Now Mira was no stranger to doing stupid things but this had to be the top of the list. She stood waiting for the man who took her twins from her. Leaning back against her bike, she slipped a cigerette out and lite it. Getting the guy to meet her had been a hell of an ordeal. It took lying to her dad and acess to goverment files, but hey she did it.

She didn't even know if he was gonna show up. But she had to try to get her little ones back. How she yet to figure out. She was kinda shooting from the hip.



OOC: If you dont like this I will change it.

How on earth the woman had found out his number would probably remain a mystery btu she did and Sam gave her credit for it. It must be desperation driving her because she had just lost her newborns to him and now she was requesting a meeting.
How stupid did he have to be to show? She'd be in a heap, crying and begging and he simply couldn't give them back. Or she'd try to force him.
Usually Sam would have not even considered meeting her but seeing that Jack O'Conner was so resistant to pain and other convincing methods he figured she might be another way to get to him.

So he sowly rolled closer to the meeting point in an old sedan and scanned the area for the woman he had only just met...in a very unpleasant way. No doubt she would come armed but so did Sam.
With a gun in the back of his belt under his hoodie he approached the blonde and as asoon as he was close enough he stated.
"You better have something to offer."

Mira didn't even glance at Sam when he walked over." I don't have anything...." Her fingures dropped her cigerette to the ground where the toe of a pair of black knee high motocycle boots crushed it. Mismatched eyes then turned to Sam. They were rimed in red so it was easy to tell the girl had spent the last few days sobbing her eyes out. "I can't offer you anything....unless you would consider taking me in they're place, but i doubt it. Just like I doubt you'll give them back if I got on my hands and knees and begged."

Sam could tell the woman had been balling her eyes out, which wasn't a surprise considering she'd just lost her newborn babies.
Here she was begging for him to hand them back or take her instead.
If he hadn't experienced this a few times before he'd probably feel compassion but he couldn't allow himself such luxuries.

He took his time mustering her before he replied.
"I understand your request but I can't do that."
He shifted from one foot to the next and then said.
"You need to understand. I don't want to harm them. Make sure your brother in law returns what he lost and no harm will come to your children. I promise." Of course Sam knew he couldn't promise a thing but he would certainly try.
He had Mira where he wanted Jack and his brother.
"Go talk to Jack and tell him how important it is that he returns the goods."

"And if Jack doesn't what are you going to do to them?!?" Mira's hand grabbed the collar of Sam's shirt. "What will happen to my twins then?!?" Her grip tightene. "They are innocent. They don't even know Jack."

Her hand relaxed as tears slid down her cheeks. "Please just let me come take care of them." Her mismatched eyes met Sam's. "Please."

Sam stiffened when Mira grabbed her collar. Of course she was desperate but if she got any closer he'd have to hurt her.
"Let go." He said in a firm yet quiet voice.

When she did he stepped out of her grabbing range and let his eyes scan the area to make sure nobody was watching. people didn't seem particularily interested in them as they were just chatting and walking by.

"Listen carefully because I'm not going to repeat this. You will get them back unharmed if Jack returns what he took. Make sure he does. Otherwise I can't give you any guarantees."
With that he turned and walked to his car because it was obvious that this woman had nothing to offer other than a headache.

Only minutes later Brian called Mira. Being away from her and having the kids missing was tearing him apart and the only person who could understand him was the mother of his children.
He told her that he'd meet her where she was right now in ten minutes.

Soon he approached her looking a mere shadow of the man he used to be before everything happened. Not saying a word he enclosed Mira in his arms without saying a word at first.
After holding her tight for a while he let go and looked at her seeing her red rimmed eyes and streaks on her face.
"How are you holding up? Did you hear anything new?" His own voice was choked up and the dark circles under his eyes also told a tale of long nights without sleep.

Mira choked back tears as Brian held her. "No I haven't heard anything. Have you?" Mismatched eyes met blue. It took Mira a minute to realize she wasn't alone, Brian was feeling the same way that she way. Lost, upset, angry.
"Not good... the house is to empty without them...what about you?" She moved her head to rest on Brian's shoulder.

For a moment Brian allowed his feelings to surface while he was holding the one person, who felt the same. His eyes filled with tears that threatened to fall but before they could he gave them a quick wipe with his sleeve and swallowed the lump in hsi throat.
"Nothing."
He had hoped so much that Mira had heard from Sam but she wold have called right away.
Brian purposely didn't tell her about jack's severed fingers to spare her.

"I went to his mother in the hospital to put some pressure on him and searched his place but they weren't there. I have no idea who has them or where he's keeping them. I just hope they'll eb strong enough."
This time the tears actually made it down his cheeks.
"Damn, sorry." He was supposed to be the strong one, right?

Hugging her again and placing a gentle kiss on her cheeks he mumbled. "We just can't give up hope. I'll do what I can to get the stuff back that Jack lost. Then everything will be fine."

Mira hide her face against Brian's chest. Tears started to fall, she was starting to break. "I just can't stop thinking about them, they are so just so little. Hardly old enough to be out of the hospital, much less so far away from us." Her body was trembling as she held onto him. The more she spoke the more Mira was losing her grip on her emotions. She wanted to scream and yelled about how stupid Jack was and that was would kill him herself if her children didn't get back in her arms soon but she still haad enough control to realize that wouldn't help.

Mira's sadness was quickly enveloping him with it's full force and dragged him further down even he told himself over and over to stay strong because her words were so true. The babies should still be in the care of doctors or at least with them. Instead some careless hired killer had them. The thought along made Brian want to scream.
Instead he swallowed his feelings as well as he could and ran his hand up and down Miras shaking back without a word. Brian didn't know what to tell her because he felt the same.
Finally he choked out. "They'll be okay. I'll make sure Stephano gets what he wants."
Gently he rubbed her shoulders and then kissed the top of her head.
"What are your feelings about telling your dad. We know we can trust him and I think we could use some help."
