Benedict
I had no idea, but I was pretty sure that Charles was hiding the fact from Jo that he was still in love with his evil wife Lana.
From what he just admitted to me, I felt a surge of hope well up in my chest. Hope that he goes for Lana, not my Phina.
" Hudson, you need to figure that s**t out. Though it pains me to admit this, Jo loves you.
Get that girl behind you, did she sign the divorce papers yet?" I asked him as I handed him a gun.
He shook his head as he checked the weapon and holstered it.
" I see you are no stranger to fire power then?" I asked, raising just one brow, like a pirate.
Charles nodded and put both hands on the sink counter top.
" I had a very good marraige, in my eyes. We were trying so hard to have a baby.
Lana was just so thin and always stressed. The doctor wanted her to gain like 20 pounds and see a shrink.
Now I know all her lies, but Ben...it's hard to just shut off the love..you know. I know she's a bad person.
I know she deserves to be locked up. But I know her, her life wasn't always so easy.
Damn it, it's Jo I love, not Lana!" He hit his fist on the sink in frustration and confusion.
I turned my head away, a smile threatened to escape my mouth. I coughed and covered it up.
" Well, that is kind of f****d up Hudson. But, after we are done here, you should go see her and try to make that work."
Charles sneered at me. " I love Jo. I won't betray her. I will get over Lana, eventually...I hope."
***********
Lavender Blue
I was very good at listening to conversations that had nothing to do with me.
Charles and Lana were trying to have a kid.
I suddenly saw an opening for Jo to be rid of the playboy, as Ben had rightfully called him.
I knew his rich boy type, everything was so easy for men like him.
I just needed to share the information about the baby to Charles, I mean...when the time was right.
I smiled, thinking about that baby.
But...what if it was my baby.
Lavender wants a baby, someday. Blue could care less.
Ian would never understand about a baby that's not his, but maybe he will accept it as his own.
He's pretty progressive in his thinking, I mean...he married me right.
I hugged my thin waist, wondering what it would be like to be pregnant.
My internet search revealed that almost always the baby of intersex persons is a boy, and no doubt have Lavender eyes.
Shit, I guess no paternity test needed then. Still, I smiled and felt cozy and warm just thinking about him in my arms, my baby.
I sent Lana a text message.
" Hey, it's Donna Farmer, my alias in the field. I heard you got knocked up. I am pretty sure that I'm the baby daddy." I grinned and hit send, laughing at my mischievousness.
She answered right away.
" Not possible, you are a woman duh!" She sounded so sure of her self.
" Well, I can be when I desire to be.
But you and I baby girl, we tripped the light fantastic and I stuck it to you hard that night. You remember right?
About 6 weeks ago." I laughed at envisioning her tremors at doing the math.
" Fucker." She wrote.
" Awe, no way to talk to your baby daddy sweet girl." I sent back. I sat on my heels, rocking back and forth on the bed in pure delight.
" I hate you, talk to my lawyer you lying bitch." She knew that somehow I was telling the truth, perhaps she thought I was transgender?
" Such language Lana. Do not cuss in front of my son please."
I started to laugh, this was ever so much fun.
My phone chimed, I was salivating at this conversation. I began to run my hand over my crotch excitedly.
Then...cold water, a message from Ian, sobering me right the f**k up.
" Meet at the bar on Pueblo and Sol street. Sanchez is holding court there.
Be armed, it's time he goes down my love, wear your kevlar vest please, promise me you will?"
" Promise. Love you baby." I sent.
I went into my bag and pulled on my bullet proof vest.
It was time to act. Sanchez was Ben's. I was going to back him up in case he f***s this up again.
I needed to convince Charles to stay with the kids.
I went into the front room and the men were already in the car, Angelina was gone.
I jogged out seeing them all belted in.
" Where's the girl?" I looked around.
" I sent her to my estate already. She needs to be hidden, safely tucked away. Get in. Ian sent you the location right?" Damn that Ben was a smart dude. He planned it all out.
I nodded and hopped into the seat next to Charles.
I have a secret, a big life changing secret! I sang in my head.
I felt giddy.
Charles tried to move away from me, I can't blame him, knowing that he wants me still.
He was looking out the window staring into space.
Ben yelled at him, startling him.
" Charles, you better get your fat head into the game, no time for day dreaming, I asked you a question!"
" Uh, oh..ask me again, I have a headache." He looked at me for help, I raised a brow at him and shrugged. I could see he was having some internal conflict of sorts.
" I said did you pack extra ammo in your bag, if so get ready." Ben repeated sternly.
Between these two power house men, the testosterone level in this damn car was through the rough.
I was sure I was not contributing to that very much, but I did get a girl pregnant. At least I hoped I did. I will find Lana when we return, lure her to Mexico and keep her as my handmaid.
Oooh...my mind was plotting and planning and I was definitely not prepared when the car skid to a full stop.
The driver yelled.
" Out, they have set up a road block, you walk from here. Hurry...be quick about it." The driver, one of Charle's father's hired monkeys barked.
We all got out and hurried into the woods. I checked my watch. It was equipped with GPS and I had already loaded our destination on it.
" This way fellas." I said, leading them through the thick brush.
" Keep up Hudson." I said to him, seeing him fall behind as he had a hard time navigating the thick mangrove that choked the surrounding the area.
I heard him cussing behind me. Meanwhile Ben was right on my neck.
We made our way, as I consulted my watch.
" This way." I said.
Ben grabbed my wrist and looked at the GPS.
" Storm took out that road a while back. We go South now." He said as he turned our group towards a small town.
I was happy he was here actually. I felt...safe with this fierce warrior on my side.
Charles put a hand on my shoulder. " Water?" He was struggling.
I didn't look at him, as I handed him my bottle, he failed to bring any. i***t.
The noise of cars and people began to enter my ears. We were so close now.
Ben stopped us.
" Me first. You both are my back up. I don't want you getting hurt, understand me?"
His eyes were a deep brown and they bore into us, we silently nodded. Sanchez was his to kill, he needed to finish this for what he did to Jo and to himself.
