"Your dad is gonna give me away ..." Janine said to Maddox. They were out shopping and Janine was looking at baby things. "I'd like him to."
"If you want him to, you should."
"And when will you fix it?"
"Fix what?"
"Your relationship."
"Ok. Pause, Janine. What you're not gonna do is try to convince me to make amends with my father. You have your relationship and I'll have mine the way i want and I'll move things on my own damn terms."
"I'm going to try and convince you because it just makes sense. He's asking to be let back in. Please. I have not asked you for anything at all. Just this one thing." Janine picked up a small piece of clothing.
"Janine!" He yelled, "my relationship with my father is fuckin non-negotiable! Don't ask anymore or you WILL cause problems between us!"
A man walked up to them, "is there a problem over here?"
"Who the fuck invited you over here?! Is anyone bleeding or crying over here? No! Did she ask for your gotdamn help? No! Get the FUCK out of my face!"
Janine had frozen as soon as he yelled at her like that. Her eye twitched a bit and she wanted so badly to lash out. But she had to remember who this was to her, that she was pregnant, and she needed to calm down. But unfortunately, now she was incredibly angry. She balled up the tiny piece of clothing she was holding, held her breath and stared at him as the shop worker walked up to them. After Maddox yelled at him, Janine roughly dropped the shit she was holding to the ground, then turned around and stormed her ass out of the store.
Maddox followed Janine and stopped her from getting in the car, "don't even fucking act like I'm in the wrong right now. Its you who is butting into shit you shouldn't."
Janine didn't even look at him. She tilted her head to the side, snatched the car door open and sat inside.
"Alright we can do this," he walked away to go catch a cab.
| Later |
Janine took her sweet time getting home. She went to the gun range and unloaded for two hours, walked the pier, then went and picked up a giant fruit platter from the organic food store. When she got home, she went to the kitchen, opened the platter and dumped all the cantaloupe, pineapples and mangoes into a bowl, then walked around eating it.
Maddox however hadn't gone home and was at his mother's house, "I'm just so damn pissed, Ma."
"I understand honey. But ... With marriage comes compromise. There isn't anything you can take from this?" She was in the kitchen, working on a pie, "hmm? I compromised with your father and let him come over here once a day to grovel, then he leaves."
"The speed i move with my father is not for her to decide. I already told him i would be open to working on our relationship, but at my own pace, and she should respect that."
"She should," Lynn agreed.
"What makes me more mad is she doesn't see that because she is my father's drone. He's everything to her and i get it, but for most of my life. My dad has been too busy for me."
"That is true but he loves you. So much, baby. Now he has the opportunity to make it right when YOU are ready. Tell Janine to cool it."
"Tried, maybe i told her the wrong way but I'm that angry."
"I think ... You told her the wrong way." Lynn patted his hand.
"I know but i said it regular to begin with and then she kept pushing it."
"Alright. Honey. I hope everything is okay by morning."
"Yeah, well, i better get out of here," he kissed his mother on the head.
"Love you.." lynn hugged him
"I love you too mama," he smiled and left to go home.
| Later |
Maddox got home. Janine knew he'd arrived and didn't give a shit. She was in their bedroom, sitting on the loveseat with her legs up and folded, kindle in one hand reading a book about babies, and almonds in the other hand, popping some into her mouth as she read.
Maddox walked in to their bedroom, "lets talk."
"No thank you." She responded without looking up from her book.
"Well, I'm talking. Sorry, for talking to you like I did, however, i am not sorry for what i said. You need to respect my wishes. If this is gonna work, you have to respect my feelings." he looked to her.
"If this is going to work?" She looked up at him, "if this is going to work? What the fuck?"
"Yes, generally speaking, you respect me and i respect you."
"You respect me by not yelling at me in my fucking face like I'm some random who pissed you off. I need to respect your wishes but you don't need to respect mine ... right?"
"You miss everything i said. I started with sorry and i just said we both need to respect each other. Why would i expect you to respect me and i wouldn't give you any in return? You forget i spoke in a completely tamed tone until you kept pressing the issue."
"Whether I press or not ... you don't need to talk to me like that. Walk away." She went back to reading her book.
"Right ... we'll ignore the fact that i just apologized. Cool, lets keep this up, lets stay mad. Because that's what you want to do. Remember, i came to you, trying to talk, but every time we get in a damn argument, you always want to keep it going and even if you are wrong, you never apologize. I'm stubborn, but baby you take the damn cake. When you're ready to talk, you know where ill be," he walked off, intending on a spare room.
"I'm not wrong and therefore can't apologize." She said loud enough for him to hear. Janine would have apologized for nothing had he not said 'if this is going to work' because that made her anger worse. At least now, she didn't have to tell him to leave, he went on his own and she was fine with that. Maddox was exhausted,this is why they were always on and off, her stubbornness. She also always read into things incorrectly.
| Morning |
Maddox got up and made breakfast for the both of them. He put hers on the table and went to the bedroom, "your breakfast is ready..." he announced to her and then walked off.
Janine sighed and turned over. She just wanted to sleep but she was starving. She got up and brushed her teeth, combed her hair into a ponytail and went downstairs. "Thanks ... I'm so hungry." She sat down and took a moment to rub her stomach.
"You're welcome..." he nodded and drank some orange juice.
"When you get off, can we try the registry again?" She started eating.
"Yeah ..." he agreed.
"Great." They finished eating in silence. No, things were not okay. Nothing magically fixed itself overnight. Maddox was right, she's as stubborn as they come and could become irrational with it. Then again, Janine had learn everything about normal life in only a few years time. When they finished, a maid cleaned off the table and Janine went back up to bed. Maddox left to work, trying his hardest to change his attitude the whole day.
| Later |
Janine spent her afternoon crying to Doc about Maddox yelling at her, "stubborn or not. I'm not apologizing and I did nothing wrong."
"Why wouldn't you? Didn't you say he apologized?"
"Yes. So ..." blinking as tears fell, "I'm supposed to when he does?" She was confused.
"My question is why wouldn't you? He told you cool it and you continued to press it. I appreciate you, i do, but i dont want you to fight because of me."
"I've always done what you said to do. It's all I was doing." She wiped her face.
"But don't risk your relationship."
"Jesus!" She leaned back on her couch, "Okay. I'll fix this. Okay. I don't know how but okay."
"Remember, your man comes first. Dont jeopardize that for anyone," he rubbed her hand.
She sighed, "Okay. You won't stop coming around will you?"
"Of course not," he smiled.
And just like that, Janine felt better. Doc always fixed everything.
| That Evening |
Janine waited for Maddox at home. When he got there, she was cooking, but went to greet him. She only gave him a tight hug and stood on her toes and kissed him, then went back to the kitchen.
"Hello ..." he smiled as she walked off.
"Hi. Hold on," she rushed back to check the halibut.
"Holding," he took off his coat.
She turned it down low, then went back to him, "I'm sorry. I was an idiot. I was thinking like Doc's protege and still taking orders like they're the bible. You're my number 1 now. I didn't forget, but it was like my mechanics override that if Doc asks me to do something. Won't happen again." Yet she still felt like she wasn't wrong. Go figure. Either way, she was still doing what Doc told her to do.
He smiled and just kissed her, "i love you."
"I love you too." Smiling, she rushed back to the kitchen. "YOUR MOM IS COMING OVER FOR DINNER."
"Good! Im gonna hop in the shower really quick..." he ran off to do so.
By the time Maddox showered, Janine was putting food on the table and Maddox's mother was brought in by the butler. "Hi Ms Lynn." Janine went to greet her.
"Hey sweetie, how are you and my grand baby?!" She hugged her.
"We're good. Growing too fast. Come sit. Dinner is ready and Maddox will be down in a minute."
"How is everything?"
"Fine! And you?"
"Im great, just miss having kids in the house," she pouted as Maddox came down, "baby," she jumped up to hug him.
"Hey mama," he leaned down and hugged her tightly.
"I was just telling Janine I wanted a baby in the house. Trent's son got too big too fast," she sat back down.
"I asked her over," Janine told them, "just so I can get some talk time in since Lynn knows everything about babies. I've read books but I know books don't really prepare you."
"Oh no, experience is where its at, baby," Lynn smiled, "I'm always here to assist though."
"I'll need the help. Honestly. It's a little scary."
"Thats normal. You have a good guy helping you. Maddox is great with kids."
"That's what he says," Janine winked at him.
"I do... ma, how are you and dad?" Maddox sipped his wine and looked at his mother.
"Um i can look at him without being angry.." she admitted. Maddox nodded and went back to eating. "Well... what about you?" Lynn grinned.
"Uhh we got together for lunch today. He showed up, i didnt say no."
Janine gasped and nearly coughed up her juice, "and ..." She calmed herself, "How did it go?"
"Fine.. it went fine."
"That's ... That's ... nice." Grinning too hard. From then on, everything would be fine. Doc is always right.

Doc's Little Girl - 11
| 4 Months Later |
Janine got pregnant almost immediately. Everything remained quiet as far as the Business was concerned but routine checks were done. Janine talked Maddox into moving into her house since it has the necessary security and she felt she'd need it if she were pregnant and shit popped off. One afternoon, security called into the house, "visitor at the gate."
Janine turned the security feed on the tv and took a breath, then hit the intercom button, "let him in."
Doc drove into the gate, finding a place to park which was behind Maddox's car. Stepping out, he began heading to the door which was opened by Janine, "look at you," he referred to the house.
"It was needed," she smiled uncontrollably. "I can't believe you're here."
"Yeah, me either," he walked up to her, and gave her the tightest hug, "you look beautiful."
"Careful." She backed up and patted her stomach after kissing him on the cheek.
"No way!" He smiled so big and softly held her stomach, "this is beautiful," he shook his head, "Maddox?"
She nodded and they went inside. She showed him her ring, "you came back just in time."
"Yes i did..." he looked around, "where's my boy? "
"Maddox ..." Janine walked Doc to the den.
"Yeah baby?" He was watching basketball and didn't even look away from the screen
"Visitor. I'll give you two a minute." She smiled up at Doc again, then walked out.
Maddox looked away from the tv and instantly grumbled to himself. He shit off the tv, "what?" He looked up to him.
"Not going to give your old man a hug?"
"No, what do you want?"
Doc took a seat on the opposing couch. "To be here."
"Ok, then be here, but dont expect me to be jumping at the chance to talk to you. When i tried, you didnt..."
"I realize that. All I'm asking is to not be cut out."
"Fine.." he nodded
Janine came back with a butler behind her. "Are you hungry?" She asked Doc as the butler set up drinks.
"Yes please, sweet heart." Doc looked to Maddox, "how's your mother?" He raised a brow.
"She's doing fine i guess..." Maddox sighed, she really wasn't.
Janine went back to make a spot for Doc. She'd feed him in front of the TV alongside Maddox, then retreat to her office. Doc kept going with Maddox, "Lia and Trent?"
"Trent's son is two now, he's happy and celia is about to graduate."
"My first grandson." He smirked, "what are you having?"
"A little girl.."
Right then, Doc laughed, a loud boisterous sound, "how about that ..."
"Yea, im happy."
Janine and the butler came back in with their food. It was buffalo wings. 3 different flavors that Janine made herself. She brought them beers, sides of mashed potatoes and ears of corn. "Im going to my office." She told them.
"Ok baby.." Maddox grabbed Janine's hand and kissed it.
Doc nodded, "thank you sweetheart."
"Anytime." She left the room.
| Hours Later |
Doc sat through the basketball game and ate the food but didnt force the conversation. Sometime after, Janine called Doc into her office.
He sat across from her "yes?"
"Nothing," she laughed and just looked at Doc. "I'm just ... Glad I did what I did. It was worth it."
"I have to say it, you've made me proud. I get to come back and live a normal life, get my family back."
"Why did you do it in the first place? Get into the business. Did you have a choice?"
"That's who i was, I'm no longer that person."
Janine paused and leaned back in her chair, putting a hand on her stomach, "I ... thought I'd changed ... But I didn't. I loved it. Every bit of it."
"Sweetheart, you are different. For me, the lifestyle was a choice, for you, the lifestyle chose you. This is just who you are, and so is this loving side of you."
She squealed, "I'm so excited! Oh! Doc ... dad ... I'd be so honored if you'd give me away at the wedding. It's going to be another year or so but ..."
"Of course, i would love to. Seems very quiet around these days."
"Everyone is dead. So yea!" She beamed.
"That would do it, i want you to be there when i propose to Lynn again."
"Awwwwwwwww." She gushed, "of course."
"Wont be for a while. Im going to see her when i leave. I have so much making up to do."
"Good luck. I don't know how things are with her other than surface information. Maddox won't let me stalk."
"Can you talk to him for me? I really want to fix this."
"I will. I'll work on him for you," smiling.
"Well I'm out of here," he stood, "i love you, and ill see you later, ok?" Doc and Janine hugged.
| Later - Across Town |
Doc showed up to lynn's and knocked on the door. Lynn was on the phone, talking to one of her girlfriends and opened the door. She looked up a her husband, "I'll call you back, Amanda." She ended the call, "you reappear."
"I am here to beg for your forgiveness for as long as you need me to. Can I please come in?"
Lynn only glared at him, then stepped back for him to come in.
Doc walked in as she closed the door. They made their way to the living room to sit, "how are you, baby?"
"Do you have an explanation?" She ignored his question.
"Of course, but how are you?"
"Lets hear the explanation first."
"I moved away to keep my family from being killed. I wanted out of the Business and there's just no quitting, so i faked my death. None of what i put you through was something i really wanted to do, it was something I had to do, to ensure your safety."
"How did you get out then? How are you here if you're obviously not dead or hiding?"
"The person who took over got rid of everyone..."
"So this person... Did you a favor? You hurt me. All you had to do was tell me."
"No. I wouldnt change it, because now I have the rest of our lives to make it up to you. We can make it all like new again."
"No. We can not. You may leave now, Maddox."
"I'm not leaving. We havent finished talking. I dont mean to excuse anything i did, but give me the chance to court you like i did in the beginning. Remind you of why you loved me to begin with."
"Get out of my house! I don't want to see you!" She stood up, "get out!"
He looked at her and nodded, "if you know one thing about me. You know I'm not done. Ill see you tomorrow," he stood and went to the door and left.
Janine got pregnant almost immediately. Everything remained quiet as far as the Business was concerned but routine checks were done. Janine talked Maddox into moving into her house since it has the necessary security and she felt she'd need it if she were pregnant and shit popped off.

Doc's Little Girl - 10
| 1 Week Later |
They laid low to survey the news and see if anyone had heard anything. When Janine was satisfied, they headed back to California on a multitude of different flights and their covers in tact. Janine got home and fell into her bed. She hadn't slept most of the trip and she needed to catch up on it desperately. Maddox wasn't informed on when she would be back so he just showed up and found her sleeping with her head under a pillow. Smiling, he got down to his knees and reached over to her, i missed you" he pulled her to the edge of the bed.
"Hey you ..." She mumbled out and then curved her body around him.
"Hey baby," he climbed to the bed, "how are you?"
"Tired but recuperating." Still with her eyes closed, she pulled the cover up over them both and buried her face in his chest, "I missed you."
"Oh yeah? " He ran his hand through her hair.
Nodding, "did you bring sunshine?" She referred to his dick.
"Nah, left it at home?"
She chuckled, "Sunshine is like American Express."
He removed her panties and parted her legs, "you right about that" he licked a few fingers and then stuck them inside her and began to rub her spot slowly.
Poor Janine still hadn't figured out how to properly flirt so American Express was what she came up with. That next morning, they went out for breakfast and stayed out all day, "I think i should buy you a ring or something ... Right?" Janine asked Maddox in an awkward fashion. They were walking past Tiffany's, "something manly, though. Is that how it works when you want to get married?"
"So you trying to take my manhood away?"
Her eyes widened. She even panicked a little. Maddox was a man ... A real man. She'd never want to threaten his manhood. She just didn't know how a marriage proposal process was supposed to work. "Of course not. But I understood it as whoever asks first. I know that in those black n white films, the woman waited for the proposal but what if I want to propose to you? Do I still have to wait?"
"Janine, don't "
She held her hands up to surrender, "sorry."
"Look i love you, but dont ever in your life get down on one knee and propose to me."
"I got it now."
"Thank you..." he kissed her forehead, "so when can i put a baby in you? Still two years? "
"Yes, but there's only about 7 months of that left. So ... Soon," she put her head on his arm momentarily, then they started walking before they stopped again to get food from a cart. Janine got a chicken and steak fajita with everything on it except tomatoes. "how many do you want, anyway?"
"20."
Janine stopped midbite, "no."
He smiled, "4 at the most."
"I can do that."
"I know you can" he rubbed her ass, "you have come a long way, you know that?"
"You proud of me?" Smiling.
"Yes, and grateful, i wouldn't want to break up with you for remaining weird."
"You REALLY would have put me down that?"
"Fuck yeah Janine, i dont want a woman who cant reciprocate the affection i need. Yeah, ive done a lot of shit, and when i met you, i was this stone wall, but thats not me. I always wanted a good relationship with my father and i didnt care how to go about it and then boom." He looked her in the eyes, "when i met you, i thought you were legit the most beautiful girl ive seen, even more so than Sasha, but the reason i didn't make stronger moves, was that whole weird murdery thing you had goin. It was a turn off."
Thankfully, she knew she was still weird and murdery, but not around him. She nodded, "I understand how that can be a turn off. I didn't realize how bad it was. Sasha had to show me."
"Yeah, and i dont care what choose to do outside of you and me, as long as you give me the girl i fell in love with."
"No problem." She bit and chewed up more fajita, swallowed, then said, "you didn't get one."
"I'll eat at home" he rubbed her head.
| Months Later |
"That's everything. It all looks good. Cubans are attempting to regroup with all new people but they won't be an issue. Mackey is still on board. According to everyone, there is no more Italian Mafia operating inside the United States, just a branch of it headed up by an unknown that is running basically everything. They'll be asking questions soon, I'm sure of it," Carson notified Janine of the entire sweep being completely successful.
"For now. Keep monitoring ... better than the NSA."
"You got it," he paused, "it's ... safe now." He mentioned to Janine, referencing Doc.
Janine nodded, "What of the remaining organizations who knew Doc?"
Carson laughed, "Joseph says they're claiming ignorance. Never heard of him."
Nodding, that was good. That was very good. She'd accomplished her goal. Business was still going as usual. Arms deals were running smoothly, information still being passed and her small corporations she created to clean out dirty money were actually pretty legit. They were good. "I just ... Need to be sure. Thank you. I'll call you later. Enjoy the bonus."
"Already on it," Carson hung up.
Janine ended the call and pulled out a burner, dialing Carmine. "Hello?" He answered.
"Clear." Janine hung up.
Now all she had to do was wait. She knew Carmine would do some checking of his own and that was fine with her. She doubted anyone thought she could clean up the US in 2 years or at all. But when you kill first and not ask questions, things move a little more swift than usual.
| Later that night |
Janine went over to Maddox's with a bottle of wine and groceries in her arm.
Opening the door, "what's up babe?" He took everything from her arms and kissed her lips.
"Absolutely nothing," she kissed him again and closed and locked the door, then followed him to the kitchen.
"Good, what you do all day?"
"Business ... All day. But ... we can make a baby now."
"Oh can we?" His smile grew bigger, "dont tease me with a good time"
"I'm not teasing. We can do this. We're celebrating," she motioned to the wine, "ta da!"
He sat everything down, "oh baby, you have made me the happiest man on earth," he picked her up off the ground.
"I even bought parenting books." She kissed him.
He smiled and kissed on her some more, "we startin tonight" he put her down.
"I threw my birth control out already. Let me make dinner."
He smiled and just kissed her on the head, and then watched her go for the pots and pans, "use the new ones in the box baby."
"Are these Martha Stewart? I love ..." She started pulling the pots and pans out, "Martha Stewart," and put them in the sink to wash when she stopped, "Oh my g o ddddddd," she said in a small whiney girl voice.
Maddox walked to her, "i love you. Its that simple baby," he removed the ring from the pot, "There is no one in this world that I'd rather be with. Will you marry me?"
"God. Yes." And this moment was why she'd killed so many people. No, she wouldn't say that, but she was over the moon.
Maddox put the ring on her finger and grabbed her head to kiss her long and hard, "i love you" he said between the kiss and then hugged her, "now make me dinner, woman."
Smiling, "Okay baby!"
They laid low to survey the news and see if anyone had heard anything. When Janine was satisfied, they headed back to California on a multitude of different flights and their covers in tact. Janine got home and fell into her bed. She hadn't slept most of the trip and she needed to catch up on it desperately. Maddox wasn't informed on when she would be back so he just showed up and found her sleeping with her head under a pillow. Smiling, he got down to his knees and reached over to her, i missed you" he pulled her to the edge of the bed.
"Hey you ..." She mumbled out and then curved her body around him.
"Hey baby," he climbed to the bed, "how are you?"
"Tired but recuperating." Still with her eyes closed, she pulled the cover up over them both and buried her face in his chest, "I missed you."
"Oh yeah? " He ran his hand through her hair.
Nodding, "did you bring sunshine?" She referred to his dick.
"Nah, left it at home?"
She chuckled, "Sunshine is like American Express."
He removed her panties and parted her legs, "you right about that" he licked a few fingers and then stuck them inside her and began to rub her spot slowly.
Poor Janine still hadn't figured out how to properly flirt so American Express was what she came up with. That next morning, they went out for breakfast and stayed out all day, "I think i should buy you a ring or something ... Right?" Janine asked Maddox in an awkward fashion. They were walking past Tiffany's, "something manly, though. Is that how it works when you want to get married?"
"So you trying to take my manhood away?"
Her eyes widened. She even panicked a little. Maddox was a man ... A real man. She'd never want to threaten his manhood. She just didn't know how a marriage proposal process was supposed to work. "Of course not. But I understood it as whoever asks first. I know that in those black n white films, the woman waited for the proposal but what if I want to propose to you? Do I still have to wait?"
"Janine, don't "
She held her hands up to surrender, "sorry."
"Look i love you, but dont ever in your life get down on one knee and propose to me."
"I got it now."
"Thank you..." he kissed her forehead, "so when can i put a baby in you? Still two years? "
"Yes, but there's only about 7 months of that left. So ... Soon," she put her head on his arm momentarily, then they started walking before they stopped again to get food from a cart. Janine got a chicken and steak fajita with everything on it except tomatoes. "how many do you want, anyway?"
"20."
Janine stopped midbite, "no."
He smiled, "4 at the most."
"I can do that."
"I know you can" he rubbed her ass, "you have come a long way, you know that?"
"You proud of me?" Smiling.
"Yes, and grateful, i wouldn't want to break up with you for remaining weird."
"You REALLY would have put me down that?"
"Fuck yeah Janine, i dont want a woman who cant reciprocate the affection i need. Yeah, ive done a lot of shit, and when i met you, i was this stone wall, but thats not me. I always wanted a good relationship with my father and i didnt care how to go about it and then boom." He looked her in the eyes, "when i met you, i thought you were legit the most beautiful girl ive seen, even more so than Sasha, but the reason i didn't make stronger moves, was that whole weird murdery thing you had goin. It was a turn off."
Thankfully, she knew she was still weird and murdery, but not around him. She nodded, "I understand how that can be a turn off. I didn't realize how bad it was. Sasha had to show me."
"Yeah, and i dont care what choose to do outside of you and me, as long as you give me the girl i fell in love with."
"No problem." She bit and chewed up more fajita, swallowed, then said, "you didn't get one."
"I'll eat at home" he rubbed her head.

"That's everything. It all looks good. Cubans are attempting to regroup with all new people but they won't be an issue. Mackey is still on board. According to everyone, there is no more Italian Mafia operating inside the United States, just a branch of it headed up by an unknown that is running basically everything. They'll be asking questions soon, I'm sure of it," Carson notified Janine of the entire sweep being completely successful.
"For now. Keep monitoring ... better than the NSA."
"You got it," he paused, "it's ... safe now." He mentioned to Janine, referencing Doc.
Janine nodded, "What of the remaining organizations who knew Doc?"
Carson laughed, "Joseph says they're claiming ignorance. Never heard of him."
Nodding, that was good. That was very good. She'd accomplished her goal. Business was still going as usual. Arms deals were running smoothly, information still being passed and her small corporations she created to clean out dirty money were actually pretty legit. They were good. "I just ... Need to be sure. Thank you. I'll call you later. Enjoy the bonus."
"Already on it," Carson hung up.
Janine ended the call and pulled out a burner, dialing Carmine. "Hello?" He answered.
"Clear." Janine hung up.
Now all she had to do was wait. She knew Carmine would do some checking of his own and that was fine with her. She doubted anyone thought she could clean up the US in 2 years or at all. But when you kill first and not ask questions, things move a little more swift than usual.
| Later that night |
Janine went over to Maddox's with a bottle of wine and groceries in her arm.
Opening the door, "what's up babe?" He took everything from her arms and kissed her lips.
"Absolutely nothing," she kissed him again and closed and locked the door, then followed him to the kitchen.
"Good, what you do all day?"
"Business ... All day. But ... we can make a baby now."
"Oh can we?" His smile grew bigger, "dont tease me with a good time"
"I'm not teasing. We can do this. We're celebrating," she motioned to the wine, "ta da!"
He sat everything down, "oh baby, you have made me the happiest man on earth," he picked her up off the ground.
"I even bought parenting books." She kissed him.
He smiled and kissed on her some more, "we startin tonight" he put her down.
"I threw my birth control out already. Let me make dinner."
He smiled and just kissed her on the head, and then watched her go for the pots and pans, "use the new ones in the box baby."
"Are these Martha Stewart? I love ..." She started pulling the pots and pans out, "Martha Stewart," and put them in the sink to wash when she stopped, "Oh my g o ddddddd," she said in a small whiney girl voice.
Maddox walked to her, "i love you. Its that simple baby," he removed the ring from the pot, "There is no one in this world that I'd rather be with. Will you marry me?"
"God. Yes." And this moment was why she'd killed so many people. No, she wouldn't say that, but she was over the moon.
Maddox put the ring on her finger and grabbed her head to kiss her long and hard, "i love you" he said between the kiss and then hugged her, "now make me dinner, woman."
Smiling, "Okay baby!"

Doc's Little Girl - 9
| Later |
Janine and Sasha retreated to the office once they got back to the house, "What else did you learn?"
"His camp is weak. Still strong in the police departments though. And he is not smart enough to maintain his business operations. He's focusing too hard on one person. Thats a fraction of the competition thats so irrelevant."
When that one person was wiping people out, that's very relevant. Joseph thought she was Asian. Nice. "It's never been a very strong camp but ... having an ally with eyes close by is an asset. Can you set up a phone call for me with him? Tomorrow," she reached into the bottom drawer of her desk and passed Sasha a paper bag with a burner cell in it, "tell him to expect the call around 3."
Sasha nodded and crossed her legs while taking the bag, "plus ive got him wrapped around my finger. No problem."
| 2 Months Later |
Cutting people down from the bottom up, as Doc suggested, wasn't working. Too many experienced unwillingness to work for a woman ... A woman that wasn't blood related to the Ames or Agnello's no matter what Doc had said. So what did Janine do? She fired the lower branch and killed the higher branch. The rest that were in other areas, she disbanded the outfit. Janine needed to bring Doc, her father, home, and would do it by any means necessary.
Only about 20 of Doc's men were respectful enough to stay on the job. The ones who'd been around Janine and Doc together and understood the relationship. They would stay on board, mostly as her personal security. Janine treated them the same as Doc did so nothing for them had changed. In the meantime, she would have them pick up a few guys. She had specific qualifications.
Inside a warehouse in the dead of night, Janine was having a meeting. She was covered in black from head to toe. All they saw were her eyes and heard her voice, now knowing it was a woman. Roughly twenty men were in the room and one of them was Jerry McKissick. He was recently released from prison after serving 13 years for sexual assault of a minor. The minor was 9 years old. She'd just given all of them the brief overview of what was to be expected of them. Not all of them were as bad off as Jerry, but most of them were. No job or low paying job, halfway house living, homeless, or almost back in jail. She'd just offered them a clean start in exchange for loyalty and a paycheck.
Jerry McKissick, however, had more questions, "you know what we all did. Why would you want us? Don't you think we might hurt you?"
"No." Janine answered quickly and walked up to where Jerry was sitting. "You're a pervert, not stupid. There's a difference. I need an army. I need a level of trust. Small from my end, large from yours. And if any of you walk out of here and I find out any of you said anything, you're dead. You will see me and I will murder you. Screaming."
"I can make you scream, baby," Jerry reached out and put his hand on Janine's hip, then started moving towards her ass. Lighting quick, she pulled a knife out of a sheath in the long sleeve of her black shirt, and stabbed Jerry in the neck, unmoving as he gurgled some of the blood that was squirting out of his neck. She sighed and looked at him as he clutched onto her legs, "disrespect," she said loud enough for everyone to hear. The room was pin drop quiet, "if anyone wants to challenge me ... Now is the time," she backed up from Jerry's dead body and went to a small open space, "be aware that this is a fight to the death." She lifted a finger and crooked it, calling to her anyone who felt willing.
One stood, cracking his knuckles and walking out towards her. He was a big man. Janine shook her head, "shame. I could have really used you." The murmurs started. Janine was only 5 foot 2 inches tall, only modestly muscled but impeccably trained. Doc, personally, trained her, so she was a machine. "Would you like a weapon?" She asked.
"I don't need no weapon to put you down, you little bitch." He was big but not wide. Muscular. He used his downtime in jail for working out. He had healed scars on his body. He'd survived some nice knife fights.
"Disrespect," Janine said and stood there waiting on his slow approach. "Any day now."
He swung at Janine as soon as he got to her. She ducked under him and punched him, a haymaker punch, to the small area in the center of his chest where his ribs met. Air whooshed out of him and he backed up, trying not to hunch forward. Underneath Janine's gloves, she always wore small brass knuckles. Doc always told her not to 'get lazy and think someone can't take a punch. Hit hard enough to break something, every time,' he'd always said. Janine gave the guy no time to recover, she punched him in the jaw, the gut, the kidney, and finally the neck. The blows came in rapid succession. The big man backed up to the wall, face read, she'd crushed his wind pipe. Janine tilted her head to the side, then said to everyone, "this is what the lighter side of disrespect looks like ... That," she pointed to Jerry, "is the darker side. If we have a deal, you may go. I'll meet you back here in 3 days." She pulled back and punched the man, as hard as she could, right in his chest, over his heart. His eyes went wide and he dropped to the ground.
| 8 Months Later |
Janine successfully amassed the army she wanted. Not only were they insanely loyal but were ready and eager to go on missions after they were properly trained. She slept easier knowing they were watching the house around the clock.
Janine still held onto her aloof outward appearance in case any questions came up. More months passed and preparations were nearly complete to begin shutting down opposing operations and bring her 'dad' back home. "I need 30 ... for each location," she was talking to Carson on the phone. "Burners and hand weapons. Preferably switch blades."
"Quick and quiet?" He was making mental notes. Carson was a smart ass tech nerd who used to work for the Pentagon. The Pentagon always employed nerds who would literally spend all day trying to break the Pentagon's encryption. That way, they would find out if the encryption could be broken, how, and how they can keep it from happening again. Carson, had cracked it 3 times, once after every update. Instead of giving him a much needed raise and promotion, they deemed him too dangerous and 'retired him' at the age of 28 with full pension along with signing multiple stacks of paperwork that said he would basically never do any technical job or say he ever worked for the government.
"Yes." Janine responded, "I also want hand guns with high quantity rounds that can be suppressed. I want them in swat gear as well."
"Got it... and should these all happen simultaneously?"
"They must. We're arriving, suiting up, then going in. Your guys have to monitor."
"What will be your point of position, boss?"
"I'll let you know. I'm going for the big fish myself. Just get enough gear for my men." She paused, "wait. I'll need extra when i got to New York to get the Russians. Add an extra 10."
"Absolutely. Anything else from me?"
"That's it. Send me the figures so I can get the money wired to you for purchases."
"Yes ma'am," he said in an excited tone and hung up.
| 3 Months Later |
Janine and her team went to New York and took down the entire Russian outfit that had overwhelmed Doc to the point of leaving. Yvgeny, their top dog, was said to have been the one who 'killed Doc' and would brag about it anywhere he went. Yes, the Italians left the Russians bloody on that last mission, but definitely not dead. They didn't know that. All they knew is that Doc's 'body' had been discovered a mile from their final fight zone. That was good enough for them. Yvgeny was taken back to California and put in that sub basement of the hideout house and left there until Janine could decide what to do with him.
Not long after that, Janine needed to take down anyone who helped the Russians. The Cubans needed to go. Janine and 30 men in SWAT gear were rolling through a Miami, FL suburb in plumbing vans in the middle of the night. They had radio com equipment in their ears, guns, enough bullets on each person to reload 10 times over, and a single blade they kept close to their heart in case worse came to worse. About 5 miles from the compound, Janine radio'd everyone, "Anyone not in our gear ... Dies. None of them walk away. I'm talking maid service, animals, kids, I don't give a fuck. If anyone lives to tell the story, you won't. Understood?" She got grumbles of approval from each appointed captain in each van. Janine, decked out in SWAT gear as well, prepared to go in.
3 vans of men were given a 15 minute head start to deal with the outside guards. With night vision goggles on, they moved quietly throughout the grounds, picking off the outside guards from the tower, perches, and even dogs. When that 15 was up, the front van stormed the gate and inside they went.
By the end of it, Janine had lost only 5 men whose bodies were taken back to the van. Ricardo Montega was found in his safe room with his woman. "Cut communications off to the outside," she said to Carson in the earpiece. Once he signaled it was down, Janine pulled her face gear off and looked at Ricardo, "so who is this?" She referred to his woman.
He looked at her with an unbothered smile, "Bridgette."
"You can go now, honey." Janine told her, also confident she would be taken care of once she left the safe room. Looking back at Ricardo, Janine took a seat and smiled, "sources say you helped the Russians 'off' Doc Ames."
"Please... but i wish I had," he looked to Janine, "my colleagues took care of that."
"Your colleagues? Ygveny and his friends? The ones who were killed in a raid about 3 days ago?"
Ricardo's smile faltered just a little. There was no way anyone could break through Yvgeny's defenses. He was swarmed by people at all times. Was this true? "And ... Who are you, beautiful?"
"Just some muscle ... closing a wound."
"Muscle? That supple body?"
Janine smiled, "you would be surprised. Anything you want to say before you're put to sleep?"
Ricardo laughed, "just do it.." he smoked his cigar, honestly not believe he was about to go down due to a ... Woman. A very small woman.
"Good man," Janine walked out and the firing squad ensued. She passed Bridgette's dead body on the way down a grand staircase, "everyone out," she yelled. When they came out, Carson thumbed up from a van, signaling the coms were back on, "blow that shit and let's get out of here."
10 minutes later, all men were out and the place lit up like the 4th of July. They all piled into the vans to go hold up until they could leave to check in at the next location.
40 miles away, Alonzo Montega met his demise. He wasn't involved, but his twin was Ricardo and Janine couldn't take that chance. Pulling up to Alonzo's, it was already engulfed in flames, "looks like we're right on time," Carson smiled.
"I need confirmation ..." Janine got out of the van but told Carson, "tell D Vaz to bring the body so I can see it myself."
"Afterwards? You never instructed for him to bring the body."
Janine took a deep breath and then nodded, she turned to the 5 other men she rode with, "find D Vaz and bring him to me now. Thank you," then she sat on the inside of the van. New frustration on her face. While they were getting him, Janine asked Carson, "was their any surveillance inside?"
"There was surveillance at all locations."
"Let me see the feed from here ... Before I kill this man." She went to the monitor and leaned on the console. Carson nodded, not sure why a man had to die because she neglected to mention one detail. But in Janine's mind, it was an unspoken rule. She'd worry about that another time. Pulling up the camera feed, he handed the small tablet over to her. Janine watched Montega's execution. At least Alonzo had more spark in him than Ricardo. Alonzo went down shooting even though he lost. Still, there was no body Janine could pick at even though the feed said things were handled properly. And still, Alonzo's body was there when the outside camera feed captured the explosion. After she was done viewing the footage, DVaz appeared, "it's common knowledge that I want to see the body when I'm not personally involved. I'm a woman. Actions speak louder than words. Don't make that mistake again. Let's get ready to pull out." Everyone nodded and they left to the safe house.
Janine and Sasha retreated to the office once they got back to the house, "What else did you learn?"

Doc's Little Girl - 8
| That Night |
"I need the final dossier." Janine told Constantine over an Italian burner cell phone. "All of it. I know you have it."
"What?" Constantine shook his head, "sorry wrong fuckin number!" He hung up the phone and then broke it.
30 minutes later she received a phone call, "come outside."
After that call, Janine busted up the cell, then went outside and started a stroll down the block. "Stop fucking mentioning him on phones, got it?" He pulled her to a cellar in the bottom of Nonna's, "what do you need to know?"
"You make me sad," she told Constantine, "everything. With detail."
"Why? Is your life not good? You own everything. What more could you want?"
"Owning everything means nothing if I can't enjoy it."
"Then start enjoying it. Doc has nothing to do with your happiness, consider him just a ghost."
"He has everything to do with my happiness. Now give me what I asked for. I need to know who to make deaf, mute, and blind."
"Dont you get it? I dont owe you shit. I made one promise, to my BLOOD. And you, are not that. If you had all these questions, you shoulda asked him when he came to you. You run shit, but you dont REALLY run shit, so stop waving your imaginary dick because it's pissing me off," he looked her in her eyes.
"You poor thing ... You really do have a problem with women as authority figures, don't you?" She said as sympathetically as possible.
"Dont patronize me, that's one way to be on your own. Im only helping you because of Doc, not out of the kindness of my heart. So watch your fucking mouth."
"I'll take that information now," was all she said. Was she defeated? No. But she needed what he knew and obviously couldn't hurt him to get it.
"Goodnight.." he began to leave.
"Swear to God, i don't have time for your fucking BULLSHIT, CONSTANTINE." Now she was getting angry, "YOU DON'T LIKE ME, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I NEED TO GET SOMETHING DONE AND YOU HAVE WHAT I NEED BUT IM NOT GONNA SUCK YOUR GOT DAMN COCK TO GET IT."
Constantine continued to leave as Doc appeared, "some mouth on you," he locked the door behind him, "what do you want, Janine?"
Janine straightened up as soon as she saw him, "sorry ..." She felt the need to explain herself, "he makes me angry."
"He's only doing as i told him. Besides, Constantine pisses everyone off."
Nodding, "I have to figure something out before I lose Maddox for good. We're breaking up for real when we get back to the U.S. Since I'm ... In this for life ... I need to clean up some loose ends so he and I can have a life together."
Doc smiled, he knew they would be something, "what's that sweetheart?" He walked to her and pulled her to a bench next to him.
Janine gave him a big smile as they sat. She put one foot up on the bench and leaned forward a little, talking with her hands as he was explaining, in graphic detail, that she wanted to maim, for life, the people he dealt with on his last mission. She'd also decided to keep her face hidden and only work from Business approved burner cells to alter her voice as to keep her identity as shifty as possible. At the end of it, when she explained everything, "to cover my tracks, I'll kill them all."
"So why the urgency now?"
"Because we're breaking up when we get back to California!" She looked at him like he hadn't heard a word she said. "I need to not be broken up for too long, otherwise, he'll move on."
"Janine is growing up. I never thought I'd see the day."
She threw her head back, "did you hear me?" She laughed. "What do you think?"
"I heard you. im just shocked by you and you let him break you down."
Frowning, "I did not." Then pressed her cheeks down to keep from smiling, "he wants kids. With me."
"Yes you did, my son is a charming bastard, and i heard that hes back to himself. That, im so grateful for. This work is no work for him. Have his children. I had kids while being in the business, and being sheriff."
"But you had to leave. I want to avoid that."
Doc nodded and took a deep breath, "if you want to do this. You must build armies within your army. You will have to take down multiple campuses at once, so that by the time they catch wind. It'll be too late."
"Okay. And I hate to ask this but ... How unwilling will they be to work for me? The guys we have."
"Very... you have to make examples and when you do that always go for bottom rank."
She took a deep breath, already thinking of who to start with, "okay. If I'm successful. Can you come back? To reconcile with Lynn?"
"I would love to, i miss her so much ..." he smiled and stood, "i better go."
"Okay," she stood up as well, then stood on the bench and hugged him tightly.
Doc squeezed her tightly, "i love you."
"Thank you for doing that," chuckling, "I love you too."
| Next Day |
Janine decided to really enjoy her time in Italy. The night before was the pick-me-up she needed. She and Maddox were at a cafe having lunch, looking over the water, "so ... I hope you don't break up with me for too long. Or at least not be done with me completely."
"Well, have my baby," he said simply.
"Give me 2 years. That's all I need. Then you can get me pregnant as many times as you want." She paused, she needed to amend that quickly, "hopefully not in excess."
Maddox sighed, "ok, that's fine, but i wont like it"
Laughing, "if things go well, it could be sooner but I think 2 years will do it." She grabbed his hand.
"Uh oh, what are you up to, beautiful?" He kissed her hand, "you know what, keep me out of it. I dont want to know."
"It's best you don't. Really. And thank you. I promise, we'll be okay."
| 1 Week Later - US |
Sasha waltzed into Janine's house wearing a Bodicon dress and a short mink fur. With a woman dressed so sexy, you would never guess she was equipped with five weapons on her, "I'm here! Miss me?" She sat next to Janine, "because i sure missed you."
Janine sighed and looked at her, "Sasha ... Cover yourself before you turn me into a lesbian."
"Get out of here girl and this is my work uniform, by policy."
Laughing, "By whos policy? Cause it's not mine. So you actually missed me when I was gone?"
"Do you know my job description? Im the sexy decoy baby, so yes, it is my dress code. I most certainly did."
Janine nodded and chuckled, "thanks. I appreciate that. And yes, I missed you. It's nice to have a friend."
"So how was Italy?"
"Productive, very productive."
"What did you do is what i was really asking."
"Cursed out Constantine ... Killed a few people ... Had lots of sex ... and came back with a plan."
"How is young Doc? I hear he's no longer one of us."
Janine shook her head, "he's not. He's a normal now."
"Poor baby never had it in him," she shook her head, "so plan?"
"Still working out the kinks. It'll be a while longer if you hear anything," and Sasha wouldn't. Janine had no plans to enlist Sasha for the suicide mission.
"Ok boo ... So what are we doing today?"
"I don't know. Perhaps I should put on a dress and we ... go ... out? I need to get some local intel. About the 'hit' status."
"You go out?! What has young Doc done to you? Ya'll go out?"
"Yea. We go out all the time."
"You dance?" Sasha was blown away.
"Sure do."
"Oh wow ... let's go." Sasha clapped, "I'm dressed and ready. Your turn."
| Later |
Janine sent a text to Maddox and then the extra guards she threatened. She got dressed and headed off with Sasha to a salsa club. "You know who i miss?" Sasha started as they got out of janine's car.
"Who?" One of the guards took Janine's keys and car.
"Doc," Sasha sighed, "the one that got away," she looked sad, "god i was so in love with that man."
Grinning, "he was always in love with his wife, though. I think you were too sassy for him."
"Oh girl, aint nobody gonna break up that happy home, plus im living on the dream of him telling me, had he met me first, he woulda been with me" sasha looked at the guard, "mind your damn business.."
They went inside and both women were grabbed almost immediately by dancing men. Janine was about to grab him by the throat but he wiggled her hips. Her hand was right up at his neck when she completely stopped, turned that part of her brain off to process what was happening, "Oh ... that's what you're doing."
"Sasha ..." a voice carried from behind her, a tall light skinned man with green eyes smiled.
Sasha smiled, "Joseph Mackey.." she went to him for a hug.
"How are you, beautiful?" He hugged her and kissed her cheek.
"Great, just here with a friend. How is business?" Sasha asked. Joseph was Doc's law enforcement muscle at one time. He previously was one of Doc's deputies who was brought into the business to keep an arm to the cops throats. Even though he was no longer a part of law enforcement, he still had his people there and kept things running the way they should. Even now that Doc is out of the picture, he understood that someone else had taken over but wasn't privy to who.
"Busy. Some new cat is shaking things up. Not in a good way." He continued and Janine danced a little closer so she could hear. "I understand how the trickle happened but ..." He shrugged.
"Who's this new person? They tell me nothing anymore."
"Not sure. We think it's the organization that got rid of Ames. On the other hand, it could be the one that organization put in place to replace him."
"Interesting... who are they?"
"Theirs just one. No one can ID him. They think he's Asian. Small, fast, too quiet. If that's the case, we have a major problem ... at least for my other people," meaning the small Business he'd started since Doc was out, "maybe not yours now. Want a drink?"
"Hmm sure baby, my girl will as well."
"Hi!" Janine waved and smiled, still dancing with the guy. If they hadn't found her out yet, her chances were good.
"Joseph ..." he introduced himself.
Janine nodded, "Janine. Thanks." She tapped the guy on the shoulder for him to let go of her, then she joined Sasha and Joseph.
"Ive never seen you around before Janine, how do you and sasha know one another?"
"I met her a couple of months ago. I went to her boutique and needed help getting a dress to a wedding because of my size. I go back regularly now. Anyway, she mentioned this place and I'd never been so ... here I am."
"Oh isnt that nice.." he looked at her with a bright but condescending smile.
"So how is your wife?" sasha questioned.
"Still bitchy but that's my baby ..." he ordered their drinks. Janine danced right next to him, pretending to be oblivious. Joseph whispered to Sasha, "please tell me she's not in."
"Not even close.." sasha smirked.
"There is a God. Drink up and let me get a dance in."
"You got it baby.." Sasha smiled as they carried on.
While they danced, Janine went to the bar and a man began to speak behind her. "Pretty lady, if you were my woman, i would NEVER leave you vulnerable to another man's game. Let me buy you a drink."
Janine immediately started smiling and turned around, "I thought you had to work."
"I worked, finished and now im here." He pulled her in and kissed her, "where's your clothes? You know you only need to wear this shit when im around."
"It's salsa. But I'll remember for next time."
"Thank you..." he pulled her head to him and kissed her.
"Now dance with me." Then she whispered, "I almost choked someone and blew my cover."
"You better calm down."
"I'm having fun." She walked away from the bar, more like danced.
"What? You do that?"
"For the last two years. Plus, I've gained some Intel."
"Oh? Go on."
"Later." She squeezed his butt and danced. "But I need to have Sasha over when we leave to discuss some things. You staying with me tonight?"
"Yeah and thats fine, ill keep myself occupied."
"Thank you."
"I need the final dossier." Janine told Constantine over an Italian burner cell phone. "All of it. I know you have it."
"What?" Constantine shook his head, "sorry wrong fuckin number!" He hung up the phone and then broke it.
30 minutes later she received a phone call, "come outside."
After that call, Janine busted up the cell, then went outside and started a stroll down the block. "Stop fucking mentioning him on phones, got it?" He pulled her to a cellar in the bottom of Nonna's, "what do you need to know?"
"You make me sad," she told Constantine, "everything. With detail."
"Why? Is your life not good? You own everything. What more could you want?"
"Owning everything means nothing if I can't enjoy it."
"Then start enjoying it. Doc has nothing to do with your happiness, consider him just a ghost."
"He has everything to do with my happiness. Now give me what I asked for. I need to know who to make deaf, mute, and blind."
"Dont you get it? I dont owe you shit. I made one promise, to my BLOOD. And you, are not that. If you had all these questions, you shoulda asked him when he came to you. You run shit, but you dont REALLY run shit, so stop waving your imaginary dick because it's pissing me off," he looked her in her eyes.
"You poor thing ... You really do have a problem with women as authority figures, don't you?" She said as sympathetically as possible.
"Dont patronize me, that's one way to be on your own. Im only helping you because of Doc, not out of the kindness of my heart. So watch your fucking mouth."
"I'll take that information now," was all she said. Was she defeated? No. But she needed what he knew and obviously couldn't hurt him to get it.
"Goodnight.." he began to leave.
"Swear to God, i don't have time for your fucking BULLSHIT, CONSTANTINE." Now she was getting angry, "YOU DON'T LIKE ME, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I NEED TO GET SOMETHING DONE AND YOU HAVE WHAT I NEED BUT IM NOT GONNA SUCK YOUR GOT DAMN COCK TO GET IT."
Constantine continued to leave as Doc appeared, "some mouth on you," he locked the door behind him, "what do you want, Janine?"
Janine straightened up as soon as she saw him, "sorry ..." She felt the need to explain herself, "he makes me angry."
"He's only doing as i told him. Besides, Constantine pisses everyone off."
Nodding, "I have to figure something out before I lose Maddox for good. We're breaking up for real when we get back to the U.S. Since I'm ... In this for life ... I need to clean up some loose ends so he and I can have a life together."
Doc smiled, he knew they would be something, "what's that sweetheart?" He walked to her and pulled her to a bench next to him.
Janine gave him a big smile as they sat. She put one foot up on the bench and leaned forward a little, talking with her hands as he was explaining, in graphic detail, that she wanted to maim, for life, the people he dealt with on his last mission.

At the end of it, when she explained everything, "to cover my tracks, I'll kill them all."
"So why the urgency now?"
"Because we're breaking up when we get back to California!" She looked at him like he hadn't heard a word she said. "I need to not be broken up for too long, otherwise, he'll move on."
"Janine is growing up. I never thought I'd see the day."
She threw her head back, "did you hear me?" She laughed. "What do you think?"
"I heard you. im just shocked by you and you let him break you down."
Frowning, "I did not." Then pressed her cheeks down to keep from smiling, "he wants kids. With me."
"Yes you did, my son is a charming bastard, and i heard that hes back to himself. That, im so grateful for. This work is no work for him. Have his children. I had kids while being in the business, and being sheriff."
"But you had to leave. I want to avoid that."
Doc nodded and took a deep breath, "if you want to do this. You must build armies within your army. You will have to take down multiple campuses at once, so that by the time they catch wind. It'll be too late."
"Okay. And I hate to ask this but ... How unwilling will they be to work for me? The guys we have."
"Very... you have to make examples and when you do that always go for bottom rank."
She took a deep breath, already thinking of who to start with, "okay. If I'm successful. Can you come back? To reconcile with Lynn?"
"I would love to, i miss her so much ..." he smiled and stood, "i better go."
"Okay," she stood up as well, then stood on the bench and hugged him tightly.
Doc squeezed her tightly, "i love you."

Doc's Little Girl - 7
| 2 Years Later |
Janine returned to her house after being gone on a job for more than a month with Maddox's uncle, Constantine. The day after, she showed up at Maddox's job looking for him. Maddox became an accountant at a big corporation. The fact that his dad was gone bothered him, but he dealt with it just fine. He was in the process of dropping some papers off at someone's desk when he noticed Janine. He smiled at her when she made eye contact with him and he walked to her. "Hey bigshot," Janine raised an eyebrow with a small smile when he approached.
"Hey sweet thang," he hugged her, grabbing a hand full of her ass. The two of them were very on and off again, but at that time, they were on, "how was your trip?" He kissed her on the lips for a second.
"Rewarding." She rubbed his lips with her thumb, "can you go to lunch?"
"Uhh," he looked to his watch, "yea, let me go grab my wallet," he walked off real quick.
Janine spun around in a carefree manner and surveyed the office. When Maddox came back, they left out, "I would like chicken."
"You can have chicken," he rested his hand on her lower back. She put her head on his shoulder while they walked.
They went into a restaurant, "What have I missed?" Janine asked.
"Uh, shit, my mother's hip surgery went well. Celia moved to California and Trent's girlfriend had a boy."
"Babies ..." She shivered, "probably cute!"
He shook his head, "I'm adopting a kid because i know you will never have my babies. Either that or i have to find a woman who will."
She laughed, "kids are not a part of my job description, Maddox."
"Thats why i said what i said. Kids were always apart of my future and that will NEVER change."
Janine nodded, "I understand."
He kissed her head, "be glad i love you and im leaning more toward adoption."
Grinning, "I am. Really I am." They'd had that conversation before so she understood. At times, she wished she hadn't followed in Docs footsteps but couldn't disappoint him.
He paused, "what about a surrogate?"
"We could do a surrogate." She was unsure.
"Sure?"
"Yea but ... not ... right now ... right?"
"No, not right now"
She took a deep breath, "can we talk about it later tonight, then?"
"Of course.." he rubbed her arm and kissed her temple.
| Later |
Before Maddox got to Janine's, she called carmine. She explained about Maddox wanting kids. "I don't know what to do. I can't have a family. He wants one. WITH ME!"
"So just tell him no. Its that simple."
"He'll ... leave ... me. We'll be off with no more on."
"Look, im not gonna make this decision for you."
"I just need help. Please. I'm lost. I miss Doc. I just need help." Her eyes watered. Janine's priorities were changing and she was turning into a real person. A person that she liked and wanted to be full time. Not just with Maddox.
"Lost why? You knew what the job was before you accepted it."
Janine clenched her jaw, "I was also a child when I got brought into this! FORGET IT." She hung up.
Just as janine sat there, maddox came barging in like always, "Lucy, im home!" He said in his best ricky ricardo voice.
Janine sighed and looked at him. "We can't ... I can't," she choked out, "I can't give you ... anything."
"Why not?" His smile instantly disappeared.
"I want to be ... normal. And I can't. I love you. I want you. But ... it's too risky. I'm scared for you and whatever kids we have. I'm lost," she started sobbing, "I can't fix this."
Maddox just looked at her, so disappointed, "well, our anniversary is coming up, i wanted to take you to meet my family in italy." He tossed the ticket to her, "be right back," he went to the bathroom, mainly to yell and curse silently.
Janine finished her crying and waited for him. "I'll go." She yelled towards the bathroom and figured she'd completely break up with him when they got back.
Maddox came out, face red, "im hungry."
Janine got up and raced to the kitchen to get him something. She didn't come out until the food was done. She handed him dinner, then sat quietly while he ate.
"Thank you.." he finished eating and handed her his plate.
She took it to the kitchen, then sat on the edge of the couch, curling herself up into a ball with her legs pulled into her body. She didn't know what to say.
"Come here, man," he opened his body to her.
She shook her head, "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do. I can make every decision when it comes to how to quietly kill an entire group of people but I can't figure this out. I called Carmine for advice and he gave me nothing so ... Im frustrated and Im scared. So. No."
"Get over here and stop playing." Janine got down off the arm of the couch and sat next to him. Maddox put his arm around her, "im not about to lie to you and say im not disappointed, i am. However, i get it. Im just most pissed that we will most likely end up breaking up soon because of it. That shit is lame."
"We've broken up a lot already." Sighing, "we'll figure it out after we come from italy."
"Yeah, but I never felt like it was final until now."
"Yea," she nodded, "I hear you."
He kissed her on the lips and held her waist, "love you," he stood up, "im going to pack."
| Days Later - Italy |
They'd arrived and gotten themselves settled. That same evening, they had dinner at Maddox's Grandma's house. The next day, they went out for a walk. It wasn't Janine's first trip out of the country, but it was her first to Italy and she loved it. Maddox hadn't been to italy since he was a teenager. This was the perfect time to come back although, the woman that he was with, he'd no longer be with after this trip most likely.
"I think we should have some cake," Janine was looking at a pastry shop they were walking past, "or a tart," she stopped, looking at the window, "or a muffin."
"What the fuck do you want woman?" He pulled her head to his chest and kissed the crown.
"Everything!" She was getting excited, "no. A tart. With the pretty fruit on top. Is it sweet?" She broke away from him and went inside, "I want this," she said in Italian and pointed to it, then to a muffin repeating the same thing, then to a slice of cake, "what kind is that? I can't have coconut," she told Maddox in Italian.
"I know babe, don't get it. Try the strawberry and blue berry tart," he responded in Italian.
"But I think that cake might be worth dying over." She looked up at him, then looked around some more. They finally left the shop with 2 pieces of cake, neither coconut, 2 fruit tarts and 1 muffin. "This is my dinner. I WANT THAT!" She'd walked away again. A couple of hours later and Janine purchased a vintage tea kettle, venetian glass earrings, bottle openers with the Pope's face on them, lace ... Just lace. She had no idea what she wanted with it but it was pretty and she wanted it. And a carnival mask. After the last thing she bought, she'd tried on the mask and as she took it off, there was Doc. Across the street. And the mutherfucker had the audacity to stroll through town after all the shit he left her with. Did Maddox see him? Should she say something? He was hiding so maybe she shouldn't but she was itching to. Still, she looked down at her bags, "I think i have everything." Then turned to go in the opposite direction.
"Hold on, I need to get my Nonna some candles from this place up here. I told her i would," maddox turned around holding most of Janine's bags and heading in the direction she was leading him away from.
"There's a place down here ..." She was desperately pointing in the other direction. Finally, she went and walked along side him, then stopped him, "let's take a picture."
"Janine in a second, damn.." he put his arm around her and turned almost right into his father. It was like he got socked in the face. He looked Doc square in the eyes, then down to his feet and walked right around him, "they should really work on cleaning the bums off the street ..." he said to janine and to no one in particular.
Janine sighed and walked with Maddox, glancing back at Doc, then back to Maddox, "how about we go drop this stuff off and relax on a gondola for a while?"
"That's fine, but damn woman, let me get these damn candles" he walked into the shop. Janine stayed put as Doc walked up to her from behind.
"May I help you?" She asked in Italian as to not blow his cover.
As soon as she turned around. He hugged her, and said into her ear, "i miss you, im proud of you, stay strong," he kissed her temple and walked away.
Janine held her breath and watched him walk away. She wished she'd said something to him. She wished she'd hugged him back. She wished she'd said 'thanks.' She just wished. Janine looked up at the sky, nearly at the sun, in an effort to keep the waterworks from starting but was unsuccessful. She walked away a little down the strip, in the opposite direction, hoping to give herself time to breathe before Maddox came out looking for her. When he did, she held her phone up and took a picture of him, then showed it to him, only to distract him from her face since she wasn't sure what she looked like at the moment. "How many did you get?" Looking at the bag.
"Ten," he smiled and kissed her, "whats wrong? You got the, 'I just ugly cried look in your eyes." He sat the bags down and pulled her into his body to look at her, "and tell the truth."
She immediately laughed and put her face on his chest, and put her arms around him, "he just told me to stay strong and then I crumbled like a child."
He rolled his eyes, she couldnt see, "why are you crumbling? You should always stay strong. You dont need him to tell you that."
"Because their is a huge part of me that constantly needs his approval. I like to know what he thinks of me. It's important."
"What do YOU think of you? " He rubbed her back
"I don't like me at all. Not anymore."
"Why not baby? You are amazing" he rubbed the back of her head, "you are everything"
"Everything except a real person," she let go of him, took a few bags from him and started walking again. "Now i just have to figure out how to become a real person while I have this job. I may know where to start."
Janine returned to her house after being gone on a job for more than a month with Maddox's uncle, Constantine. The day after, she showed up at Maddox's job looking for him. Maddox became an accountant at a big corporation. The fact that his dad was gone bothered him, but he dealt with it just fine. He was in the process of dropping some papers off at someone's desk when he noticed Janine. He smiled at her when she made eye contact with him and he walked to her. "Hey bigshot," Janine raised an eyebrow with a small smile when he approached.
"Hey sweet thang," he hugged her, grabbing a hand full of her ass. The two of them were very on and off again, but at that time, they were on, "how was your trip?" He kissed her on the lips for a second.
"Rewarding." She rubbed his lips with her thumb, "can you go to lunch?"
"Uhh," he looked to his watch, "yea, let me go grab my wallet," he walked off real quick.
Janine spun around in a carefree manner and surveyed the office. When Maddox came back, they left out, "I would like chicken."
"You can have chicken," he rested his hand on her lower back. She put her head on his shoulder while they walked.
They went into a restaurant, "What have I missed?" Janine asked.
"Uh, shit, my mother's hip surgery went well. Celia moved to California and Trent's girlfriend had a boy."
"Babies ..." She shivered, "probably cute!"
He shook his head, "I'm adopting a kid because i know you will never have my babies. Either that or i have to find a woman who will."
She laughed, "kids are not a part of my job description, Maddox."
"Thats why i said what i said. Kids were always apart of my future and that will NEVER change."
Janine nodded, "I understand."
He kissed her head, "be glad i love you and im leaning more toward adoption."
Grinning, "I am. Really I am." They'd had that conversation before so she understood. At times, she wished she hadn't followed in Docs footsteps but couldn't disappoint him.
He paused, "what about a surrogate?"
"We could do a surrogate." She was unsure.
"Sure?"
"Yea but ... not ... right now ... right?"
"No, not right now"
She took a deep breath, "can we talk about it later tonight, then?"
"Of course.." he rubbed her arm and kissed her temple.
| Later |
Before Maddox got to Janine's, she called carmine. She explained about Maddox wanting kids. "I don't know what to do. I can't have a family. He wants one. WITH ME!"
"So just tell him no. Its that simple."
"He'll ... leave ... me. We'll be off with no more on."
"Look, im not gonna make this decision for you."
"I just need help. Please. I'm lost. I miss Doc. I just need help." Her eyes watered. Janine's priorities were changing and she was turning into a real person. A person that she liked and wanted to be full time. Not just with Maddox.
"Lost why? You knew what the job was before you accepted it."
Janine clenched her jaw, "I was also a child when I got brought into this! FORGET IT." She hung up.
Just as janine sat there, maddox came barging in like always, "Lucy, im home!" He said in his best ricky ricardo voice.
Janine sighed and looked at him. "We can't ... I can't," she choked out, "I can't give you ... anything."
"Why not?" His smile instantly disappeared.
"I want to be ... normal. And I can't. I love you. I want you. But ... it's too risky. I'm scared for you and whatever kids we have. I'm lost," she started sobbing, "I can't fix this."
Maddox just looked at her, so disappointed, "well, our anniversary is coming up, i wanted to take you to meet my family in italy." He tossed the ticket to her, "be right back," he went to the bathroom, mainly to yell and curse silently.
Janine finished her crying and waited for him. "I'll go." She yelled towards the bathroom and figured she'd completely break up with him when they got back.
Maddox came out, face red, "im hungry."
Janine got up and raced to the kitchen to get him something. She didn't come out until the food was done. She handed him dinner, then sat quietly while he ate.
"Thank you.." he finished eating and handed her his plate.
She took it to the kitchen, then sat on the edge of the couch, curling herself up into a ball with her legs pulled into her body. She didn't know what to say.
"Come here, man," he opened his body to her.
She shook her head, "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do. I can make every decision when it comes to how to quietly kill an entire group of people but I can't figure this out. I called Carmine for advice and he gave me nothing so ... Im frustrated and Im scared. So. No."
"Get over here and stop playing." Janine got down off the arm of the couch and sat next to him. Maddox put his arm around her, "im not about to lie to you and say im not disappointed, i am. However, i get it. Im just most pissed that we will most likely end up breaking up soon because of it. That shit is lame."
"We've broken up a lot already." Sighing, "we'll figure it out after we come from italy."
"Yeah, but I never felt like it was final until now."
"Yea," she nodded, "I hear you."
He kissed her on the lips and held her waist, "love you," he stood up, "im going to pack."
| Days Later - Italy |
They'd arrived and gotten themselves settled. That same evening, they had dinner at Maddox's Grandma's house. The next day, they went out for a walk. It wasn't Janine's first trip out of the country, but it was her first to Italy and she loved it. Maddox hadn't been to italy since he was a teenager. This was the perfect time to come back although, the woman that he was with, he'd no longer be with after this trip most likely.
"I think we should have some cake," Janine was looking at a pastry shop they were walking past, "or a tart," she stopped, looking at the window, "or a muffin."
"What the fuck do you want woman?" He pulled her head to his chest and kissed the crown.
"Everything!" She was getting excited, "no. A tart. With the pretty fruit on top. Is it sweet?" She broke away from him and went inside, "I want this," she said in Italian and pointed to it, then to a muffin repeating the same thing, then to a slice of cake, "what kind is that? I can't have coconut," she told Maddox in Italian.
"I know babe, don't get it. Try the strawberry and blue berry tart," he responded in Italian.
"But I think that cake might be worth dying over." She looked up at him, then looked around some more. They finally left the shop with 2 pieces of cake, neither coconut, 2 fruit tarts and 1 muffin. "This is my dinner. I WANT THAT!" She'd walked away again. A couple of hours later and Janine purchased a vintage tea kettle, venetian glass earrings, bottle openers with the Pope's face on them, lace ... Just lace. She had no idea what she wanted with it but it was pretty and she wanted it. And a carnival mask. After the last thing she bought, she'd tried on the mask and as she took it off, there was Doc. Across the street. And the mutherfucker had the audacity to stroll through town after all the shit he left her with. Did Maddox see him? Should she say something? He was hiding so maybe she shouldn't but she was itching to. Still, she looked down at her bags, "I think i have everything." Then turned to go in the opposite direction.
"Hold on, I need to get my Nonna some candles from this place up here. I told her i would," maddox turned around holding most of Janine's bags and heading in the direction she was leading him away from.
"There's a place down here ..." She was desperately pointing in the other direction. Finally, she went and walked along side him, then stopped him, "let's take a picture."
"Janine in a second, damn.." he put his arm around her and turned almost right into his father. It was like he got socked in the face.

Doc's Little Girl - 6
| 1 Week Later |
"Are you coming home as scheduled?" Janine was talking to Doc on the phone, "I've been in this house even though I don't need to be. Did you notice?"
"Yes, i also noticed that maddox has been there often. No fucking in common areas."
"We didn't! I wouldn't do that!"
"You guys like each other?"
"Hmmm, I don't know." She shrugged and looked up at the camera as if he were watching, "I don't know how to tell ... I should probably just ask."
"That question was directed at you. I know my son likes you since hes always around you."
She shrugged again, still looking at the camera, "maybe he's bored. But yea ... I like him."
"You're impossible." Shaking his head, "ignoring a man's word about his own son. And another thing. If he's bored. He doesn't have to travel out there for a friend. He's good looking and he could see multiple women and have them know about it without a problem. Ask him, but i know JR."
Smiling, "okay. I'm listening. I'll be waiting when you get here, don't make me come get you. I know where you are," she hung up and then died laughing.
Janine froze. The phone started ringing. Janine saw the phone call and sighed, then stomped and screamed out loud, then answered, "DADDY!" She sung.
"What did i tell you would happen if I found out you were snooping? "
"That ... I'd have ... to ... move out?" She said slowly as if she were in disbelief. Yea, she knew but still. She didn't think he'd enforce that.
"Exactly, you have 2 weeks.." he hung up his phone and turned it off.
| 1 Week Later |
Doc returned and Janine was in the process of packing. She met him at the door and faked sad eyes, "I found a place."
"Good.." he walked passed her, still wearing the weight of his trip on his shoulders.
"You're gonna miss me?"
"I'll be fine..." he spoke honestly, "but the moment i cant trust you to do as i say, you gotta go."
She poked her bottom lip out, "okay ... okay ... Fine ... Okay," she just kept on mumbling but followed him, "are you okay?"
"I am fine, but im sick of all you muthafuckas being sneaky." Doc looked crazy for the first time around Janine. He was pacing and looking around as if for someone to choke. "I never in my life yelled or cussed at you or even wanted to, but right now. I want you the FUCK out of my face!" Of course, he was angry about his what his trip meant for the future and taking it out on her. Yes, he was pissed at her for snooping, but needed to get this off his chest.
She blinked, her eyes oversized, but didn't flinch. "I'm sorry," she said in Italian, "there's a bottle of scotch and a glass on your desk. I forgive you," she said as she walked away. As soon as she was in the clear, she cried.
Doc then slammed the door behind her and picked up the phone and called his brother Constantine.
"What?" Constantine answered.
"Fuck you." Doc hung up.
Doc was ready to do what he had to to free himself. Distancing himself from his family wasn't working and he needed to take more drastic action. He called a family friend. Walter Bovin answered his cell, "everything alright, Maddox?" I heard about Russia."
"I need a favor."
"Anything."
"I need to get out. Of the Business and I need your help. Help me figure out my options."
"Only one permanent solution that you know. Or ... We could take a chance with a new identity. If you move home to Italy, it will work out better for you. Sicily even better. The island is Agnello owned, you could rest easily."
"Ill take a chance on the 2nd..."
"Alright. I can get everything you need to retire safely to you in a week. In the meantime ... What will you do about your son and daughter?"
"Janine will be moved out of the house by next week and Maddox is oblivious to everything."
Walter sighed, "who will take your place?"
"Ive been training Maddox since he was 18 years old, but Janine has the stomach for it. Janine."
He sat for a minute and weighed the pro's and con's but Doc was right. "You'll tell them about this decision?"
"I will tonight.." he sat on the phone for a minute just talking other details and then hung up.
| That Night |
Doc sat in front of Maddox and Janine. Trying to figure out the best way to say it, when Janine cut in, "I'm not pregnant if that's what this is about." Janine started when Doc was taking his time.
Doc rolled his eyes, as did Maddox, "So you two know ive been training you guys in preparation for taking over the business."
Maddox nodded. "Yea." Janine respond.
"Well its that time. I want out and im going to iron out the necessary details to make that happen."
Janine frowned a little, "Okay ..." then she looked at Maddox.
"I cant tell either of you where im going, and you wont be able to come with me. I just need to know who wants to run the business."
Janine's arm shot up, then she registered what he said and slowly put her arm down, "why can't you tell me where you're going? What if I want to come visit? What if I get married in 20 years and you're still gone? What am i supposed to do then?" Her mouth kept running, "No. You stay here."
"Look, it's just the way it is," he looked at Janine.
"So this is how its gonna be. This the reason you broke ma's heart?" Maddox looked at him with a straight face.
Doc nodded.
"I .. I ... I don't understand. You kicked me out because I was snooping and now you're ... DISAPPEARING YOURSELF?!" Janine balled her fists up and then sat on them.
"Better I told you then just leaving, right?"
"Say something!" Janine snapped at Maddox.
"Ok so calm the fuck down!" He snapped at Janine, "you think im gonna give him a reaction?" He looked to Doc, "the only gotdamn reason i got into into this shit was to be closer to you! Because when you did this AND the police force you never had time for me. As far as im concerned, Janine can have it and you can fuck yourself," Maddox stood and stormed out.
Doc stood but didnt chase him and then sat back down as he heard Maddox's car speed off
With that, Janine immediately started crying, "is this because I snooped? I'm sorry. I'll do whatever I can to earn your trust back. I don't want you to leave."
"Janine, that never bothered me. You didnt find anything I didn't want you to find. This is how it has to be, i just didnt feel right not saying goodbye."
Now what could she say to that. Absolutely nothing. She just looked at him with those sad eyes, then took a breath, "when are you leaving?"
"Soon ..." he stood and walked over to sit next to her, putting his arm around her.
"You'll keep tabs on me, right?"
"Of course, on everyone..."
"Oh," she nodded slowly and put her head on his shoulder, "are you gonna miss me at all?"
"Yes, but you will be fine. You are a survivor. Maddox will be fine, just pissed at me his entire life. I love his mother and she is the love of my life. Everything ive done this far, is to protect her."
"Why can't you take her with you?"
"This is just how it has to be. No one in the business knows i have a wife or children. I want to keep it that way."
"Fine. Okay."
"Thank you.. i love you.." he pat her head, stood and walked away.
| Days Later |
Janine was in the process of moving her stuff out. It wasn't like she could get some movers so she had a few guards help her take stuff. When she'd spent a considerable amount of time putting things together in her place, she went back home, "it's set ... Do you want to see it?" She didn't get a response, "Doc?" Then went to his office. He'd slipped away while she was moving. She left the house and went to Maddox's. He wasn't home so she sat in her car across from his apartment, in her usual spot, and waited for him.
Maddox pulled up and got out of his car, be began walking toward his apartment. Janine got out of her car, locked it and silently followed him up. "Janine, what did i tell you about stalking me? You have my number, we fuck, just call me. He said without looking back at her."
"I was only waiting for you!"
"Sure, what do you want?"
She shrugged, "nothing. I just ... Wanted to ... Come over ...?"
"Ok," he unlocked his door and stood back so she could walk in, "come in."
She smiled and walked in, then sat down on his couch, "what'd you do today?"
"Class and make lunch for my ma and sister." He shut the door, "you?"
She shook her head, "finished moving."
"How do you like your new place?"
She shrugged, "I can sleep there."
"Good ... sit," he nodded to the love seat where he was about to sit himself.
She moved to the specified spot of the loveseat and sat on her hands. Janine didn't know what to say. She didn't have a plan when she showed up, just to sit around she figured. "I'm thinking of getting a cat and a dog."
"Dog ... love dogs. I have one," he sat back and pulled Janine into his body, "you look good today."
She figured that wouldn't be the best time to tell him she killed the dog Doc let her have when she was 11. "Thanks." Gingerly, she rested her hands out in the open.
"When are you gonna stop being so damn awkward? You know i like you right?"
"Yea." She said without hesitation. Doc had told her so so it had to be true. "It's not you. I have a wall."
"What for? Im a good fuckin dude," he paused, "the kinda dude that likes that physical attention. Im very sexual ... i could fuck you silly, i just choose to give you a break."
"Thank you," and she actually meant it, then laughed a little, "I was told to have a wall. I already had one but it I needed a better one. I'll adjust," she looked at him, "i will."
"Ok. .. you chill with Sasha still?"
"Yea. I tried to get her to help me pick out furniture online but she didn't like that. She MADE me go to a furniture store. I hate shopping."
He laughed, "good, you need to get out and learn people skills."
"Oh no, I can't do that."
"You're doing it right now."
"You're different."
"How so?"
"You know how all this can affect a person. I don't have to explain it to you. I can talk to you. Now that I'm in charge ..." She shrugged, "I'll be as isolated as ever so it's best not to get used to people."
"I guess. Well, I dont want no part of it, so if you could ... for me ... Act as normal as you can, please."
Smiling, "I can."
"Thank you... just tired of that shit, and ready to get back to who I am."
"Who is the Maddox that's not in the business?"
"Im not serious about every damn thing. However i have a temper, but im caring, thoughtful, protective."
Janine nodded, "So where is this dog? Is it big?"
"At the groomer, he's a great Dane, his name is Kunta."
Janine turned her lip up and just looked at him.
"What?!" He smirked.
"That's ridiculous."
"How do you figure? Roots is my favorite movie."
"Never seen it."
"Then what is that reaction to the name?"
"It being ridiculous. And racially charged ... Which I don't care about but still ..."
"If youve never seen the movie, how would you know its racially charged? Plus, its my fuckin dog. You get a dog and call him or her what the fuck you want," he said with a smile.
"Uh ... okay. You're odd."
He just scoffed, "you definitely cant talk."
"I guess you're right." She paused, "yea you're right. You like being right. Don't you?"
"Sometimes, but i do enjoy a good debate," he pulled her thigh over his leg.
"Cause you like to talk. Will you go with me to find a cat? A stray is fine."
"Alright," he nodded and moved her leg. "I have a friend who collects strays. Sounds weird but she's good with them and they're all well taken care of," he pulled her to her feet.
"A friend who collects strays ..." She looked up at him, "interesting hobby."
"Shes one of those people who believes she can save the world."
"Light skinned and thick?"
"Yeah?" He looked at her suspiciously.
"I know who you're talking about. She looks like the type. Making dresses all day and such, then saves an animal."
"How do you know her?" He sighed, "nevermind.." he rolled his eyes, "yeah she's a really sweet girl."
"I liked her more than Colette. She was too old for you anyway."
He shook his head, "Colette was just someone i fucked anyways and age is only a number."
"Her voice was annoying. I heard her at the coffee shop talking on the phone. Bragging about sex with a younger man. Ugh. I almost cut her throat."
"Why were you following her.." he stopped and looked at her. That shit will get old with him.
"That was 2 years ago. Jesus."
"Fuck, Janine, are you following anyone else in my life?"
"Not since we went out."
"Ok," he pulled her face to his and kissed her lips, "good, thank you."
"Are you coming home as scheduled?" Janine was talking to Doc on the phone, "I've been in this house even though I don't need to be. Did you notice?"
"Yes, i also noticed that maddox has been there often. No fucking in common areas."

"I .. I ... I don't understand. You kicked me out because I was snooping and now you're ... DISAPPEARING YOURSELF?!" Janine balled her fists up and then sat on them.
"Better I told you then just leaving, right?"
"Say something!" Janine snapped at Maddox.
"Ok so calm the fuck down!" He snapped at Janine, "you think im gonna give him a reaction?" He looked to Doc, "the only gotdamn reason i got into into this shit was to be closer to you! Because when you did this AND the police force you never had time for me. As far as im concerned, Janine can have it and you can fuck yourself," Maddox stood and stormed out.
Doc stood but didnt chase him and then sat back down as he heard Maddox's car speed off
With that, Janine immediately started crying, "is this because I snooped? I'm sorry. I'll do whatever I can to earn your trust back. I don't want you to leave."
"Janine, that never bothered me. You didnt find anything I didn't want you to find. This is how it has to be, i just didnt feel right not saying goodbye."
Now what could she say to that. Absolutely nothing. She just looked at him with those sad eyes, then took a breath, "when are you leaving?"
"Soon ..." he stood and walked over to sit next to her, putting his arm around her.
"You'll keep tabs on me, right?"
"Of course, on everyone..."
"Oh," she nodded slowly and put her head on his shoulder, "are you gonna miss me at all?"
"Yes, but you will be fine. You are a survivor. Maddox will be fine, just pissed at me his entire life. I love his mother and she is the love of my life. Everything ive done this far, is to protect her."
"Why can't you take her with you?"
"This is just how it has to be. No one in the business knows i have a wife or children. I want to keep it that way."
"Fine. Okay."
"Thank you.. i love you.." he pat her head, stood and walked away.

Janine was in the process of moving her stuff out. It wasn't like she could get some movers so she had a few guards help her take stuff. When she'd spent a considerable amount of time putting things together in her place, she went back home, "it's set ... Do you want to see it?" She didn't get a response, "Doc?" Then went to his office. He'd slipped away while she was moving. She left the house and went to Maddox's. He wasn't home so she sat in her car across from his apartment, in her usual spot, and waited for him.
Maddox pulled up and got out of his car, be began walking toward his apartment. Janine got out of her car, locked it and silently followed him up. "Janine, what did i tell you about stalking me? You have my number, we fuck, just call me. He said without looking back at her."
"I was only waiting for you!"
"Sure, what do you want?"
She shrugged, "nothing. I just ... Wanted to ... Come over ...?"
"Ok," he unlocked his door and stood back so she could walk in, "come in."
She smiled and walked in, then sat down on his couch, "what'd you do today?"
"Class and make lunch for my ma and sister." He shut the door, "you?"
She shook her head, "finished moving."
"How do you like your new place?"
She shrugged, "I can sleep there."
"Good ... sit," he nodded to the love seat where he was about to sit himself.
She moved to the specified spot of the loveseat and sat on her hands. Janine didn't know what to say. She didn't have a plan when she showed up, just to sit around she figured. "I'm thinking of getting a cat and a dog."
"Dog ... love dogs. I have one," he sat back and pulled Janine into his body, "you look good today."
She figured that wouldn't be the best time to tell him she killed the dog Doc let her have when she was 11. "Thanks." Gingerly, she rested her hands out in the open.
"When are you gonna stop being so damn awkward? You know i like you right?"
"Yea." She said without hesitation. Doc had told her so so it had to be true. "It's not you. I have a wall."
"What for? Im a good fuckin dude," he paused, "the kinda dude that likes that physical attention. Im very sexual ... i could fuck you silly, i just choose to give you a break."
"Thank you," and she actually meant it, then laughed a little, "I was told to have a wall. I already had one but it I needed a better one. I'll adjust," she looked at him, "i will."
"Ok. .. you chill with Sasha still?"
"Yea. I tried to get her to help me pick out furniture online but she didn't like that. She MADE me go to a furniture store. I hate shopping."
He laughed, "good, you need to get out and learn people skills."
"Oh no, I can't do that."
"You're doing it right now."
"You're different."
"How so?"
"You know how all this can affect a person. I don't have to explain it to you. I can talk to you. Now that I'm in charge ..." She shrugged, "I'll be as isolated as ever so it's best not to get used to people."
"I guess. Well, I dont want no part of it, so if you could ... for me ... Act as normal as you can, please."
Smiling, "I can."
"Thank you... just tired of that shit, and ready to get back to who I am."
"Who is the Maddox that's not in the business?"
"Im not serious about every damn thing. However i have a temper, but im caring, thoughtful, protective."
Janine nodded, "So where is this dog? Is it big?"
"At the groomer, he's a great Dane, his name is Kunta."
Janine turned her lip up and just looked at him.
"What?!" He smirked.
"That's ridiculous."
"How do you figure? Roots is my favorite movie."
"Never seen it."
"Then what is that reaction to the name?"
"It being ridiculous. And racially charged ... Which I don't care about but still ..."
"If youve never seen the movie, how would you know its racially charged? Plus, its my fuckin dog. You get a dog and call him or her what the fuck you want," he said with a smile.
"Uh ... okay. You're odd."
He just scoffed, "you definitely cant talk."
"I guess you're right." She paused, "yea you're right. You like being right. Don't you?"
"Sometimes, but i do enjoy a good debate," he pulled her thigh over his leg.
"Cause you like to talk. Will you go with me to find a cat? A stray is fine."
"Alright," he nodded and moved her leg. "I have a friend who collects strays. Sounds weird but she's good with them and they're all well taken care of," he pulled her to her feet.
"A friend who collects strays ..." She looked up at him, "interesting hobby."
"Shes one of those people who believes she can save the world."
"Light skinned and thick?"
"Yeah?" He looked at her suspiciously.
"I know who you're talking about. She looks like the type. Making dresses all day and such, then saves an animal."
"How do you know her?" He sighed, "nevermind.." he rolled his eyes, "yeah she's a really sweet girl."
"I liked her more than Colette. She was too old for you anyway."
He shook his head, "Colette was just someone i fucked anyways and age is only a number."
"Her voice was annoying. I heard her at the coffee shop talking on the phone. Bragging about sex with a younger man. Ugh. I almost cut her throat."
"Why were you following her.." he stopped and looked at her. That shit will get old with him.
"That was 2 years ago. Jesus."
"Fuck, Janine, are you following anyone else in my life?"
"Not since we went out."
"Ok," he pulled her face to his and kissed her lips, "good, thank you."

Doc's Little Girl - 5
| Next Day |
Janine came down for breakfast, smiling and grabbing the first thing she saw to eat. She joined Doc at the table, "morning!"
"Morning. Why so cheery?"
She tried to figure out the best way to tell a father figure that she got laid. "We had a nice time last night. Maybe I've turned a corner with Maddox."
"Ok?" He raised a brow, "did my son deflower you?"
"Yep!"
"Ugh gross.." Doc frowned and even gagged.
She laughed way too hard, "that's your fault. I was trying to be subtle."
"Im not surprised, the kid is charming."
"So am I!" She was almost offended he didn't recognize her charm as well.
"Please ... You have a cute face, sweetheart ... and a lot of other things I'd like to not mention, but the kid is not blind."
"okay okay. Back to a previous conversation ... Do you WANT me to move out?"
"I dont care if you stay, but I believe you should get your own place."
"Well ... I ... Like ... You being here. Since I was here my whole life up until last year with a nanny I didnt like."
"I understand."
"Is their no way I can just ... Co exist with you here as an adult?"
"I have already said you can stay here."
"I mean ..." She just started eating, "okay. Awesome. I'll suit up when I finish."
"Good... so im going on a business trip for 3 weeks "
"I'm going with you."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am," Janine countered, "it's too dangerous right now."
"Exactly why you're staying here. You dont call the shots. I do."
"Stay here and do what? Protect the house?"
"Sure or call Maddox or Sasha over. Be a regular 21 year old." Doc suggested.
Freedom. That appealed to her but she wasn't buying it. Doc always had plans on plans. "Maybe ... Where are you going though?" She'd just find out later.
"Where are you going?" He mocked her. Incredulous. "When did you become so damn nosey?"
"I want to make sure you're safe, Doc."
"Thank you ..." he paused, "look i love you, YOU ARE my daughter and i would fuckin die for you, but you gotta get a fuckin grip. Everything that i do ... isnt your damn business and i need you to learn to stop asking."
"Okay," she mumbled. Not defeated, but pretended to be so. She would snoop as soon as she could. WHo was he to not even answer her damn questions? When she finished her food, she left the table to get ready to do a job.
Doc rolled his eyes, "just so you know if any thing of mine is out of place because you were being nosey. You will have to move out.." he yelled after her.
She immediately giggled, "okay!"
| 1 Week Later |
Janine was laying on the couch, sharpening a knife when Maddox walked in. He saw Janine laying on the couch and sat at her feet, "yo."
"Hi. What's up?" She looked at him and continued sharpening.
"Nothin, this all you been doin all day? "
"This. Meditating. Snooping. Working out. Yea."
He put his hand on her thigh, "workout? Why didn't you just call me over?"
"I was trying to see if I could deal with living alone."
"Even when you live alone, you have company over," he scooted closer to her and pulled her feet to his lap.
"Yea. You're right." She nodded and put the knife down, "What are you doing today?"
"Chillin with you... thats why im here. Pops said you were here alone and i told him I'd come keep you company"
"Thank you. What's college like? Real college."
"College is chill. I really enjoy it on one side but im glad i graduate this summer. You should go and experience it. It'll teach you some people skills."
"Yea. I have 2 degrees already but yea, I just wanna go and try to be normal. I don't know. I don't like to study. Sick of all the studying."
"Studying is my favorite part, but then again im a history minor and a business major. I love knowledge."
"It's horrible... All the languages I had to learn on top of school work. I cried a lot my teenage years," she smiled, "I almost killed myself once."
"What the fuck, why?"
"Just angry. I was 15. I'd conquered Spanish, Italian, and French. Doc wanted me to learn German next. Anyway ... I told him I'd learn it faster if I could go to a real class and be around other people. I started screaming and throwing shit. I just wanted out of the house is all. The backyard didn't count. I was sick of being grounded for life so I cut up my wrists. Doc was pissed," she laughed.
"That's not funny." He shook his head, "i never went through that teenage angst bullshit," he massaged her feet.
"You have great parents. You were normal."
"I did. .. but you had my father and he was great to you?"
"I had a nanny up until last year. Your dad would come a couple times a week for training until he moved in here. I wish he could have been here the whole time. I understand he couldn't but it would have been nice." She paused, "he was great when he was here." Nodding.
"What was up with your nanny?"
"Doc needed someone here with me at all times. Especially when I was little. She was a nanny and a tutor. She wasn't big on affection. I tried to like her but she made it clear it was a job to her, that She didn't like me and that was the attitude I should adopt. I hug doc. That's all. I don't touch people and don't want them touching me." She paused, "You're okay."
"Oh? Because i can stop."
"It's okay. Feels nice. Thanks."
"I cant believe you were a virgin for so long. That shit went out the door for me at 13 years old."
"I wasn't allowed around anyone other than whoever doc brought here ... And of course, when I was out on jobs." She sat up and folded her legs up close to her chest. "Tell me about your job."
Maddox was in the middle of rubbing her feet as she pulled away so he just rested his hands in his lap, "which one? The one my dad is training me for?"
"No. Your regular job."
"School is my regular job..."
"Oh ... okay. I never got to follow you during the day. I just thought you had a regular job."
He shook his head, "you really gotta learn to be a real girl. Stalking is not attractive."
"I know," she nodded, "or at least I just found out a few weeks ago," she chuckled. "If I move out ... IF ... I'll get friends maybe. I'd rather stay here but Doc wants to keep me locked up if I stay here. And look at me ... he's not even here to watch me and I'm still in the house."
"And thats why he trusts you, so keep it that way. Be careful who you call your friend though," he adjusted his man package with one hand and slipped his opposing hand under one of his ass cheeks. He was so horny. He just was hoping her weird ass would reciprocate.
Nodding, "true." She raised an eyebrow at his movement, then smirked, "do you hate my hair? When it's curly ..."
"Nah i like it better than your straight hair. If i wanted to date a white girl, I'd date a white girl."
Janine narrowed her eyes. She was gonna give Sasha a really good tongue lashing, "okay ... That makes me happy."
"What was that look?"
"I was told that my curly hair could possibly be seen as a turn off because I'll look too young."
"Hmm, i think your actions and you not knowing where to place your hands when i am clearly flirting with you is what makes you seem young. The straight hair makes you look older and it was sexy, but being that I'm a man from the south. Im attracted to those cornfed black women. With a fat ass and a nice rack, but also, natural hair as long as the shit dont look dry and unkempt."
"Mine is moisturized and really soft!" She'd perked up and then calmed herself, "so that's what you're doing ... Flirting with me ... I'm so stupid," she laughed and shook her head, "let's go upstairs. Doc's got cameras down here."
Chuckling, "yeah, that's what im doing" he stood up and followed her upstairs.
Janine came down for breakfast, smiling and grabbing the first thing she saw to eat. She joined Doc at the table, "morning!"
