“Dean, wake up, we have work to do,” David said.

 I

started to get up and get dressed. I have been busy trying to find James Jenkins, my old friend that trained me for this mafia life. He was a good trainer until his parents passed away 3 years ago, he took it hard.

“Anyone found James Jenkins yet?” I asked

“No, he's good at hiding off the grid,” Josh said.

“I know, but we will find him before it's too late,” I said.

“What's going on anyway that we have to find him?” Josh asked.

“His brother is back, and he's not going to leave until he gets what he wants,” I said

“Yeah, why are we looking for him anyway?” josh asked

“I thought we were on good terms with him?” David asked.

“His wife and daughter are in danger. Do we know the place he stayed at?" I said.

“A hotel not too far from the hospital. David said. Let's go check there first." I said.

We made our way to the cars and made our way to the hotel that he stayed at.

“Hi ma'am, I'm looking for a friend of mine,” I said.

“Okay, what's his name and I look him up for you?” the lady asked.

“Thank you, ma'am, his name is James Jenkins,” I said.

“Okay, sir. He's in the top VIP section.” the lady said.

“Okay, thank you, ma'am,” I said.

We made our way to his room when we heard yelling

“LEAVE MY DAUGHTER AND WIFE ALONE OR I SWEAR BROTHER OR NOT I WILL KILL YOU NICK!!” James yelled.

“MY DEAR BROTHER, YOU'RE TOO LATE. THE PRINCESS IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND YOUR WIFE IS ALL ALONE WITH HER DYING DAUGHTER,” Nick said.

I knocked on the door and I heard him say who it was.

“Dean matches.”

“Dean, it's been a long time. How have you been?” James asked.

“I'm doing well. James, but your daughter is in danger, and we're sent by your wife to find you, James, by your wife.” I said.

“What happened?” James asked.

“Your wife and daughter work at a club that I own. We don't know how, but your brother Nick found them and raped and beat Jessy near death,” I said.

“Take me to my wife and daughter. I have to see them and make sure they're safe.” James said.

“Yes sir,” I said

We made our way to the hospital. “Ma'am, we are here for Jessy Jenkins. I'm her fiancé and this is her father and brother's.” I said.

“Okay, room 260,” the nurse said.

“Thank you, ma'am,” I said

“Fiancé, huh?” James said.

“I'm not going to lie, I'm in love with Jessy. I didn't want to admit to it.” I said.

“Dean doesn't hurt her; she's been through enough. I didn't want them involved with this world. That's why I live two different lives, but I never cheated on my wife.” James said.

“I know James and I will do my best to make sure she's safe even when I'm not here,” I said.

“You're a good man, Dean. Let's go see my girls.” James said.

I knock on the door light because we don't know if Jessy is awake from the coma yet. No answer, so I opened the door a little to see if Hope was still there. She was asleep next to Jessy, holding her for dear life. I walked up to the bedside and said

“Hope” Light.

"She woke up and said, “Hi Dean, did you find my husband?” Hope asked

“Yes, ma'am, he is waiting for you. Tell him to come in.” Hope said.

“Okay James you can go in, but full warning Jessy doesn’t look like herself. She's hooked on a lot of machines” I said.

“Okay, thanks for the heads-up,” James said.

I got a phone call from Italy to find out my brother has been kidnap and I need to leave within 6 months. I don't like the feeling of this. Now my brother has been taking. I have to spend time with Jessy and when I come back, I hope she forgives me for leaving.

I love Jessy with all my heart. I promise baby I will come back to you. I'm not looking forward to leaving Jessy because James's panties are in the bunch. Jessy is a grown woman that knows what she wants, and that's me. Why does James have to do this? We are friends and now trying to make enemies with me.

I'm not scared of James; I'm scared for Jessy because when I leave nobody else can protect her as I do. I don't want her to fall into dangerous hands. James doesn't realize he put a target on Hope's and Jessy's heads, James doesn't think as I do. I wouldn't put my daughter in harm's way, but he would keep me away from her.

The man has gone crazy. I need to know if Jessy will be okay. And when I get back, we can get married and live our lives without all the drama that comes with the Mafia. Now we can live a quiet life until something happens again. God knows we need this break from the Mafia world to live normal for once, even though we're not normal people.

"Dean, you can go home now. I can take care of my wife and daughter now." James said

"I will go home when Jessy is discharged. What the hell is wrong with you getting my brother kidnapped for dating Jessy?" I said

"You will get my family killed because I let you date Jessy," James said

"Nick already wants to kill her because she turned him down," James said

"I don't have a problem with you dating Jessy. I'm trying to keep her away from the Mafia world. She's not made for this world." James said

"If you let me help you, I can protect her as well my brother, but you got him kidnapped for no reason, James," I said

"All I need is for you to stay away until I call you for help, Dean," James said

"I can't do that James I promise to protect her no matter what happens to me or her," I said

Then I walked away from James to the bed where Jessy lay.
