Detrick/Jessie’s father

Jessie is very hard headed, he doesn’t understand that I’m doing this for him and that young lady’s safety. If Granzello learns about this there is going to be a war. He doesn’t take matters like this very lightly, he will end that innocent girl’s life. He knows that in the mafia you don’t go back on your word! It might have been forced on him, but still he agreed. My hands are tight because I know Jessie meant what he said, he will shoot his mother if I don’t bring his girl back.

I called him in my office to talk about the matter at hand. He knocked and walked in, I was surprised because he never knock. That’s how rude he is! Spoiled rich brat who got everything handed to him, But I can’t overlook the fact that he’s a hard worker. He took my businesses to a whole new level. “Come in son, take a seat.” I said gesturing to the seat opposite mine. “I hope the reason why I’m here is to give me the location.” Straight to the point.

“Of course son, but know that I was only doing this for her safety and also yours.” I said as sincere as I can be to show him I had no ill intentions.

“I’m a grown ass man father, I don’t need your protection.” This boy is so stubborn.

“I hope you know Granzello is not going to let this go just like that.”

“I know father, so you don’t have to inform me about everything as if I don’t understand my own world.” He is so arrogant and Granzello is not someone you want to be enemies with.

“Just be careful son, now let’s go get your girl.”

Jessie

The driver took us to one of our oldest warehouse my dad used when I was young, I don’t know why I never thought of it. I was anxiously tapping on my phone, the drive took forever and I wanted to see my girl. I know I make it sound like it’s official, but after what we did the other night was a confirmation I needed.

The car stepped and I looked out the window to see a very old and rusty warehouse. “Dad I can’t believe you bought her here! Look at this junk.”

“I’m sorry son, I can see you really took a liking on her!.”

I Just rolled my eyes at him and walked straight to the huge still door. It was a little bit dark inside so I had to walk carefully not to trip on the dirt. We found her alone, all of my dad’s men were gone. I took off the blind fold they covered her with and I realized why they ran away. She had a bruise on her face and some on her body.

I screamed at my dad to take a look at what his men did to my wife, yeah my wife! She will wear my ring soon. I held her close to me whispering sweet nothings in her ears hoping she will eventually feel better. I held her bridal style taking her to the car heading to the hospital, I left my dad there alone. I didn’t want to be close to him at this point, I was too angry to listen to his stupid apologies.

At the hospital I didn’t wait for the stretcher, I held her bridal style again and went inside shouting at everyone to attend to her. Doctors came running because they recognized me, my family is part owner of the hospital. They apologized and took her to the emergency room. She was a little responsive when I found her there but now, she was out of it.

I paced around for almost an hour going crazy of whether she was going to be ok or not. I’m going to kill those bloody mother fuckers who thought they were worthy to touch what’s mine, they better run because as soon as she gets better I’m going to hunt them. They won’t know what hit them.

My phone started to ring and I checked the caller id, it was Tara. “What do you want Tara" I asked very annoyed.

“Is this how you talk to your soon to be wife?” I snorted.

“I don’t have time for this Tara.”

“Don’t you dare Jessie I took enough of your nonsense, you better show some respect. We are getting married in a few months for pedes sake. I let you treat me like trash.” She said super fuelled with anger.

“If that’s how you feel then pack bags and go, leave my house at this instance.”

The woman I love is here and I don’t know if she’s going to be okay and now she wants to stress me more. So I just hanged up the phone as the doctor walked out of the emergency room asking if I’m the boyfriend and I agreed without any doubt. He told me that Lee was going to be ok and the reason she fainted was due to psychological exhaustion. I thanked him and ask if it’s ok I go see her.

She looked fragile but most importantly she looked peacefully. I held her hand in mine and I was bit relieved it was warm, at least now I know she’s okay, she’s just sleeping. After a while my mom came budging in along with my dad. “Oh my son are you okay?.” What’s with this woman! I’m not the one on a hospital bed. She should be asking if Lee is alright, not me!. “ I’m okay mother, as you can see I’m not the one on a hospital bed.” She looked at me then at Lee and I don’t know what was going through her mind. “I know dummy… I just want to know how you feel with her lying on a sick bed.” I thought she’d ask how Lee was doing but she keeps asking how I’m doing. Lee’s hand lightly squeezed my hand to let me know she’s awake. She opened her deep chocolate brown eyes and started to ask. “Where am I Jessie?” She was a bit surprised to see unknown faces here. “Calm down baby, you are in a hospital.” I said rubbing her outer palm hoping to calm her.

I introduced her to my parents and she gladly shook hands with them. I gave her a glass of water since her voice was a bit raspy, her voice sounded like her throat was a Sahara desert. My parents sat there with us getting to know her while munching on some Chinese, yeah she’s my girlfriend they are going to treat her like royalty until she’s discharged.

Jessie was happy to see Lee laughing and looking better. But Tara was not anywhere near happy, she was fuming fire. She knew there had to be someone for Jessie to talk to her like that. “ Duh! He didn’t want to do this from the first place, your father blackmailed him. Remember?.” Her subconscious mocked her. She wanted to find out even a small piece of evidence that Jessie is cheating so she can take it to her father. She knows her father can get this mess fixed in a snap of a finger and she was going to search everywhere even the garbage bags.
