Chapter six
After the three girls got home, Bella called Jules to fill her in on what had happened while she’d been at home. She’d be coming with them when they went to see the guys the next morning.
“Andi?”
“Yeah Jay-bird?”
“I really don’t like Fowler. There’s something about him that just rubbed me the wrong way today. We should be careful around him,” Jay sat on the edge of Andi’s bed.
“Like a clenching in your gut around him kinda feeling?”
“Exactly.”
“Yeah, me too. Don’t worry though, we’ll be fine. Speaking of, actually. Bella!”
“Yeah?” Bella poked her head into the room.
“You should call Dave. See if he’s got anything new yet and tell him about our parents dating and about Sweet being involved,” Andi said.
“Yeah, okay,” Bella left the room. 20 minutes later she walked back in and sat beside Jay. “Fowler’s dirty. Our parents filed a police report about Jerry’s business and Victor’s involvement in it and Fowler passed it on to him.”
“So it’s not Jerry that caused all this? He didn’t hire anyone for insurance money or something stupid?”
“No, Jay-bird, he didn’t. We have to get there before Jerry in the morning.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jay, Andi, Bella, and Jules walked in the back door of the Mercer home in time to hear Jerry arguing with Bobby in the living room
"And what the fuck did he do for you Jerry?" Bobby was demanding. They must've been confronting him about paying Sweet the girls all decided.
"What did he do for me? He killed my fuckin' life! I put everything in that project! I bet it all tryin' to make something of myself! Tryin’ to make the shit work! Then Vic's goons gonna come try to take a piece."
"You paid him, Jerry! You got in bed with him."
"No, no, I didn't pay 'em! That's how they fuckin shut me down!"
"Wait, I thought the city shut you down?" Jack spoke up. Jay went to stand closer to him, knowing he hated shouting as much as she did.
"Douglas? Come on, man! This is Detroit! Sweet owns Douglas! He ain't nothin but a gangster in a suit! I don't pay him and he shuts my loans off! End of story, end of project!"
"So what about the grant?" Someone knocked on the door and Jay followed behind Jake as he went to open it.
"You're mother was a whore!" Some guy flipped Jack off and threw a snow ball in his face.
"Hey, fuck you man!"
"No, Jack, don't!" Jay followed behind him as he followed the guy. She had a bad feeling about this.
"I will kick your...," Everything seemed to slow down from there. Jay reached her left arm to grab Jack's right as the masked man pointed a gun at them both. He seemed to hesitate slightly but then fired two shots, one hitting the left side of Jay’s chest, the other hitting Jack. Jay fell to her knees, pain shooting through her body. The man got closer to them, intending to finish them off, she was sure, when two more shots rang out and he fell to the ground.
Jay scrambled out of the road as best she was able and she and Jack ended up at a telephone pole as a van pulled up and more shots rang out. She felt her legs explode in pain and screamed.
"BELLA!" She shouted.
"BOBBY!"
"JACK!"
"JAY!" The shots continued to fire over their heads. Jayden could feel her blood soaking her shirt. Blindly, she reached for Jack. Grasping his arm as tight as she was able, she shouted for Bella again.
"Hold on, Jay!" She heard as Bobby shouted the same to Jack. Jay rolled onto her back, letting go of Jack for a moment, so she could breathe. She grabbed his arm again though, unwilling to let go for long.
"Bella!" She shouted again, crying now, afraid she was going to die, here on Evelyn Mercer's front yard. She could hear Jack sobbing and struggling to breathe beside her and she knew he was thinking the same thing.
After what seemed to be forever, the guns stopped. They weren't out of the clear yet, apparently, as Jay could see the grey van speeding toward them. She heard the crunch of metal as Jerry's Volvo slammed into the side of the vehicle. Suddenly, Bella was kneeling over her.
Over all the rest of the shouting, she heard Bella's words. "Jayden! Don't you give up on me, Pixie! You hold on! You gotta fuckin' breathe, Jay-bird! Don't you die on me, damn it!"
Jay smiled, she was safe now. Bella would see to that. And then, she saw no more.
Jayden nor Jack saw Bella and Bobby get up and shoot the driver of the van. They didn't see Jerry, Jules, Angel, Andi, and Sofi crying. They didn't see or hear the police arrive too late to do anything of value. They didn’t know Greene got shot by Fowler. They didn’t see Fowler get shot by fellow police officers. They didn’t see the fight between Bobby and Sweet. They didn't even see their siblings after the police 'interrogated' them after the disappearance of Victor Sweet.
The next thing Jayden Messinger and Jack Mercer saw was a brilliant white light.
