It's been a while since Julian took Lexi back to the OR to repair the damage that was done in the struggle. I'm sitting in my office with Vance while we're waiting on Brent to show is ass up. We need answer and Brent has some, not all but some and that's a start.
I'm tapping my pen on my desk which I can tell is getting on Vance's nerves but I don't care, I have to do something with all this energy I have pent up.
Just as Vance is about to tell me off there's a knock on my door, "Come in."
I call to the person on the other side. Brent swaggers in and closes the door but stops just before taking a seat.
"What's going on Voughn?" He asks not liking the situation one bit.
"Take a seat Brent. There's some question that need to be answered."
"What makes you so sure I have the answers you want."
Before I can say anything Vance cuts through this with a,"Cut the shit Brent and talk."
I sigh and continue, "We just spent the last couple of hours trying to get through to Lexi, we're at the point where we need help since she's back in the OR because she tried to fight us and reopened some of her injuries. So please if you have any information that will help things go smoothly for her and us you need to tell us Brent. "
He looks shocked and guilty but in the next second he has it under control." Ok let me ask you guy's some questions then I'll know how to answer yours."
"First, did one or both of you exile her back to her own world?"
I'm shocked how can he even ask this, he was with us when we looked for her.
"Of course not. You should know better since you helped us look for her." Vance cuts in before I can answer.
"Ok, so onto the next question, did one or both of you send Zach St. James to her to have him kill her so you guy's could marry Nicole?"
" Are you fucking kidding me if we knew where Lexi was all this time she would have been dragged back home with us. We would never send that SOB after our wife." I say getting up to pace I can't take this while seated anymore.
"I had to ask." He says.
"Why?" Is all Vance asks.
Brent sighs and says,"When I found her in that alley, she told me you two had sent her back and then Zach showed up on your orders to kill her so you guys could marry Nichole."
"But what would Zach get out of helping us kill her?" Vance asks before I could.
"Reinstatement to the Red Army and his title bcak." Brent answers without emotions.
I plop back down in my chair as what he said sinks in. It goes with what we have heard Lexi say for the last two hours. Oh fuck. No wonder she's been pushing us away and fighting, she really is trying to stay alive. As this sinks in my heart tears when another thought comes to me, she doesn't think she'll last long. What did she ask, "Why did you allow Julian to save me?"
I look up to see Vance pale and in the same shock I am. It looks like he came to the same conclusion.
"This is why the bond is broken, isn't it?" Vance asks. And all I can do is nod my head. We lost her before she ever came back to us.
It's alot to get through for her to trust us again. And I don't even know if we should try.
"Thanks Brent. We need to have some time to go through all this." I say to him.
"I understand but please be careful this is not her fault she's just someone's means to an end here." He says. And with that he gets up and walks out the door.
" Fuck, what should we do now Voughn?"
"I don't know. But we need to ask ourselves do we want to do anything or just leave it and her alone while we move on this our lives." I say to him wondering which side he's on. I can see his temper flare and he shoots out of the chair and looms over my desk at me,
"What do you mean about just leaving it alone. She's our wife and I for one am not going to walk away because it becomes easier then trying to get through to her. Fuck you can if you want to but I'm not leaving her to this mess all alone." With that he turns to walk away when his hand reaches the door handle I stop him with,
"I'm not going to either but it's going to be a long road ahead of us. Lexi won't believe us especially with us having Nicole in our lives. Then there is getting her to trust us again and then working our way up to love. Are you sure this is what you want?"
I have to know because either way it will crush us if it goes bad.
"Yes, I still love her. She's still my wife how about you? You sound like your ready to wash your hands of this whole thing and just take an easier road." Vance cuts me with this but he has a right to ask since she's both of ours.
I take a minute to think about it then I come to the conclusion that there was never any choice for me anyways. It all leads back to her, Lexi is still our wife.
"Ok so do you have any ideas on how to start this.?" I ask because I'm at a total loss.
"I think your idea about having our mind connected is how we should start, don't you?"
"Hmm, yes it's kinda underhanded but that gives us an easier way to monitor her and we can use that to guide her into trusting us again. " I answer Vance. The more I think about it the more I like the idea. It's a sneaky way to manipulate the situation to our liking and if all goes well she'll never know what we are doing.
My phone rings, bring an end to this conversation.
"Yes."
"She out of surgery. Only minor damage so she should be up in an hour or so." Julian informs me and I quickly relay the information to my brother.
"I have a question, can we start to give her blood, she's lost so much already?" There's a short pause then he answers,
"I don't see why not just make sure she's out before you do it. We don't need a repeat of what happened earlier."
"Ok. We'll be down there in a few minutes. " I say and hang up the phone. I look at my brother and say,
"It's time to go and take our wife back weather or not she likes it or not." With that said I get up and join Vance at the door we both look at each other and I notice that he's got this predators glem in his eyes.
Yes, it's time to let the games begin.
