It wasn't easy linking these people to their crimes since out of necessity they were very secretive, but sometimes we got lucky and once we pulled a string the whole ball of wax unraveled.
We had to move fast because we weren't sure how connected the network was and we didn't want anyone tipping off anyone else. My men on the ground have been working tirelessly trying to get done in a matter of days what it usually took weeks or sometimes months to accomplish.
That’s what happens when you paid top dollar, though I was sure money wasn’t their only motivation. Even hardened criminals find it hard to stomach injustice against a child. I’ve been lucky enough to have the best working on this, men who knew what to look for and how to proceed.
The deeper we dug the more horrifying it became. I would never expose her to those horrors. I'll take that shit to the grave. None of it will ever touch her not now not ever.
"So are you going to be my good girl and stay here while I go make sure everything is okay for them?"
"I guess so, I'll play around on the computer a bit, give poor Jason some time to rest. I don't think he had too much of that while on the streets; that's one more victim huh Gideon?" She had tears in her eyes my poor baby. I wasn’t too surprised that she'd figured it out after all but fuck, too damn smart.
"Just take it easy for me alright and I'll bring you back a treat." It was times like this that I was reminded once more of her age because her eyes lit up and she hunched her shoulders as she grinned at me. So fucking cute.
"What are you gonna bring me?"
"Not sure yet but I'll think of something." Just then I remembered something else that I'd been working on before all this shit started. It could be considered more than a treat but as long as it puts a smile on her face what the fuck did I care?
GIDEON
It wasn't easy leaving her back there. The way things were escalating so rapidly I wasn't sure what would happen next. The senator seems to be acting erratically according to the men I had following him.
His little house of cards was tumbling down around him and as a businessman I know that makes for a very tense situation. He had more to worry about than a business deal gone sour however.
He was facing a lifetime in jail if nothing else not to mention the public fallout, the embarrassment. A man in his position would go to very drastic measures to see that that doesn't happen.
I couldn't help picking up the phone and calling her though we'd barely been gone ten minutes.
"What're you doing baby?" Her tinkling laugh helped sooth some of the rough edges.
"Gideon, you just left, I'm not doing anything I promise. Besides I'm feeling lazy I think I'll go back to sleep all this excitement has worn me out."
"You feeling okay, the baby's not making you sick is he?" I couldn’t make up my mind if we were having a boy or girl so instead of calling my kid ‘it’ I went back and forth on the sex. I hope that didn’t fuck the poor kid up when he or she finally got here. The fuck I know.
"Nope we're fine I'll just lay here and watch something until I go back to sleep then I'll go get Jason and we'll do something."
"Okay just make sure you both stay inside okay sweetheart?"
"Will do, um Gideon?"
"What is it sweetheart?" I wasn't sure what the hesitance in her voice meant, or the way her voice had gone soft and sad.
"My dad." I closed my eyes as I felt her pain; after all he'd done this precious girl still had the capacity to love him.
"I know Blossom I'm already on it; anything specific you needed me to do?"
"Blue, make sure he has a blue shirt it was his favorite color."
Fuck baby don't cry don't cry don't cry. I really needed to go make sure things are set for the rescued kids but if she started crying there was no way I'd leave her like that. She must've pulled herself together my brave girl because when next she spoke her voice was stronger.
"I'll see you when you get back I love you."
"I love you too my Blossom."
"Blossom do you remember that room I showed you?" I don’t know why the sudden thought hit me but I went with it. There were men there but I still needed to make sure she was as safe as possible.
"Uh huh, stop worrying Gideon we'll be fine."
"Okay baby I'll see you soon." I used the rest of the ride to take care of her gift. Looks like it will be needed now more than ever since her pseudo brother will be living with us, not to mention the baby will be here in a few months.
