Seth viciously glared over at Hunter who looked as if he didn't do nothing wrong.
"Something you wanna discuss Seth?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah you wanna explain what the hell that was today? Putting a bomb there? You could have killed me!" Seth yelled.
"Well you didn't die besides that was my way of sending a message to them". Hunter said.
"Look i don't care that you tried to send a message but next time warn me about it before you do it, i could have died today". Seth said.
"Your fine so stop whining". Hunter said.
Seth rubbed his hands tiredly down his face just as Randy and Kane came in.
"What's the spy whining about?" Randy asked.
"Shut your pie hole". Seth snapped.
"Alright enough, Seth you're fine so drop it go back and continue doing what you're doing". Hunter said.
"And what exactly is that?" Seth asked.
"You go get information and report back to me". Hunter said.
"They already got warrants and everything out for you guys and they already know that there's a third member in law enforcement, they won't stop at anything to get you they might use force and knowing them they will do it". Seth said.
"So when they get close you tell us and we move out". Hunter said.
"Anything else?" Seth asked.
"Yeah find out anything you can on somebody because i want to have a backup plan in case things do go south". Hunter said.
"Like what?" Seth asked.
"Anything Seth i don't care". Hunter replied.
Seth bit his lip because he did know something but he wouldn't tell because if anything would happen like that Dean would kill somebody.
"Seth do you know something?" Kane asked.
"If i tell you don't do anything stupid i'm serious". Seth said.
"Spit it out already". Randy snapped.
"One of the agents, Ambrose he has a kid. A little girl, 8 years old, her name's Lily, her mother abandoned her as a baby so Dean raised her by himself. Whatever you do don't hurt her she's just a kid, she's only a little girl". Seth said.
Hunter smirked with this idea. "Don't worry Seth we won't hurt the kid".
"I gotta go". Seth said.
Seth left going back home and laid in his bed all night and can't fall asleep.
Meanwhile
Dean was still asleep he then awoke by hearing soft whimpering and he felt small legs kicking him what alerted him was the whimpering turned into sobbing he looked down at his daughter and saw her in distress so he cut his bedside lamp on then turned his attention towards her.
"Lily, sweetheart wake up it's alright you're just dreaming it's all a dream wake up baby wake up it's ok". Dean said gently while shaking her.
Lily's eyes then shot open as she looked around and saw that she was with Dean and she started crying and he picked her up cradling her in his arms while rocking her.
"Shh sweetheart shh it's ok, it's alright daddy's here, daddy's got you it's alright baby it's alright shh it's ok, it's alright baby daddy's got you i'm right here". Dean soothed her.
"D-don't le-leave me daddy". Lily cried.
"I will never leave you sweetheart i promise". Dean said.
Lily stayed in her father's arms until she calmed down enough to talk she still had tears streaming down her cheeks and Dean wiped them away with his thumbs.
"You wanna talk about it sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"Y-you went out and got hurt but didn't come back and i was left all alone". Lily sobbed.
"Aw it's ok baby, shh it's alright sweetheart everything's alright ok. I'm right here and i'm fine, i promise that i will always come back and you will never be alone". Dean said.
"Promise?" Lily said.
"I promise sweetheart". Dean said.
"I love you daddy". Lily said hugging her father.
"I love you too baby". Dean said.
He then glanced at the clock on his nightstand which flashed 2:45 am the father and daughter had to be up in a matter of hours so Dean had to get Lily back to bed or it will be a fight in the morning.
"Alright sweetheart back to bed come on". Dean said.
"No i don't wanna go back to sleep". Lily said.
"Sweetheart you have to get some sleep you have school tomorrow". Dean said.
"No i don't wanna have the dream again". Lily said.
"Sweetheart i promise you won't have the dream again". Dean said.
"How do you know?" Lily asked.
"Because i'll make all the nightmares go away". Dean said.
"Like you make all the bad guys go away?" Lily asked.
"Something like that". Dean chuckled.
"I don't want you to leave me". Lily said.
"I'm not going anywhere sweetheart i promise". Dean said.
"Ok". Lily said.
"That's my girl". Dean said.
Dean turned the lamp off just as Lily was snuggling into his side and he threw a protective arm around her pulling her close.
"G'night daddy". Lily said falling asleep.
Dean kissed the top of her head then replied. "Sweet dreams sweetheart".
The next morning
Dean woke up to the smell of smoke coming from the kitchen and when he didn't feel his daughter beside him he shot up in a panic running down the stairs and saw that the kitchen was full of smoke so he opened the windows to air out the house.
"Sweetheart what are you doing?" Dean asked.
"I wanted to cook breakfast for us". Lily said.
When Dean saw the burnt food in the pan he smiled at his daughter then petted her head.
"Sweetheart next time leave the cooking to me". Dean chuckled.
"Ok". Lily said.
"Go get ready for school while i get the cereal out". Dean said.
"Ok". Lily said.
Lily then skipped up the steps to her room while Dean scraped the burnt eggs in the trash then there was a knock on the door which got him confused because he didn't know who be at his house at 6 in the morning so he got his gun out and held it at his side to open the door and saw Seth with Roman holding cups of coffee with some donuts.
"Not that i don't mind you guys coming over but why are you here at six in the morning". Dean said.
"Um why does the house smell like smoke?" Roman asked.
"Lily tried to cook but burnt the food". Dean said.
"That was nice". Seth said.
"We brought coffee". Roman said.
"Thanks". Dean said taking one.
"So what's the game plan for today?" Roman asked.
"I think Cena said that it's suppose to be a stakeout on Hunter". Seth said.
"I'll try to help with the stake out but i can't do that overnight stake out". Dean said.
"Yeah totally". Roman said.
Lily then came down the steps dressed and ready for school.
"I'm ready daddy". Lily said.
"Sweetheart come say hi to Seth and Roman". Dean said.
"Uncle Seth! Uncle Roman!" Lily said excitedly running to them.
"Hey munchkin". Seth said sweeping her up.
"Hey baby girl". Roman said ruffling her hair.
Dean smiled at the sight at the sight he then checked the time.
"We have to go or were all gonna be late". Dean said.
"Daddy can Uncle Seth and Uncle Roman stay for dinner tonight?" Lily asked.
"I don't know sweetheart they might be busy plus you have to ask them". Dean said.
"Please Uncle Seth, please Uncle Roman". Lily said using the puppy dog pout.
"We'll see sweetheart like your dad said we might be busy". Seth said.
"We'll try if we can't i'm sure we can make it up to you". Roman said.
"Let's head out before were late you guys go ahead and meet me at the office i gotta drop this little munchkin off at school". Dean said.
"Alright". They said.
"Bye Uncle Roman, bye Uncle Seth". Lily said.
"Bye sweetheart". Seth said kissing her head.
"See you later munchkin". Roman said.
Roman left the donuts with Dean, he then quickly put one in a paper towel got Lily a bottle of milk and then got his badge and weapon from the safe. He forgot to make Lily's lunch so he gave her some lunch money then they headed out. He kept glancing at her through the rear view mirror as she sang along with her music what pained him is that he didn't know how long he would be on this stake out, he just hopes it won't be overnight because he will refuse to leave Lily with anyone except with someone from the team. He then pulled up at the elementary school then Lily unbuckled herself then leaned forward.
"Bye daddy i love you". Lily said kissing his cheek.
"Bye sweetheart i love you too, be good and behave alright i'll see you after school". Dean said.
"I will". Lily said.
Dean kissed her temple then she got out running inside making him chuckle he then rubbed his cheek to get the sticky sugar off as he headed to HQ for the day hoping just hoping he doesn't get stuck on a full time stake out, he then arrive after a 10 minute drive he then mentally prepares for the day he goes inside and heads up to the office just as Seth and Roman were talking about something, Cena was in his office, and the other agents were scurrying around gathering all kinds of information on Hunter and his crew.
"Hey so what's the game plan?" Dean asked.
"We don't know were waiting on Cena". Roman said.
Seth held his breath because he's trying so hard to not give himself away from this but it's killing him on the inside especially since he had told Hunter about Lily because if anything happened to her Dean will be on a destructive warpath so bad no one will be able to stop him, he excused himself away from his partners going to the bathroom he takes his cell out and calls Hunter.
-Hello. Hunter said.
-Hunter it's me look i got some info for you. Seth said.
-What is it. Hunter said.
-They're suppose to have a stake out at one of your locations i don't know which one so be on the lookout. Seth said.
-Alright thanks Seth. Hunter said.
-No problem boss. Seth said.
He hung up and deleted the call from the history as he went back out to the squad and Cena was at the top of the stairs to address his agents.
"Alright everyone i need four groups of agents for these stake outs, there will be two agents a group we will rotate every few hours and whatever happens you report back do i make myself clear". Cena said.
"Yes sir". The agents said.
Dean then went up to see his boss before he headed out, Cena saw one of his agents coming up to see him so they went in his office.
"Something i can help you with Agent Ambrose". Cena said.
"I was hoping that i would be able to come back early from my shift on the stake out because i have to pick my daughter up after school and i just don't feel totally comfortable leaving her by herself". Dean said.
"You may leave to pick up your daughter then bring her back here but you have to back on the stake out until the shift change, Lily will be fine here while you work". Cena said.
"Alright but i can't work on the night shift stake out i'll do it during the day and after i pick up my daughter but i won't do it at night". Dean said.
"That's fine". Cena said.
"Thank you for understanding". Dean said.
"Your welcome now you have a job to do Ambrose". Cena said.
"Yes sir". Dean said.
Dean then left and saw that he was going to be partnering with Roman since some of the other agents are gone.
"Looks like were gonna be partnered up today". Roman said.
"Let's do this". Dean said.
The two headed out going to one of the locations.
Meanwhile
Hunter is at a hidden location and he had gotten off the phone with Seth saying they're doing stake outs at his locations he then got an idea in his head.
"Randy". Hunter called.
"What's up boss". Randy said.
"I have a job for you to do". Hunter said.
"What is it?" Randy asked.
"I want you to find that kid that Seth was talking about just take a few pictures, i think they need to know who they're dealing with". Hunter said.
"You got it". Randy said.
Randy went off and did his job he had texted Seth to see if he had any info on Lily he waited for the text back and got the address of her school he then went to it and found Lily on the play ground he made sure no one was around then he started taking the pictures he put the camera down before he got busted he pulled out his phone pretending he's lost then left going back to the hidden location.
"Boss i got them". Randy said.
Hunter then smirked. "It's time to show them who exactly they are messing with".
Randy then printed the pictures and put them in an envelope along with a note addressing it to the FBI office.
While
Dean and Roman are watching one of Hunter's hideouts they are bored and restless, they are both on their third cup of coffee while trying to stay awake, Dean was really tired after being up with his daughter the night before.
"Hey you alright?" Roman asked.
"I'm tired man". Dean said.
"Didn't get much sleep last night?" Roman asked.
"It was Lily she had a couple nightmares, i stayed up with her until she fell back asleep". Dean said.
"She tell you what they were about?" Roman asked.
"Apparently i had went out on a job and didn't come back leaving her alone". Dean said.
"I'm sure she'll grow out of it, it's probably a phase". Roman said.
"What if she's right Rome? What if i do go out something happens to me and she's all alone with no one to protect her". Dean said.
"That won't happen Dean because i know a couple things for sure, one nothing won't happen to you because you are a damn good agent and second she will never be alone and she will always have someone around to protect her if it's me, Seth, one of the guys, Cena, you, she will always be protected no matter what". Roman said.
Just then Cena had called all the agents back from the stake outs saying it's an urgent matter, they all sped back to the office wondering what the problem is.
FBI HQ
Cena was in the squad talking to one of his agents then the mail clerk came up to him giving him the envelope and he opens it as a few pictures fall out along with a note. He looks at the pictures noticing that it's Lily and the note reads.
-Don't mess with fire unless you wanna get burned. Hunter.
Cena then called all his agents back to the office after that came in and waited on them his mind was roaming with thoughts and questions, after 10 minutes all the agents who were on the stake outs came back he then put the items behind his back.
"Everyone conference room now". Cena said.
They then follow their boss up to the room and once all the agents are in Cena closes the door heading to the front putting the pictures and not on the white board when Dean saw the pictures all the color drains from his face, his heart sank into his stomach he felt like he was gonna throw up. The pictures of his daughter on the board was enough to get all the agents a bit upset and pissed.
"This just came in there's no need to ask who's it from he knows were onto him now but what the most important thing is he might be targeting Agent Ambrose's daughter he wants to show that this is his game and he wants us to play into it. We won't play into it that's for sure". Cena said.
Dean won't stand for that now he's gonna rip Hunter's head clean off his shoulders he stormed out of the room and Roman had caught up to him in time.
"Dean, you need to calm down man alright". Roman said.
"You didn't just say that. That son of a bitch found out about my little girl and i will be damned if she's used as a pawn against me, nobody is gonna hurt my daughter and nobody is gonna use her as leverage against me". Dean said angrily.
"The real question is how he found out about her, you don't talk about your personal life to nobody except me, Seth, or Cena". Roman said.
"What if the mole is inside here? One of us leaking the information to Hunter i mean he couldn't have found out about Lily without someone telling him". Dean said.
"Your right but the question is who". Roman said.
"I'll figure it out later right now i'm picking Lily up". Dean said.
"But school hasn't let out yet". Roman said.
"I don't care if they got that close to take them pictures who knows what he's actually capable of". Dean said.
Before he could leave Cena came down.
"Ambrose look i know your angry about what happened but i don't want you to do anything rash". Cena said.
"Sir with all due respect i'm not angry i'm pissed that he found out about my daughter and is using her as a pawn against me, i'm not letting anything happen to my daughter. I'm a father before i'm an agent and if he does anything to my daughter all bets are off. She is the only positive light i have in my life, she means everything to me and i will be damned if that son of a bitch uses her". Dean said.
"Dean i think i should take you off the case if this is gonna be a problem and if he might go after your daughter i'm gonna have protection for you and her around the clock protection". Cena said.
"I'm fine without the protection besides if Lily saw agents outside the house everyday she's gonna get either curious or scared, i don't bring my work home with me for this exact reason. I don't wanna explain to my 8 year old daughter why we have agents watching us 24/7, sorry but that's not gonna happen". Dean said.
"I'll stay with him and Lily. Roman said.
"Are you fine with this arrangement Dean?" Cena asked.
"I guess so look i'm going to pick my daughter up from school then head back here". Dean said.
"No your not go home Dean be with your daughter we got it from here". Cena said.
"You sure?" Dean asked.
"I'm sure now go. Reigns you are not to leave their side for anything understood". Cena said.
"Yes sir". Roman said.
"Dismissed". Cena said.
While they went to pick up Lily, Seth had sent a text to Hunter saying what's going on and what the next move should be. The whole time while Dean was driving he couldn't get the thought of someone like Hunter using or even hurting a little girl like Lily just to make a point that sickened him to his stomach.
"It'll be alright Dean nobody is that cruel or cold-hearted to use a kid as leverage". Roman said.
"You don't know that Rome hell i don't know that". Dean said.
"Well i'm for sure on this, nobody not even Hunter will get Lily in anyway possible even if i have to follow the two of you for the rest of your lives. He won't get near her". Roman said.
"Thanks man". Dean said.
Dean then arrived to pick Lily up he saw the time and school should be letting out in a couple minutes anyway so he figured he could wait, while they waited he and Roman talked just then a security guard knocked on Dean's window so he rolled it down.
"Yeah". Dean said.
"You got some id sir". The guard said.
Dean pulled out his badge and showed it to him then replied. "I'm waiting to pick my daughter up".
"Alright just making sure". The guard said.
something then popped in Dean's mind.
"You mind if i ask a couple questions". Dean said.
"Ok". The guard said.
"Nobody suspicious was around here today were they". Dean said.
"Come to think about it there was a guy in a black van i don't know what he was doing he was parked here for about 10 minutes then drove off i think he got lost or something but it looked like he had a camera in the passenger seat". The guard explained.
"Do you remember what he was driving? What the guy looked liked?" Dean asked.
"He was driving a black van didn't have a licensed plate. He looked about to be in his early to mid thirties, had almost no hair but had some, had tattoos". The guard said.
Dean then pulled out his phone and pulled the picture of Randy up and showed it to him.
"This the guy?" Dean asked.
"Yup that's him". The guard said.
"Thanks". Dean said.
The guard then left as he went to the crosswalk while Dean put his phone away.
"So Hunter sends Randy out to take pictures of Lily". Roman said.
"When we find them i'm gonna rip both their heads off then kill whoever gave them the information". Dean growled.
"Could it be one of the guys from the squad? A mole inside our unit?" Roman asked.
"It has to be how else would they get this info". Dean said.
"Question is who". Roman said.
"Don't know don't care right now my only priority right now is Lily that's it". Dean said.
"Well you need to calm down before she comes out here and sees you like this, you don't wanna scare her". Roman said.
Dean then got out then taking a few deep breaths while calming himself down just then the final bell rang and kids came out the school swarming to their buses or to their parents then when Lily came out and she saw her dad she had a big smile on her face as she ran to him and he swept her up in his arms.
"Daddy!" Lily said in excitement.
"Hey baby girl how was your day". Dean said smiling.
"It was good how was your day". Lily said.
"Much better now". Dean said.
"Is Uncle Roman gonna stay with us?" Lily asked.
"Yeah". Dean said.
"Why not Uncle Seth?" Lily asked.
"He's still at work right now but i'm sure he'll visit". Dean said.
Lily then got in the back and started to tell Roman and Dean about her day.
Meanwhile
Hunter then got another idea but this would require both Kane and Randy.
"Boys". Hunter called.
"Yeah". Kane said.
"I think we need to pay one of the agents a visit". Hunter said.
"Which one?" Randy asked.
"Ambrose". Hunter said.
"What do you want us to do?" Kane asked.
They then left after Hunter told them they arrived at Dean's house and made sure no one was around then proceeded to break the door in then messed up some of the stuff in the house then once it messed up enough they left leaving the door slightly opened and no one saw anything.
Dean was then down the street from his house he then got a gut feeling that something wasn't right but he didn't know what it kept eating at him he then pulled up in his driveway and he put the car in park and looked over to see his front door ajar which set off every alarm in his head.
"Sweetheart i need you to stay in the car ok". Dean told his daughter.
"Is everything alright daddy?" Lily asked.
"Just stay here with Roman alright". Dean said.
"Dean what is it?" Roman asked quietly.
"It looks like someone broke in i'm gonna check it out". Dean replied quietly.
Dean then got out then going for his gun keeping it at his side the whole time then bringing it up as he entered his house looked around so far nothing looked stolen but his house looked like a war happened in there he put his weapons back in the holster.
"Daddy". Lily said from the door.
"Sweetheart i told you to stay in the car". Dean said calm but firmly.
"Is everything alright?" Lily asked.
"Everything will be alright sweetheart i promise". Dean said.
"I'm scared daddy". Lily said.
"Come here honey". Dean said.
Dean picked her up and began rocking her while petting her hair then going out to his partner who just called their boss.
"This wasn't a coincidence Roman, there's a mole inside the unit leaking information. We need to find out who the mole is and do it quick". Dean said quietly.
