"Hey mom!" Quinn said walking into her parents house right as she received a text from Jack.

Quinn I need a favor.

She looked at the message rolling her eyes before figuring she should just call him because whenever he asked for a favor it was usually a big one.

"What kind of favor?" She asked as soon as he answered.

"If someone comes to you to represent them in a divorce and custody matter regarding a woman named Mercedes I need you to turn it down."

"Who would be the client and why would I need to turn it down?" Quinn asked, pulling out a pen and pad to write everything down. It was a habit that she developed in law school so that she always knew details later on.

"Just if the name Mercedes Jones is anywhere on the document, turn it down and… I need you to represent Mercedes." Jack said knowing he was pushing it but if Mercedes didn't want to ask for help then she was going to receive it.

"Jack, is this Mercedes woman in some type of trouble?" Quinn asked not understanding why her brother was being so cryptic about everything.

"No and yes… at least not yet. Just will you do this for me?"

"Ugh, I'll consider not taking it but I'm going to need to speak with her so that I know what I'm up against."

"Umm that can be arranged also I need you to hire her as your secretary. Okay bye Quinn I love you see you tomorrow!" Jack said quickly before hanging up not giving her a chance to respond.

"I'm going to beat him." Quinn said to herself before shooting her assistant a message to get a welcome packet ready for a new secretary.

"Hey sweetheart." Mary asked her daughter, giving her a hug.

"I came to see if you wanted to go to lunch but your lovely son just derailed those plans. Do you know anyone by the name Mercedes?" Quinn replied.

"Wasn't that his tutor in college? Pretty little thing but he hasn't talked about her in a while. Why?"

"Jack wants me to give her a job and to represent her but I don't know what for or why he's being so damn cryptic about it either."

"Well Jack does have a tendency to beat around the bush but it must be important if he's asking for you to step in, maybe you should consider it." Mary suggested and Quinn just nodded.

"Well tell daddy I said hey and that I love him, I'll be back with Beth and Nolan this weekend." Quinn said giving her mother a hug before walking out and making a phone call to see what she could dig up on this mystery person.


"Sir, your sister is on line one." Sam's assistant Kurt buzzed.

"Thanks Kurt." Sam replied before picking up the phone.

"Hey Q what's up?"

"What has Jack done and why does he need my help?"

"Why are you assuming I would know that he's done something?" Sam questioned trying to see if this was some sort of trap.

"Because he would come to you first if he needed to keep a secret. Now tell me who Mercedes is and why he wants me to help her." Quinn answered, rolling her eyes.

"I don't know who that is or why Jack wants you to help her. Why didn't you just ask him?"

"I did but he was being Jack about and is using his one favor he has left with me to make whatever he's planning to happen."

"Oh wow. Well sorry Q I don't know anything… wait, that's a lie." Sam replied, biting his lip nervously.

"Okay what is it?"

"You have to promise not to tell Penny…"

"Oh goodness gracious just tell me!"

"He said he had some business at the beach house and that if anyone asked he was with me for a few hours and to tell Penny that if she asked… you don't think he's having an affair do you?"

"Jack? No… I mean he wouldn't would he?" Quinn asked before growing angry because he knew that was the one place Penny never went after they married and she knew for a fact that if you wanted to cheat then that's the best to go because I was off the grid.

"Quinn?"

"Huh? What'd you say?"

"I said maybe we should just ask him about the Mercedes woman."

"Oh I plan to do just that." She said, hanging up without saying goodbye.

Sam just stared at the phone before hanging up and letting out a heavy breath, had he known what Jack was up to he would've stopped him but his brother was always the helpful one. He looked at his watch figuring he could beat Quinn before her walking in on their brother having some crazy affair with a woman.

He jumped up and grabbed his things and quickly walked out of his office, only stopping long enough to tell Kurt to lock up early for him and that he'd see him tomorrow.

Sam wasn't entirely sure what he was going to say to his brother but he could tell by the tone in his sister's voice that she wasn't too happy with him asking her to help out his mistress. He slammed his hand on the steering wheel because he thought Jack and Penny were stronger than this, hell they had two boys and seemed very much in love.

One thing his family prided themselves on was their loyalty to the ones they loved most and no one cheated ever. If there was a problem you worked through it and you came out stronger because of it, now he was having to stop his brother from making a big mistake.

He checked the time and assuming that Quinn was coming from her office he would be getting there exactly forty-five minutes before her but if he was lucky she would be coming from their parents and that would give him an hour of leeway to get Jack out and erase any proof that his mistress was there.


Sam pulled up smiling because he didn't see Jack's car nor Quinn's but that didn't mean he hadn't parked in the garage, so he got out and went to go check inside to make sure everything was just in their heads. He used his key to open the door and was relieved to see no sight of Jack or anyone for that matter, he looked around not really seeing anything out of place and decided Jack was just being weird before he spotted the sandals. They were women's sandals and he could tell they didn't belong to any of the women in his family.

"Fuck." Sam said to his self before looking around in the rooms not seeing anything out of place before finally checking the guest room where he saw a beautiful woman and a small boy asleep in the bed. Sam stood there completely unsure about what to do because the alarm wasn't set and there were no broken windows so she had to be the woman Quinn asked about but she never said anything about a kid.

He sighed knowing Quinn would still be coming this way and she wasn't going to be nice about it especially if she thought she was his mistress. Sam wasn't sure why but the moment he laid eyes on her snuggled up to the little boy he knew she wasn't his mistress, he could just feel it and he decided he was going to spare her being embarrassed or humiliated by his sister. He slowly walked into the room hoping like hell she wouldn't attack him or think he was trying to harm her or the little boy.

"Excuse me." He said more softly than intended before lightly tapping her on the arm holding his breath when she shifted slightly but didn't wake.

"Excuse me ma'am." He said a little louder this time and she slowly opened her eyes looking at him. Surprisingly she didn't scream or look remotely scared she just looked at him before looking down at the little boy then back at Sam with a small smile.

"You must be Jackie's brother." She said softly and Sam couldn't help but love how her raspy voice sounded.

"Yea… Sam, Sam I am and I do not like green eggs and ham." Sam said blushing because he hadn't said that in years. She just smirked letting out a small giggle.

"Would you like them here or there?" She teased and he couldn't help smiling at her.

"I would not like them here or there, you a Seuss fan?"

"Kinda have to be with this one here." She said, nodding at her son.

"I didn't mean to disrupt your sleep but my sister is on her way over here and she's… well she's going to ask you if you're my brother's mistress." Sam said bluntly, noticing her furrowed her brows before she giggled again.

"Eww, Jackie? He's married besides I don't have time to be a mistress." She said sitting up looking at her watch before getting up and walking over to the dresser and grabbing a little brown bag, she pulled out a needle and a vile of something.

"Umm…" Sam started but stopped when she just shot him a half smile.

"He's diabetic and this is usually the only way I can get him without too much fuss." She explained before turning her son slightly and injecting it into his thigh. She quickly cleaned up everything before the boy began to stir and she wrapped her arms around him as he started to wail.

"I know, I know. Mommy's sorry." She said soothing him back to sleep before laying him back down and letting out a soft sigh.

"He's your son?" Sam asked thinking she was younger because of her looks.

"Mhm, so your sister thinks I'm having an affair with Jack?" She asked and he could tell she didn't want to talk anymore about herself or her son.

"Yes but it's because Jack-"

"Asked her to help me but didn't say why?" She finished.

"Yeah."

"Don't worry your bother is safe at least from me, I have my own issues I don't need to add any to anyone else's." She replied looking at him amused which caused him to shoot her a confused look.

"What?" He asked shifting nervously.

"You look like him when you make that face." She answered.

"How well do you know my brother?"

"I-"

"Oh so there is another woman?" They heard from behind them and Sam couldn't help but groan.

"Wait Q before you start-"

"Look I don't know who you are or why you're choosing to break up my brother's marriage but you better believe I will do everything in my power if Penny files for divorce to make you accountable." Quinn interrupted before noticing the little boy asleep on the bed.

"Quinn you need-" Sam tried to interject but he could tell his sister was only getting started.

"Oh great you've got a kid too, it's women like you that make it so hard for other women. What you couldn't find a single man to trap and have a child with? Are you after his money because I promise you won't get a damn dime from him and you certainly won't be taking from his kids to feed your own and another thing-" Quinn ranted before Mercedes burst out laughing.

"Wow… you are a bitch. Let me set a few things straight, one you need to give Jack more credit than you are right now. Two I introduced him to his wife years ago and three don't ever disrespect my friendship with your brother or my son like that again." Mercedes said her tone was serious and Sam couldn't help the smirk that crossed his face when he saw how stunned his sister was.

"I don't think I've ever seen you this quiet." Sam quipped earning a glare from Quinn.

"Then why is he sneaking around pulling favors for you?" Quinn questioned and Mercedes looked at her hard before looking over her shoulder at her sleeping son sighing.

"Can we not talk about this in front of my son?" She asked before walking out of the room with them on their heels.

"Okay, explain." Quinn demanded and Mercedes shot her a look that made her step back. "Sorry, it's hard getting out of lawyer mode when it comes to my family."

"Oh hell, Sam I knew I should've told you after I came here." Jack said shooting Mercedes a sorry look.

"You shouldn't have put any of us in this situation to begin with and you should have at least explained that she wasn't your mistress!" Quinn barked at him and Jack shot her a confused look.

"MJ? Eww."

"That's what I said."

"Can one of you explain what's going on then?" Sam asked.

"Well MJ… you want to tell them or should I?" Jack asked and Mercedes sighed.


Well hello Quinn... Also her husband isn't him ;)
