Chapter 106

Elijah

I was standing outside the bakery very vigilant; someone is putting tracking devices on our cars and we had no idea who it is. Boss thinks it’s the DEA I’m not sure it could be any rival family. When Jenn came out and told me we were going shopping I wasn’t over the moon I wanted to go home to make sure she’s safe or even in her bakery she will be safe there as well, not so much in a vehicle but boss didn’t want her to know we where being followed. We drove to the first place she wanted to go when I looked in my mirror, I saw a big black SUV on our tail I tried to make a lot of turns to make sure this SUV was actually following us and yes, he was. I couldn’t believe Jennifer didn’t notice I was taking a longer route to the store she wanted to go to but she was busy making notes in her book. I must say I was very happy about that. When we stopped at the store the SUV actually pulled of the road and watched us, I couldn’t believe it they didn’t make it a secret they were following us. While Jenn was in the store, I called Boss “Elijah?” He answered “Boss we are being followed.” “What?” “Yes, and they are not making a secret about it they are actually standing right across the street looking at us.” “You not serious.” “Sorry boss I am.” “Get Jenn back at the house now. And call Lucas an tell him.” “Yes boss.” “Romeo disconnected the call then I called Lucas “Hi Lucas.” “What’s wrong Elijah.” “We are being followed.” Then Jennifer was standing right in front of me asking me “Followed?” “Sorry Lucas I need to go.” “Yes, get in the car.” I quickly got Jenn in the car Boss will have my head if something happens to her.

When she was safely in the car the questions started “Do you know who is following us?” “No, I just know they are not hiding the fact that they are following us.” “And this is happening from the bakery?” That one caught me a bit off guard this means she did notice. “Yes” “Why didn’t you tell me Elijah?” “I didn’t want you to worry and most importantly boss didn’t want you to worry.” “What if it’s just my dad?” “I don’t think so Jennifer.” “Where are we going?” “Boss wants you at home where you are safe.”

Jennifer

I knew something was happening I mean I’ve been followed before this is not the first time but normally, I lost them but if Elijah says this people didn’t mind us knowing they were following us it means it’s something different. I didn’t argue I got in the car and we were on our way home. Clearly, I’m going to do business on the phone today. When we got home there where guards at the gate opening it and closing it as soon as we where inside clearly the electronics of the gate took to long for them. When Elijah stopped in front of the door there were guards shielding me from whatever I didn’t know maybe bullets, ‘Fuck what was going on.’ I thought. As soon as I stepped into the house Romeo was at my side pulling me to him for a hug. “You, okay?” “I’m okay Romeo, what’s going on?” “I’m not sure yet.” “Are you lying to me?” “No darling I’m not lying to you. Let’s go to my office if they are dragging you into this, I think you should know what’s going on.” I wanted to make a very sarcastic remark but I decided against it. We walked into Romeo’s office I took a seat in front of him and he went to sit at his desk. He just looked at me probable deciding what to say and what not to say. “Spit it out Romeo.” “I’m not sure I’m waiting for my contact form the FBI to tell me if there is something to worry about.” “You think it’s the cops following us?” I asked in shock I mean they won’t’ be this obvious, would they? “I don’t know one of my suppliers is being followed by the DEA I’m starting to think he wants to get me in a trap to make a deal with the DEA his freedom for me.” “Do you really think the DEA will be so obvious Romeo. Because I don’t think so. This is someone that wants you to know you are being followed, who else can it be?” Romeo got quiet for a while thinking. “It could be Sebastian’s cousin I cancelled a drop they forced on me. It just didn’t feel right.” “Well then it’s probable them.” “I first want to make sure it’s not the DEA or FBI or any other law enforcement Jenn I’m not taking chances.” “You do know if it is law enforcement, they wouldn’t do anything to me on the streets right. I’ll put my whole bakery on the fact that it’s Sebastian’s cousin or someone else you pissed of except my dad. This is too theatrical for him.”

Romeo

I was listening to what Jenn was saying and she was making a lot of sense I couldn’t see the DEA being so forward as to sit right in front of Elijah while Jenn was in the store but who else did I pissed off that is the problem. I can piss of a lot of people in a short amount of time. My phone rang when I looked at the caller ID, I saw it was Francois “This is my contact now?” I told Jenn. “Francois give me good news.” I said. “I’ll lay low with the illegal stuff Romeo he is trying to give you up, but they are not following you yet, he didn’t have enough evidence to give them, that is why he tried to set you up.” “I knew it. But if it’s not the DEA or the FBI following me who the fuck can it be?” I asked him. “I just know it’s none of us I hope this helps.” “A lot thank you Francois.” “Anytime.” When I disconnect the call, I gave a big sigh “So what did he say?” “It’s not them following us. And I should keep my hands clean for a while the buy Friday was a trap, he wants to give me up.” “Fuck Romeo what now?” “Now I keep my hands clean until this whole thing blows over.” “And the men following us?” “Well, we will have to be very strategic and let them follow us into a trap, but somewhere law enforcement won’t go.” “Like deep in the dessert?” Jenn asked “That is a good idea.” “You have any business in the dessert?” I asked her with a smile on my face. “Unfortunately, not.” I walk over to her help her of the chair and held her to me hugging her. “I’ll never use you for something like this darling.” “I know but I will help you anytime especially after you gave me Vera Wang’s number.” “So, you called her.” I asked as I looked her in the eyes. Her eyes where sparkling, “Yes I did and I’ll have my dress within the next week.” “That is the best news I’ve heard the whole day.” “Oh, not that it’s not the DEA following you?” She laughed “No if it was them, we knew what to do but now we need to find out who is following us.”
