Basement of the spice shop:
Nick was looking through all the weapons he had and Adalind was standing behind him watching. He grabbed the double sided axe and pulled out a vial which had a green liquid inside labelled 'ZauferMörder'. Monroe saw what he was using as Nick laced his axe with it.
"That is some heavy stuff man, I can smell it from here." He said as he covered his nose and backed away slightly. Adalind knew what he was using would cause Renard to be in extreme pain and didn't care in the slightest. Nick put the axe down and then began filling arrowhead tips with the same liquid. As he screwed them back on Adalind came up close to him and touched his back.
"Nick I know that she helped him but Elizabeth told us where they are and I think she deserves a chance to know her Granddaughter." She was almost beging Nick not to hurt Elizabeth because she knew what he could be like when he loses control.
"As long as she doesn't get in my way she has nothing to fear." Nick was very sincere and she hugged him tightly as he screwed the last arrowhead on.
"Thank you, baby." Adalind now picked up Nick's axe and handed it to him. He grasped it tightly as he strapped the crossbow on his side. Next he eyed the staff and picked it up, he took a deep breath as he felt his anger turn to confidence and determination. With this staff he was unstoppable and it was exactly what he needed to get his family back.
"I'm ready to go. Is anyone coming with me? But just a warning, it will get messy." Adalind moved quickly up to him and grasped his arm and she looked at him.
"I want my babies back and I'm gonna be there to take them." Nick smiled at her then looked at Monroe and Rosalee.
"Nick you have been my friend for many years now. You have done so much for me that i could never fully repay you. So of course I'll help you, on one condition." He looked at him and knew what he was about to say. He gestured for him to finish his words.
"Can I use the Elephant gun?" Nick laughed as much as he could given the situation and nodded at him. Monroe looked like a child at Christmas when he loaded up the gun and swung it over his shoulder.
"Ok, time to get my children back." Nick said as they left the spice shop and made their way to the Motel.
Harriot's Motel…
"Sean, I'm back!" Elizabeth said as she walked through the door. He was looking down at the Twins, a smile was on his face as he put his hand on one of their heads.
"They're asleep. It took them awhile but they did." Elizabeth had a look of extreme dread on her face. She knew exactly what that meant and hoped Adalind would get their soon.
"You fool, they haven't fallen asleep they've passed out because they haven't eaten!" She pushed past him and she shook them so they would wake. When they did they instantly started crying and she picked them both up.
"If you know this then why didn't you get them food? Isn't that what you went out for? But you've come back with no baby food or no take-out wrappers." Elizabeth knew now that it was not safe for her to be there.
"Put down those babies right now Mother." Renard got closer to her and She kept backing away from him.
"Even if you don't put them down in still gonna do what I'm about to do." This scared her completely, what did he mean by that. She no longer recognized what once used to be her son all she saw was a sadistic man who would hurt children to get what he wants.
Elizabeth decided that the Twins well-being was far more important than her own, so she set then down in the carrier. She sighed deeply and waited what ever was next.
Suddenly he grabbed her by the throat and he wooged. Lifting her up high she began to choke. Kelly saw this and became enraged as he ran towards Renard. He began furiously punching away at his leg but was stopped instantly when Renard kicked him strongly across the room.
"What did you do Mother? Did you what call Nick and told him where we were is that It?" Elizabeth knew if she said yes then Renard would take all the children and leave before Nick could get there. So she shook her head and with that Renard let her go.
He grabbed her by the scruff of her top and pressed her against the wall. She was utterly terrified at this point and didn't know what to do.
"If your lying to me… you don't want to know what I'll do." Shaun said to her as he backed away from her.
"No please, do tell I'm rather interested." Renard swung his head back and in shock he saw Nick standing there with the staff in his hand. Instantly Renard threw a punch at Nick which he flawlessly doged and then brought a jab into his ribs.
He brought the staff down on him which created a shockwave and sent him to the ground. As Nick circled Renard on the floor he looked at him angrily he wanted to kill him so much that he didn't even notice what was being said to him.
"Daddy! Daddy!" His attention snapped to Kelly who was prying at him for attention.
"Hey bud come here." He tightly hugged him and kissed his forehead. Kelly had a giant smile on his face and when Adalind entered he was ecstatic
"Mommy!" He ran to her and She dropped down to hug him and now she was reunited with her first son. Nick brought his attention to Elizabeth who was coughing as her back was pressed against the wall.
"Nick, you need to tell Adalind that she needs to feed the Twins they're starving. And Diana's on the bed still unconscious." Nick ran over to Diana and looked at her.
"Diana, sweety, wake up." He was shaking her strongly trying to get her up. Suddenly Nick felt a sharp pain in his back as he turned and saw Renard.
"Don't touch my daughter." Nick headbutted him and he dropped on the floor.
"She's not your daughter anymore you son of a bitch." Nick pulled a crossbow bolt from his waist and then he sunk it into Renards leg.
"She's called Diana Burkhardt." Suddenly Renard began screaming in agony. The pain from the ZauferMörder was coursing through his entire body. Nick reached around to where the pain was coming from and he pulled a large knife out.
"aghh asshole." The wound began pouring with blood and he felt light headed. Adalind was busy with the Twins which is why she didn't notice the knife but When she saw him falling on his knees and a pool of blood coming from him she instantly ran to him.
"Nick oh shit! No no no, this isn't happening. Monroe! Get here!" Quickly he came through the door and saw Nick on the floor and Renard.
"Nick! Holy crap he's losing too much blood." Adalind was pressing his wound strongly but the blood kept on seeping through every gap.
Monroe had a genius idea and he grabbed the staff. Adalind saw what he was doing and backed off really quickly. He pressed the staff on the wound and waited for something to happen.
Elizabeth approached watching in curiosity as Monroe pressed the staff on Nick's wound. After some silent moments passed the group were astonished to see that it worked.
"How did you? That is astonishing. But he's still on the floor so is he ok?" Elizabeth couldn't even fathom what she was seeing. How was something like that even possible? She thought.
Sometime later…
The long night had passed and Nick had stayed unconscious all through it. Adalind was worried sick for him as was everyone else and they were all sat at his bedside. They had taken him back home so he could wake up in a familiar place.
Diana had woken up since then and barely left Nicks side as did Kelly, they were all very worried. Elizabeth had apologised several times over and was forgiven, Adalind offered her the opportunity to see her Granddaughter whenever she wanted as long as she stayed in Portland, so she was close.
Renard was taken away by a clean up crew of HW who had barged in after Nicks little fight with Renard. They had told Adalind to give Nick the phone they gave her and call them once. But she decided there was time for that later on, she wanted some quality family time when he came to.
Nick began to regain his consciousness slowly, his vision was blurred and he felt dizzy. He heard muffled voices and when his vision finally cleared he saw his family and friends surround him.
"What's going on? Is it Christmas?" The room filled with laughter and Adalind leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"Thank you Nick. If it wasn't for you our babies would be in Russia or Germany by now." Nick pulled her into a hug and then he saw Diana and Kelly.
"Oh my beautiful children come here" he tackled them and began tickling them. They giggled playfully as they balled up.
"Daddy stop" Diana asked then Nick pulled her close and kissed her forehead and did the same with Kelly.
"Nick I just want to say, thank you for getting there when you did, I probably would have died. Also the ZauferMörder was a nice touch." Elizabeth said as she looked over at Diana who was still in Nick's arms. She thought of the difference between her son and Nick, clearly Nick was much better and she was glad that Diana was in the right place with the right family.
"Who wants some breakfast?" Rosalee asked and everyone nodded in agreement. Elizabeth followed Rosalee down and Adalind was going to join but went up to Nick first.
"HW gave me this phone and said for you to phone once. It's about Renard." She kissed Nick one last time before she followed the other girls downstairs with Diana in tow. Nick looked at the phone and decided to dial the number. Monroe, Hank and Wu decided to leave him alone for a moment knowing that the conversation could turn sour.
"Burkhardt here. Wait you have Renard? Are you asking me what I want done with him? If he's still alive then that means he must be in agony still. Then just put him out of his misery, there's no recovering from what I gave him." The phone hung up and Nick looked again at the phone.
"Nick c'mon get ya butt down here, were having fun." He stood up and approached the window and threw the phone out of it. It smashed into pieces on the ground and he made his way down stairs, one less threat in the world.
