I had to put my own personal shit aside and focus on Blossom for now. I couldn't have so many of her enemies on the loose. She would never be safe with these fucks still alive or free.
I took some time to think of my next move, my enemies were piling up by the minute and having that many bodies on your tab will take time and planning. This was in no way an easy decision to make.
I have to carry this shit out with precision so that there’s no way any of it would come back to me. I’d thought to torment her ass for a while for what she’d done, like a game of cat and mouse but she couldn’t stay here in the city. Not so close to my wife.
"How can we get her out of the hospital undetected?"
"That's easy, we know the routine there already we just need someone to go in in the wee hours of the morning. That's when the nurses are having their down time; most of the patients are asleep so they're not as alert then. Moving her with her broken legs might pose a problem but it can be done. What did you have in mid sir?"
"I'm thinking Miss. Halston might be going for a long stretch in a secure mental hospital outside the country. One of those nice places that believe in shock treatment and solitary confinement; I'll make the arrangements, just fine tune the details from your end and I'll handle the rest."
"Damn boss that's cold, I would've just broken her neck, but this, this will be never ending torture for someone like her. How long do you plan on leaving her in this place?"
"How long did you say it would be before my wife was safe from her?"
"Uh, never."
I just gave him a look; that should be answer enough.
"Let me just say, I'm glad we're on the same side, your mind scares the shit outta me and I'm supposed to be the muscle in this outfit." I smiled that away.
"Now I just have to figure out what's the deal with the senator and the doc. So far I can't find anything that points to them being involved in anything shady."
"Well those drawings your wife did are spot on so we know it's those fuckers. You check their travel rosters?"
"That was going to be my next step. Also who is the senator's biggest opponent? I'm not much into politics those shysters make dirty business dealings look like child's play I have no stomach for that shit."
"I'll get you a list he's a politician I'm sure he has enemies coming out the woodwork."
"Good man, now let's deal with this psychotic bitch, I want her out of the country by the end of the week.” I heard movement on the monitor, which meant she was stirring, time to go.
“My wife's waking up I gotta go. I'll handle my end before end of day. You think you can get something worked out by then?" We both headed out the office.
"It's just the logistics, we've got the manpower just let me tinker with it a little and I'll get back to you."
"Good enough."
I saw him out and went to the kitchen to get my baby a snack, she'll be hungry again by now, plus she needed to keep her strength up we had a baby to feed. Can’t think about my kid right now or I’ll say fuck it and go on a one-man killing spree.
As I put together a salad and some fruit for her I thought of ways to keep her safe. There was no doubt in my mind that the senator already knew I had her. Sanders would've had to tell him that his sick plans whatever they were were sidelined. They'd want to shut her up, they had no knowledge of the drawings I was sure, but they wouldn't take the chance of her someday recognizing one of them and spilling the beans. I have to think like a criminal, get into their heads so I could stay one step ahead.
If I couldn't figure this shit out the US senate would just be one man short in the not too distant future, as well as the medical community. It would only take an experienced pilot with a parachute to send a plane crashing into the Rockies, or maybe devil's tower.
Shit happens.
GIDEON
She was awake when I got to the bedroom with her snack. She looked so small and lost it tore at my heart. I knew she was afraid and that more than anything else pissed me the fuck off. She shouldn’t have to be afraid.
Her leg and arm will mend, but fear is something that lived inside and was hard to exorcise. She alone knows the terror that she felt at the hands of these people, not even my anger can negate that.
