Abe POV

She left.

We agreed, but damn it. I can't believe she left and took our little Rosemarie with her.

I thought back to the conversation that is still ripping my heart to shreds.

Flashback

"Ibrahim, how are we going to protect her if we can't figure out who is threatening her?" Janine asked.

"I don't know, Janine." I sighed. "But I'll damn sure try."

"What if it's not enough?" She begged.

"It will have to be." I firmly replied. "I'll do whatever it takes to keep you and Rosemarie safe." I promised.

"Whatever it takes?" She asked. I nodded, unsure where she was going with this.

"Then let us go." She simply stated. I seen the silent tears threatening to break past the nearly emotionless mask she held. As much as she hates it, it's times like these when I'm grateful that she's always been easy for me to read - like an open book, as the expression says.

Her eyes are telling me everything that she doesn't want to say. She doesn't want to do this, but it's truly for the best. It's the only way to keep our Rosemarie safe until I find out who is behind the threats. After several minutes of tense silence, I speak.

"Okay." I sighed in defeat as I pulled Janine into a hug.

Silent tears fell from my eyes as I vowed to exact revenge whoever is responsible for the loss of my family.
