Rose waited a week after Sammy was born to put her plan into action, Rose had her father and the crew back in work and were on a job, Drew and Tyler were in high school and Ace was on a run with his gang and would be back until later in the day. This was the perfect time to finish this, no one would come after her and get caught in the crossfire.

Calling back the number Sandra called her on a week ago, it rang a few times before Saxon answered "Hello" he says, no idea who was on the phone, he never saved the number.

"Why?" Rose spoke without thinking, she needed to know.

Saxon heard who it was "With you dead, I finally get to destroy that family of yours, and then I get your boyfriends gang too with you dead, everything falls apart" he says like it was a normal conversation with a friend, not talking about murder.

Rose couldn't help but close her eyes and see the image of her crew, Ace and his family. They were all family thanks to Sammy, and she would do anything to protect them.

"I want a deal, I will willingly come but no harm comes to my family, including Ace's gang, you leave them out, my death is satisfaction enough" she speaks confidently, she needed to show no fear despite being completely fearful of her impending reunion.

Saxon ponders in thought for a minute "Very well, I would have used them as leverage, but as you are willingly coming I can abide by your request, but you come alone" he says.

Rose lets out a silent breath of relief, though she kept her guard up, she knew what Sandra was like and Saxon was most certainly the same as her.

"Where are we going to do this, I won't come onto your territory, I know how it will play out" she mutters.

Saxon gave a location and to meet there in an hour which would give Rose time to get Sammy ready and taken to Drew and Tyler to care for, they were the only ones close enough to care for him at this time. She didn't want to take him to the high school, but she had no choice.

Checking his baby bag, Rose changed and dressed Sammy and placed him in the car seat as she collected the weapons she needed. Dressed in all black Rose ties her hair up so it didn't get in her face, nothing like a stand-off with hair in the face. Using two thigh straps and two ankle straps she gets a few handguns and six knives and place them about her body. Even her sports bar has solid pockets to hold two knives, she wasn't taking any chances.

Putting her mobile phone in Sammy's baby bag, she knew Ace and her father would have it traced to locate her, but you can't find what doesn't have a GPS.

Taking Sammy and his belongings out to her truck she straps the sleeping baby in and double-checked he was secure before heading to the garage beside the warehouse and retrieving Ace's old bike and rolled it onto the bed of the pickup. It took a minute to strap it down, but once secured, she checked Sammy and headed towards the high school.

She had planned it so that Drew and Tyler would only have Sammy in school for half of the day. Being a week old she had never left him for more than ten minutes at a time, a couple of hours was going to be torture, she made sure to feed him before leaving, most babies fed every few hours, but Sammy was more like four which meant Rose had enough time from school finishing to get back in time to give him his other feed. She tried once to bottle feed him just in case something went wrong with the plan, but the boy hated it, no matter how much Rose tried, Sammy refused to drink from a bottle. So, she was determined to make it back in the time slot planned.

Rose drove and thought back to the day the phone call came in announcing her uncle's death, it was a day she would remember for the rest of her life, which made this mission all the scarier.

Pulling into the car park, Rose got Sammy out carrying him in his car seat and grabbed his baby bag before locking the car and heading into the school. The last time she was here she almost died and now she was leaving her to potentially die.

The halls were empty of students, the vast majority in the cafeteria which made it all the more revealing when she walked in and the room goes silent, a sense of Deja vu washed over Rose and she inwardly smiled.

Placing a sleeping Sammy on a chair near Drew as Tyler had more people around him. Placing the baby bag on the table she checked over her baby on more time, pulling his blanket up a little and tucking it in.

"Rose you better not be doing what I think you are" Drew chides.

She looks at him and smiles "He's already been fed, and shouldn't wake up for a good few hours, don't let him out of your sight" she tells him.

Drew shakes his head "You can't leave him here Rose, and wherever you are doing, it isn't worth it".

"Don't make me call Ace" Tyler interjects.

She smiles "Go ahead, he's out and by the time he gets here you will have no idea where I am" Tyler scowled knowing she was right.

"I'll be back by six...if not then I'm sorry and I love you guys, take care of Sammy and make sure Ace doesn't do anything rash" she smiles sadly at Tyler and Drew.

Leaning over Sammy she placed a kiss on his head "You be good for the boys and daddy if I don't come back" she says.

"If you don't come back? Rose you can't" Drew says exasperated by the whole situation.

"I know what I'm doing Drew, this has gone on long enough, I won't risk my family anymore, they've already taken so much from me, Sammy won't be another casualty" she says determined to win this and return before anyone else finds out what happened.

"If I'm not back at the warehouse by six, you can tell my dad and Ace everything, but only then, they don't need to worry if they don't have too" she says and looks at Drew.

He saw the pleading in her eyes and voice, he knew how Rose was stubborn and he couldn't get her to change her mind, so he helped and nodded his head "You better come back" he says and stands up to hug Rose.

She walked out of the school and climbed back into her truck, both hands on the steering wheel she closes her eyes and heaves a deep breath "I can do this" she reminds herself and turns the ignition.

Driving to the edge of town, she hides the keys and then gets the bike off the back, locking up on bullets, Rose climbs onto the bike and takes off into the woods towards the location Saxon told to her.

Saxon had the location choice which put him at an advantage, however, the explosion at the warehouse five weeks ago greatly diminished his gang numbers leaving only a few left for his army.

Reaching the clearing location, Saxon was already waiting for Rose when she pulled up on the bike, surrounded by his men and Sandra stood by his side with a smile on her face. She was the first in line when it came to watching Rose's death of course she would be present, just as Rose had planned for her to be.

"Long time Rose" Saxon speaks coolly, it had been so long since he had seen her in person, though she wouldn't remember.

Rose steps off her bike and stares at him, she kept her face blank of any emotion, even after all this time, Rose was still trying to figure out Saxon's connection aside from Sandra of course she had known there was something else.

The more Rose looked at him in the light the more familiar Miles Saxon became, but who he was is a mystery.

"Why are you doing this Saxon, you have Sandra, nothing is stopping you two from leaving and starting your own life together. I can burn the file, and no one will ever know what happened and you are free" Rose says, she wanted to gage both of their reactions to what was said. She was after all giving them an out.

Saxon steps forward, anger evident on his face, she really had no idea what the connection was and yet he was taking it out on her "You ruined it all, you and your father. First he takes my girl and ties her down with a bratty kid and then proceeds to destroy my family" Saxon yells. He compose was slipping, and Rose knew if she couldn't get control of the situation she would be dead before finding out the truth of this all.

"I don't understand Miles, if I knew what you were talking about I would help you sort it, you can't blame me for my own existence, I had no control over that, what have I done that is so bad you want to end my life?" she raises.

Rose looked over to her birth giver and saw Sandra staring daggers right at Rose. There was no way she would enlighten the situation so Rose turned her focus back on Saxon, he was the only one Rose would be able to manipulate enough to get the information she needed.

"With you dead I can finally bring down your family like mine was taken" Saxon bellows out.

Rose was riled up "Who Saxon, who destroyed your family?" all this talking and there was no answers from anyone.

Looking at the men who surrounded Saxon she saw their face stone of any emotion, except their eyes carried a look of questioning "You guys have him as a boss, he is unhinged, can't you see that, he had already gotten the majority or guys killed, all because he carries a vendetta from years ago" Rose tells them "I bet he hasn't even told you why he was doing this?" she raises a brow in question.

Saxon glowers down at Rose, "They won't leave my side, sworn to the Saxon gang until death, you won't get them to turn" he says unsympathetically.

Rose laughs humourlessly, "I don't want them to be on my side, in fact I wish them dead" they couldn't be trusted once under the thumb of an irrational man.

The men around Saxon glare at Rose but she doesn't care, "They've killed and most likely raped women, I won't allow an enemy into my ground, especially from a man who carried a petty war against a kid" she unravels.

Turning to Sandra she points and accusatory finger "And what about you huh?" never breaking eye contact "If I destroyed your life so much, why didn't you just walk away once I was born? Dad would have raised me on his own, yet you stayed, why?".

Rose knew Sandra carried an answer for that question, she stuck around because in that sick twisted mind of hers, she cared about Rose, but the young women knew Sandra would never admit it to anyone.

Sandra kept a blank face, despite what Rose said was true, she was caught in the headlights like a deer when Saxon looked her way, she didn't answer, and he wanted to know why.

"No one would have known about my existence if you walked away, you probably wouldn't have become a kidnapper and child rapist and murderer like this man" pointing to Miles Saxon.

She held back a sob as the thought of those girls that were murdered in place of herself, "What about when you watched as he cut the babies from their young mother's you helped those girls survive their pregnancy up to six months and then you murdered those babies as Saxon killed the girls. You wanted to do that to me, but the problem with that was, I wasn't the problem you were" Rose says, and Sandra is taken aback.

"You got pregnant, a simple abortion, adoption, or abandonment was a wide variety of options for you, but you didn't do any of them. You took drugs, drank till you couldn't walk whilst pregnant with me, you hate me and yet fail to give me a legitimate reason as to why. Cutting those babies out of those girls at six months is when I was born, with the alcohol and drugs, my lungs were underdeveloped at three months premature, none of this makes sense and you know what I doubt it ever will because you are twisted and messed up, you destroyed my dad back when I was an infant".

Saxon smiled "But kill you now after having you for eighteen years would be more painful, in fact a video of your torture followed by your death would be a great way for him to relive the moment over and over again" Saxon ponders out loud.

"I still don't understand Saxon, you have Sandra, my father loved her and was destroyed when she left, you won, I told him about the girls and how they represented me and it destroyed him more knowing he couldn't be there to save me, isn't that payment enough?" Rose was determined to find out the answer behind all of this.

"You really don't get it do you" Saxon heaves out.

Rose stares at him blankly, "No I don't get it, why don't you enlighten me on the situation, I was clearly a kid when this all went down, so explain it to me".

Saxon didn't want to explain, he wanted to rid the world of her and move on to a different life with Sandra by his side. Two crazies in America. Turning to one of his me, he nodded, and the guy pulled a gun from his waistband, pulling both guns from her back she fired taking six of the ten guys straight away then ducked for cover.

The four that remained emptied their clips then moved to reload, Rose took that opportunity to finish them off. One gun of hers was finished and the threw it to the ground before grabbing her knives and throwing them at those that remained.

Unfortunately, the last guy Rose took out managed to fire his weapon directly at her, she couldn't feel the bullet hit her, she had an abundance of adrenaline that she threw a knife and hit him directly in his heart. He fell to the ground with a thud. Aiming the gun at Saxon and Sandra she waited for them to move, she did after all have an itchy trigger finger after that small battle.

"Didn't think I could take down ten fully grown men ay?" she looked at Saxon and Sandra who were now both scared.

"I thought you would have realised my strength by now, especially after I was able to fight off those drugs as a kid, all six times" shaking her head in dismay.

"Alcohol, drugs, premature birth at twelve weeks, lung issues, surviving the beatings when her father wasn't home, this was a piece of cake" she stated with triumph "Dad took me to train on the base, after a year I took every crew member down, the military trained me to shoot, breaking all their records. I've met thousands of people and I've figures out each of them, everyone but you Saxon, to me you are an enigma that needs breaking".

She paused to gage his reaction, there was nothing, "I understand a lot of things, don't agree with how you executed those things, but I do agree. But since it's only you Miles, Sandra and I, we can talk about it all" she suggests with no emotion on her face.
