Chapter 6: Bang,Bang

~No One's P.O.V.~

"I'm sorry Mr. Medina have we met?" Ari asked being confused looking at both of them for some answers. "Darling you only call me Angelo or papa Angelo. Yes we have. I was actually great friends with your dad. Hell he even worked for me eighty percent of everything I owned starting out building my way up he was my amin contractor we even grew close over the years you were always almost with him so I we got to meet a lot of the time you use to call me uncle Angie, or uncle Lolo." He laughed to himself. I never fully forgive myself for what happened to him. I'm so sorry." He said lowly. "I thought your father died in a car accident?" Xavier asked looking at Ariah. "Well that's what I tell people. In fact it was a little different form that I never really got to get into the full details." She shrugged to him. "No son a simple car accident did not kill Caleb Alderman. We were together at one of the sites and just as we were getting ready to leave there was a shoot out and before I knew what was happening I was shoved to the ground and Cal was on top of me. The bullets stopped tires were peeling out all around us and when I rolled him off he was already gone. Cal took ten random bullets for me. Didn't hesitate, didn't think twice just jumped in front of me he was my best friend at eh time. I never fully forgave myself for taking your last parent away from you. We had to move back to Italy for a few years and I was searching for you every where but were told you were with another family friend. It's been years since I've seen you anyway. I think you just turned eight. Always thought it was a shame you two never met. Yet here you two are, what a small world." Angelo said hugging on the girl he lost so long ago.

"You look so much like him, with your mothers eyes, I swear I have them both in front of me now." Maddie said smiling sweetly to her. "I knew I knew those beautiful eyes." She said tearing up. "Your parents were wonderful people an di am so thankful m son has found you, and brought you back to us." Maddie said hugging her even tighter to her. "Come love let her breath. We've heard everything about you from Xavier here it's not a shock now that we know you who you really are on just what time of an amazing person you are and such high accomplishments it's not a shock now as to why. Come tell us about all the details in the middle over dinner. Ironically it's your dad's favorite." "Steak." Everyone but Xavier said in unison making them all smile. Dinner went by great. It was pushing to nine and home was still a twenty minute drive. Not wanting them to leave his parents reluctantly let them go only the promise of meeting them for dinner another night. Xavier couldn't believe fate's luck. His father was meant to die that die and instead his love lost the only other family in her life. He felt grateful to the man for giving his father and his best friend his life. Yet at the same time felt like a thief for her losing hers. Telling her the truth was going to be a lot harder now.

Xavier knew the full story they were at a new sight to rebuild a warehouse for more of space for the guns they just made and were getting ready to use to store them in between shipments. Her father wasn't a higher up member but her was definitely in the mafia as his fathers best friend him and some cop he could never remember his name. Anyways Moretti's dad came up with his men and tried to take down Angelo himself and would have got him to had it not been for Caleb. Angelo only took one shot and got Moretti right between the eyes as he dropped dead in the street. Their cop friend made it look like a meeting with a contractor that took a wrong turn as another gang came and shot Moretti down. To cover even more tracks everyone just says Cal died of a simple DUI accident from some drunk, instead of the hero all his men and daughter thought he was she knew he took ten bullets for someone but never learned who just that it was a close friend She was proud of him for that. How could he tell her now. Timing is going to be everything but there was no way of telling her until he knew she loved him as much as he loved her.

Going back into his house he locked up as she headed off to his room. He watched her taking her shoes heel things and stopped her hands from further movement kneeling down to unchain her anklet. Kissing on her leg while he did it slowly. Leaving her humming at his little gestures. "Do you mind if I take a shower?" "No baby go ahead I made sure to stock up on everything I know you use and like even your own like fifty different towels you use for your hair, face, body all that." He told her helping her off the bed as she laughed at him for thinking she's crazy, heart melting at the gesture. "You didn't have to do all that, but thank you for going out of your way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable here." "What's mine is yours baby you just gotta open that beautiful mouth and ask." He said kissing her deeply wrapping her close to him so he could bath in her taste, scent and warmth. "Now hurry up I'm missing you already." He said smack her ass leaning her towards the door to the bathroom.

"Well there's an easier way to go about that you know." She told him walking slowly away, taking her dress slowly off of her tossing to the floor, noticing she was braless at the same time, turning around walking backwards still going to the bathroom his mouth opened as big as his eye. "You could just join me. Who knows maybe give me a hand?" She winked and shrugged cutely to him. After disappearing through the still opened door. Thinking for a second of what he just saw, the confirmation he's been waiting for this whole time. His dick was springing to life painfully hard to where the pants were way to tight. Move you dumb ass get in there? Why you leaving her waiting?!! His inner beast was growling to him as he was brought back to reality rushing to get his clothes off to the point where he was just ripping them off at this point trying to hurry himself into the bathroom door he fell twice on his face. Over his clothes realizing his cheek fell next to the tip of his knife not realizing anything else he quickly tossed his gun and knifes in a drawer not wanting to explain why he had them tonight.

Getting into the shower with her, he noticed how her smile fell into a worried look. "If you changed your mind I can get out right now." He rushed out scared she would go into a panic attack and he didn't know where her inhaler was at the moment. "What the hell happened to your head she grabbed his face yanking him into the shower tilting it to see better. There was a thin cut the length of her ring finger bleeding down his face up above the right curve of his forehead right on the hair line you wouldn't have been able to tell it was there except for the bleed dripping. "Oh that I fell." "On what?" "My knife." He sighed out. "While why didn't you put it away before you took off your clothes she asked him in confusion." "Your alright I carry one?" "Xavier what man our age doesn't? It's like the thing when we were teenagers. It only got worse for you all when we got older besides you have every right to have one all the crazy people around you. It makes me feel better knowing you have protection. Hell I was trying to get you a conceal to carry permit when I found you already have one in the system so I know all about your little collections you probably have and yes I am ok with it, besides you see all the toys I get to carry around why would you think I have an issue?" She asked him still holding the cloth to his head as the bleeding had stopped.

"I guess I'm just stupid baby. I forgot all the things your used to made me wonder for a minute how comfortable you would be around these things while you off the clock. Come here." He pulled her close to him kissing her sweetly and deeply getting so lost in this moment with her. Grabbing the shampoo and putting some within his hands he started to wash her hair. It warmed her heart yet left her in shock at the same time no one has ever made her felt so cared for. Never has she felt so cherished and loved. Never understanding what being in love this way felt like she was starting to feel like maybe it's this. After laughing and tickling and washing each other. So lost in the kiss his hand took on life of it's on caressing her right breast which was almost to much for his big hand to hold. All he could think before pulling away hand full of her breast is he was a lucky man. Resting his forehead down to hers. "Let me know when to stop baby, because I'm not sure how far is too far and I don't know if I'll be able to stop." He said in grunted whisper trying to keep his hips away from her his hard on from pushing to hard onto her.

Looking in his eyes she couldn't help herself. "What if I don't' want you to stop at all." She purred out to him, getting on her knees quickly grabbing on to him with one hand pumping him slowly twice before using her tongue to swirl around his tip dragging her tongue down his shaft, and his testicles massaging his whole lower half his head throwing back in surprise and pleasure. "Fuck Ari." He stuttered out in surprise. She took that moment to take him in her mouth and using her hand to stroke whatever she couldn't fit using her tongue to rub against his veins as she hollowed her mouth sucking tightly making his legs shake and his hands go straight to her hair first trying to be gentlemanly and keeping it out of her face the next thing he knew he was using it to control her pace being so lost in her movements body trembling through her motions. She kept swallowing the saliva down in her throat with him still in her throat which drove him to the edge riding the brink line of insanity. Seeing stars almost fading in out of bliss. "Baby you keep doing that I aint going to last much longer." He slurred out trying to keep his balance.

"Baby I'm goin bust I need you to move." He tried to get her away but she kept right on her task going down deeper and faster. Before he could blink she was trying to swallow all of him which was an impossible task so it ended up also going all over her chest rubbing into her skin just made him come again immediate. It wasn't until she took her index, middle and thumb as massaging it over his tip while her tongue help keep it moist and wet watching it bounce and rub all over her lips and tongue and fingers watching her loving every bit of it he couldn't take his eyes off her it was by far the sexiest thing he had every witnessed. He closed his eyes looking down quickly as the third orgasm hit him strong his legs were quaking in front of her. "FUCK BABY! Hooollllyyyy shit!!" He stuttered out as he was standing like a drunk person now trying to find his bearings as she finally stood and washed herself off again.

"I… I didn't know I could do that. I didn't think men had multiple orgasms like that. Are you like a witch? Some sexy ass demon sucking my soul out?" He asked finally getting out of the shower as she helped him dry off. "Really sucking your soul out dick first, sounds like a way most men would take to go?" Winking to him as he held her close his hand behind her neck one arm wrapped around her waist. Kissing her so deeply, picking her up wrapping her legs around his waist laying her up on the bed. "You are truly perfect Angel." He said running his finger tips up her legs admiring the rest of her body in all its glory. He loved every curve she had praising whatever higher power sent her to him, being a curvy woman. "Love that blush baby." He whispered lowly in such a seductive tone that even in the dark made her creamy white body grow even redder under his dark skinned hands he was truly in heaven at this moment if it was a dream he would hanged whoever dare to wake him.

He couldn't hold back any longer grabbing both her thighs and placing them on his wide shoulders he dove his head right into her center tongue diving into her core making her his in excitement and the feeling of him invading her core. He knew right there that it was over. He was sunk. If he wasn't addicted to her yet he was now. There was no way he could ever let her go now after getting a taste of everything his world was missing. Removing his tongue to add two of his fingers to loosen her up to get her ready for him he put his mouth back on to her clit as he was pumping in and out of her sucking, nibbling licking her clit all over his tongue. Feeling her body shake and her center starting to grip his fingers he knew she was close. "That's it baby, let go for daddy baby, I got you." He purred out to her continuing his task showing no signs of stopping but going a little faster. Her fingers went straight to his hair tugging on him. "FUCK! DADDY!! Right there. XAVIER!!" Not being able to contain her own voice or how loud she cried out for him. Yup totally addicted. Loving the sounds coming off her having them push his raging member back to being painfully hard just by the sounds of her and the smell of her still on his lips from her dripping all over his face.

Reaching in a hurry in his drawer getting his condom on he climbed on top of her not being able to hold back any more. He got between her legs stretching one out with his hand on her thigh and wrapping the other on his waist. He thrusted quickly inside her and stopped looking down at her. "Are you good Angel?" "Why are you so big." She was breathing in through her mouth and out through her nose. "Please move." She begged him bucking her hips up, only too happy to oblige her he started to thrust back in and out of her slowly at her first and slowly build and in creasing her speed. After a few more minutes of making her a moaning mess he need more of her. Making both her legs grab around his waist and flipping them both over and having her on top straddling him. "Ride me baby, work your dick over baby." He told her reaching up caressing her breast tweaking her nipples making her grind her hips into his a little rougher. Grinding her hips switching from up and down and circular motions. Her second orgasm hither by surprise crying out for him again. It wasn't enough for him.

Getting her to the edge of the bed and bending her over slapping her ass as he thrusted into her without warning pounding into her mercilessly he grabbed her by her hair pulling her back up her back to his chest as he bent his legs a little more to be her level. Reaching his hand over to her front playing with her clit as he continued his torture upon her. The stimulation was too much for her to bare. "Fuck baby you take me so good. Fuck baby let go and get us both there." He growled to her she came instantly to his words on command. "Damn baby that's it fuck milk it dry Angel!" He rumbled to her as his release came from hers. Both leaning on the edge of the bed for a moment catching their breath panting and the sound of the moan as he exited from her both feeling a little empty as he did so. "Lay down baby wait for me." He whispered to her legs did not want to move, but managed to crawl up onto his bed which was a chore itself being so tall and she being so short.

Coming in with a cloth cleaning her up he took his time to make sure he was thorough. Trying to avoid his semi knowing neither it or her could take any more tonight, although he did feel bad cumming one more time than she did. She didn't seem to mind looking sedated on the bed, moving her around slightly to pull down the sheets. Laying down and pulling her to him he grabbed her face and kissed her sweetly and then it hit them. Something pulling both of them into a different shift straight their very souls. Pulling away she couldn't hep but look into his eyes getting lost a little in them. "Did you? Did you feel that?" She stumbled head tilted to look at him and hand still on his chest her body facing him as he had her cradle into his side. "Yeah baby, I did." He said small smile falling for her even more. "What is that?" He could feel the scaredness in her voice, he was prepared for it though. "That was motion of you shifting my whole world." "Don't tease me right now." She told him with a serious look.

"I'm not teasing you my Angel. That was us. Whether you are aware of it or not that was like our souls bonding together, that was fate's way of proving that you are it for me Ari. No one else just you. You were made just for me. I love you Ariah and that was fate's way of showing you love me too even if you don't realize it yet. Get some rest baby. We got a lot of things to do tomorrow, and I need you naked and rested for about half of them." Pulling her closer to him changing the subject knowing how tired she was and also not ready to be talking about love just yet, even though he knew she loved him it was in everything she did. Her texts of her asking him about this day doing anything she can to make it better. Making sure he was fed or took lunch going out of her way to help take care of him and his family; she just didn't notice it yet but it was true.

The weekend was long as Monday morning came around she decided to run late to the office this morning. After her and Xavier had their breakfast she got up early to make him and they cleaned the dishes, he couldn't help but pop her on the top counter as she was in her black skirt that went down to her knees and had a small slit up the side. She only had a half day of paper work at the office and to check in on some things there than she could go home and work from there. Leaning over the counter as he was pounding into her just as they both came. "WOW." "FUCK." "SHIT! Sorry you guys didn't think you'd be here, and not in here getting busy." Ryder said as all three Axel, Enzo, and Ryder were quickly turned around Axel slapping Ryder in the head for his comment. "It's alright baby the most they could see is my big ass. Promise. Here." He whispered to her sweetly knowing how embarrassed she might be. Face being bright red she groaned.

After helping her adjust herself. "Maybe you should run up there and slip on some slacks or sweat pants." Xavier told her using his fingers to lift her chin. "I'm fine in what I'm wearing for only a half day at the office. Besides it was in the walk-in closet you set up for me that's probably bigger than my bedroom. You don't think you went a little over board there?" "I just wanted to make sure my woman has everything she could possibly need. It's my pleasure to spoil you baby, and in doing so it makes me feel good knowing I was able to provide for you at the same time. Do you really want to take that away form me knowing how happy it makes me for you to feel at home in my place." Pouting those puppy dg eyes and pouty lips. "UGH Fine. Don't get used to it. I can handle being love spoiled but don't over do the rest you know I'm way more simpler than all this. I only need you, and then I'm good." She said placing a deep kiss to him. Walking by the others she turned red. "I'm so sorry you guys." They cut her off. "No big deal. Sorry for walking in. This is practically your home too, and I know in my place I would and do take my woman on anything I can." Axel winked to her. "Also Wedding is soon, so Wednesday on your lunch break please go for your refitting they got both dressed are there you just go tot make sure they got it all right and stuff." Axel said rubbing the back of his neck. "I will I promise, Chloe, Leah, and Ellie have sent me nine reminder and it's only Monday." She said saluting them out the door.

~Xavier~

"Damn man nice." Enzo said swiping a piece of bacon from the stove. "Is that why you didn't answer your phone all weekend? Finally got to the next stage huh?" Ryder asked him with his elbow bumping his friend happy after three months with Ariah and years of avoiding woman he finally got some much needed intimacy in more ways than one. "Sooo….?" Enzo asked as they all gathered around him. "So what?" Xavier asked him as they all followed him up to the office. "Don't be like that how was it? You take her to meet your parents and you don't answer your guy's phone all weekend come on man, don't hold back now." Axel pointed out to him. "Ellie was right men gossip way more than woman y'all need to pass up your man card right now." Xavier said as he took his seat in his office chair getting some papers set up to sign and go over. Taking a deep breath he looked up at them knowing how bad this is going to come off.

"I may have a bit of a problem." "What did daddy Angelo not approve I don't see that being a possibility after all she's first girl to turn your head and catch your eye." Ryder told him lifting his eyebrow. "No, my parents love Ariah like way more than me. She loves them back. No the problem her dad." "How could he be a problem he's been dead for years. "Calber Alderman is her father." Xavier said closing his eyes. "OH shit." Axel said running his hands down his face. "Does she know the truth of that story?" Ryder asked in a sad yet serious voice. "She knows he was gunned down for his friend but not who or why." "Do you think she'll forgive any of us now?" Enzo asked feeling the hurt flow through him knowing his own relationship could very well depend on how well Ari take s the new which would gut him badly as he also been with Chloe for just over three months as well. Hell she was now living with him, his heart couldn't handle losing either of them now just like the rest of them. "Let's hope so, any way Keith set everything up hacking through Morettis' phone here is the burner he had it set up into." Placing the phone into Ryders hand. "Let's get this other crap out of the way and get down to it." Axel said looking around the room.

~Ariah~

Two weeks have gone by now leaving her and Xavier just over four months of being together and getting closer to Phoenix and even meeting up randomly at lunch restaurants that he just happened to show up in with his friends Liam and Killian who also were growing on her as they seemed to like and approve her for their friend. The Shadows was giving her more grief all over the city so were Gunners men, and Reapers men who she was still trying to make heads and tails of most of their men who got caught selling, being in possession, or assault, arson, and so much other things along the city. Feeling proud of shutting down the last known and rumored trafficking ring. Only problem was all those being sold was so strung out that they willing offered themselves to be sold off as long as they could still get their fix, so that case was a whole lot more complicated now she was just waiting for Jace to finish his last testimonies and the whole thing would shut.

Going over some stalker claims on some rich man over a fraud maternity search. Clearly the stalker is pregnant, but not by the man she is claiming as all DNA of the man is non existent on her, however his best friend is caught all over her who also uses his friends name at clubs to score with women. What a mess. *Knock* *Knock* "Ari you got a minute?" "For you Jace always." She told him smiling after getting so close to them over time. Enjoying his company now. "What can I do for you love?" She teased him crossing her fingers over each other leaning forward on her desk. "The case is done. Just F.Y.I. Russo has the file. " He teased coming to sit on the arm rest of the chair in front of her. "Ari can I talk seriously with you?" "Always." "I think we got two puppets." "That is a serious accusation Jace. Are you sure?" "I don't have the solid evidence no nothing but my gut." "Well you know what they say about those gut feelings. Who do you expect to be the puppet?" Looking at her for a moment taking a breath keeping eye contact with her. "Noah, and Hunter. I think they both are, and working for two separate groups. I don't even think they are aware of it themselves about the other one." Jace said scratching the back of his neck.

A puppet was a person being a police force officer of some sort but working for the mafia. The mafia would be pulling all their strings to help get them off and away with their dealings. "So to clarify you think both Hunter and Noah are working as puppets for two separate mafias? You have no evidence of it, or no real standing proof other than a gut feeling." Looking him in the eye he could only nod back to him. "I know how close you are to us and how hard this is got to be to hear and hard to believe but I can't hold this from you anymore it's really starting to bug the hell out of me." "You're right I am close to you guys, and it is hard to believe because of that. That doesn't mean I'll throw your opinion right out the door and bypass you Jace. If by some chance you get any proof you come back to me and present it well take the next steps form there until then your concerns stay safe with just me. I won't rule the theory out, but I wont push them without proof. My hands are tied with that and you knew that already walking in here didn't you?" She asked sitting back in her seat.

Nodding his head. "I just needed to see if you were just willing to be open to the idea." "You think I'm a puppet don't you?" "No, I have no doubt in my mind you are one of us. The way you been handling and doing your job there's no room to doubt any of that. You were made for this. It's not a wonder why you are the best. I just think that we are working with those who are puppets. It's so easy for regular cops to get up being dirty with all the side hustle they make, but for one of us Elites to become that dirty is a little heart breaking." "I agree with that. I guess we will never understand people no matter how much psychology we've studied and learned. Well good luck to you Jace." She said he came around to side hug her. "You know I'm just looking out for you boss lady right? I don't want to see anything happen to you because you couldn't be bought or seduced to join their Dons." "I know I love the love and appreciate it. I think you forget papa Russo got you beat." "I know but one more set of eyes and arms couldn't hurt." He said placing a friendly kiss to the top of her head and walking out the door.

Noah always gave off a puppet vibe if she was being honest and she always had al alert up for him never being able to prove it. Getting along easier these last few weeks with him has not changed her defenses from being up. It wouldn't surprise her if this came to be true and Jace being Jace it would take him awhile but if anyone could find it the proof it would be with him he was beyond stealthy. Could Hunter really be a puppet? Could she handle it if that was true. If he was would Xavier be aware of it? Would he be in on it to? The family was to close not to be all invested with each other. No he couldn't be, there's no way she said waving it all off in her head. Getting back to work. Deciding she couldn't stay around any longer she went in to her favorite Chinese place and placed an order after grabbing it she found Phoenix, Liam, and Killian walking around the corner.

"Well bless my luck. How you doing Ari?" Nix said pulling her close to hug her as she happily accepted and form the other two as well. Getting caught up and laughing with the guys telling them she was getting dinner for her and Xavier since it's been such a long day for them both. Getting lost in their conversation for about fifteen minutes they almost didn't see them coming. A car peeling out around the corner bullets coming out of the passenger seats. All of them heading straight for the three men. Phoenix go tone in the shoulder. Shoving him down to the ground Ariah go ton top of him pulling out her holstered little friend shooting out the tires on the car making them crash and getting two of the shooters in the arms and hands. Police officers came roaring around the corner nailing the car with the four shooters and getting them on the ground quickly.

~No One's P.O.V~

"Damn Ari fucking great shot." Killian boosted. "Oh shit Ari? Ari talk to me. OFFICER DOWN!!" Nix was screaming over to the men who started radioing it in. Ariah had taken in about five bullets standing over Nix. She was loosing a lot of blood quickly form her thighs, shoulder and just above her chest. Closing her eyes she gave into the darkness. "Sir we need to take her." The paramedics said edging him off her. "I'm riding with her." He stated seeing as the paramedics were both under his payroll. "Yes sir just move quickly." He urged as Liam shut the door. It took them a few minutes of rushing her into the O.R to quickly remove the bullets and stop the bleeding. After being in the waiting room for thirty minutes the doors busted open wit a small herd coming through it. "WHERE IS SHE?!" Phoenix knew him immediately and anger shook him, he knew it was just jealousy. Soon though soon his biggest competitor would be kneeling to him once he found he was a Don he knew a regular business man would bend to him after seeing all the power he held.

"Mr. Medina sir how can I help you?" A board member cam e rushing up Nix not realizing Xavier owned the hospital. "WHERE IS SHE?!" He growled to the older man in front of him. "Where is who sir?" "ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?" He countered back at this point the damn world knew who his woman was. "Ariah Alderman." Chloe rushed out tears and worried in all three women's eyes as their men held them close to them. "Just wait right here sir and well get someone to help us locate her. "Xav!" Hunter hollered coming from the double doors no one else was allowed into. "She's in surgery I got someone to tell us what they are doing to her." Hunter breathed out. When a nurse came out wearing her scrubs. "For Alderman." She called out over half the room filled with secret mafia members and officer, some firemen, that Ari became close to over her four months of her position.

"Wow ok. So's family?" "You looking at it lady?" Jace snapped irritated. "Alright. Ms. Alderman has five bullets being removed currently the two in the thighs have been removed before I left and stitched, the two in her shoulder are being removed as we speak. The fifth bullet was a little more tricky to grab it is in her chest luckily the breast fat tissue got it with missing anything else or anything important. She has lost a lot of blood. We will be needing to give her blood, she is to be expected to make a full recovery. We will come get the immediate family when she gets out of surgery and settled into a room. None of you will be doing her any good waiting around. Visiting hours will be well over by the time it is done. You are welcomed to stay until she is out of surgery however it will be hard for any of you to see her tonight. "You will do every and anything for her. You will come straight to me when she is out, I will have one of you come to me personally to keep me updated or I won't only have your job you'll be needing a hell of a lot more beds in this place. Once awake you will give her whatever she wants, needs. Am. I. Understood." Xavier growled lowly to her almost being nose to nose with her. "Yyyesss. Siirr. Mr. Medina sir. She said running back to scrub back up in the room.

Security refused to let him in the gallery as he could intimidate and distract the doctors making them make a mistake. "Has anyone called Chief?" Noah asked looking around. "I did. He and his wife are driving here now it will be about a whole day maybe like two in the afternoon before they make it and that's if they only stop for gas. She's going to be so mad they cut their vacation short for this." Jace said looking around at the officers. "Fuck that. Chief going to be raging pist why she's here in the first place. Better hope none of us in his way." Hunter added everyone covering their lower bits and upper half. Everyone left over time. Except Hunter, Enzo, Chloe, Ellie, Ryder, Leah, and Axel who were sitting on their men's laps silently having a tear randomly fall down their cheek not saying anything. Noah and Jace went on call. Liam, Killian, Nix and Xavier.

"Do you have something to say to me just say it." Nix said as both he and Xavier had their heads resting on the walls glaring to each other. "I have a few things I want ot say to you. Like wondering why the hell you still here. Why the hell you go ta car full of people shooting at you in the open on a public street. Why the hell my woman got five bullets to protect your sorry ass. Thought your prissy ass had body guards for this reason, yet here my woman is laid up in pain because of you. She lost so much blood apparently she could have bled out on scene. That enough being said for you?" Xavier told him lowly as his whole family even Chloe glaring at Nix and his men.

"You seriously going to blame me for getting shot at but some lowly fucking gang members, because I magically know when I'm going to get shot at right Medina? You in the same fucking business I am you know how easy of a target you can be for random people to try to hit up trying to get whatever damn dollar they can off us. So don't sit here blaming me for the actions of others." His wound in his shoulder was straight through so they just tended to it and he was free to go. "I didn't have any body guards because like you I can handle myself just fine on my own. Ariah is my friend, you know for a fact we hang out once in awhile. It's not that big of a damn city we bump into each other as we both eat at the same places. We ran into her as she was grabbing dinner for your bitch ass. I would never want her to put herself in danger for me. I didn't' aske her to knock me to the ground it happened to fucking quick. You know what else you little prick. This is apart of her job this will always be a possibility to end up here. We both know that. There's nothing I can do to help her be safe or protect her when she throws herself and life on the limb like that and there's not a god damn thing you could do either. So I suggest you just sit in your damn corner and chill like the rest of us and try to figure out how you're going to handle it if or when she gets back in here because of some other damn injury she can get into because she will never change her job and this will always be a possibility if you can't handle this shit. If it's too damn much for you now then maybe you are man enough to deserve to be with her and you should walk away now. She needs a man who's stronger then this to be strong for her. Accepting that this could always be a possibility and if you think you're going to make her feel bad for it when she wakes up you should just leave now because she doesn't need that shit right now. "Phoenix said as he rose up and walked half way to Xavier. Knowing he didn't know who he was messing with.

"You think I don't know that boy? You don't think I understand what all her job entails? You stupider than I thought you were. You don't think I know or understand why she's really here. From some little piss ant Shadow member who was on a certain area he had no business in, so the other offended people started to shoot out hoping they could get someone they think was important, to help get him out of the way? You don't think I know what kind of game you playing with my woman in there? You will never get your hooks into Ariah she is mine. She will always be mine. My future wife, my baby mama. Just MINE! You think I'm not going to sit here and put your bitch ass back into place… Gunner." He called his Don name in a whisper. Making Liam, Killian, and Nix eyes widen in shock. Who the fuck is this guy the wondered. The doctor coming around the corner "Alderman." Xavier and the crew sprang to their feet.

"She is settled in a room the worse is over we will keep her for tonight and tomorrow night for observation and if all goes well no fever's or any other red flags she will be released the day after tomorrow. Otherwise all five bullets are removed it took about ten bags of blood to get her through a bad episode but she pulled through greatly." "Can we see her?" Hunter asked quickly. "No one will see her until tomorrow. She needs rest." "You want to tell me to my face how I can't see my woman?" Xavier asked in a tone that scared everyone even Nix and his crew. "No sir. Right this way but I strongly only suggest you to be with her sir. We don't want to overwhelm her." "You guys can back in the morning and call me when you have it." He said to the men hugging the girls and kissing their cheeks back to. His little sisters he always sees them. The men nodding to him. Turning to the other three. "You don't need to waist the trip. Seems you have other things you need to straighten out don't you think? " He said walking away to the room Phoenix fuming mad, yet a part of the asshole leaving his view had a point he did have some things to straighten out.

He had his men searching for any Shadow member they could get their hands on and bring them to his special play room. "Find anything you can linking Xavier to anything that would make him know who we are. We don't need him outing us to anyone. He is a liability." "I doubt that very seriously." Killian said plainly not even worried about it. "How can you even think that you know how simple it would be?" Liam said getting a little irritated. "Easy because he obviously has known for a long time and if he was going to do anything that dirty to us he would have done it to us already. Ariah has no idea who we are. There has to be a reason for that. Why else would he not out us to a cop a half fed no less. Unless he is hiding how or why he knows, how he knows about us. Like say being in the same line of work. Think about it, he himself not telling her who we are because he is the same line of work and once she starts asking questions she leaves him. HE already made it clear right now he plans to build his life around her, you think she will go through with it with a man who lied to her? Remember no one has even seen what Reaper looks like, what if he's been right in front of our face the whole time?" Killian asked them his hands still in his pockets. Pulling out his phone. "Lincoln grab Heath, and Jared I got a project for you."
