Chapter One-Hundred and Seventy-Nine
Jessica smiled at the receptionist behind the counter to John's rehab center, placing a fake ID on the counter top. "I'm here to see my boyfriend, Johnathan Bender." She smiled sweetly at the woman, turning on her charm in hopes of getting in. "He's been here for a while and I was hoping to get to lift his spirits a little."
The woman looked her over, knowing full well that this was not John's fire-haired goddess. "I'm sorry, only people on the list are allowed to see him. And I don't seem to have you on here."
"I'm Claire Standish. John's girlfriend."
She shook her head, pointing to a small photo that she'd taken of John and Claire together. "I'm sorry, But Claire has red hair, and yours is brown."
Jessica huffed, looking up as a familiar form walked into the sitting room behind the desk. "John!" She called, waving a hand at him.
"Fuck off, Siren!" He growled, having to pull on Chance's leash as she started to show aggression at her master's temper. "You're not welcome here!"
"But Sweet Cheeks-"
"Don't fucking call me that, Bitch!" He shouted, feeling how Chance was practically begging for the pin command. "I told you I don't like it, and I don't like you. So, go to Hell!"
"Johnny-"
"Chancie, lock down." He ordered, dropping the leash as Chance barreled toward Jessica with all of her Pit Bull strength carrying her.
Jessica screamed, rushing away from the dog as she bounded toward her. "Get away you mutt!"
John gave a shrill whistle, calling Chance back to his side. "Get out of here Medusa." He ordered, feeding Chance a treat from his pocket as he used the clicker to reward her. "Go back to the rest of the gorgons."
Amelia giggled as her new kitten pounced at her shoelaces, rubbing the fur between her ears. "Good kitty Kayla." She smiled, looking up as Dominic burst through the door.
"I found the guys who did it." He gasped, stumbling over his own feet as he looked at the family. "I found the fuckers who raped him."
