"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Jerome asked as he stepped into his office.

Josette froze, slowly turning around in his chair. "Hey..." she said with a nervous chuckle.

"I thought you were gonna be gone for a while." The girl added as Jerome sat on the edge of the desk looking at her. "Change of plans doll face."

"So whatcha doin...in my office?"

The brunette scrunched her shoulders. "Oh nothing. I just missed you so much." A bright smile grew on her face.

"Yeah I'm not buying it." Jerome said shaking his head.

"Okay fine. You caught me." Josette said rolling her eyes. "It's just. What that guys said. Paul. He said that whoever he was working for has eyes everywhere. And I wanted to look into it. But found nothing. Whoever these people are must be pretty well hidden to not have anyone discover them."

Jerome stayed silent letting her talk "so I took matters into my own hands."

Instantly Jerome let out a groan "Jesus what the fuck did you do?"

"Last week I broke into Jeremiah's house and stole some things. Paul said Beatrix was a prostitute...secretly to earn the extra cash plus she was in the circle Paul was talking about. So she must have phone numbers, addresses or something that could lead us somewhere in the right direction. I haven't looked through them yet but I'm gonna right now."

Jerome let out a sigh. "Jo. That's great. But right now I don't think we should be worrying about that. We can figure that out later. Not right now."

She stood up crossing her arms "why not? People are dead because of them."

"Look we can slowly look into it but I don't think it's the best idea if we get caught up in this now." Jerome spoke carefully, for once.

"Are you just saying this because you want to catch them or something? You don't want me to do it?" His fiancée questioned

"No! That's not it at all! You and I are having a child in less than a month! I would appreciate it if you kept from getting the both of you killed!" He shouted making her flinch

For the first time Jerome was being the mature one here.

Josette felt tears form in her eyes. 'Oh god. He's right. Does that make me a horrible mother?' She thought to herself. "I'm sorry. Your right...she's not here yet and I'm already failing." A saddened chuckle escaped her lips.

"No your not. You could never fail her. The fact that you care that your failing already makes you a great mom. Better than your mother and way fucking better than mine." He told her.

"Where the hell did get that from?" She questioned with a smile.

Jerome shrugged his shoulders "I read some books here and there..." the ginger said with a smirk making Josette laughed.
