Chapter 10: The attempted kidnapping and the date.
Last time: "Girls went shopping and your mum wants us to eat a snack. Mmm I say would you like pizza Taylor?" John asked the teen.
"Pizza it is." Taylor responded he was craving for pizza the other night instead they had Chinese.
The boys ate pizza and Taylor was engross in some game on his new Xbox 360. John took the time to see the cloths Joss had picked out for him. It was the Armani suit black jacket and black pants with Royal blue button down dress shirt. He was happy with Joss's choice.
Now on with the bloody story
The elevator came and the loaded in. Joss had found the directory and pressed the floor number for the dress department. She was still hoping that at the Sale's Associate Evie was still on shift.
"So, Joss whats the credit limit on that card GodFather Finch gave you?" Lauren asked, she heard the last part of the conversation between John and Joss.
"Not telling you sweet heart. But you can get what ever you like but I have a little surprise for you when we get up stairs." Joss said one of Laurens eye brows rose up. Joss just chuckled 'father like daughter' she thought to her self.
"So, your telling a 14 year teenager she can get what ever she likes. No matter what the cost was." Lauren said and her face just lite up like it was Christmas Day.
Joey the body-guard was wondering who this guy Finch was and why Lauren is so important to everyone in her life. And he was determined to protect the teen knowing who her father is, He didn't want to be on John's bad side.
They got up to the dress department Joey, nodded to Joss and she motion Lauren to stay in the elevator with Shaw. Shaw grabbed the teen's shoulder to keep her in the elevator. Lauren shot her a look 'you can't stop me'. Shaw mouth 'Yes I can.' With the same glare that her dad has. Lauren stayed behind. She didn't want to see how well Shaw can fight not just yet.
"All Clear." Joss said motioning for them to come out. Shaw hit the emergcie breaks and the Elevator came back to life, the doors shut behind Lauren and Shaw. Joss saw the look on Lauren's face.
"Minnie me, didn't want to wait for the all clear." Shaw said and Lauren bumped in to her on purpose. "Your lucky your dad is Reese, he'll kill me if I hit you." She said to pint size.
"Yeah well you don't have to be a bitch about it." Lauren didn't like Shaw. She hated her and Joss can feel that. Kids always has a six sense when it came to adults and Lauren sense about Shaw was screaming this woman is bad.
Joss is protective and wants Lauren to be safe. She'll talk to her later about her feelings towards Shaw. "Language young lady." Joss said as the pint size walked in front of her.
Joey stepped in front of Lauren. "Stick to me and Joss and you'll stay safe." Joey gave her the 'try me' look. Lauren copied it and kept her mouth shut for now. Joss stepped next to her and pointed to where they needed to go.
"Shaw stay at the elevator with the guards." Joss ordered Shaw. Shaw just shrugged her shoulders and stand guard. Shaw didn't like mini me and Mini me didn't like her. But not for the reason she thinks.
Joss and Lauren with Joey went to the counter where Evie' the sales Associate was waiting for them.
"I'm Joss, I put two dresses on hold earlier today." Joss said eying the name tag same girl she talked to was still there.
"Ahh yes, hold on a sec and let me grab them for ya." Evie said going back towards the fitting room. She went in to the holding place and grab the two dresses that she had put on hold. Joss and Lauren was waiting as Evie brought the two dresses out to them. Lauren's reaction was priceless.
"Really, Joss?" Lauren asked she was wondering if the blue dress with the baby blue sash was her Quinceanera dress.
"Yes, Lauren go try it on." Joss said watching the teen go to the fitting rooms. Joey followed her there to keep her safe.
A few moments later Lauren came out with Joey escorting her over to Joss. Joss jaw dropped Lauren was truly beautiful in the dress. 'I did good' Joss thought. She walked over to the teen to help fix a few things.
"So, how do I look." Lauren asked was wondering why no one said anything. But she saw Joey's reaction and saw Joss's reaction. Shaw's reaction was priceless.
"John would be proud to be your father Lauren. Now we just need to find your date for the Quinceanera." Joss said, she knew who would be perfect but convincing John would be the hard part.
Lauren was brought back to fitting room to change back to her cloths and carefully handled her dress. She walked back toward Joss with Joey trailing her. Joss and Lauren paid for the dress so Evie can get the commission. They went shopping for some more items. Lauren got a new black Skull Candy Backpack with the Hesh 2. She also got eight pairs of Sliver Jeans and a lot of tank and vneck t shirts. Joss noticed Lauren movements around herself, Shaw and Joey. She felt like Lauren was more comfortable with Joey over Shaw. Joss made sure to grab John and Taylor some items.
Joss had decided to stop by the near by Victoria Secret store. Where she picked up a few items for herself and for John. Lauren went straight to the Pink! Section of the store, she picked out a few more boyfriend sweets, razor back tank tops, boyfriend crops, and six hoodies Joss thought the teen would get more then that but she realized Lauren isn't really girly. Joey like most guys stayed out side, he carefully watched Shaw. He picked up that Lauren didn't like the women one bit.
"Thank you for shopping at Victoria Secret." Erica said to the trio. Lauren was still not up to talking in front of Shaw about her feelings. Understandable to Joss. They load into there separate cars Joey decided to ride with Shaw. He sensed that Joss wanted to talk to Lauren alone.
"Thank you, for the dress. I mean you didn't have to buy me everything." Lauren said blushing.
"Don't worry about it, your unofficial godfather gave me a new credit card that has unlimited credit. Besides you needed this today." Joss said she got confirmation when she saw Lauren smiled a bit.
"Thanks, but really do Shaw have to be the one to watch me and Taylor why can't Fusco and Joey?" Lauren said changing the subject. She was like John in so many ways. She didn't like to talk about her feelings a whole lot.
"Yes, Lauren, your father and I want you and Taylor to be safe. There's a lot of people who wants John dead. Who wants me dead for helping him. They will do everything to get to us." Joss said hoping that will get the teen to co-operate with Shaw. "Why do you hate Shaw so much?"
"I just don't like other people around my dad." Lauren said she really wanted to say 'Shaw touches my dad, she's a dead woman. Cause you and my dad are the ones for each other.'
"She's been helpful with our cause and trust me, your dad isn't her type." Joss said picking up on what Lauren really meant.
"Good, cause I kinda want you and my dad together." Lauren said she wanted them to get married so Joss can become her mom.
Joss would have to make sure Zoe wouldn't be a problem between her and John. Also she didn't want the pint size to pick a fight with Zoe. Joss wanted to drive to the store to pick up some food for the teens. Lauren open up the door to find Joey standing there. She liked him and not in away she should right now. They walked to the store not knowing someone was watching them, waiting to try to take Lauren again.
"Knowing Taylor, we would need to get some more pizza if John offered that as a snack." Joss said Lauren smiled at that. Taylor had the relationship with her dad that she would want.
"Lets make sure there lost of Cheese Pizza then." Lauren said she felt something was off here the store but didn't know what it was. She felt Joey tense up as well as Joss. Shaw was not to far from them. Joss and Joey didn't say much to each other but more mind reading. Lauren was wondering what the hell was going on.
"Lauren why don't you get some pop a couple of lanes over there." Joss said pointing where the pop section was. Lauren nodded but didn't catch Joss mouth to Joey 'watch her back'. Joss and Shaw had a conversation.
"Yeah, I see them too. Wan't to call Biggie here?" Shaw asked Joss softly laughed at her nick name for John.
"Not yet, lets continue shopping if they try anything, get her out of here with Joey." Joss replied she wanted to make sure Lauren was safe over her safety.
"I'll protect her with my life Joss." Shaw said, she knew the kid didn't like her but she will protect her.
"Good." Joss and Shaw walked over to the pop section to grab Lauren and Joey. They continue to shop in the grocery store.
Two men were eyeing the teen, waiting for a operutinity to grab her. They saw it when Joss was checking out. They grabbed the teen, what they wasn't expecting was the teen to start screaming a high pitch scream to her protector Joey.
"Joey, Joss." Lauren screamed loudly. Shaw ran over to the pint size teen.
"Let her go, and I wont kill you." Shaw said with her gun trained on the two men. Joss and Joey turned to see Lauren with a gun to her head.
"Let us grab her and we wont kill you." One of the men said Lauren was fighting to break free.
"Stay still Bitch." The other guy said. That hit a nerve with the trio who was protecting her.
"Do you have any clue to whose daughter this is." Joss said pressing number one on her cell phone. She can see John panicing calling Fusco to watch Taylor as he took his bike here.
"The man in the suits." The taller guy said. They knew whose daughter she was and they wanted the suit to come.
John was pissed beyond pissed. Two people he loves the most in the world are in danger. One bein held hostage. He drove his bike as fast has he could take it. Once to Joss's place he shut the engine off and burst through the grocery store.
"You might wanna get your hands of my daughter" John said with a mincing voice. The one where it even scared Shaw. Joey's gun was still trained on the person who had Lauren. He wasn't about to drop or move with out Johns permission.
Little movements that John made to the team including Joey. He got the hint and the clue once Lauren was free take his bike back to his loft. Was Joey's main Duity and one last request from John was to not play hero in this.
John shot the man who was holding Lauren in the knees. Once free Lauren ran to her protectors. John quickly hugged her and nodded for Joey to take her out of there. Lauren was reluctant into going but she knew if she stayed she would be a distraction.
Joey ushered Lauren out to the bike. He got on pulling Lauren behind him. He handed her father's helmet to her and she put it on.
"Hold on tight" Joey said as Lauren gripped him tighter. "Don't look back." he said he didn't want Lauren watching her father kill the people who just threaten her life. Lauren was tempted to look back but she didn't. A part of her doesn't want to see 'Killer John'.
Meanwhile back at the grocery store the two men was almost beaten to death by Shaw and John. Joss held back to let John get his frustration out. He wanted answers to why someone would go after Lauren and not just get him.
"Who sent you?" John asked knowing that they would die before saying a damn thing.
"We tell you our families are dead." one of the attackers said.
"Your dead either way, you touched my daughter that was one mistake to many. Now tell me who sent you." John said one more time ignoring anyone even Joss. He was over this shit. He needs to send a message to everyone that was after him. LAUREN WAS DEFINITLY OFF LIMITS. He needs that message sent loud and clear.
"Russians, Peter Yogorov." With that answer from the guy who was holding on to Lauren ten minutes ago. John shot him in the knee caps a few more times.
"Tell Peter, He so much comes after my family including Dective Carters family . I will burn him to the ground." John said after getting up from kneeling over the guy who worked for Peter. He turned to Shaw who was starting walk away. She sensed that the two need to talk.
"Was that really nesseary John? Shooting him a few more times inthe knee cap is over kill." Joss said the look she got says he didn't care. Someone came after Lauren again. Almost killed her and me. Joss thought.
"Thanks for calling me. And yes, word need to get out She's off-limits and to come directly at me if they want me." John said scanning for any injuries Joss might have.
"You can't always protect people. Lauren will hate you if you try to protect her all her life." Joss said she knew she hit a nerve by his reaction.
"I know, but I can die trying." He paused for a second. "Maybe we shouldn't go on this date tonight." John said not caring who was around.
"We're going, we've wanted this too long John. Besides our kids will be fine, right Shaw?" Joss turned to Shaw.
"Nothing will get to Taylor or Lauren tonight." Shaw confirmed. They all walked to their cars outside, and got in. They drove to the loft to an argument between Joey and Lauren.
"Let me go back dude. We don't know whats going on?" Lauren said she wanted to know if everyone is okay even Shaw.
"Lauren, your father gave me orders and I tend on living thank you." Joey said he knew she wanted to see her family but no way in hell was he going to loose his life.
"Bullshit Joey, Let me go." Lauren said pushing Joey out of her way to the door. At that moment John with Joss and Shaw walked in. Lauren ran to her father. John hugged her tightly and looked her over for injuries.
"Thank you for keeping her here, and safe Joey. You'll stay with Shaw and Fusco tonight. Nothing I mean nothing is to get to her. Do you understand me?" John said in the voice that had everyone trembling.
"Understood John." Joey said with a swift nod. The apartment building Finch owns has several apartments for there safe houses. Joey decided to take the apartment on the third floor Finch had already moved some of his things over.
"Are you okay Lauren?" John asked the guy who grabbed her left a bruise on her arm and twisted it a bit.
"My arm hurts like a bitch but I'll live. Its nothing I can't handle. I took Tae kwon do." Lauren said she took Tae Kwon Do according to the background she was fighting to get free from the bastard who had her.
"Shaw, check her out and make sure there's no other injuries. Joss we need to talk." John said walking toward their bedroom. Joss followed giving Lauren a a quick hug.
"Hurt her Shaw, I'll put a bullet in your head." Joss said without blinking. Joss couldn't see John's reaction to her threat but it was priceless.
"I wont. Trust me I'm more scared of Tall dark and Stormy." Shaw said leading Lauren to the stool.
"Hey, I'm fine." Laruen said as Shaw began to check her out.
"Yeah, we'll untill I check you out. Let me be the judge of that Minnie me." Shaw replied she continue to check Lauren out and found that she is fine.
"See told ya." Lauren said hopping off the Stool.
"Brat. I still want you to ice it though." Shaw said heading to the fridge to grab the ice and tossing it over to her.
"Fine whatever." Lauren got up and headed to the couch. She grabbed the remote and starting to surf the channels.
Soon as Joss and John enter their bedroom, he pulled her in for a kiss. Pouring every emotion into the kiss. He kissed her long, and soft, grabbing everybody part he can get his hands on. Joss wasn't letting him go easily. She wrapped her hands around his neck pulling him closer than they are. Neither wants to stop kissing. But when breathing became a problem they relunlty let go of each other.
"I need you and Taylor to move in here." John said Joss knows why someone was after him and using his family as away to get to him.
"I'll have to get the rest of my things from my apartment." Joss said knowing Finch had already done so.
"Finch took care of it. Are you sure you want to go out tonight after what happened." John asked he didn't want to show people Joss and Lauren along with Taylor means everything to him. His reason for living.
Joss pull him down for a soft kiss. "Yes handsome. We've planned this to long for some thugs to take tonight from us. I'll be getting ready upstairs in Shaw's apartment." She kissed him again. As she was walking away John pulled her back to him. He kissed her again, long and softly. "See you in a little bit" He said watching her walk away.
It takes the two about thirty minutes to get ready. Lauren helps her dad tie the tie, she learned on YouTube. He learns as they make small talk. Joss makes her way down stairs wearing the purple dress that cost her 800 dollars. Along with some purple Micheal Kors shoes. She opens up the loft door and everyone turns to face her. John's mouth drops as he couldn't find the words to say. She was breath takingly beautiful. Lauren couldn't stop smiling at her feature step mum.
She went over to Joss and hugged her. "Dads action says your beautiful." Lauren said finally breaking the silince.
"I think your right sweetheart. You two behave yourself for Shaw, Fusco and Joey. Lauren don't disappear soon as we leave." Joss said with Johns approval. John knows Lauren has a good relationship with Joss and knows that she trusts her.
John took Joss's hand and lead her to the door, Joey took his cue and followed them to locked the place up.
"Keep her safe." John said to Joey. He nodded confirming he would keep Lauren safe tonight and for the rest of her life. Shaw took this time to lock up the rest of the place to make sure no one can get in but they can get out.
"We'll be back before midnight. It's Friday so they can stay up as much as they want to." Joss said, getting a curt nod from Joey.
John lead her out of the most protected building in New York City. Lauren watch her dad and feature mum get in to a Lamborghini. Finch never gave them the address till they got into the car. It was one of his restaurants that he owned. Neighter Joss or John knew that he owned one of the most talked about five stared restaurants in New York.
They drove for a bout an hour to get there. John stopped the car and let the valet take it. He held his hand out to Joss and she took it gladly. They walked in to the restaurant where they were greeted by Stacey.
"Hi, how can I help you?" Stacey asked the two couple.
"We have reservations under Waren." John said and waited for Stacey to confirm it. And walked the couple over their private table. On the way there they got stopped by Zoe who was surprisingly shocked to see them there. She thinks that there on a case but they're not.
They made small talk, talking about everything from Taylor and Lauren to what they want from each other. When the waitress came with their food Joss felt her starring John down like she wanted him. Joss took Johns hands in to hers letting the waitress know that he was off-limits.
When the waitress didn't take the hint John leaned in to kiss Joss the second time she came by. She finally got the hint that he was not on the market. He was officially taken and in love.
Zoey Morgan had just witness the kiss and decided to drop by and say hi.
"Well, well are you guys on a case?" Zoe asked hoping that what she saw was a fluke and that they are on a case.
"No we're not Zoe, we're on our first date." John said giving her 'don't fuck with us' look tonight.
Meanwhile Minnie me Lauren was watching everything unfold at home. Some how Lauren hacked in to the restaurants cameras. She didn't like this Zoe person one bit. She decided to call Joss.
"Carter." Joss answered the phone
"Hey, was wondering who the bitch is?" Lauren asked Joss was shocked that Lauren asked that.
"Her name is Zoe, how can you see us?" Joss asked Lauren.
"You guys have your tricks and i have mines." Lauren said shooting daggers at Zoe as if she was there.
"Is that Lauren?" John asked wondering how his daughter manage to hack in to Finch's cameras.
"Yes, she's playing spy right now." Joss said giving a smirk to John letting him know Zoe needs to keep to her self. If she knows what's good for her.
"Who's Lauren?" Zoe asked wondering who this Lauren person is and why John seems too happy when her name is mentioned.
"She's my daughter." John said giving Zoe some time to process what he just said.
"Well enjoy your date, mum, oh let the Zoe person know i hate her." Lauren said hanging up on the not so shocked Joss. Joss hated Zoe aswell.
"Lauren says hi and wants us home soon as possible." Joss said giving the real reason why Lauren wanted them home.
"Let me guess Minnie me can see me right now and she doesn't like me? I'll let you guys go and finish your date. Have a nice life you two." Zoe asked John gave her the shocked look wondering how she picked up on that.
They finished their first course of the dinner and continue to talk about anything that came to mind.
"We need to keep Lauren on her usual scheduled like Hockey in the winter, soft ball in the summer and Tae Kwon Do all year-long." Joss said letting John think about what was going to be a busy year for his daughter.
"When will she have time to socialize?" John asked he was wondering that, he doesn't get parenting yet but Joss will show him the right and wrong way of doing so.
"Lauren will be soicializing during her activities. John having her in these activities will help her grow and mature into a beautiful young woman. Kim would want her to contniue these activities." Joss explained a little more.
They continue to small talk, and talked about marriage. They wanted to get married but not too fast and not to lait. Lauren in the mean time did a background check on Zoe and found out where she lived. She made a little note to find her and give her the news that her father is off limits.
John and Joss had a chocolate moose that was to die for after there five coarse meal. He paid for dinner and walked them out to the valet parking. The Valet person got their car and they drove off after getting settled in.
Meanwhile at the loft Lauren and Taylor decided to order Chinese for the night. Lauren got her usual Orange chicken, Dumplings and white rice. Taylor decided on the chow maine. After they put in Scream movies and watched the entire collection. By time John and Joss got home the teens were asleep on the couch. Joss woke Taylor up and got him to his room and John picked up Lauren and brought the teen to her room.
Joss beat John to the bedroom where she had a chance to change into a lace baby purple baby doll with a matching lace boy short style underwear. When John walked in he was awestruck at her beauty. He slowly made his way over to her drinking her in. He crawled on to the bed caressing her body from toes to her head making sure he touched every part of her body. Before kissing her softly.
The kiss left her breathless once again. He pulled his shirt off revealing his nice physique even if he had scares from his past and present she was glad that she was now the one who is able to touch them. He slowly moved his hands up her inner thigh making her moan out loud. He was grateful that his bedroom was made sound proof. They took their time making love all night learning each scar on each others body.
