The Fight To Reunite

Last line of previous chapter: Zara looked up at them and looked them all in the eye and said, "That's because he's my son."

Chapter Two - How!?!?!

James, Lauren and Rats eyes all widened and gaped at her, which made Zara feel very uncomfortable sitting in front of them. Rat was the first to break the silence.

"But how!?" he asked unable to digest the last thing Zara had told them. Zara wasn't sure how to answer him, she wasn't even sure if she wanted to anymore but she had already started so there was no going back now.

Zara looked at him then back down to her lap like she was ashamed, she knew she shouldn't be, as she hadn't done anything wrong, there was nothing she could of done at the time.

"I was 23 when I met Brian" she said in thought trying to recollect her past, "I worked at a police station as I wanted to work for MI6 but I didn't want to attract to much attention by just starting there so I went and applied to be a police woman and to work my way up, also I wanted the experience. I started as soon as I left cherub in 1988. I worked there for five years but didn't work up very far and was on the verge of giving up the idea of experience and just go for MI6 or even go back to cherub and get a job being a mission controller or something like that. But then I met Brian. He was a lot different back then or at least acted a lot different to get what he wanted. He was handsome, kind and didn't have that cold vibe about him like he does now looking at that photo. We hit it of instantly and were together for about a year when I fell pregnant with his child."

Tears started falling down Zara's cheeks as she was retelling her story.

"I was in love with him and trusted him so much that I was blind, he used to go out and just say things like he was meeting up with his friends and I believed him when really he was with either another woman or dealing and doing drugs. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in on the 14th July 1994, I called him Danny. He had my emerald green eyes and his fathers black hair I thought that life was perfect. A year and a couple of months later Brian started getting more distant and sarcastic like he didn't want Danny or me. He used to ignore me and yell at me. He even hit me once…"

"Son of a…." James whispered under his breath. He was really starting to hate this Brian guy. But Zara cut him of when he could finish his statement.

"…I was scared." Zara carried on "I didn't no what to do then one day I came home from work and he had Danny in the car crying with all there things in suitcases."

Zara was starting to get even more and more upset as the story went on unable to catch her breath.

"He said I was worthless and just used me to get him a son to inherit his drug dealing business which he said one day would become huge. I was shocked and upset. I didn't want him to leave me but I knew there was no stopping him but I begged him to not to take Danny away from me I was on my knees crying my eyes out begging him not to take him away but he just hit and kicked me, got in the car and drove of. I haven't seen Danny since and I miss him so much."

At the end of Zara's story she was sobbing uncontrollably into her hands, she didn't want to break down in front of them but she just couldn't hold it in. Lauren without a second though got up, ran to Zara and gave her a hug to try and calm her down. James and Rat just looked at each other it was unbelievable what Zara went through and none of them new how she must have been feeling, but they believed it must have been awful like having your heart physically ripped out. Rat felt really bad for Zara and wanted to try and cheer her up somehow even though that would be a hard thing to do but he gave it a try.

"Don't worry Zara we'll teach that asshole who's boss wont we James" said Rat with a voice of hope.

James smiled at Rat "Coarse we will, we'll kick that dickheads big arse, get him thrown in jail and bring Danny back for you safe and sound without a scratch on his pretty little face". Zara looked up at James and Rat still in an embrace with Lauren, eyes damp and red from her sobbing.

"Though," James continued with a mischievous grin on his face "you might have competition with Danny as I saw Lauren completely drooling over that picture of him." Rat burst out laughing and gave James a high five. There plan to cheer up Zara worked to as she smiled and gave a small chuckle, but Lauren just turned bright red and let go of Zara.

"I was not!!!" she yelled at the two giggling boys "stop lying its not funny!"

James and Rat couldn't help their selves they were laughing so much they could hardly breath.

"Oh come on Lauren it was sooo obvious besides don't you even thing he's a bit good looking?" teased Rat.

Lauren went even redder and didn't say anything and she suddenly decided that her shoes were the most interesting things just then. This just made the boys laugh even more as it was obvious that she liked him but wouldn't admit it and they just love winding Lauren up. This was Zara needed to see, friendly Banta between friends. She just smiled as she watched them.

"Ok guys I think you've had your fun now, leave Lauren alone" Zara said.

As Zara suddenly spoke all three turned to look at her to see if she was ok. Zara smiled again at all of them knowing what was going through there heads. "I'm fine guys seriously," she said. She grabbed 3 booklet looking things and gave one to each agent, "these are you mission briefs which you all know what they are but Rat, you and I have to have our hair died blondelike those two so Brian doesn't recognise me and so you fit in with the rest of us."

All three agents nodded, understanding what they were needed to do.

"We leave in a week so until then ill see you later" Zara Smiled at the teenagers who just smiled back and left the room.

Zara felt like she had a massive weight taken of her shoulders and even though James and Rat were just trying to cheer her up beforehand she believed they meant what they said and at the end of it she would be able to ring Danny home and they would be reunited once more, or at least she hoped so.

"Don't worry Danny wherever you are," Zara whispered to herself, "ill find you."
