Summary: (y/n), a fable who once lived nine lives in ancient palaces and shadowed as alleyways, now keeps her head low, the owner of a small apothecary tucked in a crooked corner of Fabletown. A shapeshifter with feline instincts and a curvy figure that commands attention, she has a knack for seeing through people-and hiding her own scars
Bigby doesn't trust her, and she doesn't care, but when a string of enchanted disappearances points toward dark magic and (y/n)'s name shows up on more than one cursed object, Bigby is forced to bring her in... close. And with their bond deepening in unexpected ways, he finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than a case.
Her.

The boys and y/n stood over the snowy terrain as Nate looked at the map. Y/N hugged her jacket closer to her body to keep the cold out.
"Well.." Sam started as he scanned the area. "Rafe's going all in, isn't he?"
"Yeah.. while you were gone he was going batshit crazy for that treasure," Y/N said as she watched the smoke coming from her mouth.
"Well, they're all concentrated around the cathedral, so that's good..." Nate said as he looked in his binoculars. "Because we are going to have that graveyard all to ourselves." He said panning over to the place that they were heading to.
y/n took out her walkie-talkie and turned toward the canyon that lead to the waters. "Sully." She said calling out for the older man.
"Yeah." She heard his voice crackle to life through it and she continues, "We're good to go here." She said with a smile as she saw him poke his head out of his plane. "Okay, kid. Happy hunting." He said waving to her and she smiled.
"Last chance to come with." She heard Sam say next to her and wrap his arm around her waist.
"Yeah, well, unless you can find me an escalator, I think I'll pass." He joked through the walkie talkie and y/n giggled.
"All right. We'll see you in a few," she said waving before putting the walkie-talkie back on her belt loop.
"Well... let's go pay our respects to Captain Avery," Sam commented as he hopped down the little ledge with y/n. "A Scottish cathedral. Strange place to bury your treasure, no?" Sam said taking the lead as Nate and y/n followed him.
"Not really. I mean, by the time Avery would've sailed here, the place was already abandoned." Nate commented.
"I guess that's true. Plus, with the massive bounty on his head... it'd be a good place to hide." y/n chimed in as she walked next to Sam.
"So... what happened between the two of you and Rafe?" Sam said awkwardly as he turned around to look at Nate.
"Ah... I couldn't deal with him... and I'm pretty sure he'd have enough of me." Nate said and y/n nodded her head agreeing. "I was still coming to grips with your, uh... "death," and with his frustration from not finding the treasure... Well, I'm pretty sure he was ready to kill me by the time i bailed."
"Ha. Imagine what he'd want to do to you now." Sam said with a little chuckle looking at y/n with a small smile. "What about you hun?"
"Same with me but i was kind of kicked out due... to me slowing them down and i just went on another job." y/n said shrugging her shoulders as she placed her pockets. She wasn't technically lying but she didn't want to tell him just yet, and Sam gave her a look. "Can we get a move on? I'm freezing my tits out here." Y/n complained and started to walk again getting feelings in her legs.
"I told you to wear proper attire and not some leggings... though I'm not complaining at all.." She heard the suggestiveness in Sam's voice and she rolled her eyes.
"Keep your eyes on the treasure pretty boy. We're not done with this just yet." She sassed and looked back at him Nate sighed
"Sam, listen," Nate said as he knocked his brother out of his trance. "He's ruthless. I mean even more so than when we teamed up with him." Nate explained.
"Noo... what made you think that?" y/n sarcastically said, remembering Vargas death. He was kind of brutal but she friended him and she was sad to see him killed in cold blood. Nate ignored the sarcastic remark from the woman and continues "I mean, I've heard stories."
"Trust me, me too. All the more reason I don't feel bad about any of this." He stated and they continued making their way through the rusty terrain, and Sam spoke up again. "So is it just so how you remember it?" He asked his wife.
"Oh, the cathedral grounds?" She asked as she looked at him and he nods his head. "Pretty much. Although it's been too long, it's a little hazy." She stated as she tried to remember what it was supposed to look like.
y/n was the one who took the lead as they slid down a path and stopped over the ledge, and Sam looked over it and whistled. "That's a long drop."
"Yeah. We need to find another way down." Nate said as he went to another sliding part but this one didn't have a ledge. They then heard a bomb go off in the distance. They quickly made their way down and saw equipment everywhere.
"Huh... what do we have here?" Y/N said checking out the equipment as she walked around.
"It's excavation equipment," Sam said walking behind her keeping a close distance between them.
"Shoreline?" Nate asked in disbelief as he examined the stuff and y/n and Sam walk back to him saying "What?" at the same time. "Look," Nate said pointing at the crate that had their logo on it. "I thought they were by the cathedral!" Nate exclaimed they heard voices and Nate cursed under his breath as they got down.
"Look, they're here!" They heard a mercenary say as they hid behind a cover. Y/N took out her bow and arrow as she started to take down each mercenary with the help of Nate and her husband. When they finished, they were out of breath and got whatever ammo that was dropped. "okay, we're good." Y/n said as she retrieved her arrows that weren't broken.
"Yeah, nice to meet you too, shoreline. Seems like they were expecting us." Nate said as he took the lead again.
"Kind of figured that when we stole the crucifix away from them." y/n said walking behind him and Sam behind her.
"...And like they're searching away from the cathedral." Sam chimed in.
"Which means we should get to that graveyard pronto." Nate said and y/n and Sam agreed, as they made their way through the snowy terrain Sam said "Why didn't you guys search beyond the cathedral?"
"Well, we did... a little. But this place is so big, without know where to look... it's like shooting in the dark." Nate joked and y/n shook her head with a sigh, and they heard another explosion.
"Or like blowing shit up in the dark," Sam said and they turned the corner seeing a camp, and they jumped down. "What is this place?" Sam asked looking around.
"The monks had several living quarters... the main one being by the graveyard, of course," Y/N said as she walked next to him, and she heard him chuckle.
"Location, location, location." he joked which earned an elbow in the side.
"You are unbelievable." y/n said chuckling and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"More shoreline equipment," Nate stated a little far off.
"At least no shoreliners." y/n said moving away from Sam's arm, and they searched the camp. Y/N went up to the door and saw something in the box.
"What do we have here?" Y/N said picking up a stick of dynamite before turning to the boys. "Hey boys, look what i have found." She said with a smile as she held it up. The boys looked over to her as they were over by a crate.
They walked over to her and smirked as they all said at the same time "Dynamite."
"Hey, be careful with that stuff?" He said to Nate and y/n who were stuffing some more in their pockets.
"You're telling me to be careful?" y/n asked her husband as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey. I can't be worried about my wife." He said with a slight smirk as Nate turned around and threw the dynamite at the door exploding the already brindle wood and making y/n jump slightly.
"Jesus fuc- Can you give a little warning next time?" She asked as she rubbed her finger in her ear to get rid of the ringing.
"That was... very loud. Hopefully, they didn't hear us." Sam said as he looked at the now open area.
"Yeah, they heard that. I sure as hell won't be hearing for weeks." Y/N said talking a little loudly.
"Well, hopefully, we just blend in with the other explosion," Nate said as he through the blown-up doors and saw that there was an opening through the roof.
"Look there's a way up through the roof but it's too high for a boost though," Nate said examining the roof before running back to the crate with others following.
"Brace yourselves!" He said as he got behind the cover before he threw another stick of dynamite at the door making it explode. "There ya go. Take that, door." Nate joked as he started to push the door.
"Boy... you showed that door." Y/N joked and Sam chuckled at her joke before they followed him. Nate pushed it down on the ground and was about to go around the corner but they saw more shoreline showing up through the hole they saw.
"Shit! Shoreline! Hide!" Sam said as he pushed his wife down gently and Nate got behind cover.
They walked through the tall grass and tried to stealth kill everyone but they had to use some of their weapons to take some of them out.
"All right. Nicely done.... that could've been bad." Sam said out of breath as they took out the last shoreline Nate went to go push the yellow crate.
"Yeah, tell me about it... let's get it off here before anyone checks in on them." Y/N said before helping Nate push the crate faster to the hole. Once they got it by the hole and up against the wall, they climbed on top of it and out of the hole.
They walked over to a grappling hook branch and y/n was the one who did it this time. "Got it." She said as she swung back and forth before grabbing on the side of the rocks.
"Whoa be careful there hun," Sam said from the ledge as Nate went next.
"Don't worry about me, babe. Just worry about you getting over here." She said winking at him earning a chuckle from him. "Come on boys. We have treasure to find." Y/N said climbing up to the top. Nate went next and almost fell.
"Shit!" He yelled out as he jumped to the next ledge.
"Nathan, you okay?" Sam called out to him as he watched from the ground.
"I'm good... Just follow y/n." He said reassuring him and Sam shook his head following after his brother as the both of them went to where y/n was at.
Then Nate took the lead as he hooked the grappling hook again and swung across the wall. making it to the ledge.
"Whoo. All right, you think you can do that?" Nate said from above the ledge.
"What are you talking about? I taught you that move!" Sam shot back making y/n laugh.
"All right, let's see it then." Nate challenged with a smirk and Sam looked at y/n.
"Go ahead, sweetheart." He said with a smile and she rolled her eyes slightly. "What? I need to catch my breath."
"Uh-huh. This is why you need to stop smoking." Y/N commented and she did what Nate did easily and stood over the edge. "All right 'sweetheart', it's your time now." Y/N mocked back and she watched him do it as Nate went to another grappling hook.
"There, you see?" He said to her as he stood next to her and she leaned up to kiss his cheek.
"Glad you didn't fall to your death." She teased and she quickly followed after Nate he chuckled as they still heard the bombs going off in the distance getting closer as they progressed.
"There's a ladder out of reach," Y/N commented as she looked up at the ladder.
"All right, come over and I'll give you a boost," Nate stated to her and she nodded her head as she quickly went over to him and he boosted her up. He did the same to Sam and they tried to find a way to pull him up.
Sam found a ledge where he can pull Nate up as y/n looked around checking their surroundings. Nate joined next to her and saw the cathedral in the distance.
"All right, there it is. The monks' dorm. Just a hop, skip, and a jump away." Nate stated and y/n and Sam groaned.
"Ah, don't jinx us." Sam groaned as he rubbed his neck already feeling the pain kicking in as they started to slide down the hill to get to the lower level.
"Ah! Whoo, burns a little." Nate stated as he brushed his pants off.
"It feels like I was sitting on a nail couch," Y/N stated as she winced and brushed her butt off.
"Well, those are fun," Sam said chuckling to himself as they made their way to another sliding part.
"I'm still getting gravel out of my underwear." Y/N groaned slightly and she did it anyways hopping on the ledge afterward.
"...The next, he's paying us to double to wipe them out." Y/N heard a mercenary say and both of the men stopped next to her.
"I can do this all day," Sam stated and y/n shushed him pointing to the mercenary below them.
They saw that the mercenary split off and y/n jumped down and landed on the guy that was trying to take a leak and the others jumped down after her.
They snuck into the tall grass and took down some mercenaries with stealth. When the ones that were proving to be difficult y/n took them down with her bow and arrow.
When there were no mercenaries left, y/n took her time to look for her arrows that were unbroken so she collect them and Sam followed her.
"That was... kinda hairy," Sam commented out of breath as he made his way across the bridge and y/n nods her head in agreement.
"Someone was bound to hear all that. C'mon, let's get a move on." Nate said as he takes the lead he went to the ledge and jumped up where he was grabbing the rocks. He made enough room for the two of them as he continued to climb.
"Ladies first." Sam offered as he looked at her with a smile she rolled her eyes but smiled anyways.
"Such a gentleman." She said with such sarcasm as she followed Nate, and Sam followed after her. They went around the cliff before landing on the ground and y/n took the chance to use her grappling hook this time to swing across to the next platform.
They climbed up to where the ground was and set down their feet before stretching.
"Right beyond those walls," Nate commented as he looked at the wall structure in front of him. They slide down the gravel way and turned around where they saw three mercenaries and they took them out easily.
"Where to next?" Y/N stated when they took out mercenaries and Nate was already leading the way.
"Guys! This way!" He yelled back as he hopped to a platform and the two couples followed suit. They got to a sliding part on more gravel and y/n sighed not wanting to slide more.
"Catch your breath. There's more sliding up ahead. This one's looking a bit more dangerous." Nate said mostly to Sam as y/n was already next to him. Nate leaped once Sam was next to him cursing the whole way down and nearly missing the ledge.
"Okay, if he did it, I can do it," Sam said softly next to his wife.
"You have fun with that. I'll just watch you from back here." Y/n said patting his back before he made the leap and slid against the ground.
"Whoa. Whoa." He said as he slide to where Nate was and laughed as he stood up. "It's better than bungee jumping hun! It's your turn." He called back to his wife who was sliding down already.
"Ah fuck!" She screamed as she almost fell off the edge but she caught her balance off the side. "That was close.." She said sighing in relief.
"I wouldn't allow you to fall," Sam commented as he placed his arm out to catch her, and she gave him a grateful smile, and they continued.
"So, this is what the two of you been up to all these years? Jumping around ruins?" Sam asked as he trailed behind his wife and brother.
"Yeah. That and... Getting shot at." Nate answered strained as he jumped across a cliff, and y/n continued "Blown up. Punched. Kicked. Also, don't forget getting drugged."
"All right. All right. I get it." Sam said as he heard too much but Nate and Y/N continued climbing and sliding before they made it to the top and y/n admired the view for a couple of minutes.
"Haha. And that's it." Nate said making the moment ruined as Sam walked up to y/n.
"Ah, not quite. Still gotta climb higher to cross the ravine." Sam commented before kissing y/n's forehead and following after Nate who climbed up more.
"All right, I hope that we're done sliding for a while. My ass is full of gravel." Nate said as he made it to the other side.
"Ah, don't jinx it. I still have PTSD with that shit." Y/N muttered as she went after Nate with Sam following her as they heard more bombs going off in the distance, and they made it to another sliding part and y/n groaned loudly. "I SAID not to jinx it!"
Nate went first as he slide down and used his grappling hook and made it to the cliff laughing. "Stuck the landing!" He said calling back to the couple, and they made their way across as well seeing a door.
"Hey give me a hand," Nate said to Sam as they started to lift the part of the gate that was stuck.
"Alright. We got it. Go!" Nate said to y/n straining as they held the door open and y/n ducked under, holding the door open for the both of them to get under.
"And we're here," Nate said as he started to walk forward looking around as Sam dropped the door.
"Yes we are," Sam said laughing as he stood next to his wife with a smile on his face.
Y/N looked at both of them with a smile before saying. "Let's go grave robbing boys."
"Sully, don't worry about him. You know Nate. He's going to survive this." Y/N reassured him and placed her hand on his arm.
"I'm ain't worried about him. I am worried about the fact that the bidding is starting now, and Rafe will get that damn crucifix." Sully said taking a puff of his cigar, and y/n rolled her eyes.
"In a couple of minutes, we will start the bidding." Said the auctioneer and y/n started to bite on her bottom lip. "Come on Nate.." She muttered to herself. Just then she heard crackling on her earpiece and she took a sigh of relief.
"Sam? Sully? Y/N? You there?" he asked.
"God damn it, kid, where the hell have you been?" Sully asked, worried laced in his voice.
"I made it... Had a few close calls but..." He started but he was interrupted by y/n. "You need to cut the power right now. They are literally about to start the bidding."
"All right, well, I'm gonna need a minute before I can reach the panel."
"We don't have a minute, Rafe's about to walk out of here with your cross," Sully stated, which caught Nate's attention.
"Wait, what? Rafe? Rafe is here?"
"Yes, that son of a bitch is here and if he thinks that he is going to get that cross, he's going to..." Y/n started but was cut off by Sam. "Baby not the time. Yes, Rafe is here. And as of right now, he has the highest bid."
"Well outbid him."
"How are we gonna do that when we don't have that type of money?" y/n asked incredulously.
"Y/N, we're stealing it, remember?" Nate reminded them and y/n looked at Sully with a shrug. "He has a point."
"What if he calls our bluff?" Sully defended and Nate sighed
"He won't."
"Guys, if we do not get this cross, I am as good as dead," Sam said over the earpiece.
"Do you need to remind me every time?" Y/N complained and she took a bidding sign. "Screw it. I'll do it. You focus on getting to that panel." Y/N said getting to the floor.
"Since we have no other bids... going once... going twice.." The auctioneer started and y/n puts up her sign-up. "Bene! We have one hundred thousand euros in the room. Thank you do we have any other bids?" The auctioneer asked Rafe stared at her as he slowly raised his sign and y/n smirked back at him.
"We now have one hundred ten thousand euros in the room."
"In for a penny, in for a pound," Sully said, as y/n smirked as she lifted her sign up.
"That bid brings us to one hundred twenty." The auctioneer stated and Nate said, "You'll be out of there in no time."
"Oh take your time. I love seeing the look on Rafe's face." Y/N chimes happily as she saw Rafe's face grow angry with each bid. The bid was getting higher and higher and y/n's blood was running cold.
"Hey man. Starting to sweat bullets here." Sam said over the earpiece and y/n scoffed.
"You? You're not the one who is bidding," she said quietly.
"Yeah gimme a second," Nate said and the bid was up to one hundred eighty thousand.
"All right guys. I'm at the switch. You ready?" Nate said and y/n's sighed in relief.
"As I'll ever be. Victor? Y/n?"
"Just a sec," Y/n said back to him and smiled sweetly, and raised her sign. "The lady's bid: two hundred thousand euros."
"Five hundred thousand! Let's get this show on the road here." Rafe said looking over to her and she smiled at him before making a bowing motion.
"uh.. thank you. We have five hundred thousand euros in the room. Does the lady wish to bid again?" The auctioneer said everyone turned to her and she put her hands up before stepping back.
"Okay, my liege. Go take your throne." Y/N said sarcastically and the crowd chuckled
"Had me worried there for a minute, Y/N? Thought I might have to kill you!" Rafe said in a cheery tone but nothing about that was cheery.
"Over my dead body. He won't even come near you." she heard Sam say.
"Okay. Let's ruin this asshole's evening." Sully said laughing softly and y/n chuckled as well.
"Anyone else? We are going once... going twice... then i shall sell it for five hundred thousand..." She was cut short when the lights turned off and y/n felt someone grab her hand. "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm..." She didn't hear the rest because they were trying to make their way out the door where Nate and Sam went previously.
"Sam, tell me you got the cross.." Nate said coming through the earpiece.
"I got Saint Dismas right here, you want to say hi?" Sam joked and moved his arms around y/n's shoulder as they ran outside to the civilians trying to make their way to the front by the roofs.
"Yeah, we've kicked the hornet's nest down here. Ballroom's locked down, security's scrambling."
"Sully where is our getaway?" y/n asked quietly as she avoided the spotlights that the guards were swinging around searching the area.
"Come to the driveway out front... just follow the spotlights. I'll bring the car around." Sully answered as they heard guests in the background panicking.
"You ready sweetie?" Sam asks quietly as he gets a nod in return.
"As I'll ever be. I'm lucky that I'm wearing pumps for this." y/n joked as they saw that the guards moved away and they moved quickly in the shadows making their way toward the front.
That's when they heard gunshots starting to ring out and y/n became paranoid.
"Nathan, what's going on?" Sam asked over the earpiece as it got louder on his end.
"I'm being shot at."
"Told you, we should've brought guns," Sam said in disbelief and y/n hits his arm slightly.
"Ain't nobody thinks that this was going to happen Sam." y/n said rolling her eyes and he looked at her as he said, "We wouldn't be in this situation right now if we can fight back."
"I know, but for right now let's just stick to the sides and away from the flashlights." She said making the first move as she stayed underneath the balcony.
"How are we doing, Nathan?" Sam asked checking on his little brother and y/n smiled.
"I'm on my way... heading to higher ground to get my bearings," Nate said over the earpiece and y/n sighed in relief.
"Stay safe and we'll meet you there," y/n added in.
"All right," Nate said before his earpiece went silent.
The two couple made their way across the rooftops unnoticed but when they were close to the ballroom and the exit they saw three guards standing around and y/n and Sam went up to them and snapped their necks, and took their guns.
"Che cos 'era questo?" They heard another guard say and made their way to where they were standing Sam cursed under his breath before shooting the guard in his head making the other guards notice them.
"So much of that idea.." y/n mumbled as she joined Sam in the gunfight.
"All right, I'm at the car. Where the hell are you guys?" Sully said coming onto our earpiece.
"Ah, just met your friend Nadine Ross. She's lovely." Nate joked and y/n just sighed.
"Yeah? Well, it's chaos out here. They're trying to keep it contained, but everybody's freaking out. I don't wanna rush you, but.... hurry the hell up!"
"Nathan, where are you?!" Sam said after Sully got done explaining and he grabbed y/n's hand moving across the rooftop.
"Good question. You?" He answered back.
"We're by the ballroom. Look for this round sign thing, it's on the way." Y/N answered as they ran into more trouble and started to shoot at the guards.
"Good news is, we got a gun, see you soon." Sam finished for her and they took out the guards and sat behind a plotting bin as they waited for Nate but more guards came and they got out of their covers to start shooting.
Then they heard a crash and even more, guards showed up. They looked up to see Nate on the sign and y/n sighed as she saw that they were shooting at Nate.
"Nathan! What are you doing?" Sam called at him as he started to shoot at the guards along with y/n.
"Oh, you know! He's just hanging around! What's it look like?" y/n said sarcastically as she took down one guard and moved on to the next, but they started to shoot at them.
"Ah, shit! Get down babe!" Sam said grabbing her arm and pulling her down as he stood back up again. "Nathan! Catch!" He said tossing the gun towards Nathan who was far away from them and Nate caught it.
y/n looked at him in shock and noticed that he was a lot of buffer since he was in jail for fifteen years. They took down the guards with the help of Nathan and Sam pulled y/n up gently
"Nice shooting! You all right?" Sam screamed towards Nate as he was still hanging there.
"Yeah. Hanging in there." Nate called back and Sam laughed as y/n shook her head with a sigh.
"The two of you are unbelievable," Y/N commented and Sam looked at her with a smirk.
"You married a Drake hun. What did you think was going to happen?" Sam commented and y/n shrugged her shoulders.
"Something that will give me less grey hair, and something that will keep me up at night. The usual." Y/N said with a laugh and Sam laughed.
"This is why I love you." He said then he looked at Nathan who was making his way down. "We can't get to you from here. You have a way down?"
"Yeah. Yeah, i think so." Nathan said out of breath.
"Okay. We'll meet you at the driveway, just head towards the ballroom." Sam said taking y/n's hand and leading her away.
"All right see you there," Nate called out to them and they made their way toward the ballroom taking some of the guards out along the way.
"Sully, we're kinda stuck here, any ideas?" Y/N called him onto the earpiece.
"Fastest way is through the ballroom."
"You said that the ballroom is locked down." Sam retorted as he headed towards the ballroom.
"Yeah, well now that they know it's you guys, they cleared the place out," Sully said and y/n cursed under her breath for the umpteenth time today.
"Ballroom it is. You get that, Nate?" Y/N asked over the earpiece as they sneakily made their way to the ballroom.
"Yeah.. I'll be there in a second." He said and they got pinned down at the ballroom where there were too many guards.
"Nathan, we're pinned in here! We could use a hand!" Sam panicked which got y/n to panic as well. She never heard Sam panic before.
"On my way right now," Nate said back. They tried to take out as many as they can but more and more came, and Nate swung through the window behind them.
"Jesus Christ! Nate?!" y/n asked as she was behind the covers and lifted her head to look at him.
"Hey. How's it going?" Nate said in disbelief that happened.
"Uh... i think I'm done with this auction, huh?" Sam joked and y/n laughed nervously at that.
"You can say that again," Y/N mumbled and she started to shoot.
"All right boys and girls, change of plan! Too many people trying to leave, the driveway's all jammed up."
"All right Sully. What's your backup?" y/n asked as she was trying to talk over the gunfight and shooting her gun.
"There's that fountain just outside the ballroom. I'll meet you there." Sully suggested and the three of them nodded their heads.
"Got it. Let's go!" Nate said they started to shoot again and they were able to take down all the guards.
They started to make their way to the side doors but more of them showed up.
"You bastards don't know when to give up!" Y/N called out to them as she headshot on guard as they ran out the door and to the steps.
"Sully we're running out of time here!" Nate called out.
"Hold on, kid... nearly there!" Sully said struggling slightly over the earpiece. They shot at the guards that were on the steps and made their way down the steps to the small courtyard where the fountain was at. "Almost there," Sully said coming again through the earpiece.
"Unless you're driving a hearse, you better hurry." Nate joked as he kept shooting. They were able to shoot down some of them until they saw Sully crash through the hedges with a white car.
"Someone call for a limo." He joked as the three made their way to him. They got into the car, Nate was first then y/n was in the middle, and then Sam, and they shut the door.
"Hang on!" Sully screamed as they turned around quickly and tire screeched their way out of there.

They were all at the table where they stared at the crucifix. Sam puts down his shot and takes a hammer and grabs the crucifix.
"I hope I don't go to hell for this." He joked and y/n rolled her eyes who was already in her casual attire and was standing next to Sam.
He broke the crucifix and looked inside it and his face dropped. "Shit.." he mumbles.
"What?" Nate asked as he sat closer and y/n looked at him worriedly.
"It's empty." He said looking back up at them and they looked shocked.
"What?!" It was now y/n's time to say it, and Sam turned the crucifix around shaking it as a paper fell out they all groaned as y/n punched his arm hard. "Don't do that to me asshole."
"He's your husband," Sully said back.
"Yeah and sometimes i regret marrying him," Y/n stated playfully and she stuck her tongue out at said husband.
"Alright. Skull and crossbones. Very good sign." Nate said getting a good look at the sigil.
"That's Avery's insignia..." Y/N and Sam said together and Sam started to pull away the stamp carefully and unroll it. He examined it and got confused. "What is this? Ah... "Hodie mecum eris in Paradiso," Sam said trying to read it.
"Today you will join me in paradise." Y/N translated and San looked at her with a small smile.
"In paradise... It's what Jesus said to Saint Dismas on the cross, but..." Sam said a little confused. "But what about these numbers here? What do you make of this?" Sam asked turning the paper around and y/n got a closer look.
"Some kind of code? Or a phone number?" Sully joked leaning back as he smoked his cigar.
"C'mon guys. They're dates.." Y/N started and the men looked at her, and y/n pointed it out. "Look. 1659.."
"The year Avery was born," Sam said interrupting her and she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"And 1699. The year he supposedly "died"." Y/N said putting air quotation when she said Sam smiled even bigger at her, and she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You talk about the treasure before even in your sleep." She admitted and saw how his cheeks went slightly red.
"Ah... well.." He said shyly and y/n leaned down kissing his cheek, and he looks down at the paper. "That means we have the date of birth, date of death, and "paradise"."
"Which means we're looking for... Avery's grave." Y/N said as Nate looked behind him and then back to them.
"At Saint Dismas' Cathedral," Nate said with a smile, making the two couple smile with him.
"Wait a second... Hasn't Rafe been scouring that site for ages already?" Sully asked as he leaned back.
"Yeah, the cathedral. See these symbols? These are found on old Scottish gravestones. Right?" Nate explained pointing to the symbols then he pulled out a map. "The layout of this place is unusual. Here's the Cathedral..." Nate said pointing to a spot.
"And this is where the graveyard is at... huh." y/n said pointing to another place and y/n hummed.
"Rafe's been focusing on the wrong area," Sam said butting in and Nate smiled as he said. "Exactly."
"Guys. We're going to Scotland." Y/N said getting excited as she hasn't done this for years. y/n moved to stand in between Sam and Nate as they looked at the map.
"All right, all right. Wait.. wait up. You do realize that Rafe knows your coming?" Sully said as he said looking at the downside of this but he has a point.
"Yeah, we can deal with that when we get there," Nate said not caring about Rafe.
"That psycho would like nothing better than for you to show up," Sully said trying to talk them out of it. "Plus he's got Nadine and her whole army to back him up."
"Yeah but he doesn't have this," Y/N said pointing to the clue that they stole. "That rich boy doesn't know what he is doing." she insulted and she high-fived Nate.
"The biggest pirate treasure of all time is within our grasp." Nate finished.
"I thought this was about saving Sam," Sully said pointing to Sam and y/n looked down at the table. He was right and she completely forgot about that because of all of the adrenaline that happened within the past couple of hours.
"It is. But come on, it's both, right? We need the treasure to save Sam." Nate explained.
"How is Elena cool with all this?" Sully asked then looked over to y/n directing the question to her about Mya, and they both stayed quiet. "Oh, Jesus, kids," Sully muttered in disappointment.
"Look, it's just not that simple," Nate said finally.
"With all that you two have been through together..." Sully started but was interrupted by Nate. "She wouldn't understand this." and Sully finished. "You are not giving her enough credit."
"I can't take that chance," Nate said pleadingly and y/n placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Nathan, he's right. I would've told y/n if she wasn't going so she wouldn't be going." Sam said looking at y/n then looked at Nate.
"I would've been shocked if you called me out of nowhere when you should've been dead." She said with a half-hearted chuckle. "But Nate, things are going to get a little dicey out there.. and Elena won't be too happy with a dead husband." y/n said squeezing his shoulder he thought about it before standing up and walking to the balcony as he took out his phone.
Sam grabbed the bottle to pour him some bourbon and then Sully but he pulled his cup away, and Sam sighed.
"Something on your mind, dear?" Sam said as he goes take a drink from his cup, as y/n checked her phone.
"I have to make a call so I'll be right back." She said walking to her room as she checked the contact for her daughter.
The phone ranged a couple of times before her daughter picked up. "Hey, mom!"
"Hi, Mya! How was school today?" She asked glad to hear her voice again. She leaned against the dresser as she listened to what her daughter was telling her putting her input into it.
"That sounds all great, but i miss you," Y/N said with a smile.
"I miss you too mom... When are you coming home and where are you?"
"I don't know hun. Sometime soon hopefully and right now we're in Italy," she said and she heard her daughter gasp.
"Italy?! I always wanted to go!"
"Maybe when I get back we'll make a trip here." She said chuckling and smiling.
"Yay! Oh, Aunt Elena is calling me for school." She heard her daughter rushing with her things.
"Alright. Have a great day at school and i love you, baby. I'll try to contact you when I can."
"I love you too! Bye, mom!" Mya said before hanging up.
Y/N's smile faded and she sighed. She's going to have to tell Sam soon about Mya and she doesn't know how would he react.
She felt a pair of arms wrap around her and she jumped slightly. She felt a pair of lips on her shoulder and the stubbles of a beard.
"Who were you talking to?" She heard Sam's deep voice in her ear and she shivered slightly, and she can also hear the anger slightly in her voice.
"Nobody important.." She hummed softly as she placed her hands on his arms, and she heard him sigh.
"You know... if you moved on, please let me know so i won't get hurt.." Sam said softly as he buried his nose into her shoulder. She widened her eyes slightly and she quickly turned around in his arms cupping his cheeks. If she wanted to move on then she would've over the 15 years that he has been gone.
"Baby.. if i wanted to move on I could've done that by now, but a part of my heart was telling me that you were still alive.. so I didn't.." She explained as she brushed her lips against his softly.
"I know but I'm just afraid that you will leave me... The reason why i got out of jail or even did this in the first place was to see you again." He said tightening his arms around his waist. She felt her heart tighten and she took a shaky breath.
"You're not going to lose me... Not when you need me right now." She said looking into his eyes and he stared back deep into her eyes.
"God i love you so much." He said softly as he placed his forehead against hers.
"I love you too.." she said rubbing her nose against his before kissing him deeply.
With the help of Sam, y/n climbed inside and fixed her top as he closed the Window and y/n looked up at Sully with a huge smile as he puffed out smoke.
"Know what I love about partying with a bunch of crooks?" He said reaching over to turn on the light and Nate smiled even more.
"What's that?"
"Nobody cares if you smoke indoors." Sully said as he had his cigar hanging from his lips and he stood up and y/n giggles walking closer to Nate and Sully as they hugged
"It's been a while." Nate said pulling away.
"Too long boyo." Sully said smiling and he turned to y/n with even a bigger smile. "Hey y/n. It's been a while with you too. You look good." He said opening his arms and she welcomed the hug.
"Hi Sully. You look like you haven't aged a day." She said as she pulled back with a even bigger smile.
"Same to you. How is Mya?" Sully questions and y/n gave a look and motioned to Sam with her eyes, and he gave a surprised look along with a disappointed look. "Ah nevermind that.." He grumbled.
"You remember my 'dead' husband right?" She said turning to Sam who walked next to her and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Victor." Sam said not really trusting Sully again.
"I'll be goddamned. Fifteen years..." Sully said not really believing that he was alive.
"Yep." Sam said uninterested and y/n glared at him.
"Good to see you alive Sam." Sully said holding out his hand to shake Sam's.
"Mm-Hmm." Sam hummed once again uninterested which earned him a hard elbow in his ribs from his wife. "Ow.."
"Let's uh... try to keep him alive by getting this cross, huh?" Nate cuts in the awkward conversation.
"Yeah uh... about that..." Sully said as he started to walk away and the three of them looked at each other worriedly.
"What? What about that?" Sam said worriedly as he spoke out of the three.
"C'mon, let me show you something." Sully said looking back at them and motioned for them to follow him as he made his way to the door and the other three followed suit. They came upon a balcony that overlooked the auction and they looked down upon it. "Take a look."
They seen that the cross that they needed was up next and y/n cursed under her breath. "That's Avery's cross." Nate said taking the words right out of her mouth.
"They brought it out of storage just before you guys got here."
"They changed the lot order." Sam said now leaning over the ledge to get a better look.
"Take a whole pile of cash to make that happen." Sully said smoking from his cigar.
"All right, well how long before they start the bidding?" Nate asked as he looked at Sully. "Ten, fifteen minutes tops." Sully said and Nate scoffed. "Well there's gotta be some way to grab it."
"There us just the small matter of a few hundred eyewitnesses down there, Nate." Y/N stated as she looked at him ridiculously.
"Okay, okay... but we just need a diversion." Nate said thinking. "Like?" Sully asked and Nate got perplexed. "Like... Like I don't know.... but there's gotta be something."
"Well, if the guards see us making for that cross..." Sully started but y/n interrupted him. "What if they don't see us?" She said looking at them with a smirk, and Sam chuckled.
"She has a point. Jesus, you guys act like you've never spent time in prison." Sam said wrapping his arm around her waist and pulls her closer. "If you want something dirty done... you wait.."
"For lights out." Sully and Nate said together as they looked at each other.
"Bingo." y/n said and she started to pull out the blueprints. "So what we need to do is get to the electrical panels." She said unfolding the paper and placing it on the table that was next to them. "Which is right here." She said pointing to the spot and the men gather around her.
"So we just have to climb up in the ventilation and kill the lights..." Nate said as he scanned the map.
"Grab the cross in the dark." Sam finished.
"There will be an emergency generator." Sully stated with his cigar hanging out of his mouth.
"That'll give us a few seconds of darkness to work with." Y/N said as he fold the map back up.
"Meaning... we have to be right next to the cross when the lights go out." Sam said.
"Except there's no way we can get that close without being notice." Sully said contradictively.
"Scusate, signori... antipasti?" The lady waiter said walking up to them holding out a tray of appetizers. (Sorry, gentleman.... appetizers?)
"I'm all set." Nate said waving her off and Sam gave her a look.
"Hi. How are you?" He said flirty as he took a appetizers and the lady started to walk away. He turned back to the group and earned a glare from his wife as he stuffed his face.
"Really?" She asked in disbelief.
"What?" He asked shrugging his shoulders and y/n scoffed.
"Would you focus?" Nate said pushing his shoulder harshly.
"A waiter wouldn't get noticed." Sam said pointing his thumb towards the waitress who was walking back down from the balcony.
"That could work." Sully praised.
"That will work." Nate said correcting him. "All right, I'll get to the breaker room, kill the power."
"You mean I'm the waiter?" Sam asked licking his fingers.
"You're the best pickpocket." Nate then turned to y/n and Sully. "The two head down to the floor, keep an eye on the prize, okay? Let us know if anything, uh... hinky goes down?"
"All right." Sully said with a smirk and y/n gave nate a weird look
"What does hinky even mean?" she questioned and nate looked at her incredulously.
"Let's... let's just do this." Nate said making his way to the steps and the other three followed as Sam tried to place his arm around y/n's waist but she moved out of his touch making him shocked and hurt.
"Wait, what did i do?" Sam asked confused and y/n ignored him earning a sigh from him.
"All right, follow me. We'll cut through the cellar." Sully said taking the lead through the guests and down the steps. They made small talk as they walked through the crowd, and y/n walked out on to the balcony and leaned against the railing. Sam followed suit afterwards leaning against the railing next to her.
"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Sam said after being quiet for a couple of minutes.
"It's just... it's just that it's weird that i get to see you again after all these years.. it feels like you were never dead." y/n said playing with her ring on her finger.
"Well... i am sorry if daddy didn't come home after all of these years. I was trying to save my own life so I wouldn't put the burden on you." He said placing his arm around the curve of her hip.
"Sam... you know that I will help you. Even your own brother. We are supposed to be in this together." She said looking up to him and smiles softly. "You remember our wedding vows? 'till death do us part?"
"Yeah... well..." Sam said softly as he looked over to the mountain with a small smile on his face. "So who is this Mya I keep hearing about?" Sam said looking back to her and she got scared as her blood ran cold, and he continued. "If that's your new lover, I'm not against it at all. I might be in on the acti..." he was stopped by y/n who.was laughing her ass off. "What? What's so funny?"
"It's nothing like that! if you really think that I'm going to move on after all of these years, you're funny." She said calming her laughter that turned into fits of giggles. He stared at her incredulously, before chuckling.
"God I love you so much." He said turning towards her and wrapping both his arms around her waist and she turned around his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"And I you." She said with a small smile as she leaned up and gave him a sweet kiss before pulling away. "Come on. We have a heist to pull off." She said linking her arm with his and pulled back.
"Okay.. okay.. So is that a no on the threesome?" He asked as they walked back to the auction and y/n scoffed.
"Big fat no." She said in a straight voice which made him laugh. They made it downstairs to where Nate and Sully was standing with worried looks on their faces. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" Y/N asked with worry laced in her voice.
"What's wrong is, Sully forgot to mention that the door was locked." Nate said in disbelief.
"What did i say kid? The door wasn't locked when i got here." Sully defended himself and they took a quick glance at the door to make sure that they wasn't suspicious.
"Well, now what? Can we pick it?" Sam suggested as he got closer to the door.
"No. It looks like its electronic so we need a key card." y/n stated as she fixed her jacket.
"We're gonna have to find another way in.." Sully started but was interrupted when they heard the door unlock and they quickly backed away from the door as it opened, and a waiter came out with a bottle of wine looking at them with suspicion before walking off.
"You see that?" Sam said as he looked at the waiter.
"Keycard... back left pocket." Sully responded and y/n slipped away from them without them noticing.
"I'm on it." Nate said and he tried to walk away but Sam stopped him.
"Oh, whoa, whoa. You sure you wanna do that? There's a lot of eyes out here." Sam asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"I think i can handle a little.." Nate started but was interrupted when they looked over to see y/n trip slightly on the man, and he held her up.
"Mi scusi signore. Sono terribilmente dispiaciuto per l'inciampo. Sono un po' ubriaco." She said feigning being drunk, as she swiftly took the keycard out of his pocket. (Excuse me, sir. I am terribly sorry for the stumbling. I am a little drunk.)
"Va bene signorina. vai a prendere un po' d'acqua." He stated as he helped her stand back up then pat her shoulder then she stumbled her back to the men and the waiter turned away.
When she was far away, she walked normally as the men stared at her awe. "What? The two of you can't have all the fun?" She said smirking as she handed Nate the key and Sam chuckled as he leaned over to kiss her nose slightly.
"That's my girl." He said with a smirk as he placed his arm around her waist, as Nate unlocked the door.
"Now let's try this again." Sully said as he took out four earpieces from his pocket. "We're going to need these."
"Great. Now we're going to be like James Bond." Y/N joked as she got the others to chuckle.
"Good luck." Sully said as he patted Nate's shoulder as he went through.
"We'll be in touch." Nate called back quietly and y/n kissed Sam's cheek.
"Be careful in there okay?" she said pulling away and he chuckled as he said "When am I never careful?" and she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Ah nevermind... you just do the same." He said as he walked through and Sully shut the door behind them.
"Are you ready?" Sully asked y/n as she fixed her shirt and he held his arm out to her.
"I'm always ready." She said walking with him to the middle of the floor and they looked around.
Y/n heard footsteps coming up to them and she was about to turn around until a voice stopped her.
"Hands in the air." She heard a very thick accent say and she frowned as the both of them turned around slowly. "Hi victor." Nadine said smiling slightly towards him and she looked at y/n who she quickly frowned at. "Hello y/n..."
"I'm surprised that they allowed a hoochie to this type of party." y/n stated with a smirk as she seen Nadine seethe with anger. Nadine was about to say something but Sully cuts her off.
"Hello Nadine. Pleasure to see you again." Victor said with a tight smile.
"Not a pleasure for me.." Y/N muttered as she checked her fingernails.
"It's not for me either." Nadine stated then she looked at Sully with a smile. "Only this time, I've got the drop on you." She said placing finger gun against his chest.
"Well, I guess I should be glad that's not a real gun." Sully said with a fake chuckle. "Hardly recognize you outta your fatigues."
"Yeah.. You know how it is." She said not really wanting to talk. "Every once in a while a job requires us to get all... "dolled up." Though we don't have to look like a whore." She said referring to y/n who wanted to stick her middle finger up at her. "Looking sharp by the way." She said to Sully and he took a puff of his cigar.
"Not too bad yourself." Victor complimented back and smiled.
"I feel so outta place here. Can't tell you what a relief it is to run into another English speaker.... even if you are American." Nadine said turning to stand next to Sully.
"You'll have to blame both of our parents for that." Sully said standing next to Y/N.
"I was on my way to the bar. Can i get you something?" Nadine asked Sully. "Yeah, scotch on the rocks."
"I'll have a..." Y/N started but Nadine cuts her off. "Be right back." She said walking off and y/n said underneath her breath "bitch.." and Sully chuckled.
"Nate. You catch all that?" Sully said quietly through the earpiece.
"Yes, I did... sounds like a lady's trying to but you a drink." Nate said through the earpiece.
(bold for Nate, italics for Sully, underlined for y/n, and bold and underlined for Sam.)
"That wasn't just no ordinary lady Nate. That was Nadine Ross."
"Nadine Ross... Wait, doesn't she own that army-for-hire? What's it called, Coastline?"
"Shoreline."
"Yeah, right. Thought you had a run-in with them?"
"That's putting it mildly. I really hate that bitch though.."
"Ah that's my girl..."
"Fortunately, she does not seem to be holding a grudge to us. Well mostly towards me. She basically turned into a bull when she saw y/n."
"I'm good to go here."
"Alright... Listen, we're all set, Sully. You two, uh, stay out of trouble, okay?"
"We should say that to the two of you, and Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"Stay safe and i love you..."
"I love you too and I will."
The line went silent and y/n took a deep breath.
"You should really tell him about Mya." Sully said as he placed his hand on the bottom of her back.
"I know... but, I'm... I'm not ready to tell him just yet. I'm afraid to tell him if he just died again." Y/N said looking down to the table.
"I know, but he has a right to know." Sully said and y/n nodded her head.
"I know, I know.." She said looking up to him and smiled softly as Sully rubbed her back.
"Take your time. You know I'm not rushing you." Sully stated as Nadine returned with their drinks.
"Ah I might as well get my drink since some bitch didn't.." Y/N said to herself and Sully and he slightly nudged her in the side as she walked off.
She was on her way to the bar when she bumped into someone slightly.
"ah, scusami. Mi dispiace." She said in Italian thinking it was a waiter, but she looked up to see Sam. (ah, sorry. I'm sorry.)
"Mia moglie è così bella." He said with a smirk and she smiled back. (My wife is so beautiful.)
"Oh, Sam. I hardly recognize you." She said as she ran her hand down his stomach showing how tight the dress shirt was on him especially the pants and noticed that it was getting slightly bigger.
"That's the plan right." He said as he chuckled slightly. "I'll be with you in a little bella. I have to get into place." He said lifting her hand to his lips and kissing the back of it before walking off.
She ordered herself a champagne and started to make her way back to Sully just as she seen Rafe walk up and she cursed under her breath.
"Well then he might as well be dead, right?" He said laughing as he saw y/n and the outfit she was wearing. "Victor Sullivan, y/n Drake! Or y/n l/n. I really don't know anymore." He stated with a smirk and she seethed slightly. "How the hell are the two of you?"
"Rafe." He said placing his cigar in his mouth and shaking Rafe's hand. "How long has it been? Ten years? Twelve?" Rafe asked as he shook his hand before pulling it away.
"Fifteen." Y/N corrected, and Rafe chuckled. "It's amazing. All these years gone by, here we are... we're still haggling over dead people's junk." She said chuckling even more.
"Really? Aren't you the rich pansy boy that is living off his parents wealth?" Y/n insulted but Rafe kept his cool.
"I'm running my business now, so it's my money." Rafe said in a scarily calm tone.
"Ho Ho. That is one helluva day job. You could probably afford to buy up everything on the block tonight." Sully joked and Rafe smiled. "Well sure... but what would be the point in that? These days I'm only looking for the... good stuff. Big scores." Rafe said with a smirk and y/n's eyes slightly widened as he continued. "Any advice on what I should pick up tonight?" y/n was going to say something smart but Sully nudged her gently.
"Ha. Yeah, like I'd want to bid against him." Sully joked looking at Nadine and Rafe chuckled. "But, um, just between you and me... I did notice they changed the order." Sully said getting closer to Rafe and said under his breath. "I think somebody might be trying to rig this auction."
"Well remember where we are. This crowd didn't get rich by playing fair." Rafe stated making the other woman and him nod their head.
"Which is why you really need someone watching your back in a place like this." Nadine budged in as she stood next to Rafe.
"Ah.." Sully said smiling a fake smile. "Well, i do hate to break it to ya... You are working for a American.
"With. We've partnered up on this one." Nadine stated as she pointed towards Rafe who nodded.
"I see. Talk about a power couple." Sully said chuckling.
"Or a pimp and his whore." y/n muttered to herself which earned another nudge from Sully.
"In a few moments we'll begin bidding on our next item.. an inlaid wooden crucifix from the Trott Estate." They heard the auctioneer say and y/n cursed to herself.
"Well, i know when I'm a third wheel. You two kids have fun tonight." Sully said as he tried to walk off with y/n but Rafe grabbed his arm.
"Just hold on, Sully. How'd you find out about it? Did she tell you?" Rafe asked nodding over to y/n who rolled her eyes.
"It? Now what it is that Rafe?" Sully asked feigning ignorance. "Nadine, I think your partner here has had too many Bloody Mary's..." He started but Rafe knocked his drink out of his hand and y/n stepped forward to protect Sully.
"Cut the bullshit, old man! Now I don't know how you and your little sidekick scammed your way into here. But if you think... about getting Avery's cross, I can tell you exactly how you're going to be leaving. In a goddamn body bag.." He was stopped by y/n who came up close to him.
"Listen here you rich asshole.. You wouldn't have known where to fucking look if we didn't help you. So fuck off, and go suck your own..." Y/n started in anger but Sully pulled her back as he noticed everyone was staring. Rafe chuckled and patted Sully's shoulder.
"Well... you get my point, and so do you." Rafe said looking at the both of them and y/n just glared right back.
"Lovely seeing you both." Sully said grabbing y/n's arm and pulled her away. When he was far away he contacted Nate. "Nate? Nate?! Rafe is here. Where the hell are you?!"
They stood over a cavern and looked down to the estate that they were supposed to be at but here they were above it waiting for the signal.
Nate was sitting looking at the blueprint of the estate while Sam was looking through the window with the binoculars.
"You see anything yet?" Nate asked as he looked at the blueprints with y/n.
"Just a bunch of high class, low-life criminals, all cleaned up for prom, and no signs from Sullivan yet." Sam said from above them which made y/n snort in amusement.
"That reminded me when you got us that reservations at the restaurant and proposed to me." Y/N said looking down to the paper with a small smile and Sam chuckled to himself.
"Yeah... We couldn't afford anything on that menu so we dine and dashed." Sam said as he put the binoculars down.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Focus on the mission here." Nate said snapping his fingers towards them and y/n rolled her eyes. "And there is still plenty of time anyways for Sullivan to show." Nate stated after getting playfully annoyed then looked back down to the blueprint. "Looks like the storage room is in the building behind the manor." Nate said pointing to the area for y/n. "Do you see it from here?" He asked Sam
"Just at the very top." Sam said straining slightly as he stood up more.
"Sounds easy enough. I'll get there myself." y/n said getting ready to leave but Nate grabbed her arm, and she turned to look at him. "what?"
"That is a no go missy. Nate already called that." Sam said putting down his binoculars and earned a pout from y/n.
"Then what am i supposed to do? Stand there and act pretty." She argued and she crouched next to Nate again.
"Exactly, but you are also out lookout along with Sully so you have something to do as well." Nate stated and he placed the blueprints inside his pocket.
"Do we really trust Sully? It'd be a whole lot simpler if it was just the three of us." Sam said jumping down from the cliff to where Nate and y/n was standing.
"Sam.." y/n started and placed her hand on her forehead already getting a headache.
"We could already be inside." Sam said pointing to the manor.
"Yeah. Not cleanly." Nate chipped in as he started to fix his shoes and y/n nodded
"Have the two of you even thought about a backup plan in case Sullivan gets cold feet?" Sam continued which y/n sighed.
"Which he wouldn't.." y/n mumbled and Sam looked at her.
"And how would you know that?"
"Sam.. he knows the people that runs the auction. He's going to schmooze his way right through that party, get upstairs, unlock the window, and we're in." Nate explained again as he looked up from his shoes. "It's a solid plan." He finished as he stood up and walked over to the cliff again with his binoculars.
It was quiet for a couple of seconds and y/n counted to herself. '3.. 2.. 1..'
"What if he stole the cross for himself?" Sam blurted and y/n sighed 'and there it goes.' y/n said to herself as she walked over to her husband.
"Not in a million years honey. If i know Sullivan and which I do. He won't do that to us." Y/n said cupping his face and making him look at her trying to calm him down but it didn't help.
"Victor Sullivan. The same Victor we're talking about, right?" Sam said pulling away as he looked at the both of them.
"Yes, he's double crossed people in the past, but not us." Nate chipped in again and y/n placed her hand on Sam's arm.
"No. Not the two of you." He said pointing to Nate.
"I know you two have never seen eye to eye.." Nate said turning to face him and Sam scoffed as he interrupted him.
"Huge understatement.." He muttered.
"But we trust him hun. He's like family." y/n said placing her hand on the lower part of his back and Sam looked at her and she smiled back.
"And i need you to trust him too." Nate said looking through the binoculars and muttered to himself "Eventually..."
"But, I mean, come on, you have to at least just for one second consider the possibility.." He started until Nate cuts him off.
"There!" He said placing the binoculars down and handing them to Sam. y/n looked over to see the light flashing in the window, and she smiles. "See. Trust." Nate said with a cocky smile and Sam looked at him before zipping up his jumpsuit making Nate stumble a little.
"Just try to keep your tux clean." Sam said before walking off and jumping down the side of the cliff with y/n and Nate followed after.
"Yeah thanks." He said unzipping it slightly making y/n chuckle slightly as she looked at the view and Sam walked up behind her wrapping his arm around her waist.
"You missed a lot over the years.." She stated not looking at him and she sighed softly.
"I know.. That's why I am back to make up for it." He stated softly as he sighed, y/n bit her bottom lip as she wanted to tell him about Mya but was interrupted by Nate.
"Come on slowpokes! We need to get there." He said looking at them as he started to jog backwards, and y/n finally turned her head to Sam.
"We'll talk about this later. We have a job to do that involves saving your life." She said with a small smile that had a hint of hurt and she moved out of Sam's arms to catch up with Nate.
"I can't believe that I'm out though. Can't believe I'm here.. with my baby brother and my wife... in Italy, huh?" Sam said catching up with them and started to lead the way.
"I can still hardly believe that you are alive." y/n said with a small smile that she can actually see her husband.
"Yeah, me either.. just wish the circumstances were less tense. You know?" Nate said as he stopped to look around.
"Yeah, well..."
"Besides.. it's more enjoyable that way." Nate said taking the lead and y/n nodded her head as she made a little hop across a platform.
"Oh.. uh... so this... this isn't your first time here?" Sam asked in shock.
"No, its more like... third? Had a couple of odd jobs." Nate said looking back to him.
"It's my second. I came here for vacation with them the first time, because I... uh needed some alone time." y/n said not wanting to state the real reason and she cleared her throat, and Sam gave her a look which she ignored.
It was quiet for a while as they continued to jog towards the manor. They made it to the bridge where they had to use their grappling hooks.
"There is no way up onto the bridge." Sam stated the obvious and y/n rolled her eyes.
"There is an exposed beam up there that we can use." y/n said pointing towards the beam and Sam walked up to her and Nate.
"You think you can rope it?" Sam said holding the hook out to Nate and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Do I think i can rope it?" Nate said offended as he grabbed it. "Hmph.. watch this." He said as he swirled it in his hand.
"I'm watching." Sam said standing back with y/n as the said woman crossed her arms over her chest. Nate went for the first throw but he missed it.
"I, uh, missed it." Nate said dejectedly as he roped it back in to him making Sam laugh and y/n giggled.
"Well, you see, it's... ah, all in the wrist. Here let me see it." Sam said about to step forward but y/n was quick grabbing it out of Nate's hand.
"Nope I got it. Watch and learn boys." She said with a smirk as she tossed it with ease and made it on her first try making Sam smile slightly.
"That's my girl." He said putting his hand on her shoulder, and Nate grumbled to himself.
"I could've had it if you let me do it again." Nate grumbled as he watched y/n swing over to the wall and hold on to it as she start to climb her way around.
"No you didn't." Sam said placing his hand on his shoulder before Nate jumped off the side of the cliff following y/n's lead.
"You see that?" Nate called out to him like a child and y/n laughed at Sam's response.
"oh like a pro." Sam said sarcastically and Nate rolled his eyes.
"Your turn!" Nate said ignoring his comment and they both stopped in their tracks to watch him, and he made it over to where they were.
"okay. so where to next?" Sam said as he hanged next to y/n as they looked around for their next move, and Nate pointed out as he hopped to the side.
"hey.. bet we can swing off that beam up their." He said as he made his way towards it as the couple followed Nate.
"Definitely." Y/N said struggling a little bit as she climbed next to Nate and huffed out.
"Are you alright Sweetheart?" Sam called out from below and y/n gave him a little nod.
"I've been out of practice for a while so i am a little out of shape." y/n said a little out of breath as she climbed up.
"A little? It looks like you gained some weight." Sam commented and y/n glared at him before kicking some rocks at him. "Ow! What was that for?" He complained but y/n ignored him.
"I need the rope Sam." Nate stated getting him out of trouble for the mean time.
"Alright, just climb over me I've... I've got a good grip." Sam said as he climbed to Nate's place and Nate swiftly climbed over him and went to where Sam was originally at. "Okay here we go.." Sam got out the rope and tossed it where it swung around the pole and stayed in place and he gave a chuckle before looking back at Nate. "Haha.. First try."
"Alright. No one likes a show off." Nate said rolling his eyes and y/n giggles as Sam started to swing on the rope.
"Though i get first bragging rights because i was the first one who did it." y/n said sassily as she went next and gracefully grabbed the rope before swinging where Sam was at.
"Though i get first bragging..." She heard Nate mock her and she had a smirk on her face as he swiftly joined them.
Sam quickly shushed Nate and y/n as they heard voices. They peaked over the ledge to see two bodyguards talking and smoking before they went inside the door.
"okay. we're good." Nate stated as he climbed over the ledge and made his way through the lemon garden with Sam and y/n following.
"Thank god i get a little break from climbing." y/n said taking deep breaths as she looked at the lemon trees with a small smile taking in the scenery not noticing a certain male was watching her.
"I'm sorry to ruin the moment.. but did you see him? That rent-a-thug was packing some serious heat." Sam said clearing his throat as y/n turned around to face them.
"Yeah that means that we have to be extra careful tonight and make sure anything goes without a hitch. Meaning only take what we came here for." She gave a look to the two boys and they looked at her offended.
"Shoulda brought guns." Sam said and y/n glares at him as she shakes her head.
"What did I just say? It's going to make everything worse and we're not going to need it." Y/n said as she started to run off with the boys.
"Also we're going to pull this off so smoothly." Nate said confidentially and y/n had a pin on the back of her head that things aren't going to go they way that they had planned.
"All those years... it's the little things that you missed the most." Sam said walking up to the wall that separated the cliff and y/n walked up next to him leaning against it.
"Yeah... you be so busy with one thing and you won't able to settle down and just enjoy the view." y/n said softly as she looked down to the boats and Sam looked at her admiring her with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah..." He said in the same tone and she turned her head towards him just as he was leaning in and she was going to let him kiss her but she pulled away.
"We... uh we have a job to do.." She said stuttering slightly as she blushed softly and moved away.
"Yeah.. uh there's our window." Sam said walking to the side in front of the window and Nate followed. They went inside, what looks like a storage room, and made their way downstairs where they see a beam, and Nate takes out his hook.
"Don't miss this time." y/n teased and Nate groaned softly.
"You're never going to let me live this down are you?" Nate said grappling down, and y/n laughed evilly.
"You know me so well." She giggled and watched him swing across the wall before landing on the other side.
"Alright. Come on down." Nate called up to them and they moved from the window.
"After you sweetheart." Sam said as he made way for her which earned a kiss on his cheek.
"Aren't you a sweet." She teased as she climbed out the window and on to the grappling hook rope before making it to where Nate was and Sam followed suit groaning in the process.
"These landings are a little more painful then i remember." Sam said quickly walking up to them.
"Yeah i feel you there." Y/n said bending over to rub her legs slightly that were in pain and not noticing a certain someone was checking her out.
"The two of you are old." Nate said earning a glare from the woman and she punched his arm. "Ow!"
"Don't forget that I'm not that much older than you Drake." She said in a playful tone and watched as he rubbed his sore arm.
They start to make their way towards the window by climbing and jumping over ledges and they came to a narrow ledge and Nate jumped up.
"This looks promising." He said making his way to the bars that was above as Sam and y/n followed behind.
"I think you mean "precarious."" Sam said correcting him as he watched y/n jump up after him and Nate grabbed a bar that almost broke causing him to curse.
"you okay up there?" Y/n called out as she watched him with worry.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm good." Nate said as he started to swing across the bars and jumping to a ledge with the married couple following and they seen something for their grappling hooks and Sam took the lead again grabbing his. "It'd suck if you miss right now." Nate taunted and Sam hooked it perfectly and looked at him with a smirk.
"It sure would... But I don't miss." Sam said before jumping off the ledge and started to grapple his way up the side of the wall. He made it to the top and drop down the rope for the two to follow.
When they got to the top Nate thanked Sam and went to the window.
"Ah... Nathan...?" Sam called out but he ignores him.
"Nathan?" This time y/n called out to him and he looked at them annoyed.
"What?" Nate asked and y/n started to unzip her jumpsuit showing her dress and Sam followed suit.
"Oh yeah." Nate said before unzipping his and y/n giggled as they threw their jumpsuit in a pile so no one can see it and they fixed themselves up.
"How do i look?" Y/N asked as she fixed her hair in the window.
"You... you look gorgeous.." Sam said looking at her and she blushed as she looked down.
"It's been awhile since I dressed up.." She admitted and Sam was going to say something, but Nate cuts him off.
"Let's go. We don't have enough time." He said opening the window.
"Alright. I'm right behind ya." Sam said fixing himself up and y/n fixing his tie as Nate opened the window all the way and hopped inside and looked around before noticing a figure.
Y/n couldn't believe who it was standing at the door and she almost fainted in the seat she was sitting in.
Nate looked at Sam in shock and he continued "He's about your height, a little bit leaner, and a little less grey in the head." He then turned to y/n and smiled a little. "And my wife.. she is still beautiful as I remembered her.." he said softly and she felt her heart bet faster and she doesn't know if it was because she was nervous because of Mya or was it because she just saw him after 15 of being dead.
She slowly got out of her seat shakily and walked slowly over to him. "S-Sam..?* She asked shakily and he nodded his head.
"Hey sweetheart.. I'm back." He said softly with a nod and she grabbed his face in her hands and sobbed out when she felt his physical body. She brought him in for a kiss and kissed him deeply which he gladly accepted and wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer.
Nate stood back to let them have their moment as he took his moment to finally realize that his bother is alive.
"Sam.. I saw you.. I saw you get shot!" Nate said in disbelief as he looked at his brother.
"Yes you did. Right.. there." He said pulling away from y/n and lifted his shirt showing his bullet scars and y/n's blood ran cold. If she would've known that he was still alive, she would've went back for him.
"Jesus.." Y/N muttered taking a big gulp of her own saliva as she lifted her hand to run her hands over his scar and he flinched making her pull her hand away as he pulled his shirt back down.
"The doctors, they.. well "doctors" they patched me up and they tossed me right back in the cell." Sam said walking towards Nate's office making the two follow him.
"Yeah but I... I made calls, I checked everywhere. Everything I heard, everything I found.. it confirmed that you were dead." Nate stated as he still couldn't believe that he wasn't dead.
"I helped too because... I didn't want to believe that you was dead.." y/n said quietly as she looked down to the ground.
"Nathan, sweetheart.. we killed a guard. They wanted to see me rot in that cell for the rest of my life, and I nearly did." Sam said turning to look at the two of them then turns to look at Nate's paperwork.
"Jesus, Sam, I..." Nate started but then stopped himself from saying anything else.
"If we had known, then we would have came back for you.. I would have definitely." y/n said as she walked up to him and placed her hand on his back.
"Then I would risk you getting caught or even worse sweetheart and I don't want that.." he said looking at her with regret but relief at the same time. "But what's important now, is that I'm out." He said with a chuckle and he wrapped her up in a hug again which she breathed in his scent.
Nate looks like he was going to faint and Sam pulls away as he looks at Nate worriedly. "Hey! Hey! You still with me?" He asked with a smile to see that this was affecting his brother in a good way.
"Yeah.. I need some air." Nate said turning towards the door and y/n chuckled slightly. They walked out of the building and went over to the benches that was facing the waters.
"You're not going to pass out on or nothin, are you?" Sam joked as he turned to light a cigarette as his wife glared at him.
"I still see you have that nasty habit of yours." she commented getting a shrug in response which she shook her head.
"I... I just might. It's a lot to digest y'know?" Nate said leaning against the bench and looked over to Sam. "How'd... How did you get out? When did you get out? How'd you even get here? Find me?" Nate said as y/n sat down on the bench and looked at the lake.
"All right, all right. Slow down. Okay?" Sam commented as he sat down next to y/n and wrapped his arms around her. "Have a seat. I want to hear about the two of you, huh?" He said looking at Nate and y/n with a smile and y/n's blood went cold. Should she tell him about Mya? But she doesn't know how he would react since the two of them never talked about having a family or she was afraid to lose him again and put that burden on Mya after she just met him for the first time.
"Me?" Nate asked as he finally sat down on the other side of the bench and turned towards Sam and y/n. "What's to tell?"
"Well... I called some of the old contacts... They tell me some pretty crazy-ass stories..." Sam said running his hands up and down y/n's side as he took a puff of his cigarette.
"I didn't believe them at first either until I heard them from him." Y/N chirped in as she chuckled.
"Jesus... What crazy stories?"
"Got shot, hanging from a derailed train in the Himalayas?" Sam asked as y/n nodded her head looking forward to hearing the stories again as she leaned against Sam.
"Yeah... That uh... That actually happened." Nate said chuckling slightly as he leaned back against the bench.
"C'mon, man, what did I miss?" Sam said excitedly as he leaned forward and looked at him expectedly.
"You missed a lot Sam.. too much." Y/N quietly and Sam looked kinda guilty for a second. "But we understand." She added before kissing his cheek slightly which made him look at her lovingly.
"Where do I even start?" Nate chimed in softly as he looked at his brother.
"Start with the best part." Sam said turning his head back to him with a smile on his face.
Nate had a look on his face as he thought about all of the adventures that had happen over the years. "Okay, um... Do you remember the theory that we had that Sir Francis Drake faked his own death?" Nate started with the story about El Dorado, and Sam nodded his head remembering, and Nate continued. "He did. I found the coffin."
"Off the coast of Panama?" Sam recalled and y/n laid her head against his shoulder closing her eyes.
"Yeah, and get this, okay, I open it up, right? And there's no body." Nate said over exaggerating making y/n laugh slightly. "But at the bottom is his old journal."
"You shittin' me?" Sam said in disbelief and Nate said no. They talked to no hours end until the sun rose above the horizon.
"I mean what can I say? Another lost city, destroyed, and uh... we made it out alive.. barely." Nate finished as y/n stretched slightly in her seat and yawned.
"Unbelievable.." Sam said in disbelief as he leaned against his knees in shock.
"Yeah... Yeah it was. I wish you could've been there." Nate said looking at his brother and Sam looked back.
"No no. It's literally unbelievable. You tell me you stumble upon another archeological gold mine and somehow you managed to walk away... with nothing." Sam said making gestures with his hands.
"Exactly my point, but I wasn't with him so I wouldn't exactly know what happened." Y/N said shrugging her shoulders.
"Wait where were you at?" Sam asked looking back to her and she became frigid.
"I was doing my own stuff that I didn't have time to be able to explore with them." Y/n half told the truth. She was too busy taking care of Mya to be able to go exploring and if she did she had to get a babysitter. Sam looked at her for another explanation but she didn't give one.
"But I managed to grab a few trinkets here and there. Paid off the car, the house, engagement ring, the..." Nate stopped himself mid sentence as he forgot about Elena. "Engagement ring. I'm married. I can't believe- Elena, from my stories? That's my wife." Nate explained as Sam grabbed another cigarette earning another glare from his wife. "You gotta come meet her. Tonight, dinner. At my place. You're coming to dinner. I can tell her all about you." Nate rambled then stopped in realization as Sam got up and walked over to the railing. "Shit I gotta tell her all about you."
"Nathan.. y/n..." Sam said softly and Y/N knew that something was wrong with him, and her blood went cold as she heard him say "I'm in a lot of trouble here.
"What?" Y/N said getting up and walking over to him as she placed her hand on his. "What are you talking about? What kind of trouble?"
"Does the name Hector Alcázar ring a bell to any of y'all?" Sam asked not looking up from the river.
"Yeah, he's the drug lord. "Butcher of Panama", right?" Nate confirmed and Sam nods his head.
"Why? Is there something going on between you and him Sam?" Y/N asked seriously as she tried to make eye contact with him but he refused to make eye contact.
"It's a funny story but um... last year he was my cell mate. So this is how I got out of prison.." Sam said now finally making eye contact with the both of them and he stood up straight.
Timeskip
y/n looked at him shocked with tears in her eyes and shock written on her face. If he didn't find the treasure and give money to Hector then she would definitely loose him again, but for real this time.
"So Alcázar let's me go and... here we are." Sam finished and y/n and Nate looked down to the water but y/n's eyes were full of tears.
"This is bad.." Nate mumbled and y/n scoffed softly.
"This is bad, huh? This is fucking horrible Nate. I just got my husband back and now I might lose him again just because of some fucking drug lord." Y/N ranted angrily as she clenched her hands together, and both men looked at her as Sam grabbed her hands and made her turn to him.
"Darling.. it's going to be okay." Sam tried to comfort, but y/n pulled her hands away shaking her head furiously.
"No it's not okay Sam! I just got you back after 15 years and now I might just lose you over this fucking treasure." Y/N stated angrily as hot tears flow down her eyes and her face turned to sadness. "I-I can't lose you again.." she said softly as she buried her smaller form into his arms, and he wrapped his arms around her.
"I know baby girl.." Sam said softly as he buried his face into her hair. "But if we pick up the trail where we left off and-" Sam started as he pulled away and wiped her tears but was cut off by Nate.
"Wait trail? Sam there's no trail. After Rafe, Y/N and I escaped, he took his parents fortune and brought up all the land around Saint Dismas cathedral. We combed that place for weeks. Avery's treasure isn't there." Nate explained and he looked back out to the sea.
"Not like that stopped Rafe. He's been digging for years, and he still hasn't turned up squat." Y/N stated as she pulled away from Sam after she calmed herself down, and Sam still had his arm wrapped around her.
"Not really surprised." Sam said chuckling and y/n and Nate looked at him confused.
"What does that mean?" They both asked in unison.
"Well I just.. you know, happened to do a little digging of my own..." Sam stopped as he pulled away from y/n and reached in his jacket to pull out a piece of paper. "And uh.. I bet you Rafe doesn't have this." He said handing the paper over to Nate and y/n stepped closer to him to get a look. "It's pretty amazing what you can find on the internet these days."
"It's just the Saint Dismas cross." Nate stated the obvious and y/n rolled her eyes.
"Oh is it? Because the one we found was broken and hollow, remember?" Sam said pointing to the lower part of the cross.
"Holy shit. It's still intact." Y/n said getting a closer look at it.
"Avery made more than one cross." Nate added as they both looked at Sam.
"So whatever's missing from the one in Panama..."
"It's probably still inside this one." Y/N finished and Sam smiled at her nodding his head.
"Well, all right. Where is this?" Nate said folding the paper again, and Sam took it out of his hands.
"Oh, this exquisite piece is going up for auction in three days at the Rossi Estate." He explained putting the paper back in his jacket.
"The Rossi Estate?" Y/N repeated as she tried to think where it was at.
"Oh, you know it?"
"Uh yeah. How do you plan on securing an invite to an exclusive, heavily armed black market auction?" Nate asked as he looked at him in disbelief.
"Well you don't need an invitation, per se." Sam retaliated as he gave a knowing smile, and clicked in y/n's mind.
"You're going to sneak in aren't you?" Y/N asked with a knowing smile also and Sam winked at her.
"Where are you going to get all the money to outbid all the high rollers?" Nate questioned more. "I could take a second mortgage out on my house and it still wouldn't be enough to..." Nate stopped immediately in his tracks as he knows his brother. "Yeah, you're gonna try and steal it, huh?"
"No." Sam said taking his cigarette out of his mouth, and looked at his wife and brother. "We are."
"I don't know about this.. I have things to do here still and I can't just drop it like that." Y/n mumbled as she was mostly talking about Mya. She wasn't going to leave her alone here while she travelled the world, and plus she didn't tell Sam yet.
"Honestly I thought that you will be able to help me since your husband life is on the line." Sam said getting slightly angry at y/n, and y/n was about to say something back but Nate interrupted them.
"And I'm not doing it because I don't do that kind of thing anymore." Nate said backing up placing his hand up in the air. "Besides, there are plenty of other guys that are much more equipped to handle this type of thing." Nate explained as he really didn't want to do this due to Elena's sake.
"Like who?" Sam asked getting kinda angry, that neither his wife or brother wanted to help him.
"Um.. I don't know like..." Nate stated pulling out his phone. "Anybody- Charlie Cutter." Nate said throwing his hands out his sides, and y/n flinched at the option. She really doesn't like Charlie and he's just an overall creep.
"No." Sam said straight up and shook his head at his brother in disbelief.
"No, he's my go to guy for this type of thing." Nate argued and Sam still said no.
"No, no, no, no. I don't trust Cutter or anyone you got on that phone, okay?" Sam said turning around to face him.
"I don't trust him either. The things you told me doesn't sit right with me." Y/N stated and Nate looked at her with a look of 'not helping' and she threw her hands up in defense.
"And besides I need the both of you on this one." Sam said looking at the both of them especially his wife and she looked away from him.
"Oh man, Sam, there's must be another way." Nate said almost giving in but giving him more options.
"Not with the time I've got left." Sam said before looking down to the ground. "And certainly not with Alcázar." He said looking back up to him and y/n made her way over to the railing against it as she contemplated over it.
Nate thought about it before calling someone on the phone and Sam came up next to y/n and grabbed another cigarette.
"Fine.. I'll go with you." She said softly as she looked at the river then looked back to him. "I just want to make sure that you are okay, and.. I don't want to lose you again after just finding you." She said staring into his eyes. She doesn't want to tell him about Mya just yet because she doesn't know if they will come out of this alive or not, and it's not the best time.
"I appreciate this sweetheart.. especially I want to do this for the both of you since we was looking for this for years." He said grabbing her hand and rubbing his thumb over the back. "So are you going to tell me what were you really doing all this time when I was in jail." He pushed as he looked at her with a smile.
"In due time you will know, but right now I need to make a call." She said leaning up kissing his cheek before walking off to a secluded area before she took out her phone and called Mya.
"Hey mom! When are you coming to pick me up?" Mya asked excitedly. "I'll show you what me and Aunt Elena did, and we got to play the PlayStation, and.." Mya rambled and y/n chuckled.
"Honey. How do you feel about staying with Aunt Elena for a little while longer?" Y/N asked as she became nervous and chewed slightly on her bottom lip.
"You know I wouldn't mind but where are you going? And how long?" Mya asked worriedly and it made y/n more nervous.
"I'm going on a business trip, and I won't be back in a couple more months." Y/N stated giving the latest time that they might be back.
"Okay mom. I'll miss you." She said sounding defeated.
"I'll miss you too baby. Bye." She blew a kiss to the phone and hung up the phone as she sighed. She really didn't want to do this but if she wanted to bring her husband back home safe and sound she has to do it herself.
It's been 15 years since Sam has passed and y/n has tried to move on from the man, but it's kinda hard when not long after his death she found out that she was pregnant. She had a daughter named Mya and she was like a spitting image of him.
She left the life of treasure hunting to be able to take care of Mya and she don't think she can do it after Sam so she became a house mom for Mya's sake.
She was currently inside the kitchen cooking up some breakfast while Mya was upstairs getting ready for today.
"Mom!" She heard her daughter scream and rapid footsteps coming to her location. She chuckled softly as she set the table for her and her daughter.
"I'm done! Can we go visit Uncle Nate at his job today?! And maybe see Aunt Elena as well?!" She said excitedly, making the older woman laugh.
"Yes we can but you need to eat breakfast first before we go." She stated looking at her daughter, she started to poke out her bottom lip in the little pouts that she does.
"But I'm not even hungry~" She whined as she sat down at the table anyways for her scrambled eggs and bacon breakfast.
"Oh you're not? I don't want to hear you complaining as soon as we get there that you are hungry." Y/N said as she sat down and started to eat her food as she watched her daughter carefully.
"Fine.." She said dejectedly and she started to eat but quickly which made y/n chuckle. When she finished her food she stared down to her empty plate and y/n was going to ask what was wrong but she cuts her off. "Mom... Can you tell me more about dad?" She said softly and she felt her throat go dry. Though she has to tell her about him someday, but she only gave him bits and pieces about her past with him.
"Mya.. I'm not ready to say anything about that yet... just know that your father was a... Great man." Y/n said softly as she took the last little bite of her food, and placed down her fork.
Mya nodded her head understanding her mother's pain and she grabbed both of their plates before taking them to the sink. "I understand mom, but I would like to know about him someday." She said with a smile as she came up behind her mother and hugged her slightly.
"Okay my little bear. Go get my car keys and we can get going." She said standing up with a smile and went over to the door while Mya ran off excitedly to the living room to grab her keys. She ran back and hand her keys before putting her shoes on.
"I can't wait to see Uncle Drake!" She said running out the door and y/n chuckled coming out the house following her exited daughter.
"You just want to see the pier and see the fish." She retorted and didn't hear anything from her daughter which she thought that she was right. She chuckled to herself as she climbed into the driver side and Mya climbed into the passenger side, and made their way to the pier.
Timeskip
They parked in the parking lot just as they pulled Nate in out of the water and Mya got out of the car to stay at the machine in awe. "Cool.." She muttered under her breath and y/n climbed out of the car and locked the doors.
"Come on. Let's go see it up close." Y/N said to her daughter as she started to make her way on the pier and over to Nate who just took off his equipment.
"Uncle Nate!" Mya screamed as she ran up to him and hugged him tightly making him laugh and she grimaced.
"Hey kiddo! Long time no see!" Nate said laughing as he hugged her back. "Be careful. I'm still wet from being in the water." He said as he pulled away from her.
"And you stink. Like salt and fish." She stated as she waved her hand in front of her face.
"I did warn you." He laughs and he looked at y/n as she walked up to them and his smile grew softer. "Hey y/n. How are you?"
"I'm doing okay. Just taking care of this trouble maker." She chuckled as she placed her hand on Mya's shoulder. "She really wanted to come and see you today and maybe come and visit Elena."
"I'm sure that Elena wouldn't mind at all." Nate stated as he watched as Mya walked off to look at the machines then he looked back to y/n and his face got serious. "She really does look like him doesn't she?" He stated and y/n visibly gulped as she looked down to her hand and fiddled with her fingers.
"She does, and it reminds me everyday.." She looks back up to him with her eyes glistening. "I really miss him Nate.. I can't move on.. it hurts when I try." She wiped a tear that was falling from her eye and he pulled her into his arms making her immediately grimace at the smell and wetness.
"It's okay y/n. I'm sure that he would want to move on, but I understand." He said softly as he pulled away and saw that she made a face. "What?"
"She was right. You do stink." She joked and laughed as Nate smelt himself and grimaced.
"Let me get out of this wetsuit and get in a shower and I'll meet y'all back out here to go to our house." He said backing up with a sheepish smile, and y/n nods her head with a smirk.
"Yeah you do that. Elena won't appreciate the smell wafting through the house." Y/N said to him as he turned around and waved his hand towards her and she went over to Mya as she examined the equipment and sat down on the steps and looked to the sky.
I have a feeling that you are still out there Sam. She thought to herself as she closed her eyes.
Timeskip
She was awoken by Mya who shook her arm slightly and she opened her eyes.
"Mom it's time to go. Uncle Nate is done. He told me to get you up so we can get going." She said excitedly so she can see her aunt.
Y/N sat up and rubbed her eyes and seen that the sun was going down. She didn't even notice that she fell asleep, well it could've been that she wasn't able to get sleep ever since Sam died because she had nightmares ever since.
She got up and seen that Nate was making his way over to them, and he looked at y/n worriedly.
"Do you want me to drive you there and you can get your car when I come back here?" Nate asked as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I think that's best. I haven't been able to get some sleep the right way ever since." She stated getting up with the help of Nate and he smiles.
"I understand. Let's go." Nate said helping her to the car and they all got in with Mya in the back while y/n sat in the front next to Nate.
On the way to Nate's house y/n tried to get some sleep, but Mya was being quite loud with telling Nate how school was going.
"You know that you are too young to have a boyfriend?" Nate said looking over to her with a playful glare.
"He's not a boyfriend! He's more like a best friend!" Mya said rolling her eyes playfully.
"He better be.." y/n chirped in as she decided to just stare out the window for the rest of the ride.
"I'm telling you mom. We're only friends." Mya stated with a whine making Nate and y/n chuckle slightly.
The ride back to his place was pretty quiet, and when they arrived Mya was the first one out of the car and ran towards the house with Nate and y/n hot on her tail.
"Aunt Elena!" Mya said opening the door to the house and runs inside.
"Hey! I wasn't expecting you to come here!" Elena said coming around the corner and hugging her when she came close enough.
She saw Nate and y/n come in and she walked up to Nate kissing his cheek before turning to y/n and hugging her. "Hey it's nice to see you too." She said smiling widely.
"Nice to see you too Elena." Y/N said softly and pulled away with a smile on her face as well.
"Will the two of you be staying the night? Because I'll make more dinner for the two of you." Elena offered and y/n shook her head.
"Nah. I don't want to be a burden with her being here." She joked as she placed her hand on top of of Mya head making her whine and push her hand making Nate and Elena laugh.
"Hey Mya. You want to see something cool." Nate asked as he nodded his head to the attic and Mya came excited.
"Um... Yes!" Mya screamed and she ran over to the attic with Nate quickly following after her.
"Be safe up there!" Y/N called after them and they didn't say anything which probably meant that they heard her as they ascended into the attic closing the door behind them.
"Come on. We have a lot of things to talk about." Elena said grabbing y/n's arm gently bringing her over to the couch. They both sat down and Elena offered her some tea.
"So... You look worse for wear. What's up? Are you okay?" Elena asked worriedly as she took a sip of her tea.
"I could be better.. I just.. think about Mya's father every single night. It's hard for me to get some sleep." She said just giving her that information since Nate never seemed to talk about Sam.
"You never mentioned Mya's dad before. Who is it?" Elena prodded and y/n just sipped on her tea staying quiet and Elena jumped to conclusions. "Oh god.. it's Nate isn't it?" She stated and y/n almost choked on her tea as she spat it out.
"Dear god no! it's not Nate okay?" She said in a coughing fit as she felt Elena pat her back to help her coughing fit.
"Oh I'm sorry. I should've never said that." She laughs sheepishly as she took her hand away. "But you don't have to tell me. Just know that I am here for you to talk." She suggested as she looked into her eyes and y/n nodded back.
"I know Elena and I appreciate that.. it's just that I'm not ready to talk about it just yet." Y/N said softly as she looked down to her cup. Elena nodded her head softly, understanding what it's like.
"Well.. Care to help me with dinner. At least stay for dinner, and then go." Elena suggested as she slapped her knees slightly and stand up.
"Yeah sure. Plus we need to catch up with you and Nate." Y/N said getting up with her and smiles widely, making her way to the kitchen with Elena and helping her whenever she can.
They had a good time talking to each other and Elena was retelling the story about how they discovered different types of adventures they had.
"Wait I missed the two of you and Sully discovering Sir Francis Drake?!" She asked in shock as she placed the bowels in the fridge.
"Yes! It was a great discovery but get this... His coffin was empty!" Elena said making a gesture which made Y/N shocked.
"What?!" Y/N said getting more confused. What she heard was that Drake had passed away a long time ago so this was news to her.
"I know right!" Elena said going over to the couch and sitting down grabbing her laptop with y/n following her and sitting down right next to her.
"Man I missed out on a lot!" She said running her fingers through her own hair making Elena chuckle.
"Well.. you had more important things to take care.. like your daughter for instant." She said pointing a finger to the attic where she heard Mya laughing and it made y/n smile.
"I guess you're right.." she said looking down to her hands.
"Go let them know that dinner is ready. I have to get this paper done." Elena started as she kept her eyes on the computer and y/n nodded making her way to the attic.
"Hey guys! Dinner is ready!" Y/N screamed up to them, which she got a various okay before she heard footsteps coming to the hatch before it opened. "Did the two of you have fun up there?" She asked them as they climbed down ladder.
"Yes! Uncle Nate taught me how to shoot at targets!" Mya said happily as she excitedly ran past y/n and downstairs.
"He did, did he?" She questioned looking at Nate with a glare, and Nate gave a sheepish smile.
"What? It was a toy gun." He defended and puts his hand up in defense.
Y/N shook her head and walked downstairs and went into the kitchen to grab all of their food as Nate sat next to Elena and started to talk as she passed out their bowls.
"And done.. man that was a lot." Elena said putting her laptop on the table, and grabs her bowl.
"So what was that all about?" Nate asked as he shoveled some food in his mouth.
"It was about the airlines getting stuck in Bangkok due to the smog in the air.." She started but y/n kind of cut her out as she seen a picture that Nate took from one of their trips together.
It felt so long that she has went out exploring and she would be lying if she didn't miss it.
"Whoa! What is that?!" Mya exclaimed making her snap out of her little loop and she looked at the tv and seen that they was about to play one of her favorite games 'Crash Bandicoot.'
"That my dear daughter is a PlayStation and boy does this take me back." Y/N said placing her bowl down to watch the bet that they had going on.
"So if you beat my high score then you get to wash the dishes." Elena said smugly as she leaned against her knees and so did Nate.
"Okay.. so why is this taking so long?" Nate asked as he didn't even get past the loading screen.
"You wouldn't even make it as a child if you owned one of these." Y/N chuckled as she wrapped an arm around Mya who leaned against her and yawned. She earned a glare from Nate with that comment and she laughed.
"So what do I do now?" Nate asked cluelessly as the home screen was on the screen and he didn't even get past it.
"You press enter." Elena said, humor lacing her voice as she watched him.
"Okay I got this." Nate stated as he loaded into a boulder level which y/n slightly gasped at and clutched her heart.
"My childhood appeared right in front of my eyes." Y/N said as she watched Nate run away from the boulder and get all of the boxes. Once he got to the end the score tallied up and it showed that he didn't beat Elena's high score.
"That's all?" Nate asked in disbelief as Elena got up to grabbed the bowls to take them to the kitchen.
"Yup. Now I have to do the dishes." Elena said cockily as she puts the dishes in the sink so she can do them later.
"There got to be more then that." Nate said in more disbelief as Elena sat next to him again.
"Maybe you just suck." Elena teased as she poked Nate's arm and he placed down the controller.
"Maybe there was something in my eye." Nate defended and Elena laughed.
"Hey I'm going to take her to the spare bedroom." Y/N interrupted gestured to a half asleep Mya that was clinging on to her arm. Nate and Elena nodded and smiles a little.
"Of course. You know where the bedroom is at so go whenever you want." Elena said getting up as she walked to the kitchen, and y/n got up leading Mya to the bedroom.
"Hey! I'll take you to get you car about an hour." Nate called out to her and she nodded to herself.
"Got it!" Y/n called back before walking in the room and shutting the door behind her. She laid her tired daughter on the bed and covered her with the blanket before laying next to her over the blanket.
"Mommy.." she said in a tired voice as her eyes closed slowly. "I want to see daddy." She said before she slowly fell asleep and y/n stared at her and ran her finger through her hair.
"So do I baby girl.." She said softly placing a small kiss on her forehead and sighs a little.
Timeskip
After a while after Y/N made sure that Mya was asleep her and Nate made their way back to his job so she can get her car.
"Well I had fun today." Nate stated as he pulled inside the parking lot and y/n scoffed a little.
"Why didn't you say anything about your trips to Shambala, and finding Sir Francis Drake?" Y/N asked angrily as she looked over to him with anger in her eyes.
"I didn't want to say anything because Mya was only 2 years old and you needed to take care of her." Nate defended himself but that didn't soothe her anger.
"You could've told me about the story Nate. I thought that we were in this together." Y/N stated as her anger soothed down a little and it was plastered with sadness. "It was me, yours, and Sam's expedition."
"I know y/n but I wanted to finish it for him and just give us a peace of mind." Nate said as he parked in the parking lot and he unbuckled his seat belt.
"Tell you what? Why don't you come in and I'll tell you more about it while I'm finishing these paperwork?" He offered and y/n contemplated if she should or not.
"Okay... But don't leave out any detail." She said with a small smile, and she unbuckled her seatbelt and they both got out of the car making their way to the office.
Timeskip
They had laugh and had awe moments as Nate retold the story to y/n and she couldn't believe hearing the story for the second time.
"You're shitting me right now!" She exclaimed as she gripped the armrest in anticipation and Nate grinned.
"I'm telling you y/n. What I'm saying to you is non bullshitery." Nate said grinning from ear to ear. Y/n was about to say something until there was knocking at the door that interrupted her.
"We're closed!" Nate said to the person who was on the other side. Hoping the person went away, y/n was about to say something else but there was another knock. "I said we're closed!" Nate stated again and the person didn't stop as they knocked again.
"Goddamn asshole.." Nate said to himself as he got up and walked over to the door. He opened it, not really getting a good look at the person. "I said we're closed. Is there anything I can help you with?" Nate asked trying to keep a professional voice, and y/n craned her neck to look at the person, and her eyes widened slightly as she seen the auburn tuft of hair.
"Yeah.. I was looking for my baby brother and my wife." Sam said turning around to look at them with a sheepish smile, and y/n almost fainted in her seat.
Things weren't looking so well for y/n Drake, why, might be your question? She is currently inside an all men's courtyard of a jail just to make sure that they stay on the trail of a treasure that they were looking for since they were younger, being on the run for "murder", changing their names, and searching for treasure that may or may not still be there.
"Maldita sea*. Why is it so goddamn hot here?" She asks herself as she sat down on one of the benches outside of the courtyard. It was currently sweltering, and she was not liking the thought taking a shower with a shower filled with men. She just couldn't wait to get out of the penitentiary so she can actually take a shower inside of her own home. *Damn*
She doesn't know where the others are, meaning the Drake brothers and Rafe... Ugh Rafe. That name leaves a bad taste in her mouth. She leans her head back against the wall behind her and closes her eyes to get a quick rest until she heard cheering and jeering not too far from her. She opened her eyes and looked over to where the noise was coming from and saw a crowd.
She sighed knowing that she wouldn't be able to get a break and gets up, walking over to the crowd seeing that there was a fight. She pushed her way through the little space that the jailers had left and saw that Nate was in a brawl with one of the infamous criminal, Gustavo. She winces when she sees a hard punch to the face and Nate falls back. She knew that that was going to leave a mark.
"¡Esto va estar más fácil de lo que esperaba!*" Gustavo says cockily with a laugh as he turned towards his adoring fans with his arms wide open, as Nate was behind him catching his breath holding his bruised jaw. *This is going to be easier than I expected!*
Nate lets out a small laugh as he stands back up getting into a fighting position as y/n smiled a little. "You're gonna have to do better than that, pal." They started exchanging blows as y/n started to join in on the mostly cheering with the cellmates as Nate started to get the upper hand on Gustavo. Gustavo then pushed Nate to the ground trying to strangle him until Nate pushed him on to his back, and started to punch him.
"Yeah! Get him Nate!" Y/N cheered as she got excited failing to notice Vargas approaching with a couple of guards. Before Nate landed another punch, Vargas came up to him and grabbed his wrist. "What the hell?!" Nate exclaimed confused as another guard grabbed Gustavo. "¡Ya basta, idiotas!*" *Enough, idiots!*
"Hey we weren't fighting. Huh? Right little guy?" Nate says taunting a very pissed off Gustavo who was being held back by a guard and struggled against him. "¡Te voy a matar, gringo comemierda!*" Gustavo screamed angrily as spit was flying from his mouth. *I'm going to kill you, you shit-eating gringo!*
"Hey, give me a call when you're tall enough to ride the rides." Nate taunted even more as he was being pulled away, and y/n shook her head as she was now far enough away to watch them both be pulled away knowing that Nate was going to get more punishment later. "That's enough excitement for today." She says underneath her breath as she turned to walk in the other direction, but almost ran into Sam which she backed up placing a hand on her chest.
"Honestly, we're just getting started, but that..." He said as he pointed to Nate as he was taken farther down into the holding cell, "is all a part of the plan. Once he gets out, Vargas should take him to the cell where we should find our next clue." He explained but y/n just rolled her eyes placing her hand against her hip as she stared up to the taller man.
"And why did you bring me? I stink like 3 day old sweat because I refuse to take a shower with the men here. I would rather be at home taking a long hot bath." She says the last part softer so no one heard what she said. She doesn't want her cover to be blown due to the men here because they are lonely and they couldn't have seen a woman in years.
"What's the difference in showering with me? Just imagine me with you in there." Sam suggested and y/n punched his arm a little too hard at that comment. "Well it's because of a few reasons, one of them is you being my husband." She said rolling her eyes as she moved to walk past him but he blocked her path again with a small cheeky smile.
"What? What's with that smile?" She asked raising an eyebrow, and he looks off innocently as he scanned the place. "Y'know... We have some downtime before Nate comes back..." He didn't even have to say anything else as y/n knew what he was thinking.
"Oh no! No no no no. Do you remember the last time we did that? We almost got caught?" y/n whispered yell at him. The last time that they snuck off to get some alone time with each other, an inmate caught them together and spread the rumor that they were gay.
"That was once." "Do I need to also remind you that we almost got caught by a guard?" "Alright! You made your point, but I have the perfect place that we won't get caught. You have to trust me."
Y/N gave him a dead stare and he looked back at her with a small smirk that he knows that she couldn't resist and she let out a reluctant sigh. "Fine... But you're going to take the fall for this if we get caught." Sam smirk got bigger as he motioned his head for her to follow him. She shook her head as she reluctantly followed him to a small place that they can actually get some alone time hopefully.
When they finally made it to the spot which was an abandoned boiler room, he pushed her up against one of the tanks gently and placed his lips against her ear as he started to move his hands up her shirt.
"You don't know how long I missed doing this, I know it's only been a couple of days but.. damn." His deep voice hits her ear and made a shiver go down her spine and sides. She wrapped a leg around his waist as she brought his hips closer to hers, feeling the way that he hardened against her thigh.
"Well what are you waiting for.. you better hurry up before someone walks in." She says in a sultry tone in his ear as she nipped the earlobe and she loved how he basically melted into his arms. He pulled back only to connect their lips together, making her sigh in content as he nipped on her bottom lip.
Time skip
They almost got caught... once again because Sam couldn't keep quiet, and a guard walked in, but luckily she was on high alert. As she was fixing herself, Sam was working his charm on the guard, hiding the obvious bulge that he was having in his pants.
"Next time, we're going to wait till we leave this place." She scolds him as she gives him a glare but she wasn't going to lie... she was loving the rush about almost getting caught. "Now you just need to fix... That." She clears her throat as she looks away from him.
"Eh... It'll go away. I just need a goddamn cigarette now." He mumbled as he felt the nicotine itching at him, and he saw a couple of jailers gambling for cigarettes and gave a slight smile making his way over to them. "I will be back later." He says with a wave leaving her by herself and she rolls her eyes in annoyance.
"Now, what am I gonna do while waiting for Nate to come back?" She huffed out softly as she looked around. She saw that there were some of the jailers playing basketball. She shrugged her shoulders deciding to join them for a couple of games. Even though she was a small woman, she was pretty athletic.
She walked over to the court and the men stopped to stare at her as she spoke up, "¡Ey! Quiero participar en el próximo juego.*" She wasn't expecting the laughter from them as the big one held the basketball in his hand. *Hey! I want to participate in the next game.*
"El pequeño gringo quiere unirse a nuestro juego. Piérdase.*" He said mockingly making the other laugh. Y/N rolled her eyes as she took off her shirt, luckily she was wearing a binder for her chest, that showed her muscled arms which made the group stop laughing immediately. *The little gringo wants to join our game. Get lost*
"Dije que quería jugar. Ahora déjame jugar.*" She said walking over to him taking the ball out of his hand as she threw her shirt to the ground. He gave a little sneer as he motioned to the others to back up. Y/N raised an eyebrow at him as she bounced then ball back to him to start the game. "Oh? You want to take me on by yourself? Show me what you got." *I said I wanted to play. Now let me play*
The play was back and forth for a while but she was holding herself well against him. She got bruised up a little from him getting angry when he noticed that she was winning but she gave him some of his own along with a broken nose.
She scored one more point and noticed that Nate was heading back to them after Vargas was screaming at him from being in the holding cell. She turned back to the jailer and smiles slightly as she handed the ball back to him. "Fue divertido jugar, aunque deberías trabajar en ese enojo, amigo.*" She says mockingly as she pats his shoulder then walks over to her discarded shirt. *It was fun to play, although you should work on that anger, friend.*
She made her way back to Sam as she was shrugging her shirt back on as Nate walked up as well. "¿Que puedo decir? Suerte de principiante verdad.*" Sam says with a smirk as the other inmates groans from the lost to Sam. He looked up just in time to see Nate and y/n push past the other inmates that were surrounding them. "Lo siento, chicos, tengo que irme*." Sam said rushed as he left the other cigarettes in the pile and took all but three. *What can I say? Beginner's luck right.* *Sorry guys, I have to go.*
He stood up and walked over to his wife and brother as he lit his cigarette as Nate and y/n rubbed their bruised eyes. "Jesus, they worked you over good. You all right?" He asked Nate noticing the bruises all over his face. "Eh, just another day at the office." Nate replied as Sam turned to look at y/n noticing her bruises. "Now what about you?"
"Just killing some time. I'm alright though. You should see the other guy." She says with a smirk on her face as she nodded her head towards the guy that she played against, who was sitting on the bench with a towel in his hand holding it against his bleeding nose.
Nate's eyes widened as Sam had a smirk on his lips, knowing what his wife could do. "Jesus... Don't let me get on your bad side." Nate said in astonishment as Sam patted her back roughly. "That's my girl." He says softly as he gave a proud smirk towards her.
"C'mon lovebirds." Nate says as he walked away to a secluded area with the two of them, but Sam stopped him with a hand on his chest. "Hey, whoa whoa whoa. You're not gonna keep us in suspense are you?" Sam asked, excitement evident in his voice. Nate smirked as he patted his shoulder walking past him as he said, "You were right."
Sam was shocked for a second as he looked at y/n with wide eyes, who matched his expression. They both followed after Nate with a laugh. "No. We were right. Now we just gotta find Rafe..." Sam started as he got in front of Nate and y/n lets an irritated sigh with Nate.
"Ugh Rafe..." Y/N says underneath her breath and Sam lets out a sigh looking at her knowing how she feels about him. "Don't start, please?" Sam pleaded but Nate threw his hands up in frustration. Y/N doesn't blame him at all for feeling frustrated for working with Rafe. He was a narcissistic asshole who haven't hear the word no his whole life.
"Oh, c'mon. Like you said, we did this. The three of us. Now this rich asshole comes in on the tail end---" Nate started his rant but Sam stopped him having heard the whole thing before. "How long have we tried to get in here? Hm?" Sam argued as he looked at both of them, and Nate gave a reluctant sigh as y/n rubbed her head from an incoming headache that was coming.
"We had some leads," Nate started but Sam cut him off, "No we didn't. Okay, not one. So like it or not, no Rafe. No Vargas. And no getting in here." Sam made a point and as much as y/n hated the guy, he had a point.
"Yeah, speaking of Vargas... We have a problem." Nate says interrupting Sam and y/n notices the man of the hour approaching and y/n had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. "What kind of problem?" Rafe asked as he looked at the three of them waiting for their answer. "Did he let you into the old prison?"
"Yeah, yeah he did. After he read the letter." Nate says and y/n rubbed her temples even harder feeling the headache turn into a migraine. "Shit, how much does he know?" Y/N spoke up as she placed her hand against her hip looking at Nate expectantly, hoping that it wasn't as bad as she thought.
"Enough that he want a cut." Nate answered, nope. It was bad alright. "Ah, shit." Sam curses under his breath as he puts out his cigarette then looks at Rafe. "Rafe, if anyone else finds out about this..." He was about to say until Rafe puts his hand up cutting him off, "I'll work it out with Vargas, don't sweat it. Right now, let's just... Let's get on to important matters..." Rafe says reassuringly as the other lets out a sigh.
"All right. Let's find somewhere a little more ah... Private." Y/N suggested as she started to walk away with the other men.
Time skip
Making sure the coast was clear, the four of them snuck their way into the boiler room that Sam and y/n had their little rendezvous at, and y/n felt her heartbeat quicken at the thought again. It also didn't help that she felt the eyes of the certain man that she loves watching her every move.
"All right. The coast is clear." Sam says taking his eyes off y/n and looking around for any guards that were lurking. "Okay. So, what do we got?" Rafe asked as they all gathered around Nate to see what he picked up.
Nate pulled the cross out of his pocket and the other three looked at it in astonishment. Rafe goes to grab it but Nate holds it against his chest and Rafe rolls his eyes. "May I?" He asks impatiently and Nate hands it over reluctantly. "Just be careful, okay?"
Rafe inspected it closely as y/n moved closer to inspect it as well. "Wood with gold and silver inlay. It's well made." Rafe rambled as he turned it upside down and inspected the inside as y/n's eyes widened as she took it out of his hands. "It's hollow?!" She says not believing what she sees ignoring the glare that she got from Rafe.
"Why would one of Avery's men go through the trouble of hiding a cheap crucifix?" Rafe asked looking at the two men as y/n fumed from beside him. She wasn't mad that what they found was a dud, she was mad at the fact that she wasted her time in this prison not being able to take a shower properly.
"It's not a crucifix. Technically, a crucifix is a representation of Jesus." Nate chimed in as he took the cross out of y/n's hand and examined it. "It's not Jesus." He finished.
"Well, you're right. No crown of thorns, he's tied to the cross. Well, if it's not Jesus then--?" Rafe was about to ask but Nate cuts him off. "Read the inscription." Nate suggested as he handed the cross back to Rafe, and he reads the side with great difficulty as y/n tries to hold back her laughter.
"Uh... "Digna factis recipimus." We receive..." He continued but y/n cut him off as she moved closer to read the words. "We receive the due rewards of our deeds." She says with a smile with no problem. Rafe looks at her with astonishment and some longing as he says "Look at you."
She notices how close they were and quickly moves back resisting the urge to cringe. "The benefit of growing up in a Catholic orphanage. Also I had a great teacher." She says looking at Sam with adoration and love and he gives her a smile back before looking at Nate with astonishment. "That's Saint Dismas." Sam says excitedly and Nate continues "Yeah, the penitent thief.. but what's the connection."
"Guys, let's just pretend I skipped all of Sunday school..." Rafe says with a confused look on his face and looks at the three of them as y/n holds back the urge to roll her eyes as she starts to explain, "During the crucifixion, Jesus is placed between two thieves. Okay, one of them mocked Jesus. The other one, this guy..." Y/N stops to point at the cross before continuing, "was penitent. He accepted his punishment with grace..."
"And Jesus brought him to paradise." Nate finished for her, and Rafe looked down at the cross with astonishment as he mumbled to himself, "Penitent thief." Nate confirms what he said was true and Sam started to laugh as he just solved the mystery, and they all looked at him. "What? You figured it out didn't you?" Y/N asked knowing her husband all too well.
"There is a cathedral of Saint Dismas... In Scotland." Sam looks at them as it dawns on them and y/n says "The last citing of Avery was in Scotland." and Sam lets out a chuckle as he stares at her with a big smile on his face, "It can't be a coincidence."
They all turned to Rafe when he started to say, "You know, I had my doubts about you three, but..." He started as y/n rolled her eyes but let him continue, "lets find Vargas and get the hell out of this shit hole." He finished as he handed the cross back to Nate. They started to walk to the exit as y/n say "Good, because I need to take a real..." She was interrupted by Gustavo and his goonies cutting off their exit. "Mierda...*" Y/N says under her breath as she sees the guy that she broke the nose of. *Fuck*
"Let me guess, this is the guy you picked a fight with?" Rafe asked with a scoff as the four of them started to back away. "Ah... I didn't know he had so many... friends." Nate says nervously as more appeared behind them. "And then some apparently." Y/N chimed in as she saw the other guy crack his knuckles.
"Te dije que no habiamos terminado.*" Gustavo stated as he gets menacingly close to Nate. "Ese es el maricón que me rompió la nariz.*" The guy states from behind Gustavo and y/n sends him a glare as she hears what he said *I told you we weren't done.* *That's the fagg*t who broke my nose.*
"Mira, ya nos ganaste. Okay?*" Nate says trying to deescalate the situation at hand, but Gustavo wasn't listening as he says "Muy tarde para hablar, de aqui no sales.*" *Look, you already beat us.* *Too late to talk, you're not leaving here.*
Sam goes to step up in front of y/n to protect her as he starts to say "Hey, you know what?" but Gustavo pushed him back making Sam angry. "Tu no te metas--*" Gustavo starts to say but Sam punched him in the face which started the brawl. *You do not mess--*
The guy that y/n broke the nose of runs at her and threw a punch at her but she quickly dodged it and punched him in the gut. "I wanted to stay home, but NOO you wanted me to come here!" Y/N complained as she dodged another punch from behind.
"You know that we couldn't do this without you." Sam says with a grunt as he dodged a punch of his own. "Jesus, did you have to pick on the most popular guy in this joint?" Rafe asks as he punches another guy down to the ground. "Well I didn't hear you volunteer." Nate says with a snark remark.
"Guys! Save it for later!" Y/N screamed at them, even though Nate was right. She was then grabbed from behind and was put into a chokehold and screamed "Get offa me son of a bitch!"
"Hey! Get your hands off of my wife." Sam screamed as he pulled him off of her and she dropped kicked him knocking him out cold. "Hey, are you alright?" Sam asked worriedly as he saw her struggling for air, but she pushed him out of the way when she saw another one coming at him from behind, and tripped the goony.
"Hun, right now if not the time!" She stated as she went into the fray helping Nate out with a couple of the men seeing that he was getting overwhelmed. "Eh... Anytime is a good time if it means your safety." Sam flirted as he choked and slammed another one.
The fight went on for a while due to more men coming in but the four of them didn't have a problem taking them down, but everything stopped when Vargas came in with some of the prison guards, knocking Gustavo down. He turned around to everyone after he made sure that Gustavo was out and opened his arms as he asked, "¿Alguien mās necista que les recuerde las reglas? ¡Alinéense!" *Anyone else need a reminder of the rules? Line up!*
Y/N looks at Sam with slight panic knowing that he is going to find the cross on Nathan, and they are going to be in trouble. They were pushed against one of the tanks by the guards and searched and y/n resisted the urge to shiver from the uncomfortable search. She looked up when she heard the guard yell at Nate, and Vargas walked up to them grabbing it from the guards hand.
"Are you bringing in contraband?" Vargas asked Nate trying to keep up the act that he wasn't helping them. Nate pleaded with him but he shushed him. "Who do you think you are?" He asked angrily and he turned to the guard ordering "¡Llévalos a su celda! Me trae a los gringos a mi officina." Take them to their cell! bring the gringos to my office.*
This was then dragged away from the other jailers and to Vargas office which wasn't looking too good for them.

Once they entered the office, Vargas ordered the guards to leave, and he shut the door behind him. Rafe decided to open his mouth saying quite rudely "Took you long enough! We almost got killed you know!" Y/N glared at Rafe as she moved closer to Sam for the comfort that she was needing since they haven't been able to be close ever since they entered the jail.
"You still might." Vargas says to himself as he examined the cross and turned to look at Rafe and Rafe looked at him incredulously as he started to say his name but was cut off by Vargas. "Oh, I didn't find anything, must be in a different tower. Well?" Vargas mocked Nate as he threw the cross at him and Nate caught it.
"What can I say? I was raised Catholic. I always carry one." Nate joked hoping that it would lighten the mood but Vargas gave a sarcastic laugh as he raised the gun at Nate. "Do you really think it's the time for joking Nate?!" Y/N asked incredulously.
"Hey, hey, hey look--- it's worthless, all right?" Sam butts in as he moves to stand in front of Nate. "You think I'm an idiot?!" Vargas screamed pointing the gun at Sam and y/n got scared as she moved forward but Sam stopped her. "Okay. You want to renegotiate? Fine. Stop acting like a third world thug. Now put the gun away." Y/N demanded as Vargas looked at her and slowly lowered his gun. "Thank you." She says with a sigh of relief.
"We're willing to give you ah... 10 percent." Rafe offered Vargas and the said man started to laugh. "Think half." He demanded and the other four looked at him like he grew another head. "We're going most of the work. Twenty. And you'll never find it without us." Rafe offered again and Vargas gave him a dead stare as he suggested "Twenty-five. Equals."
Rafe then turns his head to the Drake's and says to himself "Twenty-five... Does that sound fair, guys?" Sam threw his hands up in frustration and y/n shrugged her shoulders as she looked at Nate waiting for him to say something. "Four hundred million divides nicely by four." Nate says liking the idea mostly because he just wanted to get out of there.
"Looks like we have a deal." Rafe says looking back at Vargas and holds out his hand. Vargas looks at the other three before looking back at Rafe and grabs his hand. "It looks like we have a deal." He pulls him closer to him and says in his ear menacingly "and if you ever cross me again--" He didn't finish what he was about to say as Rafe stabbed him in the side. Vargas tried to grab his gun but Rafe held his arm up making him shoot the ceiling.
Rafe pushed him against the desk before stabbing him again and Vargas fell to the floor as Rafe took his gun. "That was your plan!" Y/N asked shocked that Rafe would actually do that, actually she wasn't shocked that he would do that.
"That's that." Rafe says nonchalantly as he stared down at Vargas' body. "Are you out of your goddamn mind?" Nate asked him what everyone else was thinking, and he looked at everyone like a crazed man as he asked "Do you want to find out?"
They heard the guards come to the door and start pounding on it and y/n grabs Sam's arm as she was now scared for her life. "Guys, what are we doing here?" She asked as she gripped Sam's arm, and Rafe bent down to Vargas body to grab the keys as he said "We're sticking to the plan."
"Was this part of the plan?!" Nate asks him as Rafe stands back up and motions them to follow him. They unlocked the door to the hallways and they ran out just as the guards broke down the door. They just had to leave right? They'll find the treasure and be done with the whole thing.

It was getting pretty dicey as the guards were shooting at them as they jumped across the buildings to get the hidden boat on the island. Y/N was currently behind Nate as he jumped across the building but she was not leaving without.
"Sam?!" She asked scared hoping that he was still behind her and she let out a slight sigh of relief when she heard him say "I'm okay, sweetie! Just keep going!"
The last jump Nate broke the pipe to get them over the wall so she had to trust him to catch her, and he was able to pull her up with ease. She turned around with Nate to help Sam up if he needed it. "Sam! C'mon! We'll pull you up!" Nate called out. Sam made the jump but Nate was the only one who caught one of his hands.
"I gotcha! C'mon!" Nate grunted as he pulled him up to the wall, but just as he was about to pull himself up on the wall, bullets were shot around him, and y/n and Nate flinched reactively. When they looked up, Sam looked at them with pain in his eyes and y/n's blood ran cold as panic set on her face. "Sam, no." She says softly as she went to grab his hand as he started to lose his strength but Nate was already on it.
"Baby! Hold on please! Give me your hand!" She says with a sob wracking as she reached down to try to grab his hand but he was getting too weak to lift his arm. Sam started to slip from Nate's grip as his head slumped and he fell to the ground below with a distant thud. "SAM!!!"
I will be rewriting this whole story because I think that I can do better, but here is the master list of the story which I will be revising each chapter.
