Chapter two
At about five am, Jayden finished painting and decided she may as well find out if their dad had already bought the Thanksgiving turkey or not. He had, so she went about preparing dinner the long way.
By noon, both Andi and Bella had woken up and Jules had come over. The three of them were sitting in the living room, watching the hockey game.
“Jay-bird, when’d you get that metal thing in your mouth?”
“Shut up, Bella! I happen to like my tongue ring. Besides, me and my friend jack got them together.” Jay stuck her tongue out at her sister. “Get your asses in here! Food’s done,” Jay called her other two sisters into the dining room.
The four girls stood around the table and Bella said a blessing. They sat to eat then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jewel looked to her father’s seat and there he was, smiling at her. “Don’t look so surprised, Jules. You knew I’d be watching you. But close those lips, I know you weren’t raised in a barn.”
Jules closed her mouth and went back to her food, a small smile on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Win another race, Andi?” Andrea’s head swirled to face her dad. “Of course I know, dear. Get that elbow off the table, though.”
Andi moved her arm and kept eating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Jay-bird, I know your life was hard before you came to me. Look at me, Jay,” Her papa offered his hands as she looked up. “But your sisters will keep you safe.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bellatrix reached for her glass. “Enough of this. Let’s go play,” She decided, standing up. “I can’t have people say I’m letting my sisters slack off while I’m home.”
“Damn it, Bella. I just got in from Vegas, it’s too cold outside,” Andi protested.
“Let’s go, guys. I need to get out on the ice too,” Jay spoke up. Seeing Jayden agree with Bella, the other two agreed and everyone went to get their hockey sticks and skates.
As they arrived at the hockey rink, Jay saw a familiar looking mop of dark blonde hair leaving the opposite side of the rink. Immediately, she thought she should call Jack, but decided against it knowing Bella’d get pissed if she wasn’t paying attention to the game. She figured she’d have time after the game was over.
As with any game played with the most violent female hockey player, Bella, the other team was constantly picking players up off the ice. A number of them grumbled something about playing the Michigan Mauler and his brothers then playing the Messinger Mangler and her sisters in the same day was too much. Most of them ended up leaving, actually. This only served to make Bella angry, actually. Eventually, the four of them had to stop playing as there was no one left to play against.
Later that evening, after they’d gone to the lawyer and gotten their dad’s safety deposit box, which only had Jay’s and Jewel’s birth certificates in it among other little trinkets, three of the four sisters sat in their dad’s living room talking about how to start looking for who shot their dad. Jules had gone home to her son and husband instead of staying with them. She said she’d meet up with them in the morning.
“The gang story’s completely bogus, I think. There couldn’t have been anyone playing basketball when Papa was shot considering the court lights are turned out at 10. Unless that’s changed since I moved to New York,” Jayden stated, having been the only one of the four to have ever really played basketball.
“A professional hit on Dad?”
“Wait, Bella, what makes you think it was a pro?” Andi asked, Jay nodding to show she was confused too.
“Don’t you two know anything? Sometimes, a pro will cover their shots with another crime then pay a witness to throw the cops off, understand?” Bella explained.
“Okay, but why the hell would anyone wanna kill the sweetest damn man in the whole fuckin’ world?” Jay asked.
“I dunno, Jay-bird. Let’s wait till tomorrow and then we’ll go to the store and watch the tape. We’ll go from there, after that. Probably try to find the witness if the clerk’s ever seen him,” Bella sighed.
That night, Jay actually slept, unlike the night before or even the 19 hour bus ride from New York. Not that the lack of sleep actually bothered her; she was perfectly able to function on very little sleep considering her art kept her awake late into the night often enough.
“Up and at ‘em, Kiddo!” Bella threw a pillow at Jay that Jay caught.
“One, I’m awake already. Two, I’m not a kid,” Jay sat up in her bed. “I’ll be down in a few minutes,” Jay got out of bed, dressed, and hurried down to meet her other two sisters.
“Jules is gonna meet us at the store in half an hour. Grab something real quick and let’s go,” Bella informed her.
They got to the store just after Jules and Bella told her what they’d discussed the night before and what they intended to do today. Jay looked over her sister’s shoulder at the store. Standing next to a beat up Oldsmobile Cutlass was that same familiar head of dark blonde hair from the ice rink. This time, Jay knew who it belonged to.
“Jack Mercer!” She walked away from her sisters as she called out to him.
“Who the hell are you?”
“Cool it, Bobby. Hey Jay,” Jack met her half way and pulled her into a hug. “Bobby, Angel, this is my friend Jayden. Jay, two of my brothers, Bobby and Angel.”
“Hi guys. Jack, my sisters, Bella, Jules, and Andi. Guys, my friend Jack.”
“Wait, how do you two know each other?” Bella asked.
“Jack lives in the loft above mine in Soho,” Jay answered. “How come you guys are here?” She asked Jack.
“Our ma was shot here a few days ago.”
“You’re fuckin with me? So was our dad,” Jay looked at Jack’s brothers.
“That’s just slightly weird.”
“Lay off the sarcasm, Andi,” Bella rolled her eyes.
“Alright, I’m here. Who are you guys?”
“Oh, Jay, my other brother Jerry. Jerry this is my friend Jay and her sister, Bella, Jules, and Andi.”
“Their dad was shot inside with Ma,” Bobby informed him.
“Last night we found out it wasn’t random. The witness was paid and the whole gang story was some bullshit,” Angel told his brother.
“Are you serious, man?” Jerry looked between Bobby and Angel.
Jay nudged Jack as she saw the store owner approach the door of the store. The eight of them walked up to him. “Can I help you ladies and gentlemen?”
“If we could just have a moment of your time, sir. Evelyn Mercer was our mother,” Jack said.
“And Evan Messinger was our father,” Jay added.
“They were good people, I liked them very much. Let’s come inside,” The owner unlocked the door and led them inside.
When Evan and Evelyn were actually shot, Jay and Jack had to turn away. Together, they paced behind their siblings as Bobby asked about the witness.
After getting the information, they left the store. “That was no gang shooting, that was an execution. They set our mom and your dad up. They set ‘em up! Come on,” They broke into a run toward the gym.
A/N: Okay, I do know what I’m doing with this for the most part so the updates shouldn’t take that long for me to get out unless I can’t get to my computer for whatever reason.
