It was about day ten of sixteen here that I got notice that my non-family reason for coming here was ready and when I let my ladies know what I was going to do they insisted on taking part. Yes I had other motives for France but their happiness is just as important to me as taking care of a promise I made.
I'm sitting at a Café with my ladies when I see my target, he's young and has black hair like his father while the older woman he's with is nagging him about his school work. He's trying to get her to lighten up and finally she heads off as he sits down on a bench when Rachael smiles at me and stands up from the table moving over to the boy. He's maybe fifteen or sixteen which means Rachael has him wrapped around her finger as she invites him back to our table. Boy is naïve but we're friendly and the only thing I have for him are good intentions as we sit and I speak with Justin. We talk and I learn he's obviously not native to the country, he's American like we are and when the girls decide to take a walk I watch him as he stares at a couple of their asses but it doesn't worry me in the slightest. I ask him about his family and he grimaces a little.
"My dad left my mom when I was nine or so. He just rode off on his bike and didn't come back so Mom moved us here so that we could have a fresh start," Justin tells me a little sad.
"Alright well I can beat around the bush with all this talk about what you were told but I am going to tell you what I know," I reply taking a folder out of my bag and handing it to him," That right there is the warrant for kidnapping that your mother has in the United states right now…"
His shock takes over and when he stands up fast to get away I'm up quicker and cut him off. He's unsure of me now and I try to calm him.
"Listen, I'm not here to ruin anyone's life but let me say my piece and if you aren't interested I'll walk away and that's the end of it. I am not after your mother and nobody is going to go to jail but I want you to listen to me first and decide what you want to do after," I explain and we both sit back down as he looks through the papers," I met your father a year ago, he didn't run you were taken by your mother. She was scared of who she thought your father was and she ran but your dad loves you, never think he left you."
"I don't understand why he doesn't come here himself," Justin asks, brushing his hair out of his face.
"He doesn't know, I know and I'm here to offer you something that you'd never have. I can take you to him and have you brought back afterwards if you like, it's the start of the summer and you can spend the time with him then head back here afterwards but it's your call," I inform him.
"I would like to but Mom won't let me," He laments leaning back in his chair.
"If you come back with me then we don't go to Plan B which is scaring her with kidnapping charges, I'll get them dropped and you'll be moved back to the U.S. anyway," I tell him and he wants to go on the defensive but I cut him off," That's not the plan but she doesn't need to know that. Justin, I know your Dad pretty well. He's tough and he's got some questionable business mind you BUT he's a good man and a man of his word. He did right by me and I promised him I would find you and try to get you two back together but it's your call."
We continue to talk and after a while my ladies come back and we all resume talking. We don't talk about his mother or father but focus on him. He feels out of place a lot because of his accent and he's had some trouble with ladies which my girls go down the list with advice and explain how to properly get a ladies attention and keep it. I smile as they go through lessons with Justin before his mother comes over to us a couple hours later and takes him away. I watch him take the folder with papers and before leaving, he's got her. More days pass and we're almost at the end of the trip when I get a call, he wants to come with us and when I give him our timetable he pauses but agrees.
His mother seeing him off is a tense moment for her and she stares at me anxious but my ladies are the ones to explain to her who we are and what we do. I let Rachael and Kori do most of the talking to her as I focused on Justin and assured him that his mother will be fine as I called Mr. Delauter, referenced as my legal counsel, and was getting the charges dropped. I also called Sid and as soon as we had Justin and let him know that I needed to see him at the airport as soon as we landed and gave him the time. He tried to balk it but I made sure to insist that it be him there and he agreed finally. The flight back my ladies are gushing with happiness and when Justin tries to pick up on Rachael she has to drop the Married bomb on him and when he finds out all of them are my wives I get some of that envy stare my way. Long hours on the plane to New York and then back to Washington we disembark the plane and my family, all of them, are waiting for us. Hugs all around and a lot of how was the trip when I spotted Devil's Best as we hit the parking structure.
"Guy you need to let me know what is so goddamn important that I have to drive up from Texas and why can't Hawk handle this," Sid asks loudly as we are walking to vehicles with family in tow.
I calmly walk Justin to the front of our group and Sid barely recognizes his own features on his son.
"Sid this is Justin, I found him and he's here to get to know his dad. You mind taking him off my hands for a couple months," I ask, letting the two meet for the first time in maybe six years.
It's a tense and happy moment as they start to reconnect and Hawk has something for me as I'm handed back my leather jacket with a giant back patch on it. It takes me a moment to read the patch; it's a giant shield with a skull in the middle of the shield wreathed in blue flame and the initials of my wives and my own initials on it. I thanked him for my jacket back and walked it over to Kori and had her put it on me.
"We need to go home, we have a life to build ladies," I remarked, getting big smiles.
