His Forever Flame

63. Jay Undercover

It was the beginning of September and things had been going well for the family of five. They'd settled into a fairly good routine after their mini stay at the cabin, and Lauren was adjusted to having three kids all day. While it was exhausting at times, she loved her babies and loved getting to watch them grow, change and learn new things every day.

She was curled up on the couch around nine nursing Jayson when she got a new picture message from Jay. He would sometimes randomly send her a picture in the hopes she'd send one back. He especially loved it if she sent one of her and the kids or one he knew he couldn't show anybody.

Lauren smiled as she opened it. Jay was at the airport in slacks and a button up. She was positive he had not worn that to work, so she knew he'd changed. He was laying on the bag scanner with his hands up giving the camera a straight stare. He'd kept the beard still and Lauren could tell the picture was just for her as she looked it over close. Damn if he didn't look hot as hell.

The message with it said he was going undercover for a simple op and he couldn't wait to see her later tonight. Lauren smiled. She gently pulled Jayson's blanket back a little and snapped a picture of him nursing. She sent it to him with the message that he looked really sexy and she couldn't wait for him to be home either. She sent a wink face with it so he'd know she got his meaning.

She didn't get a reply so she figured they'd taken his phone to begin the op. She prayed he'd be safe. She went about the day normal, plying with the twins and fixing lunch. Right after she got them fed, she heard a key in the door. She went to greet Jay, but was instead greeted with Mouse.

"Hey Mouse, what's up?" she asked finding it unusual for him to be here in the middle of the day.

"Uh... Well... sit down," he said nodding towards the couch.

"Mouse? What's wrong?" she asked sitting down.

Before he could answer Jayla toddled up having heard Mouse. "Moooowwww," she squealed holding her arms up to him.

"Hey Princess," he said picking her up and kissing her cheek. Jayla babbled away as Lauren sat nervously waiting. "Go play with brother princess so I can talk to mommy a sec," Mouse said sitting her down.

Jayla toddled over to where Jayden was playing with some blocks and started to play with him.

"Mouse? What is it?" Lauren asked nervously.

Mouse knelt down in front of her and Lauren bit her lip waiting. "Jay... Jay was undercover today."

"I know he text me. Said it was a simple op and he'd see me tonight."

Mouse nodded not meeting her eyes. "It was a simple op, but something went wrong. Jay's been kidnapped Lauren."

She sat there frozen letting his words sink in. Jay was gone. He'd been taken by whoever they were trying to bust. They made him and took him.

"Lauren... Lauren look at me," Mouse said squeezing her hands.

She finally sucked in a breath and met his eyes. The tears broke looking at him. "We are going to get him back I swear. Jay is coming home."

Lauren couldn't answer him. She just sat there feeling her world collapsing.

"I'm going to call Kelly and Shay get them over here with you ok? Will and Natalie are at work. I called already so they know."

"I'm going with you," she said, but he prevented her from getting up.

"Lauren there's nothing you can do at the district. Stay here with the kids and I promise I'll keep you updated."
