“Fuck, Diesel is right! I really hate saying that lately…but she is right. We only came into town when the FBI called us about the bolo we had put out on Peter, Asia, Jennifer and Candy.” York sighed, looking at her teammates, one at a time.
“FBI thought they had Candy’s body, but it was Peter’s. Candy was arrested by Tampa PD, she’s now dead. Asia is now in ICU under an assumed name to protect his identity. Jennifer broke seven years of silence to taunt Pratt” Sgt. Brocard followed up behind York.
“But why? I’ve been divorced from Jon for ten years now. Cody is twelve, it’s been his choice not to have anything to do with Jon. Jon’s content with that especially since the slutpuppy he’s married to managed to spit out two boys.”
“Your connection to Tina and Dakota’s case.” Raso pointed out. “Candy wanted to get rid of Dakota because she was high school aged, almost eighteen. She couldn’t use her anymore to get what she wanted as the mother of the daughter of a fallen SEAL. Everyone knew who Candy was and what she was. They only tolerated the whore because of Dakota.”
“Ice is right…bitch…” Alpha Squad chuckled along with the men as Diesel groaned out the insult. “Candy’s ability to use Dakota was done. Tina was excess weight, an unknown when Dakota was taken. We got involved, and that set the rest in motion.”
“Doesn’t explain the fact that Jennifer and this Jackson fella has their sights set on my lass though.” Highlander told the women.
“Duh! She’s part of the team that’s taking their organization down. She saved Tina. She went after Candy. She was part of the team that took out the organization that’s been operational for years, the one that Tina was sold to.” Diesel clarified for Highlander.
“Jackson knows who I am. The Senator made sure he knew who I was to him. Jennifer has her own reasons for going after me.” Pratt pointed out to her husband.
“True, but Jackson never had you in his sights until we got close to finding Dakota.”
“No, Diesel, he had me in his sights the moment Jennifer commented that she wanted revenge for me killing her mother. He could have easily made Peter and Candy disappear, no trace of them and this whole shit would have been a cold case…”
“Nae lass, the SEALs wouldn’t have let Dakota remain missing.” Highlander advised his wife.
“Maybe not, but you guys would have either wound up dead in a mission, a training accident, a death made to look like an accident, or been framed for something to get you dishonorable discharged. Something that would have thrown you guys off the trail. Granted, they don’t know you and your team, Eddie or Pattrick like we do, but something would have happened to throw everyone off the case.” Raso pointed out to everyone.
“Maybe so, but it’s time we take the bull by the horn.” Pratt said, pulling out her phone.
“What are you doing Laura?” Larry asked, looking at Gene concerned.
“Put Jon on the phone, Crissy.” Pratt said into the phone, point blank without looking at anyone in the room, as she placed it on speaker phone.
“What the fuck for bitch?”
“Because I told you to. Now, either put him on the phone or I contact Metro PD and let them know about the escort service you’re running out of your home when Jon is deployed, then I call Jon’s XO and have him drug tested. I’m sure the Senator would have fun with that media field day.”
“Fucking cunt, it’s no wonder he divorced your ass.”
“Actually twatsyphillis, I divorced him. Now, enough foreplay, get dickhead on the phone. I know he’s not deployed, and I know he’s not working today. It’s Friday, he never works or does shit except sit on his ass and stroke the micro penis he has to some porn flick on the tv since your gigantic twat doesn’t do the deed anymore. Last warning before I make the next call.”
“Jon, the ex cunt is on the phone. She wants to talk to you. Get her the fuck off my phone.”
“What the fuck do you want? You’re getting the child support like clockwork since you have that fucking shit taken out of my pay. What’s wrong princess, your fucking stud not taking care of that frigid cunt like a real man?” Jon Harris sneered at Pratt through the phone.
Pratt placed her hand on Highlander, keeping contact with him before laughing heartily. “Wow, Jon, still having issues that I upgraded in husbands I see. Don’t worry. Joe handles me very well, and reeves the engines for me. Does way better than you ever could.”
“What the fuck do you want?”
“Tell your brother, Jackson to meet me at the Covenant in one hour, or I go to the media about his connection to your family.” Pratt ordered her ex-husband after Ian wrote down the name of his club on a piece of paper.
“Who the fuck is Jackson?”
“Don’t play me dumbass. You forget what I know apparently. If you really want to play dumb, then call your sperm donor and have him give the message to Jackson himself. The Covenant, one hour. I’m sure he knows where that is and has been salivating to get his grubby ass into that place. This is one and only chance to do so. Toodles dickless wonder.”
Pratt hung up the phone and looked over at Ian. “Okay, why the Covenant? That’s your club and it’s your prize possession, besides this place. Family not included since that’s a given no matter what.”
“It’s controlled. My guys here at Trident Security, they know that building inside and out. Carter and Alvarez know that building inside and out. You’re protected and we’d know if anyone is trying to sneak in without you knowing about it.”
“That’s going to be a guarantee. We can bank on him having Jennifer with him.” Pratt rubbed her hands together and looked at her husband. “I want you with them. You cannot be in the room with me. They will use you against me and Joe, I can’t let you be a target. I’m not asking you to stand down, but I want you with his guys somewhere in that building.”
Highlander stared at Pratt for a few moments before nodding. Looking over at Ian, Highlander stared him down. “I want my wife protected at all costs. Whatever it takes. My guys will assist yours. Since this is your place, you lead this operation.”
