She is a weapon!

----------LAYLA'S POINT OF VIEW----------
I'm slowly waking up.....I'm in a van.....what the f**k?..... it slowly starts coming back to me.... Hardy that Fucker! I hear him talking.
"She is going to kill me when she wakes up your know that right?" he says.
"She won't kill you Hardy! you are like her big brother man that's why it hand to be you!" An unfamiliar voice responds. "Once we are on the plane you can explain" The voice continues.
"You think she won't jump from a moving plane?" Hardy sounds shocked. Then they both chuckle a little.
That voice starts talking again "You want out right? you want to disappear?"
I need to remain like I'm asleep while I devise a plan. I can't get on the plane and I won't!.
"I told you man of course I do but not like this!...…fucking hell how much longer will she be out for?" Hardy has a nervousness to his voice.
"At least another hour man relax" That gruff voice replies.
I hear him sigh...
Ok I have an hour … stupid idiots didn't even restrain me... BIG mistake! I reach into my pocket and find my phone... What are they amateurs? I slowly pull it out so as not to let them know I'm awake. I fire off a text.
-TEXT- AIRSTRIP NOT LONG GONNA NEED A RIDE
I sent it to a group message that was the first message on the top of my screen...
"We are taking too long man. Are you sure she is still asleep? because I don't like our chances of getting her on that plane if she comes to!" Hardy says sounding more agitated.
"Look at me man! we are 30 minutes from the airstrip and we should be wheels up for another 30 minutes before she wakes would you chill out she loves you" the voice says abruptly
PFFT Love Hardy!!! not no more. I'm usually one for giving second chances but this fuckface Hardy is technically on his second chance already!
"I don't know man this doesn't feel right" Hardy's voice comes out soft.
----------BEAU'S POINT OF VIEW----------
Doc is working on Jase and I have to say I'm impressed he jumped in front of that van AND continued the chase... and made it here on pure adrenalin. He cares about her and I'm grateful.
There's no information anywhere on the van! Our man on the inside came to help but has also come up empty.
"Beau... you said Layla was military right" FBI Dan asks. I nod my head 'yes' as I'm pacing in front of him while he furiously works his computer.
"Which branch of government" Dan asks.
"f**k she didn't say specifically" I reply with a little frustration.
Damon interrupts saying "Special forces? I don't thing she was your standard army marine"
All our heads snap to Damon and he just shrugs. Dan is typing faster than ever. He freezes and his eyes go wide. He continues clicking away then shakes his head. "Ah f**k Beau is this your woman?" he asks turning the screen to me.
"YES that's her!" I exclaim
"This isn't good man. She is way above my pay grade. Everything in this file is redacted even the locations of the missions and there is clearly a network of higher ups hiding her s**t man!" Dan seems exasperated.
"I don't get it" I say to Dan obviously missing something.
"Your girl is a badass Beau! no scratch that she is THE BADASS! This isn't even everything she's been involved in but WOW!.. I can't find more I'm sorry man. She is well hidden. what is she literally a weapon? That is what it looks like to me." Dan seems impressed.
I'm beyond frustrated now "f*****g hell search the name Hardy!" I snap.
He is typing away again as Jase hobbles in in a moon boot for his broken ankle.
"Layla just sent a message...we gotta get to the airstrip!" Jase says with urgency.
I check my phone... why the f**k did she message him?? And it's like Jase can sense what I'm feeling so he adds "She fired off a message to her last group chat so Madz ,Amy and Axel would have got it too." he says trying to calm the thoughts in my head. I feel relieved.
"Lets go get her boys! Saddle up" I announce. Jase looks down knowing he can't come and help.
I'm grabbing weapons. The boys are strapped. As I'm walking out I turn to Jase and say "Don't worry, I will bring our love home bro" He smiles and yells "GO".
----------LAYLA'S POINT OF VIEW----------
This is all about timing... I know what I need to do. I just hope the right people got the message, and that's when I hear it. In the distance the rumble of bikes... yeah they got the message! A big grin comes across my face as I lay there still.
"You still worried Hardy?" That voice mocks him.
"Man just get to the plane already" Hardy grunts
"Don't worry back up is there waiting for us!" That voice snaps back
"We are gonna die today... can you feel it?" Hardy says solemnly
"SHUT THE f**k UP HARDY you're being paranoid" The voice shouts.
Ohhhhh they are going to die today! I have to refrain from laughing.
"She is just one woman. You make her sound like f*****g WONDER WOMAN! she doesn't have powers man!" That voice is getting angrier and angrier.
I feel the van slowing to a stop and I hear the plane already running... they jump out of the van and i hear the muffled voices of others... good they are going to need back up. I'm standing waiting for the back doors to open up. I hear the bikes close but not too close... Perfect! I've got this!
The doors open and its show time!
I leap wrapping my thighs around number 1's head grabbing his gun and twisting my body down over his shoulder, flipping him backwards onto the ground finishing with a kill shot to his head *BANG*... Number 2 and 3 are too slow! Head shots in quick succession *BANG BANG* 2and 3 are down. Driver is number 4. He grabs me from behind, I throw my head into his face then grab the back of his head swinging my body around him and snapping his neck *CRACK*. I see Hardy and run at him, he doesn't try to move.
I'm not feeling sentimental this fucker drugged me! I'm in his face snaking my arm down his leg where i know he keeps his knife. I pull it out as he goes to speak
"LAY" That's all he gets out before I slice his throat from ear to ear. As he drops to the ground I whisper in his ear "I said no Hardy and that was your second strike" He looks up at me and smiles warmly. I know he is sorry but like I said I don't give chances for a strike 3.
As I turn around I see 8 More men being held at gun point by Beau, Rex, Damon and a new face...
"Glad you got my message fellas" I say a little out of breath.
I have blood all over my hands. I drop the knife, I must have rubbed my face at some point. I look like a serial killer. I walk behind the lined up men who are now on their knees while the four men holding guns are just staring at me wide eyed. "This is my mess guys I've got this" i say with a wicked smile. One by one I walk down the line when the man I don't know speaks up.
"I can take it from here Miss Maretti. FACES DOWN INTERLOCK YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACKS. YOU ARE ALL UNDER ARREST FOR ABDUCTION AND ATTEMTED MURDER" Dan takes charge.
I look at Beau a little shocked. Rex chuckles "Remind me never to piss you off"
"f*****g hell" is all Damon manages to say
"Who are you Layla? That was full on are you ok baby" Beau asks.
"I want to go home. I'm covered in blood and I need a drink" is all I say.
"Ok baby lets go" Beau says searching my face.
I jump on the back of his bike and we gun it all the way back to his club! But why are we here when I said I wanted to go home??
"I said home Beau ! this isn't my home!" I say sternly.
"I know baby but I promised to bring you here!" He sighs.
I roll my eyes and walk into the club behind the boys.
"f**k Layla... Doc Doc" Jase yells out "Are you ok? where are you bleeding? oh f**k there is so much blood..." He yells limping over to me.
"Jase calm down its not my blood I'm fine" I reassure him. He pulls me into a warm embrace and then pulls back cupping my face.
"I tried to stop them love!" He says with his eyes full of regret.
"And they f*****g did this to you right?" I say angrily. I feel my anger building again.
"They attempted to run me over but I chased them" He says smiling sweetly.
"Of course you did love" I smile at him as he pulls me in again.
"Alright alright enough of that !" Beau interrupts. We all laugh as Beau hands me a drink. "Thanks baby" i smile. "You scared the absolute f*****g s**t out of me woman!" Beau lets the words pour out as he snakes his arm around my waist bringing my body flush to his and resting his forehead on mine. "I f*****g love you Layla" he sighs. "You are strong... so f*****g strong baby you're a badass... you're my badass and I'm never letting you go!" he says sweetly. I shut him up with a hot needy kiss and tell him "I'm f*****g yours Bobo!" He responds "I know baby and I'm yours and only yours! I always have been "
"I need a shower. I look like a serial killer" I say into Beaus ear laughing lightly.
"What do you mean LOOK like a serial killer" Rex yells out and everyone bursts out laughing.
"Oh Shut it you light" I say rolling my eyes.
Madz and Aimz come bursting through the door and immediately start crying when they see me.
"OG MY GODDDDDDD are you ok? Lala are you hurt? what happened?" Madz voice is hysterical then Amy yells "LAYLA" they run to me wrapping me up tight in a group hug. Squeezing me so tight and it feels good to be loved. They bought me some clothes suggesting I shower. I giggle "I love you girls you know that right?"
I look around the club and besides some whores in the back and a few older men I don't know I realize... This is my family. I've found my people... I sigh and smile.
Beau steps in front of me and grabs my face. "Come on I'll take you to the shower" his voice is soft. he takes my hand and walks me up the stairs and out of sight.
----------REX'S POINT OF VIEW----------
What a f*****g crazy day! I'm in awe and shock... I knew Layla was tough but Jesus f*****g Christ!! She is in a whole other league than any of us. I signal the bar bitches "Drinks all round!"
Damon stands beside me "f**k ME MAN did that all just happen?" he claps me on the back with a small chuckle before turning to Jase "Hey Jase man I know how that adrenaline kicks in I didn't even feel my shoulder. I know I was only a passenger but hell it was like it was numb" Damon says.
Jase smiles and nods "I know man"
Amy pipes up "So what the hell happened" she asks.
"Gather around and we will fill you all in on how BADASS our Layla is" I say in story time mode.
They all come and sit around on the couches while Damon and I stand in front of the fire place. Damon turns to Jase "Jase start us off bro"
"JASE" Amy startles us all with a shrill voice as she turns around just noticing Jase. She looks at his leg and runs to him "Oh My God Jase are you ok ?" She asks
"Yeah yeah I'm ok thanks for finally noticing your big brother" He smirks and she looks sorry.
He then starts the retelling of events from today. Everyone's faces are in shock as Jase explains his involvement. Right up to him finally noticing his broken ankle and passing out. I recount our efforts to locate her or the van but preferably both. Then Madz chimes in with the group chat message and we all nod.
Then Damon says " SO we were all in position figuring out our plan of attack when Layla Springs from the back of the van."
He is so immersed in the story and even hearing it I'm still shocked and I was there! He doesn't miss a single detail of the story from the way she leapt onto the first man counting them down as she took each one out... Even to the sickening way she sliced that last blokes throat, down to the devilish enjoyment she showed on her face during each take down..
"f*****g BADASS" Damon says proudly.
"OMG" says Maddy-lyn
"OUR LAYLA IS A MACHINE" I yell.
"Yeah she is" Jase agrees
"but who was the guy?" Amy asks
In walks our FBI contact Dan "The man was Hardy Bomont. Former seal/special forces, they were friends once up on a time" He explains . We all turn to look at him as he drops a file onto the table between us and continues " I believe she was like a sister to him at one point. She saved his ass when he was taken hostage by a group of militia in South Sudan, they were inseparable up till 3 months ago when she went A wall."
We fall silent.
"Don't worry she is out now I made sure of it" Dan sighs.
"Dan needs a drink! In fact another round for us all!" I yell to the bar bitches.
