Everyone Has Something To Hide

Chapter Thirty-Nine

"Hey, how'd it go?" Link says, standing up and kissing Juliane on the lips.

"Let's just say you might pass out when you see her in that dress," her mom blurts out.

"Mom," Juliane chuckles.

"Well I like the sound of that but it doesn't really take much of anything for Juliane to look amazing."

"I see you got along with her today," Breanna nods to the fast asleep baby.

"Oh yeah she was great."

"Well thank you for getting her to sleep," Breanna nods, placing her in the carrier.

"No problem, you know Juliane and I don't mind watching her when you guys are busy," Link volunteers.

"No we don't," Juliane smiles.

Saying thanks again, giving them each a hug, Breanna leaves. Jan heads out a moment later.

"Sounds like you guys had some success today."

"We did and mom is probably right, you might pass out," she smirks, walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his torso.

"I look forward to it."

"Exactly one week and a week and one day I'll be Mrs. Link Anderson."

"Yes it is, only another week and one day of living in sin," he winks. "So I have our honeymoon all set."

"You do?" she asks, grabbing a water out of the fridge and taking a sip.

"Yes, you're going to need a few weeks off work."

"Dang, that's a long honeymoon."

"I plan on spending as much time with you naked as I can get away with."

"We can start baby making," she smiles.

"I think that sounds like a perfect plan."

Juliane heads down to the bathroom, leaving Link in the kitchen to cook dinner. His phone ringing in his pocket. "Hello?" he answers without looking.

"Hey, it's Dan," the Director of the CIA.

"Hey, any news?"

"Yes, we are getting Éliane extradited back to Arizona."

"Good, has she said anything?"

"Nothing except she wants to talk to you and Juliane."

Link sighs. "What does she want?"

"All she said was she has information about the burglary."

"Alright, set up a meeting and we'll be there."

"Got it," Dan hangs up.

"I have some news," Link says as Juliane walks back into the kitchen.

"Yeah?" she perks up, sliding onto the barstool.

"They're moving Éliane here and she wants to talk to us. They believe that she has something to do with the burglary."

"I'm not talking to her," she shakes her head.

"She said it's the only way that she'll talk."

"Link..." she says, standing up and beginning to pace.

"Juliane, if you don't want to or don't think you can do it, you don't have to."

"I will beat her face in and if she had something to do with what happened," she says, beginning to laugh. "I don't think I can be cool."

"No one expects you to not hate her or want to make her hurt, but just know that I will make sure that she gets everything she deserves. She will not get away with whatever she's done," Link assures her. "I love you more than anything and I will do anything for you. You don't have to answer me now, just think about it."

"I'll talk to her."

"I'll be there with you the entire time."
