Adam and the others stop in front of the building where Aiden says that Julie was brought. Aiden joins them even as Adam looks the building over curiously.

"Are you sure this is where she was brought, Aiden?" Azlo says dubiously, voicing the thoughts of all of them. The house is a nice upper middle class house in a nice upper middle class neighborhood.

"I'm sure. Her scent is faint but you can still smell it. I saw three men with her. She was unconscious, but I don't know if it was because they hit her or used drugs. There could be more men inside, but I couldn't smell anyone else."

All during his speech Adam remains quiet and looks over the house. "Alex, doesn't this house look familiar to you?"

Alex takes a closer look at the house but nothing looks familiar to him. He looks at Adam curiously, "No, should it?"

"I would think the house of the person that nearly caused you to kill Julie would be more familiar to you." Adam replies without taking his eyes off the house in front of him.

"This is Judy's house?" Alex says in surprise. It makes sense why he doesn't remember it, he's done everything he could to erase anything to do with her.

"Yes, and I think that she and I will be having a little talk once we are done here. Aaron, unless Julie is in need of healing I want you to take her home immediately once we find her. It will be too late to take her to the play, but perhaps you'll be able to watch a movie or play with the kids instead."

"Yes, Adam," Aaron rather likes that idea.

Arthur is watching Adam rather than the house, "What will you be doing, Adam?"

Adam gets a look on his face that the brothers haven't seen since the last time Julie was kidnapped. "I'll be dealing with some garbage. She's crossed me too many times."

Arthur raises just one eye brow. "Are you sure? Julie might not like that too much."

"I hadn't planned on asking her. But if you insist I will before Aaron takes her home. Now I think we should go join this party. Julie might be needing some healing right now."

The others immediately follow Adam's orders and they are in short order inside the house. What they find shocks them into immobility.

"Hello, boys. It took you long enough." Julie says standing over the bloody corpses of her kidnappers.

"Well, you know someone forgot to invite us to the party. By the time we found out where it was at, it was over. You didn't save any for us?" Adam says rather flippantly and tries to hide the smile fighting to come onto his face.

Julie just shrugs, "How careless of the hosts. Things were a bit dull, so I did my best to liven things up a bit, but they didn't like my games."

With that Adam gives out a laugh and picks her up and swings her around. "So what the fuck happened?"

Julie tells them: 

"Aiden and I were just finished with our shopping and returning to the car. Aiden and I had our hands full and so there wasn't much we could do in public when the men jumped us.

"One man managed to get behind Liam and broke his neck and then sliced his throat just to make sure that he was dead.

"Another man managed to pistol whip Aiden before we even registered that we were under attack.

"I heard a couple of gunshots but I'm not sure what happened with them because one of these assholes knocked me out. Fortunately they used their gun to do it rather than the drug." Adam see the bruise and is less than happy.

"When I woke up they had me tied to a chair. Seriously is that all that kidnappers can do, tie their captives up to a chair?"

"No, I've used nails to nail them to the chair or floor." Adam says thoughtfully, "Or there's-" Julie hurries to intervene, she really doesn't want to hear all of the ways she could have been restrained and wasn't.

"Sorry I said anything. Any way, the ropes weren't strong enough and I was able to break them enough to take them off of me. Since I didn't like being kidnapped or Liam being killed I dealt with them. 

"Did the guards make it?" Julie remembers to ask.

"No, they were killed and hidden in the stairwell of the garage." Azlo tells her once she finishes telling them her part of the story.

"So how did you finally find the party location?"

Aiden smirks, "They should have made sure of me before they left. I was able to follow the vehicle they tossed you in, but couldn't find a way to deal with it with all the humans around." Aiden's voice is full of the irritation he felt. He feels like he let Julie down by not getting to her sooner.

"It's alright, Aiden. This is in no way your fault." Julie says then smirks, "not like last time."

At Aiden's hurt look Julie goes over to him and apologizes. "I'm sorry, that was low. I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just messing with you. I don't hold last time against you either. That was the rogues and Adam's fault."

She knows Adam heard her because he throws her a dirty look. 

"So, Adam, are you going to kill Judy this time or punish her some other way since she earns you so much money?"

The others look at Julie in shock and no little dismay. "Julie, how do you know that Judy's part of this party?"

Julie gives Aaron a disbelieving look. "I spent more time in her house during my high school years than my own. I know what Judy's parents house looks like. I know that when her mother died two years ago that the house was left to her and her brother jointly, but since he moved out of state he sold his half to Judy.

"I don't know why Judy keeps it since she seems to enjoy the tiny little apartment at the back of the strip club, Adam owns." Julie shrugs, she doesn't have the answers, but these questions aren't that important.

"I plan on killing her this time. She's fucked with my family too many times to be given another chance." Adam says after Julie answers Aaron's question.

"Thought so. So what are you going to do about the leftovers from the party?"

Adam smirks, "Absolutely nothing." The neighbors on either side of the house have moved as well. He's going to let the bodies rot and destroy any evidence they might have.

"Are you sure that's the best thing to do?" Alex queries Adam.

"I'll make sure that it looks like a break in, but other than that, I'm not going to mess with it at all." He expects that it will take at least a month before the smell drives the nearest neighbors, several blocks away, to investigate or call the police. Even if they come sooner he knows that Julie's DNA and prints won't be in the system. He'll have Travony monitor the crime scene tech and if they lift any prints that don't belong to the three dead men or Judy's family he'll have them erased from the file.

Julie shakes her head but there is a smirk on her lips while she does so.

"I'm going to be late, love. Don't wait up. Why don't you stay with Aaron tonight?" Adam tells her after they leave the house.

"Okay. I could come with you to the club and help you with Judy." Julie says as they get ready to return home. "I really liked Liam."

"I know, but if she sees you she'll run. There are too many humans at the club, I can't play with her properly there if she does."

Julie shakes her head. "You and your toys. Taylor takes after you that's for sure." Taylor is Jessica's twin brother and he's two minutes younger than Jessica. Jessica is the oldest of the children and crown princess as far as the vampires are concerned.

Adam and the others scoff at her words. Adam watches as Aaron and the others take Julie home before he leaves and heads towards the city and his club. It isn't the way he'd planned to relax, but this is even better.

Julie once said that it's okay to be bad sometimes and right now his bad side really wants to come out and play. It's a little upset that Julie had all the fun earlier, even though he's proud of her dealing with things by herself.
