Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 74: Jennifer
"Sure."Jennifer got out of the low-slung sports car. Though the café doors were open, the tables weren't set yet. She didn't see customers. A few servers were moving about inside.Jennifer pushed her sunglasses up on her head and strode toward the entrance. Orion fell in behind her. He was taking this watch-her-back stuff literally. She resisted the urge to smile.She could be amused later.Inside, a radio played softly. They stood at the front doors for almost a full minute before a young man carrying a crate full of glasses to the bar saw them."Sorry, we aren't open," he said in heavily accented English."I'm here to see Uwe," Jennifer replied.The young man's eyes widened. He quickly set his burden on the closest table and wiped his hands on the apron protecting his clothing."Follow me?" he said.She nodded and fell into step behind the guy.Clearly this Uwe person had a reputation.Did he own this place?The dishwasher led them through the upper dining ro

Friday. Café Brazil. Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza.BAIN STARED AT THE door. He could hear their fading footsteps if he listened carefully enough."You didn't realize that was not Milan Esposito?" Mr. Magness' tone was cutting.Bain glanced at his boss. He felt sweat bead on his brow and knew this was one blunder he couldn't get out of."She's four-five-inches taller, man. Open you damn eyes." Mr. Magness snatched up his paper and stood."Sorry, sir," Bain muttered.Mr. Magness waved his hand. "Bah. It's her job to confuse people. Don't fall for it again. And find out everything you can on this Jennifer Miracle. You're going to be responsible for her and getting me that puzzle box."Bain nodded."Apply whatever pressure you must. The best opening will be tomorrow night. If she drags her heels, use our contact at the police and see if we can't change her mind. This has a better chance of succeeding if it isn't Ms. Esposito doing the job. This could work out in our favor."

Friday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER PACED THE SMALL event room off the entry of the hostel. She and Mateo had agreed that controlling where the meeting with Bain happened for the hand-off gave them a small edge.She didn't think this meeting would go well.Ultimately, she'd decided on inaction.If Uwe was going to go to the police, he'd have done so by now. So it made sense there was a greater purpose to all of this. They hadn't yet seen the true stick. Until she knew the full scope of the situation, no decision could be made.She glanced at her phone.The messages had stopped coming in from the girls. They must have all gone back to sleep. No doubt she'd pay for ignoring them later. It wasn't like she could just divulge this whole situation to them.Another notification popped up, separate from the rest. The preview said it all.Ivy: Are you ok? Something seemed off.Great.Jennifer swiped her finger over the screen and looked at the pr

Jennifer only felt a small pang of guilt about this. Her job was to look after Milan. At this point, keeping her from doing something damaging to herself was inevitable. Jennifer had to make a plan. She had to do something.As soon as Milan turned her attention on Zechariah, Jennifer continued toward Orion's office. He was still dealing with guests and the inevitable conflict that came from kicking someone off the property.She let herself into Orion's office via the patio doors. Her laptop sat on the edge of his desk where they'd both worked quietly together for a few hours before Bain's arrival.What if the thumb drive was another trap?She looked at her laptop, then the drive.There wasn't much on her laptop, but it connected to Aegis Group and had all of the Esposito's information on it.A familiar knock sounded on the door."Mateo?" she called out over her shoulder.The door opened. "That's me. How'd it go?"She turned toward him and grimaced. "You wouldn't happe

Friday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.THE SUN HAD LONG-SINCE set by the time Orion was able to make it back to the property.He hated events like this.Mateo had assured him everything at the hostel was taken care of. Even Maria had assured him that she'd seen to making sure Jennifer had dinner delivered to her room.He should have reached out. Something.Instead, he'd paced the hospital waiting room until news came that his guest was going to pull through.It could have been a different ending.He pulled his car into the garage and leaned forward over the wheel.Why? Why was it worth the risk?He'd never know.The distant sounds of music pulsed.No part of him wanted to go to the main house, but that was where he was expected to be.Reluctantly, he got out of the car and ensured the garage was locked up. He stood on the path toward the main part of the hostel for several moments.He couldn't make himself take a step.Not a single one.He turne

Saturday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER WAS ACCUSTOMED TO getting ready for events with Milan. Normally it was because Milan wanted to ensure Jennifer looked good enough or had her hair and make-up done right. There was often a whole glam team involved like they'd had at their disposal last night. Milan had deviated from that plan and decided to get ready on her own, without paid help.The mood in Milan's private room was somber. They were getting ready, but there was no sense of anticipation, no excitement.Jennifer missed all of that.Milan picked up the curling wand and glanced at her. "Are we going to go over it all again?""Do you need to?" The plan was locked in Jennifer's head.Milan stared at the wand for a moment, then shook her head before winding a lock of hair."It'll work," Jennifer said.Milan's gaze cut toward her again. "Are you sure Orion going with us is a good idea?"Jennifer pursed her lips and made herself really consider the

Saturday. Cala Gració, Ibiza.BAIN SHIFTED AGAIN. THE seat was so stiff it was impossible to get comfortable.How much longer were they going to take?He glanced at the clock.Those dumb bitches were going to make him wait, weren't they?He checked the time.The party had technically started. No one would have arrived by now, though. They all wanted to be fashionably late. Hell, if someone actually showed up on time, that would be a surprise.Bain could hear Uwe's voice in his head telling him to be patient. Wait for the opportunity to come to him. Bain nodded to himself, closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath.Everything was arranged. All he had to do was wait and ensure the girls did their part. Then the boss would have the puzzle box and the mystery it contained.The only thing better would be if Bain could bring it to the boss himself. While he'd like that, he wasn't about to interfere with the boss' plans. They were in motion and they all had a part.If t

Orion kept a hold on her hand and guided her into the house, through the entry, and then turned left.The blueprints were right.The six foot, narrow entry let out into a small seating chamber before opening up to the rest of the house. A couple dozen people were sipping from freshly made drinks. The patio doors were open, showing off the stunning infinity pool and the view of the ocean beyond. And of course, no party was complete without a DJ. Judging by the small cluster of people around the guy sporting headphones, he must be at least moderately well known.That was good. People tended to throw themselves into dancing if they thought they were supposed to. The more people dancing, the fewer that would be people watching. Like them."Okay, now what?" Jennifer said just loud enough to reach his ears.He let go of her hand to drape his arm around her waist. The weight of her purse rest on his wrist, a heavy reminder that she went everywhere with a gun. "Let's get a drink and

Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 154: Epilogue.
Three months later. Ibiza.THEY SHOULD HAVE ELOPED.Lumen was ready to throw the silly bouquets into the water, scream at the top of her lungs and jump off the cliff herself. Alone.Jennifer appeared almost instantly. "Have a drink, you look stressed."Lumen considered the beverage. She'd meant to abstain from anything that might make her the least bit emotional until after the wedding, but right now it was just what the doctor ordered. She took the glass and downed the contents in two gulps."Way to chug," Jennifer snickered.Lumen thrust the glass back at her. "You. Shut it."Prudence burst in through the curtain, one sheer panel sticking to her bun of braids.Lumen jumped, startled by the sudden appearance. "Shit, what?""It happened," Prudence blurted.Lumen pressed her hand to her chest. "What happened? What now? Fucking hell, people. This is a wedding not... I don't know. What?"Prudence cringed. "I should have thought about this. You might not want to hear before th
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 153: Max
Sunday. Hotel, Boa Vista, Brazil.MAX WAS WAITING WITH a plate the moment Lumen appeared. Jennifer and Prudence both glared at him, but he managed to get Lumen's attention and steer her into the bedroom where their things had been left. He could tell that Lumen was exhausted and in more pain than she wanted to admit. Besides, she'd never been much for messy emotions and she'd already told him he loved her today. That alone would leave Lumen wanting to avoid groups."Oh, thank you." She settled on the edge of the bed and grimaced."You seemed to be kind of done."Lumen chuckled. "You still know me so well."Max offered her the sandwich. He wished he could give her more, but it was what was on hand for now.The desire to touch her was driving him crazy, but he didn't dare. Instead he retreated to the one arm chair in the room and sat at a safe distance. She might have forgiven him for today, but he kept replaying it and all the moments he should have acted differently.Maybe he
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 152: Lumen
Sunday. Hospital, Boa Vista, Brazil.LUMEN WASN'T SURE WHAT she liked the least, the pain or the way all the drugs made it feel as though she were moving through quicksand. Or that gel stuff the kids liked playing with.She sighed, only to be reminded that her ribs were. Not broken, so that was a relief. The fractures were tiny, hairline cracks, so in the scope of things it was nearly a best case situation. Didn't change the fact that right now she hurt like hell.A nurse with kind eyes stepped behind the curtain. She'd been working double time considering her grasp of English was the best of those currently working. "The doctor says you're good to go.""Thanks. Thank you. For everything. You've been a great help.""I chose the right time to come home, didn't I?" The nurse chuckled. "Do you want me to let your husband come back?"Husband.Lumen swallowed.In the confusion of arriving at the hospital, it had been easy to just let people draw the conclusion. Now, after Lumen ha
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 151: Lumen, Blair, Max
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.LUMEN FELT AS THOUGH she were being grilled alive lying in the bed of the pickup with the afternoon sun baking her. Her shoulder throbbed and if she breathed too deeply her ribs hurt. She didn't think they were broken. Fractured or bruised, but not broken. That was good.Thomas spat curses as he wrestled with the newly flat tire."Hurry up," Blair demanded.Lumen winced.That wasn't going to go over well."What did you say to me?" Thomas said in a dangerous tone.There was a heavy thud.Lumen imagined Thomas dropping the tire iron as he rose to direct his wrath at a new target."They're going to find us. We need to get clear of here," Blair said."What the fuck do you think I'm doing?""God, I never should have listened to you.""If it weren't for me, you'd be locked in your daddy's pleasure palace waiting on him to stick you with a needle and turn you into a good little daughter.""Shut up!" Blair roared. "Why don'
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 150: Max
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.THE DRAMA AT THE front gate dragged on.Max ground his teeth.They couldn't take off down the road without raising questions. They were stuck here, with all eyes on them, until someone made a move.He prayed Lumen was safe, that she could last a little longer."Canteens are full," Prudence said from the back of the SUV."Did we find sunblock? These meat heads won't think about that until it's too late," Jennifer said."Yeah, there's some." Prudence shifted behind Max. "Everything's ready. How's it looking out there?""The same," Vito replied. It was pretty much the only thing he'd said since indicating he would be going with them on this adventure.That left Brett and three other Aegis Group guys to guard Nabanita and her family. Those weren't great numbers given the situation, but Max was willing to believe they could hold their own."Have we heard from Zain?" Max asked."Nothing yet," Prudence replied.Max pulled ou
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 149: Lumen
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.LUMEN SAT ON THE bottom bunk watching the only door to the room, but it was still shut.Had Blair really not realized her phone was missing? Was something else going on?"Breakfast should have come by now," Buzz said for at least the fifth time, if not more. "Something's not right."That last bit was new.She turned her head and watched him pacing, eyes on the door like hers."Hey?" she said. "It's going to be okay.""You don't know that.""I do."She still hadn't told him what she'd done, though he'd seen. He had to have seen.He kept pacing, not listening to her at all.Poor kid, he'd been locked up for over a week from the sound of things. She doubted he'd had a lot of company."What's their reasoning keeping you locked up like this?" she asked to get him out of his own head."I don't know," Buzz said."Okay, well, what have they said? What do you know?""Nothing. I know nothing, okay?""I see."He sighed
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 148: Max, Blair
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.MAX SAT IN THE backseat of another SUV and watched as Nabanita and William once more tried to reason with the idiots at the gate.This time, however, there hadn't been just an attendant at the gate. They'd been met with four armed men who appeared to be from Sonny's personal guard. Just how many of them were there? A truck was parked in front of the entrance. There was no way to easily drive in.This was all Zain's plan.Max didn't pretend to understand the maneuvers, only that they were testing the waters today. Dangling Nabanita and William as a decoy was their aim."Think they've brought up the book?" Jennifer asked."If I were them I'd be sweating bullets," Prudence muttered.Orion glanced back and caught Max's eye.He looked away quickly. The last thing he wanted to do right now was talk."Notice anything off that we might not?" Orion asked.Max sighed and looked back at the gate. "Thomas isn't out there this time. H
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 147: Lumen
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.LUMEN LAY ON THE top bunk staring at the ceiling. Buzz had fallen asleep again finally.They'd spent most of the night doing that. Talking, drifting off into silence and sleeping a bit. Eventually one of them would wake up, then the other and it began again.He'd seemed to understand without her needing to say it that there were some things they just couldn't talk about.Buzz was a perceptive kid.Like his sister.It killed Lumen that they needed to be this grown up.Kids should get to be kids.She prayed Max and Aspen were safe, that they'd gotten to the others and were hatching some mad scheme. Lumen had no doubt that the girls wouldn't rest until she was sprung from this prison. Unlike Jennifer, Lumen knew the lengths her coworkers and friends would go to for one of their own. She'd never doubted the resolve of those she worked with. Aegis Group had become her family in a way.The real question was, how long would it tak
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 146: Max
Sunday. Safe House, Boa Vista, Brazil.THE GRAY DAWN BROKE on the horizon as Max and the others rolled through the front gate of the safe house. He eyed the surveillance men. They were mostly the same ones he'd seen before he'd left. Still the battle hardened faces of men who knew what they were doing.Which meant it was Sonny keeping an eye on them and bypassing Thomas.Max hadn't seen it until the very end, but there was a dividing line between Thomas and Sonny. The two didn't always know what the other was doing.Fuck all of them.Vito pulled the SUV into the garage where they could safely unload. They needed to keep Max and Aspen's whereabouts under wraps for as long as possible.It had taken them hours to land and get back. More time than he'd have thought necessary. All of which meant that Lumen was still back there. Alone. Going through who knew what.Max stuffed all the frustration down inside of him as he opened the SUV door and helped Aspen out. She'd held he
