Julianna tilted her face to press her cheek to Cain’s head, the fur of his ears tickled her face but she didn’t mind. She was mostly grateful that the moody child didn’t pull away, allowing the embrace to be comfort for the both of them. She nodded against his head and squeeze his arm reassuringly, though she didn’t know the honest answer to his question. “Yeah, I think so,” was all she could say, knowing she could be somewhat open with the kid. He was old enough that he wouldn’t appreciated being babied too much. “Your father says they don’t seem interested in hurting her. She’s just…” Jules’ paused, swallowing the thick lump in her throat. “Bait, I guess. We’ll get her back.”
She lifted her head when she heard muffled shouting, the exact words lost due to distance. Fingers buried into the hair on the back of Cain’s head and she forced his face close enough for her to press a kiss to his temple. “Stay here,” she commanded, gently. Unaware of what had caused Owen’s behavior to escalate.
When she opened the door to Cain’s room, Jingles darted past her, nearly knocking her down and joined Cain on the bed. She whined and burrowed herself as close to Cain as possible. She shut the door behind her.
Owen’s voice became clearer as she neared the bedroom. She could hear him talking to Katanya. Medevac, torturing, we’ll respond accordingly. The eavesdropped knowledge felt as if it was tearing her heart into pieces. What had they tone to her daughter.
Julianna could feel the demon slinking in the back of her mind, feeding off her torrent of mixed emotions. Something changed in her as she stood in the door of the bedroom; an eerie sort of calm washed over her, her terror was replaced by an incandescent sort of rage. Belial reveled in it.
Upon relocating her husband, Jules paused. He had already changed and armed, she looked him over. Years of working for him had given her some insight on the way he prepared for specific situations. Her eyes lingered on the rifle strapped to his back. “I’m coming with you.” She told him of the decision she had made in the short distance from Cain to him. It was not a request, and her eyes locked with his in defiance of the protest she knew would come from him.
Katanya answered her phone immediately when Owen called her. She went through the motions of responding to his orders appropriately. Her teeth ground together, and she passed a hand over her face. She indeed knew what he meant. “Yes, sir,” she replied, before she hung up.
Taking her own burner from her pocket, she flipped it open to read his most recent response.
>consequences
With a scream of frustration Katanya launched the phone at the opposite wall. It shattered and pieces scattered around the small space. She wouldn’t need it any longer anyway, but the gesture did nothing to subdue her. Anita was supposed to remain unharmed, she had promised that would be the case. Recent events had her feeling as if her mission was derailing. She couldn't focus with Anita's screams echoing in her head. Retrieving the rest of her arms, she finished dishing out orders to her remaining men. Her words were vague and half-hearted. She didn’t care what they did as long as they left Anita alone.
They were all dead anyway.
