Chapter 37
Natalia
The next morning the sun woke me. I sat up on the side of the bed and watched Jason sleep so peacefully. I couldn’t believe I had him back. Justin is gonna be so excited to meet and see him. Suddenly Jason’s phone began to ring. He woke up and answered it.
“Hello, Ryan, what’s going on!”
“Jason! Oh my fucking God they are both dead! Ms. Virginia and Robert are both fucking dead!” Ryan said.
“What! Oh, my God that can’t be happening.! What the hell happened down there?”
“Yesterday, Ms. Virginia and Robert were supposed to meet me and Rayna for dinner, but they never showed up! I didn’t think anything of it so then me and Rayna went back home to the ranch and while we were in bed Brooklyn started barking because the fucking house was on fire! Rayna, Brooklyn and I got out just in time before the whole fucking house went up in flames! The fire captain told me it looked like arson and I had a bad fucking feeling, so I went over to Mr. Virginia and Robert’s house and they were both fucking dead, shot in their bed! Who the fuck would do this? Whoever got the drop on Robert had to have been good. He didn’t even have time to reach for his gun. It was still on the nightstand next to the bed. It was a FUCKING EXECUTION. Rayna and I are going to our safe house right now.”
“Ryan, stay safe I will contact you on the secure line. We will have our revenge.” I then slammed the phone down on the bed.
“I know who did this Jason.”
“Who Natalia?”
“My father told me yesterday that Alexi was in Texas handling his part of the job, but I didn’t know it had to do with your family! I swear I’m so sorry!”
Natalia
Jason jumped out of bed and put on his pants quickly. He grabbed his 9mm handgun off the nightstand.
“Natalia, we have to find the rest of the team. Soon if not already your father will know you didn’t complete the rest of your mission. This isn’t a safe place for us. We must go now.”
I got dressed and grabbed my bag. Jason called Ryan on the secure phone.
“Ryan, I’m with Natalia right now.”
“Jason what the fuck are you doing with Natalia? Chase told me she tried to kill you yesterday. Where did she come from, I thought she was dead?”
“Ryan, it’s a long story and I will tell you about it later, but the short version is that Boris Valchek is Natalia’s father and Alexi is her twin brother and they have been planning this attack on us for years! But Natalia warned me they were coming for me and we staged it to look like she had killed me.”
“What the hell Jason? He killed our parents! There is no coming back from that shit. They must die! I’m going to make sure Rayna is safe then I’m flying out to New York once I make sure Ms. Virginia and Robert’s bodies make it to the morgue.
“Okay Ryan. I will call Chase and Nick since they are still here in NYC. Call Maurice and Vince and warn them. Tell them to get here to NYC.”
“Okay Jason, I will meet you at the safe house in Manhattan tomorrow!”
“Okay Ryan, safe travels brother.”
JASON
When I hung up the phone with Ryan tears suddenly began to stream down my face. My unfinished business had finally come back to haunt me and had taken the ones I love as collateral. I couldn’t believe Ms. Virginia and Robert were now dead. Ms. Virginia and Robert had saved me and Ryan all those years ago. If Ms. V had never stopped that day and picked us up, Ryan and I would probably not be alive today. As I sat in the truck consumed in anger and grief, Natalia was right by my side.
“I am so sorry baby. I will do anything to help make this right.”
“You can’t make this right, Natalia! My adopted parents are dead at the hands of your fucking brother and father! I know your father gave him the job too! We are killers and have done some evil shit in our lives and now we are paying the price! The government used us for evil. We have been on the defense against your father and brother and it’s time we go on the offense.”
“What Jason! Why?”
“You are going to go back to your father and brother like everything is normal.”
“I’m scared to leave you again!”
Jason shifted in his seat and leaned his forehead against mine.
“Don’t be afraid baby. I am never leaving your side again. For you are my soul and I would never let you go again! We have to make sure we take care of them once and for all so we can be happy. I will have my revenge!”
“It’s so hard for me Jason, I have been so tortured by them for so long and they have this unbelievable hold over me that I don’t know how to break!”
“Don’t worry, I will break it for you once and for all.
