Bobby's POV
I was in my office working on paper work when tank phoned and told me to get to conference room 3 NOW. I hung up saved the work on my computer, marked my place in the file, turned off the computer and then headed out of my office with my medical bag in hand.
When I was going down the hall Les ran up to me "he call you to" we looked at each other and I nodded. I shrugged and we continued down the stairs banging though the door and rushing to the conference room.
I knock "Enter" comes from Tank so I follow Santos in and looked at our second in command waiting for orders or some clue as to what is going on.
Tank turns to his left our right and says "this is General and Lieutenant General Marino" as he was saluting.
Lester and I both snapped to attention turned to the couple and saluted. "At ease" they both say before smiling at each other. First thing I realize she is the higher ranking officer. Second is they both are also Rangers and maybe more. Third her smile looks so familiar it reminds me of the bosses.
I realized I was staring and said "sorry mam it's a pleasure to meet you."
She laughs and smirks at us "you boys" she said smiling "you don't know who I am? Do you?"
I shake my head and Lester says "No mam, sorry" he glances at me.
"Maybe I should have all of you boys go back through basic" and she was glaring "I never thought my boys where this stupid "and I got it.
"Sis? Sara? Is that you?" She smiled while nodding and we both fly around the table and are pulled into her arms.
When we separate Les says "thought you were never coming back."
She smiles a sad smile "I will explain everything" she nodded to herself "I missed all my boys" she looks between the three of us smiling. I laughed on the inside because I can't see any one of us letting someone call us boys except sis our segregate mother.
She turns to the man with her and he stands up and comes behind her and wraps his arms around her middle like Ranger dose with Steph. He smiles at us and she turns her head and looks into his eyes "Honey" she turns to us "this is my other two boys Bobby, and Les or Lester and boys this is my husband Gianni our son will be here later after dinner at the Plums."
We all say high and shake hands before Les asks "dose Julio know your home?"
She smiled the saddest smile I have ever seen and she nods as tears flood her eyes and Gianni pulls her to him and whispers soothing words in Italian.
Tank walks over to the two and bends down rubbing her back "Sis your here now you have to focus on his future not his past."
She nods and pulls back and turns in her husband's arms to look at us again. She smiles at Tank and says thanks. He nods and smiles back.
"I have seen Alfonso, Estefan, and the rest of my boys you two where the only ones missing" she smiles and hugs us again. I am so happy she's back it makes me feel like I'm finally able to go back home.
"So how old is your son?" I ask after a couple of beats
She smiles again "Lorenzo is ten."
Before I can ask how that is possible Les asks "Wait…Marino…" he turns to Gianni studying him "You're the Vice President's son, Right?"
Gianni nods and Sara looks at Lester serious face in place "Santos no" he pouted and she was wearing the Manoso glare to perfection I think it's better than the bosses. He crossed his arms and was actually pouting and she said "you can put all you want" still glaring "you know it don't work on me."
How true that is I can remember when we wanted to go four wheeling one weekend after we got into trouble in school and she said no. Les started to pout and beg and she still said no and said if he begged one more time he would be sorry so he stopped but the pouting continued till she made him go to bed early three hours later and shortly after lunch.
He was still standing there when she turned to Tank and I and said "we will be on 7" and she hugged all three of us and whispered something to the pouting child that made him smile then they were gone.
After we knew it was safe we both turned to tank that sighed and gestured for us to sit before hitting the button to turn off the cameras for the room. He smiles "I am so glad she is back "he frowns "even if it's just temporary."
We frown too and I state "The boys sleeping on the pullout."
Tank nods "her father-in-law and 'unc' are already working on getting her and Gianni full custody." I frown and Tank continued "something happened at her parents' house" he paused "and before you ask 'unc' is the President."
We both nod and we both went back to our offices to get some work done. About an hour later Lester is knocking on my door and I look up and gesture for him to come in. He sits and says I just got a call from the control room Sis is going back over her parents and wants us to come with" he frowns "security?"
I nod and turn off my computer and grab my jacket to cover my guns and we leave my office which I lock behind me. When we get to the control room she smiles at us and says "Dad and mom made me promise to at least take two security if I'm out" she frowns "I sent our guys to a hotel" she pauses "I could call them if you're busy." I stop her by shaking my head but she must see our confusion and says "sorry I my in laws" she smiles "I call them mom and dad."
We both smile and chuckle "it's fine and boss would not want it any other way" says Les. She nods and we all three head down and get in one of the suvs and head to a very familiar house. Two hours later we walk out of the house probably for the last time. We both watch the woman who has always meant the world to us falling apart in the back of the van as we drove back to Haywood.
Tank came bursting out the side garage door as the elevator open and Gianni pulled his devastated wife into his arms. I picked up my phone and called Alfonso's phone.
"Hello"
"Al its Bobby you need to get to Haywood"
"Why what's up" he paused "I have not got any calls from the Boston office my second…"
I cut him off "no it is not business it's Sis" I pause "Um…she went back to your parents."
"Dam"
"Yeah" I sighed "she held out for two hours but then she told them she loved them and wished them the best before walking out and climbing into the van in the back she…she is miserable."
"She is the second oldest and the one that took care off all of you boys, except Estefan, for years" he growled "why can't they see her good side" I heard a car door and a car start "I swear I'm putting them in a nursing home" he growled again "I am on my way" and he hung up.
Tank and Les where both looking at me I said "he is not happy and he is on his way here" I sigh "you know he said something that made so much sense why can't they see the good in her" I growled "or how she is the second oldest and grew up fast to raise all of us."
Tank nodded while frowning and Lester looked about ready to blow. I heard a car at the gate and looked up to see the hummer pulling in.
"What's wrong?" Ranger and Steph asked at the same time. He looked at the boys and said "Jay take Lorenzo up to three and have fun in the game room."
Once the boys where gone Les said "Sara asked Bobby and I to take her back to your parents and it got ugly real ugly before she left she told them both she loved them and wished them the best. She held up till she got into the back of the van then she was a…mess."
"Where is she?"
"On seven" I said "She asked me to call Al so I did he's on his way and he is beyond pissed."
He nodded and we heard Alfonso pulling down the ramp. He parked his cayenne and jumped out and looked to Ranger "I swear I am putting them in a home" then he turned to me "Seven?"
I nodded as Ranger said "best idea yet" they locked eyes and nodded before getting on the elevator heading to his sister.
"We will go play with the boys to keep them occupied for now" Les said motioning between him and me. I nodded "yeah sounds good."
Tank said "Ranger I putt a file on your desk you need to look at and Steph there was a delivery for you it's on your desk."
They both nodded and we all headed to the steps and started up them we separated on three and went to have fun with our brother and to meet and have fun with our nephew.
