Dean-
Looking over the photos, I recognized some of Corbin and Graves tattoos. I sighed and got up. I needed to get to my family.
"Dude", Colby said, helping me up.
"I need to get to her, this can't wait", I said.
"You can't travel yet Jon", Joe said.
"I don't care. If I open up my wounds, I'm sure they have someone who can stitch them back up. I need to get to her and I will do that, with or without you", I said.
"Fine, let's go", he said standing.
I slowly got dressed, putting my jacket on. The door to my room opened. Denise stopped and looked at all three of us.
"Are you guys crazy? If you leave this room, Stephanie will follow you", she said.
"That's why we are hoping you would do us a favor", I said.
She shook her head.
"I don't know why I still work with you three", she said.
"Because you love us, but me more", Colby said smiling.
"What do you need?", she asked.
"A thirty minute head start. I'm hoping they won't notice me missing right away", I said.
"Fine, you better go now. I'm sure Renee is due to come and check on you", she said.
"Thank you", I said, moving as fast as I could out the door.
Roman lifted me off the floor and started walking faster. I chuckled.
"You weren't moving fast enough for me", he said.
Colby had gone to get the car. He pulled up at the front and Joe practically threw me in. I called Phil.
"Hello", he answered.
"Hey, Phil it's Jon. I was wondering if you could get me a jet ready?", I asked.
"Damn kid, I thought you died", he said.
I chuckled.
"Sorry to burst your bubble. So can you do it?", I asked.
"Sure thing, I'll send you the directions where you can find the jet", he said.
I hung up and waited for that text. I felt my side and realized I was bleeding.
"Shit", I hissed.
Lucia-
I was meeting with Finn Balor and Becky Lynch. Graves, Swagger, and Corbin by my side. Sami Zayn was across the street in the next building, turns out he was a fantastic sniper. He'll be watching from afar and ready if anything goes bad.
"Are you sure you really want to do this? I think maybe we should think about this", Graves said.
"If you're scared then wait in the car, I'm going in", I said.
"I'm not scared for me, I'm scared for you", he said.
I looked at him through the mirror.
"I'm not afraid", I said.
All three men looked at me. It was true, I wasn't afraid. Pulling up to the building, my phone started ringing.
"Hello", I answered.
"I see you", Sami said.
"Good", I said, hanging up.
We walked in and took the elevator up. Baron stayed by my side while Graves and Swagger stayed up front. Becky and Finn sat in the waiting room. They stood once they saw me.
"Shall we", I said, walking in to the meeting room.
They followed. We all sat down.
"I hope your boss got my gift. I put a lot of thought into it", I said.
Becky rolled her eyes.
"Please tell him to expect more, soon", I said.
I smiled. Corey's phone started ringing, he answered it. He moved out of the room.
"So, why did you want to meet?", Becky asked.
"I want to discuss something with you and you, Balor", I said.
Finn raised a brow and then looked at Becky. Becky leaned back in her seat.
"I want nothing from you", she said.
"Then you can go, but I promise, we will see each other very soon", I said.
I smiled.
"Have a good day Miss Lynch", I said.
She glanced at Swagger and Corbin, then slowly stood. I laughed.
"What's wrong Miss Lynch, scared", I said.
She glared at me.
"Sheamus might have a deal with your father but I", I cut her off.
Baron flashed his gun.
"But you what?", I asked with a smirk on my face.
"Becky, wait outside for me", Finn said.
She walked out as Corey walked back in. I looked at Finn.
"You'll like this deal, I promise", I said.
"I doubt it", he said.
"How would you like to replace Sheamus when he's gone", I said.
Finn licked his lips.
"I see I've got your attention", I said.
"What's gonna stop Sheamus from killing me if he finds out?", he asked.
"He's not going to. Just keep your mouth shut and we will take care of Sheamus", Corbin said.
"Can you promise that?", he asked.
"No, we can't but as long as he doesn't find out, no harm done", I said.
He looked back at me then down at the table. I looked at Graves, Corbin, and Swagger.
"Leave us", I said.
"But", I cut Baron off.
By lifting my hand.
"Get out, give me a minute with Finn", I said.
"Yes ma'am", Jack said.
Once they were out, I got up and went over to Finn. Straddling him, he licked his lips.
"You will have everything you've ever wanted. Power, money, and any woman you want", I said.
"What about your husband?", he asked.
"He's dead", I said.
He thought about it for a second.
"You can give me control of the Irish crew?", he asked.
I nodded and ran my fingers through his short hair.
"Just give me time to get to him. In the mean time just act normal", I said.
"Deal", he said.
I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Looks like I have a new business partner", I said.
I stood and opened the door, walking out.
"Let's go", I said.
Becky stood and went over to Finn. I could hear her asking him what went on in the room. Getting back to the car.
"Who was on the phone?", I asked.
"Your uncle. Wanted to know where you were, told him you were safe.", he said.
"How's Zayn?", I asked.
"On his way back to the house. He wanted to make sure Finn and Lynch left", Jack said.
I nodded. I sighed.
"You okay?", Graves asked.
"Exhausted. I don't know how my mom and dad do this", I said.
"You pretty much nailed it", Baron said.
I chuckled.
Getting back home, it was late. We walked into the house.
"Have a good night guys, get some sleep", I said.
They nodded and I watched them walk out back. I took off my heels, noticing the kitchen light was on and I walked in. My dad was sitting at the table eating ice cream. I leaned against the wall.
"Mom is going to kill you if she finds out", I said.
He laughed.
"I'll let you get some if you don't tell", he said.
I laughed and went to join him. I grabbed a spoon and dipped it in, getting a scoop.
"A package came for you, it's in your room now", he said.
"You put a package in my room? Where Benjamin is, alone", I said standing.
"We checked it over, relax. You think I would endanger my grandson", he said.
I took a deep breath, sitting back down.
"Can I ask you something?", I asked.
He nodded and ate another scoop.
"Does this get easier? This life?", I asked.
He looked down and then back up at me.
"Killing someone is never easy, so to answer your question, no it doesn't", he said.
"How do you and mom do it?", I asked.
"We use to have to do it to protect you and your sister. So we knew we had too, it was either protect you or lose you", he said.
"I'm doing this to protect Jon, Colby, and Joe", I said.
"I know", he said.
"Ben needs Jon", I said.
"And you?", he asked.
I looked down.
"We should get to bed, you look tired", he said.
I nodded and stood.
"Goodnight dad", I said.
I walked upstairs and to my room. Ben wasn't in his bed. I looked around.
"Relax", I stopped at the sound of that all too familiar voice.
I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. Huge hands on my stomach. I felt my body tremble. A warm breath by my ear.
"Hi gorgeous", he whispered.
I turned in his arms, tears fell as I looked into his ice blue eyes.
"Jon", my voice broke as I said his name.
"Hey", he said with a smile.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close. He winced and I pulled away.
"I'm sorry", I said, putting my hand on his blood stained shirt.
It wasn't a lot of blood, but it was enough to make me worry.
"You're bleeding", I said.
I pulled him to sit down. I went to my door and called out to Ana.
"Doll, hey, come here", he said.
"Jon we have to get you stitched up", I said.
I helped him out of his jacket and then took off his shirt. His wound was open and bleeding. Ana walked in.
"Please call the doctor, tell him to hurry", I said, she nodded and left the room.
Jon cupped my face in his hands.
"Lucy, what did you do?", he asked.
I pulled away from him and looked down.
"This ends Lucia, it ends now", he said.
"Where's Ben?", I asked.
"With Joe and Colby", he said.
I nodded.
"I'm here to take you home. They planned to put us in witness protection", he said.
"I can't", I said.
He stood.
"I am taking you home Lucia", he said stern.
"No", I said.
He took a step towards me and I took one back.
"It's too late. You and I made a deal Jon, that if your way doesn't work, then I get to handle this my way. Well it's my turn", I said.
"Sweetheart", he said.
"End of discussion", I said.
I walked into my closet and changed clothes.
"I love you", he said.
He had walked into the closet. I sighed and took his hand, pulling him back to the bed and sat him down.
"Don't move", I said.
"You didn't say it", he said.
I looked at him.
"You know I love you Jon, that is why I'm doing this. I would do anything for you baby", I said.
"Then come home with me, stop this", he said.
"I can't. Either deal with that or leave", I said, getting up and going into my bathroom.
I leaned against the door and took a deep breath.
