Not your typical baby mama

Chapter 329 Aldo Never Learns

"And your gun", he added, speaking to Rider.

"My hands are up", he complained.

"Don't get smart with me agent, toss it to the side! Now!" He barked with a glare.

He did as told, kicking it further away from them under Aldo's watch before a satisfied grin settled on his lips. Rider sighed, "Release her, and deal with me instead."

"Shut up! I make the demands here, not you!"

"Buddy, believe me, you're sentencing us to an early death if there's a single scratch on her. Release her", he tried again.

Rider only pressed the Glock against Amy's temple who let out a shaky breath at the cold feel of the gun. "SHUT UP! Now listen, if you want me to let her go, get Esmeralda and I out of this shit hole of a country."

"Interpol will be onto you. Everyone knows what you lot have been up to all these years", he replied.

"If you know what we're capable of then you should know better", he countered.

"It's not possible", Rider deadpanned.

"Just get it done or I'm shooting her and guess who will be next!" He pressed it harder against her. Aldo was raging mad! He could not accept that this would be the end of him and Esmeralda especially after the stunt Amy and Dylan pulled on them. He could only imagine how heartbroken his love was. If he got them out of there, he would nurse her heart and they would start afresh, somewhere where this sick reality will not follow them.

"Broooo, that gun! Easy! Easy!" He shouted with evident fear seeing Amy close her eyes and swallow a hard lump. He suddenly stepped forward. "Shoot me instead."

"Stay where you are!"

"I said shoot me! Shoot me!"

"Didn't you hear me?" Aldo barked, pointing the gun between Rider and Amy. "You've probably guessed how I got this gun and I'm not afraid to use it on you and find someone more useful!"

"I can't do what you asked, no one can! So just shoot me instead", he took another step forward.

"Take another step, I dare you! Don't test me", he warned, tightening his hold on Amy.

"And I told you to let her go", he warned.

"Rider", Amy pleaded quietly. He was being careless. Aldo was in a state where he could do anything to get out of there. Killing Rider would be a piece of cake.

"Gosh, if you weren't my enemy", he grumbled beside Amy's ear leaving her feeling disgusted. She knew what he meant by those words.

Rider stopped and suddenly chuckled seeming amused as he looked over Aldo's shoulder. "Of course, you wouldn't let her come here alone." No wonder Amy showed no sign of fear.

"What are you-?" Aldo turned to look but only granted when in a flash something hard harshly hit his back causing him to stumble forward along with Amy at the same time his gun went off. Amy was pulled away from his hold before he could react to see who dared to kick him in the back.

"Who-?" He was cut off by a punch landing on his jaw. He felt a sharp pain on his wrist causing his gun to drop.

'Zach Frost?' he mused in his thoughts as he gained momentum to fight back. But why is the energy he's giving off so familiar?

"You just don't learn, do you?" Zach questioned with a calm demeanor though he was pissed off, very pissed off.

Aldo went on the offense not caring to register what those words meant. He threw punches and kicks at all the possible openings but Zach easily deflated them and the roles changed in under a minute.

One ruthless punch after the other, Aldo was forced to retreat but Zach did not stop, he had no plans to. It was in this moment he realized who he was up against. The first time, Zach had gone easy on him, and now he was just pissed off. Zach grabbed him by the collar and continued to make Aldo's bloodied face even more messier.

"We still need him alive!" Rider shouted at Zach as he looked over his shoulder.

The latter gave one last punch that left Aldo slumped on the floor before he walked over to Amy who was being shielded by Rider. She left his side to wrap her arms around Zach. He kept his bloodied hand away and held her with the clean one. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Are you okay?" She asked worriedly, examining his face.

Rider's lips spasmed. "I'm the one who got shot but hey, don't mind me."

They finally looked at him to see blood dripping from his right arm just when other agents poured in. The others apprehended Aldo while others attended to Rider.

"Oh my gosh!" Amy gasped in horror.

"He'll live", Zach deadpanned as he received a towel to wipe his hand.

He shot Zach a hateful look and gave a kind smile to a worried Amy, "Don't worry about me. Just make sure I'm one of the V.I.Ps at your wedding. Now get out of here, we have a mess to clean up."

Zach returned the towel before ushering a dazed Amy out of the chaotic scene. Rider watched the two take a corner out of the corridor they were on when a colleague reported into his ear.

"We finally have a visual. We still don't know what it was but whatever it is, seems like it fixed itself", the colleague said.

Rider chuckled, "Yeah, no shit."

Zach and Amy made it into the underground parking lot. They got into the car they had arrived in. Zach removed her laptop on his seat where the feed from inside the building where they were was showing and put it away. He was about to hook his seatbelt on when he noticed Amy remain dazed.

"Baby", he held her shoulders causing her to look at him. "You're safe, alright? Everything is okay now. I'm here."

She snapped out of it and looked him in his worried eyes. She shook her head, "it's not that. I....."

"What's wrong? Are you worried about Rider?" He narrowed his eyes at her but still proceeded to calm what he thought were her worries. "He's been through worse, that was nothing. I promise. He'll be okay."

"No, no, no", she said quickly, confusing him further. She broke into a beautiful smile cupping his cheeks as she finally said, "Babe, we have a wedding to plan."
