is becoming more and more fretful. Kayla rarely leaves him and is always available to rock him to sleep at night, which he is in desperate need of right now. Nicky begins to cry for Kayla and there is little I can do but when I look up I see the one person that can calm him. “Nice timing.” I say as I hand Nicky over.
“They did a nice job on the place.” He said as he kisses Nicky’s head, calming him instantly. “Where is Exie? They have a warrant for her as well.”
“Kayla sent her away with Sierra.”
“She knew they were coming this quickly?”
“I don’t think so, she seemed as surprised as the rest of us. Not that it mattered, she wasn’t going to go anywhere anyway.”
“Welch is controlling this, she was right about that. I underestimated her, she took over better than I thought she could.”
“You were wrong about a lot of things.” I said, receiving a cock of his eyebrows. “You know they are offering me a deal.” He barely acknowledges my comment as he makes Nicky laugh. “They want me to give them details on how Kayla killed a one, Mr. Nicholas Jayzon.” Suddenly he looks up at me with wide eyes.
“They don’t believe that?” He asks, with almost a laugh.
“Doesn’t matter what they believe, they are going to use it as another reason to deny her bail.” I said, easing down into a comfortable position on the sofa while I watch him pace and let the wheels turn in his head.
“Call the lawyers, find out when Kayla’s bail hearing is.”
“Alright, and then what? Any big plan to get Kayla out of jail?” I ask him.
“Oh yea, I have a plan.” He says, as his devilish smile slowly take form.
“Oh really? And what’s that?” I say, with a doubtful tone.
“To come back from the dead.”
Chapter 7
~Kayla~
My handlers have been rough in their attempts to break me. The last time I saw a friendly face was when I passed Dwayne through booking and he mouthed, “don’t breathe a word to anyone.” Not exactly encouraging.
I wish he was wrong, but even as Brady sits down in front of me and pleads with me to talk to him so he can help me, I know better than to believe that my enemies aren’t listening in. I focus on Nicky and think back to my days with Nick on the beach, lying in his arms and believing no one will ever hurt me while he is around. Suddenly the door slams open and Detective Williams walks in. “Mrs. Jayzon you are being charged with the murder of Mr. Rankin, Mr. Flowers and for the murder of …” He leans over my back, “and for the murder of Mr. Nicholas Jayzon.”
“What! Are you kidding me?” Brady yells at him. “I can tell you right now that she had nothing to do with Jayzon’s death!”
“She had more reasons than anyone. Money, power, and to rid herself of the man who forced her into prostitution, had her sister killed … I can’t think of anyone that would have more of a reason to kill their own husband.” Williams smiles at me. Somebody has been talking too much, damn you Exie. I told her countless times to not be so excited about telling our story, but sometimes she gets a little excited and too free with her words and information, especially when she feels comfortable with people. She trusted those cops too much.
“Oh come on! This is getting ridiculous!” Brady yells, pushing Williams away from me.
“Simone get out of here! I don’t even know why you’re here, this is my case – not yours!” Williams yells back. The two battle each other out the door and before I know it Brady is gone and I am left alone with Williams and his equally disgusting partner. I tighten and keep my mouth closed. Their frustration is becoming too much for them and they begin to let their aggressions surface, “You fucking whore!” Williams yells, smacking me in the back of the head. “What’s wrong with you? Are you drugged up too? Would figure, a drug addict whore just like your sister.” My hands flinch but I regain control. Williams paces around
