He nods and heads into our room and comes back out with blades guns and other items.

"Jace, Rayah your free to come with, if not we'll be back soon." I said arming up.

"I think we should stay here." Jace says, looking at Rayah for her input.

I shrugged, still lost in my depression. I looked around one last time and gave up, throwing back into tears.

"You guys want her dead or alive?" I ask.

I looked over at Jace, "What do you think?"

"We'll stay." Jace decides. "And alive. No more death is going to be caused. Unless...god forbid they're hurt...if they are, bring her back in pieces."
He doesn't recognize his own voice when he says the last part.

I nodded, "Alright." I still felt heartbroken. "Wait." I said taking out my phone. "I have her number." I said calling it.

Hello?

"Give them back."

Ha, Rayah, what a surprise. Well..not really but...I'm not giving them up until I hurt you in some way.

"Fine. Be there..Soon"

I hung up and stood up. "I-I'm going with you. I'm giving her what she wants."

Jace stands.
"Ray, you don't want to do this. You can't think clearly now, we have too much at stake." He says, taking her hand. "Please, I don't want to have to worry about someone else."

I shake my head, "It's what she wants." I swallow. "I would give up anything for my children." I said closing my eyes, "Even myself."

It was obvious Rayah stays here, she far to depressed to go out.

"Andrew lets ride while we still have the night on our side, our prey awaits. Rayah you stay here, I'll bring her back alive for you to beat on." I said.

"Kelly and Andrew can kick some serious ass on their own, Ray." He argues. "Not only that, do you really want to give her what she wants? After what she did?"

I sit down, "Fine. But I'm gonna text her some words that she wont even understand..." I said taking out my phone.

Jace flashes a smile of relief at Rayah and sits at her backside, leaning her against his chest and wrapping his arms around her as she types furiously into her phone.
"They'll take care of things." He whispers, trying to convince himself as well as her

I nodded, "Yep...and...Send!" I laughed. "I hope she doesn't show it to Lo' and Rye though." I bit my lip.

Jace kisses the side of her head and breathes in her hair, drawing her even closer. He closes his eyes and tries to pretend it hadn't happened.
