443: The Message

The Message

  After the old man got sick, Johanna got a lot more access to communicate with her family than before. Kennedy let her message them once a week without giving them information about other confidential things inside the facility. She was in intensive training to face a lot of top ninja gangs. She took a video of herself showing how well she is and she sent a message to her brother since she knew that he was worried. Johanna thought that he deserved a break and fun. 

  Her days in the facility aren't boring at all. She got to play around and exercise a lot, and eat a lot. They stopped injecting chemicals into her or feeding her drugs. It all stopped instantly under Kennedy's control. She got to enjoy everything and rent a free house. 

  She sent the message to her brother and she hesitated to send one to Connor. She knew that he was worried but what should she say? A video message might give him anxiety and would rush in here thinking that something isn't right. She dropped her back on the bed as she spread her arms and stared at the ceiling. 

"This is frustrating." She mumbled. "I wonder what Quinn is doing." She glanced at the clock. It was already ten in the evening and she bet that Quinn was already asleep. Her breast aches a little. She's not asleep at all. She mumbled. "Probably hungry. She groaned and rolled on the bed. A knock on the door interrupted her. She reached the remote and pointed it to the door as the door unlocked. Then, Gray entered with snacks. 

"So, you are going to Tokyo?" He asked as he put the snacks over the bed. 

"Yup." She shrugged. "I might die there, but I think it will end up slaughtering those people. I can't show my face since they might hold a grudge against me. I mean, my hands are tied. I would rather do whatever they want than be injected with those poisons." 

"You are poison-proof." Gray sat down and stared at her face. 

"What?" She asked as she took the still hot calzone. She took a bite and pulled it away as the mozzarella stretches. 

"I will go with you." 

"Hmm, visit Tokyo and check out their crazy motels?" 

"Yeah," he grinned at her. "Wanna explore together?" 

"Ops," She shook her head while chewing. "We can't. That's my bucket list with my hubby." 

  Gray rolled his eyes and took the other calzone and bite. He chewed it as he thought of the dangerous syndicate that she was going to face. 

"By the way, we can go through the motel with the agent that you slept with. Isn't that Agent was responsible for the kids?" 

"Who? Georgina?" 

"That's her real name?" She asked. 

"Yup." 

"I saw her gawking at my brother. But somehow, my brother has a hotter wife back at home." 

"Hmm, I am very jealous of your brother." 

"How is it sleeping with agents here?" 

"It was good. Their stamina was over the edge. I would like to try your stamina too." 

"Oh," She shook her head. "It was only reserved for my hubby. Why won't you try to find a wife who has never-ending stamina?" She enjoyed her food. 

"Hmm, that's a great idea. But I don't want someone nagging me. You don't nag at all." 

"I nag more at sex." She said casually. "My hubby is perfect. He's a perfect househusband. He's just perfect at everything. He understands me." 

  Gray blinked. 

"Is there such a man?" 

"Yes, of course. I am satisfied with my man, that's why he's perfect for me. He's not entirely perfect… maybe in someone else's eyes, but for me, he is." 

"Now, that is called unconditional." He snapped. "You will have a long relationship with this man." 

"Of course," She winked. 

"What if he fucks someone while you are away?" 

  She shrugged and hummed. 

"Doesn't matter. I would make his life a living hell. I will make sure that he won't have a happy ending with whoever bitch he sleeps with." 

"Badass." He chuckled.

  Connor sneezed suddenly. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose. He looked down at his cold drink and thought that maybe it was a bad idea. He sighed and looked at the boys who were having fun on the pool table. A woman approached her with a tray to offer him more drinks. He waved his hand and mumbled a thank you. He still needs to take care of his Quinn later since she doesn't like sleeping without him. 

"Con!" Sandro waved. He finished his drink as he placed it on the bar counter. Then, he approached them and played with them a little. He sneaked out after twenty minutes and drove back to the mansion. 

  He went to where they are in the playroom and he stopped seeing her daughter playing tea with the other infants. 

"Papapap!" Quinn smiled at him and it was perfect. His heartfelt like it's been melted by the sun. He approached her, knelt beside her, and kissed her hand. 

"You are early." Tracey noticed and glanced at the clock. 

"Well, I thought that Quinn might miss me since I miss her." 

"She's having fun though." Keira chuckled. "Even Calli wanted to play with them." 

"That's cute." He stood up. "Are you girls going to stay until the next day?" Connor asked Arianna and Sophia. 

"Maybe until tomorrow afternoon," Sophia said. "Ella enjoyed being with them." 

"You should stay longer. Quinn seemed to stop playing with her puzzles and preferred to have a Princess Party." Connor bent down and wiped Quinn's mouth. 

"Yeah, I also noticed that." Keira sighed. "Ari, Sophi, the two of you should stay more." 

"I don't have a baby," Ari said. 

"You can have, Kal." 

  Kal looked at Keira. 

"We can set up a tea party every weekend for the kids. I think it will be fun." Connor patted Quinn who smiled at him. 

"What do you say, Ella?" Sophia asked her daughter. 

"I want to stay with Kin-Kin, Mommy," Ella said. 

"They become immediate best friends. How adorable." Keira grinned. "We should set that up, Connor." 

"Great." Connor winked. "We can now use Quinn's dresses that Jo made." 

"I will help with the decorations," Tracey said and looked down at Granger in her arms. "I think Granger would love that." 

"Excuse me, ladies. I will prepare Quinn's bed." He bowed in a very Prince-like way. Then, he turned his heels and left for his bedroom. 

  He did the usual routine. Vacuuming the bed over again and Quinn's separate mattress over the queen bed. He made sure that the rail around the bed is sturdy and it was locked so she wouldn't get hurt if ever she got curious about the locks. He then took a quick bath and prepared Quinn's sleeping clothes and milk. He went back to the party and watched as Quinn tried to open her eyes to play with them more. The other babies are sleeping in their mother's arms. Kal was still hyper as Cole and Ella. 

  Suddenly, Quinn cried when she saw him. She raised her arms for him to pick her up. He lifted her and kissed her forehead. 

"What's wrong?" He asked. "Are you sleepy?" 

  She pointed to her eyes. 

"Okay, you are sleepy." He wiped her tears. "Say goodnight to Ella?" He bent down and moved Quinn closer to Ella as Quinn kissed Ella. She waved at them. 

"Nighty-nighty, Kin-Kin." Ella waved at Quinn.  2

"Good night." Connor waved at them as he took Quinn to their room. "Did you enjoy your play?" He asked her. She smiled at him. He wiped her sponge bath first and changed her clothes into her favorite pajamas that Johanna made for her although it was bigger. 

  She crawled to her bed and lay down. Then, she raised her hand as he gave her the bottle. Quinn got up again and pointed to the pillow. He placed the big pillow behind her and she dropped her back and started sucking on her bottle. He turned back to check on Johanna if ever she sent a message but there was none. Like any other day. 

  Quinn threw her bottle which startled him. He turned to her and she went back to sleep, hugging the stuffed toy that Johanna also made for her. He reached the bottle from the edge of the bed and it was finished. 

"The attitude." He grumbled. He tucked her in with her blanket and kissed her forehead. "Daddy loves you, Quinn." He whispered. 

  He quietly focuses the camera on her. He then went out and saw Victor entering his room. He followed him. 

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Connor called. 

"Yeah, sure." Victor opened the door wide. Connor followed him inside. Then, Victor sat down and reached for his phone. "What's up?" 

"Did Johanna send you a message? I know that she will contact you, but she hasn't contacted me yet. So, I was wondering if she messaged you." 

  Victor looked down at his phone. 

"Wait." A video message indeed popped up. "She sent me one." He connected it to the LCD screen and Johanna's face popped up with a big smile. 

"Hi, Big bro. I'm sorry that I pushed you out of this facility. But I enjoyed my days here so you should enjoy being there while I am having fun here. Don't worry too much. I love you. Also, I don't want to message Connor since he will probably ask you if you ever received one. Just tell him that I love him and take care of Quinn. By the way, have you met my Quinn? Isn't she a darling? Well, I will get back to you all since I will be very busy. Give my kisses to Quinn!" She blows a flying kiss as the message ended. Victor gaped and looked at Connor.
