"Hello Lauren, officer Jinks, it's Jace Masters" Jace says into his phone giving me a sympathetic look and walks into the kitchen like I wouldn't be able to hear him in there.
"No she's fine, enjoying a well deserved honeymoon" Jace chuckles and I guess she's asking about Isabel.
"No, I need your help. You wouldn't happen to be on duty tonight by chance?" He asks.

"So baby mama, what are we watching? Comedy, chick flicks, porno's, ooh fatal attraction?" Cole teases with an elbow to my ribs as we sit on the sofa.
"Funny, asshole" I grumble and flick his ear trying to listen to Jace.
"C'mon where's your sense of humour? It's you and me all night mama, what do you want to do?" He turns his body to me to try and gain my attention.
"You can paint my toenails, while we watch cartoons?" I offer with a smile.
"Cool, but I pick the colours" he grins.
"Colours?" I ask laughing and he nods with a smirk.

"Okay sweetheart, Lauren and a few officers are going to meet me at your apartment. I need to swap phones with you okay?" Jace tells me coming back over to the sofa.
"Why?" I ask starting to feel nervous and grumpy.
"Evidence, in case he tries to contact you while we're looking for him, in case we need to lure him out" Jace sighs lifting me so I'm sitting in his lap.
"Are you sure you need to go?" I ask clingy and needy while hiding my face in his neck.
"Yeah Angel I do, I'll be back before you know it and this will be over. I'll forever be your hero and you can reward me handsomely when I get home" he smirks very much the cocky demon I fell in love with.
"I'm sure you have ideas on how I could do that?" I say rolling my eyes.
"Oh yeah" he whispers straight into my ear causing me to shiver.
"Then you better make sure you come home big daddy" I tell him with my lips at his ear and kiss his neck softly.
"Cole do you need anything from home before I lock this place up?" Jace asks rough like he's reminding himself we are not alone.
"Want me to grab some snacks and my guitar Blondie? Uncle Cole can play some music for the bubba's" he smiles indulgently.
"Sounds good to me, but you do know they don't have ears yet right?" I tell him.
"But they have tiny souls and music is food for the soul" he ruffles my hair and he goes.
"Promise me you'll behave tonight honey" Jace sighs when we are alone.
"What? You think I would try it on with Cole? Jace please I'm engaged" I smile at him.
"Yes you are, but no that's not what I'm saying. Angel I need to know you're not going to try anything stupid while I'm gone, I really don't think he'll show up here but if he does you call me and you don't open the door" Jace tells me stern.
"I promised you I'd lock it up, do you want to hide it from me?" I ask knowing what he means.
"Yes, but I won't. If it's you or him it has to be you Beth. Trust me when I say taking a life will change you, I don't want that for you" his eyes burn into me and I kiss him hard.
"How bout I promise if it's me or him I'll aim for his dick, if he gets up I'll take out his knee caps. They aren't kill shots but he will wish they were" I say cheerily.
"That's my Angel" he chuckles.
"Jesus Christ you scare me woman, how do you sleep with both eyes closed man?" Cole laughs coming back in at the wrong time.
"Like a baby with this one in my arms" Jace kisses my nose.
"Okay we're all good here right mama? Go get this shit done" Cole slaps Jace's shoulder and dumps a shit ton of junk food on the coffee table.
"I love you Angel, I'll see you soon okay?" Jace kisses me holding my face and I nod and I feel the trembling start in my hands.
"I love you too, don't make me wait up too late" I whisper because I can't find my voice.
"It's all good honey, I'll tuck you in" Cole smirks at Jace at pulls me from his lap and holds me against his side. "I'll take good care of her" he tells Jace and Jace gets to his feet with a frown as Cole kisses my hair.
"I swear to god what you saw when you kissed my girl will be nothing compared to what you will see if you kiss my woman" Jace points a finger at Cole which just makes him laugh and he kisses my hair again taunting him.
"Cole, for gods sake behave" I can't help but laugh at them both.
Jace swaps his phone for mine on the coffee table and I stand to walk him to the door.
"Windows are locked up, the back door is bolted already. Lock both deadlocks, bolt the door behind me and set the alarm. I'll call you when I'm home so don't open the door for anyone and make sure you look before you unlock the door" Jace kisses me again and I feel his nerves now but he smiles and winks at me. "BTW I put on my steel caps" he chuckles.
"Good boy, make him pay" I nod swallowing a lump in my throat.
Jace closes the door behind him and I turn the locks and slide the three bolts across.
"This place is like fucking Tartarus, someone went to town on home security" Cole observers.
"You should see my apartment, that place has the top of the range security and two armed guards at the only entrance. Motherfucker still got in" I sigh frightened.
"Yeah well now you have me, c'mon first up coffee and donuts, I brought vanilla glazed and chocolate iced" Cole drags me to the kitchen.
