THE BOY IS MINE

Part 45: AN EYE FOR AN EYE.

Jordan curves his way to another route and he drives towards the other side of the city and he huffs parking the across an abandoned warehouse and takes off his helmet to look around.

Just then Dylan shows up from one of the warehouse's abandoned rooms and whistles, waving at Jordan.
He smirks as he walks towards him and Jordan sighs climbing off the bike to meet him halfway very unpleased to see him. But what other choice does he have? He has to hear him out.

Dylan: Nice Bike, did Daddy buy it for you?
Jordan: Which Daddy?.. Thomas?
He chuckles at that shaking his head, but Dylan quickly brushes off the shock on his eyes. Was Jordan being sarcastic?
Jordan looks back up at Dylan but he holds himself back not ask those questions yet.

Jordan: Look...Petey is your boss not mine and besides I thought that he gave me a month off the hook what changed now? he has to let me go and back off somehow.
Dylan: You can't just wake up and decide to walk out on Petey like that, only Petey gets to decide on that after all he is like a father to you isn't it?
Jordan: Just because Petey dated my mother at some point does not make him any sort of a father figure especially to me, he is-

*"That damn Petey is your father"*

Jordan brushes off that thought.
Jordan: Please don't show up from out of nowhere with Petey and come shit on me like that Dylan, just because he doesn't want to lose a good smuggler like me doesn't mean that he should try to control me. I have my own rules to live by and one of my rules is to make decisions for myself.
He gave me a month off and I am trying by all means to enjoy it...so Petey must find himself another smuggling boy to do his dirty work because I have done my part and so he has to keep his word.

Dylan huffs annoyed and takes out his cigarette for a smoke and then he turns to face Jordan.

Dylan: Boy I am just a messenger don't bite my head off, what the fuck is wrong with you did you have a bad day?

Jordan sighs calming down and glares at Dylan once again.

Jordan: Okay what's up?
Dylan: Jerome is flying back this Friday and he wants you to be on board the soonest. And it won't be like your usual deliveries, Jerome wants you to smuggle guns instead of drugs. Take it as a first try test for you.
Jordan: So should I wait on him to contact me on Friday or does he have some sort of a warehouse?
Dylan: He has a warehouse and he will send Mackenzie to pick you up and take you there.
Jordan sighs and then nods.
Jordan: Okay fine, Friday it is. But you could have said this over the phone.
Dylan: You know that I don't like dealing with business over the phone... Anyways let me get going.

He attempts to walk away but Jordan stops him.

Jordan: Dylan wait..
Dylan: Yes?
Jordan: There is something that has been bothering me that I need to ask you.. it's about Petey.
Dylan: What about Petey?
Jordan takes a slight moment to sigh first and then shrugs looking back up at Dylan.

Jordan: Dylan, How long have you been working with Petey?
Dylan: It's been almost twenty one years if not twenty two, why?
Jordan: When and where did he meet my mother when they started dating?
Dylan shrugs not liking where these questions are going.
Jordan: Tell me the truth Dylan.
Dylan: Why not ask Petey himself he was the one dating your mother isn't it?
Jordan: Yeah I know but you are his right hand man so I suppose that you know everything.
Dylan: No I am not supposed to know everything, why are asking me this anyways? Is your father digging on your mother's history to know how she went by without him?
Jordan: That's the thing, is he even my father?...I just don't know what to believe anymore.
Dylan chokes on his cigarette and coughs out countless times hitting his chest.
Jordan: You know the truth Dylan so please be honest with me.... Is Petey my father?

It goes silent and Dylan looks for a way out of this but there is no way out, he has to face Jordan and his questions.

Jordan: You know what forget it... It's fine you can go Dylan you are not the one with the answers. Petey owes me the truth, not you... I should get going.
Dylan nods at that and then sighs watching Jordan walking back to his bike before taking out his phone to text Petey.

*Dylan: Fuck Petey... It didn't even take him at least a year to figure it out, the boy is suspicious about you being his father and he is sniffing around. You need to do some damage control man or else blood will be spilled here.*

He sends the message and then huffs shaking his head.
Dylan: This is fucked up.

Jordan drives straight home in high speed, he thinks about Dylan's expression as it confirmed everything to him about the truth. And right now he can't be anywhere else but home.

He eventually arrives home and immediately rushes inside with his helmet still on his head,  He marches down the hallway and he takes off his helmet walking into Rose who is cooking in the kitchen.

Rose: Ow hey there you are, I have been looking all over for you.
Jordan: Rose we need to talk, like a serious talk you and I.
Rose nervously turns to him but yet plants up a smile but Jordan folds his arms and glares at her.
Jordan: I will ask this once and you better tell me the truth.
Rose: O-kay... What is it?
Jordan: Did someone buy you and Thomas to live with me and pretend like he is my father?

It goes silent and Rose gasps in shock but quickly tries to brush it off with faint smiles.

Jordan: Don't you dare think about lying to my face Rose I know the whole truth... I know the whole fucking truth. You two lied to me Rose, you deceived me and you put up with all of this charade was just for money? EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH, ALL OF IT WERE ONLY FOR A FUCKING MONEY?
Rose gets teary and joins her hands to plead with him. But Jordan sighs defeated and he brushes his forehead to calm down.
Rose: I am so sorry Jordan, I just-...
Jordan: At what time is Thomas knocking off today?
Rose: He-...he will be home at any moment now.
Jordan: Good, I'll go get my axe sharpened so long.
With that he walks away leaving Rose to her tears.
She quickly looks for her phone and calls Thomas..

Rose: Hey Jimmy, you better not come back home right now. Jordan knows the truth and he will kill us both for lying to him... He is really enraged so you better make a U-turn... I will take the money and I will meet you somewhere okay?

"Okay okay just hurry and get out of there, don't pack your clothes please."

Rose huffs running upstairs to make a run for it..
Jordan marches inside his room and paces around in circles.
Tears get the better of him that he starts thrashing things around.

Jordan: I will kill him... I will kill Petey!
