Chapter 117
Romeo
Before Jenn got in the SUV, she started to look around her, probable looking if someone who looks suspicious or will be following us, she had me paranoid as well so I had a look before I got in the SUV. I took her hand in mine and within minutes she was sleeping, that gave me time to talk to Lucas. “Lucas any news on Sebastian?” “No boss his still hiding no one have seen him.” “And any of our vehicles been followed the past 3 days?” “Nothing yet boss.” “Okay.” I took my phone and started to look at my e-mails, I saw one from Sebastian it didn’t come from him but I knew it was him it only said “I will get to you.” “Fuck” “What’s wrong boss?” I looked over at Jenn making sure she was still sleeping. “E-mail from Sebastian.” “Isn’t his communication being monitored.” “Yes, but this is from another account it just says “I will get to you.” “I don’t understand boss what is his beef with you?” “Fuck Lucas I don’t know either. I just cancelled a shipment because I knew it was a trap that’s all and now all this. Maybe his deal he wanted to make with the DEA is falling through because I cancelled the shipment. That’s the only thing I can think off.” “Well boss don’t panic but we are being followed again.” “No not again, just drive normally Lucas they know where we stay it won’t help, we take changes not now not with Jenn in the car.” “Okay boss.”
The car followed us all the way home. I wished I had a way to get in contact with Sebastian, maybe I should just call the DEA myself but then they will know I do business with Sebastian and I didn’t want that. I should just deal with Sebastian like I would normally as a Mafia boss deals with people. I just need to be patient. When Lucas stopped at the house, I woke Jenn up “Jenn we’re home.” “Really?” she asked. “Yes, Jenn you’ve fallen asleep.” “Oh, my goodness I must still be tired.” “No problem let me get you to bed.” I quickly got out of the SUV and moved to her door where I picked her up and carried her into the house. “I can walk Romeo.” She said. “Isn’t nice to be carried?” I joked with her. “Yes, it is.” She laid her head on my shoulders and I carried her to the room where I put her under the duvet covers. “Now you can sleep without anyone bothering you. That hospital was just too noisy.” “Thank you, Romeo.” “It’s my pleasure Jenn, let me go and get you something to eat before you sleep.” “No, I’m okay I’m going to sleep first if you don’t mind.” “Off course not I’ll be in my office please don’t walk down the stairs alone, just call me when you want to come down okay?” “Okay.” “Promise me Jenn.” “Okay I promise. I knew her and I also knew she like to be in depended so I had to make sure she will listen to me. “Okay I’ll see you in a little while.” I gave her a kiss on the forehead closed the block out curtains making the room dark and walk out of the room. When I closed the door I gave a huge sigh, it was a sigh of relieve, she’s home and safe and this is where I’ll keep her for a while. I made a mental note that I had to call Eleanor and tell her what happened they probable wondering were Jennifer where.
When I walked into my office Eleanor was the first person I called “Romeo how are you?” she answered the phone so chipper. “Hi Eleanor actually not so good. I know you haven’t seen Jenn for the past 2 days I just want to let you know she was in a car accident; we are out of hospital but she has a concussion and a broken arm.” “Oh my.” “Yes, that is bad. I take it we can leave the bakery in your capable hands?” “Yes, off course, everything is going well here. She really doesn’t have to worry I’m looking after her baby like it was my own.” “Good thank you Eleanor.” “Send Jen all our love please Romeo.” “I will.” I disconnected the call and looked at my bar area ‘Was it to early for a drink?’ I had so many things I needed to sort out but I need a plan with Sebastian and I need a good plan. I need him out of our lives and quickly. I looked at my watch it was just past 11 “Fuckit” I said out load and poured myself a glass. I walked up and down drinking my glass of scotch and wondering what the fuck I’m going to do. Will I get my friend at the Feds in to help me or the Miami Police department. I decided to go with the Feds. I dialed Francois number and it just rang no one answered. Clearly, he was busy. So, I decided to wait for him to call me back.
I looked at my e-mails and saw one from Brad. He sent me all the documents I wanted and even more. Clearly, he was trying to make up for the fuck up of the other night. But it’s going to take much more for us to forgive him of that I was very sure. I went through the documents he sent me. I was deep in thought because something in these papers didn’t make sense, I mean I know how to launder money but clearly someone was doing it in Brad’s business and I can say with a 100% certainty he didn’t know about it. ‘Fuck Brad you have someone stealing from you and someone laundering money.’ I said out load. It’s going to take a lot of my time to get this sorted out. While I was making notes about all the problems in Brad’s business, my phone rang. “Francois thank you for getting back to me.” “Sorry I was busy in a meeting.” “Do you have time for a meeting with me?” “I can make a plan when?” “Tonight say 9 and used the secret tunnel I have people watching my house.” “Fuck, Romeo law enforcement?” “No that’s what I want to speak to you about.” “Okay I’ll be there at 9.” “Later.” I disconnected the call then I heard Jenn at the steps, “Romeo!” She called out.
