Never Judge a Book
Chapter 14
I don't own a thing!
Since I got lazy in actually looking up spanish, I decided to just BOLD whatever they're saying in spanish. Sooo...
BOLD= Spanish
*The picture for this story is what Jen looks like*
I want to do one more chapter, which would be the aftermath chapter. Then I might do a sequel to it, but I'm still debating on it. Review me what you want in the very last chapter, after you read this. It should be up within the next few days. I hope to have it up by Christmas Day(December 25th). Anywhore, here is Chapter 14 :)
I walked into Jack's hospital room with his clip board.
"How's the patient?" I asked. He just shrugs.
"Alright, I guess." He answered. "When can I go back home?" I glanced through the papers attached to the clipboard, and smiled.
"Maybe Tomorrow, Jacky boy." A smile emerged onto his face.
"Thank god, Hospital food sucks."
"Sorry, Our five star chef is gone for the week." I teased. "If you're good, I'll bring you a burger from McDonalds."
"Please, and I'll love you forever."
"Are you saying you didn't love me before? I'm hurt, Jack." He chuckled. "I'll be back a little later to keep you company, alright?" He nodded, and I proceeded out the room. I walked to the nurse's station to hand off my clipboard.
"Jen!" I turned to see Dan, walking towards me.
"Hi Dan." I greeted.
"I was thinking, How about we go out tomorrow night for coffee. Ya know, to re-do our first date."
"Let me get back to you on that one. " I said.
"Well just let me know." I nodded. Just as he walked away, I turned to see Destiny looking at me.
"Since when are you gonna turn down Dr. Hottie?" She asked.
"It's complicated, Des."
"You chose the other guy, didn't you?" She said. I stood there in silence, looking through files. "Does that mean I can have Dr. Hottie?" I shrugged.
"Go for it,"
I walked into the the Mercer household, and it was surprisingly. Bobby's car was parked outside.
"Bobby!" I called, taking my boots off. I placed my purse on the couch, then headed up the stairs. I hear the shower shut off, and seconds later the door opens. There was Bobby with a towel wrapped around his lower half.
"How's Cracker Jack?" I shrugged, leaning against his door frame.
"Good, he's dying to come home." I answered.
"When can he come home?"
"Possibly tomorrow, I'm not sure yet." He nodded, as he walked passed me."When are we gonna fix this house?".
"Soon." He answered. .
"So what's the plan?"
"What are you talking about?" He questioned.
"Aren't we gonna retaliate?" I asked.
"No, We almost lost Jack. I'm not gonna put someone else's life in danger."
"That's the point, We almost lost Jack. We need to get our fucking revenge."
"She has a point," I turned to see Angel behind me. "Mom is dead and Victor is gonna pay for what we did. We are the Mercers and we never back down from a fight."
"They aren't gonna stop until we're all dead." I added.
"I can ask Evan if Sweet will cut a deal." Jerry says jumping into the conversation. "He's a business man I can give him the rest of Mom's insurance money."
"He's not gonna go for that…"Bobby said.
"It's worth a try." I said. Jerry and Angel both left the room.
"Wanna hand me a clean shirt?" I reached into his dresser, and tossed him a shirt.
"So you're in?"
"If Jerry can pull through." He said. I smiled.
"There's the Bobby Mercer I know." I walked downstairs, and plopped on the couch.
"Evan said he'll go for it and the meeting is at 4." Jerry said.
"Today?" Angel asked. Jerry nods his head, answering Angel's question.
"That's in 3 hours." I say.
"That's not all…" He trailed off. "Evan said if Fowler is there, Sweet won't go for it."
"So there's not no plan," Bobby said, jointing the conversation. He sat next to me on the couch.
"There's a plan." Angel says. The three of us look in his direction in confusion.
"We can take him out before the meeting," I said. Now their eyes are on me.
"We can't kill a cop, even if he is corrupted." Jerry said.
"He handed mom to Sweet; He ain't walking away fro this." Bobby said. After that was said they started to come up with a plan. Sweet got Evelyn killed and my 'baby brother' shot, and now it's time for him to get his ass handed to him.
BZZZZZ BZZZZZ
I grabbed my phone, and it was Angel calling. I press speaker, and held it in my hand.
"Hey, Got him." He said.
"Is he out of the way?" I asked.
"What? You wanna ask him?"
"Let me hear his voice." Bobby said.
"Hold on. Let me put him on." We could hear moving, and him trying to breathe.
"We got you bitch." I hung up the phone and placed it in my pocket. "Go!" Jerry walks out the door, and I close it.
"You ready Bobby?" I asked. He nodded, and hands me a gun. I place it in my boot and we made our way out the door.
As we walked, I got another phone call from Angel saying he finished the job. I noticed a group of guys and Jerry walking out clapping as he does. I glance over at Bobby, and see he's wearing Evelyn's favorite cross necklace.
"Let's do this,"He mutters before kissing my lips.
"Yeah. That's right." Jerry says.
"Is this what you all been waiting on? The oldest Mercer and the family friend?" Sweet says with a smirk on his face.
"You good, Jerry?" Bobby asks.
"I'm straight." Jerry answered. "You good, Jen?"
"Fantastic," I replied, as Vic looks me up and down. He was checking me out, and all I can do is fight the urge to gag.
"Who's gonna do it? Don't tell me it's you sweetheart." He said, laying at the thought. I let out a small chuckle as Bobby hands me his jacket, and I put it on my body.
"Me?" I shake my head. "I'm just here to watch. Although I'd love to be the one to kick your ass, I'm gonna let Bobby have this one."
"No Shit. Bobby Mercer. Back in town." Vic says as he takes of his coat. "You're gonna be the one man?"
"Watch his hands, Bobby." Evan said as Bobby steps up to him. He kisses Evelyn's cross and tucks it into his turtle neck. When Bobby steps all the way into the circle, it begins. Everyone is yelling and screaming.
"Get him Bobby! Whoop his ass!" They cheer. I stand there, and silently root for Bobby.
Bobby swings at Sweet and misses but Sweet hits him in the jaw when he tried to turn around. He hits him again before he could react, then Bobby hits the floor.
"Get up Bobby!" I scream at him.
"Come on." Vic yells. A sigh of relief sweeps over me when I see him get up. They circle around the ring a few times. Bobby lays a hard jab to Sweet's nose and another one. Vic is taken back by Bobby's actions and attempts to play it off but I see that he's clueless on what to do next. The men continue to cheer Bobby on.
"Get him! You got this!" They yell. Bobby goes to punch him but Vic ducks and hits him in the face twice and once in the gut. He goes down and Sweet wrestles him until Bobby is under him and they're strangling each other.
"Goodnight man," Sweet says. I'm getting nervous about this whole plan now. They're getting closer and closer to that big whole in the ice.
Vic flips them around so Bobby is on his back and Vic is under him as he puts him in a chokehold.
"Elbows! Elbows!" Bobby elbows him until Vic release him. He elbows him in the face then punches him twice in the face.
"Get up Bitch! Get up!" Bobby yells at him. Vic gets up and Bobby punches him right in his spine and Vic falls into Evan, who pushes him back into the fight. Bobby head butts him, knees him int eh stomach, and Vic falls over.
"Yeah!" They cheer. He looks in my direction.
"Wanna help me, cutie?" I shook my head.
"You killed a woman a cared deeply cared about. She was like my second mother to me, and you killed her without a second thought. Personally, You disgust me Mr. Sweet. I feel like you're just a waste of space and your mother should've just swallowed you. For what you've done, I hope you rot in hell where you belong." I said harsh but calm tone. The men gasp around me at my cut-throat words. He lunged at me but Bobby served him with an uppercut that knocks him out cold.
"Put him in the hole." Bobby says as he wraps his arms around my waist.
"You did good, Mr. Mercer." I said with a smile, then kissed his lips.
We began our journey back to the Mercer household. Evelyn is avenged and Vic is gone. He was no longer going to cause havoc on the streets of Detroit anymore.
"What about the cops Bobby?" Jerry asked. I'm walking between them.
"Cops love the Mercers, Jerry." Bobby says, and I just shake my head.
Everything should be back to normal. I need to prepare for whatever comes my way in the next few days. Something tells me I'm gonna need a lot of luck.
