She was barely awake but still her lips sought mine in answer. I couldn't resist deepening the kiss until she came fully awake.
"Is it morning already hubby?"
I rubbed noses with her; "Not quite but I have a question; did you know that Keith Starks had a son?"
"Jason?" She scrunched up her face and I thought she was going to tell me this kid had done some horrific shit to her as well and if so I was going downstairs and put a bullet in his fucking head no joke. I was way pass sick of this shit.
"I guess that's him, so he does exist."
"I haven't seen him in a long time, he ran away when we were kids. Jason's younger than I am; he's like sixteen now I think. Why, did you find him? He was nice when we were younger nothing like his creepy dad."
Okay then I guess the kid could live. "Go back to sleep love I'll be right back." She was out before I cleared the door. I looked over my shoulder at her once more before leaving, and made my way downstairs to the offices where my guys had taken up residence in the rooms down there until this thing was over.
I'd told them it was perfectly fine for them to go home at night because my security was impenetrable but Gage and Maurice especially wouldn't hear of it so I'd given up arguing with their hardheaded asses and let them do their thing. It was for her they were doing it anyway so how could I find fault with that?
This kid was sixteen? Ashley must be mistaken or this was an imposter. Those were my first thoughts when I caught a side view of the stranger standing in the middle of the room surrounded by my men. It was only as he turned around that I saw the adolescence in his features.
"You're Thorpe?" He made as if to come towards me but Gage held him back with a hand to the chest.
"Not so fast kid."
"Could you maybe get your pit bull off of me? I come in peace." He held up his hands in mock surrender, kid had a mouth on him.
"What's that you got there Jason?"
"Ah, so it is Ashley you have up there, good to know I'm not chasing my tail." I looked around in confusion, what the hell was he talking about?
"He refused to give his name other than Starks, we saw him on the monitors trying to find a way in so Maurice nabbed him and that's when he told us he was Starks' son and that he needed to see you."
"Oh I see, and you figure if I told Ashley Starks' son was here she would know your real name."
"Yes, thanks by the way."
"What for?"
"For rescuing her, I couldn't."
"Excuse me?"
"I was just a kid...I found out what they were doing by mistake." He rubbed his stomach as if he was going to be sick.
"And what did you do Jason?"
"Nothing, I couldn't do a fucking thing because my father caught me so I had to run. I wanted to take her I swear but there was no way. I tried coming back a time or two but her father had her too guarded back then, so I just kinda gave up for a while. I always thought I'd come back when I got older before it was too late you know?"
"And now, why're you here?"
"I saw the announcement in the papers that you got married. I had to come see if it was true if she was free. Then I heard the news about her father the pig and I figured something was going on and you might need these." He threw the folder he'd been holding on the desk, I glanced at it with a nod, and Gage flipped it open. "Jackpot."

"Where did you get this kid?" I pawed through the stuff on my desk taking quick glances of things as they unfolded. Just that was enough to get my heart pumping, jackpot indeed.
"I took it before I did the runner." I looked over at the kid still not sure about anything; this shit had too many tentacles and too many unknowns. I won’t just go along with shit because it looked good, not where she was concerned.
"I'm guessing your dad knows you took this stuff or did you make copies?"
"Nope originals all the way; so can you use this stuff to put those freaks away because I'm tired of hiding out?" The kid puffed his chest up trying to play the big bad man but behind the eyes was all scared little boy.
