A/N Hey everyone! An early one for you. To answer some of your questions:
Ros and Sawyer were watching the cameras. They hung up so they could hear and listen to what the police had to say. (There aren't any more bad people in the family LOL)
You will find out if Ana knew about Jose's other brother. (He's an identical twin)
He had to let Elliott get arrested. It was the only way to get Kate.
All mistakes are my own.
I do not own FSOG.
Christian walked into the precinct with the family lawyer. They asked to immediately see Elliott, and when they were led to the room that was holding him, he breathed in relief.
"Christian, so glad that you're here." Brian Chestnut, their lawyer smirked.
"Not having a good time in here E?" Rolling his eyes, he said no. Elliott glanced at his brother and knew he wanted him to keep quiet. He was going to wait until they got into the car. Once they were out of the police station, and into the back of the car, Elliott spoke.
"What happened? How did I get arrested? And Jackson threatening me?" Christian held up his hand before looking at his lawyer.
"Chestnut. Where can I drop you off?" The man pointed.
"The next block. I have to meet up with another patient. It seems like I have to get all of my clients out of jail tonight," he smirked. The car stopped, and Sawyer quickly got out and helped Chestnut out of the car. When it was the two of them, Christian spoke.
"Kate is the reason you're in here." Christian studied his brother's face. It looked as if it didn't register what he said so he repeated it.
"I heard you the first time, Christian I just don't know if I understand it or believe it."
"Kate has been giving information to the family in exchange for her brother's freedom." Elliot's eyes widened in shock.
"You have got to be kidding me!"
"No, I'm not."
Elliott could see his brother wasn't joking and dread suddenly filled his stomach. In a rare cold expression, he spoke.
"Tell me."
Christian sighed before looking out the window.
"Kate has been talking to a cop. He's trying to bring the family down. She's not talking for any reason. Right now she says that this cop kidnapped her brother. He is under his thumb unless she brings some evidence that gets a Grey locked up, and framed. Taylor has known all along that it was Kate. He didn't tell me until last week, and told me not to tell anyone else." Elliott laughed bitterly.
"You didn't think to tell me?"
"I didn't know it was Kate until he brought her to me."
"But you knew about the mole in the family."
"Yes, I did." Elliot's eyes suddenly widened in understanding.
"That was why you called me to the office. You were going to tell me, but you decided last minute not to. Why is that?"
"Because I didn't want this getting out. Taylor had a feeling they would try to arrest someone this week at the docks. For some reason, they were able to bug your phone. It's why I called Jackson the day before to warn him. Asked him to play along. He wasn't anywhere near the docks. But we had to make everything believable, Elliott. Kate said that she had no choice but to feed this man information. Her father owed a lot of money but when he died the debt fell to her."
Elliot ran a hand over his face. The woman who he loved, who he wanted to marry had betrayed his family? Granted, it was for her brother, but he was hurt and in shock. His silence caused Christian to speak up.
"Do you want to know about the man responsible for this?"
"I do not."
"You should know."
"I don't care about some wannabe thug trying to scare the family! My girl lied to me and to me. For who knows how long!" Reaching over, Christian slapped Elliot across the face.
"Elliot! Snap out of it! Yes, that sucks but the family name needs to be protected at all costs. They are trying to tear down a legacy that took years to build. You wanted to take on more responsibility and-"
"Save it! You probably didn't even want me to take on the business more. You probably wanted me to fail."
Christian chose his words carefully.
"Elliott. I never wanted you to fail. But I don't think you're cut out to be in this type of work. You're too emotional."
"Too emotional?! Christian, I'm not dead inside. Since the day our parents died you've been nothing but a good little robot. Always doing what is expected of you, never put up any fuss."
"Elliott! I had to! Who was going to look out for us? You were still a teenager. I refused to let anything or anyone take you away from me. I'm sorry that I had to be cold, as you say, but I call it survival. It's what I had to do then, and it's what I have to do yet again." Elliott frowned at that.
"Christian. What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about I have your girl. And whether or not she lives is currently being decided."
"No. Take me to her."
"No."
"Take me to her!"
"I said no!" Christian shouted back. "You have shown that you are nothing but an oversized boy. That you cannot step up when need be. I have her in a location that you'll never find and Taylor is with her. If we can verify what she's saying, and get her brother, I will consider letting her live. But I highly doubt it at this time."
"You can't do that! I love her!"
Quick as a snake Christian reached over and grabbed Elliott by the throat. There was death in his eyes and it caused the younger man to swallow.
"I will do what I please because I am Christian Grey. Your girl could've put my wife in danger. She has put her in danger. Taylor will call you if you want to speak with her. But you will have no contact with her." Elliot pushed Christian away before sitting back in the seat he was pulled from. Several moments later they arrived at the front of Elliot's building. Before he stepped out he turned to glare at his brother, who looked even more poised.
"If you do this. If you kill her, I will never forgive you." Turning to face him Christian smiled coldly.
"That's fine. But at least there will be no threat to our family, and you will be alive. Now get out of my car."
Ana hummed to herself as she looked through the racks of lingerie. She was silently glad she was able to come alone. She wanted to surprise Christian as he'd been busy as of late. He seemed stressed, and she wanted to help take it away. Plus, it'd been a couple of days since they had sex. It wasn't their fault. Ana was more tired because of the baby, and Christian was working late at night. She smiled when the sales associate offered to help her with anything.
"I'm okay. Thanks anyway."
"No problem."
The moment she walked away, Ana glanced up and saw a lovely robe. However, she gasped and dropped everything in her hands when she thought she saw a shadow of her ex. The man was wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a jacket. He was also smirking at her.
That can't be Jose.
Ana closed her eyes and counted to ten to ease her own mind. Blinking her eyes open, she sighed in relief when she saw that no one was there.
I must be losing it, she thought to herself. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Another short one, but I wanted to get you guys something early in the week. We are setting up for something big….LOL….Leave me a review it makes my day!
