Chapter 2: A New Family

"Jane's pregnant." John said to Eddie the next day in a hushed tone. "Are you kidding, John?" Eddie asked.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?"

"No, you look completely serious."

"Then I'm not kidding."

"Well, what are you gonna do?"

"That's the problem…I have no idea." John opened the door to his office, and shut all the windows, and locked the door. John activated his secret mission screen and his boss appeared on the screen, giving him his mission. John collected his weapons he took from under his tool shed at home, and hid them away, after deactivating the screen. "Good luck!" Eddie called, as John rushed out. Meanwhile, Jane and Jasmine stood talking in Jane's building, amid the chatter of the other women. "You're kidding me." Jasmine whispered. Jane gave her a look. "You're not kidding me. You're really pregnant. Did you tell John yet?" Jasmine whispered.

"Yes." Jane whispered.

"And how'd he take it?"

"Not well."

"What are you going to do, Jane?"

"I don't know, Jasmine."

Jane walked away, and went to receive her mission.

"Ok, sweetie. You're going to stay with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. Daddy and I will see you later." Jane told her, kissing her two year old daughter's forehead. "Don't worry, Jane. We'll take good care of Brooke." Mrs. Johnson promised them. Jane and John walked to their car, whispering.

"John, I still don't feel comfortable about leaving Brooke with the Johnsons."

"Sweetheart, she'll be fine." John got in the driver's side.

"They don't have MP40s, invisible motion sensing trip wires, or grenade launchers, and who said you get to drive?"

"The fact that I got in this first."

"I'm obviously the better driver."

"Jane, shut up and get in the car."

"I drove through a minefield in the Ukraine."

"Jane…shut up…please."

Jane sighed in annoyance, reluctantly climbing in passenger's seat. She buckled her seatbelt after John did and they drove off.

At midnight, Jane and John returned to the Johnson house, before they even got to the door, a crying and shaking Mrs. Johnson reached them. "Jane…John. I'm so sorry. We…tried to stop them…but they took her…they took Brooke. I'm so sorry." Mrs. Johnson said tearfully. Jane and John looked at each other, horrified.
