So here we are in the 4th chapter. This is probably one of my favorite chapters because of everything that happens, all the action and suspense. Enjoy :)

I ran back to where Liam was and got his camping backpack, thankfully I hadn't unpacked it.

"Mommy what's going on?" I didn't respond I had so much panic going through my mind. I went to the closet and took out my silver case containing my guns. I picked up my trusty hand gun and stuffed it into my back. "Mommy?" Liam started sounding scared now but I couldn't answer him just yet. Lastly I picked up my wallet and my phone agenda and put it in Liam's backpack.

I picked up his coat from the floor, Liam was already standing up. I put his backpack and coat on him. "Mommy what's going on?"

"Liam listen to me carefully, we have to get out of here the bad guys are coming."

"The ones who want Leon?"

"Yes." I kept composure of myself while horror washed over his face. I went to the window to see there was one in the parking lot. "Okay you're gonna have to climb out of the window. It's just like climbing down a ladder." I heard harsh thumping on the downstairs door.

"Aren't you coming?" This tore me apart I had to stay behind and make sure he would escape.

"Yes but you have to go first but hold on." I went back to get my sniper and I put the suppressor on it. "Sweetie turn around." Liam did so and I aimed quickly at the guard next to the car and fired, it was a quick and quiet method. The man slumped to the floor and I breathed. The thumping on the door was becoming harsher, I tied my blanket to the edge of my small balcony and faced Liam for what I felt was the very last time. "Okay sweetie listen to me very closely," my voice was starting to crack, "when you get down hide in those thick bushes and when the coast is clear you run as fast as you can to the phone and call the police and Leon. Whatever you hear you keep hiding or running, okay?" I stroked his face and held him tightly to me.

"Yes mommy." He hugged me back. His face was extremely pale and I could see fear written everywhere on it but I could especially see it in his eyes.

"I love you more than my life, you remember that." I let him go and in that instant the door busted open, I closed the door to my room and Liam climbed down the blanket rope. The gunfire started I hid behind my wardrobe, into the corner of the room. I peered over to the balcony Liam was already safely on the ground. I cut loose the blanket to hide evidence.

"Alright boys that's enough." The gunfire ceased. "Miss. Blackwell are you still alive back there?" I didn't respond, footsteps came near my door and opened it, I shot that man point blank. He fell face front. The gunfire started again. "No, no, no stop I didn't say start firing. Miss. Blackwell I came here to have a friendly chat."

I snorted, "So this is your regular talking mode, what's it like when you're having an argument?" I retorted angrily.

"Miss. Blackwell, you know why we've come here?"

"Let me guess you wanted pizza, I was about to order one for myself." I felt I was buying Liam time.

"Very humorous, just like I heard you were, but any how we're here exclusively for agent Kennedy."

"Well you out of luck, he left." This wasn't entirely a lie.

"I don't believe you, my resources tell me he's still in the area."

"If you don't believe me that's not my problem, and if you could kindly get the hell out of my house!"

"Well, I tried to reason with you but sadly you've left me with no choice." I heard him snap his fingers and the room door busted open and I found myself in a CQC fight with four big guys. My advantage was that I wasn't husky or slow, I manage to knock two of them out when I got hit hard on my arm and then my back. I fell to the floor, face forward. Later they dragged me to where Donovan was standing.

"Miss. Blackwell we didn't have to come to this, there still time you can still tell me where Kennedy is."

I spat, "Your just as bad as Derek, he was a fool and you're a BASTARD!" I drove his patience; he slapped me across the face it felt more like a punch. I grunted in pain and spat. I looked up at him he seemed pleased and dialed a number.

"Hello?" Donovan had put the phone on speaker so I could hear.

"Ahhh Mr. Kennedy just the man I wanted to speak to." Donovan said while smiling widely towards me.

"Who is this?"

"Well, the brother of a dead friend."

"Simmons?"

"Donovan Simmons, yes. I contacted you because I want you to turn yourself in."

"Why in the hell would I do that?"

"Well I am very persuasive." Donovan snapped his fingers, at that instant the body guard yanked at my hair hard, my cranium felt like it was about to rip off. I bit my lip to suppress a scream but it was no use I let it out.

"SELENE?! LET HER GO, YOU FILTHY LOWLIFE! If you so much as touch one MORE hair on her head-"

"You'll do what Mr. Kennedy yell at me again, ahahha you're in no condition to threaten me, I'm in control of this little game." It was silent this time I got hit on my bad arm, I groaned in pain again.

"LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!"

"tsk, tsk, tsk Mr. Kennedy are you gonna abide by my rules?"

"Yes, just please let her and the boy go."

"Yes, hmm did you say boy?" I gasped Liam was about to be discovered I had to quickly say something.

"Yeah my nephew left right after you did Leon." My voice sounded raspy and out of wind. Donovan glared in my direction and I glared back no way he would harm my son, he wouldn't live another day. There was a sigh of relief through the phone, Leon understood the hidden message. Donovan slapped me across the face yet again and I spat blood this time.

"Who said you could speak!" Donovan said amused as I coughed hardly.

"SELENE! DON'T TOUCH HER!" Leon yelled angrily.

"Don't worry about her Mr. Kennedy, where was I… of course, as I was saying we'll wait for you here agent Kennedy, in Selene's gracious company." He peered over to me and then fully eyed me from head to toe. Well I wasn't standing this at all. The guards had loosen their grip on me so I punched the closest one in the gut and I side kicked the other one, it was just me and Donovan. I didn't suspect he knew how to fight so this time I back slapped him and kicked him in the gut.

"HELLO? SELENE?" I picked up the phone.

"Leon, you have to get out and rendezvous with my nephew he'll contact you okay."

"I'm not leaving you-"

"You have to, you'll be safe and he'll be safe with you."

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" There was a gunshot it startled me at first but I felt something hot trickling down my arm, it was red, it was mine, my blood. I collapsed letting the phone fall, everything ached, and I couldn't understand anything but I thought I heard my name in the distance. I closed my eyes but right before losing complete consciousness I thought I heard a siren.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will be seen mostly through Leon's eyes. I'll post chapter 5 in a couple of days. Thanks for following this story up to this point :D
