“Ehh, ehh, ehh. Stay where you are,” Andrei orders.

“Please, I’m a doctor. Let me see if they are alive,” Willow pleads, her eyes full of tears. Andrei nods, and I use this moment to slide my smartwatch off my wrist. Crouched beside Catalina, I remove the back of my shoe slightly and slide the smartwatch on the side of my shoe.

“Are they okay?” I ask, knowing the answer she’s going to give.

“No. They’re gone,” she states, looking me in the eye, tears flooding down her face.

Fuck. I knew she was going to say that, but I was hoping for a miracle. “Ivan, the hoods,” Andrei shouts as he painfully grabs Willow by the arm.

“Hey, leave her alone,” I growl. Andrei pistol whips me on the side of my face and blood pours from above my right eyebrow, causing me to shut my eye.

“Please, don’t hurt him. We’ll go with you,” Willow begs. He slides his hand against her cheek. It takes everything in me not to react, but I don’t, for both our sakes.

“Alright, you two are coming with me. It’s time for Ramos and De Luca to learn a lesson.” Andrei chuckles, clutching my arm with one hand and Willow with the other.

He hands us over to a guard, who I’m guessing is Ivan, by the two black hoods in his hand. I turn to Willow and mouth, ‘I love you,’ and she does the same before we both are injected and drop to our knees.

The whole world turns cold and black, and I’m hoping the next time I wake up, this will all be a horrifying dream.

If only.

Only the Beginning by UNSECRET & Moonwater

Bullets,blood, death, Alejandro, Catalina, injected, kidnapped. Those are the last moments I remember. Oh my God. Where’s Sonny? I panic, shifting side to side. Oh, fuck. I’m tied down. What the fuck is this? I slide my figure across a mattress that feels a little springy. A door opens and I still my breathing, making sure they think I’m asleep.

“Call Miss October Soul, my daughter, and her girlfriend, Miss O’Connor. Tell them I want to make a deal.”

I know that voice anywhere. Andrei. But why is he working with Maeve and October? And I thought he hated his daughter?
