Recap...

"She's going to live," he says. New found hope rushes back into my heart only for it to be crushed minutes later.

Adonis:

"Take me to her," I demand and the doctor nods hesitantly leading me to her. Mom follows us and soon we make it to a room. "This is the recovery ward, she'll have to stay here for awhile. When the bullet entered her it ricocheted off her rib and exited through her left arm. Her heart is unscathed but it did hit her subclavian artery. She'll be in a lot of pain when she wakes up and will have to stay here for a few weeks. She'll also need physical therapy to regain full motion in her left arm," he explained.

I curtly nod and he leaves. I only care about the fact she's alive, we'll work through the rest later and I'll be right by her side. I open the door and step in to see an empty bed. Panicked I check the bathroom as well. "She's not in here," I yell. Mom runs out and I run after her. "Where is she?" Mom asks the doctor as she reaches him. "What?" He asks confused.

"She asked where is she," I say blankly. "She should be in there," he says. "Well she isn't," I say and add "I want to see security footage." "O-ok sir," he says. He lead me to the surveillance room and he tells the guards to pull up the footage from that hallway. "We just got that back up, it went out for a few minutes. "Show me the footage of all the exits," I say my voice raising with each word.

I watch them all one by one until one catches my eye. A gurney with a body on it covered with a white sheet being loaded into an ambulance. "Is that how you usually deal with dead bodies?" I ask. The doctor shakes his head panicked. I can't control it. I punch the screen. I tear a screen of the wall. I throw an empty chair. I hear the door shut but I don't care. I keep destroying.

I smash another screen. I pull out the drawers of a filing cabinet and throw it. I keep going until the enter room is entirely destroyed. Then I collapse. I pull my knees up to my chest. Then I cry. I cry so hard. Kiera. I just want to see her. I want her safe. I should've sent a guard to protect her. But I didn't.

Suddenly I can't breathe. I feel so much pressure in my chest. I try to breathe more. Breathe harder. But more air gets sucked out of me. I look at the walls. They're closing in on my. Slowly. In by inch. They're compacting me. Soon I can't breathe at all. I'm suffocating.

"Adonis just focus on me," Mom says. When did she get here? "M-mom," I say. "Yes honey, it's going to be ok. I know it will," she says. "I-i-t hu-r-rts," I choke out. "I know, I know," she whispers patting my back. Soon I can breathe again. Then my breathe levels out and I pull away. "I have to find her," I say and stand up. "I wasted so much time....I just have to find her," I say rushing towards the door.

"I called Nico, there are search parties being sent out. You have to go to your main warehouse," she says. I nod absentmindedly and rush to get in my car. I speed to the warehouse. I can't waste anytime. I arrive and go straight to my office. Everyone is gathering here by the looks of it. It's protocol for a missing member of the mafia family. If a member is missing and there's a search everyone has a meeting spot to be prepped and given orders. Any and all resources can and will be used until they're found.

Kiera may not be family by marriage or by blood but she is mine and that accounts for this. No one can question that. "Boss, I have released 10 search parties so far. Each of them consists of two highly skilled soldiers and 10 soldiers in their command. I also have 16 waiting to be released with orders," Nico tells me once I arrive.

"Have them cover all airports, docks, private helipads and airplane hangers. Just anywhere they can take her out of the country fast," I order. "Yes boss," Nico replies. "Have search parties across New York, leave no stone unturned. Check abandoned buildings, warehouses, storage units, apartments, neighborhoods, forests, parks, any boats, anywhere and everywhere must be searched. Have more throughout other neighboring cities and states," I tell him and he complies leaving to give the orders.

I run my hand through my hair thinking about what else I should do. I go over to my computer and call an emergency meeting for my allies. All of them have scheduled re signings for our treaties and I'll just have to move it up. I contact, the Australians, the British, the French, some gangs in Greece and cartels across the world and lastly some assassins. Considering it's urgency I get replies almost instantly saying they're on their way. Most should be here by tomorrow and the last of them should be here in two days.

I leave my office and walk to the briefing area. Plenty of soldiers have arrived by now and are all being told their stations and what needs to be done. I go over to my most trusted assassin Mari and tell her "I need you, Bennet, Lucy, Henry, Killian, Penelope, Marcus, and Jennie to be a personal bodyguard for my siblings, kids, Mother and Uncle." "Yes boss, I wasn't aware you had kids boss," she replies. "They're from your Donna's past relationship," I state coldly. She nods and hurries to get the others assassins before leaving with the address given to her by Nico.

The only thing I can do now is wait. As don in this situation I have to be here. If she's being held hostage for something in return there's no saying what they could do to her if I'm not the one they talk to. I hate it. I need to find her myself. I should be out there with my soldiers. I feel trapped. What if she gets hurt? It'll be a lot easier considering she just had surgery. What if we don't find her soon and it gets infected?

Thinking back to the surgery that reminds me of something. Someone there had to have taken her out of the hospital. Probably a nurse. Someone who was supposed to be taking her from the surgery room to her recovery room. "Nico, send men to the hospital Kiera was taken to. I need the doctor, and the nurses that were handling Kiera's injury," I tell Nico. He nods and goes to give orders to some of the soldiers that just arrived. We all know the doctor that handled her case. He's our most trusted surgeon. I sincerely hope he had nothing to do with this. How can a good surgeon work if his hands are cut off and he's buried 10 feet under? He may end up like that either way. I don't like his carelessness.
