iShit/ii. /i

So, she did notice.

The truth was, everyone one of these women were important not just to me, but to our entire family. I needed to make sure they were all safe.

As we made our way to Tomas‘ SUV, Parys became excited.

“iSo/ii! /iiWhere /iiwe /igoingi?/i”

As we all got into the car, I informed Tomas we were heading to my helicopter ‘Nightwing‘. Suddenly, Dous became excited.

“iWait /iiwe’re taking /iiNightwing/ii! /iiOh /iishit! /iiI /iihaven’t /ibeen ion /iithe /iichopper /iiin /iiforever/ii!!/ii” /i

“iWhere /iiare /iiwe /iigoing/ii???/ii” /i

Both of my cousins beamed in excitement.

“iWe’re /iigoing /iito /iiNorth /iiBay/ii./ii” /i

i“/iiNorth /iiBay/ii??? /iiWhy/ii?/ii” /i

i“/iiI /iineed /iito /iiinterview /iisomeone/ii./ii” /i

Parys‘ face fell.

i“/iiSo/ii, /iiwait/ii…/iiyou’re /iigoing /iito /iiwork/ii?/ii” /i

i“/iiNo/i…I’m igoing /iito /iiconfirm /iithe /iitruth /iiabout /iithe /iiRochesters/ii./ii” /i

Both Tyler and Dougie looked at me confused.

i“/iiThe /iiRochesters/i? iWhy /iido /iiyou /iicare /iiabout /iithem/ii?/ii” /i

Parys inquired waiting for my response.

“iBecause /iithey’re /iimy /iifiancé’s /iipiece /iiof /iishit /iifamily/ii./ii” /i

I caught Parys and Dous up on everything that transpired with Gracie. Each of them sat with a mixture of empathetic and disgusted looks on their faces.

i“/iOh, my god. That’s awful.”

Dous whispered as he sat in shock.

i“/iiThose /ifucking ibastards/ii! /iiHow /icould ithey /ido that to their iown /idaughter and sister! And who’s this Jonathan assholeb!/bbi” /i/b

Parys was livid, hearing that someone apart of his family was mistreated pissed him off. I shared his sentiments.

“iSo/ii, /iwe’re meeting iwith /iyour ispies /ito get ioverall /iitruth /ion iwhat’s /iibeen /iihappening/i?i” /i

I nodded at Dous question.

i“/iiApart /iifrom /iiwhat /iiTyler /iihas /iialready /iifound /iiout/ii./ii” /i

As we arrived at the Nightwing, we all stepped out of the vehicle with a mission. Gather as much information as we could so that we could begin the next steps in my n to destroy the Rochesters and Brooks.
