Conspiracy

Chapter Twenty Seven

After talking to my dad I went back to the hotel and went straight to Angelica's room. I had text her on the way and told her that I wanted the case file and that I wasn't staying. I was still upset that she didn't tell me that she knew this was connected to me in some way from the beginning. I believed at this point that she wasn't connected to the killings, but what I didn't know was if she got close to me on purpose, and if she had I wasn't sure how to feel about that right now. When I knocked I thought I heard voices like more than one person was in the room but decided it was probably just the TV. She answered and opened the door for me to come in, "I told you I wasn't staying, just give me the file." She was about to say something when a voice came from behind her, "Will you just get your ass in here." I knew the voice but there was no way that I was hearing it right. I walked passed her, and sitting on the bed was Amy. I just stood there staring at her and looking back and forth between her and Angelica. Angelica looked just as shocked to be in this situation but Amy had her classic smirk on her face, "Oh relax baby, this was going to happen eventually." Just then there was a knock at the door. I instinctively reached for my gun, "Are we expecting company?" I heard a laugh behind me and a hand on my wrist, "Relax Kel." Angelica opened the door and Bailey in "So what am I doing here?" She came to a stop looking at me and Amy standing in front of her. "Amy," was all she could say. She walked towards us and they hugged, we were all good friends growing up so her loss was hard on Bailey too. During all this I really didn't ask her how she was feeling about Amy being alive. As they pulled away from each other Amy smiled, "We'll catch up soon B." Bailey wiped a tear from her eye and then started laughing, we all looked at her confused, then she started pointing to all of us, "This should be fun." I rolled my eyes and Amy hit her arm, "Ya, ya. How did this all happen anyway?" I said looking at Angelica. She shook her head, "Don't look at me. This was her." I turned next to me to see Amy's face. It was so great to see her again, after all this time I was trying to savour every moment I could. "It was time Kel, if we are ever going to get through this. We have to work together." She wasn't wrong but I was still nervous about exposing Amy to any unnecessary danger. "Stop worrying Mc, she can clearly take care of herself," Bailey said as she walked over and sat on the bed. "Plus I think she could take her anyway." I turned and gave her a dirty look, she was making jokes and I was freaking out. Angelica walked over to the desk and grabbed a file and handed it to me. "This is everything I have on your mom," she looked at me as I took the file. Before she let go she said softly, "I am really sorry Kelly." I nodded because I didn't think having this conversation with our current company was the way to go. As I read she was giving me a summary. "I didn't know it at the time but it looks like your mom, and your dad were in business together," she said pointing at Amy. I looked at Amy because I was wondering if she knew. She knew what I was asking without saying anything, "I had no idea Kel." The company that your dad was working for had hired your mom to keep an eye on Amy and Justin. It looks like your mom was involved with them when you were young and then when things started to go south she was supposed to keep them close. Amy did you ever see Jessica while you were in hiding?" She shook her head, "No, why do you think she knew I was alive?" Angelica didn't look sure, "I don't know but she was killed not long after you were in the city. I started to believe that they killed her because she wouldn't tell them where you were." I got up and started pacing around the room, I couldn't really process the thoughts that were going through my head. Was my mother a criminal? Was she trying to help the people that were out to hurt Amy? Did she give up her life to protect the love of my life? After feeling like she left me my entire life. The three of them just stood there staring at me while I put a hole in the floor beneath me. Amy and Bailey didn't seem phased because they knew how I processed but Angelica looked like she wanted to say something. While I went back and forth trying to figure out what our next step was I saw Bailey wave Angelica over to sit down next to them on the end of the bed. I kept stopping in front of them to say something and changing my mind and turning away. After what felt like forever but was probably five minutes I stopped again. "Am, do you know where your dad is at this point?" She shook her head, "No I haven't seen him since he cleaned out the house. When you started sniffing around he worried that they were going to come for him so he wanted to get away. He said he was going to call his FBI contact to hide him but I have no idea if that happened." I leaned back on the desk behind me putting my hand to my face trying to think. "Ang, were you able to get a hold of whoever you were trying to reach about Justin's deal?" She was shaking her head too, "I reached out but I have to do it through some back channels since we don't know who we can trust. I should hear back tomorrow." That made sense, I just wish there was a way to speed up the process. Bailey was sitting between both of these women who were watching me and she was smirking. I knew when this was all over I was never going to hear the end of it from her. "So do we have any idea why these fuckers are coming after me?" They all kind of shrugged but Amy answered, "It's likely to force me out. They knew that if they went after you I would come back here." That kind of made me smile, but also made me sad because it meant that I was the reason she was in danger. At this point there wasn't much we could do until we heard back from Angelica's contact so I just wanted to get comfortable and lay down, I had a feeling we weren't going to get much sleep the next few days so I figured we better take advantage while we had the chance. "Alright, so we wait to hear back. Bailey, you wanna poke at your contact too, just in case she can find something out." She sighed loudly but I knew she would do it. I looked around the room and then back to Angelica, "Do you have any booze in here or what?" She laughed and went to the desk, there was a drawer at the bottom and she pulled out a bottle of whiskey. "Now that's what I'm talking about." She passed me the bottle and headed to the bathroom. Bailey took the chance to go out in the hall to make the call she didn't want to make. So it was just me and Amy in the room. I poured us all a glass of whiskey, handed Amy hers and walked towards the window. I was staring out at the sky when I felt her body next to me, "This must be so hard for you Kel, I'm so sorry. I can't say it enough. I wish I had told you everything then, but I was so worried that something would happen to you." I turned to face her putting my drink down on the windowsill. She did the same and we were standing close to each other. I had my hands on her hips, hooking my fingers in the belt loops of her jeans. She had her hands on my forearms and I leaned my head toward her. She leaned back and as our heads touched I exhaled probably more loudly then I meant too. "I love you Kelly," she whispered. I looked up and our eyes met and I whispered back, "I love you too," before kissing her softly. It was then I felt another presence in the room, and I knew that my luck was going to mean it was Angelica and I was right. She looked sad but she didn't say anything. This was awkward for me too because I wasn't expecting to have Amy walk back into my life but that's where I am so I needed to find time to talk to Angelica. Bailey walked back in and broke the tension as Amy and I picked up our glasses and downed our drinks, "Alright, I made the call. She'll call me back tomorrow." I put our empty glasses down on the desk and thought about pouring another one but decided we should probably go, "Alright, I say let's call it a night. It's going to be a long day tomorrow, we should all get some rest." Everyone was in agreement so Bailey, Amy and I left.

We got into the hallway and I looked at Amy, "You're staying with me right?" She smiled and grabbed my hand, "I'm never leaving you again." Bailey smiled at us as we got into the elevator, "It's nice to see this, it's been too long." I leaned over and kissed Amy's cheek, "Thank B, you could say in the hotel if you want, I still have that other room." She looked relieved at not having to drive home so I gave her the key and we headed to my room. Holding Amy's hand as we walked towards the door and just the idea that this was real seemed crazy to me. We were still taking a risk that someone was going to find out she was here, especially if they were watching me, but without talking about it we had both decided that we had spent too much time apart already. I opened the door and she walked in ahead of me, I shut the door and locked it. Before I had the chance to turn around I was being spun and my back slammed against the door. Her lips crashed into mine and her hands were already up my shirt. She tore it over my head and reattached our lips. She pinned my hands above my head and started kissing down my neck. She brought her mouth to my ear, "Fuck me baby." It was enough to make my knees weak, but she didn't need to tell me more than once. I spun her around and pulled her shirt over her head. She tried to pull me close to her but I put her back against the door so that I could undo her pants and pull them and her underwear down. As I came back up her body I ran my hands along the inside of her thighs and started to kiss her stomach. Every time I saw her naked I noticed scars that I hadn't seen before. I made a very quick mental note to find out what happened to her when we finally had time to talk about everything. As I stood back up to face her she wrapped her arms around my neck. I pressed my body against hers giving her very little room to move between me and the door. I kissed her again, dipping my tongue passed her lips while she met it with her own. I pressed my knee between her legs just slightly and she moaned in my mouth. I placed my hands on her ass and started to lift as she used her arms around my neck to lift herself into my arms. Her legs wrapped around my waist and I started to walk towards the bed. Our lips never parted and I honestly had no idea how I got where we were supposed to be because I couldn't see anything. I sat down on the side of the bed with her straddling my lap. She was kissing my neck and I was sure she was going to leave a mark. With one hand still around her back holding her up I moved the other hand between her legs. My fingers lightly pressed against her center and she reacted by pulling my hair back so she could continue to bite on my neck. She bit down and as I felt it I slid my fingers inside her and she let out an audible moan, "Fuck." I started slowly but she had other plans as she started to ride my hand at a faster speed. She lifted herself off and plunged herself back down as she met my moving hand. She kissed me again but with each motion it became harder for her to concentrate and our lips were just touching as her breath quickened. I could feel her starting to tighten around me and her nails started to dig into my back. "Come for me babe." With a couple more thrusts she buried her head in my neck and released. Her body shook a few times before her body relaxed in my arms. I wrapped both arms around her and stood up to turn around and lay her down on the bed. I kissed her forehead as she flopped her arms back exaggerating how exhausted she was. I went to head to the bathroom and she grabbed on to my arm and pulled me back, "Where are you going? I smiled down at her, "Was just going to get changed for bed." She was smiling but her smile quickly turned to a smirk. "I can help you with that," she said as she pulled me down on top of her. So much for getting sleep tonight.
