“What are you thinking?”
“We stay on course. If this were me, I’d have a road block set in place and have them abandon their plan, have them move somewhere else and then ambush. We know this route, we have men all over this place. Call your men and have them gather there, if they want to fight, we’re doing it where we choose.”
“Damn, you’re your father’s son. That’s for fucking sure. I’ll call my men. Look, Boy, no one is going to get your girl. We’ll make sure of it,” he says and I believe him.
“Good and, John, call me boy again, I’ll take your fucking head off,” I growl, I fucking hate being called boy. I end the call, not giving the fucker a chance to apologize. He’s said it and I’ve corrected him, he says it again and I’ll make him regret it.
I put Jagger and my dad in a conference call, they’re on speaker and Mia can hear everything. I know that she’ll be scared but her hearing this conversation will mean that she’ll know what to do if it is indeed someone trying to take me down. “There’s a roadblock ahead. Roadworks apparently,” I inform them and see Mia shifting in her seat. I rest my hand on her leg and she instantly calms.
“Okay, so do we go another route?” Jagger asks.
“No, if this asshole t
hinks like I do, they’ll expect us to move to a different route. That’s not happening. We have men along this route, enough to make sure whoever this fucker is he won’t see it coming.”
“He’s right, we have enough men to outgun them. That is if this is a setup, if it is, I don’t see the rat being here. I don’t see him having the guts to be somewhere where he could easily be identified.”
“We’re going ahead with the plan. Jagger, if shit goes down, go for Mia. That is your only job, keep Mia safe. Get her to a safe place.”
“Boss…” He’s hesitant, this isn’t what he signed up for. He was meant to make sure that nothing happens to me. That is no longer the case.
“Jagger, Mia is the most important thing to Hudson. So if bullets start flying, get Mia the hell away from there,” Dad reiterates what I’ve said. It’s good finally having him behind me.
“Fine,” he grits out, I know he hates it, not only does he not like the thought of me being shot at, but also at the thought of missing out on the action.
“Okay, keep your eyes open. Make sure you have your weapons ready. If this goes down, there’s no waiting.” I end the call and reach for my gun. “Mia, you doing okay?” I ask softly.
“Not really, what if he’s here, Hudson?” Her breathing starts to get shallow.
“Mia, look at me.” I tell her, my voice calm, but forceful. She doesn’t even hesitate, her head turns and I see the tears shining in her eyes, and I follow as one lone tear makes its way down her cheek and onto her chest. “If he’s here, he’s not going to get to you. I won’t let him, Jagger is going to be your personal security detail.”
She sucks in a deep breath. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”
I hide my smile, damn she’s cute. “I’ll be fine. Mia, if anything happens, I need you to do as I say, I need you to go with Jagger and do as he tells you.”
She opens her mouth, no doubt to argue.
I snap, I’m doing this for her safety. “Look Mia, whoever is after me isn’t going to care who gets caught in the crossfire. I need you to do as I ask and go with Jagger. If not, I’m going to be focused on you when I should be focused elsewhere.”
Her eyes widen and I think I see a hint of guilt flash through them. “Of course, I’ll do as you say. I’m hoping that it’s just a roadblock and nothing else.”
“We’re almost there so we’re about to find out.”
“I love you, Hudson,” she whispers as she leans across the center console and places a soft kiss against the corner of my mouth.
I turn my head and press a hard chaste kiss against her lips. “I love you too, Princess, nothing is going to harm you.”
“I know.” She doesn’t sound as though she believes it. I guess after everything that fucker did to her tells her differently.
Tires squeal and my focus turns to the road. Shit, it’s going down. Turning back to Mia, her eyes full of worry, she’s wringing her hands together, and it’s something I’ve noticed she does when she’s nervous. “It’s going to be okay, remember what I said?” I say to her, getting her attention. She nods. “Go to Jagger and do exactly as he says.” I remind her, I know she doesn’t want me to leave her, I can see she’s toying with arguing with me but she decides against.
I watch as Healy’s men exit their cars, their guns drawn and ready to fight. This is it, I finally get to see the bastard who betrayed me, the fucker who hurt the woman I love. “See you soon, Princess.” I murmur as I exit the car and draw my gun.
“Son, Jagger’s got Mia, they’ll be leaving soon. We’re good to go.” His tone has an edge of excitement to it. It's been a while since he's had any action
Gun shots ring out from at least three different locations. “You’ve got some fucking balls to be taking us on here,” I shout, the Healy men smiling at my words.
John Healey walks towards me a big smile on his face, he too has his gun drawn. “Fucking assholes must have balls. Now, it’s time to show them whose boss. You don't fucking mess with us, and you certainly don't take our women.”
