A/N: just to clarify incase anyone takes offence, I am not trying to be offensive about the use of drugs. So if you know someone with this problem, keep in mind I am not offending them and I'm very sorry if I have in someway. Thank you

Anna's eyes fluttered open. Everything around her was pitch black, as if she hadn't even opened her eyes at all. She winced at the painful, sharp throbbing in the back of her head and tried to stand, only to find her wrists were tied together with her ankles, leaving her laying the the fetal position. The air was damp and cold that caused shivers to run down her body, she closed her eyes again and groaned in pain as the memories came flooding back. Nate, Harry, the men that attacked them, Noah on the floor, the screaming, the gunshots... Tears welled up in her eyes as she sobbed silently, wishing for her family. To hold her son again, to feel Harry's arms around her again.
"Good. You're finally awake." A sickly familiar voice echoed around her. Anna lifted her head and glared into the abyss before her, "You sick son of a bitch! Why are you doing this?"
"So she does have a feisty side. And here I thought all you did was cry and scream." Trent chuckled, walking circles around her, "But to answer your question, its simple. That man, your beloved Harry, owes me big time. He took everything from me, I take everything from him. And you my dear, are that everything, along with that little runt of a son."
Anna growled and struggled against her binds at the sound of Harry and Nate, "If you touch them I swear to fucking God I will rip your dick off and show it too you." (Sorry, I had too XD)
"Now now Little Miss Violent, you don't want me to hurt you now do you?"
"You can hurt me as much as you want for all I care, just leave my baby and Harry alone." She whispered, remembering Nate's cries and the blood seeping from Harry's shoulder. She screwed her eyes shut as Trent grabbed her chin and tilted her head up to what she believed was his eyes, "Ohhh, I don't know about that. Harry's parents was my old target, then I got wind about you and that little shit. Taking you two might just make him hurt enough. He'll live with the fact that he lost his love and child and feel his world crumble just like mine."
"Oh boo hoo, you lost some dirty cash and a few drugged up costumers. You started all this when you killed Noah's sister. It's your fault that you lost everything. Neither of them did anything, they just got you put away for the worst crime someone could commit. It's your fault that you turned into a crazy psychopath. No one else's." Anna spat. A foot connected with the side of her head, causing her to black out again, only hearing one last muffling sentence, "I'll decide later what I'm going to do with you, but for now... I might just keep you around."

Harry awoke in a private hospital room, his arm cast and bandaged up and his head throbbing. He groaned softly and tired to move but could barely find the strength. With his blurry vision he saw the figure of Noah standing across the room, cradling a smaller form in his arms and talking to a nurse. The two paused when they heard his groan and Noah ran to him, "Thank God! I thought you wouldn't wake up!" He sighed with relief as Harry noticed the bandage wrapped around his head. Harry looked around him, squinting, "How long was I out for?" He asked. His throat scratchy. The nurse appeared on the other side of his bed, tipping a glass of water to his lips, "Almost three days sir. The surgery and blood loss took a lot out of you and your body needed time to recover." She was at least middle aged with dark hair and unusual green eyes, that gave him the look of pity and kindness. Harry quickly finished the glass and almost shot up, "Three days?! Anna! I have to get her back! Who knows weather she's still alive after all this time!"
The nurse and Noah pushed him back down gently, "Please take it easy Mr Colburn." The nurse said softly.
"The cops are onto it, they've interrogated every wounded guy Bennet and Malcolm took down and got some info, but not a lot." Noah filled him in, not really making him feel any better knowing he wasn't part of helping rescue his fiancé. Harry was about to struggle again but Noah stopped him by handing Nate over to him, "Someone's missed you. He hasn't stopped crying since you blacked out."
Harry stared down at his son, his own blue eyes fusing with his innocent gaze. His chubby cheeks were red and tear stained and his tiny mouth was in a pout, quivering softly. Harry tightened his arm around him comfortingly and shushed him gently, bouncing his arm to cradle him, "He needs his mother. What leads have the cops found so far?" He asked, not looking away from his son.
"They've checked out a couple places where Trent stayed and found some clues but nothing about Anna. They did find out that he was originally after your parents though. Until he found out about Anna."
Harry tensed and his gaze shot up to Noah's, "Are they alright?"
"He didn't touch your parents. But they're on their way here to see you and Nate, and too help get Anna back."
"What?! No! Its too dangerous, why didn't you stop them?" Harry almost yelled, but stopped himself for Nate's sake. Noah rubbed the back of his neck, "Hey, your Mom was seriously pissed off and really likes Anna. Do you really think I could've stopped her?"
Harry sighed, he had a point. When his mother was pissed, there was no stopping the woman. He nodded, "Alright but they aren't going out into the field though, got it?"
Noah nodded and saluted him, "You got it."
Harry nodded again, looking around and noticing two people missing, "Where is Bennet and Malcolm anyway?"
Noah's playful manner immediately disappeared and he became extremely solemn, "Malcolm took a serious hit. He didn't make it. Bennet's calling his girlfriend, but he's not taking it well either." He said softly, "The medics tried everything but he died on the scene after saving Bennet... Took a bullet straight through his head."
Harry felt his sympathy got out to Bennet, he and Malcolm had been partners ever since they had joined Harry's security team 5 years ago. Even before then they were always together. They were like brothers. Harry nodded softly, "After this is over, we'll give him the burial he deserves. He will be recognised as a hero."
Noah nodded and turned to leave, "I'll leave you and Nate alone for a while. I'm gonna check up on Bennett."
Harry nodded and watched as his friend left, jumping when he heard a woman's voice next to him, "I'm sorry about your friend."
The nurse was still there, he had completely forgotten about her, "Thank you." He said softly, looking down. With one last sad look, the nurse left to let father and son be together.
