"Fuck Hudson, what the hell is happening? Why do we need the plane and who died?" Jagger's voice is full of irritation, he hates to be left out of the loop.
"I've not had a chance to tell you yet. Carmine was shot, Aaron called me to tell me that he died. We've yet to find out who pulled the trigger but the guys are working on it. We're flying home because it's where I'm needed."
He nods, "We're going to find out who killed him." It's a promise.
"Hell yes we are, whoever it is, when I'm finished with them, they're going to regret going after my man." I give a sinister smile, I'm looking forward to enacting revenge. "Not one word to Mia though. I've yet to tell her anything. I've been waiting for the right time and it hasn't arisen yet. I'll tell her everything once we've found this motherfucker."
They nod once, they understand. "What are you doing about Sarah and Allie?" I ask Jagger, I keep my gaze on both Lacey and Mia, they're hugging and crying. Why the hell do women do that shit?
"She's holding out, I’m going to New York next month, I’m giving it time for both Sarah and Allie to get used to me, but once I’m there, I’m not leaving without them." He tells me with a wide smile.
I nod, that's good, it'll mean they're safe. Jagger won't let anything happen to either of them. "What about Carina? What are you going to do about her?" He's not said anything about her, hell he hasn't even told me that she left the rehab center and is currently back home with her parents.
"Leave Carina to me." His voice has an edge to it. "She won't get the chance to cause trouble."
"She always causes trouble. It's her middle name Jag. She's not going to let you, Sarah, and Allie be happy. She's going to go crazy. Fucking crazier than she's ever been before." That bitch is unstable at the best of times. She treats Jag like he's her property, anytime those two break up, she marks her territory. Something that Jagger should have nipped in the bud as soon as it happened.
A heavy sigh escapes him, "I know Hudson, God, she's the fucking devil in disguise. That woman was sweet as pie, and then bang." He snaps his fingers, "Turned into a motherfucking headache. She's being cut loose Hudson, I've told her parents, she leaves me alone or she's dead. I'm not playing around anymore. She does one more thing and I'm going to lose the damn plot."
What he means is if she does anything to Sarah or Allie he's going to lose the plot. If she does, it's her funeral. He'll slit her throat without a second thought. Jagger feels the same way about Sarah as I do about Mia. You don't fuck with our women, if you do, it'll be the last thing you do.
The back door to the car opens and Mia climbs in. Her eyes are filled with tears as she scoots all the way over so that her body is pressed against mine. "You okay?" I ask as I put my arm around her shoulder, pulling her even closer to me.
She nods against me, "Yeah, I wish she wasn't alone but there's not much I can do. I offered to travel with her but she said she wanted to be alone." So much sadness in her voice.
"It'll be okay Princess."
She huffs out a breath, "Yeah it'll be okay, there's nothing we can do about death except to put it aside and try and forge a path without them."
What do you say to that? My hand tightens around her shoulder as Martin drives off into the traffic.
"Hey Mia..." Jagger says and I can hear the smile in his voice. "Have you spoken to Sarah today?"
"No, why?" She sounds miserable and I fucking hate it.
"She’ll cheer you up." Jagger tells her with a soft smile.
She sighs, but reaches for her cell and Facetimes Sarah. "Hey, how’s Allie?" Mia asks as Sarah answers. She's not moved from her position against me.
Sarah's smile is bright, "She’s really good, she’s sleeping better now." Sarah beams, "I’ve finally been able to get some sleep."
Mia sits up, "Aww such a good girl." The pride in her voice makes Jagger smile.
"I know, she’s amazing. How are you? I've missed you so much." Sarah says and there are tears in her eyes. "How's Lacey?"
Mia shakes her head, "Not good. she was hurting last night and that fucker Barney didn't help matters." Mia growls.
Sarah raises her eyebrow in question, "Who's Barney, and what did he do?" Damn, what is it with these women? They get this vicious look in their eyes.
"Barney works for Hudson, or his dad. I'm not really sure. He just seems to always be around." Mia comments and I bite the inside of my cheek so I don't laugh.
"Okay, so he's a creeper. What did he do to Lacey?" Sarah asks, her tone has a bite to it, Jagger turns in his seat, so he's looking at us from the front.
"So, Lacey found out about her grandmother at the party last night. Barney was there and gave her a ride home." Mia tells her as she sinks back against me. "So Hudson and I hung out a bit, I knew she was safe," She shrugs, as if she feels that she did something wrong by staying with me instead of going home with Lacey. "When I was going to bed, I spoke to her. She was shattered Sarah. That big jerk had sex with her!"
I smirk, she's making out as if having sex is a bad thing.
Sarah gasps, "He didn't? They had sex? But she was way too upset to do that! I spoke to her last night."
