SATURDAY AFTERNOON. RACHEL'S HOUSE.
"Mama Fina sat at her desk with her eldest granddaughter Shelby sat across from her.
"I have an assignment for you." Mama Fina said as she handed the envelope to Shelby.
"What does it entail?"
"I need a deep dig into this woman's background."
Shelby opened the envelope and read the initial basics. "Quinn and Sam's mother? Can I ask why?"
"It's come to my attention that she may be of vital necessity."
"Am I doing a clean sweep or do I need to go under?"
"If it escalates to that then so be it but for now just a clean sweep. Do not let it slip to your siblings just yet. I want facts and proof before anything."
"Alright."
"Communication?" Mama Fina asked.
"I'll communicate via email. Any discrepancies will be marked."
"Thank you."
"Anything else?"
"Yes, I have a secondary assignment but this one everyone will know about this coming week."
"What is it?"
"You have an interview in two days time. I need extra eyes on the ground." Mama Fina said as she laid a packet with all the information.
"This is your new/old identity. The targets are to be watched but not approached. You are to be hiding in plain sight. Should anything occur you are not to engage other than in a formal manner if necessary. The details of the plan are all in there. Make sure you do your research before your interview. The rest you can memorize and/or alter along the way."
"Yes, ma'am." Shelby said with a smile as she paged through just exactly what Mama Fina had planned and her interest was beyond piqued at how this would unfold.
Rachel sat at the back of the club again. She just watched Quinn's mother be dragged upstairs again. Rachel has been coming to the bar every other weekend to figure out who the mule is.
So far she has four main suspects but no solid evidence just yet but she's sure it's one of the four. Tonight would be the night she'd be following the first of them.
However; the guy seemed to not want to leave and has been waiting his turn that he paid for, for V.I.P time with Quinn's mom.
Rachel has been itching to snatch the woman up but if she does she's liable to bring the whole mission crashing down on it's head.
The brunette clenched her jaw in annoyance. She's determined to bring this whole thing home while also saving Mrs. Fabray if it's the last thing she does.
Mama Fina handed the packet over with a smile.
"This is your new assignment."
The brunette looked at the packet in confusion.
"I mean this with the utmost respect but Why this?"
"I have been informed of a certain ring leader that may have the intel Rachel needs to assist in the location of the package we've been searching for. As well as the fact that if we are to recruit Quinn and Sam then we must be willing to lend a hand."
"Who else is going?"
"Everyone."
The brunette's eyes bulged in shock.
"Everyone?"
"Yes, everyone."
"Does baby know?"
"Not yet."
"Oh wow this is definitely going to be interesting to witness."
"I believe so as well and just think of all the fun you get to have."
The brunette's eyes shined.
"What kind of fun? Like I can say whatever I want."
"More like I'm giving you free reign to be you."
The smirk that developed on the girls face was predatory.
"Oh this is going to be epic!"
"I thought you'd think so." Mama Fina said with an adoring smile. The brunette stood up to leave. "And Santana."
Santana turned to her in question.
"When I say you have free reign, I mean make it reign terror."
Santana smirked evilly. "Oh trust me I plan to."
Quinn sighed tiredly as she rocked her wailing daughter. Beth just wouldn't rest. Tomorrow was a school day and her daughter was not letting up.
She knew she'd be exhausted tomorrow and was not looking forward to what she heard down the grapevine. Apparently just because Sam took her tumble didn't mean she was off the hook.
In fact, she was to be tumbled immediately after school. She informed Sam that she needed him to leave school immediately after to pick up their siblings.
Then call Carmela and ask if she could watch them so he could come back after everyone leaves to get her out so she has time to clean herself before the kids could see her. She hates it.
Everything about the situation is so frustrating and tiring. She wishes she could fight back but there are so many of them and only one of her.
If she could she would destroy all of them. Unfortunately that would never happen. She knew if she told Rachel maybe she could help but she didn't want to bring Rachel into it.
The brunette had her own problems. The blonde sighed to herself as she rocked her wailing daughter wondering not for the first time what she had done to deserve this life.
"So has everyone been informed?" Sue asked.
"Yes, everyone but baby." Mama Fine replied.
"You didn't tell her? Why?"
"I figured I'd let the show run it's course as they say."
Sue chuckled as she shook her head affectionately kissing her wife's cheek. "You are pure evil."
"No, evil is not telling them just who would be in charge." Mama Fina said with a wicked smirk that always did Sue in.
"What are you not telling me?"
Mama Fina lifted the last packet on her desk for Sue to look through.
"I saved the best last." Fina chuckled.
Sue eyes widened as a devious smirk lifted at the corners of her lips.
"This is genius! I love this!"
"I knew you would!"
THURSDAY.
Quinn and Sam sighed tiredly as they entered the school. They had to walk all the kids to school then drop Beth at daycare before walking to their own.
It was exhausting. They hadn't had breakfast. It didn't help that they always had to carry an extra bag of clothes and toiletries for possible occurrences when they get bullied. As well as their heavy back packs.
They both headed to their lockers to put their things away.
"Hey, have you to spoke to Rachel?" Sam asked.
"No, I'm assuming she's not coming in today." Quinn replied.
She hasn't seen Rachel since Tuesday. Rachel was livid the last she saw her she found out that Quinn hadn't come to her for help Monday before they tossed her the porter potty.
Rachel had waited after school for her to call so they could hang out like they planned but Quinn never called. The blonde got an earful Tuesday morning when Sam let it slip. To say Quinn somehow feels like she's in the dog house is putting it lightly.
It is now Thursday and she wonders if the brunette is still upset with her or if she's okay at all? It's been radio silent on Rachel's end.
She doesn't want to reach out after what she heard of how Hester ruined her infiltration. She's worried if she calls she might accidentally put Rachel in a difficult situation or worse. So she's waiting for the brunette to reach out.
The two blonde's headed to their home room together then sat beside each other. Just then the over head speaker cackled to life.
"Attention students it's time for morning announcements so please put all your cellphones away and pay close attention." Principal Figgins said.
Soon the announcements were underway and no one was paying attention. That is until Figgins spoke the words that would change McKinley high history forever.
"-And last but not least as of this morning the McKinley high cheerleading and football programs is currently suspended."
Quinn and Sam's eyes bulged in shock as the room broke out in an uproar as did other classes as shouts from the halls could be heard.
"-Today we will have an assembly to discuss these changes going forward every student is to attend. Thank you. Please proceed with your day."
With that Figgins cut the announcement as if he didn't just turned McKinley high on it's axis's.
"As far as I checked three out of the four suspects aren't making any big moves. So it's likely they aren't the package handler. This guy though, may be it." Rachel said as she point a finger to the picture she laid on Mama Fina's desk.
"When are you moving in on him?" Mama Fina asked.
"Saturday night. From what I gathered he's taking a business trip out of town so I'll be gone for a few days."
"Alright, bring your departure list to Finch, I'll send him in route to Jacob. Everything should be ready for when you leave."
"Thank you... Mama Fina I need a favor."
"What is it my dear?"
"I don't know when I'll be back but if it's not too much to ask. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind putting a post up for Quinn and Sam. I usually keep surveillance on them should there be-"
"Of course, I was already going to request you have a discussion with Quinn about moving to a safer location until your return. In fact, I would like to speak to her. I would like to offer her a peace offering after I disclose some details on the matter of the tests we had run."
"Re-Really? You're going to tell them?"
"Yes, Rachel, I must be honest. Those two have taken up residence in my heart as did their siblings. I worry for their mother and I have not requested for her to be rescued because I now know if we made that move, it would put Quinn in jeopardy should they believe Judy ran away. However; I believe she can be saved. We just need to move more swiftly and be sure are steps are planned accordingly and are secured but unfortunately that time is not now. So for now the best we can do is watch over her children in her absence."
Rachel's eyes glassed pink but her face seemed emotionless.
"Thank you Mama Fina."
"I know how much they mean to you but as I've said they mean something to me too. Quinn may be stubborn with her trust for help but don't worry baby we'll wear her down in no time."
Rachel chuckled as did Mama Fina.
Quinn shut her locker and jumped in surprise before her face morphed into wary confusion. There leaning casually against the locker was Santana.
"Um... What are you doing here?" The blonde asked looking back and forth.
After what Hester pulled, she was not about to trust Rachel's family.
"What does it look like? I'm here for you." Santana said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" Quinn said as her body coiled ready to run or fight, at this point she wasn't sure. It was only third period and she had already had her morning slushie facial.
Santana pushed off from the locker. "Relax Q, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here because, well, you look like you could use a friend."
Quinn furrowed her brow, still not fully trusting her. The girl had been a douchebag to her. "A friend? So we're just going to pretend you didn't randomly start an argument with me at Rachel's house then proceeded to shove me?"
"That's how I make friends." Santana said with a shrug of her shoulder and a casual manner sigh.
Quinn scoffed. "Are you insane like Hester?"
"Maybe Rachel didn't explain how I operate. I only speak bitch and you have bitch written all over you. I had to make sure I was right about you. I can't have a coward as my friend, they're liable to run in a fight then back me up."
"Are you being serious right now?" Just then the bell rung. "Look I don't know what's going on but honestly after the crazy crap Hester pulled, I'm in no way shape or form going to trust anything you say right about now. So I'm going to head to my next class before I'm late."
"No problem, I understand but make no mistake, when I want you as my friend no does not mean no to me." With that Santana turned on her heel and sauntered off.
Sam was at his locker the warning bell just sounded. He had been slushied on his way to his next class and needed to head to the bathroom to change. Just as he turned to head there he bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" He rushed out then his eyes bulged at the sight of the guy from Rachel's house.
"Hey no problem dude, relax." Spencer said with a chuckled.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sam asked confused.
"Oh didn't you hear? I just transferred in."
Spencer smirked as a myriad of emotions swirled in Sam's eyes.
Sam could tell just by the expensive clothes and charming good lucks this kid Spencer was going to immediately be popular.
Which means he will soon be torturing Sam with the rest of them. It didn't help that they already had a little spat at Rachel's house. Now he'll definitely be paying the consequences for what he said.
"Well... good luck."
With that Sam rushed passed Spencer with Spencer smirking after him. Sam shut his eyes and took a deep breath as his anxiety kicked in. Unbeknownst to him, he had nothing to worry about.
Judy sighed tiredly as she trudge up the stairs to the ranch's dormitory where all the prostitute's and strippers had to stay until they are released to recuperate for however many days they are allowed to.
Unfortunately for her it seemed she wasn't allowed any. It has now been a month since the day she left Sam on that couch with a busted lip and Quinn came home in clothing she knows she could never afford to buy her daughter in her entire lifetime.
As she went through her motions of removing her make up then showering, she thought about her children more and how it seemed she'd never be able to save them.
The blonde climb into bed and stared at the ceiling until the first drop fell from her eyes, one after another until she curled in on her self as a sob escaped her throat.
She wanted it to end, all of it. She hates her husband with every fiber of her being. If she could she'd kill him herself because he ruined not only her life but the life of her kids.
It hurts, it hurts so damn much and everything is so out of control she feels like she doesn't know her ups from her downs.
She wants her children and without them she feels like she can't breathe. It doesn't help that she feels her body becoming addicted to the drugs her clients force her to take when they want her to party with them. All she can think is 'God when will this ever end?!'
Quinn and Sam took a seat next to each other in their shared French class. They were just getting their things ready when both their heads snapped up at the familiar voice that accompanied the clicking of heels that entered the room.
"Good morning class, I am your new French teacher Ms. Corcoran." Shelby said as she wrote her name on the board.
"Hot damn! You can French me whenever you want." A jock said laughing as he high fived his friend.
'Whack!'
Every student jumped out of their skin when Shelby slammed a long ruler down on the boys desk. Her eyes dangerously feral and her voice came out dark and low as she spoke.
"I'm only going to say this once and once only so listen closely. I am not to be interrupted nor am I to be disrespected. I will get you expelled for sexual harassment against a teacher and ruin your high school credibility to the point that no college would even consider you not even a community college would take a glance! That goes for all of you! Don't fuck with me! and if you think calling mommy and daddy is going to help you then your all as stupid as you look because by the time I'm finished with them you'll be living in a box on the side of the road! Do I make myself clear?!"
All the kids nodded but jumped out their skin again when she raised her voice.
"DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!
"YES!"
"YES WHO?!"
All the students looked around confused other than Sam and Quinn.
"Yes ma'am." Quinn said knowingly.
Shelby smiled this gorgeous thing that didn't help the boys stop thinking she's hot.
"Thank you, Quinn." Shelby replied then raised an eyebrow at the rest of the class with a scowl.
"YES MA'AM!" They replied simultaneously.
"Good. Now let's proceed." Shelby turned to the board and began her lesson.
Sam and Quinn looked at each other with wide eyes before smiles slowly began forming on their confused faces and they did their best to hold in their laughter.
"Sue it's so good to see!"
"Shannon, it's been too long. How's everything been working out for you at McKinley?"
"Just as good as you assured. So I just got word from Ophelia about the mission. I got to tell you when I heard what she's planning, I laughed as hard as a hyena on steroids'. They won't know what hit'em."
"Trust me, it's going to be a blood bath."
The two women chuckled together as they began making their way into the building.
Sam was gathering his books for his next class when he was roughly slammed into his locker. He grunted in pain. Just as he turned around he was shoved again.
Stood before him was Artie and his lackey.
"Hey princess, how was your tumble last week." Artie smirked darkly. "Taste anything good?"
Sam clenched his jaw as the hallway burst with laughter.
"What? You got something to say?" Artie taunted cupping his ear in a mocking manner.
Sam's eyes glanced back and forth feeling embarrassment and anger swirling through his chest.
"No." Sam said quietly with his eyes casting to the ground.
"What's that? I can't hear you."
"Come on, man, I just want to go to class."
Artie narrowed his eyes. He shoved Sam against the lockers than got in his face.
"You go to class when I say you go to class." He growled out.
Than he slapped Sam causing everyone to laugh.
"Got that princess?"
Sam tried to move pass him but Artie shoved him again. When Artie lifted his hand to slap Sam again, he was roughly shoved from the side.
"What the fuck!" Artie turned in the direction of the person who shoved him but before anything else could be done his head whipped to the right so viciously by a solid punch that his body followed as it banged against the locker. The hall died in silent shock.
"You're in my way, did you get that princess?" Spencer said smirking as he mocked him.
Artie stumbled to his feet with his lackey helping him up.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?! Do you know who I am?!"
"Don't care actually. Now normally I wouldn't be so forward but you see you're messing with my boy Sam here and anyone who messes with my bestfriend is fucking with me."
Sam's eyes bulged as did everyone else's in the hall.
Artie laughed. "You're friend? You're friends with this loser? I guess you must be a loser too and seeing as you are, how about I show you how we welcome loser's." Artie replied stepping forward.
"If he's a loser than I'm a bigger one." A voice spoke up causing Artie and his Lackey to slightly jump in surprise.
David walked around Artie stone faced towering over them as he stood to Sam's right as Spencer was stood to Sam's left.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I wouldn't worry about that. What you should be worried about is stepping out of line." Michael Chang spoke up as he walked up just behind Sam being taller than him.
Sam was wide eyed as boy after boy stood around him, all of Rachel's male siblings.
It was Spencer, David, Mike, Blaine, Ryder, Sebastian, Joe, Rory, Jesse, and Jake.
Artie gulped but didn't want to lose face.
"This isn't over." He gritted out before walking off.
Sam turned around warily. "Um... Thanks."
"No problem bro. Now come on or we'll be late to class." Spencer said as he clapped him on the back. The entire group of boys surrounding him as they walked down the hall, everyone jumping out of their way.
Sam was confused and worried for what level of an ass kicking he'd get for this. Though he had to admit to himself that though Quinn was the one with him when he was being bullied and she tried to help stop it, she couldn't do anything but this time he felt safe and couldn't help but smile in disbelief.
Rachel's family wasn't so bad.
Quinn was walking to her next class when she was suddenly surrounded by cheerios. Kate Livingston was dead center with a slushie in her hand.
"Hey easy lay, it's almost lunch hour so you know what that means."
Quinn shut her eyes instantly. As the entire hallway waited in anticipation.
'Splash!'
An incredulous squeal resounded but it wasn't from Quinn. The entire hallway stared in silent disbelief.
"There you go, you looked a little thirsty." Santana said with a devious smirk.
Quinn's eyes were wide in disbelief as she stared at the side of Santana's head.
"You bitch!"
"Yes, that's me but my names Santana and you should be sure to remember that."
"I'll kill you!" Kate replied as she rushed forward to attack but Santana side stepped the girl then tripped her causing her to fall flat on her face.
Laughter rung out all around the slushied brunette. Her face was red as she stood up and charged again only for Santana to do it again causing Kate to slam in to the lockers.
"You seem a little uncoordinated are you sure you should be head cheerio. Maybe you should learn your place treasure trail." Santana said.
The entire hallway burst in laughter.
"I swear you're-"
"I don't think you're in a position to be making threats." Mercedes said as she walked up to stand beside Quinn. Followed closely by Kitty.
"And if you think she's bad then you really don't want to get to know me." Hester said causing Quinn to startle in surprise at the sight of the girl. She hadn't seen her since the altercation.
"Rachel? I don't understand-why are you defending this whore?!" Kate said in confused anger. "She's nothing but a loser!"
"Oh right, my apologies I forgot. I'm not Rachel, I'm her twin sister." Gasps were heard all around as whispers began to spread. "My names Hester and you should know I'm clinically a diagnosed psychopath so be warned. It's so nice to meet you though." Hester said with a blinding smile but her eyes...
Her eyes were sinister.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
"You have no idea what you've just done! I'm Kate Livi-"
Santana rolled her eyes. "Blah, blah, blah whatever Cary-"
"It's Kate!-"
"You see you and your little spice girl group could have been in the clear but you see you just messed with my girl Q and no one fucks with my bestfriend so now you best stay on alert. Because your on the clock bitch and midnight is coming." Santana's eyes took in the crowd then she raised her voice.
"THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU! ANYONE AND MEAN ANYONE TRIES TO FUCK WITH MY BESTFRIEND, I DON'T CARE WHO YOU SUPPOSEDLY ARE! I'LL ENDS YOU!"
Santana threw her arm over Quinn's shoulder with a smile. "Let's go Q, I wants to get my grub on."
Quinn. was. floored!
