Mafia Protection

27- A lead

Lexi's P.O.V.

It's been three days since Dad's gone missing. No calls, no letters, no ransoms... nothing! I've talked with Lucas and he confirmed my suspicions. The likely hood of my father still being alive is very unlikely.

My morning sickness is in full force right now and a lot of it is probably my nerves. The media has blown my father's disappearance up and blamed it on Lucas and the mafia.

If they only knew how amazing Lucas was and what he's done for me.

*****
I was sitting in the kitchen with Mom, Helen and Erin talking when Lucas walked in with his men.

"Hi." Leaning in he gave me a kiss, "So since you're going to stop nursing now that you're pregnant, I bought the formula and bottles you wanted, plus some more diapers. Now this... this for my other beautiful girl."

He handed me a cross necklace.

"Babe, this is absolutely beautiful."

"I need to explain this to you though. This has a tracking device in it, so it is to be on you at all times. It can get wet so you can wear it in the shower and then you don't need to worry about forgetting to put it back on. This way if for some reason something happens, I'll be able to get to you fast."

He put it on me. "It will blend in with your other necklaces and it's a good chain so it won't break. I'm sorry I have to do this, I'm just not taking any chances when it comes to your safety."

"I understand, it actually makes me feel a little safer."

"When I kill this fucker, it will come off and I'll buy you a different one and then this one will go on Kennedy forever." He joked, as he started laughing.

"Deal!"

******
Two days later I was in Kennedy's room, giving her a bottle. I just burped her when I noticed my phone was ringing. Giving her a kiss before I laid her down I ran to my phone to see I missed a call from Sam.

I turned on her monitor and headed out the door when it started ringing again. I went into Lucas and my room, answering the call...

"Hello?"

"Lexi?"

It wasn't Sam? "Who is this?"

"This is Grant, sorry to bother you but Sam's not doing very well right now. I think she could use a girlfriend to talk to instead of me right now."

"What happened?"

"She came over to my house because she was approached by a strange man on the street today. She was terrified, I guess he pulled her into the alleyway, put a gun to her head and threatened her. I didn't really understand it all, but she kept saying your name. Do you think you could come talk to her and just try and calm her down? She's scaring me, I've never seen her like this before."

"Yes, I can. I'll be there in a little bit. What's your address?"

After he gave me his address, I hung up the phone and went downstairs. Lucas was in his office when I knocked.

"Come in."

I walked into the office, "Hey babe, sorry to interrupt but Grant just called me on Sam's phone. She was attacked today on the streets and I guess she is a wreck. I'm going to go see if she needs anything, I have a feeling my stalker is the one that attacked here."

"You're not going alone, right?"

"No, I was thinking I could take a few guys with me if you don't need them, I'd ask Kev but he's following a lead right now."

"I don't like you going out, but something tells me with that look in your eyes you want to be there for Sam."

"Well if it was my stalker that attacked her, maybe she could give me a description of him."

"I can go with you also."

"No," I walked over and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I know you're busy and it's probably nothing. If I need you, I'll call."

"I can stop what I'm doing-"

"I promise, it's fine. Finish up here, I'll be home soon. Kennedy just had her bottle and is sleeping. I gave the montor to the Grandma's."

"Be careful, I love you babe. Don't be long, alright."

"I won't and I love you too. I'll text you when I'm on my way back."

*******
Pulling up to the address Grant gave me, I got out.

"Miss, I've been instructed to come in with you." Milo, one of Lucas' guards informed me.

"Alright, what about everyone else?"

"We will stay out here and watch the area ma'am."

"Alright and please, call me Lexi."

******
Knocking on the front door, Grant answered.

"I'm so glad you could come, please come in."

"Grant, this is Milo. He's going to just stand here when I'm with her."

"No problem, she's in that room down the hall." Grant said, pointing me into the direction of Sam.

Luca's P.O.V.

I was still going over business with Ben and my men. Lexi left about twenty minutes ago and I was having a hard time concentrating when I knew she wasn't here.

"Lucas?" Ben said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Hmm, what?"

"Are you listening?

"Damnit. Sorry, I just have a bad feeling right now."

"You have some good men with her, she'll be alright."

I still didn't feel right. Just then I heard my name being yelled outside my office.

We ran out to the kitchen area and Kevin is laying down papers on the island.

"Kev, what's wrong?" I asked, noticing Detective Jack was here also.

"I found something, I called and told Jack to meet me here."

"That's fine."

"So you know how I have been checking out people close to Lexi, friends and acquaintances? I came up empty handed, so I dug a little further. Long story short, do you remember Grant Taylor?"

"What the fuck about him?" I yelled.

Please for the love of God, No!

"He's dating Lexi's friend, Sam. He's also the reporter that followed Tom's political career for years and outed the pictures of you and Lexi. When I looked him up on the database, his name wasn't in there as Grant Taylor."

"That's not totally un-normal though, reporters change their names all the time for privacy reasons." Jack informed us.

"But when I crossed his DNA with the blood sample from Max's murder, it was a perfect match and the name that came back was for a Granton Summers."

"Summers? Jack and I said at the same time.

"Yes, John Summers son."

"FUCKING HELL!"

I was on my phone fast, dialing my men. Nothing...

"FUCK!"

"What the hell is going on?" Kevin asked.

"Lexi is at Grant's house as we speak and my men aren't answering their phones."

"Why is she there?" My father and Chris asked at the same time.

I didn't even respond. I was walking out the door tracking Lexi's location through her necklace. Praising the Lord I got that for her.

We all piled into the SUV and I gave the driver the address.

"That's John's house." Jack informed me.

He better not touch her!
