Chapter 3

It was 11 am and Dean and his "Associates" showed up to Salusti's office.

Jaimie was working at her desk logging inventory. Nick came out of his office just as Dean, Cater, & Ty arrived.

"Hey Baby!" Dean said to Jaimie as she stood up and Dean gave her a kiss. Carter & Ty followed suit. "You look fantastic girl!" Ty said. Jaimie smiled. "Nick, this is Carter Sutton, and Ty Briggs." Nick extended his hand. "Nice to meet you both. Why don't you gentlemen come into my office…Jaimie would you be so kind to get everyone here something to drink?" She shook her head. "Ummmmm we have water, soda, coffee.." Dean walked over to her….whispered in her ear. "Coffee sounds great all the way around." She nodded and went to retrieve each gentleman a cup of coffee. While getting the coffee she almost made it for each person. First she did Dean's then she went to do Carter's and she realized that….how would she know how he would take his coffee so she retrieved the sugar & creamer and put it on the tray.

As they were entering Nick's office; Dean stopped him…"Hey man I hope we have an understanding regarding my wife; HANDS off. That's all I'm saying. Unless there isn't a ring on her finger she is spoken for. Got it?" Nick shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah man I got it; were cool."

Jaimie knocked on the door. "Here's your coffee gentlemen….Dean honey, just like you like it. Sorry I didn't know how each of you like yours." "Not a problem sweetheart." Carter said.

Jaimie left the office and went back to log her inventory. While the guys were in with Salusti Jaimie got a chance to print an extra copy of the inventory of the narcotics that Salusti had in the warehouse.

She hadn't seen the all of the inventory on the list yet because she hadn't logged everything herself. When she did a report he usually stood over her and she would hand the report to him immediately. She never had time to print it out and take it with her to really study it.

Dean, Carter, & Ty had come out of Salusti's office feeling quite confident. They had made a deal to move some vicodin on the street. As they were leaving…"Tonight Sullivan's to celebrate. 7pm." Salusti said. "We'll be there." Dean said shaking Salusti's hand. "Dean why don't you take your lovely wife to lunch. She can have the rest of the day off." "Thanks man." Dean said. "Jaimie I hope to see you this evening also." Jaimie shook her head. "Thank you Nick."

Carter and Ty left the building. They were going to meet up with Dean at the loft. When Dean arrived with Jaimie they were both surprised to see her. "What?" She asked. "He gave me the rest of the day off. Here…I got a chance to run a report of his inventory in the warehouse." Carter grabbed it. He studied it. He was quite happy with what he was showing as inventory in his warehouse. "This guy has his hands in everything." He said handing it off to Ty. Ty began going over the list. "Oxycontin, vicodin, darviset, GHB, rohypnol, ketamine, most of these are date rape drugs. Wow…………we gotta get this guy off the street."

Carter decided to get a game plan together; they would make the deal tonight and but Sallust's ass in the morning after they see the merchandise.

Jaime stood up. "Well I better go get ready. I will meet you guys at Sullivan's." Dean stood up to take her. "No Dean you should stay here. I will meet you there. We don't want to look to eager. I will get there a little early; tell him we had an argument. Maybe get him to buy me a drink." "Good idea Jaime." Ty said. "See you around 7." With that Jaime left.

It was 6:30 when Jaime arrived. She wore a white tank top a black three quarter sleeve length sweater and black Capri cargo pants and black wedge shoes. She didn't want to overdress but she didn't want to under dress either.

Nick was already at the bar. "Jaime….you're here already? Where are you husband?" Jaime laughed…"Dean…mom Dean and I had a fight earlier. He accused me of having an affair with you." "Let me get you a drink before he gets here, let's talk about it." She smiled and let him escort her to the bar area. She was surprised when he went behind the bar. "You work here?" "Oh no, I own it." He said. "What's your pleasure?" "Umm Margarita." Jaimie said. As Nick was preparing her drink she decided to scan the room not paying attention to what Nick was doing. While she wasn't looking he put a roofie in her drink. "Here you go." He said. "Thank you." She said. As they were talking Jaimie began to feel light headed. "You alright?" Nick asked? "Um yeah." She said.

As they were talking Dean, Ty & Carter walked in and saw Jaimie at the bar with Nick. Nick had come out from behind the bar so the guys had no idea that he had made the drink for Jaimie. "Gentleman…" Dean gave Nick a nod with his head and walked over to Jaimie. "Jaimie…" She looked at him. "Hey…" she said as she sipped her drink." "You alright?" He asked. "Yeah…why?" "You look a little tired." "I am." She said.

She stood up and felt a wave a nausea come over her but she didn't say anything. "Come on; let's join the party." Dean said guiding her toward Carter, Ty & Salusti.

As they were talking about what kind of deal to make Ty noticed that Jaimie seemed disoriented. "Jaimie…you okay?" She looked at him and her eyes were glazed over. "Ty..." She said. "How many Margaritas' have you had?" She laughed. "Just one." She said waving her finger around. Dean laughed…"My wife's a light weight." "Shut up Dean. How would you know? You never spend any time with me anymore. "Bartender another round for my friend here." Said Nick as he got up from the table and walked over to the bar. He brought shots of tequila over for the guys and another Margarita over for Jaimie. "Thank you Nick. See Dean Nick knows how to treat a lady." She said. Jaimie downed her 2nd Margarita with in 2 minutes. Dean leaned over to her. "Honey slow down." Jaimie put her head in her hands. "I wanna go home." She said. They all looked at her shocked. "What?" Dean said. Jaimie leaned toward him…"I want to go home. I want you to take me home." Dean placed his hand on her cheek…"Honey I'm in the middle of a deal right now…I can't take you home." Just as Jaimie was about to say something Ty stood up…"I gotta check in with the wife anyway…Jaimie how about I take you home."

Nick seemed irritated and walked away. "What the hell Jaimie?" Dean said disgustedly.

Ty leaned over to Carter "I think she's been drugged." Carter's head spun around. "What?" Dean looked over at Ty who was helping Jaimie… "I think he drugged her. Look I'm gonna take her home. Finish up with him here. I have a feeling he is going to be making an unexpected visit to her house tonight."

Ty shook hands with Dean and Carter. "Thanks man. I can't deal with this shit tonight she doesn't understand…BUSINESS first." Nick walked back over to the table. "Ty…"

"Nick…you'll be okay with my boys. I'm just gonna drop Dean's wife off here and head on home. Told the wife I wouldn't be too late tonight anyway." With that Ty escorted Jaimie out of the bar. "Jaimie…Jaimie?" "How you feeling sweetheart?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Ty I don't feel very well." "I know honey…I know."

Dean was seething at the table. "Dean…you need to relax; calm down." Carter said. "If that asshole put something in her drink…." I'm gonna f'n kill him!" Dean said.
