Once they reached the club again. Casey crossed her arms over her chest.
"I am not getting off till someone explains what the crossroad is", she said.
Karl sighed.
"It's the only place where each territory meets. The Bloodline, Bullet Club, and DX. Garcia said that would be our table meeting of sorts. No guns, no knives, just words and fists", Karl said.
"Would DX not follow the rules?", Casey asked, afraid for her husband and the crew.
Karl met her eyes in the mirror.
"They would be stupid if they did. Not only will they have to answer to The Bloodline and whatever is left of Bullet Club, but also Garcia. He would display them to the other bosses around the world.", Karl said.
"Don't fuck with me", Tama said.
Casey relaxed.
"Now, if you would so kindly get off and stay inside the club till we come back. We would appreciate it.", Karl said.
Casey rolled her eyes before getting off. They watched till she got inside before driving off. Once she saw that they were gone, she made her way to her car.
Afa was whispering harshly to whoever was on the phone with him. He finally got off and walked over to AJ.
"He's coming, as long as we follow the rules. We don't all need Garcia coming for us and setting us as examples around the world", Afa said.
AJ nodded and paced again. After five minutes, three cars showed up. Hunter and Shawn got off, making their way to the intersection.
AJ didn't give Hunter a chance to speak, he punched him right on his jaw.
"Alright, now that you have a hit in. Lets discuss this like men", Sika said.
"Is she still alive, or are you fucking with us?", Finn asked.
Hunter rubbed his jaw.
"She's alive. Ric had her hidden from us as well. I got those photos from our inside man", Hunter replied.
"Still taking women? Didn't you learn your lesson the first time?", Rock asked.
"We took her a long time ago. We've been out of that business for awhile. Garcia wanted us to get as many of the girls back and returned. Ric doesn't trust us anymore, so we had one of ours infiltrate his crew", Shawn replied.
Sika looked at AJ to confirm this. He nodded.
"So she is still with Ric?", Afa asked.
"No. After AJ rescued his wife, Ric was able to get away with a few of the women, including Trish. He hid them away for the first five years. Finally took them out and divided them up to each of his clubs.", Hunter explained.
"Our guy got that picture a few months ago. She was being escorted out of the strip club and to a house they have them hidden in", Shawn added.
"Ric is making sure his investments don't get away", Finn said.
Hunter and Shawn nodded.
"Our guy has spoken to her. She knows you guys thought she was dead. Doesn't hold it against you", Hunter said.
"Tell your guy to get in touch with us. We want her back", AJ said.
Hunter and Shawn nodded.
"Are we done here?", Sika asked.
"Yeah, all good", AJ said.
Hunter nodded once before leaving with Shawn. AJ looked at Sika.
"Ric knows all my guys.", AJ said.
Sika looked at Roman, Dean, and Seth.
"He doesn't know my boys.", Sika said.
AJ looked at them.
"When we have a plan set, I'll call you.", he said to them.
Roman nodded. He handed AJ a card.
"It's the number to our main club", Roman said.
AJ handed it to Takahashi and he pushed it into his pocket. Roman knew AJ wouldn't respect him till he did something that deserved respect.
Word would spread and get every boss talking about the return of The Bloodline.
Another car pulled up and AJ walked over. Karl nodded before rolling his window back up and driving off. AJ followed next and Sika looked at Roman.
"What he says goes. To him you are beneath him. You haven't earned the right to speak up. Understood?", Sika said.
Roman nodded.
Casey knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Veronica. She raised a brow.
"Can we talk?", she asked.
Veronica looked up and down the hall before nodding and opening the door wider.
Casey noticed how empty her apartment looked.
"What can I do for you?", Veronica asked.
Casey turned to face her. Handing her phone over.
"This is my best friend, Trish", she said.
Veronica looked from the photo to Casey.
"Okay", she replied.
"Someone took her fifteen years ago. We thought she was dead, but it turns out, she's not.", Casey said.
Veronica sighed.
"Would his name be Ric Flair?", she asked.
"Yeah, how…", Casey caught on.
"Yeah, its what you think. He tried buying me from my dad. My dad told him no, of course. I've heard a lot about Ric and his dealings", Veronica said.
She walked over to her computer and turned it on.
"Did you come here to ask me for my help?", Veronica asked.
Casey nodded.
"Give me your phone again", she said, holding her hand out.
She set it in Veronica's hand. Veronica connected it and started typing away. She grabbed her phone.
"Hello?", another woman picked up.
"Bay, I need your help", Veronica said.
"Go", this Bay woman said.
"I'm sending you a photo of someone, I need help finding her. Ric took her awhile back", Veronica said.
She knew that's all she needed to say for Bayley to search. Ric was a thorn in their father's side.
"Argentina", Bayley said.
"Thanks Bay", Veronica said.
Veronica hung up and printed out some papers. She handed them to Casey.
"Location, name of the club, and recent photos", Veronica said.
"Um, actually…", Casey said, pushing her hand away.
"He doesn't know you asked for my help, does he?", Veronica asked.
"No", she replied.
"You are putting me in a difficult situation. I left my father so I could get out of stuff like this", she said.
"I know, but he is going to be so angry with me if he finds out that I asked. He doesn't want to look bad to your father", Casey said.
Veronica sighed.
"I drop these off and I'm done.", Veronica said.
Casey nodded. She left and Veronica gave her a ten minute head start.
Once Casey reached the club, AJ wasn't back yet. She decided on calling her grandma to see how she was. The line said the number had been disconnected. She stood to go and check on her, but AJ walked in.
"Sorry babe", he said, kissing her.
"Everything go okay? You look to be in one piece", she said.
He chuckled before he showed her his hand.
"Damn", she mumbled.
"Doesn't hurt as bad as it looks", he replied.
Finn knocked on the door.
"Boss, the Garcia girl is here to see you. Says she has important information.", Finn said.
AJ nodded.
"Lets hope no one has tried to kill her. Garcia coming here is the last thing we need", AJ said.
"Hey, I'm going to go check on my grandma. I tried to call her, but her number has been disconnected.", she said.
"I know", he replied, stopping her.
She raised a brow.
"What do you mean you know?", she asked.
"I know because I moved her into our house. Not all her things are moved in completely because I had to take the guys to the crossroads meeting.", AJ replied.
She nodded.
"Then I'll see you at home", she said, kissing his cheek.
"Home", he nodded.
After she left, AJ followed Finn. Kenny and Matt were keeping Veronica company.
"What can I do for you Miss Garcia?", AJ asked.
"Just call me Ronnie", she replied.
He nodded.
"And its not what you could do for me, but what I can give to you", she replied.
AJ raised a brow. She pushed the file over the table to him. He lifted it and opened it. Reading the information, he looked up, shocked.
"How?", he asked.
She shrugged.
"I heard a rumor", she replied.
"Of course you did. I almost forgot who your dad is", he said.
"Lets just say, Ric tried to do that to me. I was fifteen.", she said.
"Of course he would", AJ chuckled.
"This is were my hand ends. The rest is up to you. Good luck", she said, before walking out.
"Kenny", AJ said.
"On it", he replied, before following Veronica out.
"Finn, get me in touch with Garcia", AJ said.
Finn nodded.
Casey paced the bathroom as she waited to hear from AJ. Its been two days since he opened his club in town.
Rumor going around that a lot of people walked out on DX, and they weren't too happy with The Bullet Club.
AJ thought it was safer for her if he stayed away.
"Casey, hun, everything okay?", her grandma knocked on the door.
Casey relaxed and washed her hands before walking out.
"All good", she replied, walking past her.
Her grandma nodded.
"Oh, by the way, thank you for picking up your grandpa's medicine. By the way, how did you pay off the late payments?", her grandma said.
Casey stopped and looked at her.
"What?", she asked.
Her grandma nodded.
"When I went this morning, they told me someone already picked it up. They also paid for the late payments and for the next few months", she said.
Casey was confused. Her grandma went back to their bedroom. She didn't pay them. Her grandpa coughed, catching her attention.
"I think we both know who did", he said.
"AJ", she whispered.
Her grandpa nodded before going back to his newspaper.
Getting to her house, she just stared at it for a long time. Eight bedrooms, each with their own full bathrooms. A giant kitchen and living room. A movie room and AJ even had his own man cave.
A giant swimming pool with a waterfall. A bbq to the side of it. She had told AJ it was too much, but he had just shaken his head no.
The front door opened to reveal a maid and her grandma. Casey smiled.
She had tried to get her grandparents to move in with them, AJ didn't mind, but they had said no. That she needed to start her own life.
AJ had bought them a small house of their own, which Casey was surprised by.
"Welcome home sweetie", her grandma said with a smile.
Casey hugged her before she walked in. It still looked as she left it.
