Chapter 7
The next day in the office was good. After getting on her ass about the call, I learned that I needed to calm the jealousy down a notch. She was my fiancée after all. I had nothing to worry about, so everything went smoothly. It was the next day that shit got crazy.
I got a call from Jackson, who sounded frantic. “Caleb, that nut daughter of Thompson’s was in my office bare-ass naked thinking I was up for fucking her. She’s got to be in on it.”
“Do you think Thompson’s got it in for you?”
“That’s possible. We never really got along. You know me making partner first wasn’t something he appreciated since he was with the firm before I got there.”
“Well, be careful. Let me know what that fuck has to say when you talk to him.”
“I will. Talk to you later.” I was worried that something was up with Thompson, our other partner, for a while now. When he mentioned branching out to Seattle, I thought it was smart to dominate the coasts, but it seemed he may have had an ulterior motive. I doubted he was innocent. If I weren’t so busy here, I would go meet Jackson and figure out things over there and choke Thompson and his whore daughter myself.
It was around lunch time when I got a call from Milo, one of our security team members that went to Maine with Jackson and Elizabeth.
“What’s up, Milo?”
“Somebody shot at Elizabeth, Mike, and Jackson’s sister and mother today. They’re at the hospital and all are going to make it.”
“What the fuck?”
“Yeah, they were rammed while going home today. Then the other car opened fire. Mike got them out of there but not without getting hurt.”
“Should I come out there?”
“No. Jackson thinks it’s best that you stay there. It may be your partner behind this. If you come, then he may come after you.”
“True, but tell me what I can do. Shit, this is so fucked up.”
“Tell me about it. First that nutty woman waiting for Jackson then this. I’m looking into it on my end. See if you can find anything out that would help Jackson from there. He said he’ll call you tomorrow when things calm down.”
“Okay. Thanks, Milo.” I sat there for a minute just fucking freaking out. I told Kristen, Malcolm, and Sophia what happened this morning when we went to lunch. They were going to flip when they learned how dangerous this was getting.
We were all supposed to go out to dinner so I would tell them then. An hour later we were sitting down at our favorite place when I filled them in on Milo’s call.
“I can’t believe that. It’s so horrible,” Sophia cried.
“Don’t worry, babe. We’re staying here, so we’ll be safe. It seems Jackson and his family are the targets, but they don’t put it against anyone to come after me if I go there.”
“We should beef up the security here. Did you talk to Duke about it?”
“Yeah, he called me ready to fly to Maine to bust some heads, but we’re needed here.
