"Mati Hi!"
"The fuck you doing here Jade! and you brought Garrick too?!"
"She didn't bring me Matilda, I brought her." Garrick said.
"In what sense you're talking?" Matilda replied glaring at the two of them.
"Okay okay I got it! we're not supposed to be here, but we have a good reason for this." Jade spoke up.
"It better be a good fucking reason, you are driving me nuts Jade!" a voice popped up from somewhere, the trio looked down to see Ned pushing his glasses up "What? am I that Short?"
"You're a short king Mom." Jade said sheepishly.
"Shut it kid, I'm getting those car keys back and you sweetheart? I expect my daughter to misbehave, didn't think you to do so as well." Ned spoke staring at Garrick.
"Hey... lovely? sorry I didn't tell you I was coming." Garrick said, he leaned in to give A semi-reluctant Ned a quick peck on the lips while Jade giggled.
The kiss worked in Calming down Ned, "Now that I am less angry.
Explain to me, why are you two here?" Ned asked.
"Fernando is here, we followed him through a portal after he came to talk with Garrick."Jade respond.
" I followed him after he left and found him walking through a portal, Jade didn't want to let me go by myself, so I brought her along... sorry about that Ned." Garrick added to her words while chewing on his bottom lip, feeling flustered thay they were caught by Ned right away.
The FBI trainees immediately regretted their decision, when Ned startled both of them by shouting " Do you know how dangerous IT IS?! FERNANDO ISN'T SOMEONE ANY OF YOU TWO SHOULD MESS WITH!"
Suddenly, "I'M NOT A FUCKING CHILD ANYMORE MOM SO STOP CONTROLLING EVERY BIT OF MY LIFE!! I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU! YOU OLD HAG!" Jade shouted back.
"Jade What The Hell?!" Garrick blurred out, getting startled a second time by Jade's sudden screaming.
"This old hag is sorry for giving a shit about you! do you honestly think I need your protection Jade or even his?! *pointing at Garrick*
Why?! because You're an alpha and I'm the weak fragile omega that needs saving every five minutes? WHAT THE FUCK AM I? PRINCESS PEACHES?!
Listen, You're my daughter Jade, it is MY job to protect you not the other way AROUND!
*sighing* For Fuck's sake, I'm going to check on Yurei again! Tacito is around here somewhere and with Fernando also here, I can't afford to leave that disrespectful child alone, one of them might hurt him again." Ned said walking away.
Regretting her choice of words, "Mom I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"Save it Zipp Storm! I don't have time for anymore of your Noble excuses!
I need to find where the hell Tacito went, he evaporated out of nowhere after chasing Lucius around for a while. "
"CHASING WHO?! why the hell is this kid here anyways?!" Matilda stopped Ned immediately, "Wait isn't Tacito the one who attacked Yurei?! why did you allow him to be here?" she added.
"I let him in after he begged me...it's true Tacito did attack Yurei but I had a feeling it wasn't intentional.
I didn't let Tacito get anywhere near Yurei again, I was following red-eyes around after he said something worrisome to me." Ned explained.
"Something worrisome?!" Garrick butted into the conversation, "What did Tacito say?"
"I think he's planning to kill himself, he asked me how hard is it going to be for his mate when he dies." Ned explained.
"WE GOTTA STOP HIM!" Jade and Garrick spoke in union, the two then took off searching for Tacito, " HEY! we don't know when he's planning to do it! HEY!! GET BACK HERE!" Ned called after them but it was pointless.
"Fucking hell, those two." He complained.
"Ned, do you think Fernando is here because of Tacito? Socorro and I stayed by Lucius's side untill he passed out, then we headed for the cafeteria, where I left Socorro there taking a phone call after I saw Jade and Garrick... we didn't see anyone else following us the whole time." Matilda said.
"Wait, you guys left Lucius alone?!" Ned asked her terrified, " Yeah? he's asleep why?" Matilda replied confused.
At that moment Socorro approached the two, she was out of breath from running around and trying to find Matilda after she left.
"Coconut-I mean miss Belmonte?! did something happen?" Matilda asked her, she soon got her answer as Muriel and Thorn joined them too.
Ned's eyebrows rose, "Muriel? Thorn? you guys are all right? why didn't you give me a call?" he asked them.
"We brought Muriel's sister here, nothing serious!" Thorn replied smiling at him, "True, unfortunately it seems as though Lucius got the serious call today...
Socorro told me what happened to his mother, we hope that we can check up on him now." Muriel said looking rather disappointed, he really hoped that he would have a peaceful day with Thorn instead.
"I'm aware of Lucius's situation, I was actually going to check on another patient here, but if you're all heading to see Lucius, then I'll tag along with you." Ned spoke, he gave a half-smile while secretly nudging Matilda.
"Huh? Oh right! Lucius! let's go see him!" Matilda hastily replied while leading the way, with Socorro, Ned and the two newly mates following closely behind her.
...Few minutes later...
When the group made it to Lucius's room, everyone was terrified to find, Fernando, Garrick and Jade, being the only ones one present in the room.
Lucius's bed was empty and there was no sign of Tacito whatsoever.
" Jade please calm down!!" Garrick begged her, "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! ARE YOU TRYING TO FUCK WITH ME NOW FREDDIE?! YOU KNOW I CAN KILL YOU RIGHT!" Jade screamed, she had a grip around Fernando's collar, no matter how many times she asked him, he answered that he doesn't know.
"Listen thick head, I told you I don't know where he took him!" Fernando spoke unfazed by her threats.
"What the hell?! let go of him!" Thorn interfered, he jumped in to free Fernando from Jade.
"Thorn?!" Fernando said with wide eyes, he was surprised to see him.
Angry "What the fuck is going on?!" Thorn asked turning his attention to Jade.
"Ah fuck! I forgot the two of you used to fuck." Jade replied mockingly, earning a glare from both Ned and Thorn.
"Why does she know such a thing?" Thorn was beyond angry now at Jade, Muriel on the other hand was confused as hell.
"Huh?! you're an ex of his?" Garrick asked Fernando, "That's not important, it is obvious he moved on... everyone moves on when it comes to me." Fernando replied while trying to exit the room.
But Fernando was surprised when he saw Aroon at the door, both he and Mallory where lifting an unconscious Lucius from his shoulders.
"Sister omg?! what are you doing outside your room, we barely left you for few minutes!" Muriel gasped at the sight, Mallory and Aroon then walked inside and gently placed Lucius back on the bed.
"What the fuck happened here?!" Jade asked them, " Young mistress! what have brought you here?!" Aroon Asked her back.
"Answer me first."
"Let me handle Miss sour mood here." Mallory spoke standing up face to face with Jade, the two female alphas briefly bared one's teeth at each other.
"You're going to stare me up and down shawty or you're gonna talk?" Jade spoke up first.
"You got your mom's Courage, but you definitely don't have his manners.
Listen kid, we're soon going to be in the same line of work, so show some respect to your elders." Mallory replied to her.
"Are all the female alphas this hostile?!" Socorro whispered Garrick, "Kimberly isn't at least." he replied whispering back.
"Get over with it, why did you and Aroon bring Lucius back? where the hell was he!" Jade asked, "Finally you're asking the proper question! although not in the most polite manners." Mallory replied making Jade growl at her, " We found him being carried away in the parking lot, some messed-up guy who looks like my brother's mate is the culprit." Mallory explained.
"Shit! that's Tacito! is he still here?!" Ned asked, "I was the first to go to Lucius's room! I noticed he was missing right away, so I checked the security footage on my tablet, I found Sir Tang carrying away a sleeping Lucius, I went to investigate it when I crossed paths with Miss Mallory." Aroon replied explaining.
"I actually attempted to sneak out of my room when I met Aroon, hehe." Mallory spoke up scratching her head nervously, " Anyways, I don't know why but that Thorn-Lookalike bastard immediately handed us the small Alpha when we confronted him, it was almost as he wasn't sure about kidnapping him." she added suspecting.
"Without a fight? Tacito gave you Lucius back, just like that?!" Fernando spoke turning heads towards him, "Yeah I'm not lying dude, he didn't put up a fight." Mallory replied.
"Why would he attempt to kidnap Lucius in the first place? Freddie, you know something right?" Garrick asked him.
"Hold your horses, Wtf is happening?! why does everyone here seem to know who my lookalike is?!" Thorn butted in, "Exactly, I am positive you have addressed him as Mister Tang, Aroon!" Muriel added to his mate's words.
Everyone who knew the answer chose to ignore Thorn and Muriel's question, "Master Ned, Master Jasper has tasked me with guarding Lucius, yet with how easily he was taken from his room, I believe that his life might be in more danger if he was to be left here in the hospital." Aroon said while you glancing at the sleeping Lucius.
"You're right, I want both Lucius and Yurei moved to my house, effective immediately.
Fernando being here is enough of a threat." Ned replied earning a glare from Fernando, " I didn't come here to cause trouble bitch! I'm trying to find my son, I'm not coming after the beta Spencer anymore."
"Beta Spencer? my son? what is he talking about?!" Muriel whispered underneath his breaths, " I'm sorry what now?!" Thorn said, "That's it, You're gonna explain this mess to me right the fuck now!" he added.
"Thorn I promise you'll get your answers soon but not now, as for everyone else... please get back to your business." Ned said walking away while dragging Fernando with him, "HEY! DÉJAME IR!! ( let go of me)"
"Cierra la boca y sígueme! (shut your mouth and follow me)" Ned responded.
"Hey?! you can't just leave!!" Thorn attempted to follow them but Muriel stopped him, "Relax, let us trust Neddie for now, I will make sure he spills everything later sugar."
"Miss Jeannette, is your getaway offer still available?" Socorro asked without looking at Matilda.
Matilda was happy that the beta woman wasn't looking at the dumb smile that formed on her face, "Yep! let's go, you don't have to worry about Lucius, I told you he's in good hands." she said heading to the door with Socorro by her side.
"Now what?" Garrick spoke folding his arms.
Jade shrugged her shoulders "We'll Wait and pray that mom doesn't take away my car keys for real this time...do you honestly believe Fernando wasn't planning something bad today? what did he talk to you about earlier? before we got here."
"Freddie came to ask me if Ned made me happy...happier than I was when I was with him and I told Freddie that I was never happy with him until the day we broke up." Garrick replied.
Jade stared at him " And he didn't get mad?"
"No, Freddie said he's gonna play nice from now on, whatever the hell that meant.
What I don't understand, why did Fernando teleport using a bigger and different portal, it was almost as if he wanted me to follow him..."
