Don't even take my things. Not my laptop. Nothing. I wanted to get out so badly that I didn't think I was leaving important things behind. I just knew I had to get away fast before Hunter caught me. Just as I opened the door, a wall came in, crashing into me and throwing me backward. I landed on my ass with a groan. That had hurt. I must have broken my sacrum. I leaned on my hands and got up like a small child.
Who else would it be? The idiot was watching me from the door with a grimace much like a smirk on his face. I hated it. Every second that passed I swear I hated him a little more. His eyes seemed n sizzle with excitement insulting enough for me: Fun. I swear I was going to kill that kid. Sooner or later he was going to kill him sleeping.
- Where are you going, cutie?- He raised an eyebrow style: There is no excuse that will be valid, but I want to see you say nonsense yes.
-Far from you crazy killers. - I kicked in the crotch l style angels of Charlie and I left feeling like a winner.
But was he so childish? Yes, the truth is yes. Things like that were my little victories in life. As soon as I got out, I started running, because although I had temporarily incapacitated G, Hunter was still able to catch me and very easily, because my dwarf legs could not match his, which with one step of his covered at least 3 of mine.
I ran up the stairs, trying not to fall and roll and be crippled for life. I kept one hand on the banister to have something to hold onto. I could hear voices behind me and footsteps. Shit. Shit and shit. When I reached the front door, I sped off without looking back. That was the rookie mistake in the movies. I ran like I never had. I didn't even run like that in high school. If I had done it instead of having a poor 7 in physical education, I would have had a brilliant 10. It was too late to regret it because at that moment all that mattered was running away from psychopaths.
I walked the weirdest streets I ever saw and got into the crowd. In a mall, I stopped running. I was too tired. I sat on a bench and realized that I had nothing. Not my apartment keys, not my laptop, not money ... Nothing. I was screwed. He had nowhere to go or how to go. I thought about going to Rob's house who would welcome me with open arms, but I didn't want to get him into this whole shit thing. The same I thought of my friends. And now that? I was hungry, sleepy, and afraid and I was alone. My life sucked.
A girl stood in front of me. She was blonde and very pretty. She was looking at me strangely as if I didn't fit there. He frowned and sat next to me. R aro, I sang in my head. I stood still looking at the ground, uncomfortable with the situation because I knew something was not right. That girl seemed to recognize me and was about my age. Was he in high school with me? Or at school? As much as he tried to remember, he could not place her anywhere. That wasn't strange either. My ability to recognize faces was almost nil, except for the Hollywood stars that were burned into my memory. My friends told me that it couldn't be. I had to empty the memory of my knowledge about celebrities to have new ones. I think I never paid too much attention to them and that's why things like that happened to me. He didn't know who she was.
- What are you doing here?- A sharp voice pulled me out of my stool. What...? - You're Samantha, right? - It was the blonde. He was looking at me.
- Yes, I am and you are ...- I bit my lip thinking. I had no idea who it could be. She gave the hit as president of the institute's social events. It sure was the popular one. Those things had never mattered to me and I never knew their names. It was one of them.
-I'm Camille, Cami for everyone.- Name Barbie, how strange.- We don't know each other, but you have a relationship with the part of my family, G, and Hunter. I know you have fled. They have raised the alarm and they have passed your photo. I come to take you to the Boss- I shook my head- I don't want this to be more difficult than it already is. I understand that this is great shit and that for your writing career it is even worse, but I need you to come back to us. They're going to kill you, Samantha.- His blue eyes seemed sincere. She was the best actress in the whole mafia, that's for sure.- You're in the spotlight and we just want to protect you while we get to another peace. We are not the bad guys. We are not going to kill you. We will protect you and then let you go. It is done. It is temporary- she smiled a little more when he saw my face begin to relax.-You don't have to get close to G or Hunter again. I will be the one in charge of protecting you. I know I look weaker, but I promise you it's just appearances- She winked at me- Friends?
I shook his hand with a sigh. Did I have any other option? The positive part is that now it was Cami who defended me and it meant that I would not have to put up with G and his spontaneous attacks of idiots. Thank god. The negative part, he was still under the influence of the mafia. You can't have everything in this life, right?
And my mother had already told me as a girl: Men with tattoos are dangerous, honey. Better buy yourself a cat. Too bad I had the cat and the tattoos in my life. One would only have been more comfortable.
-Please!-Not.-Please!.-Not.-Come on mom. Please.-I have said no.-You're boring.-YesSamantha frowns at the two dwarfs who shoot her hateful glances.-I do not care. You can look at me however you want.-Papa would let us go.-Yes.-Well, it's too bad that dad isn't there -announces she looking out the window with concern.-It's just a little snow- says her eldest five-year-old son, pulling her out of the window. She is not going to happen anything. Stop worrying and let us come out and play.Sam looks at him annoyed. The damn brat could read her like an open book, just like her father.-Now he is falling very hard. In a little while, when it stops snowing.-When it stops snowing the snow will disappear! The boy growls.-Bored- the girl shouts again.-Yes. A horrible and hateful boring –Sam answers, taking the little over a two-year-old girl in he
9 hours and she still hadn't finished her work. Sam sighed cleaning her desk as she looked at the clock on the opposite wall. She was trapped in the room. Why did she have to cover for her brother? She frowned and snorted. She now herself she could she be outside with the rest of the people celebrating.What were they celebrating again?- It's quiet tonight, isn't it?- Sandra asked as she opened the door.- I don't know, I'm not even meant to be here right now, but I said I'd cover for it after he did me a favor last night.- What a mistake, why didn't you take any of the other shifts he has?- I couldn't, he doesn't have any convenient shift and so I can't write- she sighed, frowning at the clock again, she should have fun tonight.- Is everyone out tonight?- So it seems- she pouted and dropped the manuscript he was holding.- Do you want a neck massage?- Ple
-Get off you heavy- I pushed his shoulder, but he didn't move his head from the crook of my neck. I was trying to read the laptop screen that I greedily kept covered as much as possible with my hands, which isn't much. -I want to see what blasphemies you are putting on me- He answered and caught my hands in his. I made the feint to fight, but I knew it was impossible, he always got what he wanted, especially if it was from me- Let's see ...- He began to read and I amused myself looking at his gestures. He knew from each of them what he was reading. I knew him too well- You are an exaggeration!- He widened his eyes - That was not what happened. –He protested. He always had a complaint between his lips. -Tell me. Tell me what I have written that is a lie. All that happened and you know it- I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms under my chest, leaning back against my desk chair. My supposedly scary attitude only made him smile in amusement. -Many things are tru
I don't know what I expected to find when I got to that party. Something more hidden, I suppose, but not in my stupidest dreams did I expect a giant hotel with a red carpet to be the hangout for the bad guys in the mob. It was not logical. They were in the crosshairs of the police. If something was clear to him, it was that they liked to live on the edge, letting themselves be seen but being untouchable by nothing or anyone. It was part of the adrenaline of work, the one that seemed to like so much to all the men of that world. I got out of that overly ostentatious limo on Derek's arm. There was nothing that disgusted me more at the time. I'd rather have dated Kyle, but unfortunately, he wasn't my date tonight. I wish it had been. He had to be content with watching our backs as we walked towards the entrance. Although I had to keep a bright smile, I could barely force myself to stretch the muscles around my lips. That gesture bothered me. It was a fucking lie. He couldn't pr
I yawned and tried to get out of my room without making a noise. Kyle had expressly asked me to go to the gym without anyone noticing. Derek had something planned for both of them and no one could find out. I figured Johnny was one of the reasons. He was a little more protective of me lately. We had started to be "something". None of them had raised the subject for conversation, but we knew that we had started some kind of relationship, the problem was that it was not clear what he wanted. I changed into my black leggings and a long gray sweatshirt. He didn't know why it was so cold in the Den at night. They used to keep my room at a more or less stable temperature, but it was going out into the hall and feeling the cold digging like knives into your skin. It seemed that he had reached the Arctic Circle. I looked to the right and left. I saw no one. Maybe they were, but the lack of light didn't help me to see if someone was following my steps. My march was light and fast. He
-Take a deep breath and speak like a normal human being, Sam- He instructed me from his bed, without removing the brown book he always read. It had to be the never-ending story because I'd swear I never changed books.-Derek follows me. They have me under surveillance. –I whispered in case the aforementioned was in the vicinity listening. I couldn't risk him finding out that I knew.-Derek? I don't believe it- He didn't even deign to look at me.And the worst thing was that I considered him my best friend in the hole he was in.–Well, don't believe me. I am telling you the truth- I crossed my arms angrily. Why was it so hard to believe me? He wasn't going to lie to her about something like that. It would not benefit me to invent it. I was being an unbeliever.-So, according to you, Derek wants to kill you and that's why he follows you everywhere, to catch you when you least expect them and annihilate you. That would mean that you are hi
After all the paraphernalia put out for the mission, the atmosphere seemed dull. Each person was depressed from lack of action. The only one who was relieved that it was over was me. Johnny disappeared as soon as we got to "The lair", as he had ended up calling the place where they held me semi-prisoner. Mike went back to his chaperone-counselor-shoulder position to cry on. I spent a bit of it. I didn't trust him too much after his false promise that he would protect me when they gave me a nice beating later. He wasn't very trustworthy. He took my silences as spaces that he had to fill with his insubstantial monologues that to me, personally speaking, could not matter less. It was a continuous stream of words that flowed in and out of my ears without even being registered by my brain. - ... Then Kyle started laughing while Paul scooped up all the beer he had spilled when they made a touchdown. It was fun to see him on his knees with a napkin trying to dry the floor. When he
The best started when our "mission" ended if you could call that. I hadn't done anything except get in trouble, but nobody knew that last, nor was anyone going to know. How could I explain to anyone that I already knew Hunter from before and not connect with his mob? And they had marked me as innocent and I was not going to discover myself. It was better than this episode was forgotten. If she started thinking about Hunter, she would end up returning to the topic she was trying to avoid anyway.Johnny seemed to have completely forgotten that another man had been with me. He was busy enough watching the islets of the slot machines move. I was almost hypnotized. He defended himself saying that the money was given to him by the mafia and that we could do whatever we wanted with it. As long as it was free, he didn't care at all. He was a man with a physique and personality that reminded me so much of G. Why couldn't I get it out of my head without any remorse? Many women dated me
-Kyle?- I muttered yawning. -What are you doing here?-I was looking for you. He didn't take his eyes off the screen- I imagined you were nervous and wanted to calm you down a bit.Didn't Kyle have a heart of stone?-I could not sleep- I got up and sat next to him, stretching my arms.–It happened to me at the time too and I felt like you. I figured it would reassure you to talk to someone and that someone had to be me.-Thanks. –I couldn't help it and I ended up hugging him.In the end, it was going to turn out not to be so bad.I ended up resting my head on his shoulder and falling asleep again, feeling a little better and more sure of myself. If I had gotten Kyle to behave like an ordinary human being, I could do anything, including surviving my first day on the job.And day zero arrived, as it was called in the corridors. The day the "new" was rel
