Jessica swallowed feeling her mouth go dry. With Lergo gone she had lost her leverage. She was also now alone with her husband. “I think we need to talk,” she spoke in a neutral tone. Barely perceptible whispers erupted around her immediate vicinity. The rest of Clube Vertigo was still participating in their hedonistic pursuits. When Aedan wanted to make a scene he did. When he wanted something subtle, it remained that way. Aedan was giving her the option of a quiet retreat and she would take it. Not one of the people around her was brazen enough to look at the spectacle head-on. It was only side glances and peripheral views taking in the scene.

“Do you now? Whatever gave you that impression?” Aedan said as he offered his hand to her, clearly indicating she needed to take his hand and let him help her off the stool. As she stood he offered his arm for her to wrap her hands around. He knew she would follow suit, she always did and in this club, it wasn’t unusual for him in the past to take whoever he wanted from the bar.

Jessica slipped her hand around his arm. The movement felt natural except for the part about how calm Aedan was. If there was one thing Jessica learned about her husband it was calm equaled furious. “Aedan, I will explain everything but I think you have some things to explain also,” Jessica said with a smile fulfilling the role of arm accessory.

Jessica moved in step with Aedan as he led her through the club. More eyes were falling upon them but it out of curiosity than suspicion. The glances from both men and women told Jessica the patrons were all taking stock of Aedan and his choice of companion for the evening. Facial recognition programs would be in full swing as well as conversations about her identity would dominate the tables. The only stroke of luck was that Jessica knew nothing became public knowledge without Aedan’s control. Scramblers would be primed stopping the flow of any information in and out of his club. Her identity was as secure as Aedan deemed it needed to be. Without all the attention squarely on her, it was only natural for her to scan the room without impunity. Almost as shocking as finding Aedan here was the actual patrons of the club. Gruto Zapal, Valsi Jakin, Sion Janrand, Maxir Tillie, Daro Vene, Kuna Brenau, Runa Anen. The faces of the name’s in the club she noticed were a living dossier of the who’s who of the intelligence world. Teller had always been on their radar when she was an intelligence analyst. Until this second she had no idea how deep Aedan ran in the underworld community.

One other word from his only sentence to her drifted to the forefront of her mind: My club. How did Aedan own Club Vertigo and she had no clue was the first question followed by a plethora of others as she no longer thought about Shan’s mission.

Lt. Commander Jessica Teller.

Aedan said nothing as he walked in step with her heading back to the lift the would move them up to the second floor. Stepping into the lift the quiet echo of the club began to become louder once more. Whatever they had thought from the scene was quickly out of sight out of mind as the pair began moving upwards. As they exited the lift as he began to guide her to his office as the men in front of it stepped aside.

Once inside his office she would see it didn’t differ too far from his at Outpost 42, it was large with redwood and pristine old Earth vibe. It gave both a sense of warmth and power all at the same time. “Would you like something to drink?” Aedan asked as he turned back to her as he pointed towards the liquor cabinet he had on his wall area, one she would be very familiar with from his own office just what he had in stock.

“You know what I like, I suggest you bring me one too if you want to have a chat,” he said as he said down in one of the large comfy chairs as he crossed his legs as he waited for her to obey the command. “Make it double I feel like I am going to need it.”

Aedan Teller

Jessica licked her lips and dutifully headed to the liquor cabinet. Opening the glass door she retrieved two glasses and the bottle of whiskey. Pouring a measure for herself, she then poured Aedan his double plus and extra half measure. If he thought he needed a double, Jessica knew he would need more once they got talking. “Nice club,” she said walking to the sitting area. The click of her heels echoed in the room as Jessica crossed the highly polished oak floor. “So when did we buy it,” she asked handing him the crystal glass of amber liquor. Taking a seat on the couch across from him, Jessica settled back in the thick cushions, took a drink and waited for him to reply.

Lt. Commander Jessica Teller

“We didn’t buy it, I bought it… with a near two dozen others throughout the quadrant. You do realize I had a life before I meet you. Or did you forget for a second how we pay for all our excursions and trips…”

“OMAP is,” Jessica mistakenly began to reply hearing the briefest pause in Aedan’s speech. The moment he continued to talk indicated it was a rhetorical question for now and Jessica was to remain silent. If not Aedan would just talk over her. Sipping her drink she let him talk. Jessica needed to know what was going on in his head past ‘hey honey whatcha doing here?’

” or why I am needed off the Outpost. I made my home there cause it suits my needs, my mansion on OMAP where I spent most of my teen years as well as adult years lays vacant… well almost I did let a few senators crash there when they were trying to avoid some bribery scandal.” Aedan said as he took the glass from her as he began to nurse it slowly.

“Now a lot of questions arise with your presence here… not all of which I really think you need to be apart of.”

“Not be a part of,” Jessica snapped having a hard time remaining as calm as Aedan was. “Aedan I am your wife. Everyone down there thinks I am some flavor of the week. All the whispers in the tabloids about us separate every week…does it come from your activities on these business trips.” She spat the polite term for what she wanted to say like it was a bad taste from her mouth. This topic could be a back burner for their quarters. leaning forward she poured herself another large measure. No one was coming through that door. A slight buzz might help her right now figure out how to finish what she needed to do on Farius Prime.

“Tabloids talk, but I never break my promises to you. Ever, I vowed to love and be faithful. Past lives make everyone think if I say hi to a single other woman I am stepping out on you… I can’t stop people assuming when they shouldn’t, as much as I have tried.” Aedan said as he took a deep breath before taking another large swig from his drink as he mulled over his thoughts for his next question.

“So where is that lovely guy you had at the party… unlike you I didn’t for a second forget your career or your past adventures… the bruises and scars you used to have to have removed with that… Gunny was on the Outpost. ” Aedan said as he placed the glass down as he stared her down. The look wasn’t quite what he would normally want from her, their roleplay often had other looks.

Jessica shot him an icy glare before pulling her eyes off his and looking away. “That is…was none of your business…then. We both had things we do for work…apparently,” she downed the shot. “Also I gave that up when I married you,” Jessica said hotly. “I couldn’t have that life, be your wife and the mother of your child at the same time. It seems you can balance your cake and eat it too,” She gestured to herself.

“I wouldn’t lie to you, this place…” Aedan gestured around at the room before looking back at Jessica, “… is on like a dozen different portfolios of mine you have access to. I may not tell you every business transaction but our holdings have always been yours to know about… that is the privilege you get as my wife. You get far more access to my world than anyone else, it seems that isn’t as true for me when it comes to regards to you.” Aedan spat back, it was infuriating to have her constantly think he was doing something else. Even his other shady sides he had tampered over the years, leading underworld groups for profit and gain became harder when all you wanted was to take care of your family. If she didn’t understand how much he gave up for her he wasn’t sure how to explain it without implicating her in everything.

“So lemme come back with another question… do I strike you as a fool then? You want to keep denying fine, but you have been let into my life enough to know sometimes I have to step in and make things less messy. Or did you take me for some latchkey kid growing up on the streets, no kids… acting like I was Oliver Twist asking for just one more bite in the orphanage or shelters and just one day stumbled upon some nice plucky Daddy Warbucks who graciously gave me all I built… cause if that is the case then you have been completely fooled in our marriage and I have to wonder how I could have ever been with someone so stupid.” Aedan spat back as he brows furrowed as he looked at her as if she was someone he had never seen before.

“I am not stupid or blind. I’m just in love with you,” she stabbed a finger at him. “Love is blind and yeah I see what I want to see in you. I see the man that cuddles me in bed every night. I see the man that sits at the breakfast table with our daughter on one knee to the left and his work to the right. I see the man that brings me coffee because he wanted to grab five minutes alone with me on a busy day. That is the man I see when I look at Aedan Teller. You want me to see that other guy? All the nasty little things he does to make me a buck,” she looked at him icily.

“I do everything to keep you and Cera safe,”

“Don’t,” she leveled a finger at him, “give me that. You are the one that puts us in danger not letting any of this…whatever your into go.”

” and you think it’s a good idea to go on some past vendetta… or whatever this guy has cooked up…” Aedan paused as he pressed his hand to his ear as he nodded. “Speaking of the devil seems they found him in his hidey-hole… he should be here in ten minutes. So you have enough time to start thinking of the next lie.”

Aedan Teller

It didn’t surprise her hearing Aedan had Shaw. She thought they were going up against some random criminal group, not her husband. “Will he be walking or breathing,” Jessica threw a dirty look at Aedan in response to his ultimatum. Her anger at failing her mission had to stop. Right now she needed Aedan’s support and not to alienate him. “Please leave Shaw alone,” she asked softly pouring Aedan another drink. “He is just my partner for a little errand I had to run. I am not back in the game and before you ask yes they wanted me to go back in the field after Cera was born but I told them no. I can’t really do this pregnant now can I,” she tried to get her emotions under control.

“He might have more broken bones if he tries to make a move on you again… but I won’t kill him. I just want to know what you want, these places are filled with people far more ill-tempered than me, even a few more connected and dangerous than I.” Aedan said as he stood from his chair as he glanced out the window as he looked down at the club as its denizens continued on with their lives.

“Half a dozen cold blood killers down there, maybe two dozen con men, another dozen thugs for hire… Club Vertigo was never a place to tread in…” he said as he looked back over at Jessica as he slowly moved back down into his chair as he kept his head down low as he ran his hands through his hair.

“Aedan I need two hours and then we can leave,” she looked up at him with a slightly begging look. Her face had lost all the anger of being caught red-handed in her charade. “Please just give me two hours okay. I can’t take you where I need to go.” Moving off the couch she bent down so that she was next to his chair. “Please,” she laid her hand over his.

Jessica Teller

“No… you want to do this then you do it with me… I can keep a secret, but if you want to come back to the Outpost wearing this…” Aedan paused as he took her hands and began to rub the bare spot where her ring used to sit before continuing, “… then you are going to let me in on this. I can agree to let you do what you need to do, but I need to know what that is… I can’t protect you if you lie to me. That is my one job now above all, is to protect you… I will not abandon my job now.”

Aedan Teller

Jessica dropped to the floor in front of his chair. Still letting Aedan hold her hand she laid her head on his knee. This is the position she took so often with him at home. Aedan on the couch or chair and her sitting in front of him so that he could rub her shoulders while they watched their daughter play or she could lay her head in his lap as he stroked her hair pulling the ays stresses away as they talked. “I am not wearing a ring because I didn’t want to implicate you in any way. My hand feels naked without it,” she let out a small laugh. Jessica closed her eyes feeling Aedan’s hand pull off her wig and slowly stroking her real hair underneath. No matter what happened now, the thick knot of guilt was gone from her stomach. Aedan might have just tossed down the ultimate ultimatum in their relationship but if she was honest, he had every right to.

“I don’t care about implications, it’s not like I have some sterling reputation… in any corner of the galaxy. I do though have one with you. You are the one person I do everything for… so don’t think I can’t handle anything you can through at me.” Aedan said softly as he took her hand moving it up as he kissed her hand. He still had questions, but he felt better about things right now.

Raising her head, she looked up at Aedan. “Baby I don’t know where to start and I…I couldn’t risk you saying no or refusing to let me go,” Jessica bit her lip. “Hiding the truth is far better than outright defiance. Yeah, I am a skirting the line here but if you had said that I could not go, I wouldn’t have. That would have eaten away at me more than anything I find out about your less than legitimate business dealings maybe,” she added the disclaimer at the end. Aedan was right. She was not stupid.

“You are my wife if anyone needs to be done we can do it. I have far more resources I think than you may realize… you never need to go alone… that’s what my vow means to me.” he said softly as he reached over grabbing his drink finishing it as he took a deep breath.

“I am going to be a hypocrite here but the things you do are not black and white good and bad,” she admitted for the first time that she knew and accepted all of him. “The sheeple of the federation don’t understand how illegal phaser running shifted power in the Federation and not always for the bad. They cringe watching the nightly news about a gang banger but they have no clue how many fires are put out under the table because one deal takes out someone gaining too much power. I was in intelligence like you said. I don’t always understand at the moment but I do get the big picture, why I accept the big picture,” Jessica swallowed hard. “The problem is I got involved with,”

As if on cue the doors opened and Shaw was thrust in looking a little banged up but no worse for the wear. His face lost the tactile edge the second he wasn’t about to be brought into the room for a phaser to the head. “Am I interrupting something,” he looked at Jessica sitting on the floor at Aedan’s feet. “I mean I can give you like five…ten minutes. I am pretty sure there is one rib on the right side your guys didn’t bruise of fracture escorting my here,” he hooked a thumb at the door.

Pushing herself off the floor, Jessica gestured to the couch. Zachary moved to the indicated spot pausing only briefly to pour a measure of the amber liquid from the container on the coffee table into Jessica’s discarded glass. Walking to the bar, Jessica retrieved a new one for herself before sitting on the couch next to Shaw.

“No. No way missy,” he waggled a finger at Jessica almost playfully. “You go sit over there in the chair next to your husband,” he gestured with his glass sloshing a drop over the side. “I am done having my bones broken because I look at you sideways,” he said in a cocky but respectful tone.

Jessica

“In all fairness, I told them to mess with your face so I think they took it easy on you… ”

“Jeeze thanks Aedan,” Shaw two-finger saluted him. “Aedan can I call you Aedan,” he said flippantly. He knew the answer was going to be no but hell he had survived three encounters with the man so far. No one in intell was going to believe that nor that he was now drinking with the man.

“Not if you want to keep your teeth in the same arrangement they currently are on, no,” Aedan said with a gruff tone as he stared down Shaw. He quite frankly was done with the man but for some reason, Jessica found him useful.

“Mr. Teller it is then,” he fished out an ice cube from his drink placed it in a napkin and applied it to one of his various bruises.

Aedan said as he got up from his chair as he pressed a button near the window, which turned the transparent window an opaque and brought up a computer screen that showed details from all com traffic, flight traffic, and foot traffic for the past six months. “So what is it you two really needed here?”

Aedan Teller

Jessica looked at Shaw with a side glance. And this is where you freak, she thought to pour her husband a drink. “This helps but I think I need to start at the beginning.”

“Sometimes that helps but the beginning can be so boring, how about we skip to the part I really care about?” Aedan countered as he took the drink from Jessica. He may love her, but he had no desire to go down the winding road that was her mind right now.

“God lord let me or we will be here for the next hour. You know how talking to Jess is. Fifteen mini conversations about three other topics before you get to what actually needs to be said,” Shaw groaned slightly leaning forward to pour himself another drink. “No offense but your wife can be a chatterbox,” he moaned again leaning back into the couch.

Rolling her eyes she studied Shaw. “Can I call Stevenson,” she asked Aedan. Shaw was only banged up but Jessica needed the bumps and bruises fixed for later.

“I actually agree with him for once, let him tell it. If he misses any details you can take a finger of his.” Aedan said with a sadistic grin as he sipped further on the drink.

Stevenson had to be some sort of medic or doctor. Zachary doubted it was a thug but nothing was eve off the table with Aedan Teller. “For the sake of brevity I am going to give the major points to the story but if you are lost on anything just stop me,” Shaw took a slow drink of his whiskey savoring its flavor before starting. “About fifteen years ago the Romulans attacked Vorta V over some minerals. They massacred the population and gave those that remained alive to the Syndicate for whatever purposes they desired. Ariel Wright was one of those survivors. She was too young initially to be of economic value so they put her out to do petty thefts and crimes. Lucky for her she had the looks to attract an up and coming player by the name of Jonas Wright.” Shaw paused long enough to see if Aedan knew the name.

“Her association with Jonas kept her out of the brothels. Eventually, Jonas married her and knocked her up. One night on a theft Ariel was nabbed by the Federation Security forces. They took her downtown and found out she was one of the survivors of the colony massacre. The Federation carted her home and unknowingly set forth an unholy force on the underworld. See what no one knew was her baby was taken by Jonas and they both disappeared. Ariel has made it a crusade to find the kid only she knows no one legitimate is going to get where she needs to go. So when she gets a lead, she sends out one of her little contacts on an errand as she calls it to run the lead. Starfleet Intelligence lets her play because she has this uncanny ability to walk into places angels fear to tread and walk back out unscathed.”

“That’s where I come in,” Lauren said. “There is a lead that her kid is with the Asfar Qatala Crime Syndicate making Red Ice. I need to get to the factory level. Lergo was my in. I can’t go strolling in with you because baby you are like the poster child for crime syndicates,” she let out a laugh. “So the new plan is you stay here and give me an extraction if I need it. It will be far easier to have a place to regroup when I am done. Shaw watch my six as I go into the factory slums, ask a few questions and then get out…with the kid hopefully. So”, Jessica stood up putting on her wig, “we know what we are doing.”

Jessica

“Why don’t I just buy her?” Aedan said, with a serious tone as he looked at the time.

“She is not a puppy or space yacht honey,” Jessica sighed rolling her eyes. Aedan always defaulted to money where problems came about. Privately when she came to him complaining about something wife-like, he would joke to throw enough money at it and baby you won’t have a problem anymore. In Aedan’s defense thought, his money did solve the average problem.

“I never said she was, but these type of people see a little distinction from that fact. Buying her outright guarantees the safety of all and I have the money to spare… you always tell me to not go to the violent, besides Asfar just deals in credits, he cares little about items if they can be sold for profit, I feel like you are going after him with the wrong angle.” Aedan paused as he took a deep breath as he looked over at Jessica.

“You want her safe, pay it off… if he refuses I can always go violence I find is always the answer… hit squads on his production lines to thin out the working staff do wonders, I never liked his business anyway too much human misery,” Aedan said with an almost nonchalant tone. It was in some ways ironic he was willing to take hits on people, but only if it limited more people being hurt. He had a clear cut view on just what he considered just.

~Aedan Teller

“Aedan,” Jessica wore a look a shock on her face. “That is not how this works. That is not how any of this works. We don’t thin out production lines in criminal syndicates. We blow them up with big honkin’ space guns from orbit…or start-up diplomatic routes,” she added knowing her boss would not approve of the Lancer’s double-barreled approach to a situation.

“Who said thin out? You kill the guards and tell the workers you will pay them fairly if they leave if they come to work for me. My business just deals with… mostly legal stuff, certainly not drugs or human trafficking. Most will turn, and those that don’t… well we can’t have people being alerted so maybe we find other ways to silence them.”

“Besides it’s more than an extraction,” Jessica said off-handed as she sipped at her drink.

“Because,” Shaw looked at Jessica raising one eyebrow. “What mission are you on that I did not sign up for?” For Shaw discretion was out the window. If there was more to this he wanted to know but full disclosure to Aedan was more important. Jessica had the trump card. Sure she might get angry and dinners could be icy for a period but the guy loved her. Much like the saying ‘, you will never know how much I love you’, clearly from Shaw’s standpoint, Jessica had no idea how much Aedan Foster Teller really did love her. The first red flag was that he didn’t toss her into a pair of cement overshoes and into the bay after the stunt downstairs. Half the reason anyone stayed alive in the spy and criminal underworld was that they understood women could be far meaner than any man given the chance. A woman could look all sweet and demure like Mrs. Teller sipping a drink in a dress that oozed feminine wiles but that same woman like Mrs. Teller could kill you ten ways from Sunday and never blink.

The other and the more profound reason was the public paper trail Aedan created the second he married the woman. Intelligence thought it was some kind of ploy but even their lawyers and analysts could find no loophole in the prenuptial agreement the man signed. If handing his fortune over to her with no recourse on his end didn’t show his absolute devotion to the woman nothing in the universe would.

“Cause I was enlisted to find the kid, pop her out, and head home. I have the paperwork to show you on that Mr. Teller,” Shaw said half humorously half sarcastically, “although at this point I am thinking you have a copy,” he lifted his glass in a toast hoping to keep Teller on his side. “If there was a side job I was not told.”

Jessica shot Shaw a sour look and directed her gaze back to Aedan who was sitting as calmly in his chair drinking his whiskey as if he were at home watching the game with a beer. This mission was not going to be as clean as she thought. “God you are going to hate this,” she said with half a smirk looking at Aedan. Jessica’s mirth was more out of defeat than humor. Aedan was going to hate this but he was also not going to tell her no.

“Zorina Lavarone,” Jessica uttered the one name both men would know and not be happy about. “I heard she is here. I am going to kill her. It’s the least I can do.”

“Lord… again nuke from orbit.” He said as the two looked at him with an odd look. “Well first pay for the kid, free the workers and have the Sabre nuke this place… not everything has to be cloak and daggers. I am all for that approach most days, it’s how I started it’s how I know everything around me, it’s how I know everything at any given moment… it’s also how I know that Zorina will not be easy… you wanna save lives… nuke the place.” Aedan said, feeling his approach was the most practical.

~Aedan Teller

“Easy is not always satisfying,” Jessica said walking over to a wall and pressing a button on the moulding. Instantly a panel slid back revealing a wall of weapons that would make any armor officer salivate. She hoped the surprise she felt inside was not revealed on her face. She had no idea if there would be a weapon here yet the room was identical to Aedan’s office back at the penthouse. Her body hid any hint of the access point or code from Shaw but there was no hiding the arsenal once it was revealed.

“Someone’s been snooping…” Aedan soft low as he arched an eyebrow over at Jessica as she accessed the panel. “Do I need to have my codes changed again? I hate new security cycles.”

“Holy....are you planning to go to war or,” Shaw let his voice trail off as he took in the wall of phasers, sidearms, and half a dozen other weapons that would only be legal on a planet full of thugs, throats, and thieves. “You know what,” he threw up his hands and leaned back on the couch looking straight forward. “All I saw was your first edition of Herman Melville’s copy of Mobey Dick but for the record Jessica, do not let Zorrina become your white whale.” Taking a sip of his drink Shaw looked non-plussed slowly snapping the pieces together in his mind. It was all making sense as to why Jessica was going half-cocked into this assignment instead of her typical detached and analytical manner.

“I am not letting her walk out and I am not going to kill her,” Jessica said pulling out one weapon inspecting it as she spoke. “It’s personal and you know that,” she snapped at Shaw. Her eyes held an unbridled rage that gave Jessica a deadly expression. “If my cover is blown then I will get another and another and still another but she will,” Jessica began to lose control of her tone as she spoke to Zachary, “pay. You didn’t want to,”

This was not a side Aedan had seen of Jessica as he leaned back into his couch, sipping his drink as he kicked up his feet on the ottoman in front of him as he just looked back and forth between the two.

Standing up Zachary slammed his glass on the table with a loud crack that echoed in the room like a slap to the face. “It was not in the mission,”

“Oh, you shouldn’t have said that… she doesn’t like being told to stay on task… she always wants to go off-book… our first dated ended up in a brawl in a Ferengi bingo den.” Aedan said raising his glass to Shaw before going back to take another sip as he watched the two continue.

“Do not lecture me about,” Jessica began a screaming match with Shaw as she raised a finger pointing at him. The conversation was going downhill fast.

“Parameters,” Shaw fought with Jessica for the lead in the topic of the conversation. “You knew going in,”

“Parameters,” Jessica yelled back starting to cross the room. Each step was firm, unyielding, and challenging. “Not what we found and we shouldn’t have,”

“What,” he held out his arms in a challenging pose. “Not followed orders because you saw something that ou didn’t like. Well, congratulations sunshine for learning, not all assignments go as planned,” Shaw closed the space along with Jessica meeting her in the middle of the room. “We went in, completed the job like we were ordered to,” he yelled back in an authoritative tone. “Is that why you took the transfer,” he taunted Jessica. “Because you didn’t like the way things turned out. Guess what pumpkin fixing the rights and wrongs of the Federation is not your job. Your job now like then is to follow your orders and shut your mouth.” Whatever was going on between Shaw and Jessica was deep-seated and from long ago. The anger between the two of them was as volatile and fiery as it was five years ago.

“You know… as much as I would love to spend money to delve more into the past missions you two took…” Aedan said as he stood up as he began to walk over to Jessica, placing himself just behind her so his body was firmly pressed behind her as he reached into the weapons locker. “You wanted help… then you will get it.” he said softly, loud enough for Shaw to hear but clearly meant for solely Jessica as he pressed his lips right to her ear as he spoke. As he did this act, she would fell in front of her pressing up against her chest some cold steel as Aedan’s free hand had grabbed one of the rifles for her to hold onto.

“You do still recall how to fire one of these don’t you doll face?” Aedan asked as he grabbed another rifle as he tossed it Shaw’s way before grabbing two pistols he placed on his body before turning around, “You think we will need grenades too?” he asked with a cocked eye, wondering just what it was going to take to complete whatever crazy idea she had. It didn’t matter though what the idea was, he would support her. That is the promise he made to her.

“Shut up…” Aedan said as he looked over at Shaw, hearing the man talking again caused his anger to flare as he pulled the pistol from his left hip as he fired it straight at his chest, the room flashing as he did as the dampening fields prevented the shot from impacting him. “Dammit… I forgot I kept that on.” Aedan grumbled as he placed the pistol back to his hip as he walked over to Shaw as he pulled the rifle from him.

“If you want this thing to even fire for you, you better be a good boy…” he said as he showed Shawn the side grip which had a red light on. “Biometric locks… if you wanna help you will shut up or you will find a permanent ditch to stay in, do you understand me?”
