254 Setting a trap

"Good call getting rid of the other nurse, she is Groves sister. I was on my way to meet Dr Chavez when I saw her. I thought she looked familiar but I was certain when she mentioned her brother . His intention was to kill Brayden. She is working with the department head they were talking about trying to kill him in recovery. Dr Chavez has already sent security to keep watch but I have an uneasy feeling. " Cora tells Astila without even taking a breath. Astila gets a concerned look on his face. 

"It will be ok , since we know that it is no accident everyone is on alert. I will stay with him from this moment on dont worry . One of us will be with him at all times. I will tell you what your uncle Steve has said. We did not teach you how to hunt just for game, we taught you how to fight and shoot to protect yourself. Do you have your tools with you." Astila asks Cora. Cora nervously looks at Dr. Chavez as she pulls out her stars. Astila grins and winks at the Dr. " good girl, don't forget your pretty face and innocent fragile looks always is your opponents downfall. Don't look for trouble let us handle it but always be prepared." Astila turns and heads to the recovery room to check on Brayden. Dr Chavez looks at Cora and asks. 

"What did he mean by that and why do you have those?" 

Cora sighs and tells him.

"My uncles are not what they seem they all are elite military fighters. Even my Aunt HeJin has taken down a few bad guys. From the time we are old enough to pull a bow string we are taught how to hunt with every type of weapon. My mom can put shoot most men in fact several women in our family hold records for archery and marksmanship. Crystal holds the record in our state for archery . We all have been taught in some form of hand to hand as well. I always liked Aunt HeJin's stars so I was taught martial arts. So as long as one of the adults is with him he will be safe. Very few people can beat us. We seem strange don't we?" Cora looks at him not understanding why his answer means so much to her. Dr. Chavez shakes his head no. 

"I'm glad that my sister and nephew has married into the family. I remember him calling me years ago excited that hunting classes was starting. He was confused though that a gurl was going to teach him but he got good quickly. He even said someone made him a hand crafted bow. Now that surprised me." Dr Chavez tells her Cora tells him.

Astila's mind has not been at ease since finding out that someone hurt Brayden. He looks at the boy that has become such a big part of his family. His anger rises every time he thinks of him laying there,feeling the hairs on his neck prickle he knows that danger is near. Astila pretends to be asleep while having his phone on record . The nurse from before walks in as if she is just checking on him she notices that Astila is asleep . Slipping a syringe out of her pocket she goes to inject it into the IV bag. Before the syringe can even touch the bag there is a voice behind her. 

"Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in jail I suggest you drop it. " HeJin had been behind the curtain in the other bed waiting to see if anyone would try to hurt Brayden. The nurse jumps and turns thinking to stick Hejin . Astila pushes the emergency button to set off the alarm. HeJin doges the syringe and punches the woman in the face and knocks her legs out from beneath her. The nurse hits the floor and HeJin smashes her head on the floor knocking her out. HeJin sits on the woman's chest just incase she tries to move before the police arrive. Dr Chavez walks in the room and sees Astila crawling under the bed trying to reach  the syringe that fell. HeJin is sitting on the nurse. The security officer walks in and looks sheepishly at Dr Chavez. 

"I'm sorry but the department head called me over to ask why we were here, he was making a big deal about it. The nurse must have slipped in when I was talking to him. " Dr Chavez looked at him angerily. 

"We're you not told that this room was off limits to both of them ?" Asking the security gaurd looks down at his hands in shame. The police arrived at the scene and arrested the nurse and department head, to give the security gaurd a lesson on following orders he has him arrested as an accomplice. Telling the officer that he wants to make sure he is not involved. When they are taking the nurse out her phone rings. It's Grove, he is calling to see if it's done. Astila tells her 

"Answer it tell him that the boy is dead, if you tip him off that it's a lie you will have it worse. " the nurse answers her phone she is scared and it shows in her voice.

"Grove it's done the boys is dead, the alarm that went off earlier was because of him coding. They have tried to revive him but no luck." They hear Grove celebrating through the phone. He tells her good to meet him at her house in an hour. Mobilizing the others they make a plan to capture him at her house. They have Aisling to cast a glamor spell and open a portal inside the woman's house. Astila takes the nurses keys and drives her car to park in the drive.the bureau agents are in the house next door listening. 

Grove arrives with the monster and his bodyguard. They come in and call out fir the nurse. Aisling walks from the back room without saying much she goes in acting nervous and quiet. Grove wants details so he sits and asks her

"how did it go how did you do it without getting caught?" Aisling looks at him seeing the excitement in his eyes she down plays it by just saying. 

"I just gave him an over dose of morphine straight into his system . It took no time he just never woke up. Now will you tell me why this child was to die?" Her voice quiet. 

"Oh that , his step father is the reason I went to jail and lost everything. He will now have a taste of what it feels like to lose everything." The malice in his voice sent chills up Aisling's spine. She looks at the men with Grove they are just as evil as he is. 

"I know you suffered but to kill an innocent child isn't that a little to far?" Aisling wants to make him tell her more. 

"look I lost my children's respect and love because of him and that slut if an ex wife. So what if he loses a child that is not even his. He owes me and he is going to pay. " he pulls out his phone and calls Marshal. 

marshal sees an unknown caller come up on his phone he puts it on speaker and starts to record. 

"my condolences on your loss, I hope you are not so heartbroken that you can't meet up with me . We need to discuss how you are going to compensate me for stealing my life . I know you have money so your just going to hand it over to me or who knows what will happen to your wife and other child. " Grove asks him not knowing that he is being recorded. Marshal slams the table and answers him. 

"you tell me when and where I will be there . How much do you want?" Grove chuckles and tells him. 

" Ten million should help me get started someplace. It shouldn't be to hard for you to get your hands on. " Aisling gasps how does he think Marshal has that much money. He doesn't have it but she of course will be willing to give it to him. 

when Grove hangs up the mobster asks him.

"Do you really think he has that kind of money?" 

"His cousin does if he doesn't. The last time I hacked her accountants files she was worth roughly fifteen million. I figured since she has always been generous to the family she may still have ten left. If not Marshal can sell his house and his shares in the business, trust me that family will find a way. All we will need to do is show up and collect and after we collect,  we kill Marshal. " Grove starts to go over the plan on how to kill Marshal . Still not suspicious of Aisling or the agents listening in.
