The spice shop…
"Nick I got your call, you sounded upset. What's going on?" Monroe asked as Nick was helping in a distraught Adalind into spice shop. Rosalee was their to with the Triplets who were asleep and she approached Adalind with great concern.
"Are you ok? What the hell is going on?" Rosalee helped her to a chair and she was still crying.
"Renard came and took Diana, Kelly and the Twins." Nick said with a shaky tone. Monroe approached Nick and put his hands onto Nick's shoulders and Rosalee triee comforting Adalind with a hug.
"That son of a bitch, Nick I promise whatever you need we will do our best to help you." Rosalee nodded in agreement with Monroe and she brought Adalind into the other room where the Triplets were sleeping.
"I need her to stay as calm as she can be, so can you keep her near the Triplets, it might help. Right now I need to find out if there is some sort of way to find Renard with that staff." He pushed past Monroe who was looking rather confused. Should Nick be using the staff? Is it safe? And could it be dangerous to use?
"Hey Nick wait, is using that staff a really good idea?" Monroe was now standing in front of him and regretted it instantly. Nick looked at him and his eyes were brooding with anger and despair.
"I don't care, I only want to get my kids back and to make that asshole suffer. Now get out of my way." He was now breathing heavily and Monroe could sense his anger before he backed away. Nick went down to the basement leaving his friends and grieving wife.
"Adalind can you walk me through what happened." Rosalee was trying to comfort her and get a better understanding of the situation but her vision was locked on the Triplets and she was ignoring her. Adalind was trying really hard not to just drop onto the ground in pain. The loss of her children felt like she had died 4 times over.
"Adalind!" Suddenly she was snapped for her daze and looked at Rosalee who looked extremely worried.
"I uh… heard a knock on the door and when I answered it a women called Elizabeth was there." Rosalee was hit with a sudden shock, a women named Elizabeth who is associated with Renard.
"Wait wait! You said Elizabeth as in Shaun's mother Elizabeth?" suddenly it clicked, she thought she recognized who it was at the door.
"But why would she want to take my children away from me?" Adalind asked which made Rosalee think hard. Why indeed, she thought to herself.
"I mean if she wanted to see Diana she would only have to call, but all my children, it makes no sense." Rosalee nodded and tried to make sense of what was going on.
"Maybe she thought they were only going after Diana but Renard had different plans?" Adalind saw sense in this but there was one minor detail that she had overlooked.
"But why would she want to kidnap Diana anyway? Unless… He must've lied about why he couldn't see Diana anymore." Quickly Adalind stood up and began pacing angrily around the room.
"That lying, cheating, horrible thing. When I find him I'm gonna…" Adalind was gritting her teeth and Rosalee was watching her with both worry and understanding. Monroe was just keeping his distance to ensure he didn't startle her.
Nick was reading through every book he had that talked about the staff. He was speeding through them whilst also carefully analysing the words. Nothing in the books said anything about locating people. He slammed his fist into the table and picked up the staff.
"Why can't you help me get my kids back!" After those words Nick was no longer in the spice shop, he was in his house looking at Adalind who was on the phone talking… with him.
"What the hell is going on?" He said out loud but it didn't seem like Adalind could hear him. Nick took a look at the staff and shock was in his eyes.
"Are you showing me this?" He couldn't believe what he was seeing, with the staff he supposed anything is possible. The door knocked and he watched Adalind walk up to it and answer.
"Wait, Shaun's Mom? Is this…" Suddenly he watched Adalind get a needle jabbed into her arm. He moved up to hit Elizabeth but his fist went straight through her body. He had no clue what was going, was he just a spectator in this sick event that took place to his wife. Then Nick watched as Shaun walk through the door and anger purged his body. He wanted to just lunge at him and tear his throat out.
"This was tonight, why are you showing me this?" He watched his daughter get knocked out then his son being carried over his shoulders then the Twins. The powerlessness to do anything weighed on him dearly and he was cursing the staff for showing it to him. The pain of watching his children be taken destroyed him.
But then what he saw next brought his faith back as he saw the car they got in. He quickly read the license plate before it dashed off in the distance. Then he was back in the spice shop and he gasped heavily before almost collapsing.
"Nick are you ok?" Monroe asked as he was walking down to the basement after hearing smashing. He saw Nick trying hard not to fall on the floor and he ran to steady him.
"The staff did something. It showed me what happened with Renard before I made it home." Nick was looking shocked at the staff as it lay down on the floor. Monroe couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"It can do that! How come it didn't show you where they are now?" Nick shook his head and remembered the license plate he saw and wrote it down.
"I saw the car Renard and the women he was with got in, this is the plate." Nick knew now that his children were only a step away from him. Monroe was thinking about what Adalind and Rosalee were talking about before and figured it best to ask Nick about it.
"What was that Women like, in the vision thing the staff showed you?" Nick was trying to remember the situation and it caused him pain but he recalled it all the same.
"She… wanted Diana but the others were Renards idea. Clearly he wanted to hurt me but she was only interested in Diana and it seemed like she felt bad even for that." Monroe nodded and picked up the staff from the floor.
"Yeah the girls figure that Renard had been lying to her about Diana and you two. It makes sense I think." Nick pulled out his phone and called Wu, he needed to find Renard before he left the country with his children.
"Hey Wu I need you to run this plate, it's Renards… yeah I'll stay on the line just please be quick." He waited for a short moment before Wu came back on the line.
"This car belongs to an Elizabeth Lascelles and most recently was seen parked outside the fast food Restaurant by a Motel called Harriot's Motels." Nick put down the phone and ran upstairs to Adalind.
When he got upstairs he saw Adalind speaking on her phone and tears were flowing as she was thanking the person she was speaking too.
"Kelly baby is that you! Oh my god! I love you honey, Mommy and Daddy are gonna be there soon I promise."
Nick looked at her with confusion as she put down the phone and she looked at Nick.
"That was Elizabeth. She just told me where our kids are and she had Kelly with her." Adalind was smiling as she stood up wiping away her tears.
"Yeah i know where they are too but why did she tell you?" Nick asked as he approached her and gave her a hug.
"She told me that Renard is becoming violent and unpredictable. And apparently they were only to get Diana because she thought that what we did was, threaten to kill Renard for no reason unless he left Diana alone." Nick's jaw clenched as he thought of the bad things he was going to do to him.
"I'm gearing up and then we are going to get our babies back, I promise honey. I promise." she kissed him before he went down stairs.
40 minutes ago at the motel...
Elizabeth was trying to calm down Kelly who was crying on the chair in the corner of the room. She felt extremely bad about this, they had taken this innocent young boy away from his loving family.
"I want my Mommy and Daddy!" Kelly began kicking the chair which was creating a loud thudding noise. Shaun was clearly losing his patience as he stood up and raced towards Kelly.
"You better shut your mouth or you'll never see your Mom or Dad ever again, you understand?" Shaun was very serious but Kelly didn't care and he kicked him In his face. He then wooged trying to threaten frighten him and Elizabeth intercepted him before he could get too close.
"Son of bitch, he's already a Grimm." This shocked Shaun, he never expected that and he laughed as he changed back to his normal face. Elizabeth was pushing him back and looking him deeply in his face showing him she's serious.
"Don't get any ideas, you've taken this too far as it is. Just because he can see already doesn't mean he's a threat." Shaun nodded and pulled a long face as he turned back to Diana who was still unconscious.
"I need to take him for food. And the Twins they need proper baby food else they'll starve." Elizabeth was grabbing a hold of the Twins and took Kelly's hand who at first struggled but eventually followed.
"Leave the Twins here. If your not back in 20 minutes then don't come back at all, understand?" She couldn't believe what She was hearing and seeing at this point. Shaun looked at her with a serious expression and his eyes slowly fixed on her.
"Yeah Shaun I understand." She put the Twins down gently and picked Kelly up.
"Wait one second. Leave your phone here." Now he was crossing the line but She obeyed for now biding her time. Then she left the room and began walking to the car. Although she left the room she could feel the evil aura oozing out of the room and she felt fear for her Granddaughter and Nick's children.
She made her way to the closest fast food restaurant and parked up in straight view of a camera. When she left the car she took Kelly out with her as they approached a payphone. She dialed in some numbers and waited for an answer.
"Hello is this Adalind? I am very sorry about what happened, it wasn't supposed to be like this. We were suppose to get Diana but Renard is clearly bent on revenge against you. But I sense he was lying about his reasons so he could get me on his side. I thought so, but he has become dangerous and unpredictable. Kelly and the Twins need their mother and father and Diana needs her real father, Nick. We're at the Harriot motel room 9 be there soon and I've got someone here who wants to talk." Elizabeth handed the phone over to Kelly who snatched it from her quickly.
"Mommy! I'm ok but the man is really mean. But the lady has been nice. Please come and get us soon." Elizabeth picked Kelly back up and put the phone down. She made her way back to the jeep and drove back to the motel.
Soon they would come and hopefully they will spare her. But she knows what a mother's wrath is like and god only knows what the Grimm will do. As she pulled up in the driveway she turned to face Kelly.
"Ok you cannot mention that you've just talked to your mom. He would be very mad at you and me and we don't need that especially since your parents will be here soon." Elizabeth took a deep breath before exiting the car with Kelly.
