttered playfully as this caused Amir to grin wickedly. âAh, yes; from the washing machine, to the wall⌠I aim to please, milady.â Amir retorted even more playfully as this caused Mary to chuckle. âThat you do.â She breathed out as she kissed him passionately again only to dig her nails into his back in a passionate manner when he had moved all but the tip of him out of her only to thrust deep inside of her after a few moments; pressing against her spot again, immediately⌠and continuously yet again as he let out another groan from the pleasurable sensations, he had gotten from it. âOh⌠my godâŚâ Mary breathed out. âDonât you mean⌠oh, my AmirâŚâ Amir spat back which caused Mary to laugh though moaned once again when he managed to push inside of her even deeper as he began to suckle and kiss along each breast- leaving a love mark on each one. âTouchĂŠ.â Had been the only thing that Mary could say to the comment that he had just made as she dug her nails into his back even deeper while feeling her walls starting to throb and tighten around him more and more with each, and every move that he made where she had reached her peak a few minutes later⌠as Amir did the same.
âSex games down in the basement- in the laundry room and you didnât invite us.â Connor Mulder spat out to which caused Mary to look with wide eyes. âSeriouslyâŚâ Had been the only thing that she managed to say as this caused Amir to clear his throat only to set her down on the floor where he let out a much-needed breath as he moved back away from her to which he raised a curious brow to Connor and Gabriela Booth, both; though his looked turned to one of annoyance. âPlease donât stop what you were doing on our account.â Connor continued his teasing words as this caused Amir to finally develop quite the smirk across his face as Mary simply reached over and grabbed her clothes⌠her jeans and shirt along with her bra and underwear only to get dressed as Connor chuckled at this only to wrap an arm around Gabbyâs shoulder. âHow come you and I have never done it in the laundry room yet?â Connor asked what he did in a playful tone only to wink at his long-time girlfriend before he had turned his attention back on the married couple in front of them.
Two days passed and Mary as she walked throughout the ass could feel in the pit of her stomach- throughout her very soul⌠her very essence that something was wrong. Then came the knock on the door which caused her breath to catch in her throat and her heart to feel as though it had stopped only to shakily make her way over to the door and moving the small curtain back to look out the window saw the man⌠her former flame⌠commander⌠her ex- boyfriend, Adam Dalton⌠standing out the door. âMary⌠I need you to open the door. Please.â Adam urged her as this caused Mary to swallow hard though opened the door only to take a step back to allow Dalton to enter who looked at her with a heartbreaking expression. âWhat is it?â Mary struggled to ask the words and the look on the other manâs face told her all she needed to know. âAmir⌠he⌠there was a bombâŚ. AndâŚâ And before Dalton could finish his words Mary shook her head as immediate tears stung her eyes. âN-NoâŚâ She said in almost a mumble- her words breaking. âI am so⌠sorry. There was nothing I⌠we⌠I didnât⌠no one could have known. IâŚâ Before Dalton could finish the rest of his sentence Mary had broke down completelyâŚ. Letting out a heart- wrenching scream only to slide down the wall, falling to the floor in front of the door. âHe is not dead⌠he canât be dead⌠youâre a liar⌠you are lyingâŚ. Heâs not dead.â Mary cried out; only to start crying heavily- uncontrollably now as this caused Dalton to walk into the house where he leaned down in front of her to place a comforting hand to her arm to which Mary glared at him. âDonât touch me.â She hissed, âYou were supposed to keep him safeâŚ. you were supposed to protect him, and you failed⌠you failed⌠so go⌠leave⌠get out⌠what kind of soldier⌠kind of leader are you⌠just leave.â Mary yelled out towards him as this caused Dalton to swallow hard and feel as though a knife was twisted straight into his heart as he placed a hand to the side of her face. âIâm sorry.â He simply muttered only to stand to his feet where he smiled at the eleven-year-old Ashley Al-Raisani who was standing outside of the kitchen along the archway of the door. âWhatâs wrong with daddy?â The little girl had asked only for Mary to come to her senses for the moment where she quickly stood to her feet. âItâs okay my baby.â Mary said as she reached over and smiled at her daughter only to hug her. âIs daddy coming home?â Ashley asked, which caused Mary to hug the child even tighter as the scene faded to black. End of flashback. Â
-----The Present: Storybrooke, Maine: Eight Years Later-----
âStrong muscles. Is that all you got?âJax said what he did to Gabby, with quite the amused expression across his face. âI mean, you could have at least said, dimples; or, hot bike rider, or something.â Jax said with a wink to Gabby as he gave a look to Mary, and Amir; before starting to lead the way, with Gabby, over to the front entrance of Grannyâs diner. âYeah, I donât much like suits. Or anything dressing up, so to speak; but, Mary, here; wouldnât shut up about it. She said, and I quote, that I needed to make a good impression when it comes to you. So, here I am, though she might have gotten the shirt, and the tie from me; there was no way in hell she was getting me not to wear the jeans. Got to keep the jeans, darling.â Jax tells her as he looked to her with what was now a very mischievous grin. âSweetheartâŚ, you can take a ride on my bike anytime that you feel like it.â Jax tells her, to which Mary canât help but to roll her eyes. âOh, good lord.â Mary mumbles, âWhat was that?â Jax spats back, causing Mary to turn around, and face him. âIs that the best pickup line you got, big brother? Because, if it is, I hate to break it to you, it completely sucks. And, Iâm thinking that Gabby would agree with me on this.â Mary says, giving a quick wink to Gabby, before looking back to Jax with an innocent look.
Causing Jax to roll his eyes once again. âYeah, yeah; mind your business, little girl; and go and play with your new friend, Olaf! Gabby and IâŚ, we got this.â Jax states, causing Mary to laugh. âHis name is Amir.â And, saying nothing else, she had turned her attention back to Amir, smiling at him as she placed her arm through his. âShall we, Olaf?â And, Mary having said what she did to Amir, having called him what Jax had called him just a few seconds ago, though she did so playfully; couldnât help but to laugh again as she walked into the diner with Amir, sitting down next to him. With Gabby, who was sitting at the end of the long booth, with Jax next to, Gabby; Mary next to Jax, and Amir next to her, causing Mary to look at Amir, blushing somewhat, before grabbing hold of the menu and beginning to look through it, in order to try and figure out what she wanted to eat.Â
âSo, what does everyone want to eat?â Mary asked nonchalantly, only to set the menu down, and grab a glass of water that was already set down on the table in front of them, by Ruby; right before the two couples had set down, themselves; before Ruby had walked away, back over to the counter, telling them that she would be back in a few minutes to take their orders for their meal, after Mary had ordered a Tea to drink. And, Jax, a Sprite. Anyhow, Mary had grabbed the glass of water, starting to drink it, while trying to ignore the feel of the eyes on her, from the man beside her, who wasnât her brother, as she let out a nervous breath. Only after having set the glass of water back down.
When Amir had grabbed hold of her hand, and say what he did to her, Mary looked back at him with quite the flustered look; her heart starting to race furiously inside of her chest, the more she looked at him; or, better yet, the more he looked at her as she let out a much needed breath. âUh. no; of course not.â She was quick to say as she pulled her hand away from his, only to end up hitting Jax across the face with the back of her hand, and the glass of water out of his hand, by accident, that he had just taken a drink from, which had fallen onto his lap as a result. The water spilling out, everywhere. âMary, what the hell?â Jax cried out, causing Mary to look with wide eyes. âOh, my god; I am so sorry.â Was all Mary could say for the moment. âWhat the hell are you doing?â Jax retorted, only to look at Amir with a raised brow. âIâm going to need you to calm down those hands of yours, and whatever the hell you say; if sheâs going to give this type of reaction every damn time.â Jax revealed sarcastically, causing Mary to chuckle somewhat, before becoming serious.Â
âOh, come on you big babyâŚ, I didnât hit you that hard.â Mary spat back, âThe hell you didnât. You could have broken my nose, woman!â Jax scoffed, as Mary looked to him with quite the amused smirk. âWho knows, if I had, it could have been quite the improvement.â Mary remarked, causing Jax to roll his eyes. âHa, ha, very funny! You're quite comical. Anyone ever told you that?âJax scowls, as Mary gives a shrug. âMaybeâŚ,â She simply states, only to turn her attention to Ruby, who had just walked up.âDude, you look as though you pissed yourself. What happened?â Ruby mused, as she looked to Jax, causing Mary to laugh.Â
âSeriously, Ruby; you too?â Jax spat, only to stand to his feet. âIâll be right back. Iâm going to go and try to dry myself off, somehow.â Jax muttered in a colorful manner, only to step past Amir, and Mary, both; before walking away and over to the menâs bathroom, where he went inside. âDamn, where have you been hiding him?â Ruby said with a smirk, meaning Amir, as she looked at him. And, Mary hearing this, couldnât help but to laugh. âUh, yeah; um, RubyâŚ, this is Amir! Amir, this is Ruby, my, uh, RubyâŚ.,â Mary said the words, only to give a what the f*** look in return, though had she said, âthis is Ruby, my daughterâ she wasnât sure how the other man would have taken it, considering Mary and Ruby, looked around the same age.Â
âNice to meet you, Amir!â Ruby says with a wink. âMary, here; she hasnât been laid in a very and I do mean, very long time. Well, besides getting it from Gabby here, I mean. What Iâm trying to say is, she hasnât gotten laid by a man sinceâŚ, well, I canât remember; and, letâs just say she is definitely in need of a hot manâs touch, and well their penis, if you catch my drift; from a dark, and mysterious, gorgeous, and very damn hot, I have to add, if I do say so, myself. And, you, my friend, could definitely be that very same man. You just might be able to get the job done, again; if you know what I mean.â Ruby tells Amir, only for Mary to look with wide eyes as she was completely embarrassed now. âSeriously, Ruby; thatâs enough.â Mary spat back, feeling her cheeks burning red hot again as she slinked down into the booth a bit. âOh, please,â Ruby began her words as she looked to Gabby with a smirk. âSo, would you guys like for me to come back when Jax gets back to the table, to take your orders, all at the same time?â Ruby asks, while having given a quick wink to Gabby. âYeah, I think Iâll do that. Iâll be right back.â Ruby, saying what she does, looks back to Amir once more, before walking closer to him, âYou didnât hear this from me; but, Mary here, has a weak spot along her neck, right hereâŚ,â Ruby said, placing a finger to Amirâs neck, âOn the right side,â Ruby mused, âOh, and another weak spot, along her upper thigh, right before you get to the...,â And, Ruby, before she could finish her sentence, Laughed when the older woman had grabbed hold of the table setting that was to be used as a napkin, and threw the cloth directly at Ruby, as she ducked out of the way, only to look at Mary with a shrug. âWhat...,? Thatâs what you get for me having to sit through all of Gabbyâs sex stories of the two of you.â Ruby retorts, looking to Amir, and giving a thumbs up, which was actually an âokayâ sign. âRemember what I saidâŚ,â She whispered to him, before having walked away, and over to where Granny was standing behind the counter.Â
Mary, after a few moments of having been sitting there in silence, cleared her throat once more as she looked to Amir. âDonât take anything she says seriously.â Mary tells him, only for her breath to catch in her throat when getting a strong smell of the cologne that he was wearing; or, she thought that he was wearing. Damn, he smelled good. Ridiculously good at that, as she began to tap her fingers on the table, trying to ignore all the thoughts and sensations that were rushing through her like wildfire, and what Ruby had told him, didnât help. âWhat kind of cologne are you wearing if you donât mind me asking.â Mary had blurted out, for whatever reason she didnât know. And, having been told that he wasnât wearing any cologne, gave a dumbfounded look. âSoâŚ, you're saying that you naturally smell that good? Thereâs no way!â And, Mary having blurted out what she did, yet again, looks with wide eyes, only to not finish the rest of her sentence.
âI mean, uh, did I just say that out loud.â Mary said with a chuckle, not knowing what the hell was wrong with her all of a sudden, as she grabbed the glass of water , and began drinking it. âIs it hot in here, or is it only me?â Mary said, only to laugh nervously once again, letting out a much needed breath , as she looked in the direction ahead of her. âI wonder what is taking that brother of mine, so long!â Mary mumbled, only to become silent for the moment.
Meanwhile, Aphrodite, who had been hidden from view, to where no one could see her, except for a god, or goddess, had zapped Mary with a truth spell, which caused Mary to blurt out everything that she was thinking, and feeling about Amir; caused the blonde bombshell to let out a proud, accomplished giggle, as she saw that it had been working quite wonderfully. âOh, I am so bad; but, oh so good at the same time.â She said with amusement, only to let out a scream, when a familiar presence had appeared beside her all of a sudden, looking to the other woman with a shrug. âWhat? I didnât put a love spell on anyone. Not this time, anyway! I just decided to make our favorite Queen over there, her natural thoughts come out. And, if you're feeling the spark that Iâm feeling from the two of them, all the way over here, Mary and Amir, that is; they donât need a love spell. Those two will end up in bed together by the end of the night. Along with Jax, and Gabby. Oooo, letâs make a wager, can we please? On, who will break first. What do you say?â Aphrodite said with a giggle only to grin.Â
-----The Past: Daltonâs Unit: The barracks: Argentina-----
Hearing everything that his sister had said to him, Dalton had just let out a sigh. âLook, gabby, no offense, or anything; but, i really donât need you biting my head off right now.â Dalton spats, shaking his head as he gives her an annoyed look. âI know that. I know what, and who she lost, and what Acacia meant to her; but, do you honestly think that she would have wanted Mary to die as a result of Maryâs need for revenge? She could have blown the entire mission, and we really wouldnât have gotten him, now would we?! And, we would be right back toâŚ, not square one; but, zero!â Dalton stated, as he crossed both arms over his chest. âWhile she may have been right, as her commanding officer, and yours, might I remind you; and, the leader over this entire unit, with all your lives in my hands, I canât sit here and codone what she did; or, play favorites, while she strictly disobeyed an order to stand down.â Dalton remarked, sighing once more. âNever mind.â he mumbled, only to sit down in the chair that was set in front of his desk.
âNothingâs wrong.â Dalton huffs, when Gabby had asked him. âEverythingâs just great.â He then retorted, only to look at Gabby with a hurt expression. âOther than the fact that she just broke up with me for no real reason, everything is just peachy!â Dalton snapped, only to roll his eyes. âWell, if you didnât know we are together, you do nowâŚ, excuse me, we're together.â
âI guess at the end of the day, when it all comes down to it, I canât compare to the great Joseph Maguire.â Dalton states in a jealous tone, only to let out a frustrated breath as he rubbed his head. âGuess sheâll be free now to rush back into his arms! Who knows, maybe thatâs what sheâs been wanting all along, and was only waiting for the right moment, and right excuse, to push me to the side.â Dalton says out loud, instead of having said what he did in his head. âIf your done giving me a lecture, now. You can leave.â Dalton tells her, without saying anything more at the moment. It was only until he heard Gabbyâs phone start ringing that he gave her a look. Only to get a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach all of a sudden.Â
When having seen her reaction; this caused Dalton to stand on his feet. âWho was that? Whatâs going on?â Dalton asks her, only for Gabby to ignore his questions, completely. âDamn it, Gabby; whatâs going on?!â He asked again, becoming even more worried now. And, having heard what she said last, and having watched as she left his office, entirely; mumbles colorfully under his breath as he sits back down in his chair. At least for the moment. However, after a few minutes, he stands to his feet, once again. âF*** it,â Was all he could say before making his way out of his office, and out of the door, out of the building; headed to where he had a feeling that something was not quite right at. Which was in fact, the womenâs barracks.
âNow youâve been f***ed by two of us in this unit.â Joshâs words echoed throughout her, as Mary slid down the wall of the shower, and wrapped both arms around her knees, as she was just sitting there, completely numb; hugging herself. True she had been raped, and in this position, before, in the past; but, it didnât hurt any less, even if the last time what happened to her had been many decades ago. And, what had just happened, had brought everything rushing back to the surface. âExcuse me, four of us! Considering you and Miss Booth have currently been getting hot under the sheets as well. And, I nearly-almost forgot about Maguire. The always devoted, noble, and faithful, Maguire. The two of you were f***ing way before you ever looked in Daltonâs direction. Maybe had good ole Joe hadnât decided to kill yallâs unborn child, and f*** up what you had goingâŚ, he could have gotten the girl, well kept the girl, i mean.â Joshâs words continued to hit her hard, as tears fell from Maryâs eyes as she tried not to think about the child she had lost, much less anything else. Only to let out a much needed breath about a minute, or two, later.Â
âDamn, girl; what a little slut you are! Tell me somethingâŚ, are you f***ing Preach as well?â Mary continued to hear Joshâs words inside her head, while being unaware of anything else that was going on around her. That was, until she had been broken out of her thoughts by the all too familiar man, now in front of her. Feeling his jacket wrap around her, Mary couldnât help but to flinch at first, as a result, but that was soothed by the calming tone in his voice, telling herâŚ, âyour safe now,â and she believed it. Had it come from anyone else at that moment, she might not have. Which caused her to look up at him, finally meeting his eyes, as she looked at him, with pure sadness.
The man, being Joseph Maguire. As she looked at him, with a weak smile. This man who had been her oldest, and longest friend, that she had throughout the centuries, the only other person who could claim this title, being his half sister, Acacia Fielding. The man who had been her best friend, like Acacia had been, and her lover, on and off, much like Acacia had been as well. Who, no matter where she was, or who she was with, and even when the two werenât together in the romantic sense, always found their way back to each other, and stayed by each otherâs side, as much as the two could. She, Acacia, and Maguire had been completely inseparable, you could say. This man, who though they werenât currently together, she still loved very deeply, and always would.Â
âJoeâŚ,â Mary said in a soft, quiet tone. âMy JoeâŚ,â She mumbled, though loud enough to where he could hear, as she placed a hand to his face for the moment, before looking to the ground in tears. âI canât moveâŚ,â She stated, still feeling completely paralyzed, only to look back up at him, as she wrapped both arms around his neck, holding on to him as she placed her head against his shoulder. Once she had been taken over to her bed, had moved to the middle of it, where she once again had wrapped both arms around her knees.Â
When she heard him mention Dalton, she looked up at him with what was a cold, and wide eyed look at the same time, without meaning to of course, only for her face to soften as she swallowed hard. âWh-why does anyone else have to know? Besides, you and me?â Mary came to mumble. When he had mentioned Gabby, and Jaz, caused her to shrug. âDo what you think is best. I donât care.â Mary said what she did in a low tone, only to bury her face in her knees as she hugged herself even tighter.Â
Once Gabby had entered the barracks, raised her head up to look at the other woman with tears in her eyes. âIâŚ, It doesnât matter who he is. Heâll just get away with it.â Mary stuttered over her words. âI⌠I canât. Heâll hurt you. All of you if I say anything.â Mary confesses, only to shake her head. âItâs not like this hasnât happened before. Can we just forget it ever happened?!â Mary mumbled, only to look with wide eyes when Jaz, and Preach, had entered the room. She hadnât wanted anyone else to find out; but, oh well, is all she could think, as she looked away from the both of them.Â
âWhat the f*** happened?â Preach has blurted out, beyond pissed, knowing instantly that something was wrong, and had happened, due to the way Mary was looking along with everyone else inside of the room. He had not been one to cuss on a normal basis, or anything along those lines; but, these werenât normal circumstances, and he couldnât help but having done so.âMamaâŚ,â Was all Jaz had said, who only called the other woman, âmamaâ in front of everyone, only when she was feeling very vulnerable, or extremely upset by something. Other then that, she simply called her âMaryâ even if it sounded ridiculous for a child to call their mother by their actual name. But, Jaz had done so out of respect for the unit, if that made sense.Â
And, Jaz, making her way over to Mary, reached over and hugged her mother, as she tried to console her as best she could. âWh-who did this to you?â She asked, as she looked at Mary. âPlease, tell us.â Jaz spoke in a gentle tone, only for Mary to look away from her. âOkay, thatâs fine. You donât have to say anything right now. Weâll all just sit here with you, alright? For as long as you need us to.â Jaz tells Mary, who still remains silent. âLetâs get some clothes put on you. What do you say?â Jaz suggests to Mary, as she looks to Gabby, next; nodding to the other woman. âWould you mind leaving us for a moment, boys?â Jaz says to both Preach, and Maguire; not really knowing if Maguire was paying attention to her at the moment, as she turned from him, back to Preach. As this caused Preach to nod. âIâll be right outside if anyone needs me.â Preach stated, only to walk outside of the barracks, and lean up against the door. He would be damned if he was going to go anywhere else at the moment. Mainly doing so to keep a watch, just in case the sick bastard who attacked Mary, were to try and come back.Â
Jaz, having helped Mary off of the bed, and to stand to her feet as Mary was hesitant to get up to begin with, smiled at her mother as she made her way over towards the closet where mary kept her civilian clothes, while not on duty, so to speak; and, Jaz; having seen that Maguire had not left yet, sighs. âThat means you as well, Maguire. Once weâve gotten her put together, you can come back inside. Donât worry we wonât let anything happen to her the two minutes that she is out of your sight.â Jaz tells Maguire, knowing the history that the two shared as well as knowing that he was very protective over Mary, and at times, very overprotective of her, though kept those thoughts to herself, only to look at him, once more. âOut, misterâŚ,â She said in a demanding tone, only for Mary to reach over and grab hold of Maguireâs hand, only to place her arm through his, letting her hand rest on the top of his arm, above his wrist. âNoâŚ,â Was all she had said, causing Jaz to give a nod. Mary wasnât purposely trying to be, or seeming to be cold towards the other two women, things were just coming out that way. He was the one person that she trusted the most, and felt the need for him to be there. âThatâs fine. He can stay. No problem.â Jaz, tells Mary as she looks to Maguire. âI guess you're staying.â she mumbles, before making her way over to Maryâs closet, pulling something out for her to wear.Â
âHow about this?â Jaz says, to which Mary gives a nod. âOkay, good.â Jaz says as she reaches over to try and help take Maguireâs jacket off of Mary, which was still wrapped around her, only for Mary to take a step back, and wrap the jacket tighter around her, causing Jaz to chuckle somewhat, but, quickly clears her throat as she looks to Maguire. âI donât think you're getting that back anytime soon.â Jaz says, before reaching over, trying to place the pants she grabbed for Mary, on her; causing Mary to let out an annoyed breath. âI can do it. You donât have to treat me with kid glovesâŚ,â Mary says as she takes the pants from Jaz, and places them on. To which Jaz had given Mary an understanding smile in return, âThank, you,â Mary had said, âYou never have to thank me,â Jaz says back to her, as she tucks a strand of Marys hair, behind the womanâs ear.Â
âI know I already said this, and Iâm just going to sound like a broken record once again; but, please, mama; tell us who did this to you.â Jaz says in a pleading voice, before looking to Maguire, giving him a look as if to tell him to help her with trying to get Mary to tell them who this person was. After, about another minute, or two; Mary finally let out a shaky breath. âIt...it was someone in this unit. Though, it wasnât Dalton, or any of the other men, currently in here.â Mary tells them, having meant Maguire, and Preach, obviously; as Preach had come back inside of the barracks. âWho was it then?â Preach asks, âWas it DavidâŚ, GregâŚ?â Preach begins to call out names, âWas it, Charles?â
âWell, itâs not any of them.â Jaz mutters, âThereâs only one other person it could be.â Jaz, continues her words, as she looks to Gabby, Maguire, and Preach, all at the same time, wondering if her team was thinking the same thing that she was thinking. âWas it Josh Carter?â Preach says the name in a bit of a cold hiss, only for Mary to look Preach dead in the eyes, as a result, at the mere mention of the manâs name. And, as she had been about to give them all an answer; that was when Josh had walked into the barracks, causing Maryâs breath to drop completely as she became frozen to the spot, at that moment. âWhatâs going on?â Josh asks in an innocent tone, as he looks to Mary. âMary, are you okay? Jesus, what happened?â Josh asks, keeping his eyes on Mary as though daring her to say anything as this caused Jaz to look at the other man with a cold expression, not having trusted him, or liking the feeling she got from him, whenever he was around since the day he had joined the unit. âMary was attacked. You wouldnât know anything about that, would you, Josh? I mean, you didnât hear, or see anything out of the ordinary did you?â Jaz asks Josh, who shakes his head. âNo, nothing.â He had only come to say for the moment.Â
âShe was just about to tell us who it was that did this to her.â Preach says, looking at Mary. âWho was it, Mary? Remember, we are all here with you. No one is going to hurt you. Not again! You have my word on that.â Preach tells her, âYes, Mary; who was it?â Josh says in a way that causes Maryâs entire body to grow cold, and her demeanor to change. âI...I donât know. He attacked me from behind. Wore a mask! I couldnât see him.â Mary tells everyone, only for Jaz to look at her, confused. Mary had just changed her entire story completely, and it was because of this, and how Maryâs demeanor had changed suddenly, when Josh had entered the room that Jaz figured it out. Josh had been the one that raped her, she was one hundred, ten percent sure of it, though she didnât say anything. âAre you sure you didnât see him?â She asks Mary once more, as Mary gives a nod. âIâm sure.âÂ
âDonât worry, whoever he is, weâll find him.â Josh tells Mary, forcing a fake smile, as he goes to walk towards Mary, only for Mary to move back, away from him, moving behind Maguire out of instinct, and in a fearful manner, only to squeeze Maguireâs arm. Again, out of everyone she knew, he had always been the one to make her feel safe, and the safest, no matter what the situation had been, and right now was no different.
-----The Past: Daltonâs Unit: The barracks: Argentina-----
âYou could have been killed, or worse. What the hell did you think you were doing?â Adam Dalton, asked. Causing Mary to let out a sigh as she crossed both arms over her chest as she gave a look to him. âDonât do that! Any one of us could get killed at any time, any given day of the week, at any hour, following the rules, and your orders. Not just because this one time I went off the books.â Mary said back to him as Dalton shakes his head. âThough, less likely to get yourself blown up, shot, or killed, following my command, however.â Dalton states, âIsnât getting blown up, and shot, the same thing as getting killed?â Mary remarked, sarcastically. âDonât be a smartass, Mary; you know what I meant!â Dalton retorts, while having let out a frustrated breath. âThat man killed Acacia, and I had a chance to get the bastard, and had I not changed things up when I did, and rerouted the mission, to my advantage, and stepped upâŚ, he could have gotten away. And, I wasnât about to let that bastard get away. Not again! So, you can bench me, throw me out of the unit; or, whatever else you want to do, butâŚ, I am not sorry! I would have done what I did, again; and the same way, had I to do it over.â Mary tells him flat out. âYouâŚ, you just have no idea, okayâŚâ Mary tells him, as tears fall from her eyes. Only for Dalton to see this, and having walked over to her, tries to console her, to which Mary just takes a step back away from him as she wipes the tears from her eyes, suddenly becoming cold.Â
âDontâŚ,â She tells him in a firm tone. Dalton, having seen this, and heard the tone of her voice, sighed once again. âMary, please,â Dalton says softly as Mary gives a shrug. âMaybe itâs time for a change.â Mary mumbles, âwhatâs that supposed to mean?â He asks, âItâs obvious one of us canât do our job to the best of our ability, while the other one is around, and that personâŚ, it isnât meâŚ, maybe itâs time I asked Patricia to transfer me out of the unit altogether. Maybe itâs time I went home.â Mary states, âYou donât have to do that.â Dalton says, âI love you, Mary.âÂ
âMaybe thatâs the problem.â Mary tells him, causing Dalton to look back at her with a hurt expression. âI think itâs time that we end things while itâs still early.â And, Dalton, having heard this, looks to Mary with disbelief. âYou donât mean that.â He mumbles, somewhat. âYeah, I do, actually,â Mary states, as Dalton makes his way over to Mary once again, and places a hand to her face. âYou're still the most beautiful girl in the room.â Dalton says charmingly, while smiling as he stares down at her, only for Mary to let out a small smile, shaking her head. âDonât look at me like that.â Mary tells him. âWhy not?â Dalton says with a smirk, only to wrap both arms around Mary, pulling her close. His eyes burning into hers, before leaning down to kiss her passionately; and, Mary, letting everything go for the moment, letâs herself get lost in his embrace as she kisses him back just as passionately.Â
Though, before allowing herself to get too caught up in the moment, once he had nudged her back, against the wall, Mary had simply broken the kiss, letting out a much needed breath, as she looked up at him, before swallowing hard. âItâs not going to work this time.â Mary tells him before placing a hand to his chest, pushing him back gently, while having stepped back away from him. âI love you, I do; but, like I said, itâs time for a change.â And, Mary having said what she did, kisses Dalton on the cheek, before making her way over to the door, and walking out, only to almost crash into Gabriella Booth, her longtime girlfriend, of more than a few years now, as she looks to the other woman, clearing her throat. Iâm sorry for going off the books like that, and changing the mission.â Mary tells her, while having forced a small smile. And, saying nothing more, walks past Gabby, and out the door, making her way over to the womenâs barracks, and once having seen that Jaz was nowhere around, makes her way over to the showers. And, turning the water on, letting it get to the perfect temperature. After having gotten undressed, steps into the shower, closing her eyes, trying to enjoy the warmth of the hot water, hitting her skin.
She had been unaware that her conversation with Dalton had been heard by another fellow soldier, within the unit. A man by the name of Josh Carter. Josh Carter, who had been stalking Mary for more than a few years now, hundreds of years to be exact, without her knowing. This man who had been trying to get into her pants the entire time that Mary had come to join Daltonâs unit, but to no avail. And, now he knew why. Her, and their commanding officer, Adam Dalton, were f***ing. Oh, how heâd make the bitch pay, he thought to himself, as he quietly made his way into the womenâs barracks, heading towards the showers, as a result of hearing the water running.Â
All of a sudden, Mary had been taken by surprise when Josh had come up, behind her; and, pushed her forward, causing her to knock into the wall of the shower stall. Doing so, so hard; that it immediately caused her vision to become blurry as well as break the skin along her forehead, causing blood to seep out, falling down from above her right eye, down onto her cheeks. âDonât make another move, bitch! Or, Iâll blow that pretty little head of yours, off!â Josh, tells Mary in a dangerous, and threatening tone. âJ-Josh, what are you doing? Get off of me!â Mary cried out, only to get pushed up against the wall once again. âShut up..,!!!â Was all Josh had said, before standing to unzip his pants. âSomeone, helâŚâ And, before Mary could call out for help, Josh slams her into the wall once again, causing her vision to become even more blurry. âOne more word out of you, and I will kill you; do you understand me?!â Josh hissed, his lips inches from Maryâs ear, causing her to shiver as a result. Only to feel, and see a gun, out of the corner of her eye, causing her entire body to stiffen up. âYou wonât get away with this.â Mary tells him, âOf course I will.â Josh says in a c*cky tone, his face full of amusement as he presses his body up against her backside. âYou tell anyone, and Iâll announce to the whole world that youâve been spreading your legs like some cheap whore for good ole commander Adam Dalton. You and I, both know; that the two of you f***ing is a big no, noâŚ, so you just be a good girl, and play along, alright!â Josh spats, only to place himself inside of Maryâs entrance of her vagina, while still being behind her, having entered her harshly, moving inside of her in a rough and fast, pace.Â
The pressure from him having entered her, and the way he was moving inside of her causing Mary to wince in pain, and to protest, as she cried out in pain. âNow youâve been f***ed by two of us in this unit.â Josh states, moving even faster, and harder inside of her. Wanting to cause her as much pain as possible. âExcuse me, three of us! Considering you and Miss Booth have been getting hot under the sheets as well. Damn, girl! What a little slut you are! Tell me, somethingâŚ, are you f***ing Preach, and Maguire as well?â Josh purred against Maryâs ear, and having reached his climax inside of her a few minutes later, let out pleasure-filled moan as a result, kissing her cheek. âThat will teach you not to ignore me ever again, you little bitch,â Josh says with venom in his tone, only to pull out of Mary, who says nothing. She just stands there against the wall, frozen on the spot.Â
âI know who you really are Mary Stuart, and I do mean, Queen Mary Stuart, of France, Scotland, Camelot, and so much moreâŚ, I have always been there, with you; watching you! But, you never saw me.â Josh states, âI bet you see me now.â He growled, âI was there when you married Francis Valois. When you and Bash were together. When you were with Octavian, and even Arthur Pendragon. You always had your nose up in the air, and thought you were better than me, which is why Iâm not surprised you never knew who I was, or recognized me; but, I was there, always there in the shadows.â And, Josh, having said this, moves the hair off of Maryâs cheek. âLike I said, you tell anyone, and I mean anyoneâŚ, and not only can I make life a living hell for you; but, everyone else you have ever come to know, and love. Everyone you care about, starting with your f***boy, Dalton.â And, Josh leaving his words at that, makes his way out of the showers, running out the door of the womenâs barracks, not having known that Maguire had been walking around nearby; Maguire having spotted him running out of the womenâs barracks, where Mary was at. But, Maguire only had seen the other man from the back of him.
-----The Present: Storybrooke, Maine: Eight Years Later-----
âOkay, OkayâŚ, I will go out with this Amar...Omir...whatever his name is. Weâll make it a double date.â Mary said, only to chuckle, as she shakes her head. âAmirâŚ, thatâs it, thank you!â She said, only to sigh as she gave a look. âThough, you know how I feel about going out with another military guy. After everything went down the way it did with Dalton, I just⌠never mind!â Mary says, before letting out a breath. âHowever, If I find him completely boring or a dead stick in the mud, and at any time Iâm ready to get the hell out of thereâŚ, my code word for you to come to my rescue is, Xena loves Gabby.â Mary states, only to chuckle once more. âTry not to drool over my brother too much though, okay?â Mary says with a smirk, having been talking about her brother, Jax Teller; her older brother, who in actuality was her biological father; though, she had no idea; however, she had been trying to set him and Gabby up on a date for months now, and if it only took for Mary to spend one evening on a double date with an old friend of Gabbyâs, by the name of Amir Al-Raisani, then hell, she would bite, and suck it up so to speak.Â
âAfter Harrison Wells, and my brother, Will; and, all that sh*t with them, going back and forth; not to be with either one of them at the momentâŚ, you just need to get laid.â Mary says with an amused grin, as she gave a quick wink. âLaid by a man, I mean. Though, as for getting laid by a woman, I do believe that I can help you with that.â Mary states, while giving Gabby a very intense look, only to lean over and start kissing her very passionately.Â
Having lifted the shirt that Gabby was wearing, up over the other womanâs head, pushes her down onto the bed; only for Mary to lean over, pressing her body against the younger womansâ, as she began kissing her passionately once more. Her hands moving freely up and down Gabbyâs body as she lets out a soft moan against her lips, only to stop what she was doing and move off of the other woman, when Samantha Dalton, her seven year old, with Adam Dalton, having entered the room. âMama, I want a peanut butter, and Jelly sandwich,â the little girl said, only for Mary to smile at her, as she gets off of the bed and makes her way over to where Samantha is standing. âA peanut butter, and Jelly sandwich, huh? I think I can make that happen, my bunny rabbit.â Mary tells her daughter, before turning to Gabby. âSorry babe, mom duty, calls.â Mary says, before turning back to Samantha and picking the little girl up into her arms, kissing Samanth on the cheek.Â
It had been eight years since she last saw Dalton, or heard from him. Though she wasnât about to recollect on that at the moment, as she cleared her throat. The truth was, after she and Gabby got discharged from the unit, about a year and a half later, Patricia was able to overturn the discharge, for the both of them, and while Mary decided to stay back in Storybrooke, Gabby had rejoined the unit. She was just happy that Gabby had gotten a couple weeks off, before she would have to go back. âGo ahead and set things up with your friend, Amir.â Mary tells Gabby, only to make her way out the door and down the stairs, headed to the kitchen.
Later that night, Mary is in her room getting ready for the double date, when Jax walks into the room. âCould you please help me with this god forsaken tie, before I end up ripping it to shreds.â Jax hissed, causing Mary to chuckle as she shakes her head, before making her way over to Jax, where she starts helping him with his tie. âWhy is it none of you men know how to tie, a tie, properly?â Mary asks, âCause, thatâs what we have you women for.â Jax says with a smirk, causing Mary to roll her eyes. âYeah, yeahâŚ,â Mary retorts, âWhereâs Sami?â
âSheâs with Ruby.â Mary answers him, and could only smirk once again after having finally finished fixing his tie for him. âThere you are, looking good, big brotherâ Mary tells him, only to wink, as Jax, after looking into the mirror for the moment, smiles. âYes, I am.â He says with a chuckle, looking to, Mary again, afterward; finally noticing what she was wearing as he raises a brow. âUh, please tell me that is not what you're wearing.â Jax grumbles, causing Mary to shake her head. âWhatâs wrong with what Iâm wearing?â She asks, âWhere the hell is the rest of it?â Jax says looking at the dress she was wearing. âFirst of all, itâs too short, doesnât leave any room for the imagination! Second, you need to cover those, better!â Jax begins his words, pointing towards her chest, the dress which hugged her breasts quite nicely to say the least. âAnd, thirdâŚ, your going to make me have to kill this guyâŚ.I can see it now!â Jax retorts, as he walks over and grabs a jacket out of Maryâs closet, and hands it to Mary. âIâm not putting that on.â Mary tells him, âUh, yes you are,â Jax states, causing Mary to look back at him with quite the amused smirk along her face. âWhatâs the matter you think Iâm gonna get lucky tonight?â She muses, âOh, god...just donât...donât say that. I donât need that image in my head, and no if you want his balls to remain intact, you wonât be getting lucky tonight, so get that thought out of your head.â Jax retorts, as Mary keeps the same amused grin across her face. âYour my brother, JaxâŚ, and not my father; and, even if you were, I still wouldnât listen to you. Iâm a grown ass woman. I can wear what I want, and do what I want, and Iâm not wearing the jacket, case closed.â Mary tells him, âYes, you are,â Jax spats back, as Mary laughs once again. âNo, Iâm notâŚ,âÂ
âCome on, work with me woman!â Jax groans, only for Mary to smile. âCome on, letâs get going. We donât want to be late for our hot dates.â Mary says with a smirk, and having said what she did, grabs a scarf-like item of clothing, wrapping it around her, as she walks out the door. âNow, Jax,â Mary calls out to him, who sighs as he shakes his head. âUnbelievable, I never win,â He mumbles, before making his way out of the room, and down the stairs, locking the house up, as he walks over to his truck. And, after he and Mary had both gotten inside; Jax, after placing the seatbelt around him, cranks the vehicle, and after a few seconds, drives off, headed to Grannyâs diner. For what will be a double date between him, Mary, Gabby, and Amir.
Once the two had arrived at the diner, Mary was the first one out of the truck, followed by Jax as she looked to see Gabby ahead of them, smiling as she began to make her way over to where the other woman was standing. âYou look delicious enough to eat.â Mary says with a grin, giving a quick wink to Gabby as she looks over to Jax. âDonât she look great, Jax?â Mary says, causing Jax to nod as he looks to Gabby with quite the c*cky smirk. âLooking very good. And, look, she has clothes on, unlike you, baby sisâŚâJax, retorts, to which Mary rolls her eyes yet again, as Jax had placed both hands into his jeans pocketsâ âGlad to see that you made it, hot lips.â Jax says to Gabby, only to look back to Mary once more.
âSo, where is your friend? Decided not to show up after all.â Mary says, âOf course he didnât. If he knows whatâs good for him, anyway.â Jax mumbles, only to be hit across the arm by Mary. âHey, place nice,â Mary tells him, only to turn her attention to the dark figure that was now approaching them, a few feet behind Gabby. Only to look at Amir with quite the âholy sh*tâ look, as she stared him completely up, and down, and vice versa, every inch of him, when he had finally come into her line of sight. âDamn,â Mary had blurted out loud, only to clear her throat a few seconds later. âI mean, uhâŚ, hello!â Mary beamed with a bright smile, continuing to look in Amirâs direction. âYou must be...hot as hellâŚ, I mean, AmirâŚâ Mary blurted out, not knowing why the hell she had just said what she did, kicking herself on the inside, while forcing a smile on the outside.Â
âAnd, Iâm JaxâŚ, her brother! Her big, and bad, older brother. Her brother, with big muscles, whoâŚ, can crush a beer can while only using one bicep.â Jax remarked, causing Mary to look at nim with a âwhat the f***â look, only to slap him in the back of his head. âThatâs enough.â Mary retorts, âOuch,â Was all Jax had said, though turning to look back at Amir, who he gives a c*cky look to as he stared the other man, down. âIgnore him! He didnât get the chance to eat his wheaties this morning.â Mary states, while continuing to look at Amir. âAnywayâŚ, Iâm um.., Iâm, uhâŚ, Mary starts her words, only to find herself having a hard time finishing her words, as she had seemed to have forgotten her name, at that moment.Â
âMaryâŚ,â Jax says with a roll of his eyes, causing Mary to chuckle. âYes, Mary...thatâs it!â Mary says, with a now embarrassed look to Amir, only to clear her throat as she took a strand of her hair, tucking it behind her ear in a nervous manner, while feeling the heat coming off of her cheeks, which she was sure were beet-blood red now, as she was also sure she was blushing very hard, only to remain silent for the moment, hoping that someone would break the awkward ice, so to speak, and soon.
