"What's this safe house Gideon?"

Shit, I was hoping she'd been too preoccupied to hear that little  bypass, no such luck. "Nothing for you to worry about baby." She pouted  my way but kept still. I've noticed that she never contradicted me in  front of others, no she saved that shit for when we were alone so I was  sure I hadn't heard the end of it.

I needed to go over all the stuff Jason had brought with him but I  didn't want to do it with her in the room. I had shuffled everything  back into the envelope before she came into the room, I didn't want her  hurting anymore than she already was over this shit. With things moving  though we needed to get on the ball, I didn't want her anywhere near it  but I didn't want to send her away either, shit.

"Babe we're going to go into the inner office you and Jason stay out  here and catch up okay." I kissed her once more before heading in the  direction of the office not giving her a chance to answer. The office  was just right through the door so I could still see and hear them.

My guys were right behind me. Gone were the easy smiles and laid back manner, in their place was disgust and anger.

"It must be said, these fuckers need to die." Maurice sneered at the evidence I pulled out once again.

The pictures laid out on the table were of the senator and the doctor.  Some were in Ashley's bedroom when she was very young some were of the  two men with other young children in pretty much the same positions.  What was most incriminating though was the detailed diary of one Keith  Starks. This coupled with the recordings my security team had made of  Starks and Sanders after I'd taken Ashley was more than enough evidence  to put the men away. I took the photos of my wife and locked them away. I  don't know what if anything I'd do with them in the future but I knew I  didn't want her involved in whatever was going to befall these fuckers,  it might be a pipe dream but it's what I wanted.

Some of the pictures weren't too incriminating taken on their own, but  couple them with the fact that all of the featured kids were now missing  and that was a strong indication of wrongdoing. Not to mention the ones  where the surgeon general had his hands in some very inappropriate  places on these young girls' bodies while the senator was in attendance.  Pretty hard to explain that shit away. I wonder how the fuck Starks had  got his hands on this shit but at this point it really didn't matter.

My gut burned with anger as I thought of the story those pictures told.  She was so fucking young and innocent. In some of the earlier ones she'd  looked terrified. Shake it off Gideon get the job done, the sooner you  do that the sooner you can get to work on healing her.

"So we've decided on the press first?" The question drew me back from my musings.

"Yes Maurice, I have my contact ready all we need to do is forward the  info. This is even better than what we had before; we'll call it trial  by the public. When the public gets hold of this there wouldn't be a  court anywhere that wouldn't throw the book at these monsters.

"They're gonna want to interview the victims and all that shit, you know  these fucks are fucked up in their own way too." Gage had a point but  I'd already put some stipulations in place. My contact at the station  knew I was sitting on something hot that involved a high flying official  but she didn't know who or what. She took my word on it because she  knew I wasn't one to fuck around. I had to make sure that these kids  who'd already been victimized weren't going to be treated like  commodities for some news channel so I'd done all that I could to  safeguard them.

"I already told Carla that if she handles this the way I want she'd get  first dibs whenever the kids are ready to talk. Her bosses are gonna  have to cough up some dough too, I'm gonna see that these kids get paid.  I've already got Whistler on the ball to sue the senator and the  doctor. Their families are gonna be pissed because I mean to see that  these kids are compensated heavily for all that they've been through.  Not that money can make up for this shit, but it will go a long way to  getting them settled in society when they get older. Some of them are  adults already and will be coming back to nothing, having to start over  from scratch. And you can bet these fucks haven't been keeping up with  educating their little play toys, fucking monsters. Plus with doctor  bills and who knows what, we're talking millions."

"Take all their shit so they can't even afford a damn lawyer at the end of the day."

"I'll do my best Stefan."

"I'm going on record as saying you can't do it boss, we end up having to  take those fuckers before the feds get them you'll burn ‘em." Gage  didn't even break a smile as he made that very accurate assessment. It  was true; I kept waffling back and forth on my decisions where their  punishments were concerned. In the end it comes down to what's best for  my girl, it's always gonna come down to that shit for me.                       
       
           



       

"I won't take that bet either boss, I mean it's gonna be hard enough for  us if we come face to face with these fucks not to pull the trigger. If  you want this to go down the American way you better let us handle it  from here on out because there's no fucking way I see you letting them  walk otherwise." I looked at Maurice after Stefan's little speech to see  if he had anything to add to the other two's statements. He simply  shrugged his shoulders and grinned. "It is what it is boss."

"Good to know you guys have such faith in my ability to keep a cool  head." I was saying that shit but I knew they were right on the money.  There was no guarantee that I'd let these fuckers live if we ever came  face to face. They'd fucking put hands on what's mine a man doesn't take  that shit lightly. "Lets put this shit away until we take care of the  other thing first. Looks like we might have this thing cleaned up in a  few days or less, good work guys thanks." They all brushed off my thanks  but I'm sure they knew what this shit meant to me.





Within thirty minutes we got word that the first rescue mission had gone  off without a hitch and the rescued were on a private jet with hand  picked staff on their way here. The safe house was one of my properties  in the country. I had a doctor on hand to look over them and there was a  trained staff on hand whom I'd had to let in on what was going on.  These were people I'd dealt with for years so I didn't worry about shit  going wrong, besides with dad overseeing everything I was guaranteed  that things would go smoothly. I'd done all I could now it was time to  end this shit.

"I think we'll bring the senator and the doctor in after we've seen the  rescued children. We might as well have a little reunion      before I  throw them to the jackals." Yes I wanted to look them in the face and  let them know who it was that had fucked them and why. That was for her,  I needed them to know that though the asshole had been willing to throw  her away like garbage there was now someone in her life who valued her  above all else.

"Please tell me we're gonna get to fuck them up before we hand them over."

I didn't answer just smirked at Gage and the others.





Chapter 31



I got Jason settled in a room upstairs while Blossom fussed around him making sure his every need was met.

"That's enough Blossom I don't think he needs four blankets and don't try lifting that chair again."

"Yeah about that, I meant to ask earlier Ash but got sidetracked; what the heck happened to you anyway?"

"It was an accident." She brushed it off with a slight wave of the hand,  I'm sure she didn't want to get into it with him not on his first day  back; smart and considerate.

"There's something else I didn't tell you." From the wide grin on her face I knew what was coming next.

"What's that?" He was testing the mattress and looking around the room; probably checking for an escape route.

She reached back and took my hand before answering him.

"We're having a baby." She looked at him expectantly almost as if  expecting to be rebuffed. I saw the flash of surprise that was quickly  covered before he smiled at us.

"Congratulations Ashley. Man time sure does fly huh you're married and  about to become a mom, that's cool." I felt a little sorry for the kid;  there was no doubt that he had a slight crush on my wife. I'm not sure  if it was a good thing or not that she hadn't a clue.

"Come on baby, let's let Jason get settled in, you have everything you need kid?"

"Sure I'm cool, can I grab a shower?"

"You have your own private bath right through there kid you don't need  to ask; you already know where the kitchen is if you get hungry."
