The next few days were awkward for Casandra and Ryan, she was starting to think that there was something up. She could not chance losing her daughter to a man who keeps putting them in danger.
Ryan had left for the morning, he was off to another one of his meetings that she never could attend. She packed what she could into two suitcases and left the house in a cab. She had no idea what she was going to do but she had to keep Miranda safe from her world.
The motel room that she had got what not at all what she was use to. The paint was peeling off the walls the beds were stained and untidy, and the bathroom smelled the worst of all. She hated exposing her daughter to something like this but it was all she could afford.
"Mommy,why is we here? Where is Ryan?" The two year old asked as she looked up at her mother. The confusion in her daughters eyes was heartbreaking.
Christina sighed. "Well baby we need to hide from Ryan he is in trouble and I do not want you to get hurt." She handed her the bag of toys that she bought with them.
Ryan had got home and they were not there, he thought she might have taken Miranda out for a walk. He took out his cell phone and called Olivia. "Liv, I need you to come to my safe house I emailed you the address. This is more on the files, this is big. Come in about an hour." He hung up the phone and waited for Christina to get home.
An hour had passed and there was still no sign of Christina or Miranda, he knew that she left. He grew a bit frustrated with her as Olivia and the others broke threw the door and pulled him to the ground. Olivia walked over to him. "What is so big? What did you find out?"
He looked up at her and said nothing to her. He could not risk one of the cops being in someones pocket.
They arrived to the station and Olivia took him into her office. "Please tell me what you found out. This is killing me, I have been pulling all that I can and I have found nothing about her."
He nodded and looked away from her. "Olivia I have found out a bit more then I have expected." He sighed. "I do know her, very well."
Olivia looked at him she was a bit confused on what he meant. "Please stop talking in circles."
He nodded. "While she was one of Johnny D's favorites, she was his girlfriend for the longest time. She became his right hand and she was the one the was in charge of the girls and the money." He looked over at her. "She went by Christina until Johnny knocked her up, she knew it was his because she does not hook anymore. So when she got the chance she got away from him and changed her name to Cassandra, she started looking for other means of employment. That is when she came to me, she had her daughter Miranda and needed a way back into all she knew..."
Olivia cut him off. "So I have a granddaughter as well, and she is Johnny D's? Which makes her Noah's biological sister." She sighed.
Declan nodded. "Yes Miranda and Noah would be half-siblings. Liv there is more..." He looked away from her. "She is the main target of my operation... so to get close to her I married her."
Olivia's face dropped. "You need to stop your investigation on her and let me help her, please." She knew that she had a long hot her wanting nothing to do with her but there was a chance. "Where is she?"
He shrugged. "See that is the problem. She was at the safe house, but when I got home today she was gone I have no idea where she went. I am going to keep looking but there is no guarantee that I will find her before Johnny's men do."
"What do you mean? Are they looking for her?" She was now getting a bit worried.
He stood up and walked over to her. "Liv I will do everything that I can to help her and protect her. They have been after her since Johnny died, his mother wants Miranda."
She looked him in the eye. "There is no way she is getting anywhere near my family again." She was now more determined then ever to take her down.
