Chapter 55: Jason

I led her to my room, where I saw that my sister was being funny again. There were clothes on the bed for Roxana along with toiletries. Ash had obviously brought them here instead of taking them to the room Roxana had used as a show of acceptance. Gideon had said he would talk to her about my feelings because as brave as I am, for some odd reason, I can never face my sister with certain things.

I didn't make a big deal of it, and neither did she. "I'll leave you to get cleaned up; I'll be back by the time you're done." I kissed her forehead one last time before leaving the room, reveling at the fact that this whole situation had turned out completely different than either of us had imagined.

I'm still a bit put out with her for her actions, but I can understand why she did what she did. I learned something, though; I learned that these men, even though they don't know me, have a creed that's pretty similar to mine and my brother's. The way they all tried to protect her while talkin

    I sat on the bed after he left, trying to get my thoughts together. I realize that I've been doing that a lot since coming here, in fact since the night Jason invaded my space. I wonder why these people are going this far? I had tunnel vision coming here. My only interest had been in getting to Cierra, but I hadn't given much thought to what comes next.I needed to see her with my own eyes, the woman I'd held in some sort of esteem since learning of her existence. I got up and went into the shower that was attached to the room. This place defies reason. I'd spent the last five years sleeping and living rough; now, here I am quite literally in the lap of luxury. Too bad it doesn't feel any different here than it had in that abandoned shell of a building. I can't relax enough to enjoy anything the place has to offer.I let my mind wander as the hot water ran down over me, reliving my failed attempt at getting under everyone's skin. I flicked off the water a few minutes later with a f

    She looked around at my question as if expecting to find someone else hiding behind me."I'll show you, but you can't tell daddy.""Oh, really! And why is that?""It makes him nervous." I raised my brow at that. If her daddy is the big tattooed guy who looks like he gnawed on granite instead of a pacifier as a kid, then I don't see much of anything making him nervous.And then her words registered, and I felt a dip in my gut. Here we go, this is where she's going to burst my bubble, because what could she possibly be doing that would make her dad nervous and who with? I felt a deep sense of disappointment and betrayal and recognized it for what it was.Because somewhere deep in the very recesses of what once made me human, I'd been holding onto a slim hope that these people were what they seemed. That they weren't hiding behind a façade. I'll give it to them; they're much better at hiding what they really are than the people who'd fostered me. It hadn't taken me long to recog

    You sure this is a good idea, Mancini?" I watched my kid mixing who knows what in a bowl as she drew her latest mark in."Yep! I know if anyone can break through her barriers quickly, our Catalina could.""Dafuq, do you have my kid doing down there anyway?"I guess the f*ck forgot that I wasn't supposed to know about this when he turned on his little spy camera for the rest of us to see. "She's not doing anything down there that she doesn't do at home." He has a point. We watched for a few minutes more until Jason showed up on camera standing outside the door Mengele had left open, probably by mistake.He didn't alert them to his presence, just stood there watching them, watching her. "Oh damn, turn it off. It feels almost like intruding on a private moment. The kid's got it bad.""I see an island wedding in the forecast." Tyler walked over to the mini-fridge to grab some bottles of water to toss around the room. "My thoughts exactly."***?JasonI almost gave myself a

    This kid is not normal. How the heck she talked me into teaching her how to fight first before showing me how to build a bomb like she was about to is anyone's guess; I'm still trying to figure it out myself. "You can teach me the basics, and then I'll bring Lily-Anna, and you can teach her as well. But first, I have to make sure she won't get hurt.""Aren't you afraid that you'd get hurt?""No!" That's all she said with that look in her eyes from before. Okay, kid, you're the boss. Geez, did she get all of her dad's genes or something? The guy looks like there's a whole lot more going on behind his eyes, and the way he'd talked me into feeling calm is still a mystery. His kid seems to have inherited his traits and then some.We stepped away from the table because she insisted that we get started right this second, which I didn't question because whatever."Okay, before we get started, the first thing you need to learn is where to find the pressure points on the body.

    Watching her body move as she taught the kid was like poetry in motion. She seemed different somehow as if all of her defenses were down, and there was something about the way the kid interacted with her that seemed almost as if she were the adult. It's weird, but I keep getting this vibe from the kid that I just can't put my finger on.I've been around my nieces and nephews my whole adult life, and it's not the same, and when the kid looked dead at me with a smile after her last move, I was sure she'd been aware of my presence this whole time. What the f*ck? Since I'd been busted, I cleared my throat and walked into the room. "Hi, sweetheart." I smiled at Roxana as I made my approach. "I didn't know where you were when I came back. So this is what you were up to." In a dress no less. I love the flustered look on her face when I put my arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple in a nonsexual non-threatening way. I figure it's the best way to get under her defenses and keep he

    What a strange day. From my sparring match with the kid to working with Jason and Track, who was full of surprises, and now sitting here at the big family-style dinner with everyone who seems to have accepted me in their midst without question. Most surprising for me was the way they let their kids, especially their daughters, just hang around me.One minute I wanted to yell at them for being so careless, and the next, I wanted to break into tears at their acceptance. I've kept myself away from polite society because one of the things I'd come to accept about myself is that no one with any real value would want to be associated with someone with my past.But here were these people who seemed even wealthier and of more importance than my tormentors, just including me in their conversations. The women seemed genuinely friendly, especially the one Jason had introduced as his sister. And though I was sure they all knew where I came from, there were no sly remarks or innuendoes tossed m

    "How did you know she smoked weed?""Her lips.""Geez, Mancini, you're a scary f*ck. How'd you know the kid was going to bring her here?""He's young and trying to woo her; there's a whole bloody ocean at his backdoor; what would you do if you were him?""Point!"I watched from the shadows as the pothead ramped his sh*t up, getting the kid to spill. "He didn't add anything more illegal to the grass, did he?""No, that was the only part that was up for grabs. I didn't know how she'd react to it, but I took a wild guess. It does have certain properties to it, after all, and the strain your dad and daughter have been working on is a little more, shall we say, truth serum-ish.""Dafuq are you talking about?" The fool walked away, laughing, and headed back towards the house where the others were waiting. "What exactly is it that he and Mengele are up to anyway?""Lots of things, brother, don't sweat it. It's our turn to put the kids to sleep." Sh*t, I forgot all about that.

    "I do like them; I just like his better." The table erupted in laughter and jibes, and I realized what I'd said too late. My face was on fire, and I tried to hide it in my plate until the ribbing died down. Catalina and Lily Anna started singing the kissing song, and I almost died right there and then. Thank heavens the talk changed to something else not long after, and I was once again forgotten.After lunch, we headed back downstairs. "Wait one second; I have to grab something from my room." He sighed and looked put out, and I didn't need to guess why. We'd had a bit of a tiff the night before when I wanted to go back to the room, I'd slept in my first night here. Not only because I didn't want to sleep next to him, though he promised nothing would happen, that he just wanted to watch over me, but also because I was high as a kite.I knew better than to hang around him much longer after spilling way too much to the older crew. At least I'd been cognizant enough to keep the name o

    Why do I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop in this place? I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole, but I've never done drugs, not willingly at least, and not since the ones that had been foisted on me to keep me in line came to an end with my escape. Yet, it feels like I've lived ten lifetimes in the few days I've been here.I'm warily cautious of accepting both Jason and the doctor's words that I'm pregnant, but he seems so sure. Even the way he touched me just now was different, so there's no doubt that he believes his own words. I don't feel any different, obviously, since we'd only just started having sex, and as far as I know, it would be way too early to tell. But if I add up all the strange things that have transpired in the last few days, I guess this would fit right in."How are you feeling?" Mr. Lyon drew my attention from watching Jason's retreating back."I'm fine; why does everyone keep asking me that?""The longer you're here, the more you'll come to re

    Roxana was grumpy and fretful after the doctor left, and I knew most of it was due to the fact that I'd kept her up all night and into the early morning, plus the added excitement of the last few hours. Still, I had to fight her to stay in bed, which she did only after I manhandled her stubborn ass into compliance. I learned a neat new trick in the meantime and feel no shame in using that sh*t to my advantage going forward.It seems like as much as she wants to deny both mine and the doctor's assumption that she's pregnant, the mere possibility has put her in a bind. The very mention of her needing to rest because of her condition, something I have no idea about, to be honest, was enough to make her settle down and do as she's told.Since it was my first time seeing an obedient Roxana, I'm not yet a hundred percent sure that it wasn't a fluke, but I can't wait to test it out. Now I find myself looking back at her every few minutes from my place at the desk where I was once again go

    I looked up at the wall where he'd hung my family crest along with the others, still not used to the idea that some ancestor of mine was a sellout who'd saved some asshole king that was probably not worth it. I'd threatened my kids with death if they spread this sh*t , but I know it won't last. It's only a matter of time before I have to deal with their mother and her sh*t ."Turn it off, Lyon." I hit the off switch, and we were treated to the women's laughter as they congratulated themselves on getting one over on us again. Then they started their sh*t again."Where did you say this person is? What prison?""California City Correctional, why?""No reason! As you said, you're a FED, not much you can do. Why are we talking about this anyway? I thought we were discussing Roxy's thing." Flanagan got restless in his seat as his wife's words came through the speaker."What is it?" I asked, but he just gritted his teeth and shook his head."She's up to something; she changed the

    "Kat, that was a very impressive sigh; what's up?""Nothing much; I'm just wondering where I can get a pregnancy test on this island.""Why don't you have one of the million doctors they have running around here take a look?""Have you met my husband, Cierra? He'd have to vet that poor person for a week before he'd let that happen. Besides, that's not why I'm sighing. I'm almost certain that I am anyway I don't need confirmation.""Then why the sigh?""I just realized that since we got married, I'm either always pregnant or has just given birth.""So? I thought you loved having kids." "It's not that; I do love having babies, it's just… it's been a while since I've had a good spanking." There was a lot of hooting and hollering followed by a chorus of agreement from the other women, and that's when I turned the screen off. "For f*ck sake!" The other men in the room started laughing their idiot heads off like they hadn't heard their women jumping on the bandwagon with my

    "Geez, I need to sit down." I did, but I didn't, so I watched for a little while longer until the two of them headed in the direction of the stables. It was almost half an hour later when I intercepted Catalina on her way to the lab. "Hey, kiddo, how's it going?""Uncle Hank." She ran over and wrapped her arms around my thighs."Hi uncle Hank, did the plane leave yet?""He's almost ready, I wanted to talk to you about that, but there's something else I wanted to talk to you about first. Catalina, those words you gave the senator, where did you hear that song?""Grandpa always listens to that stuff when he's doing one of his experiments."What experiments?""With the grow.""You…""Don't worry, uncle Hank; I've never seen grandpa smoking before; he always goes into the other room.""If you haven't seen him, how do you know that that's what he's doing?" She gave me a look that made me feel stupid. "Sorry I asked." I waited a couple beats before carrying on."Catalina

    In the room around me, the men were going over plans for the next few days. Lyon was adamant that he would have the information out of Roxana by then, and I'd already got the specs on the place on the Hudson so that we could synchronize a hit.It hadn't been hard because the idiots, either to be funny or in a show of arrogance, had chosen to use a place that had been used for the same vice in history. The house, or rather mansion, was on the historical society list, which meant getting the blueprints and other pertinent information had been a breeze.It's also a known fact that a lot of these homes that were built by the wealthy during a certain time period in the country's history had a lot of hidden pockets that didn't show up on paper. I have the historical research team working on that as we speak. Since this place is so close to the water, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an underground network of some kind running from the mansion to the river.Since the SEALs had run i

    When she covered her tummy with her hand, I covered hers with mine, and we both held the place where I was sure my seed had taken root inside her. "Jason?" I don't think I've ever heard her voice sound so thin and afraid. I wasn't expecting fear. Anger sure, annoyance, any of those things I could've dealt with, but the sound of fear in my otherwise fearless beauty was almost too much for me to bear."What is it, love?" I had to clear my throat a time or two to remove the frogs."I don't know anything about babies. I wasn't going to stay here. What am I going to do?" I got the feeling that that last was more to herself than me, so I concentrated on the rest of what she said. I imagine that, like me, she was thinking about all that she'd been through and worrying about bringing a child into a world where such things were possible, so I went with that first."We'll learn everything we need to to make sure that the little one is safe and happy. I've helped raise my nieces and nephews

    Now all those times I'd seen them with a kid strapped onto their chests since we've been here was starting to make sense. I've seen my brother with his kids, of course, but never knew that there were others like him. Now I see why these rough and tumble men were so soft when it came to their wives and kids.When they're yours, your woman, your blood, it changes everything. I feel such a strong sense of protection already for both of them. "I have to get back to her, but I'm going to need a new workspace; I'm not doing any of this around her after today. Mr. Lyon, sir, whatever you're going to do to get her to give you the information, please do it quickly.""Mister? Sir?" The guy is a real grump, like his dad said earlier. I don't know what came over me. Maybe I was overly excited about the baby, but I'd heard him threaten death and mayhem to anyone who said the next words that came out of my mouth, and it still didn't stop me. "I'm sorry, your highness." The room erupted with laug

    No sooner had the word left my lips than the women descended like sharks scenting blood in the water. I didn't think I'd spoken that loud, and where the hell did they come from. "Are you sure, Jason?" My brother asked from behind me, and I nodded. I know it's stupid, and I can't explain it, but I know that she's carrying my seed, which is all it is at this point.There was a fire starting under my palm, a kind of electric buzz running up my arm where we touched. My head spun with emotion, and I felt the connection deep. Like something inside her, my son or daughter, holding me there by her side. I caught her when she faltered, her eyes never leaving mine. "Pregnant?" The word was a mere whisper from her lips, and I nodded, too choked up for words.I picked her up while she was still in a daze and less apt to strike. "Ash!" I looked around for my sister and saw a line of women watching us with smiles on their faces. "You and the others follow me." I haven't the first clue what to d
