"How will you two get in the apartment?"I ask as we are sitting in the living room. "I can't figure that one out."
"What if we blow out a wall? Chase, you can do that, right?" He nods and goes back to looking through his stuff. "That would create a lot of smoke and a loud sound. If you could keep her distracted while it happens and you can't get emotional about this. Can you do that Jo?" I look at the ground and think for a minute. "I'm not sure. I should be able to keep it toned down. If not I'm sure a bomb going off with keep me in check." We all chuckle and Colton nods. "Any other questions?" We all stay silent for a minute thinking. "I do have one question but I think it can wait until we're done."
"What is it?" I shake my head at Colton's question. "It can wait. Come on, don't want to keep anyone waiting." We all start walking out and Chase and Jack get into Colton's truck. "Shouldn't Jack drive to get used to your truck? I thought he was air support."
"He is. He is going to call in the spot to his partner in the air. Now what was your question? It's gonna bug me until you tell me."
"I was wondering why you aren't married to Sam instead. He was the first one to have the same car as you." He glares at me and goes to his truck telling Jack to drive. I start to laugh as he walks off. I go to my car and drive thinking about how Sam betrayed me even though we never consummated our marriage. I park the car and see Colton and Chase go up into the building. I groan and get out of my car. I notice someone looking at me through their window. I march up the steps and jog up to the right apartment. I knock on the door, loudly, and wait for her to answer. I knock on the door again and I hear someone yelling from the inside of the apartment. Soon the red head opens the door and looks at me shocked. "Well, isn't this a shocker?"I cross my arms and give her a mocking smile. "Jolene Forester. What a pleasant surprise. Please, come in." She steps back and I walk into the two bedroom apartment. I see some shoes in the entryway and a few coats. I leave my shoes on and walk into the living room. "Nice place. I thought you were living under a rock."
"No, just at your house with your husband." I laugh and roll my eyes. "You're enjoying that aren't you? Why choose Sam anyways? Is it just revenge on me or what?"
"It started off that way but then I just fell for him. I'm so excited for this baby. I think I will name it Sam Jr."
"Sam would hate that name and what would happen if it's a girl?"
"I would name it Samantha." She shrugs and looks smug. I make an annoyed noise and lean against the wall. "She would hate you for it."
"Doesn't matter. Jolene, you need to get over this."
"Why did you even invite me in here? To brag? To rub it in my face?"
"Yeah, pretty much. I always thought it was so funny that you never slept with Sam after you went through the ceremony with him."
"Well, it's a good thing that I didn't. You and Sam make a much better team anyways."
"I should have gone after that other boy of yours, Colton. He is so much cuter and so nice. I can see why you like him."
"I'm sure you do." I sigh and look around. "I came here to yell at you about sleeping with Sam and cuss you out about being selfish but you really don't care what I have to say about you do you?"
"No, not really. I just like seeing you angry." I roll my eyes and go look out the window. I see Jack watching the window that I'm in. I sigh and hit my forehead against the window. "You certainly do that quite well." She walks and leans against the window. "Well it is my favorite past time."
"If you weren't pregnant, I would so punch you right now."
"Why is that stopping you?" I glance at her and she hits me in the face. I laugh and wipe the blood from my cracked lip. I shake my head and look out the window. I notice Jack is on the phone and I walk back into the living room. "What? Too scared to hit me back. You always were too scared to fight me."
"I wasn't when we were in River Run and anyways why would I want to fight you? If I wait for you to get any fatter than you'll just get out of my way all on your own." She opens her mouth to say something but a loud noise shakes the room and the building as dust fills the air.
