After everyone goes to bed Maureen and Moll meet in the attic. They lay a circle with salt stone and clear quartz. Holding hands inside the circle they stand directly above Cody"s room. Praying over her they bind her from doing any harm. They meditate for a few more minutes then head to bed. They will watch to see if Cody continues to try to bother Astila and Aisling. If so then they will do a banishing jealousy spell. Hopefully Astila can get rid of her if she looks like she will cause problems. The next morning is Sunday and everyone heads to church except Cody. While everyone is away she rummages through the house . She is hopeful she will find something that she can use to her advantage. Not knowing that the house has a spell on it. A very old one , one that protects all secrets of its inhabitants. She starts in the commanders room hopefully she can find something to black mail him with to back off her. She knows he doesn"t like her and has never made any secret about it. The moment she steps into his room his phone vibrates. He looks at it and turns the cameras in the house on. Looking up and thanking G.o.d for the system the sheriff had installed. The sheriff may be a bungling idiot but he did do one good thing. Not finding anything she goes to the next room . Taking each room at a time she finds nothing. In all of her years of training she knows that they must have something they wish to hide. Sighing in frustration she goes down to get something to eat. Looking around the kitchen she gets out some eggs and sausage to fry. Steve nods to signal Astila. He smirks and texts Yona to let him know there is a curious mouse in the house. Yona looks at his brother across the pew and grins like a fool. Sending Jonathan a text that Cody is rifling through the house and they have her on camera to meet them with the cops when church is over. The plan is to embarra.s.s her to death so she will leave. That way no one has to deal with her.
John notices their foolishness from the pulpit and frowns at them. Wait till service is over he plans to have a chat with them. As the choir sings the last hymn of the day John starts to walk to the back of the church to wish each person a good day. When his brother comes to shake his hand . He squeezed it a little too hard. Looking at him he knows they are caught.
"look it"s not what you think. The woman that arrived last night is nothing but trouble. So I set a few alarms in case she did something she shouldn"t. They went off during your sermon ,so we were texting to let each other know so we could do something about it. So you going to come with us for a little show?" He chides his brother knowing he can"t resist a good prank . John looks at the a.s.sistant Paster and tells him to let his wife know he is leaving with his brother . They all head back to the house and out of the women only HeJin knows what"s going on.
by the time they arrive Jonathan is already there he has a few of his agents with him. Trying to make sure it sounds completely official he addressed Steve by his military t.i.tle.
"Lieutenant Colonel the security office had a silent alarm go off and because of the investigation we are in the middle of we responded." They make their way strategically into the house with guns raised while everyone else stays outside. They hear Cody yelp in surprise and arguing as she is handcuffed and taken outside.
"What is the meaning of this I am a guest here. Jonathan you know this you were here last night. " her cheeks are red from anger or cold who can tell with the skimpy clothes she has on.
" if you are a guest than let"s look at the security footage." They pull out Jonathan"s computer and Steve logs into the account. Bringing up the recordings for while they were in church. They watch her meticulously go through every room including the nursery. Aisling is livid that anyone would dare to go through her house like that. Especially since they have some very valuable things . She walks over to her glaring at her. Cody for the first time feels afraid looking into the storm grey eyes boring into hers.
" We invited you into our home to help a sick person!!! How Dare you go through our things! What were you looking for?!" Cody felt her blood run cold at Aisling tone.
"I was just getting to know my surroundings."
He Jin prepared for this she walks over and looks at her closely pulling at her clothes. Slipping her hand into her skimpy robe she pulls out a pair of diamond ear rings. Showing the FBI agent . Cody begins to sputter and argue that she never took anything. Moll decided that the others were having to much fun so the two of them get close and whisper a truth spell. Cody begins to spill exactly what she was doing.
"I was trying to find something I could use against the commander and Aisling so that Astila would leave. He belongs to me. I have tried for years to get his attention , and this s.l.u.t gets knocked up . If I had known that"s all it would have taken . I would have drugged you and slept with you years ago. " she looks frustrated and angry not knowing why she blurted all of that out. Jonathan looks at the family and tells them.
" With her confession we can book her on attempted black mail . Once it is reported she will be handed over to the military police for processing. Your family will need to appear in court to testify against her." Aisling looks at her and asks her .
"you have a choice you can leave today with these gentlemen. If you do then you go to jail , or you can apologize and leave my home and never bother my husband or uncle again. If you apologize I won"t press charges. So what is it going to be. Just know if you take the second option if you ever speak to them again you will go to jail immediately. Those are my terms." Looking at her letting her know that she is not playing around. Cody asks Jonathan if he will uncuff her. That she will leave. Looking at Steve she stand at attention and salutes him asking for permission to be dismissed. When she goes inside the entire family begins to laugh. Jonathan looks at them curiously and asks them a few questions.
"how did you know she would search the house? " Steve explains
"you see this woman has been caught playing dirty tricks before. Her favorite ploy is blackmail. More than one officer has been pulled in for questioning over her accusations. Some have just enough truth to get them to normally give her what she wants. When she showed up instead of the person who was meant to. I set a trap for her. I knew that she hated me and that she is in love with Astila. So I programmed the security that if anything but her room,bathroom or kitchen was bothered I would get an alert. So when I saw the first room she went into was mine I turned the cameras on to see exactly what she was doing. " one of the agents with Jonathan speaks up.
"you guys should be in the bureau. You had everything covered like pros." Yona busts out laughing . The agent looks at him puzzled
Yona proudly announces
" let me introduce you to Lieutenant Colonel Steve Wilson and Major Astila Peoples of Delta force. You can"t get any better than their unit. "
Just then Cody comes out with her case and stomps to her car. Before she gets in to her car Aisling stops her and walks over. Without a word she pulls back her fist and punches her in the face knocking her to her knees. Looking at her she tells her
"Be grateful I am not in a fighting mood because I"m pregnant . If you ever speak to my husband again or call me a nasty name I won"t be nice next time." She walks over to her husband and kisses his cheek. They all just wave at her as she leaves. Aisling invites everyone in for Sunday dinner. While the women are fixing a Korean dinner the men are in the living room swapping stories. Salali pulls Aisling to the side to make sure she is ok. Aisling nods yes but then she asks.
" I know we didn"t know each other long before all of this happened. Did he have a lot of women before me?"
Salali looks at her and giggles.
"He had a lot chasing him,but he didn"t pay them any mind. He was always very serious , and only focused on work. By the way, I called Winona last night . she will be here by the end of the week"
