i've went and did my scoping job of the place. now it's time to actually pull off the job. and we do. i grab more ignoring pope. if i'm doing this shit it's going to be fucking worth it. we make it out. pope asks "what were you thinking" as we paintball. "i was thinking i'd actually make the job worth the risk" he sighs "you worry me" i tell him "im on my meds if that's what you're wondering" shooting deran. he says "im glad. how's your sobriety" i shrug "has its days" he nods "im proud of you." i nod and we finish up.

when we get home craig and i shower and head out. i glare at nicky. and she adverts her eyes. craig chuckles "cmon killa" "sweetheart can we talk?" smurf asks. i nod and say "be out in a bit babe" and kiss craig and he nods "love you" i ask "what's wrong?" seeing her face. she mutters "it's catherine" i ask "what about her? she's Baz's problem not mine" she replies "she took money from behind the wall...and now Lena said her friend lets her play with his siren and they talk all the time. she's talking to the cops. which is all of our problem" shit. i sigh "after the last time you said i was done" referring to the people she's had me kill throughout the years. she says "i know. and you know pope won't do it. he still loves her"

i ask "what do you think he'll do to me if he finds out smurf?" she replies "nothing. you're his sister." i shake my head "with my sobriety and the shit i've been through i am not doing this smurf. i can't. it'll-" she cuts me off "don't you want revenge? she came in, flashed her pussy and Baz left you for it. again. Lena should be your child not hers" "i'm happy now smurf. with craig. happier than i've ever been with Baz. i'm glad i never got pregnant by him. i might not even be able to get pregnant by anyone with the way my body works. but i'm sure as shit that it didn't happen with Baz. he raped me. Cath did what she did and now she has to live with him. that's enough revenge for me" i tell her.

"kill her or we all go down. she's a rat" she tells me. "pope won't. we both know it. the more she talks to this cop the better their case gets. and the more shit they find to lock us up for" she continues. "and what about her kid?" i ask going numb. i have no choice. she's talking to a fed. "adopt her for all i care." she shrugs. i reply "baz is still alive. i wouldn't be able to do that even if i wanted to" "then we'll take care of her. she's family" smurf says. "get the job done" she tells me and i nod. i go to the fridge and down a beer. and another. and another "thought you weren't drinking ma" it's J. i shrug "really needed it" he asks "everything okay?" taking the half empty bottle of beer from me.

"no. but it will be" i say stroking his cheek. he tells me "the teacher i told you about? she's talking...im talking.." i look at him as if hes insane "i dont know anything. i'm feeding them bullshit. i'm sleeping with her. making her believe she has me. but she doesn't." i say "j you're 17. it's rape" i cup his face "are you okay?" guess i have to kill two people. he nods "im alright. promise" i nod and kiss his head "i'll be back"

he says "ma? ma!" as he follows me to my bike. i peel out of the driveway and head to that address. i get off my bike. i head to her door and knock loudly. the door opens and i give her a fake smile "alexa anderson?" she says "yes? what's this-" i punch her and i say "im joshua cody's mother" with a smirk. she says "his mothers dead" "his birth mother" i snap and kick her over. "and imagine my surprise when i find out you fucked my 17 year old son" she stands "he didn't say no" i hit her again and snap "you raped him. you are an adult! his fucking teacher at that! you fucking predator!" throwing her over her couch.

i jump over the couch and start hitting her. "FBI!" fucking hell. i chuckle "oh you wired up bitch" as im handcuffed. i snap "arrest her! she fucked my 17 year old son! she's a fucking pedophile!" but they don't listen. i have a few people that are higher in the ranks than they are that will. i shout to the neighborhood that's watching "ALEXA ANDERSON FUCKS TEENAGERS!" repeatedly. i'm put in the backseat and taken to the station. i smile as they chain me to a interrogation table "im going to cut to the chase. i'm not answering shit you ask me. because i know it's not about me beating up a teacher. it's about the fact that she's wired up. you're holding her freedom over her head and you've talked to a 17 year old without a lawyer or guardians present which is illegal. it's about the Cody's, and your hard on for em. i want my phone call now." she nods and hands me a phone. i call her and everyone here's superior. "hey Hal. i'm uh locked up" he asks "what did ya do now kid?" i chuckle "your agent...yates? she's juicing a teacher for information on my family. said teacher leeched on to j. my son. she raped him in the process. these agents have been talking to my son illegally. no guardians or lawyers present. i'm locked up here for reacting to the news of my 17 year old being fucked by his wired up teacher" he's pissed "what the fuck? they're supposed to be investigating a different case down there! not you! or them! put Yates on the phone" i nod "will do" with a smile.

i hand her the phone "he wants to talk. didn't sound too good" with a laugh. Hal Vedder. head of the FBI. i was in lock up and he approached me for a job for my freedom bout a week in. knowing my skill set. i saved his life on the job and well...he's been helping me out ever since as payment. record got scrubbed clean which is why i dont have a record. they dont know i got locked up and shit. tried to get hal to help with pope but with what happened he couldn't just not do it. but i made sure pope was protected inside.

i laugh hearing him scream at her and her say "yes sir" "it was a better case so i investigated- im sorry i disobeyed you sir" she says. "yes sir" "my badge and gun will be returned sir" she replies and hangs up and i whistle "that did not sound good. he fired ya! damn" laughing. she unlocks the cuffs and says "you're free to go" "one last act of service? for me? lock the druggie pedophile up!" i say and she nods "yes maam" i

"what? he tell ya to show me respect and follow orders like a good dog?" she nods. i pat her shoulder "it's nothin personal Yates...it's just...you came after my family and let this grown woman fuck my son. you'll understand when Devon is older than a year old" she freezes and says "you-" i ask "what? you thought i wouldn't look into you? who you are? what you do? the only thing worse than being a fed is being a dirty one. and you...are one dirty bitch Yates" leaving and i grab my stuff. my phone rings "hello?" it's pope. "i did it" what? "pope?" i ask "i did what smurf asked you" he killed cath for me. fuck. "where" i ask. he replies "sent you location" i nod "okay" and i hang up and go there. i help him dispose of her.

i say "pope it wasn't on you to do this" grabbing his hand. he tells me "it wasn't on you either. especially now with your sobriety." i reply "you loved her." taking out my ringing phone. it's Craig. i say "hello?" "babe i've been calling you! where are you? j said you were pissed off and left and that you might be in trouble" he says worried. i curse "tell him i'm fine. tell him not to worry about that problem of his i have it handled" pope looks at me confused and he sighs "you sure you're okay?" i nod "yeah. i'm fine. pope came and found me. everything's fine craig" he sighs "thank god. i love you babe...come home soon" i nod "be home soon. i love you" and i hang up. pope asks "why'd you leave all pissed off?"

i say "listen to the full story first" he nods "of course. whatever ya say is taken to my grave" and i tell him everything. the teacher. Yates. Hal. how Hal and i met. how he got protection inside. away from that cellmate of his. how i've maintained a clean record. it's freeing. he says "you worked with the feds?" "just enough to get my freedom and get them...him...to owe me his life so i can use it to my advantage and i have" i tell him.

he nods "smart girl. yknow smurf would flip" i sigh "im not a rat. when i asked for your release i said what you were accused of..not that you actually did it. his hands were tied considering the fame of the case and how bad it'd look if he were to let you walk. but i got you protection" he takes my hand as we dig "i know you're not a rat. you're the most loyal person i've ever known. i'm just saying...if smurf finds out...she ain't gonna be happy" i nod "i know. but he doesn't ask questions passed the information he needs to pull his weight and strings. he's a good thing to have" he nods "and i agree. i just hope you know what you're doin. and good on you for fucking up that teacher, getting the feds fired and away from here and off our backs" i nod "yeah i just couldn't let her get away with what she did to J"

we finish and i get on my bike and we drive to the house. i hugged by j tightly. he asks "you okay? i saw you get arrested" craig asks "you were arrested" i sigh "im fine J." he asks "why are your hands bleeding?" "because i beat her ass. i'm fine" kissing his head. going inside and up to the room knowing craig is going to come and ask questions.

"you ran off. told me you were with pope and i found out you were arrested and fought someone? babe what is going on?" he says his eyes worried. i tell him the truth. all of it. not wanting secrets. he nods "glad you're okay and had ways to help pope and yourself out of shit. that teacher deserved it. come here" i do and he kisses me deeply and i melt into him as he pulls me closer to him our chests touching. i thread my fingers in his hair and he mutters "i don't want ya feeling like you have to hide shit from me. if there's anything else to tell me...say it now. i'm an open book. i want you to know you can be one with me...it's us against everything else" i say "you can't say anything to anyone" he says "you know i'd never betray you saying what you say to me in confidence to anyone else" i kiss him and let him know about how i killed for smurf before growing up. the effects it's had on me...her asking me to kill cath and why...and that it's been done. i leave pope out of it" he whistles "shit babe" and hugs me to him he makes me look at him "no more. no matter what smurf says. no more" i nod "no more"
