AN2: disclaimer: I do not own burn notice though i wish i did..
I blew out a long breath and exited the car, following after Fi, Sam and Jesse behind me. She did not walk much closer to the warehouse thankfully, and hid behind a big delivery truck.
"Fi, what is so important about this girl?" I asked when I reached her.
"Michael.. Michaela is our daughter."
Secrets are a big part of a life in the world of espionage. You learn not be surprised when things unexpected come up. That is kind of hard though when that secret was in place for a very long time and it is a very personal one.
"Ok, Mike, just as shocked as you are, but we need to go save Joseph and Bruce before they get turned into Swiss cheese." Jesse blurted out into the prolonged silence.
"Michael- "
"Not right now, Fiona. Jesse is right." I started to walk back towards the car until I felt her grab my shoulder, pulling me to a halt.
"What about Michaela? You are going to risk your own child's life in order to go save some idiotic guy who got her caught up in this in the first place?" The hurt and anger were evident in her voice.
"Sister, if she is anything like you and Mike she will be fine. It wouldn't be safe for her to try and pull her out of there right now. There is a very high chance she could get caught in the cross fire out here in the open. She can hold her own for now. She will hang in there." Sam said, trying to diffuse the tense situation. The warmth radiating from Fiona's hand on my shoulder was gone suddenly as she pulled away as if burned. She pulled out a gun from her ankle and walked back towards the warehouse, still cautious to stay out of sight.
"Mike-"
"I have to take care of this, Sam, before she does something reckless. You two go. We will catch up." With that, off I went to catch up to my homicidally pissed off girlfriend and apparently the mother of my child.
Michaela limped painfully towards the can she was ordered to go to that was parked just outside the main entrance to the building. She glanced around, taking in all the details of her surroundings. 'Shit. Mom?' She had to keep everyone's attention off of her mother and the people she guessed were her friends. It was going to lead to more pain but it would be worth it. 'Here goes nothing..' Kayla stopped dead in her tracks then spun around fast, her good leg sweeping the legs of the closest man out from under him. She kicked another man square in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Rayez grabbed her throat tightly as the two men scrambled to their feet. Hank, the only other goon besides Rayez that she did not attack, grinned wickedly as the young girl gasped for air.
"Knock it the hell off. Got it, bitch?" She weakly nodded. He didn't let go of he though until she was on the verge of blacking out then punched her in the jaw for good measure. Michaela took deep breaths against the pain of her ribs, to pull air into her oxygen deprived lungs. A gun was shoved into her back signaling her to get moving again or else. She scanned the area quick. No one was around that didn't work for Rayez. They all got away.
Sam pulled up around the back of Hamilton's house. Sure enough he had seen the armored cars out front and the 5 men out front brandishing weapons seemingly looking to be discussing their attack plan.
"We've got a major problem." Jesse said, eyeing the men.
"We better get inside before those guys do." The two quietly got out of the car and got assault weapons from the trunk. Good thing is was Fi's car. Of course it was stockpiled with goodies. Sam dialed Bruce's cellphone.
"We are here. Let us in quietly through the back." Bruce opened the door as soon as Sam hung up. Jesse shut it silently behind them and the 4 gathered in the family room where there were no windows. Joseph was pale as a sheet and Bruce did not seem at all phased.
"You know, for a guy around guns all the time you seem awfully afraid of them." Sam commented to their client.
"Honestly, I just do gun running for the money. I'm not a violence sort of guy. I'm more into illegal substance manufacturing." Jesse rolled his eyes. 'Oh so much better.' Loud shouts were heard from outside along with approaching footsteps.
"Oh god! They are coming! What do we do , man?" Joseph said hurriedly.
"You, go hide somewhere and just keep your mouth shut while we go stop these guys." Sam tossed Bruce a gun before they all rushed upstairs.
When someone is trying to break into your house the safest measure is to try and keep them out. With them outside you will have a much easier time controlling them. Plus less damage to clean up later.
"Is it weird that I actually wish Fi was here to blow something up?" Jesse announced.
"Nah, I'm with you on that brother."
"Fi, slow down!" I hissed, trying not to be heard by anyone else who might be around. That would be pretty impossible though seeing as Kayla distracted them. A painful distraction but still a distraction. Anger bubbled up in me at the thought of the girl who is apparently my daughter being hurt. Fiona finally stopped and spun on her heel, her eyes bearing into mine.
"Don't even bother asking. She is definitely yours. I'm absolutely positive."
"How old is she? What is she doing here? And why didn't you tell me, Fi?" She knew I was mad, I could see it written all over her face. She was silent as she gathered her thoughts. I shifted my weight from my right foot to my left impatiently. I wanted answers. No, I needed them.
AN: This chapter was not as long as i wanted but i did not want to put Mike's whole conversation with Fi in the same chapter because it would have gotten wayy too long. Please review and let me know your thoughts!
