Killionaires | Jake Webber

Part Three

You kept thinking about the kiss.

Maybe overthinking it?

You kept thinking about how soft and gentle it was. How you expect it to be rough and dominating but instead, it was total opposite, which kind of throws you through a loop.

He's a killer, but does he have a soft spot for me? Why would he do that, to prove a point maybe?

"Y/n." Cody reaches over and lays his hand on yours, "You didn't take some of her pain meds before you came did you?"

Oh right, we're at dinner, "No. no. I didn't sleep well last night and then I tried taking a nap earlier after we got back from the station and that.." you shake your head, "Sorry. I've been itching to get back to work and-"

"Well what do you want to know?" Cody leans back, "I'm pretty well caught up on it, so maybe I can help fill you in on what you think you don't know."

You smile, "Yes. Work talk would be great right n-"

Your attention is taken away from Cody, and placed onto Sam who is sitting at the bar.

"What is it?" Cody asks, slowly turning his head to look over. Sam turns around right as Cody looks at him, and with a saving grace, Ben and Nat walk in, giving you the perfect excuse, "Sorry. It's my brother and Nat."

"Ben and Nat? I was wondering when they were going to reconnect."

"You knew?!" You look at Cody, laughing slightly, "Like for certain you knew?"

He shrugs, "I mean, you can read it off of them from a mile away."

"That's what I said! Well, something like that." You laugh, glancing back over towards Sam. He raises his glass to you, giving you a wink before standing up to move somewhere else.

If he's here, then that means one of the others is here, too.

And you'd be correct.

He meets Johnnie down at the other end, but you turn your attention back to Cody, "So.. work. Sorry."

He shakes his head, giving you a smile, "You're good, sweetheart. Ask away."

"Have the families of the men who are a part of that plan to take down the hospital moved into P.C yet?"

You look at Cody as he shakes his head, almost looking disappointed, "No. Since the murders have been happening in the east side of town, they-"

"They're waiting until one of them finally loses a husband. A father. A grandfather?" You roll your eyes, "Please. They have all the -"

"Y/n. I've been trying. Ever since you said something to me about it in the hospital. A lot of the men, who I have called myself, laughed and said let them come. They think they can take down these assholes themselves. No matter how much we push or try, it's really on them."

"That's actually.." you stop, taking in a deep breath, "I'll talk to the chief myself about that. I'll go door to door myself if I have to." You take a long sip from your glass, "Do you think there's more to Ben getting shot?"

Cody takes a sip of his drink and tilts his head, "I'm going to need you to elaborate a little bit more. I'm not sure I'm following."

"Do you think that there was just one shooter? Was this a part of the.. Killionaires?"

Cody is quiet for a moment before leaning in, "Y/n. If he was a target for those assholes.." He sighs, "I hate to say this, but I think you'd be a target, too."

"Are you saying you think the accident was from them?" You take a sip of your wine and raise your brows as he doesn't answer, "You do."

"I didn't say that." Cody shakes his head, "What.." He sighs, "What I'm saying is, I don't know what or who caused our accident, and if you think there's something more about Ben shooting then take it up with the chief."
