Evie trusted Ben to protect Andre. She stopped running and turned to the agents that were on her heels. "You have no idea what kind of people we are" she said extending her claws.
"They're not human!" One of the agents said panicking and firing his gun at Evie.
Evie let out a surprised gasp as the bullet entered her shoulder. She dug it out with her fingers and watched as the wound healed itself before looking back up at the agent "I'm human sometimes" she snapped back. The agents surrounded her and she stood in the middle calmly. Another fired his gun at her and she ducked so the bullet hit the agent on the other side of her. She stood up and took the gun from the agents hand and broke it over his head before pulling a dagger from another agents belt and slashing the throats of the remaining agents around her in one swift motion. She looked around at the bodies and dropped the dagger. She took off at a run to find her husband and son.
Andre saw his father and the agents on his heels and he abandoned his hiding place behind the car and ran to meet his dad "Dad!" he called running towards the bridge.
"Don't move!" An agent shouted pointing his gun at Andre "It's a clear shot. I'm taking it" he called
Andre turned to face the agent and smiled a mischievous smile as he was about to extend his claws. The agent fired and a tranquilizer dart hit Andre in the chest. The little boy toppled off the side of the bridge and plunged into the waters below.

Ben saw his little boy fall into the lake and with no regard to his own safety he leapt in after him and swam to save him, he quickly scooped him up and rushed to the shore. He pulled off the dart and checked his breathing, despite what others had said about him he was a very concerned father. After seeing he was breathing, he picked him up and resumed running know that Marius Cromwell will pay for this. He saw that he was still being followed and saw Evie. "I'm heading home, follow me!" He called out before disapperating to their home. He reappeared at the entrance to their house, he held onto Andre holding him tight as he waited for Evie to appear. He was so scared hoping that he hadn't lost his son, he would rather endure any pain except that.

Evie had briefly saw Ben carrying Andre before he had disapparated. She didn't know what was wrong but she knew that it wasn't good. Worry flooded her body as she disapparated home herself. "Ben" she said when she found herself standing next to her husband. "What's wrong? What happened?" she asked putting her hand against Andre's face. "He's cold. And wet. Ben, what's wrong with him?" she cried
Emily opened the door before Evie or Ben even reached for the knob "Oh thank god. Charlie and Mir came home without you guys. I was so worried! I was having a total panic attack" she told them. Her eyes fell upon the scene in front of her. She could tell that her parents were upset by something. "What happened?" she asked them

Ben regained his composure and answered. "He was hit by a dart and fell into the lake, I got him instantly." He held the little boy in his arms feeling as thought he had failed him. "You're going to be alright, I swear, Andre. Just wake up, you're a fighter, I knew that when I first laid eyes on you." He said as he got up picking Andre up with him and entered the house. He knew that their home was protected because only he knew their secret keeper and he knew that they would never betray them.

Emily immediately sprang into action. "Take him upstairs to the guest room. I'm going to get my medical bag. It's important that I know what was in the dart. Do you still have it dad?" she asked Ben as she rushed to get her bag. "I'll be up in just a minute. Just stay with him and try to warm him up as much as possible"
"They shot him?" Evie asked trying to control her anger "Marius did this to get back at you didn't he? He did this to Andre because you wouldn't play his games. I thought you said he was nothing to worry about. I told you!" she growled "How could you let this happen?" she hissed trying to keep her emotions at bay. She was angry at herself for letting this happen more than she was angry at Ben. Charlie started crying upstairs and she rushed ahead of Ben to pick her baby boy up.

"Standard dart, nothing that would be keep him down for more then a few hours." Ben replied as he realized he still had the dart in his hand as he saw Guthrie apparate with blankets before taking Andre in his room. "I will take of the boy, master but you must tend to the mistress." Guthrie advised wrapping the boy. Ben went over to Evie who was tending to Charlie's crying, he saw that she was upset and anytime she was upset she would blame him. "I'm not playing his games, he wanted to send me a message and I know that he has no way of knowing where we live otherwise he would've done something here instead of a public park. How did he know that we were going to be there? No Seer is that on point, he must have been told by someone. Did you tell anyone where we were going today?" He asked thinking that he already knew the answer but wanted to see if he was right.

Emily took the dart from Ben's hand "No worries. Guthrie and I will fix Andre right up. He'll be as good as new after we're done" she promised kissing her dad's cheek and following Guthrie into the bedroom.
Evie rocked Charlie and shushed him while rubbing her hand in a soothing circular motion on his back. She kissed Charlie's head and held him close afraid that someone would try to take him from her at any moment. "He sent you a message through our son" she snapped "He goes for what you love most. That's how he works. Those stupid agents weren't there for you. They were there for me and the kids" she told him. She shook her head "I didn't tell anyone where we were going" she replied. She thought for a moment. "Oh well except for Kari. We were talking on the phone the other day and she commented on how nice the weather has been. I just told her that I was planning on taking the children to the park down the street and that Lemuel was invited. I'm glad Lemuel didn't come. I would have been endangering Kari's kid" she said kissing Charlie's head again as he began to calm down. "She mentioned that you had visited her the other day. Why didn't you tell me that? You must have something to hide if you're visiting your ex wife and not mentioning it to your current wife" she told him hatefully. She was desperate to yell and complain about something. Anything. It would keep her mind off of Andre and keep her tears away.

"I went over there to talk to her about Dia and to see Lemuel." Ben replied as he saw that he was once again becoming the bad guy. "It never came up to tell you because I was only there for a minute before I left to pick up Andre from school. He then started thinking about this and snapped his fingers. "Kari must have told him, think about it. She was the only you told and I didn't tell anyone, who else would it be?"
Guthrie began assisting Emily with Andre knowing that they could save this boy and if they didn't both Ben and Evie would go after Marius to rip his head off.

"I'm sure talking was all you did" Evie snapped back "You didn't even tell me that you were planning on seeing Kari. I thought she was the past" she hissed "You think Kari did that?! You would know wouldn't you? Are you two both in on this? Is the joke on me? Maybe you're sick of this family and are looking to move in with the ex. Of course you would have to get rid of me and the kids first so you could get your happily ever after. You'd get rid of Andre just like you sent those damn hunters to get rid of Kyra" she said. It was a cruel statement. It had even hurt her to say it so she knew it must have hurt Ben.

Ben looked at Evie knowing that she was saying these things to hurt him, he turned around as he exit the room. He would never had would have done anything like this with his family as it was low and inhuman to do to anyone. He entered the sun room and sat down placing his hand on his face. "That was low."

Evie followed Ben and stood in the doorway of the sun room. "Don't pretend you haven't done low things before Ben" she mumbled feeling a little guilty "You have hurt me countless times. Honestly I don't give a damn about how much pain you put me through. I just don't want the kids to go through any pain" she said holding Charlie close.

"Evie, don't go there, please don't not now." Ben said as he got up and walked out of the room as he restrained himself. He was hurting seeing his son unconscious and being attacked. "I think that you need a time to cool down."

"Of course. We don't talk. I forgot about that. You can go visit your ex wife to apologize for your behavior but it's just torture to talk to me or even say sorry for your actions" Evie said "That's fine. As soon as Emily fixes Andre I'm gone. This whole thing is your fault and I will not have my babies in any danger and as long as they are around you they are in danger" she told him "You can invite Kari over to keep you company" she suggested kissing Charlie's cheek

"Will you stop?" Ben said looking at Evie letting his anger flow. "I swear 'Ben you love Kari, why don't you go back to her, you don't love me'. I swear that you nag so much. I didn't know that we were going to be attacked, why in the hell would I want to do that? If you think that I did that, then you're fucking crazy, you can leave but you ain't taking my kids. You better take some time and cool out before you say something that you can't take back." He looked at Evie with a seriousness that was not to be tested. He saw Miriam walking into the room looking at Ben wanting to be picked up. "Calm down and check on Charlie."

Evie walked away and went downstairs to sit on the couch. He didn't understand anything. He never had. She hoped that one day he would know how it felt to have someone else chosen over him. She prayed he knew the pain of feeling like second best and the self loathing that came with feeling like you weren't good enough for the one person you loved. She rocked Charlie and stared down at him. "I promise you that I will always protect you Charlie. I'll never leave you and I will never let anything bad happen to you" she mumbled smiling at Charlie as he wrapped his little hand around her finger and stuck it in his mouth to chew on. "Your brother will be ok. He's strong willed like your stupid father" she told her baby boy.
Miriam put her arms out "Up" she said "Up" she repeated stomping her little foot and waiting for her grandfather to pick her up.
