only one who has a head on his shoulders and is not involved in the criminal side of the family. His father is the head of the family in New York and is the one who put the hit out on Bailey. He came because he heard some of the plans they were making and wanted to warn us and help. He is ready for his family to go down. The hardheaded son of a bitch also refused to leave the loft until he spoke to Bailey. Apparently, they had been conversing for the past few months on the phone, that is when Jr. figured out where all the money was. He is some hotshot lawyer in New York; he placed a target on his back the second he left New York.
Bailey has this idea now the man is worth protecting, she ordered Dallas and Noah to either help him too or she was leaving to go into protective custody with him. Dallas did not take too kindly to his future wife thinking she was gonna shack up with a tall dark stranger, so it was a mess. The guy has some secret need to protect Bailey too, he says he knew what his father was planning but did not have enough time to stop it. Now he is all about sticking to Bailey like glue until she is safe. Basically, I have a cluster fuck that needs to be unscrewed and I need time to do it where we will all be safe. The feds agreed that they could not handle their protection because they have a mess of their own to deal with. Who the hell knows how many more people Trent bought off?” Steve said, running his hands through his short hair and pacing.
“Okay then, TMI.” Calli said and went to Jolly"s side. “Think we have to compartmentalize here guys. Jolly is wounded and needs to have rest. Bailey, Dallas, and Noah need protecting and that Junior guy needs his head examined. I will not be leaving either of your sides again so you can go and get shot. So how many bedrooms does this cabin have?” Calli asked.
“I don"t really know.” Steve responded and then frowned. “What about Ginny? She is the only one we have forgotten about and she was at the hospital talking to the nurses and doctors last night and this morning arranging for nursing care. I never thought to make sure she had a guard. Shit.” Steve said and ran out of the door. Calli was going to follow but could not decide where she needed to be. With Jolly or Steve.
“Baby girl, stay right here.” Jolly warned as he looked at her indecision. “Until we get all of this sorted out, you stay with me.”
Calli nodded in agreement and sat down in the chair next to his bed.
Chapter 5
Steve ran from the hospital room and saw Ginny standing at the nurse"s desk. He let out a sigh of relief because he was not going to have to chase her down. He slowed his pace to a walk and reached her side quickly.
Ginny looked up in surprise when she felt him take her elbow and begin to propel her away from her task. “Wait a minute.” She said and frowned at her friend. “I have a few more things to get signed so we can arrange for transport. Including the location of the Bat Cave.” She said pulling her arm out of his grasp.
“That will not be necessary Ginny; I have taken care of the details of transport. What else do you have planned here?” Steve said grasping her arm with his hand firmly.
“Oh, okay, I just have to get insurance forms filled out with correct billing address. The insurance company called this morning and told the hospital you did not live where you were listed. They wanted a current residence before they could process the claim.” She said and then pulled out a piece of paper.
Steve frowned and then leaned in to look at what she was staring at before stating,
“Weird, all the insurance is billed through the agency. We have never had an address request before now. Who did you talk to?”
“Um, a Mr. Mead, he said he was your policy manager.” Ginny said and looked at her friend. “He"s not, is he?”
“Not a name I have ever heard. Let"s call back to the office and see, by the way how did they get ahold of you?” He
