Nova's POV I bring out my Glock 17 together with the suppressor from under the vanity and disassemble it before cleaning, I reassemble and reload the gun with a magazine of 19 9mm ammunition before returning it to its hiding place. I go to the mini bookshelf and run my hand through the books, all of them are our favourite classics, tattered and frayed by years of reading. I end up picking one of my all time favourites, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë before making my self comfortable on the armchair. I've barely gone through the first chapter when the door opens and Liz's curious face pops in through the door, “hey” she says, I give her a two finger wave and continue to stare at her. Her head disappears and a few seconds pass before I hear her voice calling out to the rest, “put down that guitar dude, you can't even tune it let alone play it, and you all should get your ass out here, she's in the other room” they must be in the music room, it's two doors down from our room and I'm s

I push open the door with my backside, turning around to face my already seated friends while kicking the door close. I dump all the snacks and canned soda on to a wide glass table that I had installed in the middle of the room and said “go crazy guys” I grab a cheese ball pack and an apple juice box that I brought for my self before sitting yoga style on one of the couches in the room. They all took the snacks of their choice and cans of soda before resuming their positions on the different couches, I see Kayden and Catherine acting all lovely dovey and I shudder. They were all talking and joking with each other with the exception of Kayden and Cathrine who look like they are on their own world and Adrain whose on his phone probably texting Bryan one of Adrain and I's friend or some poor girl who he wants in his bed. I buried my body deeper into the couch with my legs still folded and focused on my snack, I finished the pack and juice box so I took another one and settled back in and

I open the door and the chattering stops as they all looks at me, “where'd you go?“ Dee says with concern and I give her a smile, “I'm sorry for rushing out I just had to get this” I say swinging the bottle. Adrain stands up and snatches the bottle and glass and I whine trying to get it back but he raises his hand making me pout because I know that I'll never get it unless he lowers his hand. “Come on Ad, I just need one glass” “no, you're getting addicted to this poison and it's not good” “I need it to be able to cope with “The Witch” and her bitchy comments, please Ad” I whisper and he sighs in defeat, “okay, two glasses and no more than that, promise” “scouts honour” I say putting my hand in my chest like a child and he smiles. I grab the bottle and glass from him and head to the piano before pouring myself a full glass, finish it and pour another full glass before giving Adrain the bottle. Drinking half the glass I wring my hands and crack my knuckles getting ready to immense my

I sigh for what seems like the hundredth time as I find nothing to help, I look at the files now scattered around me like flower petals though a lot more annoying since I haven't even started trying to find the connection between Kayden, Jayden, Dan and the people who hired the hit on them. I also don't know that person so I have a lot on my plate right now and yet i am stuck trying to get out of this stupid contract we where tricked into. I swear on my life when I catch whoever did this I would waste no time shoving my knife deep into their gut before asking questions. My phone rings out and I pick up my phone that's beside me, hope flaring in me as I read the contact name. “Hey Rizz, did you find anything good” I say rushedly but I'm met with silence making me frown and as about to speak again I hear his sarcasm filled voice “Hey to you too and I've been doing fine thanks for asking” I sigh and smile “I'm sorry Rizzo, I just find myself so anxious these days. I don't know when t
