Chapter Six

“Mama!” Aden’s giggles filled the air. He stood next to her and lifted his arms. This was his way of telling her he wanted to be picked up.

She had brought him out to play on his outdoor playground for a little while. He loved slipping down the slide and being pushed on the swing.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t stay out here much longer. The police should be arriving soon.

Jazz swung Aden up in her arms and held him close. His giggle was infectious. She smiled and pressed a kiss to his forehead.

“Love you,” she murmured. Her heart melted as he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her.

“Wuv you,” he said.

Her heart skipped a beat. This was her future. She would do anything to protect her son. He rested his head on her chest while she walked back toward the house.

Her eyes met those of Charlie. He sat in a chair on the patio silently watching her and Aden playing. A shiver passed through her as the memories of their night surfaced.

Down girl.

She nodded at him when she passed. The sound of the chair scraping against the stone patio echoed behind her.

“Do you want me to carry him?” Charlie asked, moving in front of her to open the patio door.

“No, I got him,” she said.

Aden snuggled closer to her. They stepped into the house, and the cool air hit her. She hadn’t realized how much her body heated up while she ran around the playground with Aden.

“Is the little man ready for some lunch?” Maria asked when Jazz entered the kitchen.

Maria Lopez had been with the Tysons for about six years as their personal chef. She was a plump woman in her mid-forties who had been hired by Jazz. They had hit it off immediately when they’d first met.

“You hungry?” she asked Aden.

He nodded and turned to Maria who was walking over to them.

“Cookie?” he asked.

They all laughed. Of course he’d know how to ask for a cookie. Maria had spoiled him something rotten with her baking.

“Lunch first,” Jazz said, a smile lingering on her lips.

Aden reached for Maria who scooped him up from Jazz.

“Would you like anything, Mrs. Tyson?” Maria asked, pausing.

“No. I’m just going to grab a bottle of water.” Jazz walked over the fridge and pulled it open.

Maria could be heard fussing over Aden while she strapped him in his high chair.

Jazz searched and found what she was looking for. Grabbing a water, she spun to Charlie who stood quietly by the door.

“Want anything?” she asked. She cocked an eyebrow at him.

His eyes darkened, and she knew he got the subliminal offer.

“Not at the moment,” he replied.

“Mrs. Tyson,” a deep voice called her from the doorway.

She turned to find Brent, one of the security guards who worked under Charlie, standing at the door.

“Yes, Brent?” She opened the bottle and took a healthy sip. The cold fluid cooled her overheated body.

“There are two detectives here to see you,” he announced.

Her gaze swiveled to Charlie who nodded. She took a deep breath and glanced back to Brent.
