Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 70
Leona's face hardened and showed me to a room while Bailey and Lola headed off to get some updates from the team if there were any. She had held my hand and showed me the bedroom I would be staying in or where they thought I would be. "Wow beautiful.... I'm not even going to ask how since well I already know... also I wish you wouldn't have since this is you putting yourself in danger again and for what? Don't answer that please....All I know is I hope we find this guy soon and right now sleep is what I really need now to just do a real good reboot even if it's only for a couple of hours!" I yawned again holding the door handle and only letting her come as far as a few feet in again. "Really? Well ok I got the hint... but…" she stopped and turned to face me again, but only slightly. "I'm literally just on the other side of this room, in my own room and if you need anything let me know..." she whispered soft and slow as though she were trying to freeze time. "I got it and please I'm fine I really just need sleep..." I was wishing with all my might I could just tell her my thoughts and ideas. However, if I did, she'd only try and stop me and if I told even my brother or the other side, they would also do whatever they could to stop me. I closed the door as she finally walked away and down the hall to the next room over and prayed I would get enough time to trust myself to get things done as they needed to be done sooner rather than later.
Ethan was trying to read my thoughts and what I was thinking but from all my training I just set a loop for him and blocked him out. I climbed into bed and closed my eyes relaxing enough to get me warp speed through my first layers of dream state so I could flash through without hopefully being noticed. I had made it to my own little dream state bubble and went to my mother as it was now 6 am and I could hear her tiredness as she held my little brother who was crying for food again. My father looked just as exhausted and the two of them were the only two besides my little brother there. I entered their space and whispered out "Mom.... dad can you hear me?" My father looked around and then at my mother. "Yes honey we hear you.." she whispered and very slowly I kept myself balanced and at a distance as I slowly let down the shield. "Shhh don't freak out dad…. I can't stay long just wanted to come back once everything calmed down and we got to a safer place. Dad you can tell your team they won't be needed anymore, and I know you already know that too. Anyways..." I walked a tad closer to the bed. "What is his name...?" I asked wanting to know before I left just in case something happened.
My parents looked at one another and then down at my brother. "Well no being mad ok... because we ran it by the other person first..." "Jesus his name is Giovanni ok.." my mother burst out with a little giggle when Giovanni grunted. "Wow, not sure why you chose that but ok... a little weird for me but hey it's your choices and as long as it wasn't about to be Ethan again I am happy for the 3 of you.. anyways I am still not too good with this balancing act. Mommy, baby Gio.. ha ya a little weird... daddy I love you all and am so happy that you 2 are truly able to be happy again. Let Sharene know I'm really sorry about earlier but I just couldn't... I hurt her regardless I know, and she feels rejected, but that pain she feels now will make her that much stronger..." I was speeding through everything knowing I didn't have much time left if I was planning my escape. My father just looked at me and part of him knew I was planning something I could just feel it. "Just be safe and come home as soon as you can..." "What is happening right now? I mean I'm not dumb and know there are things you two are keeping from me… however, don't forget I am your mother and can do some mighty things as well... so don't go doing anything stupid" she warned getting louder in volume. "Look everything is going to be fine... I will get back when I can... I love you all…” I blew them all a kiss and left quickly. I floated around a bit longer needing to just see them in my own way and not see their sadness as they saw me and had a feeling something was about to happen.
"Parents intuition" I figured as I was going from my dream bubble back to the bed and laying down needing to really meditate and get ready for the jump that would be the biggest one I had ever done before. I made sure to be aware of any movement happening out in the hall or anywhere else in the house including using my supersonic hearing I'd learned to use. I could hear Leona breathing heavy and I hoped she was resting but part of me thought maybe she had cried herself to sleep. I hated that I was hurting so many people around me, yet I was never good at not hurting people and had figured it had a lot to do with my growing up and being so in-tuned with my own self awareness or at least so I thought. I got into a deep mediation after making sure things were secure and nothing nor anyone would be able to stop me from doing what I needed to do to keep everyone safe and sound. I knew it was a big risk and still wasn’t even sure any of my ideas would even work to get me where I needed to be to get the man off the streets and or at least get him to turn himself in.
Once I was completely calm and relaxed, I focused on the one place I really felt safe and really thought of the times me and Catherine had hidden in the closet back home. I felt the shift and vibration and as I really focused on not just my breathing but my childhood home, I finally made the final transition. It was one hell of a ride as I felt like I was a bullet flying through time and space and landed not so gracefully in the closet in the corner hitting the wall and hurting my ribs. I was happy that I was able to snag a couple of burner phones that I had taken on my way out of the building as Bailey and Lola drove me to my parents. I took a min to right myself since I had never gone so far before and the last few times I had transported all the way it made me barf for what felt like hours along with all my insides coming out. All I got was a little nausea and pounding pain in my head for a few seconds which I was amazed but also figured it had something to do with my determination and focus. I felt my brother and grandparents trying to break down the barrier I had put up so that they would not stop me or warn anyone. I was in a shower and out within 10 mins and dressed in tight clothing to protect my ribs and chest wound. I dialed Dr. Miles number and when she answered gave her instructions to pass to her brother. "I am alone now with no security detail and not sure how long I can stay in one place. I know he needs answers about your parents which with all the evidence I have looked into, I now need the same. If I am on the right track I can do just that, I am leaving from my position now on my motorbike... have him call me ASAP for real and if not I'll meet him where it all began!" I hit the end button and hung up.
Almost an hour and 18 mins later I arrived at where it all began just 80 miles south of my house on my turbo Hayabusa flying from the neighborhood quickly and all dressed up so no one would think the wiser. I had my burner phone in my chest pocket and felt it vibrating and hit the switch on my bike the transfers it to my helmet. "Speak..." "You are truly brazen to think that coming alone is the best idea. Then again you are very smart and that's why I gave this task to you now…. if I see anyone with you, I kill the next 3 people on the list..." he hissed through his teeth before the line cut out. "What the fuck....3 people did he send a fucking list? Jesus Christ..." I thought as I became now angrier than ever. I followed the map directions it gave me in my ear, and I was happy when the traffic was light and was able speed at the max the bike would go. I made it to the spot by 9:30am and knew that he was watching me before he even called 20 mins later. "Happy now? I know you're watching so now what? I really want to help you and I've been over and backward on this and I even have the things my father had from my grandfather" I was sure he would enjoy that information. "What... do you mean you have everything? I.... if you are here to help you don't get to leave until I say you can so you better have real answers...." he was now in a state of calmness I had yet to hear from him but I also knew he wasn't lying. I waited another 45 mins until a truck with black out windows came around the corner with a man in the front drivers’ seat.
