“Don’t get your panties in a bunch, Reid, Jesus!” She shakes her head, shoving my mask into my chest. Why do all the women in my life have to be brats??

We all dip out. It doesn’t take long to reach the county road we need to be on. Everyone puts their masks in place. I let Stone and Asher lead. Approaching the U-haul truck, they hop off their bikes and roll out the flash bangs, running to secure the men in the cab. O and B come to a stop, throwing a set of smoke bombs. I take up the rear, opening the back with caution. Gunshots ricochet into the night, and I step to the side, pull out my silencer, and fully lift the rolling door. Two men come barreling out with their weapons trained on O and B. I shoot both men in the back of the knees; they immediately drop. O and B walk over, step on their backs, secure their arms with zip ties, and leave them. I turn my flashlight on, and what I see before me has me shocked. KIDS, all little girls and boys. Ages from two to fifteen years old.?

They are screaming, and I’m not sure what the fuck to do. I’ve never intercepted a shipment of children before; it’s always women. I take out my phone and call my hermano.?

“Reid, you good hermano?”?

“Whose fucking shipment is this?” I growl into the phone.

“The Pierces, why?” He asks, concern laced in his tone.?

“It’s children! Young fucking kids! What in the actual fuck?”

“Say again?” He says.

“Nicolas, its fucking kids! Toddlers! What are you not fucking understanding?” I yell into the phone.?

“No, it was supposed to be a shipment of women, not children. Fuck, what do we do now?”

“I’m still going to call The Brotherhood and see if we can locate their parents; for the time being, I need to get them to the warehouse; they need to be fed and bathed. They look pretty rough.”

“Si, Si. Do you want me to place a care package call, or have you got this?” he asks.

“Fuck no, I’ll place a call to my people. I want nothing to do with that man.”

“Si, I understand, hermano. Let me know if you need anything.”

“Will do.”?

I hang up and look into the truck. There’s a small girl who approaches. She’s tiny, wearing a blue sundress with little daisies on it. She has the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen and the curliest white hair that flows down her shoulders. Her chubby cheeks have dirt smears, and she has no shoes on. Her feet are caked with dirt and cut up. She walks right up to me, sits on the edge of the truck, and motions for me to come closer. It’s like I’m in a trance; my legs move automatically. I stand before her, and she puts her tiny hand on my cheek and says,

“Cabhair liom le do thoil” tears spill from her little eyes. Fuck.

“Harper is ainm dom,” she says. I’m guessing she’s telling me her name is Harper, but I don’t recognize her language. I place my hand over hers, which is still on my cheek. I don’t know what to do. I just nod. I don’t understand her. Fuck. ?I try to pull away, but she grabs my arm.?

“Fan,” her little accent is so–Oh shit. It’s Gaelic.

Jade knows Gaelic. Fuck.

-Jade-

After Jamie leaves me full of his cum, I’m laying in bed, catching up on some trash TV, when my phone starts ringing. I feel around my bed for it. Where the fuck are you, stupid phone? I finally find it and see its Spade. Do I let it ring out, or do I answer it? I’m a bitch, so I put it down. Fuck him. It starts ringing again. Something must be wrong. I press the green button and answer.

“Hello Reid, what can I do for you?” I say in a sickly-sweet tone.

“Jade, I need you to meet me at the warehouse. It’s an emergency.” He says panic-stricken, which isn’t like him at all.?

“What’s going on?”

“Just please, I’ll explain when you get there, but please hurry. I know you hate me, but this isn’t about me or us right now.”?

“Alright, send me the address, and I’ll come now,” I sigh.?

“Thank you, BabyGirl,” he breathes.
