Rayne grabbed Zane and the golf cart and ran over to the main house to drop him off and pick up Kris. Miranda liked to keep herself out of the loop when it came to business as she would run things with a more careful and kind way. She undeniably was not the aggressive business type.
Getting back to Rayne’s home, the brothers were already on the phone in the office, handling things in their native tongue of Greek. Rayne knew this wasn’t going to be good. She hadn’t even asked what they found out but she knew by the tone in Dimitri’s voice earlier, it was worse than they thought.
Heading into the office, she sat in the desk chair behind the desk. Darius was sitting at the six-seater conference table and Dimitri was pacing back and forth. Kris took seat across from Darius. Dimitri finished his conversation and set the phone down.
“Baby Girl, you are likely not going to want to hear this conversation. We will not be handling things the traditional, justifiable way this time.” Dimitri said sternly.
“First, I love it when you call me baby girl. It makes me hot. Second, I understood the majority of your phone conversation Dimitri. With as much cannabis as you ship for the Grecian mob families, I wasn’t surprised you called in a favor there. I think free shipments for three months is a bit much, but that is your decision. Now what I want to know is who the hell it was traced too. “
Darius cleared his throat and shifted to another position in his chair. He looked from Dimitri to Rayne uncomfortable. Kris looked completely lost.
“Holy s**t you two, spill it. This is…”
“Theuss. It is Theuss.” Darius said calmly.
“Are you f*****g serious right now? Chelsea’s husband the detective? That Theuss?”
Dimitri nodded and took a step back waiting. Rayne pounded her fist on the table and started to cuss in perfect Greek. They all just watched her rant and rave for a minute or two. She threw a few things and then finally sat back down.
“Well that was quite possibly the sexiest thing I have ever seen you do.” Dimitri said smiling.
Darius laughed and nodded his head. “I concur.”
“Truth be told I didn’t know you were so fluent in Greek and it was pretty hot.” Kris nodded in tandem.
She looked at them all and laughed. “Well, living with these two you either learn Greek or you are clueless. What are you planning. I want to know.”
“We are planning on having him picked up. He has a family and I know you would want us to take that into account but honestly Rayne, we believe…”
“Let me tell you what I want,” Rayne interrupted. “I want to be the one to take off his head. He stole a piece of my life away and made me believe it dead. He lied to my face and allowed Joshua to nearly rape and kill me. If his wife doesn’t know, then they can live but that fucker must pay.” She stopped thoughtful for a moment. “And his life is fine by me. God forgive me.”
“Well if we ever need someone to run our mob side of the family, your pregnant wife might just be what they need.” Kris snickered.
Rayne rolled her eyes and stopped cold looking at Darius and Dimitri. “Wait, you are in the mob?”
“No, no. We have some distant family that is but what we ship in Cannabis is only to the country/places it is legal to do so. What happens from there is not in our realm of work. We are about 99.5% legit baby girl.” Dimitri said with a half smirk.
She leaned back as the acrobat in her womb decided it was time to start a dance party. They all watched her belly move and flow. It was silent for several minutes as they all waited to see what else Rayne might say next.
“Is the money Theuss stole in an account that can be hacked into? Can the money be withdrawn and put somewhere for Chelsea? I mean she has the kids and I don’t want to see her do without. You know? Because when you kill Theuss they will need…”
“Whoa, Whoa, whoa…Rayne. We aren’t killing anyone.” Darius said.
“The hell you aren’t you called a hit out on him. That’s fine I will live with that knowledge but I want all the information possible to be extracted from him then you can hide him away in a cement box forever, for all I care.” Rayne said seriously. “I want to be there when he is interrogated, I want to watch.”
“I don’t really think that would be a good idea….” Kris said with some force before she cut him off.
“I love you Kristos but that is what I want. And if I don’t get it... there will be hell to pay. Are we all clear?” Rayne said seriously.
They all chatted for a bit longer and decided that he would be picked up the following day during his detective round about the city. Rayne would be transported by Darius and Dimitri themselves to the location Theuss would be questioned at. She was temporarily satisfied with that idea. Kris would be handling Zane while they were gone. Rayne decided to go take a shower and left the brothers to discuss things a bit further. She kissed them both fully on the lips and they rubbed her belly in sequence.
Once she was out of the room Darius looked concerned at Dimitri. “Are we seriously going to let her do this? I mean you realize that she is out for his head. She wants retribution. You do realize this right?”
Dimitri sighed walking over to the door and closed it. “Look. I can’t tell her no. I know where she is coming from honestly. This man had a hand in taking you away from us and even more than that, he watched Zane at his home like we were all friends. He had our son in his hands and could have done anything. I am pretty sure that is why he friended me. I am not going to lie to you Darius. I want that fucker gone.”
Darius nodded. No one wanted to take out the revenge on this man more than Darius. He had nearly lost his mind in that cell and it still gave him nightmares. Blood on his hands wasn’t how Darius wanted to live out his life but he also wanted vengeance.
“She can go and listen. That is all. I agree with that. But no more.” Darius said flatly.
