In the middle of the night Santana shoots up into a sitting position as her phone beeps and quickly grabs the device, she looks around the living room biting her lip as she immediately locks eyes with Naya and glances down at the two blonde's laying between them on the pull out couch softly sighing in relief as she sees Brittany still fast asleep buried in Heather's arms with her face still pressed against her side.
''Who is it?'' Naya asks keeping her voice soft, Santana sighs tiredly turning back to her phone and opens Puck's text message.
''Puck.'' She replies softly as she reads the message.
From Puck: Thank god you all went to B's place and not Nay's and Hemo's, we caught the fucker trying to break into their house.
''He tried to break into your house.'' She whispers shocked as she types out a reply.
To Puck: What the fuck? You caught him?
She quickly silences her phone as he tries calling her and carefully slips from the couch making sure she won't wake Brittany, she answers the call silently telling Puck to hold on and helps Naya stand up without waking both blondes.
''Talk to us Noah.'' She breaths out as she walks into the kitchen watching Naya close the door.
''We caught the motherfucker trying to break into the house, I am glad you all decided to stay at B's place because he was heavily armed.''
''What do you call heavily armed?'' Naya asks her voice wavering.
''Let's just say, the shit the cops found will put him away for a lifetime without the possibility for parole.''
''How many Puck?''
Santana jumps as Brittany's tired voice filters through the kitchen and quickly walks over as she sees her tiredly leaning against the door frame body trembling with fear and Heather right behind her the same fear they all feel clear in her eyes.
''B..''
''No tell me, he is caught so tell me what he had and wanted to try.''
''One guy accompanying him, four guns, five knives, a huge amount of chloroform but the worst thing was in my eyes a Molotov cocktail.''
''He wasn't out to only hurt me.'' Brittany whispers in realization. ''He was out to get everyone who was with me.'' She adds her voice cracking as she looks at the three women surrounding her, she shakes her head tears filling her eyes and sniffles. ''Fuck no, excuse me for a second.''
''Puck call Mercedes and tell her I need her lawyer.'' Santana orders as she reaches out to stop her girlfriend before she can walk out of the apartment with Heather and Naya's help. ''Tell her I need him as soon as possible and send him to the station, I want that fucker behind bars far away from here.''
She ends the call as she hears him promising that he will call Mercedes as soon as possible and reaches around her girlfriend to lock the door. ''You are not leaving this apartment.'' She whispers with finality in her voice.
''And we aren't leaving either, we are all fine B.'' Naya promises as she turns her around so she is leaning back against the door.
''He tried to hurt all of you!'' Brittany chokes out through her tears. ''If we had gone to your place, I wouldn't be the only one hurt!''
''But he didn't.'' Naya breaths out her heart breaking as Brittany crumbles down to hide her face in her knees. ''We are all here and we don't plan on going anywhere.''
''You can't allow the bad thoughts to win Cuz.'' Heather adds as she crouches down in front of her, she tilts her head up so she is looking at her and forces a smile. ''We are all here and we are fine, don't think of the what if's!''
Santana bites her lip as she watches Naya and Heather console Brittany and sighs sadly looking down at her phone as another call comes in, she answers it the second she sees Mercedes's name and puts it on speaker. ''Hey Superstar.''
''Sup Snixx, what the hell happened and why the hell do you need my lawyer?''
Santana sighs locking eyes with her girlfriend and runs a hand through her hair as she just nods her head silently telling her that she can tell Mercedes what happened. ''My girlfriend escaped an abusive relationship before she moved to LA with her son, her ex found her and tried to attack her tonight. We are staying at her place but he found Hemo's and Nay's place thinking she would be there and was armed with enough weapons to harm everyone.'' She explains.
''Hold up, girlfriend and how do they know the girls?''
''She is my cousin C.'' Heather explains.
''Okay that makes sense but girlfriend?''
''Yes girlfriend C.'' Santana confirms with a shake of her head, she cracks a smile as she hears a surprised noise filtering through the speakers and sighs. ''Look I am sure you will meet her as soon as you are back in LA for a few days, but for now I just need your lawyer and I need him fast.''
''He is listening, what do you need him to do?''
''I need him to go to the precinct look at what the cops used to arrest that bastard, I don't want my girl or her son to be a part of the trial so please let him try to talk in her favor.''
''I can try, but I think the police want to know.''
''Well they only have to search the data bank, he has a fucking restraining order and abused it.'' Naya scoffs out. ''If they still want to talk to someone let them call me, I have Britt's permission to talk for her and I definitely will.''
''Hold up there is a restraining order he abused?'' Santana bites her lip as Naya just hums and tilts her head relief filling her body as she hears his reply. ''That makes this whole case easier, I will fly down immediately and make sure to talk to the police as soon as I land.''
''Santana please send Mercedes the phone number of the woman who is allowed to talk in her favor, I need proof that she is related to one of the woman living there.''
''I will send it to you right after this phone call.'' Santana promises. ''Tell C to send me your bank details.'' She adds.
''Babe.''
''San.'' Brittany, Heather and Naya breath out in unison, Santana just shakes her head and sighs.
''Just promise me that, that bastard will land behind bars as far away from LA as possible Jack.''
''I promise, you all promise me one thing too.''
''What?'' Santana asks curiously.
''Up the security at all of your places for the coming months and well Heather and Naya I recommend moving and keeping your address a secret.'' Jack tells them. ''Santana I know your place is already secured enough and you have an apartment where everyone thinks you live so keep that up, I don't know where Brittany lives but I recommend upping the security there too.''
''I have four guys sitting up front and four swapping shifts with them every eight hours.'' Santana murmurs. ''Those guys are hired by my driver slash bodyguard so I know they are good, she is safe same goes for both of our kids.''
''Good as soon as he is in jail I will make sure to keep track on him, but I hope the problem is solved as soon as he is freezing his ass off in Alaska for all I care.''
''I hope so too, I owe the both of you.''
''You don't owe us anything just keep your ass safe Snixx.'' Mercedes breaths out easily taking over the conversation. ''I will send Jack over with the jet, as soon as he is jailed I will be in LA too and I want to see your happy ass.''
Santana chuckles and nods her head. ''That can be arranged, thanks C.''
''Don't mention it, try to rest a bit and don't worry Snixx.'' She hears her deep intake of breath and forces a smile. ''All of you don't worry, Jack will handle it.'' She hears her promise.
Santana ends the call after promising Mercedes that she will try not to worry and throws her phone onto the couch after shooting Puck a text to thank him for everything, she turns to the three still sitting in front of the door and sighs. ''Let's move back to the living room.''
''Exactly how much do you owe people right now?'' Naya asks softly as she watches her girlfriend help Brittany up and into the living room.
''I don't know how much Jack will ask, but without him I am around six grand.''
''Six?!''
''I have eight people in front of this place, one with Puck and two added to your bodyguards with our kids Nay.'' Santana whispers. ''Puck called in the whole team because I begged him to right after you all nodded off, I don't fucking care how much money I have to pay as long as all of us are safe.''
''We'll share the amount.'' Naya states, she shakes her head as Santana opens her mouth to object and pulls her in a tight hug. ''I appreciate you looking out for Brittany like we all do and I love you for that, but we all want to see her happy so no matter how much the shit will cost in the end we will divide it between us we just need to convince B that she doesn't need to pay a dime.''
''I love her Nay.'' Santana breaths out with a sad sigh. ''And I fucking hate seeing her in this state, I just want to get over it and watch her enjoy life again.''
''And we all will make sure that will happen.'' Heather promises as she joins them. ''B is asking for you.'' She adds as she locks eyes with Santana, she turns to Naya and bites her lip. ''We will grab two of the guys outside after they called for reinforcement and go to your parents, B wants us to explain them what is going on.''
She holds Santana back as Naya walks in to hug Brittany and locks eyes with her. ''I can't thank you enough San.'' She whispers as she pulls her in a hug. ''I know my cousin definitely hit the jackpot with you.''
''You don't have to thank me at all.'' Santana murmurs as she pulls out of the hug after kissing her cheek. ''Give the kids a kiss from us?''
''We will.'' Naya promises as she joins them again carrying both of their jackets. ''We will be back in a few hours with lunch.'' She hugs Santana as she nods her head and smiles as she leads them to the front door.
Santana sighs promising the both of them that they will stay inside and closes the door locking it with the three locks as soon as they walked out and met up with two of the guys standing downstairs, she walks into the living room after grabbing two water bottles out of the kitchen and walks back to the couch locking eyes with her girlfriend as she looks up.
''You were asking for me?'' She asks softly as she sits back down beside her, she grunts as Brittany practically crashes on top of her and quickly drops both bottles to hold her close feeling tears soak her shirt immediately. ''Britt-Britt.'' She whispers softly as she runs her hand down her back.
''I don't even know how to thank you.'' Brittany whispers through her tears as she keeps her face hidden against her shoulder, she just tightens her hold around Santana's shoulders as she tries to pull back and shakes her head. ''Please just hold me.''
Santana smiles sadly kissing the side of her head and tightens her hold around her waist. ''You don't have to thank me at all, I just hope Jack will end everything as soon as he landed.'' She whispers softly. ''You and Li are safe mi amor.'' She adds voice filled with promise. ''Nothing will happen to him or to you.''
She slips her hand under the shirt Brittany wears to soothingly run her hand up her spine, closing her eyes as she feels the scars she hides everyday under a few layers of expensive make-up and just buries her nose in soft blonde locks. ''Try to sleep a bit more baby.''
She slowly kicks her legs up onto the couch keeping Brittany close as she grunts softly knowing she is fighting sleep and just pulls her closer after covering the both of them with a blanket, she kisses the top of her head as she slides down to bury her face in her chest and continues the ministrations on her back hoping it will relax her enough to allow her to fall asleep.
After a few minutes she sighs softly in relief as Brittany finally gives up fighting sleep and just nuzzles her face in soft blonde locks taking out her phone with her free hand, she scrolls down her contacts stopping as she reaches Puck's name and taps it to send him a message.
To Puck: Can you please go to the agency after you took a day and close it for the week? Just send a mass text out to all girls and tell them it's because of private matters, reassure the money loving girls that they will still receive their weekly payment and after that take the yacht and just take a few days to also relax I won't be leaving B's side and I am sure the guys up front won't leave either until I call them off.
After sending the text she opens Quinn's chat reading her concerned messages and types out a message.
To Q: I know Nick kept you updated and told you what happened, we will be fine Q. I will be closing the Agency for a week, maybe longer if needed and already told Puck to take the yacht and just relax if you want to take a few days vacation with Rach, feel free to do it. Love you.
After tapping send she scrolls down to the last person she wants to warn in person and taps it, she smiles slightly as she reads the long thank you text and writes out a reply.
To Nick: You don't have to thank me for anything Nick, I already told the other crazies B not included that I am closing the agency for a week, longer if I have to. I know you won't take a vacation and will focus on B like I will, but please try to relax alright? Love you Nick and don't worry too much, we will be fine.
She drops her phone after sending it, reading Puck's message smiling as he tells her that he will indeed take the yacht to go fishing and just places her phone down after silencing the messages but keeping it on loud for phone calls.
She pulls Brittany closer as she starts grumbling in her sleep and kisses the top of her head. ''It's just a dream Britt-Britt.'' She whispers soothingly. ''You and Li are safe.'' She adds keeping her voice soft and sure, she looks up at the ceiling as she relaxes once again and bites her lip.
God please help me to keep them safe and protected, I don't know what I would do knowing something happened to mi hija, Britt or Li.
