CHAPTER 22-BROKEN 4 YOU
Javi had been trying to keep control of the situation and everything started falling into his lap. Getting his revenge on Smurf was one thing but holding members of the Cody family were another thing. He felt that he was doing enough at the moment once he figured the whole problem out. It seemed that Jessica wasn't willing to listen if Nicky was around and he had to throw her out. Javi thought two would be better than one but he couldn't hold onto the teenage girl any longer.
He had actually gotten sick of her crying because she had started up again once his men had caught up with her. They didn't go to the same lengths as he did with Jessica as they simply just tackled her to the ground and drug her back to the van. Even though her mouth was duct taped again, her sobbing was getting the best of him.
"Make two more rights and stop once you reach the street" He commented peering over his shoulder to the driver.
Javi had stayed in the back of the van this time in order to keep a closer eye on the two girls though he knew they wouldn't try anything at this point in time. After throwing the blonde inside, Jessica's vision was blurry once she started to come to her senses. More blood had appeared on her shirt and she knew for a fact that her nose had to be fractured or broken as she could hardly feel a thing. Jessica also knew that her lip had been busted due to his knee and her lip cutting on her teeth from the impact.
The driver continued on and hit the brakes slowly once he saw the street. The passenger turned to see them as well, the other had been digging in his pocket to hand Javi something. Nicky's eyes had darted around the van, scared of what was going on. She wanted to get Jessica's attention but she had hung her head down the whole time. There had a little pool of blood where her mouth was on the floor, Jessica had done a thing the whole time.
"Okay girls, looks like I have to drop one of you off. Who will it be?" Javi asked looking between them waiting for a response. Nicky blinked a couple of times at his words while Jessica continued to hang her head. "Lucky for you, I'm letting you get the chance"
Leaning forward, Javi moved next to her side before ripping the tape off quickly, leaving Nicky to cry out from the pain. "You're going to do me a favor. Call Smurf, tell her what's going on and you get to go. If you say anything I don't like…" Javi had slipped his gun from his jacket and waited for her reaction, she had tensed easily.
"What…What happens to Jessica?" She asked shakily. The Cody sister had done so much for her and protected her from everything so far, Nicky didn't want to leave her behind.
"She stays with us. Now call Smurf and tell her that you are perfectly okay" He smirked while handing her the black cell phone.
Taking it with her shaky hand, Nicky had tried remembering what her number had been. She realized that she didn't know it but she obviously knew J's by heart. Dialing it, she raised it to her ear before Javi grabbed it and put it on speaker. He held the phone for her not wanting her to have it in her possession.
The line had rung three times before she could hear a click on the end, that made her heart jump faintly. No one said anything so Javi gave her the okay to say something. "Smurf?" Nicky asked right above a whisper.
"Nicky? J it's Nicky…Are you alright? Where are you?"
She could hear a voice in the background but she didn't know if it was J or not. "I'm fine, um I'm not sure where I'm at" Javi leaned closer to her and whispered the location in her ear. "Ash court, I'm by all these houses. I have no idea where I am"
Even though Javi just gave the location, Nicky had never heard of the neighborhood before. She could hear more male voices in the back with one sounding like Pope which quickly sounded like Craig a second later. Smurf didn't say a word as she knew exactly what Javi was trying to do. "Smurf? Are you still there?"
Another male voice popped up telling her to put it on speaker. There was another click on the line. "What about Jessica? Where is she?"
It was now Nicky who stayed quiet while she looked over at her. Her hands had been duct taped in front of her and she hadn't even raised her head from the mention of her name. "She's um…I don't know"
Javi had said anything to her and Nicky wasn't sure if she should say that she was hurt. If he didn't like it, she was fearful of what would happen. Baz had stepped past everyone and over to the kitchen isle where Smurf had the phone lying.
"What do you mean you don't know? Where is Jessica?" He questioned with both a concerned yet angry expression.
Motioning towards Jessica, Javi was trying to get her attention. He wanted her to say something to let them know she was okay and was still with Nicky. Snapping his fingers a couple of time, Javi then slid his foot out in order to lightly hit hers. That had finally gotten her attention as she lifted her eyes towards him. Putting the phone out towards her, Javi gave her a hard stare to say something.
"I'm here…I'm with Nicky" She commented with the best, fake voice she could manage.
They all heard Smurf call out a relief statement in the background but it was Baz that spoke again. "Jess…Are you okay? What's going on, where are you?"
Jessica had shut her mouth not even wanting to respond. She knew that Javi wouldn't let her anyway so she didn't want to put up another fight, especially since Nicky was going to be let go. Even though she wanted it to be her, she wasn't going to fight and leave a teenage girl with these guys. It was almost as if her motherly instincts had kicked in since the fight at Smurf's and they were still going strong.
Javi was glad that she was finally cooperating and working with him. Patting her leg lightly, he leaned back with the phone still in his hand. "Nicky told you where she was. Come get em" Closing the phone shut, he wasn't going to let them get another word in.
After receiving the phone call, Smurf had to send one of the boys out in order to scoop the girls up. Baz was the first to jump at the chance because he couldn't stop thinking about what has happened, mostly for Jessica's safety. Pope offered to go with him but he wanted to go by himself, he wanted to get there without any issues. His brother would more than likely give him some trouble as he wanted nothing more than to find Javi but his concern right now was on Jessica.
Smurf had also begun to debate on if he should get Lena from Crystal's for extra protection. She didn't think the little girl was in danger but she wanted her family together at all times while this was going on. The problem was if anything were to happen, Lena would be present and she didn't want that. However, she knew Javi wouldn't try anything if all of the Cody's were in the same house.
Pulling up to the neighborhood, Baz's eyes were darting all over in order to spot the girls. The street was only lit by the headlights and streetlights were dull. Nicky had been sitting against the street sign and saw the silver Challenger approaching. Hopping up quickly, she waved faintly and Baz slowed the car down. Unlocking the car, he had been staring at the passenger seat.
Nicky had opened the door with relief and climbed in. "Where's Jessica?" He asked once she closed the door shut.
She turned her head to see him. Nicky didn't know their names because they hadn't said a word to either of them. "They still have her…" Peering over her shoulder, she saw Lena asleep in the back seat.
Baz could tell that Nicky was terrified after what happened. She kept her hands tucked in her lap which had red rings on her wrists from where they had them tied. Her makeup was all over her face, her brown hair was disheveled and her knees were bloody and raw from them tackling her on the beach. Her palms had dried blood on them as well, probably from her hitting the ground.
Taking a deep breath, Baz was trying his best to keep his composure. It didn't last long as he pounded his fist on the steering wheel, making Nicky jump and Lena moved faintly in the back. He did it one more time before covering his face with his hands. He was filled with regret of not going to the dinner, anger for what has happened and concern for what will happen next. Seeing the way Nicky was only made Baz wonder what happened with Jessica even though he watched it on the security cameras. Baz also didn't want to know at the same time.
Nicky watched him then focused her attention on the empty street. "Jessica gave him your number…He asked me but I don't know what it is. He said something about talking to you tomorrow"
Sighing out loud, Baz removed his hands and looked at her. Nodding at her words, Javi was on his mind and it wasn't going to be easy to get through it. "Are you okay?" He asked simply.
Biting her lip, she bobbed her head yes faintly and debated on telling him what happened at the beach. Baz was upset as it was and she wondered if she should hold that piece of information back or not. Instead, he saved her from the thought. "We're going back to Smurfs. You can get cleaned up there and then we need to talk. You're safe now"
All of the Cody's had been equally surprised when Baz showed up with Nicky and only Nicky. By what Javi said, it sounded like he was dropping the both of them off but clearly, that wasn't the case. They all had left her to clean up with they all sat in the living area waiting for her. Smurf had put Lena to bed in the next room so that they were close enough to hear anything since she didn't know Baz was picking her up to begin with. They all had been tired as well as it was hitting early in the morning and they had been trying to figure what to do for hours. With each hour that went by, it had everyone growing more concern for Jessica's safety.
After Nicky had gotten a showered, bandaged and fresh clothes, she came out to see all of them. Her hair was dripping wet with water as she took a seat next to J. She had talked to him for a few minutes to see how he was. Smurf had her eyes locked on the girl and was the first to talk.
"Nicky, where did they take you? Did anything else happen?"
Looking away from J, she took a glance at everyone but focused on Smurf. "We were at a beach, it was so dark that I don't know if it was the one around here or not. Jessica and I tried making a run for it but…" She stopped talking and paused for a moment. "I think they said something about Arizona"
The Cody's all had a different reaction once she dropped that piece of information. If Javi had been going to Arizona, they needed to act faster than expected. Jessica would have been in another state by now which only created more problems. If they had known where Javi was hiding out, things could have been different but they didn't know if he was bouncing state to state.
"So what? We're going to just sit here and wait?" Craig spoke up shifting his eyes all around the room.
"Of course not, our family is being threatened and Javi is holding Jessica against us. He attacked J and Nicky on top of it. We need to come up with a plan"
Baz had turned to Nicky wanting more information. "Did Jess know where you were at? Did she say anything that could help?"
"I don't know, she may have but she didn't say anything to me. She told me to run and that she'd be behind me but I didn't see her at all. When the two guys grabbed me and took me back to the van…" Nicky trailed off again and looked away from him. Everyone had been listening again rather than having the side conversation they were having two seconds ago. "She was in pretty bad shape"
"What do you mean pretty bad shape?" Pope asked in his usual monotone voice.
Nicky swallowed hard before talking. "She's was bleeding pretty bad. I mean, she was bloody before the beach incident but I don't know what happened. She kept her head down and there was blood on the floor. I don't know if someone hit her or what but Jessica lied on the phone. Her face was…" Nicky stopped yet again remembering what she looked like. She had never seen someone look that bad before and it was an image she wasn't going to forget anytime soon. "It was bruised, her mouth and nose were bleeding again"
Leaning back in the chair, Baz was yet again trying to hold it together. He wanted nothing more than to get her back and would do whatever it took. J and Nicky were hardly on his mind compared to everyone else, Smurf had been babying J. None of them had any clue that Baz and Jessica were close yet again but some had certain feelings about it. Over the course of the last few weeks, they had been spending time after time together without anyone knowing.
Deran had also shown great concern on his face considering their relationship as well. Jessica always looked out for him and this was a time that he had failed her. "Well let's go get her then" Craig said practically jumping off of the couch.
"And go where? We don't even know where they are Craig, how are we supposed to start looking for her?" Baz countered back to him with more anger than he intended.
"I don't know but we need to do something. Right?"
Deran had quickly jumped into the mess that was unfolding. "We can't let Javi do what he wants. Give him the money and everything will be over"
"Oh yeah? Before or after he decides that Jessica isn't a good hostage to half and drops her in the ocean?" Pope questioned him as they all started offering their own input.
Smurf had been trying to get a hold of the situation but all four brothers had been going at it. None of them were agreeing on anything and weren't seeing eye to eye with the problem. The family needed to work as one in order to get their sister, aunt, and daughter back.
"Alright! Arguing isn't going to solve anything!" Smurf shouted before jumping up. That caused everyone to look at her, each with a surprised look on their faces. "We need to figure this out fast rather than sit here and fight like school kids. You see what they did to J, just think what could be happening with your sister"
Remaining quiet, all of the Cody boys had too much on their plates. They had never been faced with a hostage situation before but there was a first for everything. Baz's phone had gone off in his jacket pocket and he fished for it. Seeing a mysterious number pop up, he remembered what Nicky said so he knew that it had to be Javi calling. Everyone had turned to him after the ringtone went off and Baz slowly answered.
Javi had wanted to meet him and only him down by the pier on the beach. It wasn't a spot that was filled with people so they could have the simplicity of the morning. Hardly any people would have been out anyway due to the early morning but Javi was taking extra precaution. Baz had accepted the offer wondering if Jessica would be with him or not.
Spying Javi down towards the shoreline, Baz prepared himself for what was going to happen. He was disappointed that he didn't see anyone else so now he knew that Jessica wasn't with him at all. Slipping his leather jacket off, he tossed it in the car before heading down towards the water. Javi never turned around once he approached and instead stared into the orange sunrise.
Baz had looked between the sky and Javi expecting him to say something. He kept his hands in his brown jacket and didn't even acknowledge him standing there. "So…What are we meeting for?" He asked wanting to know the exact reason. It obviously wasn't for Jessica to come back.
"You, Pope and I had good times down here, you remember that?" Javi finally turned his attention away from the ocean and looked at Baz. He didn't shift his body which was ridged and not friendly. "Shit, I remember a lot of things that happened on this beach"
Hearing memories being brought up reminded Baz of when he caught him outside of the Oceanside Clinic. All he did was bring up old memories while taking and seemed to run in circles. It didn't make sense to him but Javi had to have some sort of plan through it all.
"Look, you call me out here after you broke in Smurf's house. You practically left J for dead and took two women as hostages. Just tell me what you want. Is it money? What is it? This doesn't have to end badly for anyone"
"How are the nephew and girlfriend? I didn't rough her up compared to your girlfriend or should I say sister. You ask me, I wasn't up for playing that part"
Blinking at his comment, he was taken back by the remark. Javi knew that while he was dating Jessica meant taking in the baggage of the family but not the history with Baz. He had already been thrown out by Smurf at that point and wouldn't come around any of them. He found out more than he needed to during that time, things that were said without warning. Baz and Jessica hadn't been together for a while at that point so the history was done for the time being. The Cody boys never saw Javi as a brother but they had considered him part of the family when they were younger.
"I'm going to throw this out now, touch Jessica again and you will have a bigger problem than Smurf. She doesn't even want to give you the money, I'm here in order to get you what you want so she can come back home and we can move past this. What's your problem?" Baz asked doing his best to stay calm because he knew that he was ready to lose it.
"Did she ever tell you about Dylan?" Javi quizzed then smirked when he knew the answer already. "I didn't think so, told you Jessica was good with keeping secrets from everyone. Maybe someday you'll know…She's great though, isn't she? I mean, Jessica isn't herself if she doesn't put up a fight right?"
Narrowing his blue eyes, Baz shook his head hard with a smile approaching him. Javi was trying to lure him into something by his words and it was clear. Baz never had a good temper to begin with so this was going to work in his favor. He also knew that Nicky told them everything that happened so Baz had a clear picture of everything that happened. He didn't stop there however, he continued. "We've both had her and we both know what she's capable of. What I wonder is what it's going to take to break her. The drugs never did the trick so maybe beating the hell out of her will"
That was enough to send him in a rage. Baz couldn't help but launch forward with his fist knocking Javi right in the jaw. That sent him onto the sand with a laugh and reaching for his gun that was tucked in his pocket. He had whipped out towards him and licked the blood off of his bottom lip.
"It's always the same with you Baz, all it takes are a few simple words. I'd suggest not doing that again considering I have something you want and you have something I want"
Baz was ready to attack him yet again but did everything to hold his anger back. Taking a few steps away, he placed his hands behind his head and took deep breaths. He had to be careful with what he was doing because he wasn't sure of what Javi was capable of or what his end game plan was. Javi had picked himself up but kept the gun in his hand.
"Smurf shot my Dad in the back of the head and you think I've moved on from it. Your Dad beat the shit out of you and she took you in. Me? I thought she'd consider me as one of her sons like she did to you but no, I never was a part of it. I waited every birthday thinking he'd come back for me and it took twenty years for me to find out the truth. I want what I can't get because your Mother took that away from me when I was just a child!"
Spinning around once he was done talking, Baz could hear the hurt and anger within his voice. It seemed that he and Javi had more in common than he thought, there was an underlying connection that wasn't Jessica. Holding his arms out, he asked again. "Look, I can only get you the money for this to stop. I don't have a problem with you Javi, I just want Jessica to be back and all of this to stop. I'll get you the money, what's it you want? Two hundred thousand?"
"You know, Manny used to always say that Smurf would climb over her own kids just to keep from drowning. She's done it before and she'll do it again. You be careful with her bro, that's all I'm saying. You're not even her kid, look at what she does to the ones that are" Stopping, he slipped the gun back in his jacket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Four hundred sounds better"
"Come on, I'm trying to work with you here. Take the two hundred and let's leave it at that. What do you say?" Baz's eyes trailed to the paper curious as to what it was.
Thinking it over, Javi nodded faintly and took a few steps towards Baz. Sticking his hand out, he was okay with the number but there was another thing that he was adding it. "But I want the money from Smurf. She was supposed to pay me yesterday yet here we are"
"Jake took the money she was supposed to give you, that's why I'm offering it now"
Disagreeing with it, this was now another issue. "No, I want the money from Smurf. Here's the number to call when she agrees to do it, I'm calling in an hour so she better have the money"
Heading back to Smurf's with a new offer wasn't going to solve or at least satisfy anyone's questions. Smurf was very hardheaded and there was a good chance that she wasn't going to like what Baz had to say. It wasn't a choice however, they needed to get Jessica back.
An hour wasn't a lot of time to discuss anything even though the answer had to be yes no matter the cost. Replaying the conversation to everyone in the kitchen again was met with the same answer to all except one.
"Can I ask a question? Why does Javi want all this money?" Deran asked feeling like he was missing part of the story. Baz had left out that part as he was concerned more about the money.
Smurf looked to her youngest and spoke. "Because he blames me for his Dad's death when I had nothing to do with it. We all went to rob a bank and someone screwed up which led to Lou getting shot" She was retelling the story and Baz was listening carefully. "Manny shot and killed him to put him out of his misery. He buried the body in a construction site for houses with my gun. He thinks money is going to solve this little problem"
Baz jumped in quickly. "Wait a minute, Javi told me that you shot his Father in the back of the head over money" Her face had dropped for a split second and all eyes were focused on her. "What one is it?"
"You're going to believe a guy who is demanding almost a half of million dollars over me?" Smurf questioned not denying or agreeing to the claims that were being brought. "Jake took the money that I was supposed to give him"
"So what? Go get more money and give it to him. How hard is that?" Craig asked it seemed that every time someone spoke it was always in a question. He was missing the whole point because Smurf had to have more money. "We're still just going to sit around and wait? Baz said he's going to call any minute now wanting an answer and you are going to tell him no?"
"What do you want me to do? I don't have the money anymore besides; didn't you all pull that little job on the church? We need to handle this"
Deran couldn't believe what was going on and he had to speak up again. "What do you mean we need to handle it? Javi is your problem that you created years ago; this has nothing to do with us. You hand over the money and that's it!"
Smurf again looked towards the blonde Cody. "They almost killed J, he has your sister. You think it has nothing to do with any of you? Do you realize what your life would have been like if I went to prison for murder?"
"Yeah well, you know what? Foster care would have been better than this shit"
Smurf couldn't believe that not one of them had been taking her side. Craig and Deran were leaning up against the back door windows clearly on the same side. Smurf had her back up against the stove whereas Baz was leaning against the refrigerator. Pope and J were sitting down and Nicky was off in Lena's bedroom trying to keep her distracted.
Deran looked towards Baz thinking he was going to jump in but he didn't say a word. He proceeded with more. "Javi has our sister and Smurf's not going to give him money just because Jake took it already, no one has a problem with it?"
"No one is saying that Deran, Smurf is going to get the two hundred thousand dollars, give it to Javi and Jessica will be back once he calls"
It was as if Baz had just predicted it because her phone had begun ringing on the kitchen island. All the Cody's moved towards the phone with the exception of Pope and J who were still sitting. All eyes had been on her yet again as she reached for the phone. Sliding her finger over answer, Smurf put it on speaker and set it back down.
Javi had been holding the phone up to his ear and once he heard the line click, that was when the chain events were going to kick off. "Smurf…How is my favorite girl doing?"
"You can quit the act now Javi, no one is in the mood for it. You called so I answered"
"You're not going to even ask how your daughter is doing? Here, why don't I let you say hi"
Arizona wasn't in the picture as Javi decided to stay in California. He knew some people who had an abandoned wear house at least two hours away from Oceanside and he was hiding out there. His men were sitting around the place listening to him talk while Jessica was in the center of the room. They had her tied to a chair with duct tape over her mouth so she couldn't yell. She had been watching him wishing that she could hear them on the other line.
Walking in her direction, Javi stood in front of her before ripping the tape off which left a faint red mark from it. She turned her head from the impact and he held the phone out towards her after hitting speaker. Nodding towards her, Jessica looked between him and the phone.
"Mom?..." Jessica's voice was vulnerable and soft. There was hurt lying in it as well.
"Hi Baby, how are you holding up?"
"Give him the money…Please just give him the money…I want to come home"
Getting that little snippet from her was enough to make Smurf, or at least Javi thought so. He thought that Baz would have convinced Smurf that Jessica was the key to solving everything. As long as he convinced her that her daughter was part of the plan, she would have no problem getting the money. Well, that is at least what many people would have done but Smurf wasn't just anyone.
"Jake has the money I was supposed to give you last night. You want the money, go after him for it"
That answer was not at all what Javi expected. Gazing towards Jessica, he could read her face without a problem. Her mouth had been open and her eyes slowly shifted towards the phone. She was in surprise as much as he was, that wasn't good for either of them.
"No…I said I want you to give me the money no matter what. Jake's a different problem that I'll deal with but for now, I'm starting with you. You give me the money, you get Jessica. It's simple"
Both of them listened to voices in the background, it sounded like none of the brothers were accepting what Smurf had said either. She shushed them quickly before speaking. "And I told you how this is going to go. You get the money from Jake, I'm still the one who paid for it. We meet get Jessica back and your problem goes onto him"
Leisurely standing up, Javi's patience was running out again. Pointing over to the guys who were sitting, he pointed to one of them to step outside. Jessica watched knowing that the answer didn't make him happy. Growing scared, she tried her best wigging in the chair but it was to no avail. Her hands were tied behind her back and chair, her legs perfectly in place against the chairs. Shaking her head widely, she cried for a second while trying to get free.
"Oh Smurf, I thought your daughter was hardheaded but you are in the same boat as her. The problem right now is I want my money and I'm not tracking down a guy who I have no idea where he is. You can get Jessica back but I can't get Jake so it's not really a fair deal either. You really think I'm just going to stand here and wait? No, you can thank Baz for this next idea"
He was over by the door of the building looking for the man he sent out. The guy came back with nothing so Javi went searching for something within the building. None of them knew what he was planning so for the second he was on a mission. Grabbing a baseball that was sitting in the far corner, he picked it up and walked back over towards Jessica.
Jessica had stopped moving when she heard the bat scraping on the cold cement. Scoffing in fear, her stormy eyes started welling with tears. "What are you doing? Javi, please…Please don't do this" She didn't know he was going to do but it didn't look pretty.
"Untie on her hands and hold out her arm. One of you get this bat" He began to order the others to come back over. Chris had stayed back a little from them. "You don't give it to me then I'm going to do this to her. I will do whatever I want as leverage until the money is in my possession"
"Javi? What are you doing?..." Smurf's voice trailed off after listening to him. She could hear the venom that was in his voice and Jessica's crying wasn't helping.
"Give him the fucking money!" Jessica shouted towards the phone once one of the men got her hands free. Handing the bat to the other man, he was going to show that he wasn't playing around.
"You better hold still" Javi said while ordering the other guy to hold her arm out straight in a line. "Break it…" He said staring at Jessica for a few heartbeats. She started crying heavier and began wiggling again. He really didn't want to now push it to this extent but what else could he do to show he was serious? "Jessica, hold still. You don't want this to be worse than it needs to be"
Picking up the bat, the tip of it had laid directly on her elbow. Javi turned around but held the phone towards them so the Cody family could hear what was going on. They all began talking once again and it got quiet every few seconds. Lifting the baseball bat, Jessica stopped moving, took a deep breath and prepared for the impact.
The bat had come down and struck the elbow perfectly. Her arm had fallen out of the other man's hand from it and her screams were piercing everyone's ears. The pain she felt was overwhelming and she clamped her eyes shut while trying to best to break free from the chair again. Jessica knew that her arm was broken because she could hear the crunch from her bones, the pain that radiated up to her elbow and that she felt the numbness that had kickstarted already. Her breathing was heavy, her eyesight was dizzy and she didn't know how she didn't pass out. More tears began pouring and Javi finally turned around to see everything.
Nodding to his right, the men stepped away and Javi bent back down to her. Grabbing her arm gently, he looked at and could tell it was broken too. Setting it back down gently, he took a very deep breath not even believing he went that far. He tried silencing her but knew that she wasn't going to with the pain.
"This is step one. I would suggest getting the money rather quickly before something else decides to go down. Next time I call, you answer the phone and meet me where I want. If not, I doubt you'll be getting her back in one piece"
"Javi I swear…" Smurf said wanting to know exactly what happened as she only knew the just of it. "If you touch her again…"
"You won't have to worry if you come through. You wanna say anything?" Holding the phone out towards Jessica, she still screamed but tried calming it down.
"Please…You can't leave me here…Mom, please…Baz…" Jessica was in between breaths and tears while trying to form a sentence. The pain was leaving her speechless but she was crying out to anyone that would listen.
Snapping the phone shut, Javi rubbed the back of his head before looking at her again. "I'm sorry but it had to be done"
Getting back up, he wasn't satisfied but he felt that what he did was justifiable. Snapping his fingers to the men, they all had stepped out with him closing and locking the door behind him.
