CHAPTER TEN: the final countdown

▀▄▀▄▀▄Smoke & fire ▄▀▄▀▄▀

MALACHI RUEDA HAD BEEN WORRIED ABOUT BOTH HIS BOYFRIEND: JAX, AND HIS BEST FRIEND; JASON.  Although, judging by both Jax and Jason's eagerness, he guessed that their mother; had to be kind. And with how Jessie spoke highly of her.

Kai hoped that the woman was kind.

Ursula shifted the two mugs into one hand, using her other hand to fix her hair. "Well, you certainly know how to make an entrance, don't you?"

Jax took a step forward. Jason stayed rooted in his place, staring at the dork his mother had just ran out of. Until she came back, wiping at her shirt sleeve. She then looked up, pausing.

"It's okay, it's just me. Us...Jax and Jason," Jax speaks.

"Boys, I've missed you so much," she cries, running up and throwing her arms around her son's shoulders.

"How did you find me?" Liana asked, her tone soft and gentle. She sat across from her sons, but sat at the edge of couch, to be closed to her sons.

"My sister." Jax answered.

"The one we had no idea about until now?" Jason questioned. "She gave us your address."

"Jessie? She's all alright? You've seen her?" Liana asked with a smile. "I've been worried sick."

"Yea. She's down. She's staying with us." Jax answered.

"Thank heaven. I've been looking everywhere for her. Has she met her father?"

Jason wondered if he spent to much time with Kai. Because the way his mother asked that question, made him glance at her in suspicion. "Dad? Yeah. She has."

"Oh, no. I was afraid of that. Jake, he's...look, I know he's your dad, but by now I'm sure you can see his flaws."

"Oh, you mean the power-hungry, maniac, actions?" Jason asked.

"Well, I guess it's time for us to ask you some questions," Jax tells his mother. "This whole time we thought you were dead. And then all of a sudden, you're alive and-and I have this sister that never knew about. How? Why?"

"Your father must have erased your memory after I left," Liana says.

"Wow, even with the tiniest bit of information, Kai is always right," Jason shakes his head.

"Why would dad erase our memories?" Jax asked.
