Chapter9 Band-Aid on a Bullet Hole

"Fuck my Fucking life that no son of bitch is going to pay dearly for this!" Marina growled as she continued to pace around in her living-roomwhile Raquel and Ashley tried to keep Marina calm and rational as she debated paying Potter a visit and introducing him to the business end of her combat boots.

Rina calm down you're going to black out you don't need that you keep it together for Nicky's sake."

"Ash trust me right now this is calm because of that bible thumping ass clown Nicky was outed to the entire city and any hope Lily had of catching the animals that hurt Rocky and Nicky is shot to shit and my girlfriend just cried herself to sleep over the pain she's in so excuse me if I'm not the most rational person right now."

"Look I know what this Potter guy did was beyond fucked up and trust me if he would have outed Rocky on TV I'd be hot too but being mad about it isn't going to fix anything so best we can do is hope your cousin can nail these assholes anyway and comfort Nicky so chill out on the couch I'll make you some tea relax on the couch."

"Thanks sis."

"No problem sis you know our motto Familia over everything." Ashley said reciting the trios' motto which was family over everything as she walked into the kitchen.

"Marina we still doing those club appearances tonight?" Raquel asked refereeing to the appearance deal the group had agreed to do both to get Marina's name more buzz in modeling industry and put some spending money in their own pockets.

"You know what yeah we're still going out a club hopping tour will let us all DE-stress from this bull shit and the 500k doesn't hurt either".

"Rina I thought these appearances were only netting us 600K"

"No Rocky its only five the club appearances are four hundred base we walk with two hundred and the video promo package deal was for 200K base we walk with one so at the end of all this we walk with 500k clear and easy the missing grand is the taxes that's what the other half of the paperwork was we just paid the taxes off the top."

"I get it now thanks you think Nicky will be up for this after everything?"

"Yeah frankly I think she'll be the one leading us she has the most stress to blow off."

"I hear that."

A few moments later Ashley emerged from the kitchen with a cup of fresh peppermint tea for Marina who gladly took it.

"Thanks Ash hopefully this brings me down a bit."

"Just sit back and fall asleep if you want we still have a few hours before we have to get ready I'll wake you up."

"Thanks I'll take this to my room I think holding Nicky will be the only thing that will bring me all the way down enough to do these appearances."

"Go ahead go unwind we'll wake you up with enough time to get ready."

"Thanks Ash I'll see you guys in while."

Marina headed off to bed hoping this nap would calm her frayed nerves while Rocky and Ashley snuggled on the couch watching TV.

Meanwhile over at Jamie and Eddie's Eddie was going through the file she had been given on Nicky's case luckily Jamie was on the couch watching Sports Center.

"Hey Eddie you've been working since you got home come put your feet up for a bit." Jamie called from the couch he wasn't aware that Eddie had assigned to Nicky's case she just came in took a quick shower and cleared space on the table and spread the file out she was putting together a profile on both Bernie and Dave she was able to gather that they often hung out at 42nd street mall and were big spenders in the area especially at night both came from very well to do families.

Eddie ran online searches on her two prime suspects and by chance came up with a video Bernie had posted to his blog just a couple hours ago so she decided to take a chance and play the video and see if she came up with anything that would help her case she made sure to plug headphones in to keep Jamie from spying on her.

"Yo its big boss Bernie stacks I'm just taking this city by storm I get dimes with ease in fact me and guy big Dave just put a beating on some bitch who turned me and the big guy Dave down now we get mad respect in the hood because we taught that dyke bitch who's boss.

"We're hoping to run into her again real soon and really give her the D and B double surprise until then I'm out."

Eddie saved the video to her laptop to show Vasquez Baez and Baker when she saw them again after which she closed the video and took off her headphones and just processed what she had just heard.

She felt discussed that anyone would talk about a female the way Bernie just did and was completely incensed that Bernie had basically just admitted that he and Dave were planning to sexually assault Nicky if they saw her again.

Eddie quickly gathered up her laptop grabbed her phone and headed off to the room to make a phone call she quickly dialed Vasquez who picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?"

"Vasquez its Janko you have a sec to talk?"

"Yeah whats up?"

"I was looking over the case file gathering up some more info on our two perps and I came across video done by Bernie basically admitting that what he and Dave were going to try and rape Nicky."

"Fuck do you have a copy of the video?"

"I do."

"Great hold on to it until I get a hold of the lieutenant Baker and Baez that may be the key to closing this case I heard from Baker the DA is working on securing an arrest warrant for Potter on obstruction charges with that video we should be able to nail Bernie and Dave who'll hopefully lead us to the third guy".

"Good call I'll see you at the squad bright and early tomorrow."

"Later Janko."

Eddie ended the call and headed back to the table to gather up her stuff and join Jamie on the couch.

After putting her files and laptop away she finally joined Jamie on the couch.

"Hey look who finally decided to join me." Jamie remarked as he gave a small peck on the cheek.

"Sorry its just this file is a bitch."

"I noticed what are you working on anyway I didn't see much of you today."

"Nothing just paper work".

"Eddie come on now give me more than that."

"Fine but all I'm allowed to say is that its a case that has to be solved ASAP."

Since when did you start working on cases?"

"Since I got drafted now I mean it Jamie I can't say anything else so just drop it okay."

"Fine I'll drop it but you know you can talk to me about anything right?"

"I know Jamie but right now all I want to do is sit here with my boyfriend and enjoy some quality time."

"I wouldn't have it any other way Eddie." Jamie coed sharing a chaste kiss with Eddie but just as their make out session started getting hotter they were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Who could that be?" Eddie asked as she pulled herself together to answer the door.

Once she opened the door she was greeted by a mail carrier.

"May I help you?"

"Yes I have a delivery for an Edit Janko."

"I'm Edit Janko."

"If you wouldn't mind signing this Ms Janko."

Eddie signed the postmen s form and was handed a large yellow envelope after which the postman continued on his way as Eddie closed the door and headed back to rejoin Jamie on the couch.

"Eddie whats in the envelope?"

"I don't know Jamie I guess we'll find out together."

Eddie tore open the envelope and retrieved the stack of papers inside.

Eddie read through the five page document and was stunned.

"Whats it say babe?"

"Apparently my uncle on my maternal uncle died and left me his entire fortune along with two trust funds and as of tomorrow I'm entitled to $300 million in cash and another ten million in a trust fund".

"Eddie that's three hundred ten million dollars are you sure this is legit?"

"Yeah it signed by my uncle Allister and his two lawyers."

"Wow so what are you going to do?"

"Well tomorrow after I go to the bank I'm going to take out some of the money celebrate with my loving boyfriend than I'm going to stash the rest."

"Alright Eddie but are you still going to work?"

"Yes I am Jamie I may be rich but I took this job to make a difference and that's what I'm going to continue to do."

"That's great Eddie so does this mean I'll be seeing society Edit?"

"No Jamie you'll still see the same Eddie you feel for I'm just going to show you the Eddie Janko way of living the society life."

Jamie was both excited and scared about this sudden turn of events in his relationship he was happy Eddie had something good happen to her as it pertained to her family but was worried about how this would affect their relationship but decided to push those fears away for now putting his trust in Eddie.

The couple watched a few more movies before heading off to sleep.

Over in Manhattan Nicky Marina Rocky and Ashley were all getting to head out to their appearances at the four rings which was a the nickname given to a chain of night clubs run by an English promoter named Wade Bisping he would be the one paying them tonight.

"Nicky are you sure you're up for this tonight?"

"Of course Marina I need this tonight after all the bull shit with Potter who I'm surprised is still on the street."

"Don't worry babe I'm sure Lily is dealing with tonight is about us turning the city upside down and making it work for us."

"If you say so babe I'm just nervous about all the paparazzi that will there what if my picture gets taken and put on some gossip magazine?"

"Don't worry I already took care of that the only photos that we'll be in are promo photos and some tabloid photos but those will be mostly for my modeling if a question about you comes up I'll handle it you just enjoy yourself and look sexy."

"Ay dios someone is trying to get laid tonight."

"Shove it Ashley like you're not going to be between Rocky's legs by the time we get back."

"Chill Rena I'm playing I'm joking but you have to admit you two need to get passed making out sooner or later."

"We will Ashley at our own pace now go pull out the car we're going to be late for the first club."

Ashley fixed her midnight makeup and followed Rocky to get the car.

"Fine I'll see you guys outside."

Once Ashley left Marina gave Nicky a once over complementing her midnight blue outfit.

"Babe you look amazing but lets gets out of here before I rip your clothes off and cost us $500k.

"Lead the way babe."

The foursome made their way into the center of Manhattan in no time flat arriving at the first leg of tour just as the doors were about to open they checked in with the bouncer and the GM and were led a VIP section which was roped off with the clubs energy drink and hookah for the crew.

"So guys here's how this goes we do a round of hookah hit the dance floor for two hours take a few pics and clear out understood?"

"Yeah we got it Rena." Ashley hollered over the loud music.

The foursome enjoyed the atmosphere mingled with a few big name designers snapped a couple of pictures for the paparazzi and three hours later left the club to much fan fair thanks to Marina.

The group made the next two stops on tour repeated their actions from the first two club but this time Nicky had attracted a small group of followers some of which got a bit handsey namely one guy who try to pick Nicky up.

"Hey beautiful what do say I take you to my hotel room and I show you a good time."

"No thanks I'm taken."

"Screw you bitch the yelled catching Nicky with a right hand knocking her down which caused Marina to knock the guy out cold with a right hand to the jaw.

"Come on Nicky lets go we have one more stop to make before we head back."

The crew hit the last spot and was hounded by photographers asking questions.

"Marina who is your mystery girl?"

"Is she your girlfriend?" were only a couple of questions that flew Marina's way during the night of course she gave them all the simple no comment and went about her night.

After making the required rounds at the last club Nicky and the crew headed off to the car trying to avoid cameras not before collecting their checks of course.

Having made it to the parking lot supposedly out camera site Nicky thought it was the perfect time to show her girlfriend some affection.

"Marina thanks for tonight I had a blast it took my mind off all the crap going on and I have to admit life as a celeb didn't seem to suck since I had you to share the experience with."

"Aw no problem baby this is our life now but I want you to know I'd trade it all away just as long as I kept you".

All four girls shared kisses with their significant other when unbeknownst to them a flash went off catching Nicky and Marina's kiss they didn't know it at the time but things were about to get hotter.

Next update will be ASAP including the aftermath from Nicky's night out plus Eddie's first gift to Jamie.
