Riley's POVI sat on the dusty forest green couch beside Johnson and waited on the call that would tell us if Jason was dead or alive. It seemed like eternity. An eternity in hell. I slumped over, hanging my head in my hands, and continued to bite back the tears I refused to let fall. I had to be strong… for Jason. Johnsons phone rang and I sat up ramrod straight. He looked over at me warily before pressing talk and bringing the phone to his ear. After a few seconds he hung up the phone. His face was blank. Emotionless.

"Johnson what happened is he alright"

He looked over at me and sighed "hes fine. He was shot three times. All in the shoulder all un-lethal. The cops are holding him in a high security hospital."

I slumped back down on the couch and let the tears that I had been holding back for far too long fall freely down my face.

Jason was okay. Now we just had to get him home and safe.

I shot up off the couch like an arrow shot from a tightly strung bow. I walked over to the drawing board Jason had used to plan the bombing. Taking the thick notepad in my hand I flipped to a new page then looked up at Johnson.

"I have a plan"

Johnson walked over and rolled his eyes "whatever the plan is trash it. He's in a maximum security holding room. No amateur could break into that"

I smirked up at him "you're forgetting im no amateur. Im guessing that even though you didn't tell Jason you know about my past?"

He looked at the floor "yeah I know. Okay give it your best shot but it better work. We only have one shot at this."

I smiled "thank you. Okay im going to need two bombs that can be remote detonated, fake hospital id's, and disguises" he wrote all of it down

"got it ill be back in an hour" he walked over to the door then turned back to shoot me a grin "don't go anywhere"

I smiled back because I knew I still had the key and he didn't know. "not till after we get Jason back" he shook his head and walked out, leaving me alone to plan Jason's escape.

3 hours later

I adjusted my wig as we pulled into the hospital parking lot. I looked over at Johnson and he frowned

"I cant come in with you they know what I look like. This one's all you Ry"

I smirked "wow a few hours ago you called me a whore and now I have a nickname? Imagine that"

He laughed "that's only because your plan is beast. You arent so bad after all"

I smiled and climbed out of the van grabbing the duffel that held all the supplies "glad you think so. See you in twenty Johnson"

He nodded and pulled away. I took a deep breath and headed for the nurse entrance. The bag on my shoulder felt like it weighted a thousand tons when it really only weighed a few pounds. I though about the two bombs hidden securely in the duffel. God please don't let me have to use them.

I walked up to the door and swiped my id card. It swung open and I grinned. Good ole' Johnson. I walked into the hospital and rode the elevator up to the top floor where they were holding Jason. By the time the elevator doors swung open I was sweating bullets. I cant back out now. I have to do this for Jason. I walked over to the big front desk and prayed this worked

The lady sitting at the desk looked up and I gave her my best smile. "hi im the new nurse."

She smiled kindly "you must be Elizabeth Ruth. Oh goodness honey your sweating bullets. You must have found out who you were the nurse for"

I nodded and she reached out to pat my shoulder kindly. "no worries honey he's sedated and should give you no trouble" she lead me over to a room that had tow guards at the door. They checked my name and then moved aside to let me through

The head nurse gave me a gentle shove and shut the door. Well that was easy

I looked over at the hospital bed to see Jason fast asleep. He was shirtless and his right shoulder was wrapped in a white bandage. I walked over and slowly shook his good shoulder. When he didn't move I smirked. This should be a piece of cake. I walked over to the iv machine and hit the red button marked alarm. Then I unplugged a plug so it looked like he was coding. I screamed and the two guards and the nurse came rushing in.

I put on my best fake horrified face "help please I think he's coding"

The nurse and one of the guards raced out of the room to get a doctor leaving me with the biggest guard. I ran over to the sink and pretended to be getting something. When the guard turned his attention away from me I swiftly kicked the back of his knees making him fall to the ground. I stabbed him in the shoulder with the syringe full of sedative the nurse had dropped on her way out. Within thirty seconds he was out cold.

I pushed him out of the way and unlocked Jason's bed, rolling him out of the room and to the back elevator. Once the elevator doors closed I heaved a sigh of relief. I heard a groan and looked down to see Jason's eyes flutter open.

He looked up at me "riley? What the hell is going on"

I smiled "hey McCann nice to see you awake. You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily did you?"

He smiled and I reached down to undo the chains that held him to the bed. He got up just at the elevator doors opened and we raced out the back door to the alley where Johnson was waiting.

The look on Johnson's face when I jumped into the van followed by Jason was priceless.

I looked at him and smirked "I told you it would work. Now get us out of here."

Twenty minutes later we were back at the warehouse. The cops hadn't followed up so we were fine. My plan had worked. Jason was back safe in my arms. And I was never letting him leave again. Not even if it killed me.
