“Jayson, Ryan, your parents are going to be visited in the morning by the chaplain and an officer. Bryan’s Delta Force team was ambushed on an op. Three of his teammates were KIA. Bryan is one of five MIA. Trevor is pulling the three of us back in to help find your brother as soon as we are done with Jayme.Sarge, the rest of you will have to make do without us for a few days.”
“Bry…” Ryan whispered softly.
“What are you not saying?” Jayson demanded without breaking eye contact with her.
“The target got warning that Bryan’s team was enroute. The JAG officer and the civilian attorney who helped Hubbard get released from jail and then disappear were both found dead in their homes from apparent gunshot wounds.”
“Fuck!” Ryan and Jayson both shouted.
“You’re going dark?” Jayson asked quietly a few seconds later.
“Yes. I’m going to help bring your baby brother home.”
“Make sure you come home in one piece with him, too. All three of you,” Jayson ordered, pulling Lana in for a hard, passionate kiss.
“Let’s go break this bitch,” Cullen said, cracking her knuckles.
Before they stepped into the interrogation room, Lana’s phone rang with several messages. Lana pulled her phone out and read all of what she had been sent.
“What’s the meaning of this? I want to speak with your supervisor, now. Where’s my husband?”
Lana looked up from her phone and glared at Jayme, ignoring her demands. She handed Rocky and Cullen her phone to see the notes she’d made from the files that she’d just read.
“Funny. Your first demand is to speak with our boss, the one that arrested you. Then you remembered your husband. No mention of your unborn chiapet,” Rocky challenged Jayme.
“Chiapet? What the fuck are you talking about, you stupid bitch?” Jayme spewed at Rocky.
“How about I spell it out for you, Ms. Maylan? You faked a pregnancy, chose an officer of the law to fake that pregnancyto get him to marry you. Not only that, we have you and your stepsister on video drugging Ryan so you can make it look like something happened between you two. Then we have you on video having multiple affairs with several men who are possible suspects in an ongoing investigation into several missing girls within the last year. Should I keep going?” Cullen responded with a quirk of her eyebrow.
All three women stared at Jayme when she burst into laughter at Cullen’s statement. Lana and Rocky leaned back in their seats and waited for the pointy shoe to drop.
Lana’s phone beeped, letting her know that a new message had come through. She pulled out her phone and read through the information Manny had just sent to her.
While Cullen and Rocky interrogated Jayme, catching her in several lies, Lana continued to read the file sent to her. While reading, a couple of dots started connecting for her.
“Knock the shit off, Jayme. I know you’re not pregnant because you had a hysterectomy when you were seventeen. You got knocked up while a senior in high school, then you and baby daddy were in a car accident which caused severe internal injuries. You not only lost the baby, but the baby factory as well. We have you on camera in the house walking around without the baby bump pillow,” Lana’s sharp, cold voice sounded in the room.
“I also know that Elroy Maylan is your biological father and divorced your mother when you were ten, then married Ashley’s mother six months later, after moving to NC. He adopted Ashley and only claimed her as his child. Yet you and Ashley are very chummy together,” Lana continued, glaring at Jayme.
Jayme stayed quiet, glaring at Lana with hate and anger in her eyes. Now they were getting somewhere.
“At least I didn’t steal someone’s man and then tear his heart open to the point he still mourned me.” Jayme sneered at Lana.
“The only thing I’m guilty of is believing lies when I should have trusted my heart. I never stole anyone’s man. What you and Ashley seem to keep forgetting is that Jayson had already dumped Ashley before I arrived in town. Jayson has reminded Ashley of that multiple fucking times throughout the years. Unlike you, I have been faithful to my husband our entire marriage, even when we were separated for the last seven years. You definitely can’t admit to that. Can you?”
“I’m curious though, Ice…she’s married to Ryan, yet she’s on video with not only Ellers, but Brewer, too. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that Ryan never fucked her because between those two and Roderic Torres, there’s no telling what STDs he would have caught from her.” Rocky smiled sweetly at Jayme.
“I want to know what game she’s playing. The Soriano’s Army isn’t small potatoes. They have hardcore cartel men embedded into their MC. They are well-known for wiping out entire families off the fucking map just for pissing them off.” Cullen smirked at Jayme.
“You bitches don’t have shit!” Jayme laughed at them, flipping her hair as best as she could with her hands cuffed to the table.
Lana opened a folder that had still photos of her with Ellers, Brewer, and Roderic. She spread them out on the table.
After giving Jayme a few minutes of staring at those, she also pulled out the photo of Jayme inside Ryan’s house without the baby bump pillow. Lana watched Jayme’s facial expression the whole time.
“You played Ryan for a fool. A man who was trying to do the honorable thing when you told him you were pregnant,” Rocky seethed at Jayme.
“Please, the man is a fucking bore. The whole night, he ignored me and was rude to Ashley. He couldn’t even get it up!” Jayme burst into giggles at that news.
