Chapter 64: All Your Fault

Jason

It was nice going to work with Isabela like it was nothing, like we had known each other for years and were old and married. It was extremely heartwarming to drop Blossom off at school myself and know that she got there safely.

I should have predicted it, but I was still surprised when people reacted loudly as we entered the building together. "Shut up." Isabela coldly told them. "What are you, five?"

Pablo, the leader, came running with papers in his hands and an empty look filling his eyes. He wasn't aware of his surroundings, he was just walking. Pablo typed on the computer and when he called for an emergency meeting right after that, I knew we had something serious on our hands.

"Y'all remember our friend Antonio Lowe? He's flying in to NYC from Miami. As we speak."

Everyone nodded but I couldn't grasp it. Who? What? This couldn't be happening.

"Who?"

"Right. Jason is new and is not aware of him. Last time he was in New York, he killed 5 of our best men. He even tried to shoot up this entire place. Our security is too good for that but... He will be roaming the streets and he is a pretty ugly guy. He's doing some nasty stuff in the Sunshine State."

I let out a laugh. "I know more about him than you would think."

"Have you done some research? Or did you get in trouble with him? I know you're from Miami?"

"I knocked up his daughter the night she turned 18. Does that count?" I laughed. Everyone stared at me. They were all very confused. "His daughter, Madison, is about to be divorced from my fine ass. I threw her out of my home yesterday. I know Antonio. Trust me. He's still my father in law."

Pablo gave me a sarcastic round of applause. "Everyone give it up for Jason! For being a complete dumbass." He threw one fist into the table, causing a few cracks. "You don't break the heart of someone precious to Antonio. Let's hold the funeral for Jason McCann sometime next week. You a dead motherfucker."

"What am I supposed to do? I didn't want to be with her anymore. 11 years was enough. Plus, we don't know if he's coming to be with his daughter and granddaughter or if he's coming for me."

"Then let's find out." Pablo said, a bit more calm. "Did you ever hit her?"

"Yeah."

"Cheat on her?"

"Yeah."

He nodded. "I was right. You a dead motherfucker. I am 99% sure that he is coming for you. That means our meeting cancelled. Everyone is safe but Jason."

Everyone but Isabela left. "The woman at your place yesterday, was that Lowe's daughter?"

"In the flesh. And the little girl yelling at us both... That's his granddaughter. But they never met. I never wanted him around and he didn't want to be around either."

I decided not to tell her about Blossom. Isabela liked Blossom and knowing that she actually was Antonio's daughter would creep her out.

"You're like closely related by blood. That's fucking insane, Jason. What are you gonna do now that he's coming for you?"

"We don't know that for sure..."

"Well he is." Isabela ferociously chipped.

I dropped my head into my hands, really tired of everything that was coming down crashing onto me. "I have no fucking idea what to do. If he comes at me. I'll deal with it then and there."

"So you have no plan whatsoever? To keep everyone around you safe? Like your daughter living with you?" She was indirectly pushing me to ask her for advice and show that I was actually weak. "Don't you want to protect my cute ass whenever I'm staying over?"
