Kiss Me Deadly ✔️

Secrets and problems

Everyone had been busy with what was about to go down. I hadn't had a chance to talk to Jaxon about the baby. I didn't want him distracted. I figure I would wait.

I came out of my room and stood on the balcony as I watch them load up with guns, bulletproof vest with the words FBI across it, along with other weapons. God, let them return because I really don't want to raise a child alone or be without the guy I was in love with.

I came downstairs and walked over to Jaxon as he finished suiting up.

He turned to me, "Hey, what's that look for?"

"I just want you to come back, safe," I sighed.

He pulled me to him, "Your dad is one of the best agents along with the others. We're going in and taking them down, then we come home. It will be okay," he reassured me. I wrapped my arms around him. I didn't want to let go, but knew I needed to.

He gave me a quick kiss, then like that they all left. They left us with another agent while they took down Talia's and Bree's fathers. Both had been working with the Mendoza crew along with Santiago's crew.

I didn't know much about the Santiago's except they weren't someone you wanted to get mixed up with. When it came to the cartels, they did a lot of unsavory things. It sent a shiver down my spine. I just hope my friends can forgive me.

The agent that stayed behind, Agent Thomas, kept an eye on things. Nana was in the kitchen so I decided to go talk to her. I needed to tell someone about the pregnancy at least.

I walked into the kitchen and she was fixing tea. I took a seat at the counter as she walked over and set a cup down in front of me, "Nieta what's wrong?"

I took a deep breath as I said, "I'm pregnant." It was no use beating around the bush. Not when it comes to nana.

"Eeeeeeee!" She squealed in delight. I looked at her as she started talking excitedly in Spanish.

Finally, I interrupted her, "Jaxon doesn't know yet."

She stops and looked at me, "Qué?"

"I didn't have time to tell him," I said to her.

"Oh, Nieta, tsk, tsk, tsk," she said, shaking her head, "tienes que decirle," she said firmly.

"I know, but I just found out," I said, placing my chin in my palm.

"Look at me, nieta." I looked at her. "Babies are a gift. We love. They love. You must tell him."

"I plan on it as soon as they return. But then I have to deal with Papi," I sighed. I knew dad would not be happy.

"Don't worry about mijo. I take care of him," she reassured me, patting my arm.

I know Nana would put dad in his place. It's just that I wasn't expecting this, not yet at least. I mean we only briefly talked about things, but figure it would be in the future after I finished school. Now with a baby on the way? I just didn't know anymore.

As I sat there pondering how I was going to break the news to Jaxon, I didn't know what was going on with dad and the others or what was about to happen.

*******
Dad, Ash and the other agents surrounded each house as they were getting to storm them. They had the swat team with them with snipers stationed at various points.

Their objective was to get two people out and take down the rest without casualties. They were to only shoot if they had felt threatened.

Dad looked at Ash and Jaxon, nodded, then gave the signal. They busted into each house, taking down both men as women screamed. Talia and Bree were taken and led out to safety while dad dealt with the others.

The move was quick and swift as they handcuffed them and read them their rights. Then the questions started with both Mr. Taylor and Mr. Genovese staying silent until it came down to them asking for an attorney.

They were led out along with their wives as Mr. Taylor said with a smirk, "Too bad, you're busy. I'm pretty sure it won't bode well for your family."

Dad walked up to him and the agent, "Hold on. What are you talking about?"

"Did you honestly think we didn't know you were coming? We figured things out a long time ago, thanks to our daughters. Such a sad state that your daughter is going to die tonight along with your mother. We may rot in prison, but we don't have to deal with someone's death," he smirked again.

"Get him out of here. I need to go check on my family," dad barked.

The agent dragged Mr. Taylor away as dad walked out of the house and over to his car.

"Where are you going, Manny?!" Ash yelled.

"Home! My family is in danger!" He yelled back as he climbed in only to have Jaxon jump in the passenger side. He didn't need to question it. He knew how important I was too Jaxon.

He peeled out of the driveway and raced down the street as the others followed behind. They didn't have much time to get to us before we were taken out.

********
As I sat in the kitchen with nana, we heard glass break. I looked at her and she looked at me, "Nieta, remember what mijo says."

"To get them before they get us," I told her.

"Sí, ahorave!" She ordered me. You didn't have to tell me twice. I got up and went through the back way.

This is the thing about a safe house. They have many passageways just in case, it's infiltrated. I made my way down the narrow hallway until I came to a door. Hoping this was an exit, I opened it only to come face with none other than Gia.

"Hello ex-best," she greeted me.

This was one time I was right, but turned out to be oh so very wrong. Well, this should be fun.
