Jodie came outside to get them saying Monica wanted to see them.

Monica told them that Sam had broken ribs. The shot she had received were not life threatening and that all the other thing were superficial but she had been worked over pretty good. She has been sedated and will sleep through the night.

Marina had 3 guards placed on the floor that Sam was on and 2 in her room.

"Jason I will see you in a few hours. I am going to have Jodie take me home, take care of a few things then I’ll come back here"

As Jodie drove she was thinking.

"What the hell is going on here? How do I ask her?"

When she pulled into the driveway and got out and went in side, Jodie immediately went to the bar and fixed them both a drink. She sat next to Marina on the couch and handed her the glass.

"How are you feeling?"  Jodie asked.

"Thanks, I need this. I am doing better now that I know that Sam is going to be ok" said Marina.

"Marina, I want to know what is going on…and I saw the gun in the small of your back tonight" said Jodie.

Marina swallowed the last of her drink then got up to pour them both more.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes" said Jodie, "I need to know so I can decide if I want to continue to be in a relationship with you"

"Ok…Then the reason I don’t need any money from my husband is that many of my other business interest are illegally and dangerous. That is why I have the gun that you saw"

"Why did your friend Sam get hurt? Did that have anything to do with you?" asked Jodie.

"Sam is my right hand and because of that she got hurt tonight. My response to Sam being hurt will be swift and hard" Marina said in a hard tone. 

"OMG!" Jodie said as she raked her fingers through her hair.

"I know that this is a lot to take in right but please, hear me out before you make a decision ok…" saod Marina.
