Scene 10 The Waiting Game

Jordan sat curled up in the chair next to Jack's bed sipping on coffee. He had woken up about an hour ago and asked about his brothers. She didn't want to worry him so she just told him they had just left to go get some food. Satisfied with that answer he fell back to sleep and now Jordan sat there worrying enough for the both of them.

Yeah, she had sounded confident in her plan as she told it to Bobby, Angel and Jeremiah but really she had just made it up there on the spot. What if something went wrong? What if Victor didn't go for the meet? What if Fowler got in the way? Now that she thought about it she was almost certain that Fowler would be involved in the meeting with Victor. What if the brothers didn't take that into account? Would they think of something to keep him out of the way?

There were so many what ifs it was making her head hurt. She wouldn't be able to handle being responsible for Jack losing someone else he cared for. She knew how much his brothers meant to him. They had never really talked about his childhood much but from what she gathered, before he came to Evelyn's house and became part of her family of misfits he had had it rough. His brothers may have always teased him and gave him a hard time but it was obvious how much they all meant to each other and how they always look out for Jack.

Just then her phone sounded. She hurriedly answered it, praying for a word from the guys. "Hello?"

"Jordan?" It was Sofie.

"Hey, Sofie, what is going on? Are you with the guys? Where are you? What happened?" The questions poured from her mouth.

"I am at the police station. They are questioning Angel Bobby and Jeremiah right now." she replied.

"Are they okay? What do the police know? Are they being charged with anything?" Jordan hated not knowing what was going on.

"I think they bought everything. They are still suspicious but they don't have any proof so they are just trying to get someone to talk. Hey here comes Angel and Jeremiah. I gotta go!"

"Wait what about Bobby? Call me back when you know!" She said as the phone clicked off.

"What's going on with Bobby?" Jack's groggy voice startled her.

"Hey, babe. Oh nothing to worry about. How are you feeling?" She said avoiding his eyes.

"Don't lie to me. You know something now spill." Jack demanded.

"Okay," Jordan replied guiltily "Your brothers went after Victor Sweet." She said quickly, the words rushing from her mouth.

"What!" Jack demanded as he tried to sit up.

"Hey, hey relax" Jordan said as she helped him lay back down. "They are fine. That was Sofie on the phone. They are all okay, the police are just questioning them. I doubt they have any evidence, just their suspicions so everything should be okay."

"Yeah, easy for you to say. You have never seen them around the cops." Jack mumbled. "Probably telling them they fucked their wives" he said under his breath.

Jordan chuckled and helped Jack get comfortable. "It's okay, just go back to sleep. I promise I will let you know as soon as I find anything out." she said as she leaned over and kissed his forehead.

Let me know what you think.
