How Long Will I Love You.

Chapter Fifteen.

Hearing the doorbell sound throughout the house I get up and answer the door. Everyone is out, including River. Matt was with Jason, Dom and Johnny to start working up his strength at the gym, and Justin took River out with Ryan and Chaz, to give me a break apparently. I hadn't done much, I guess it was from the job yesterday so I took a chance and tried to get some sleep, but obviously someone had to wake me up.

I opened the door to see Adams "Yeah?" I said bluntly, crossing my arms over my chest "Can I come in?" I laughed "No" I began to close the door but he put his foot out to stop it from closing. I looked down and slowly looked up at him "You might want to remove your foot before I do it for you" I said, starting to get angry "Now now, I just want to talk" I give up and let him in, if he tries anything I know I can take him. I stood in the kitchen where he followed and proceeded to sit down "Go ahead, make yourself at home" I told him sarcastically, sitting on the kitchen counter the other side of the room to him. He didn't say anything as I lit a cigarette and continued to look at him.

"I know it was you who trashed my house" I kept my face blank as I looked at him "I've been thinking it over for a while but yet I still can't figure out why. I saved your life so there's no reason for you to hate me. But then Matt started staying out and not coming home, I started to investigate" I raised my eyebrow but didn't say anything "There was a tracker in his phone, but before I could find out where he is. It stopped working, so I'm guessing you got him a new phone" "I really don't have time for your bullshit" I said, jumping down from the counter. He stood up, scraping the chair against the floor "I saw him out with your guys" "Good for you" I replied, leaning against the side.

"What do you want with my son?" He asked to which I laughed and slowly walked over to him "See that's where you're wrong. He's not your son, but you know who is don't you? That's why you're really here. You don't give a crap about your house, you knew it was coming. It's because Matt's related to me more than you" I told him, which immediately pissed him off "You watch your mouth" "Why?" I asked standing in front if him "Because you killed Holly? Because she didn't love you? She didn't want a baby with you, because she was still in love with Johnny? A guy who's like family to me" I knew I had pressed all of his buttons, because his hand had firmly hit across my cheek. I didn't say anything, I could hardly even feel the sting of his hand because of how angry I was "Oh you so didn't want to go there" I said, kicking him in the infamous place, causing him to bend down, where I continued to kick him with as much force as possible. So much so he was laying on the ground, groaning and sputtering.

I crouched down, a few inches from his face "See what happens when you cross me? No one wins against me. No one" I spat "Like Joe? He. He didn't win did he?" He stuttered. My stomach flipped but I kept my cool. I knew he had found out somehow ever since he was here last, the day Dom and I went dress shopping.

"No he didn't" I replied, standing up and moving his body, for the handcuffs in his pocket. I twisted them around my finger before crouching back down again "I don't know why you even bothered to come here. Did you think because you knew about Joe you'd finally have something on me?" I asked, trying to stop a smile at bay. Cops these days, they don't have a clue. I knew by his face that I was right.

"Stupid fucker. It wouldn't get you anywhere. I'd kill you before you had a chance. I've got a whole lot more on you than you have me and my guys. And anyway, it's not like Matt was going to do anything you say, because let's be honest...he hates you more than I do" I stood up, looking down at the pathetic man who now had a few drops of blood from his mouth "No he doesn't. I'm his father!" He shouted, making me laugh again. My laughter soon stopped when the door opened and in came Johnny, soon followed By Matt. Thankfully Dom and Jason weren't with them "No you're not. I am" Johnny snarled, picking Joe up from his shirt and making him stand. I must have kicked him pretty hard, as his body was sagging even with Johnny holding him up. He took the handcuffs from my hand and put them to Joe's wrist "Well this is different" he mumbled, to which I smiled at. I stood foot to foot with Joe an looked straight into his eyes, keeping my voice low "Matt works for me now" his face dropped at my words, making me smile. I walked away "Take him to the warehouse, I'll tell Justin" I told them, looking at Matt. His face was blank, I couldn't read what he was thinking. He's always said he hates Joe, his supposed father throughout the years, but did he really? Did he like the thought of him being dead, but now it's actually coming down to it he's getting cold feet? "What about the others?" Matt asked, snapping me away from my thoughts "I'll fill them in later, this doesn't need more than two people" I spat, looking at Joe before back at Matt "Two?" He asked, raising his eyebrow "You stay here" I told him as I walked past, calling Justin "No I'm coming with you" He began to argue, stopping me from leaving the house. Johnny pushed Joe past us both, literally throwing him in the back of his car. I turned around to look at Matt "You're staying here Matt. You don't need to be anymore involved with this" he took my arm in his again, stoping me from walking. I put my phone back in my pocket as Justin hadn't answered, before snatching my arm from Matt's grip "Matt. You are not-" "No Pia. I've been planning that bastards death for years, I didn't care back then if I got caught, and I sure as hell don't now. Especially now I'm with you, the chance of me being caught is very slim. Please, just let me come with you" I thought it over for a few seconds, but I had already made my decision "I can't I'm sorry, you don't need to see this" I saw how upset he had gotten over it, before his jaw started to clench and he pushed past me "Dad!" I still hadn't got used to that, no doubt either Johnny or Matt had either. But still, I continued in locking the door and walking over to the car. Matt had obviously told Johnny the situation because he kept looking between us both. His eyes settled on me "You said you don't want Matt involved with this shit. Babysitter nothing else remember? Your choice Johnny" I said, before opening the door and getting in. Matt and Johnny soon both followed, Matt was beside me. Johnny was in the back with Joe who was slowly losing consciousness. I looked at Johnny in the mirror, my face obviously asking a question he already knew the answer to "This is different, one job. That's it" I scoffed, but started the car and starting driving.

Its never just one job.

After getting to the warehouse, Justin nor anyone else had picked up the phone or called me back. So I decided on going through with this and to sort everything with them later.

After slapping Joe a few times he finally came round "Where am I?" He asked "This is where you come to die" I told him, standing up and walking around him "You can't kill me. I'm a cop" "Oh please. Covering my tracks is as easy as clicking my fingers. It's even easier because your son will be more than happy to help me. Imagine this, you ready? Oh yes officer what's-your-face. Dad went on a cruise around the world for a year, such short notice but he's been wanting to do it for ages" I told him, imitating Matt's voice "See how easy that was? You will be gone and no one will care. Simple" "it won't work" he replied. I kneeled down, our faces close "You sure about that? Because I've been doing this for what? Roughly ten years already. I know what I'm doing...you obviously, don't" "You started all this when you were nine?" Matt spoke up, I nodded as I turned my face to look his way "That's when it all started, mostly cars at that point. Still illegal though" I smiled, throwing him the gun. He caught it, looking over it as he's never seen a gun before. He probably has, but this was a lot different. He was about to use it. I stood back, watching everything from a distance. To see how everything had planned out, I was so used to being back in control it was odd seeing someone else do it for a change. I looked at Johnny, who's eyes met mine a second later. I recognised the look on his face straight away, disappointment. Over what? I couldn't quite understand. I didn't say yes to Matt being here, he did. So whilst Matt was shouting at Joe, I dragged Johnny a few metres away.

"What's the problem?" I asked, my voice stern. My anger had risen over time throughout this whole situation, and Johnny being like this wasn't helping "He's not ready for this. He'll never be ready for this. Why did you let him come?" That was when my finger jabbed very hard at his chest "I said no. You were the one who said he could come. So don't you dare, be fucking like this with me" he knew I was right because he couldn't look at me any longer, instead his eyes were on Matt, his fists swinging at every inch of Joe "Id say you've got around three minutes before Matt actually kills Joe, without the gun. So if you want to stop him, now would be the time" Johnny didn't move he just kept on staring. That's when I realised that Johnny was staring, because he saw a lot of himself in Matt. Especially the way his anger was building up and his punching was uncontrollable. This whole situation had finally sunk in, him being a father was just the start of it and now it was all weighing Johnny down even more, with every second that was going by.

I sighed and walked over to Matt, grabbing his shoulder and spinning him around with as much force as I could. Except...it didn't quite go like that. Instead, as soon as my hand was on Matt's shoulder he turned around and right hooked me exactly around my eye. He realised what he had done almost straight away, when my hand went to my eye. Feeling the intensity of my face starting to throb "Pia, shit. Pia I'm so sorry" Matt stuttered, his breathing heavy. I didn't answer, instead I looked at Johnny who had a slight smile on his face but was trying to hide it. That's when I started laughing, like really laughing.

Matt however found nothing funny, he was still in shock over the fact he had hit me aswell as the fact Johnny and I were both laughing "What's so funny?" Matt asked, pulling my hand down to see my eye. It was watering, my vision was blurry and I knew that it wouldn't be long before it was heavily bruised "Your dad over there, did the exact same thing a while back" I said, my laughing subsiding when I remembered the situation we were now in.

"You hit her?" Matt asked, shocked. Johnny walked over nodding "Yeah, she was being a right pain in the ass so I thumped her one" which made us both start laughing again, but we both stopped when Matt took a step back "He's joking. We were on a job and he was the one being a dick, so I went to stop him from lashing out and I got a black eye, exactly what just happened here" I told him, picking the gun up from the floor and pulling the trigger on the already heavily unconscious Joe slumped in a chair.

Matt jumped slightly, not expecting it and looked at me, slightly pissed "What the fuck? I wanted to do it" I shrugged, putting the gun in my pocket "Technically you already had, I was just making sure. You let him know how angry you were and I finished him off. Now I want to go home. You can help your dad tidy up whilst I go and phone Justin and tell him what's happened before he sees me and kills you" I smiled, before walking out the warehouse.

They say deaths come in threes. There's been two already. Who's next?
