"Are we sure this is the right place?" I looked out around the dark building and Logan sighed.

"This is where Mark text me Kendall. Be patient." I sat back and pulled out my phone. No calls or tests from Beth. Either a good sign or a very bad one. "Elizabeth will call if she needs to. Relax." I nodded and tried calming down but seeing the headlights in the rearview mirror made me jump. "That's him." James and Logan jumped out and I followed slowly. When Mark got out of his car with two other guys he grinned at us.

"You must be Diamond." James nodded and Mark nodded. "Alright boys. What's the big emergency?" I turned to Logan and he sighed.

"Carlos got into some serious trouble. It's worse than what we thought. The guy we want to take care of…he's been selling to Carlos and making him work for him." Mark shook his head and leaned against the front of his car.

"So were working to kill Carlos?" I nodded and again Mark shook his head. "We can't do that can we? I mean…Carlos is family." Logan let out a sigh and nodded.

"We were hoping you'd understand." Mark laughed and I stepped forward.

"We need to take care of this guy tonight. Carlos owes him some money I guess and knows where I live and where my fiancé and daughter live." Mark turned to me and gave a small smile.

"Of course. Family always comes first. You know I never wanted our relationship to end the way it did. I'm sorry I turned into a ridiculous jerk." I smiled and shook my head. I stepped forward and extended my hand.

"It's in the past." We shook and I let go stepping back.

"Alright. It feels good to be back in the business with you two." He sighed and turned to one of his guys. The guy pulled out a phone and gave ti to him. "Okay so we found him. Jeff Dwight. He is actually a pretty important guy. His daddy is a state senator, which means security and protection. But I found out he has a house out in Beverly Hills that he only uses for a "hideout."" He looked up at us and shrugged. "I guess daddy got tired of cleaning up his piece of shit sons mess. That girl he killed…never was heard on the news. Her parents went to the police but the police are getting paid by Senator Dwight to keep their mouths shut." I turned to Logan and he sighed.

"So your telling me no matter what we do, we will most likely fail and defiantly get thrown in prison?" Mark laughed and nodded giving the phone back to the guy. "Awesome." Logan turned away and started pacing.

"what we need to do first is pick up Carlos. He still at your house Kendall?" I nodded. "We need to get him. We need to know as much as we can about this piece of shit. How much ammo he has, how many guys he has. That kind of stuff. SO I'll follow you guys." I nodded and we all turned to get back in our cars. As I got in the passenger seat my phone went off and my heart skipped a beat. I pulled it out and my heart stopped altogether seeing the home number. I answered quickly and closed my eyes.

"Beth?" It was quiet on the other end. I made a with my free hand and opened my eyes. "Beth what's wrong?"

"She left…" It was Carlos's voice. This made em more mad. "Jeff came Kendall…he was looking for me. He was trying to get his money. Beth offered to give him as much as he wanted…" I closed my eyes and shook my head. "But he didn't want the money and put a gun to her head." I heard a harsh breath leave my mouth and noticed people staring at me.

"Kendall…is Beth alright?" I turned to Logan and just stared at him.

"She offered to go if he promised to leave me alone." I feel back in my seat and sighed.

"Where is Hannah?"

"Right here…she's…she's asleep."

"Well be there in two minutes. Don't do anything stupid." I hung up quick and turned to Logan. I made he drive fast and I explained on the way. I kept checking to make sure Mark followed us. As soon as we got in the driveway I jumped up and ran in the house. Carlos jumped up from the couch and turned a nasty shade of green. I saw Hannah in the crib in the middle of the living room sound asleep and sighed quietly.

"Kendall, I tried to stop her…" I walked to him and grabbed him by his shirt. I pulled him out of the house.

"James watch Hannah." James nodded and quickly ran in the house. I shut the front door and forcefully shoved Carlos out onto the grass. "What the fuck were you thinking?!"

"I'm sorry Kendall! She's the one who did it! I didn't force her to leave!" That struck a nerve in my head and I quickly picked him up off the ground. I have never gotten in a fight with Carlos before. Usually it was because he was a lot stronger and a lot angrier than me. But now that Carlos was weak and skinner form the heroin I had the upper hand. So I squeezed my hand into a fist and hti him hard in the side of the face.

"Kendall!" I let go of Carlos and he fell to the ground holding his right eye. I stood over him breathing hard. Logan rushed over and pushed me back. "Calm the fuck down!"

"He let him take her!" Logan pushed me again and I took a step back.

"Carlos you alright?" Carlos rolled onto his back and I saw blood.

"I can't see out of my eye." Logan glared at me and kneeled down next to Carlos. I felt something stinging my hand and looked down. I could tell right away at least one of my knuckles was broken. I sighed and walked to the other side of Carlos. I kneeled down and Carlos looked up at me from his left eye. "I'm sorry Kendall. You know I would never want to do anything to hurt her or you or your daughter." I pushed Logan's hands away from Carlos eyes and could tell one of his blood vessels popped.

"You need to get some water on that. Rinse it out. You can't see because there's so much blood." Carlos swallowed hard and nodded. I could see Logan glaring at me and he raised his eyebrows. "And I'm sorry I hit you." Carlos shook his head and Logan and I helped him up.

"I deserved it. I was a prick to you guys the past few weeks. I'm sorry." I put one of his arms around my neck and Logan did the same. As we walked him up to the house the door flew open and James came out phone to his ear.

"Yeah I'm with him right now….no go…I know that but you need to leave and come back. You're a block away. Just run as best as you can….okay…yeah hold on." He put the phone down and ran out, past us and out onto the street. Mark tried stopping him but James just kept running. I quickly pushed Carlos into Logan and started running after him. Mark told his two guys to stay and he ran after me.

I wasn't sure what I was expecting when James stopped but what I did see could not have made me happier. Although she had a tiny cut on her head, Elizabeth was running to James. When she got to him he quickly put her behind his back and put his phone back to his ear. I looked around his body and saw a car crashed. But I didn't care. Elizabeth was running right towards me and I continued running to her, until our bodies crashed into each other. She wasn't crying. She was saying she was scared she just put her body in my arms and I held her up. I made her look at me and shook my head.

"What the hell were you thinking?" She gasped out and put her forehead don mine.

"Yeah I'm fine. How are you?" I sighed and she smiled. "I was thinking I wanted to protect my family."

"Next time think of yourself first. And think very hard how I will react to the guy who let you leave. She pushed off my forehead and I held her up by her legs. She wrapped them around my body and put her hands on my shoulders.

"what did you do to Carlos?"

"Punched him in the eye." She looked over my shoulder and I turned. Mark was slightly out of breath but smiling.

"Shut up Mark." I turned back to her and she slid down my body. "I was just scared." She rolled her eyes and James walked from behind us.

:we got to get out of here." I heard sirens and started walking holding Beth's hand. "I called the cops, and said there was an accident. What happened Beth?" We turned the corner to get on our street and she sighed.

"Well they were all drunk. It's a fucking miracle I didn't fly through the windshield. The guy driving was swerving bad and he didn't see the car coming at us. We were hit and I was in the middle in the back and just flew forward a bit smacking my head on the middle thing between the driver and passenger seat. I guess they all got knocked out fast, so I got out as I called James."

"Why didn't you call me?" She looked up at me and smiled.

"you weren't answering your phone." I turned away and she squeezed my hand. "How is Hannah?"

"In good hands."

We got back to the house and I saw Abbey's car on the other side of the street. As we walked up, Beth slowed down and saw the blood on the grass and sidewalk. She let go of my hand and sighed.

"seriously Kendall?" She went up the stairs quick and I followed, not getting upset.

Abbey was sitting on the couch, holding Hannah and feeding her. Beth quickly kissed both their heads but went into the bathroom downstairs. I followed her some more telling Abbey thank you and when I got in the bathroom I felt really bad.

Carlos was sitting on the counter, while Logan cleaned up his face. It didn't look like he was bleeding anymore but it looked pretty painful.

"Maybe I'll get to wear an eye patch. Be like a pirate." Carlos nudged Beth but she shook her head.

"Can you see?" Both Logan and Beth turned to me and glared. "I'm just asking."

"Yeah I can see Kendall. And stop getting mad at him alright. I'm not mad so you guys shouldn't be either. And let's all just be happy for the fact the Beth is here safe. Although…" Carlos took a hand towel, wet it and dabbed at her forehead. "Does it hurt?" She shrugged her shoulders and looked down while he wiped her forehead. I moved forward and quickly lifted her up next to Carlos and took the towel form him.

"Kendall!" She gasped and grabbed my right hand. I hissed in pain and she sighed. "You broke your knuckles. These two." Logan sighed and laughed.

"Okay I guess I have to take care of all of you. On the counter Kendall." I laughed and hoped on getting between Carlos and Beth. He sighed and put his hand son his hips. "I really should have been a doctor."
