"Is everything okay Gideon?" I kissed her hair as I led her to the car. "Yes baby everything's fine we just need to get back we'll get your books later okay."
"Okay." My heart was a little unsettled as we headed home. I didn't know what I was going to find there but I knew it wouldn't be good, the tone in Gage's voice told me that much.
Traffic was light so we made good time and was soon heading up in the elevator. She’d been quiet the whole way here but I could tell she was scared again. Will this shit never end?
My men were all standing around in the kitchen. At the table in the middle of them was Jason, he looked shaken and he was covered in...
" Is...is that blood?" She hobbled to his side before I could stop her.
"What's going on, who hurt him?" What in the fuck? I walked over to where she was standing next to him already close to tears.
"Uh that's not quite what happened boss." Gage inclined his head towards Blossom. I took that to mean he wanted me to get her out of the room.
"Ashley why don't you go get some towels so we can clean him up?"
"But he's hurt, Jason where are you hurt?"
"I'm not Ashley..." He looked to me for help.
"Blossom baby go get the towels like I asked." She looked up at me and left the room reluctantly.
"Start talking."
"He did his old man." Well fuck.
GIDEON
“Ihad to do it.” The kid started to shake and I put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. My head started to pound, I’d had enough. “It’s okay Jason. Where’s the body?” I directed my question to Gage and the others. “Already taken care of.”
Fine now I just had to figure out some lie to tell my wife when she came back into the room. “You don’t ever tell her what you did you hear me Jason?” He just looked up at me trying to be brave but he was just a little boy.
A little boy who’d just killed his own father. Will the evil these men set off ever end? I heard her coming back down the hallway and braced myself.
She walked right over to him her eyes searching him for injuries. “Jason what happened? Were you in an accident?” He looked to me to take over. I was still trying to come up with something plausible.
“It was a deer baby nothing to worry about.” That seemed to calm her a little bit and she started fussing at him to go clean up and get out of his ruined clothes.
I was pretty much done, tonight it all ends we had the lead we needed for all the missing and I was confident that we would handle it. There was no reason for this shit to go on any farther, the guilty will pay there was no doubt.
My idea of making the senator pay in the public eye was now null and void. I’ll have to do that shit postmortem. His days on this earth had come to an end when he entered my fucking home and hunted my woman like she was nothing. Now I just had to find a way to leave these two here without too many questions.
“Ashley baby come with me.” I took her out of the room and up the stairs.
“Gideon why was Jason out hunting a deer?” Shit.
“I don’t know baby maybe he needed to let off steam after the day he had.” She seemed to give it some thought as she took a seat on the bed.
“I have to go out for a few hours, I want to go see about the kids we brought home. I didn’t get a chance to talk to them before we had to come back here.” She opened her mouth to ask to come along again I’m sure but since I was lying my fucking head off I had to cut her off.
“Same rules baby you’re not going anywhere near them until I’m sure it’s safe. Now tell me you’re gonna be my big girl and be safe until I get back.” She pouted but came over to hug me. “Fine Gideon but I’m having junk for dinner.”
“Brat; Just add some vegetables to your plate and I won’t be mad.” She turned her face up for my kiss, which I gave her while hugging her close.
“You promise me that you’re okay?” She nodded her head before laying it on my chest. “I’m fine now the police will take care of those horrible people so I don’t have to be scared anymore.”
Not entirely right but if that’s what worked. “That’s right baby, now go get cleaned up you’ve got deer blood all over you. She didn’t seem to want to let me go so I kissed her head and tapped her ass. “I’ll be back before you know it.”
