Dean-
Now that we knew who the other two are, the guys were packing and getting ready to go. Lucia squeezed my hand.
"They'll be okay", she said.
"I know, I just wish I was going with them. I should be there", I said.
"Not while you're hurt, I'm doing this to keep you safe", she said.
I looked at her.
"I should be the one keeping you safe. I'm the man, protecting you is my job and I couldn't even do that", I said, pointing to my side.
She placed her hands on my cheeks.
"You did keep us safe. You gave yourself up to Sheamus so Ben and I could walk out unharmed. Now it's my turn to keep you safe and alive. I need you Jon, Ben needs you", she said.
I rested my forehead against hers.
"I love you darlin", I said.
She smiled.
"I love you too", she said.
The guys finished packing the car and they all got in.
"Call when you land. Good luck", Lucia said.
They drove off and we walked back into the house. Ana was walking around with Ben in her arms. I smiled and took him from her.
"Take the rest of the day off Ana, thank you", I said.
She nodded and left. Lucia took off her heels.
"Have you checked on your friend Denise? Make sure she's comfortable and has what she needs", Lucia said.
I nodded and took Ben with me to find her. She was still in the meeting room. She was looking at all the files and names on the list.
"It's a lot to take in, I know", I said.
She looked up at me.
"Jon", I stopped her.
"It's Dean here", I said.
"Fine, Dean, before I was kidnapped, Stephanie and Renee called me in for a meeting", she said.
I shrugged.
"The meeting was about you and the guys. You disappeared on them remember, you are wanted men", she said.
"We knew that was coming", I said, kissing the side of Ben's head.
"So what happens when they notice I'm gone? That I didn't show up for that meeting?", she asked.
"We can get you back to Florida tonight, relax", I said.
"I can't leave", she said.
"Why not?", I asked.
"Colby is here. If I go back, I will never see him again and", she stopped.
"You like him, I knew it", I said excited.
She rolled her eyes.
"Don't make a big deal out of it", she said.
She came closer and held her hands out.
"Can I hold him?", she asked.
I nodded and handed her Ben.
Roman-
Landing in Tokyo, Japan, we met up with Hideo Itami. Sami told him something in Japanese and Hideo nodded, welcoming us. His team had set up at the hotel across from Alexa's.
"So how are we doing this?", Seth asked.
"You guys take Rhyno and us girls will handle Alexa and Zahra", Paige said.
"Doesn't that mean that at least two of you will have to come with us? Zahra won't leave Rhyno's side", Swagger said.
"He's right", Sami agreed.
"Then Nattie and I can go with you. Carmella, Charlotte, and Sasha will go after Alexa. If you don't mind ladies", Paige said.
"I've been dying to get my hands on Emma and Dana, if I have to go through Alexa to get to her, then so be it", Charlotte said.
"I get her first", Carmella said, rolling her eyes at Charlotte.
Charlotte shook her head.
"Whatever", she said.
"Sasha, you?", Nattie asked.
"I want Dana", Sasha said.
"Well get in line", Charlotte said standing.
Sasha was going to step up to her, but Nattie stood and got in between them.
"Maybe it's better if Sasha comes with us", Nattie said.
Paige nodded.
"It's settled then. Paige, Nattie, and Sasha are coming with us", I said.
"I'll be watching from the roof of our hotel. Hideo do you have the room number?", he asked.
Hideo nodded and told him. Sami figured out which window was Rhyno's. Graves will be parked out front in case they got away. Jack will be in the back of the hotel. Seth and I had agreed we would have to knock on his door to get him to come out.
"He only comes out if he needs to. If your lucky, he usually sends Zahra to fetch what he needs", Hideo said.
I nodded.
"Sasha and Paige will come with us. Nattie we are going to need you to watch the elevators", I said.
"Of course", she said.
"Why don't we just walk in and shoot up the place like you did in London?", Sasha asked.
"Because right now, I'm running this team. At least till Dean comes back. So we do this my way or you could get lost", I said.
"I don't like your attitude and you better get out of my face. Just because you're screwing one of those bitches, doesn't mean you can talk to me that way", she said.
"Back off Sasha", Paige said, standing in front of me.
Sasha smirked and laughed, backing away and going to sit on the other side of the room.
"Does anyone else have a problem with the way I run this team? Speak up now", I said.
"Dean made you leader of this team, I trust you", Swagger said.
"Same here", Corey said.
"I dont know you, we just met but if Lucia put you on this team, it's because she trusts you and now I trust you", Sami said.
I knew Seth had my back, the girls did as well, except for Sasha who rolled her eyes and twirled her hair.
Randy-
We had been to all of Sheamus's spots, some people would say he wasn't here, others would yell in our face and tell us to fuck off. They were protecting him, we sat down at a bar and talked, some men would send us a glare and whisper to each other, they knew why we were here.
"He's here, I know it", Kane said.
Phil nodded.
"If people here weren't afraid of him, we would have him by now", Baron said, scanning the room.
"We only have one more week here, I don't want to leave my family unprotected for long", Phil said.
"Corbin, call Hunter and ask if he's heard anything about Sheamus making a move", I said.
He nodded and stood. He took his phone out and before we knew it we we're being shot at from outside. Baron had been shot, Phil was pressing a napkin to his bullet wound.
"You're going to be okay Baron, stay with me okay", Phil said to him.
Kane pulled out his gun and shot back. We heard cars taking off, Kane took a peek.
"They're gone", he said.
"Can you stand Baron?", I asked.
He didn't answer.
"Kane can you carry him?", Phil asked.
Kane nodded and picked him up, Baron winced in pain. I called Hunter to have a flight ready for us.
Dean-
It was late, my phone was ringing like crazy.
"Hello", I answered.
"Dean, Baron's been shot. We are taking him to a hospital in England", Phil shouted.
It sounded like they were at an airport or something.
"Keep me updated as soon as you know anything. Do not leave his side till we can fly him back here, understood", I said.
"Yes sir", he said, hanging up with me.
I sighed. I felt Lucia press a kiss to my back.
"What happened?", she asked.
"Baron has been shot, they are taking him to a hospital in England", I said.
"Oh my god, we have to bring him home", she said, getting out of bed.
"Baby, darlin, we can't do anything now, not till we know how bad he is. If he's really bad I don't want to move him but if he's okay to fly, then we will bring him home. He's family and I want him here with us too", I said.
"This is all my fault, I should have listened to you", she cried.
I held her to me.
"No baby, they were protecting their family, even if you didn't ask him to go, he would have gone", I said.
"What if Sheamus goes to find them to finish the job? I can't let them get hurt", she said.
She went over to her nightstand and made a call.
"Paige, I need you to make a call to your family", she said.
I could hear Paige ask her all kinds of questions.
"Baron has been shot and my families in England. I don't know if Sheamus will try to finish the job, I wouldn't put it passed him. Would you mind", she said.
She sighed.
"Thank you Paige, I owe you one", she said.
She put her phone down and looked at me. I opened my arms to her and she wrapped her arms around me. I kissed her forehead.
"Like I said, when I hear from Phil on how Baron is doing, we will bring them home. I don't want them over there either", I said.
She nodded. There was a knock at our bedroom door. I went over to answer it. Denise stood there holding her laptop.
"You need to see this. Not Dean, Jon, he needs to see this", she said.
I was worried now. I've never seen that look on her face before. I gestured for her to walk in, she did and sat beside Lucia on our bed.
"What's going on?", Lucia asked her.
Denise clicked away and then turned her computer to us. She pressed play.
