Little Dark Secrets

Life of a Traitor

Jolene was fuming. Three days since Gianni delivered Vincent's message and no one has seen Nelson.

Just as she suspected. His desperation had no limits.

She burst through the doors of Marcus and Mage's home heading for the kitchen. "Sh*t!" Marcus scrambled pulling up his pants while covering Mage's body parts as much as possible.

"Relax I've seen you both in the act before." Jolene said stoically. Mage blushed crimson through her brown skin as she grabbed her panties. She slid them on awkwardly and started looking for her dress that Marcus tossed somewhere.

"Nelson. Where is he?"

Marcus scratched his head trying to get into business mode but was awkward because he was currently half naked in front of his boss. He zipped up his pants and cleared his throat.

"He was just in Worcester an hour ago. What's going on?"

"He's a f*cking rat." She hissed. "J-Jo calm down. Y-you are nearly 8 months, d-don't stress yourself out."

Mage went to counsel her but remembered she was naked. "I am calm but if no one finds Nelson in 3 hours I'm going to lose my sh*t."

"You know what you have to do Jo, right?" Marcus asked before she walked out.

"Break my Uncle's heart."

———

Jo called James before she went over. She made sure Carol and Camilla weren't home. He had a feeling he knew what she was calling for and he wasn't happy.

James sat down across from Jolene with a solemn look on his face.

"It's a necessary precaution you know this uncle." Jolene sighed. "I could be wrong."

"You're a Madden your gut feeling is never wrong." James sighed. "I fear his obsession with you has gone too far."

"I really have never lead him on uncle James I don't know where he got this notion that helping Ricardo and Andrea would get us together." Jolene sighed rubbing her stomach.

"After my sister passed... I thought I could help him. I really tried." James clenched his jaw. "I know.. but you aren't the problem Uncle James it's him. Gianni will be in my life now he is the father of my child. I will not let any threat reach him."

James nodded. "I never thought Nelson was that smart. Isn't that f*cked up? I mean the kid isn't stupid but he's definitely not smart enough to set up a Don." He laughed dryly.

Jolene contemplates his words for a moment. She really had to think about it. Nelson... setting up Gianni? Nelson was most definitely not smart enough to capture a Don.

James nodded. "After you called I went through his belongs and found some sh*t. He's been communicating back and forth with someone. You're the boss now so I didn't want to read the letters before you."

James slid the paper to to Jolene. She inhaled before reading the words plastered on the sheet.

Platinum,

I understand your frustrations on the time frame of which we are working. But you must understand that in order for the plan to run smoothly we must follow De Luca and Vitale's instructions.

If it all goes to plan you get a chance with the Ms. Madden and Gianni is in custody of De Luca. He will never harm or be in contact with Jolene again.
