Dean didn't care who got in his way, he shot them dead. Stepping over their lifeless bodies. If you were in the house, you were associated with the woman who took the loves of his life.
Getting to the steps. Veronica and Nikki came around the corner. Nikki reloaded.
"You take the left side of the hall and I take the right. Garza is mine", Dean said.
Veronica and Nikki nodded. Seth and Bayley going through cell phones trying to find any traces of Raya.
Roman had Dean's back as they made their way up. When Dean tried to pop his head around the corner, someone shot at him.
Dean leaned back against the wall.
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Honestly, I'm hoping you pick the hard way. I like a challenge.", Dean shouted.
Roman chuckled.
"I can't let you take her. Raya, she needs her", Angel shouted back.
"You're an idiot. She left you here to die. She knew there was a chance we would find her, so she's letting you take the fall. She….", suddenly Veronica froze.
"Ron?", Dean asked, noticing the look on her face.
She quickly pulled her phone out.
"She knew we would come for Brie", she said.
"Melina", Nikki said, turning around and running downstairs.
Veronica called her dad, but got no answer. Her heart was beating so fast.
"See Garza, she didn't even want my woman. Her plans were never to take my twins", Dean shouted, as Veronica kept calling.
"Come on. Answer.", Veronica mumbled.
"Let her go and we will walk out of here. We will leave you be", Dean shouted.
Angel swallowed.
"Fine", he shouted back.
"Nikki, did you get ahold of dad?", Veronica asked.
"Not yet.", she shouted back.
Roman could see how worried his wife was.
"Alright, she's going", Angel shouted down the hall.
Dean took a peek and saw Brie holding her hands up and walking towards him. She caught his eye and smiled.
"Hi baby, told you I would come for you", he smirked.
Tears welling up in her eyes. When she reached him, he wrapped his arms around her the best he could.
He sighed.
"I am so happy to see you", she whispered.
He kissed the side of her head.
"Me too", he replied.
"Now leave. Go. No one will follow.", Angel shouted.
"Are you really going to leave him alive?", Brie asked.
Dean chuckled and winked. She smirked. When they got downstairs, they could hear Andrade on the phone leaving a message for Melina.
"Mel, please call me back. Text me. I don't care how you reach me, just do. Please", he said.
"Still no answer?", Veronica asked.
Andrade, Baron, and Nikki shaking their heads no.
"We have to get home. Now", Bayley said, leaving the house.
"Bombs set up?", Roman asked Seth, who couldn't stop worrying about Bayley.
Roman nudged his brother and Seth focused. He nodded.
"Sorry. Yes, all set up", he replied.
"Go on, go check on her", Roman said to him.
Seth nodded and followed after Bayley. Dean handed Brie the trigger. She smiled. They made sure the house was locked up tight. No one could get out.
"Quickly", Ronnie said to Brie, before getting in the car and driving away.
As much as she wanted to enjoy this moment, she couldn't. Her sister and nephew could be in serious danger.
As she drove away with Dean, Brie pressed the trigger. Bombs going off and the house was suddenly in flames and falling apart.
"Step on it", Dean said to Baron.
They had to get to the jet, then to Mexico. No one wanted to say it out loud. Worried the worst had happened.
They made sure their guns were loaded. As much as Dean didn't want to leave Brie alone, he knew he had to help his future sister in law and nephew.
Nikki handed Brie a gun.
"Just in case.", Nikki winked.
Brie smirked and nodded. They finished the drive to the house and it was too dark.
The sisters just wanted to jump out and run inside to find their older sister and dad. To make sure they were okay.
They knew better.
"Keep calm ladies", Dean whispered.
The three women gripped their funs tighter. Once parked and off, the front door was broken after being shot through.
Glass on the floor and dead men on the floor. Theirs and men they assumed worked for their mom.
"I'll check dad's office", Veronica whispered.
Roman followed right behind her along with Baron. Andrade couldn't take it anymore, he made his way to the back to his house.
Seth and Bayley followed. Nikki made her way upstairs. Slowly and carefully. Rooms were trashed, the hall had a body on the floor bleeding out.
No one was here. She made her way down, finding her sister and brothers in law in her dad's office.
"Dad's phone is still here.", Veronica said, as soon as she saw Nikki.
"The place is trashed.", Nikki said.
Veronica pulled up the cameras footage. Andrade, Bayley, and Seth walked in.
"The house is trashed, but no sign of Mel", Andrade said.
They watched the footage. Their dad and sister had quickly made their way out to the cars and drove off.
A few minutes later, their mom pulled up with her men.
"So they are okay?", Andrade asked.
"Looks like it", Seth said.
"Our only question is, where did they go?", Veronica asked.
Dean's phone went off, Brie was calling him.
"Babe, what's up? You okay?", he asked.
"Yes, my dad called. He took Mel to the hospital. She went into labor. He said he forgot his phone and so did Mel.", Brie explained.
Andrade sighed. Bayley squeezed his shoulder.
"Hold tight, we will pick you up", Dean said.
Everyone made their way out. Bayley could pull up the rest of the footage on her computer.
Making it to the hospital in time for Andrade to see his son come into the world. Everyone else waited in the lobby.
Veronica was pacing. Roman stopped her.
"What?", she asked.
"We will get her. I promise.", Roman said.
"I don't know what she is up too, and that worries me. She got Brie, she could have gotten Mel. We need to get her, now", Ronnie said.
"Speaking of Brie, what do we do about Charlotte?", Roman asked, changing the subject.
"Kill her. She's a threat to my sister and the babies.", Veronica shrugged.
Roman chuckled.
"But I understand, deal with the situation closer to home.", Veronica added.
"Exactly", he nodded.
Andrade came out. Their dad stood and smiled.
"You can all come back and meet the new addition", he said.
Everyone followed. Mel was holding her son and smiling so big. Veronica wondered if she would ever get to experience that, or put it on hold because of her mother.
Roman wrapped his arms around her.
"What's little man's name?", Dean asked.
Melina smiled.
"Julian Andrade Almas Garcia", Melina said.
Each sister got to hold him and kiss him.
"You did good sis", Veronica said to Mel, sitting beside her as their dad held his first grandbaby.
Melina smiled.
"You know what I was thinking about once they laid him in my arms?", Melina asked.
"What?", Ronnie replied.
"I could never dream of not loving him as much as I do.", she said.
Ronnie looked at her. Knowing this was about their mom.
"Do you think she loved us? Even just a little?", she asked.
Mel looked at her sadly and shook her head no.
"I mean, apart of me wants to say yes, but…", Mel stopped.
She looked at her son.
"I know", Ronnie said.
Mel knew she loved her son more than anything or anyone. She couldn't help but wonder if her mom felt the same, even just for a second.
Once visiting hours were over, everyone made their way to the empty cafeteria. They couldn't go home to discuss their next moves. Not knowing if Raya planted something.
Brie was sleeping comfortably in a empty hospital room her dad got her.
"So then its settled. We take care of Charlotte first, then push our plans to get Raya.", Dean said.
"We are, you aren't", Seth said.
"What? No, not fair. Charlotte is my problem to deal with", Dean said.
"You've got my sister to worry about. I would feel better knowing she has you.", Ronnie said.
"Also because she is due any moment. Remember, she is having twins", Nikki added.
Dean sighed, but nodded. If you asked him, we would feel better staying with Brie too.
"Call me before you kill her. I want to say goodbye", Dean smirked.
"Will do", Roman replied.
Ronnie looked at Bayley and Seth.
"I want you two on Raya duty. I want her found. Pay a pretty penny to the right person, we might just get some good information", Ronnie said.
Seth and Bayley nodded. Veronica felt a bit off, excusing herself to the bathroom. Locking her stall, she removed her pants. A bit of blood covered her underwear.
Hearing the bathroom door open.
"Veronica?", Roman asked.
She flushed, wrapping a bit of toilet paper around the stains. Walking out, she washed her hands.
"Everything okay?", he asked.
She bit her lip and looked at him through the mirror.
"Fine. Just tired.", she said softly.
He nodded and held his hand out to her. She took it and they walked out.
"I'm going to say goodnight to Mel", she said.
He nodded and watched her walk down the hall. Something was up with her.
Getting to Mel's room, Andrade was sleeping. Mel was watching her son sleep. She smiled at Ronnie.
"Can't get enough of him", Mel said.
Veronica bit her lip.
"What is it?", Mel asked, knowing her sister.
"I think, I…", Ronnie stopped.
Mel sat up more.
"I have blood on my underwear, and, I know its not from my period because…", Ronnie stopped.
"You had a miscarriage", Melina said.
"I think so, I mean, I am not completely sure I was pregnant. I didn't have a chance to take a test, but…", she stopped again.
Melina nodded, taking her little sister's hand.
"I'm sorry baby", Melina said, pulling her sister into her arms.
"Should I tell him?", Ronnie whispered.
"Yes. He will understand. These things happen", Melina replied.
"But what if its because of me? I mean, look what I've been up to the last few days. It could have been me", Veronica said.
"Its not. Okay.", Melina said.
Veronica nodded.
"I love you, and you will get the chance to be a mom some day.", Melina said.
"Love you too", Ronnie whispered.
Veronica went over to her nephew and kissed his little cheek.
"See you in a few days", Mel said.
Ronnie nodded.
