Dean-
We got on the jet to Washington.
"What do you think she wants?", I asked.
"I hope it's to give us back our actual jobs. I'm bored as fuck behind that desk, I miss Denise", Colby said, while on his laptop.
Denise was now working for Renee and her team. She asked to work with Hunter and his team, but they denied her. They also told her she was not allowed to have any contact with us. They monitor her calls and uses on her computer, her emails, and texts. I'm sure they did that to us too. Lucia's dad knew this and sent us each a burner phone, every time he used it to call us, his number changed, in order to get in contact with him we had to text 23 to a long phone number already in our phone.
"Me too, I'm getting tired of these bullshit inspections they have us on", Joe said.
"I don't know if I want my job back", I said.
They both looked at me.
"What, but you love your job. You worked your ass off to get the position we're in. A year ago you were itching to get back to work", Joe said.
Colby chuckled.
"More like after they did the surgery, half alive and your ass wanted to get back to work", Colby said.
"I have a kid now, my girl. I never had to think about someone else before and now that I do, I guess I'm afraid", I said.
Joe nodded.
"So what are you gonna do?", Colby asked.
"If they do give us our jobs back, I'll ask to work behind the scenes and maybe have Denise teach me how to work a computer", I said.
"Our lives in your hands? Fuck we're dead where we stand Colby", Joe said.
We laughed. Landing in Washington, an SUV was waiting for us. We climbed in and Denise was in the drivers seat. She turned and smiled at us.
"Hi boys", she said.
"Hey, they let you come and pick us up, but I thought", she cut me off.
"They said you would need me", she said.
"Tell the truth babe, you missed me", Colby said with a smirk.
"You wish", she mumbled.
"See, she missed me", he said.
"Yeah that roll of the eyes was what convinced me of that", I said.
Joe chuckled. Getting to the office, we walked in and went towards the meeting room. Stephanie's assistant told us to have a seat. Denise pulled out her computer and was clicking away at it.
"I missed that sound", I said.
"I missed it too and working with you guys. Renee was such a bitch and the things she had me do didn't involve a computer", she said.
"What? She took the only thing that makes my queen happy away from her", Colby said, jumping up.
She rolled her eyes.
"Sit down", Joe said laughing.
"I forgot to tell you how beautiful you look today. I missed you sweetheart", Colby said to her, his finger caressing the top of her hand.
Denise finally looked up from her computer.
"Did you say something?", she asked him.
We knew she heard him. Colby sat back and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I'm kidding Lopez, thank you and yes, I actually missed you the most", she said, shutting her laptop.
He leaned towards her and smiled. Stephanie walked in and handed us each a file.
"There's a problem gentlemen and since you are familiar with him, Hunter and I agreed to bring you in", she said.
I opened the file and the picture of the man staring back at me made my anger rise.
"He's in prison, for life", I said.
"He was", she said.
Joe and Colby looked up.
"What do you mean he was?", I asked, standing up slowly.
"Jon", she said.
"Answer his question", Joe said.
"He escaped. His team, they found a way to get him out", she said.
"You realize that this man, almost killed Colby. He tortured him, and don't forget those twenty agents he killed. He almost blew up Joe and I", I said, my voice getting louder.
"I know that", Stephanie yelled.
"You know who he'll come after first right? Us", Joe said.
"I know and you three have taken him down before. Jon, you took him down by shooting him", she said.
"I got lucky, I pulled the gun off a dead agent", I said, getting angrier.
"He has a son now. You have to remember that and you can't ask him to go look for this guy", Colby said.
"I know that but there is no one else I trust with this", she said.
"Wait, where are they now Jon?", Denise asked.
I pulled my phone out quickly and hit Lucia's number. She didn't answer. I dialed again.
"Come on Lucia, please", I was cut off.
"Hello", she answered.
I let out the breath I was holding.
"Lucy, where are you?", I asked.
"Shopping with my sister and Ben", she said.
"Don't go home. Lety either, I need you to call your dad and have him put you up somewhere, hell go to Mexico and stay with him there", I said.
"What's going on Jon?", she asked.
"Sweetheart just please do as I ask, as soon as I can I will go to you and explain everything, okay", I said.
"Jon", she said.
"Don't argue with me Lucia, just please do as I ask", I said.
"Okay", she said.
I ended the call.
"We have to take this job", I said to the guys.
"You think he knows about Lucia and Ben?", Colby asked.
We looked at Stephanie. She clicked something and pictures popped up of men and women who worked with Sheamus. Recognizing the two people closest to Sheamus, Finn Balor and Becky Lynch. Then the pictures flipped to Joe and Lety buying tickets to a movie. Colby babysitting for us one night, you could see him through the window holding Ben. Then pictures of Lucia and I washing the car.
"This is how close they got", Stephanie said.
"That was a month ago", I said.
Stephanie nodded.
"How long has Sheamus been out?", Joe asked.
"Two weeks", Denise said.
We all looked at her, she turned her computer.
"Looks like you gave me access again", she said to Stephanie.
I looked at Stephanie.
"Give me a few days to make sure my family is safe and out of harms way", I said.
She nodded.
"Okay, I can assemble a team for you", she said.
Joe stood and shook his head no.
"We will do it. I want to make sure this team is capable of doing what we need", he said.
Stephanie nodded.
"Good luck gentlemen", she said, walking out.
"I'm guessing you have that certain team assembled in your head already", I said.
He nodded. Colby looked lost. I placed my hand on his shoulder and he looked up at me.
"I'm fine man, don't worry", he said.
"You think he knows who Lucia and Lety's dad is? I mean, somewhere along the lines he would have bumped into him", Denise said.
I nodded.
"Can you find anything on that?", I asked.
"Do you know who you're talking to? I mean, has it really been that long that you already forgot what I can do", she said.
I chuckled.
"Okay sorry, do your thing", I said.
She started clicking away.
Lucia-
I called my dad and he sent my uncle Phil over with Graves, Corbin, and Swagger.
"You know something don't you", I said to my uncle.
I could see it on his face.
"This guy, he's a business partner of ours and I say ours because you are still in this", my uncle said.
"Jon doesn't like him", I said.
"He doesn't like him because like your father, Jon tried to arrest him. He did actually, but his partners helped him out and now he wants to get back at the three men", he said.
"You really think I care about working with him now? He's trying to kill my boyfriend, my son's father", I said.
"Lucia", he said.
"No. If he puts one finger on him or any of the guys, I will have him killed. Even if I have to pull the trigger myself", I said.
"Does he know who our dad is?", Lety asked.
"Yes", he said.
"So what, he's gonna kill us now?", I asked.
"No, you will remain unharmed as long as your dad still works with him", he said.
"I love Jon and if he does anything to hurt him, I will not hesitate to go after him", I said.
"Your dad knows that", he said.
"He doubts Sheamus will try anything now that he knows who your dad is. He won't want to ruin that business relationship with him", Graves said.
Ben started crying. I went to go pick him up and change him. Walking back into the living room.
"There he is, can I hold him?", my uncle asked.
I nodded and handed Ben over to him.
"Hi Benny, I'm uncle Phil", he said as I went into the kitchen to make Ben a bottle.
Lety came into the kitchen.
"The guys just pulled in", she said.
I nodded. Jon was gonna be mad. He asked me to leave, but with what my uncle said I knew that no harm would come to Ben or me. Hoping that he would understand.
