Matt and Nick were trying to listen in. They had seen Casey walk into the room.
"Bucks", Finn shouted from the bar, making the brothers jump.
He raised a brow as they walked over to him.
"What are you doing?", Finn asked.
"Casey walked in there last night and hasn't come out. We don't know who she went in there with", Matt replied.
Finn nodded and walked over to the door. He knew Casey wasn't stupid. She wouldn't meet with anyone other than AJ in his club.
He knocked. The door opened a minute later. AJ's hair was a mess as he brushed it back. Casey was laying on the couch, covered in AJ's jacket.
"Eyes off", AJ said, closing the door more.
"Didn't mean to stare. Didn't want the men thinking bad of Casey after they saw her walk in here alone.", Finn replied.
AJ walked out and showed his face to his men. They were getting ready for Garcia and for the club to open. Lita was counting the cash her girls made last night. Dividing up the clubs half, hers, and the girls.
The club for protecting them, Lita for the clients.
"Is Garcia here?", AJ asked.
"His jet just landed", Tama answered.
"There's an extra suit in your office. Go shower and get dressed, I'll let you know when he gets here", Finn said.
"No. I'm going to wait till Casey gets up.", AJ replied, before walking back into the room.
Finn nodded. Jay walked over to him.
"Meeting room is ready", he said.
"Good. Lita, you remembered to get Garcia's favorite?", Finn asked.
She nodded.
"Had Takahashi set it in the office", she replied.
AJ kissed Casey's shoulder as he brushed her hair behind her ear. She moaned and shifted a bit. Seeing his face, she smiled.
"Good morning lover", she whispered.
He leaned over and kissed her gently.
"How I've missed you underneath me. Last night was amazing, just like every other time. Making love to you will never get old", he replied.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of her. He chuckled.
"I can't babe, Garcia is due to arrive", he whispered.
"He can wait, he's on your territory", she mumbled against his lips.
Her hand found its way into his pants and he growled.
"Convince me why don't you", he said.
She giggled.
Garcia arrived with his daughters by his side. Seeing how much the sisters all looked alike. Bits and pieces of Veronica Finn noticed.
"Where are your men?", Hangman asked.
The women each looked at him and he took a step back. Finn laughed.
"He doesn't need men", Finn replied, winking at Brie.
She gave him a small smile and a blush, till her oldest sister elbowed her.
"Is he ready?", Garcia asked.
"Just about, if you want to follow Karl to the meeting room, we can get you all a drink", Finn said.
Karl gestured for Garcia and his daughters to follow. They did. Finn looked at Luke.
"Tell him he's here", Finn whispered.
Luke nodded.
AJ held the roses for Casey as he watched her walk the stage in her cap and gown. Karl stood beside him, a smile just as big as AJ's graced his face. AJ let Casey's grandparents have their moment with their granddaughter. Accepting flowers and a card from them.
He approached and held out the flowers. She took them with a smile.
"Thank you babe", she said, kissing him.
"There's more where that came from, but that's a bit later", he said.
"More? AJ, I don't need more. The roses are fine my love", she replied.
"You deserve the world, and I'm going to give it to you", he replied.
She blushed.
AJ walked into the meeting room. Garcia was whispering with his oldest. Finn was flirting with one of the twins. She smiled at him. Melina approached AJ.
"So why did you call?", she asked.
Nikki approached her dad. AJ noticed that one of them stayed beside him at all times.
"We found a friend, a friend Ric took from us fifteen years ago", AJ said.
Melina glanced at Bayley.
"Her name wouldn't happen to be Trish, would it?", Melina asked.
AJ nodded.
"How did you know?", he asked.
"A mutual acquaintance filled us in", Melina said.
AJ noticed Bayley let her head fall a bit before approaching her dad. Nikki stood beside Melina. He noticed Garcia set a hand on Bayley and whisper something to her.
Bayley had told her other sisters about the call with Veronica. Saying she had befriended a woman, not knowing who she was.
When they did their research, they realized Casey was AJ Styles's wife. Their dad had mumbled something about expecting a call for help from him.
Especially since Garcia was after Ric Flair as well.
"You want Ric, we want Ric. We know where he is. Help us and you get Ric all to yourselves", AJ said, knowing he had to make a deal.
Karl's eyes flashed to AJ. He wanted to make Ric pay, not hand him over alive to someone else. Tama approached him.
"Wait outside", he whispered.
Karl huffed before walking out. Slamming the door behind him.
"He doesn't seem to agree", Nikki said.
"The woman we are looking for, she is his wife. We thought she was dead", Luke spoke up.
Melina nodded.
"We'll help, but…", she stopped.
"But?", AJ asked.
"Ric isn't there anymore. You really think he would stay in one place for this long. He might go and visit every now and then, but not stay", Nikki said.
"And how do you know this?", Tama asked.
"Because, we've been trying to find him too. Every time he pops up, we go to get him and he's suddenly gone. He doesn't stay in one place for more than a week.", Bayley finally spoke.
"We sit and watch, we've been doing it for almost a year when we figured out what he does. We have each of his locations. He goes back to each one every other month", Brie added.
"He's repetitive, doesn't change it up", Nikki said.
"So you know where he'll be next?", Finn asked.
All four women nodded.
"But, if we go after your wife's friend, he might change it up or he might disappear for another fifteen years like he did last time.", Melina said.
"Are you asking us to choose?", Tama asked.
"Yes, we are", Melina said, no hesitation.
The men looked at each other.
"Looks like you all need a moment. I have business with The Bloodline as well", Garcia said.
AJ knew Sika and Afa had to let Garcia know that his boys were going to help them get Trish back.
"Call us when you've come to a decision. We will be in town for a few more days", Garcia said, walking out.
Finn squeezed Brie's hand.
"Call me", he whispered.
She nodded.
Casey noticed Karl at the bar. He had a photo of Trish in his hands. She sat beside him and he sighed.
"Come to tell me how its still my fault?", he mumbled.
"Of course not. I just needed someone to blame then", she said softly.
He nodded before gesturing to the bartender for another drink.
"Mrs. Styles, drink?", the bartender asked.
"Just water with a lemon, please", she answered.
He nodded.
"AJ and I promised to protect you and we couldn't. We failed you", he mumbled.
She looked at him. Guilt written all over his face, he looked exhausted. She set a hand on his arm and he looked at her.
"It wasn't your fault, just like it wasn't AJ's fault. You couldn't have known Vince would go so low. You and AJ took care of it, killed DX", she said.
"Not all of them. Garcia said they needed a head to their seat. Told us to leave Hunter and Shawn in charge.", he replied.
"Why?", she asked.
"Says they didn't know who you or Trish were till after they had taken you. Garcia believed them, in exchange for their lives, they had to get rid of the bad seed", Karl said.
"Bad seed?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Vince", he replied.
She gasped.
"Did they…", she stopped, not wanting to finish that sentence.
He just nodded and tossed back his drink.
"He was trying to make rules and orders for himself. No one is suppose to do anything of those lengths without running it by Garcia.", Karl said.
"He was going to go after Garcia", she said.
He nodded.
"With what Vince did, gave Garcia the opportunity to kill Vince without having to explain much else, other than he had our women kidnapped", Karl said.
She nodded. Her eyes caught a man leaving, women following him.
"Is that him?", she asked.
Karl looked behind him and nodded.
"Yup, and those are his daughters", he replied, pushing away from the bar.
He looked at Casey.
"I should go see what the verdict is", he said, before walking away.
"Karl", she called.
He stopped and faced her.
"I'm sorry", she said.
He smirked.
"I am too. I will get her back, Case", he said.
"I know", she smiled.
