“Then let’s get busy. Although it might be good to make her wait for a few minutes.” Jayson grinned evilly as he pulled Lana for a kiss, his hands going to her ass as he walked her backwards toward the bed.
CHAPTER
FIFTY-EIGHT
Thirty minutes later, Lana and a refreshed, sober Jayson returned to the living room where her entire team had appeared. When she didn’t see Rocky or Sunny, Country nodded toward where the kids’ room was.
She relaxed when she realized they were checking on the kids so that she could focus on dealing with Ashley. She felt a little guilty about the fact her first thought was helping Jayson instead of checking on them.
“Don’t, Ice. They are good. They are still asleep. How, after the scream this bitch let out, amazes me,” Rocky informed her as she came back into the living room.
“Sunny staying in the room with them?” Lana found herself asking.
“Yeah. In case word gets out, this one has been arrested, and they try to get them for leverage.”
“Alrighty then, let’s get this party started.”
Lana turned her ice glare onto Ashley as she read the woman her Miranda rights. The entire time, Ashley was swearing and threatening Lana, oblivious to Jayson’s presence and glare.
“You have no right to arrest me! I was here by invitation, you jealous slut.”
“Really? And who invited you? It wasn’t Jayson, our children, or me. We are the only ones who may invite you into this house.”
Lana looked over at Jayson, who shook his head, informing her of what she already knew. She turned her eyes back to Ashley when the woman growled out after Hawk pushed her back onto the couch.
“Why are the Maylans and the Hubbards targeting the Kenwoods and Hellburn Falls?”
“Fuck you!”
“No, thank you. Now, last chance, Ashley or we let word get out on the streets that you and your sister, Jayme, squealed the family secrets like the little bitches you two are.”
Ashley burst into laughter. “Guess your friends here didn’t tell you that her real husband got her an attorney and she’s being released because of a favor owed to the mayor, my dad.”
“Actually, she’s not, because the judge had to remove himself from the case. Especially since Daddy-O and his big brother, Rusty, are all suspects in the missing girls case.”
Lana couldn’t help the smirk that appeared on her face at the shock in Ashley’s eyes at her statement. She was going to wait to deliver the rest of the news.
“You’re lying. Jones is a good cop. They will trust him.”
“Nope!” Swift popped her “p”.
“As of two hours ago, Jones, Ellers, and Brewer were all put on suspension without pay by internal affairs pending an internal investigation.”
“Now we know why the Maylans or the Hubbards are targeting Hellburn Falls. Why are you fuckers targeting the Kenwoods?” Lana repeated her question.
“Thought you knew it all, bitch?” Ashley laughed loudly.
“Jayson, does the name Brenda Wright mean anything to you or your parents?”
“No. Should it?”
“Call your parents and ask them. Also, ask them about someone named Kenzie.”
“Kenzie? She was my dad’s younger sister. She died when she was sixteen.”
Lana watched Jayson as he grabbed his phone off of the coffee table and called his parents. The pieces of the puzzle were now starting to complete the whole picture.
“Hello?”
