AJ had followed Casey to her room. She sat nervous on the edge. Suddenly a moan rang out and she blushed, AJ chuckled.
"Karl", he shook his head.
He looked at Casey.
"I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything. We can talk, I like talking", he said, sitting beside her.
She smiled.
"So, you said you were leaving DX. How does that work? I mean, won't they like, put a hit on you or something?", she asked, whispering the end.
He smirked and gently touched her chin.
"Me and my crew will set boundary lines with them. We've already got clients and a future spot for a club. As long as we don't step on their toes, we're good", he replied.
"But you're stealing their clients", she said.
She didn't really want to know what kind of clients they had.
"No. These clients we brought in, they trust us. If we left, they would follow", AJ said.
She nodded.
"What is it exactly that you do, AJ?", she finally asked, even though apart of her was scolding her for asking.
He kept his eyes connected with hers for what felt like hours. He leaned in and kissed her gently.
"Get to know me first. I don't want you running from me before I've had the chance to show you what kind of man I am outside of all that", he whispered against her lips.
She nodded. She shouldn't have, she should have kicked him out of her room and told him to leave her alone. But she couldn't. Now he had her on her back and slowly removing her clothes.
"Wait", she suddenly said.
He did. He smiled gently.
"Its okay, you are worth the wait. Put some pajamas on before I change my mind", he smirked.
She quickly stood and dressed. Turning, he was in only his boxers, laying on his side of the bed. He patted the empty side and she joined him. He cuddle close to her. She could feel his muscles against her back. His strong arms holding her to him.
"So, tell me more about your parents", he said.
She smiled.
Veronica, watched the men in their car from her fire escape. They had been sitting there for a few hours now. So, they were either hitmen coming to kill her as revenge for whatever or whoever her father pissed off.
Or Second, they were AJ's men sent to watch her to make sure she wasn't a spy for her father. They hadn't moved from their spot, if they were here to kill her they would have done so before dropping her off.
So she went with the second option.
Deciding to find out, she climbed back into her bedroom and found her gun. Quickly loading it and hiding it behind her back. She grabbed her knife, a gift from her brother in law Andrade.
"Easily slices through the skin", he had said.
Pushing the knife into her boot, easy to pull out. Grabbing her jacket, she made her way downstairs. Walking out into the cold night, she went right for the black suv.
"Shit", Kenny mumbled.
She quickly pulled her gun out and pointed it at them.
"Why are you watching my building?", she asked.
He swallowed and held his hands up, along with Matt and Nick.
Casey looked around AJ's office better.
"Sorry, some of our clients like to think they can touch our girls", he said.
She nodded. He has to deal with a few drunk customers every now and then.
"Where's Rosey?", she asked.
AJ froze, she noticed the roll of his shoulders. He was uncomfortable now.
"AJ?", she said.
He met her eyes.
"Dead", he replied.
"What? But how? He, how?", she kept asking.
He walked over to her and helped her sit. Bending down to be at eye level with her. Rosey had always been sweet to her. He and AJ were on good terms and worked out deals quickly and easily.
"Ric Flair", AJ said, it was all he had to say.
She wiped her tears.
"Why?", she asked, angry now.
"Turns out, DX sold his sister Nia to Ric as well. Vince wanted Hunter and Shawn to destroy each family and he knew the only way to do that was to take the thing each family loved the most", AJ said.
"The women", Casey mumbled.
AJ nodded.
"From Ric, each woman would be distributed around the world. Names changed, erasing the person they once were", AJ said.
"Human trafficking", she gasped.
Again, her husband nodded.
"Garcia found out where Ric was getting the women and what he was really doing. Garcia is a lot of things, but kidnapping and human trafficking, not his cup of tea", AJ said.
Casey nodded.
"He cut Ric off, and Ric didn't like that. Rosey was the one to make the call, showed Garcia proof. Before Rosey could reach home, well", AJ stopped.
Casey shook her head.
"You need to find him, and kill him", she suddenly said.
AJ was taken back by that.
"Case", he said.
"I know what I just asked, but if he's not stopped, he's going to continue to kidnap young women", she said.
AJ nodded. He took her hand and kissed the back of it.
"On your orders, my Queen", he replied.
"So?", Veronica said.
"AJ, he wanted us to keep an eye on you incase someone followed you and tried to hurt you", Kenny said.
"Call him", she said.
He nodded and quickly grabbed his phone. He dialed AJ and set it on speaker.
"Omega, everything okay?", AJ asked.
"She caught us and well, as we speak there is a gun pointed at my fucking head", Kenny said.
AJ cleared his throat.
"Miss Garcia, its just a precaution. I don't want someone thinking they can step foot on my property just to kill you because of your father's sins.", AJ said.
"I can take care of myself", she shouted so he could hear.
"Back up?", AJ said.
"Don't get in my way", she said stern.
Kenny, Matt, and Nick nodded their heads quickly. She put the gun away, looking up and down the street before getting inside her apartment building.
"I think I just shit my pants", Nick sighed.
AJ laughed.
"Just stay out of her way and don't surprise her, not unless you want your dicks shot off", AJ said, before hanging up.
"He was kidding right?", Matt asked.
"Did you not see her pointing a gun at us? I don't think he was", Kenny replied.
Casey giggled as AJ shook his head with a smile.
"Runts", he mumbled.
"Is there anyway I can go and visit Rosey's mom? I really want to give her my condolences", Casey said.
AJ shifted in his seat.
"What?", she asked.
"I didn't say anything", he replied.
"You didn't need too. I thought everything was good between Bullet Club and The Bloodline", she said.
"It is", he nodded.
"So then why can't I go?", she asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"My guys did get DX blood, but not all of it. There is a small gap between us and The Bloodline", AJ explained.
"You're afraid DX will be waiting", she said.
"You think you being back was kept within our lines? No baby, far from it.", AJ said.
"Let me take Karl and Luke then. Add Tama and Hangman", she said.
"My best guys", he smirked.
"Guys you trust", she corrected.
He nodded and sighed, leaning back in his chair.
"You aren't letting this go, are you", he said.
"Nope", she replied.
"I'll let them know to be ready early morning tomorrow", he said.
"No", she replied.
"No?", he said.
"Right now", she stood.
"You're pushing it, Casey.", he said, slowly standing as well.
"Learned from the best, dear", she shot back.
He groaned before grabbing the phone.
"Balor, get Karl, Luke, Tama, and Adam on Queen duty. She's paying mother Reigns a visit", AJ said, not taking his eyes off his wife.
He set the phone back down and leaned over the desk.
"Who taught you to be so brave?", he asked.
"You", she replied, leaning over and kissing him.
She backed away and turned on her heels.
"Please be careful", he shouted after her.
"Love you", she shouted back.
He smiled. Grabbing the phone again.
"Balor, get some runts over to Grandma Rossi's place. She's moving into my home today.", AJ said.
"Does your wife know?", Finn asked with a smirk.
"No", was all AJ said.
Casey walked out front to see a black suv pull up. Tama smiled at her, as Hangman opened the door. Luke was passenger and Karl was driving. She made a mental note to sit down with Karl and have a talk.
They hadn't spoken since that day. She had said some horrible things. Blamed him when it wasn't his fault.
"Trish", Casey yelled at the building Ric had her and her best friend locked in.
"Baby, no", AJ growled in her ear.
He was pulling her away as she kept trying to go back.
"Let go of me", she yelled.
She tried slapping him and pushing against him, but it was no use.
"Casey. She's dead, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry baby", AJ cupped her face and yelled.
"No. No", she cried, trying to shove AJ.
She saw Karl and shot right out of AJ's arms. She slapped him.
"You did this, you were suppose to take care of her. She trusted you. You let them take her", she cried and slapped Karl repeatedly.
Karl had let her. He blamed himself just as much.
"Casey stop it", AJ grabbed her and yelled.
"You both damned us. This is your fault and you all have to live with that for the rest of your lives", she yelled, pointing at each man.
"Enough, Case", AJ yelled.
"I wish I never met you", she yelled at him, slapping him hard.
Opening her eyes, she looked in the rearview mirror. Karl glanced at her, before quickly looking away. She was about to say something, when three black suvs stopped their car.
One in front of theirs and one in back. Casey swallowed.
"Don't get out. I don't give a fuck how big your damn balls are, you stay the fuck inside", Karl ordered, gun in hand.
She nodded.
"Tama, stay with her. You peel the fuck out if anything goes down. I mean it, leave us behind. Head for Reigns or back home, but don't stay here", Luke ordered next.
Tama nodded and jumped in Karl's seat once he got off. Karl glanced at Casey's tinted window. She knew not to test his patience.
Tama locked up the car. Shifting to reverse if need be. All they had to do was cross back over their line.
She watched as a door opened on the third vehicle. Out stepped Hunter with Shawn in tow.
"That's far enough", Karl shouted, making Hunter and Shawn stop.
