Jacksons POV

While Abby decided to get dressed, I got to work investigating this Moreno guy.

I also have to get a better idea of what was going on with Celeste at the time. I gotta find out who made the call to their parents, whether it was Celeste or if they were tricked into thinking it was a hospital or police station calling them.

As I'm typing away my phone rings. It's Sergio.

"Yeah." I huff out.

"Boss, the body doubles hired to be you and Abigail" I cut him off.

"What about them?"

"Dead." Is all he says. My eyes drag up from the keyboard of my laptop to stare at nothing in front of me. I slowly sit back in my chair pinching the bridge of my nose.

"What the fuck happened Serge? We've been gone less then a day."

"That's the fucked up part. Not long after you guys left, I had your doubles leave out the front door and take your Bentley. They were ambushed." I lean forward as my heart rate picks up. I can hear my pulse in my ears, it's beating so hard.

Who the fuck would do this? "Three blocks from the office building. You can see for yourself from the dash cam. I sent you the footage. They were cutoff by a black work van, and then two more pull up from what we can see." I go to my email clicking on the cam footage. Sure enough the van pulls in front of them and stops. Not even seconds later two pull up on either side and a dozen men surround the Bentley with AR's and begin firing. They didn't stand a chance. "After firing off a few hundred rounds they all hopped back in their vans and took off. None of them had back plates, so there's no way to directly identify who ordered or carried this out. It's gonna take time to figure this out." Abby walks in with a book in her hands and I've never been so happy that she wasn't into watching TV.

"What about the Media?" I look away from Abby and lower my voice. I want to tell her directly.

"They had your I.D.'s on them, so when the cops and ambulance showed up they all assumed it was you and Abby. Everyone thinks you're dead Jax." And then it clicks. I get up and walk out the back door to the deck, closing it behind me so Abigail can't hear.

"Lets keep it that way for a while. This gives us time to look into the other name I gave you earlier, and the opportunity to see how that bitch reacts to her sisters death." He chuckles into the phone.

"You are one sick but smart son of a bitch Jax. What do I do or say if John calls me?" I hate to do this to him. But if it is Celeste I'm doing him a favor and saving his life in the long run. Who's left for her to kill off now that they think Abby's gone.

"Make him believe it too. I can't have him telling Celeste and ruining everything."

"Okay Jax you got it. Business as usual. I'll get your place emptied out now before anyone tries taking anything, and I already had the locks changed. I'm the only one with a copy.

"Good thinking. Alright, keep me updated."

"Hey Jax-" Sergio yells before I hang up. "There isn't any chance this could be your old friends from back when? Right?" With my hand on the door knob i look up through the glass of the French door at my Princess sitting on the couch.

"I guess we'll find out. One suspect at a time. Whoever did this is assuming I'm dead. The way I look at it, this is the safest I've ever been. Nobody comes looking for a dead guy and his girlfriend. At the same time, they wouldn't have killed an innocent. They may have kidnapped her to get to me. But they never would've flat out killed her like that. Not in broad day light." He hums to himself considering my thoughts.
