"Spring Flowers"
Part 5 ~ English Prenup
by Kimberly 10/26/08
Jason closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He had interviewed
15 potential bodyguards for Elizabeth and the boys. Unfortunately, they
were either too inexperienced or so intimidating that they would scare
the boys.
"Spinelli, how many interviews do we have left?"
"Uhhh, we have one more. An armament named English. Strange. Just
one name."
Jason shrugged. "What can you tell me about him?"
"Well, it seems that English has impressive martial arts credentials,
is a licensed bodyguard, speaks several languages fluently, and has 10
years of experience. There is one thing..."
Jason raised his eyebrow in question.
Spinelli continued, "I can't find any personal history before 1998."
Jason thought about his own history, knowing what it is like to
disassociate yourself from your past. "Show him in."
Spinelli opened the office door "English?! Is there an English here?"
Jason watched Spinelli's mouth drop open, and he slowly backed into
the office. Great, Jason thought, another enormous muscled man. Spinelli
continued to back into the room, bumping into the chair and stumbled onto
Jason's desk. As Jason helped Spinelli regain his balance, he watched
English enter the office.
Her skin was the color of honey, and her thick wavy hair was pulled
back into a simple ponytail. Although she didn't quite reach five feet
five inches, Jason would not categorize her as petite, and skinny was not
even close. The jeans and matching jacket could not hide her athletic
frame. She glanced at Spinelli and then turned her attention to Jason.
Her eyes, the color of caramel, were indifferent and hollow. Her facial
features remained fixed and unemotional.
"Please have a seat."
She sat without saying a word.
"You'll have to excuse Spinelli. We were not expecting a woman."
"And such a beautiful woman at that." Spinelli chimed in. She raised
her eyebrows slightly as Spinelli started to blush.
"Thank you. I think...." She said softly. If she had an accent, Jason
couldn't place it. Without a regional dialect and a past history, it
would be hard for the police to find her.
"It seems that you have an impressive resume. Can you tell me what
you did before 1998?" Jason asked.
English remained silent. Jason nodded to himself. "Can you at least
tell me who you were working for from 1998 until now?"
"I was working for Julian Cruz since 1998."
Jason knew the name. If she could survive 10 years working for Cruz,
Jason knew she was good.
"Tell me why you left."
"Julian retired and I was not fond of his replacement."
Jordan Cruz had replaced his father and the rumors stated that Jordan
was more concerned with his girlfriends than his business.
Just to be sure, Jason asked "Do you have any references?"
English reached into her pocket and pulled out a folded piece of
paper. She handed it to Jason. When he opened it, he noticed Julian
Cruz's signature along with a phone number. Jason folded the letter and
placed it next to the phone. "Why should I hire a woman to watch over
my fiancée and small children?" he continued.
"As a woman, I can go everywhere your fiancée goes. As a woman, the
children will just see me as their babysitter."
Jason could see the logic. "I'd like you to meet them. Could you come
back on Friday?"
English nodded and handed Jason a blank card with her phone number.
"You can reach me at this number."
As English walked out of the office, Tracy marched in.
"We need to talk." She announced.
"You shouldn't be here." Jason stated.
"We need to talk." She repeated "alone."
It was clear that Tracy was not going to leave, so Jason asked
Spinelli to run over to Kelly's to pick up food. When Spinelli closed
the door, Tracy threw her handbag into the empty chair.
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
Jason looked at her in bewilderment.
"If you think you are going to get married without a prenuptial
agreement. You can think again."
Jason rolled his eyes in frustration. "Why would I need a prenup?"
"My God, Jason. Can't you see what she is up to? As soon as you get
married, she's going to try to tap into the Quartermaine trust fund."
"I don't need the Quartermaine money." Jason stated easily.
"Maybe you don't, but a girl that comes from nothing would sure find
that money enticing."
"I'm not asking her to sign a prenup."
"Oh yes, you will."
"Or what?"
Tracy walked closer to Jason. "Do you actually think you get your
ruthlessness from working in this business? Don't fool yourself. We
share the same genes, Jason. Maybe it's about time you realized it." She
picked up her bag and turned toward the door. "Get her to sign that
prenup or you're going to find out that ruthlessness runs in the
family."
Tracy didn't stay to hear Jason's response. As he heard her stomp out
of the coffee shop, Jason let out a sigh. He knew how to handle his
enemies, but he had no clue how to handle his family.
