I really don’t want her to cry, it’ll just make me want to kill people I shouldn’t.
Taking a deep breath, Lennon stares at the phone. “Okay, let’s do this,” she mutters.
Jordan is programmed into this phone, so she presses his number, and she puts him on speaker when he picks up.
“Orion? Is everything alright? When am I going to see my niece? You all have been hiding her away forever. Are things safer yet?”he asks.
“Uncle Jordan? Would you prank James for me if I asked?” Lennon asks softly.
“Lennon?” Jordan says, shocked. “What did my bastard brother do, and how bad do you want it to hurt?”
She starts to cry softly, swallowing hard to rein it in. Somehow, she keeps the tears out of her voice, even as they stream down her face.
“We can’t find my mother, and we’re eliminating anyone who is a danger to me,” Lennon says slowly, and I know it’s to keep her voice clear and measured.
“Why are you talking funny?” Jordan growls.
“I’m trying not to let you hear me cry, so you can understand me,” Lennon sighs.
“Fuck, you and your sister are so damn alike,” he sighs. “So, getting me up to speed, your mother wasn’t caught yet? Greg has been keeping me in the loop with as much as he can.”
Lennon nods, even though he can’t see her. “Yes. We got a lead though, but it’s not exact enough. My mom’s parents apparently live in Connecticut, and Prescott told me that’s where she would go if things went badly. I thought,” she takes a shuddering breath, her teeth gritting together. “Uh, I thought, if I called him and told him the truth that he’d tell me where they lived. Or maybe my mom had told him. Instead, he told me I was mentally unstable and needed help because my mother was dead.”
“Fucking dickface,”Jordan grumbles and I can’t help but smirk at his words. “I’m going to put in twelve unpaid parking tickets under his name, and an all-points bulletin for him to be taken into the nearest police station for missing a court hearing for public indecency. James is driving as he scouts for talent. When he’s arrested, he’ll be forced to call me. Want to go with me to visit your father in jail?”
Lennon smirks, letting her head fall back on the head rest. “That sounds perfect, thank you. I knew he was self-centered, but being called unstable really fucked with me after everything. Uncle Jordan… I really don’t like him,” she confesses.
“You don’t have to like him,”Jordan assures her. “I don’t typically either. I’m going to get to work on this now, see if I can put in a note that he likes to keep hidden objects in his ass so he’s strip searched. No one fucks with my niece. And Lennon?”
She’s grinning from ear to ear now, her tears beginning to dry on her cheeks. “Yeah?” she asks.
“You’re one of the strongest women that I know. I’ll see you soon, your sister wants to talk to you soon too, okay?”Jordanreminds her.
“Yeah,” she murmur. “We started chatting, but I fucked up and it wasn’t a secure line. I’ll be sure to call her. Thank you, Uncle Jordan. Bye.”
Lennon hangs up after he says goodbye and she looks more relaxed.
“Any bets on James getting strip searched in the very near future?” she asks with a grin.
“Oh, fuck yeah,” I say enthusiastically, and Orion snickers.
“James is a stupid fucker, and he’s about to realize he made a very grave mistake,” he says with a shrug. “We’re almost at the holding facility, guys. They have us booked into a room, and are taking care of cleanup for us. Are you ready for this, little girl?”
Lennon lets a delicious shiver move over her body as she looks at Orion. “Yeah, baby. Take care of her pesky tongue for me. I have shit to work out with Nurse Ratched.”

I was upset after I spoke to my father, and now I’m a jumble of emotions after talking to Jordan. As I start walking towards the gray building with the guys, Orion pulls me into his arms from behind.
“We’re going to do something real quick before we go in. Can you be a good girl and humor me?” he asks.
Orion drags his nose up my neck, and I’m struck by how inappropriate this is. He’s rarely this cuddly, so the guards at their posts can deal with it.
“Yes, Daddy,” I tease him, turning my mouth to kiss him. It feels wild and really fucking hot as he dominates my lips.
“Hmm, I don’t know if that’s my kink yet, but it could be,” he chuckles. “I have some things I want to try with you soon, but first, I want your eyes to close.”
I let my eyelids shut, being a good girl as he asked.
