Chapter 53: Book 1: Chapter 53 - Torn.

　　　Jake's POV-

　　　I stop breathing when I look into her terrified eyes as recognition flashes through them. Her scream fills the room and my bad boy front completely crumbles to the ground. My hands releases my gun and it shatters to the ground, bouncing before it eventually lies still.

　　　"Boss, are you alright?"

　　　I vaguely hear the unstable voices of my team around me, their eyes widening in confusion as they stand there, unsure of what to do. My eyes never leave hers and she reaches up, tears spilling down her cheeks.

　　　My jaw tightens as she takes my face mask off and I watch her lip tremble before her legs give out and she falls to the floor.

　　　It had finally happened... She knows what I am.

　　　"Your mask!"

　　　"Run!"

　　　"Let's get out of here!"

　　　My team scurry around me and Gregg who dragged Emily to the front picks her up off the floor by the scuff of her neck. He drags her like she's a piece of filth and I finally snap out of my daze, hearing her pained whimper.
