Chapter 69 - A heart to heart talk with her eldest brother

Jake put down his Desert Eagle "Do you have enough strength in your arms?"

Jemisha's eyes light up 'I have!'

"Alright, then practice with the Desert Eagle first."

She picked up the gun and started to shoot her target and she scored a perfect.

She put it down and she picked up her five-seven.

She shot her target again and she shot a perfect again.

"My baby sister really has good accuracy."

Jemisha was happy about his praise.

'Jake can you teach me how to set traps?'

"Aren't you already good in that?"

'Yeh financial traps, and defense lines but I want to learn how to set different traps.'

"What did Jack teach you?"

'He taught me how to track, erase my tracks, hide and shoot.'

"Well I would love to teach you… but I need to ask Jack first, because the traps I set are kind of dangerous to set up and you know Jack doesn't want you to become a murderer."

"He already seen your raw killing intelligence, and we don't want you to become a calculative assassin."

'I understand, and if he doesn't want me to learn than that is fine, then I let you set all the traps.'

"You're not going to throw a fit if he say's no?"

'I won't, because I don't want to fight with him, the last time I got angry at him I ran away and I know I made him worry so much so that I hurt him even more, I don't want to see that look on his face, like I did on the day I was mutilated and almost died.'

Jemisha looked dejected.

Jake was secretly recording their conversation.

"But wasn't that two years ago?"

She nodded.

'The day the 5 of them kidnapped me they were all nice to me, although Jack didn't speak much he treated me as a little sister from the beginning.'

'It made me feel safe when I was around him.'

'And when he lectured me for doing something what he considered as unsafe I snapped and yelled at him.'

'When I was in Mexico and finally cooled my head I realized what I had said to him… I knew I hurt him very bad because I felt very hurt as well.'

'But when I was dying I told him I was sorry for my behavior, but by doing that, I hurt him even more…'

"Rose…although you weren't adopted by us back then you already treated each other as sibling, but sibling do fight sometimes, and it doesn't mean you have bad blood, it's just that you disagree on something."

Jake hugged her "Baby Rose you were 17 then and consider what you have been through you were just on edge, you are still trying to find your place in the world."

"Although we are not with you every day, doesn't mean we don't love, care or worry for you, but we want to give you space to grow and be on your own."

Jake told Rose to pack up and they will talk some more on the way home.

He felt he only had scratch the surface of what was bothering her and what she really wanted to say.

Jemisha was packing up and Jake send the recording with the text to be continued.

Jack was listening to the conversation and thought she was as open to Jake as she was to him, he felt relieve knowing she felt just as safe and secure with Jake as she feels with him.

Jake and Jemisha arrived at Strangers Hill and although she was blindfolded that time she remembered the scent of the area and knew where she was, the scenery was breath taking and they went inside the cottage.

He sat down and Jemisha curled up on his lap and then started to talk more.

'I know you want me to have my space, but I don't need it right now.'

'I'm well ahead of anybody of my age, I already have a successful company, but what I need is my brothers, taking care of me teaching me.'

"Baby Rose…"

"What do you really want?"

'I know I have to go back to the Argenti at some point, but I don't want to.'

'It was my mother who requested Harvey to take care of me in her absence, but I don't want to be separated from my brothers, I want to stay at the Conor family and be forever your baby sister Rose Conor.'

Jake finally manged to get it out of her and stroke her had "If you really want to stay with us and be our little baby Rose I don't mind, and Jack won't object either."

"It's your life and you should decide what you want, if being with us makes you happy then we will gladly keep you as our little sister for the rest of our life's."

'Thank you Jake…'

"But I do want you to keep your promise with Jack to stay grey. And if there comes a point you feel you can't, just run, run to me and I will make sure you'll stay grey."

Jemisha nuzzled Jake, 'I promise big brother.'

Jake looked at the time "Let's go back and cook dinner together for everybody."

Jemisha nodded and stood up.
