My intel had paid off. At 9am, the following morning, Tom Jackson left his little apartment on a quiet street in Queens, for his routine chiropractor’s appointment. We had called Holgate to let him know we almost had him, and then we would be on our way home. We had decided to rent a van and drive back to North Carolina. It will take around 8 hours with good traffic to get us back home. Then Julia and I would take a few days off to drive it back and then we can go wedding shopping in New York. She would love that.
I was driving the van. I needed to stay out of sight or Jackson would know what was going on. Tank and Rider were going to get him on the street, Creek would be inside the van with Gears, waiting to open the doors to get him in, and then I would drive off.

Even if I was showing by then, the dress would be able to be let out a bit. Bella had her baby the day after I found out I was pregnant. A beautiful baby boy called Samuel James Warner. They named him James after my brother.We decided to wait a few months before we told anyone that I was pregnant. It was too risky, especially after the awful morning sickness I had been suffering with. We just wanted to make sure the baby was fine before we told everyone. We told people that we were moving up the wedding because of problems with a supplier, and luckily, they believed us. Nobody commented on me not drinking, because I didn’t drink a lot anyway. We should be able to keep our secret for a little bit longer.I had set my alarm nice and early in the morning, n
