The next morning I woke up to find Jack was gone. I walked down stairs to find all the guys gone and Sofi sitting on the couch watching the TV. She didn't look to happy and I really wanted to know where Jack was. "Where is Jack?"

"They left about a hour ago to find out what they can." I sat down next to Sofi.

"When are they going to be home?" I really wanted to talk to Jack and spend time with him. It seems since we got here he has been busy with his brothers.

"I never know, look now that the brothers are back together do yourself a favor and don't sit around waiting. They are always going to have Jack busy and from you. The only time you will get is at night for a few hours while he sleeps then he will be gone again." I walked up the stairs to the bedroom I shared with Jack. Looking around the room I started to pack up my things. I figured if this was going to be our life for the rest of it then I was not going to stay. Just as I was about to load my things up out in my car my cell phone went off. I looked down at it to see it was a text message from Jack.

'I love you and sorry that I wasn't there when you woke up but when I get home tonight I promise to make it up to you. We are waiting on some guy to come home because he knows something so once we find out what we can we will be home. I am sorry if I don't get in till late but just remember I love you and I will make it up to you.' Sometimes I swear he is a mind reader. When I'm having a bad day he shows up at the right time to make it better. It's like his has this sense to know when something is wrong with me or when I am up to something. I walked down stairs to see if there was anything to do and because I was starving. Sofi stood up then started to get her shoes on.

"I am going out, do you want to come?" I just shook my head and walked out in the kitchen. "The guys wont be home till late they wont even know you was gone."

"It's starting to snow pretty bad and I really rather just stay here and wait."

"Fine by me." Sofi walked out of the door and I started to clean up the house. I finished all the cleaning and cooked dinner for the guys to heat up when they got home then walked up to the bedroom to go to sleep. I never felt Jack craw in bed beside me that night but in the morning I heard yelling. I looked over to see Jack just waking up also beside me.

"Hey, y'all! Police in the house!" I heard Angels loud mouth.
Jack and I started to walk down the stairs. Jack poked his head out beside Sofi to see what was going on while I just stayed back. "Angel. Mind if we come in?" I heard a voice from out in the door way.

"You're already in. Cops are always welcome at the Mercers. It makes us feel safe and cozy. Just the way we like it." Once Jack got a look at who was in the door and Sofi walked out of the door way more Jack pulled me close to him. I stood in front of him with his arms around me.

"Ain't you sexy." The cop said to Bobby. I then noticed he had on a womens robe and almost started to laugh.

"Thank you. Jackie wanted this little number for himself, but l fought him for it." I just rolled my eyes at Bobby.

"What happened to the hand? Did you happen to forget our little conversation we had at your brother's house about not interfering with our investigation?"

"Oh, no, no. This is Turkey Cup, man. Hockey. An old Mercer family tradition. You remember that, don't you, Green? You played hockey. Guys can be pretty rough out on that ice. However we couldn't let little Jackie get hurt in fount of his new girl so I had to take it for him like the man that I am." Bobby said looking at me smiling.

"Where's you car, Bobby? lt's not outside."

"We left it at Jeremiah's." Sofi chipped in causing Jack to squeeze tighter on me.

"Yeah. Jerry drove us home. You know, Volvos are one of the safest cars out there. Volvos are incredible, man, when it's a blizzard outside."

"Hey, Gretzky, you know what this is?"

"A hair from your wife's tit?"

"Try from your thick skull. Forensics took it off a pair of contract killers we found dead this morning."

"Fishing for a confession with a phony hair, huh? That's an old one, boys. Come on, Green. You know when l'll know you got my hair off a dead body, right? When l hear the jailhouse doors close behind me, girls."

"Okay, then you tell me what they told you." Jack pulled me out in the hall away from everyone.

"Come upstairs with me." I just did as he said and fallowed him up the our bedroom. Once we was up the stairs he turned around and closed the door behind us.

"Did you guys?" I was so scared right now.

"Amber, you trust me right?" I just shook my head. "You have nothing to worry about."

"Yes I do Jack, if you go to jail I loose you forever." He grabbed me and pulled me close.

"I'm never going to jail. They don't have anything on me so I want you to relax and don't think about it."

"Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"Promise me you wont leave me?"

"I promise baby." Little did I know that was the only promise that Jack would ever make to me that he couldn't keep. "I also having some making up to you to work on so let's get started."

"With everyone down stairs?"

"Yes, they wont here." Jack started kissing my neck and his hands started to wonder.

"I love you Jack."

"I love you to." Little did I know this would be the last time Jack would over show me he really loved me.

R&R Let me know what you think so far.
