deuxième amour

X -blood red lipstick-

Aldrin Ledger

We found another note we were looking over the building of our west headquarters. it resulted in me having to travel from North Carolina to Utah.

As Lily is due soon, carl couldn't come with me, but that didn't mean he didn't put guards to babysit me.

Dear Aldrin,

do clean your throne for me. i don't like dust. i like shiny things, you know as us girls do.

and this is for your own sake- remember some lapdogs bite too

tell Nathan I will be visiting him soon

much love

below that was a, blood red  lipstick mark

this woman was really something. I've seen many women take control of mafias, have dealt with many, but they were nothing compared to her.

"they didn't kill anyone" carl pointed out.

i rolled my eyes "how does that help in anything"

"it might help us in the future. what do you think she meant by the Lapdog?"

"exactly what i said, there's a mole in our system, from now i want some handpicked men to know about whats going on with this case, got it?"

"yes sir" with that he hung up

i sat down in my office here in Utah. it was night now and i have been dealing with this shit all day, but who knew all it could take was a message to give me some energy

fayre- just landed

fayre- can i call you? or are you asleep?

i immediately called her

"why would i be asleep, its 8 pm?" i asked. she giggled and i smiled for the first time in 24 hours

"you seem like the type to go to bed early, you know like a grandpa" she seemed in a good mood

"well im not, are you home safely?" i ask. she laughs again making me wonder if she is drunk

"no i am in the cab right now, im getting out. im taking my bags out, im walking inside the building"

"are you drunk?" i ask. she gave a dramatic gasp

"of course not! im still 20......wait no i turned 21, 2 days ago, welp" i still cant tell if she was drunk

"what did you drink-" she shushed me before speaking to someone

"hi, i was wondering if there are any packages for me, Fayre Perkinns"

"ok im back" she said into the phone

"i was asking- what did you drink on the plane?" i asked and she was quiet for a while

"um- i had a juice i think" if she didn't drink, she was spiked. holy hell, it has to be done by the Ophidians

"Aldrin i promise im sober, look i am petting my cat perfectly" she said

"fayre you dont have a cat" on my other phone i was already texting carl to send some security over to hers

"i don't? why not?" she whined. ok she is definitely anything but sober

"ok i need you to lock your doors and windows and don't open it for anyone got it?" she giggled

"aye aye captain" after a few minutes she spoke again "doneeeee" she sang
