Chapter 26: The Mission Part 2 Day 6

                                                              Diego's P.O.V.

        

“This is the park where we used to play with her, it is also the place where Asher confessed his feelings for her. He was so happy that she agreed to be his girlfriend that he just had to come over to let us know of her answer after they took each other's first kiss.” Liliana had happy and sad tears in her eyes and after mentioning Asher the tears began to fall. “I'm sorry.” I don't know why I was apologizing, it just felt right. Rocco over and hugged her as she cried into his chest, it wasn't romantic or anything like that, it was a friendly hug from a friend or child. Liliana thanked him for his comfort and looked at me as to say, 'you can carry on now', so I showed the food stalls where we would either get hotdogs for lunch or ice cream for a snack for the way home, sometimes both.

         This time Mariann had the tears. “What's wrong with you? You haven't showed any signs of compassion for Analina since you've been here.” Rocco looked over at her, waiting for her response. “I never had a childhood, I was always primped for a man of higher class, don't get me wrong, I love Jonathan with all of my heart, and I wasn't looking for a rich guy, just a guy that will love and treat me right, also to take me away from my strict parents.” We didn't know what to say so I just headed back to the car hoping for them to follow.

                                                         Meanwhile Back at the house

                                             

While the ladies are on a tour of Analina’s childhood, Andre and the rest of the men discuss the mission. “Now with that taken care of, back to the mission. How many men did you two bring with you?” “Combined twenty-four.” John answered for the both him and is son. “Good, good. I myself  am bringing ten, because with Zanders and Pablo that makes twelve, but you also brought Stavros with you, so I could add one more to my team.” “I don’t think that's necessary cuz, I brought all of my trusted men that favor me instead of Draven, that gives me thirty and leaves him only twenty. I suggest that we leave some of the men outside to guard the women, especially Analina.” “Great idea, Ricco.  We leave in an hour in that time chose who will be coming and who will be staying. Andre and his men walk out of the office and when Analina notices him she runs up  to him. “PHEONIX IS MINE!!!”

“Ok, baby girl. I'll bring him back and put him in a cell.” She jumped onto his hips and hugged him tight until she was ripped from his gasp. Andre looked at the culprit. (Asher, figures. I don't fight him, not in front of her father and brother, but I will have words with him when this mission is over with.)He thinks to himself as Asher walks away with his arm around her shoulder. His two men come up to Andre and flock to either side of him. “Want me to deal with him?” Pablo asks. “No, I'll deal with him when we get back. Come with me, I want both of your input on who I should leave to guard the outside of the house.”

An Hour later the men leave to go on their mission to Draven's hideout, hoping to take him and all of his men out. Rocco and Diego is at the Stratton's family villa with Liliana and Mariann, Analina is left at the house with the guys. Andre, John and Jonathan left a reasonable amount of men behind at both places guarding the outside. At this time Santos and Santiago are making their rounds, Enzo, Andros and Asher is with Analina in the hallway just between the office and the sitting room. Andros is looking on as Analina and Asher decides that it is the right time to have an argument. “HOW DARE YOU GET MAD AT ME FOR BEING WITH SOMEEONE ELSE WHEN YOU WERE WITH THAT SHARON GIRL!!!” “I WAS NEVER WITH HER!!!” “THEN WHAT WERE YOU DOING TAKING HER OUT ON LUNCH AND DINNER DATES.”

“Asher you're forgetting about five years ago.” ”Andros says reminding him the worse morning of his life, losing his virginity to a girl that was not his Lina. “I WAS DRUGGED I TOLD YOU, I DON'T KNOW HOW I ENDED UP WAKING UP NEXT TO HER AND BEING NAKED!!!” “WHAT AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO BE MAD AT ME!!!” “AT LEAST I DIDN'T FORGET YOU LIKE YOU DID ME!!!” “ASHER, THAT'S EVEN WORST. I ENDED UP LOSING PART OF MY MEMORY RELATED TO BEING TAKEN AT THE PARK THAT I FELT SAFE AT, JUST TO BE INFLICTED WITH TRUAMA!!!” “WHO TOLD YOU THAT SHIT, COME ON, MEMORY LOST CAUSED BY TRUAMA?!!!”

All of a sudden the arguing stopped when they heard something crash through a window in the sitting room and someone barging in the front door. Andros seeing Draven with a gun steps in front of Analina just as a shot rang out. He drops to the ground as Asher and Enzo quickly pulls out their guns and starts to fire as he hears two more guns being fired . Noticing Daven getting away with a limp and holding his right arm, he looks behind him and sees  Santos and Santiago making their way from the sitting room to them with their guns aimed at where Draven was as Asher and Enzo still had their guns aimed at Draven as he left out the door but didn't take aim his focus was solely on Analina crying and in her arms laid Andros out cold and pale. Santos immediately takes out his cell phone and calls for an ambulance then calls his father.

“Dad we have a problem, Draven was here and Andros has been shot.” “Is he ok? Did you call an ambulance for him? Is baby girl alright, he didn't get her, right?” “Dad, no to the first, yes to the second and yes and no to the last.” “What about the men stationed around the house?” Santiago walks in at this point from outside of the house and shake his head. “Dead!” He confirms.  “Ok, I'll talk to later Ricco, and I have problems with which ourselves to deal. I what the four of you to follow the ambulance to the hospital but stay cautious to your surroundings, you don't know if Draven brought anyone with him and protect baby girl!”

"Yes dad, we will. Dad, why do you call her baby girl? What's going on with the both of you?” “YOUR DAD CAN'T TALK NOW, HE'LL CALL YOU BACK LATER, WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS!” With that he hangs up the phone and focuses on the scumbags in front of them. The four of them leaves the house and gets into the car as soon as the paramedics loads Andros into the ambulance and gets ready to take off. Santos, who is in the front passenger seat calls Rocco while Santiago drives, Enzo and Asher calms Analina down in the back seat, all while they have their guard up on their surroundings.

Andre and the men have their own problems to deal with while John, Jonathan, Stavros and the rest of their men are taking out the rest of Draven's members, two of Andre's men is handcuffing a guy known as Pheonix. “Why did you do it?” Andre asks Pheonix. “Do what?” “YOU GOT ANALINA PREGNANT!!!” Ricco screams at him. “Oh, the little hot captive, we were given permission to have our way with her by boss.”
