I first put on my bulletproof vest

I first put on my bulletproof vest. I had a long-sleeved, tight black shirt underneath it. I slipped on all-black jeans that had a gun holster on the right side.

"Can you tighten this for me?" I ask Ezra, looking over my shoulder. He nodded, walking over to me.

"Ok, amore, I want you to stay with me when we get there." Ezra told me as he tightened my bulletproof vest. "Is that good?" He asked. "Yes, that's fine."

He's taught me how to use a gun when he was also teaching me how to fight, and surprisingly, I'm good at it.

Psst, who am I kidding? I'm good at everything.

I am bending down and strapping the knife leg holster to my right thigh. "I'm scared." I look up at him. Ezra cups my face in his large hands.

"We're going to get our forever. Even if that means I have to burn the world to achieve it. I'll do that for you, Mio Amore." He said he was placing his forehead on mine.

I see him smile deeply, causing his dimples to show. "I wish I had those." I'm poking his cheek. "No, you don't. I hate them." I look up at him, stunned.

Bitch what?

"No, you're not allowed to hate them." Ezra raised his dark brows. "And why is that?" Amusement flashed through his eyes.

"Because I love them."

"Is everyone in positions?" Niccoló's voice comes through the headset. This heavy feeling fills my chest, but I push it down.

Ezra looked down at me. "Ready?" I nodded. "Yes, Nico, everyone's ready." Leo passed his arm over my shoulder. "Hey cupcake."

What nickname is that?

"I'm hungry." Leo looked over at me. "Leo?" Ezra said. "Yes?" Leo's tone was cautious. "Shut the hell up." Ezra growled. Leo playfully zips his mouth closed.

Nico, gave us the go. Ezra nods his head silently, telling us to move.

As we make our way into the building, I hear the sounds of a gun being fired.

Enter the building and look around the room. There are wooden crates everywhere. "We're good; keep moving." Ezra's husky voice ordered

We continue walking down a dark hallway. Suddenly, a scream sounds through the building so loud that it makes all of us cover our ears.

"Who the hell was that?" Leo shouted. "How the hell are we supposed to know?" I snapped at him. My heart is racing.

"Let's go. Nevaeh, stay close." Ezra's order as we picked up our pace A loud, staticky sound filled the room as we entered.

We all paused, looking at the big TV that was placed in the center of the room. I noticed a camera in the top left corner of the room.

"Are you guys seeing this?" I hear Zayden's voice come through the headset. "Yes, we are. Ezra, what about you guys?" Octavius asked.
