"Hello?" A familiar voice sounded after a couple rings. "Will?" I asked with confusion as my heart sank slightly.
"Julia?" He asked with the same level of confusion and shock.
"Is Colby working with you?" I asked, not wanting to know the answer. "Does he know you're talking to me?" He asked as I sighed and leaned back.
"No and he won't know because you're not going to tell him. Clearly he's working with you and that's how I got this number." I said and laid my hand over my belly.
"I don't have much time so I need you to explain fast what is going on." I explained. "Julia I-" Will started as I rolled my eyes.
"You owe me." I interrupted causing him to sigh. "I think it would be better to talk in person. Can you make that happen?" He asked as I shook my head.
"No, I can't. Just please hurry up and tell me what's going on." I said and looked up at the door, hoping Colby wouldn't be here too fast.
"While you were on your jobs for Pops, you killed someone very important to someone who worked closely with your father." Will explained as I listened intently.
"Before Colby and his gang there was a thing called the original four. Your dad, Pops, and two others." He explained as my heart sank.
"To get to the point...the other two of the four are after you." He said as my blood ran cold. "Colby's gonna get killed." I said as he breathed a laugh.
"They won't touch him. That's the sticky part about this situation. Snake is sly, hence his name. He won't go anywhere near Colby, he'll only go after you." Will said as I nodded.
"Good. Where can I find him?" I asked and kept my eyes on the door.
"You can't go after him, Julia. You won't be able to win this battle." Will said as I clenched my jaw. "Where can I find them?" I seethed.
Before he could answer me though, the doorknob started to move.
"I gotta go." I said then hung up the phone quickly as Colby came into the room.
"That was short." I said quietly as he nodded and walked towards me. "I'm letting them let off some steam in the gym." He said and closed the door.
"Did you apologize?" I asked and crossed my arms. "Of course I did. I don't mean to be such a douche but I wish you could understand the stress I'm under." He said as I nodded.
I did understand now.
Colby didn't want anything to happen to me or the baby, but he knew there was nothing he could do to save us.
I made the mistake and I had to fix it.
"Just...try to talk to me. Don't leave me out of how you're feeling, we're supposed to be a team." I said as he came over to me.
"I know. I just get so in the zone that it brings me back to before you were even in my life." He said with a sigh.
"I'm sorry." He said as I nodded. "I forgive you." I said, knowing if he knew what I was up to he would be angry.
I knew I was being shady and hypocritical but Colby was working with Will after everything that happened last year.
He didn't tell me that, so I didn't need tell him that I would be working with him, too.
"We should get you guys back in your room. I'm sorry it's hard to be trapped in that room all day." He said as I nodded.
"Unfortunately I'm used to it. I feel worse for the kids. Also I'm worried about their education." I said as he nodded and took my hands so I could stand up.
