Part 20 (2/2)
Oh s.h.i.+t.
”We can't kill them, Mika will find out, then he will kill all of us.” Denny said franticly shaking his head.
Finally something good comes out of Denny's mouth and this was as good a time as any. No way was I killing for Vinnie and Denny was right Mika would kill us it touched one of his.
”Then you'd better do a good job and make sure you have no witnesses. You can do this Denny; you're my son it's in your blood.” Oh f.u.c.k he was pulling the dad card. ”I sometimes question if you have what it takes to be in this business, prove it to me son, show me you have what it takes, make me proud.”
”Denny you can't believe that bulls.h.i.+t?”
”Bulls.h.i.+t it is not Jonah. When I look at you I can see it in your eyes you have what it takes, always have. If it wasn't Denny looking so much like me I would question if he really was my son.”
”Don't do this Vinnie.” I warned.
”What's your answer Denny will you do this for me son?”
”Denny don't.” I hissed moving between him and Vinnie.
”Shut up Jonah. I'll do it.”
No.
”Very good,” Vinnie clapped, ”Get it done boys.”
Shaking my head at Denny, I turned to Vinnie, ”I'm not doing this Vinnie.” I said in a voice that was as cold as my body felt.
”Would you really leave your brother hanging? But know this Jonah if you don't help him Olivia will pay for it.”
”You stay the f.u.c.k away from her!”
”Goodbye Jonah, say h.e.l.lo to Olivia for me.” Vinnie said smile as he walked to the door.
I stared after Vinnie waiting till the club door shut before I turned my anger on Denny. ”You can't be serious about taking this. .h.i.t Denny?”
”I'm very serious he basically just called me a coward Jonah.” Denny hissed, the hurt clear on his face.
f.u.c.king Vinnie.
”Who gives a d.a.m.n it means nothing coming from the biggest coward on this earth.”
Letting his shoulders fall Denny shook his head turning towards the offices, ”I always figured he liked you more. Even with you causing trouble you're still his golden boy.”
”Are you f.u.c.king kidding me? Vinnie hates me he's just using me to get you to do his dirty work.” I yelled at his back. Taking a deep breath I lowered my voice, ”Denny we can't do this. Killing someone there's no coming back from that not to mention Mika will find out and he will kill us.”
Turning around Denny locked his eyes with mine, ”Your answer is no?”
”Yeah” I said, ”And yours should be no too.”
Chapter 21.
Getting dressed to leave and hopefully be back before Mason got home from work I found it very hard to feel guilty, technically Jonah and I never finished our agreement, and as I didn't finish there was no agreement. Therefore I was not doing anything wrong by leaving the house.
Jonah had already checked in for the evening and Mason had called to tell me he was going to have to work late. I'd told both of them I was going to take a nap so not to wake me, hopefully that would keep them from calling for the next couple hours.
Miss Daisy pouted at my feet, not happy that I was leaving her again so soon. ”If you had all your shots baby girl I would take you with me.” I whispered to the dog rubbing her head.
Zipping up my last boot I stood up way too fast causing a wave of dizziness to sweep over me. Stumbling I grabbed on to the bed for support before I face planted into the floor. My head was killing me tonight, quite a bit more than last night. And my anger over the whole thing wasn't helping at all. The fear of being attacked was gone now that I was back with Jonah, in it's place was the anger and honestly I was p.i.s.sed way the eff off. Who just attacked someone like that? If I ever saw tattoo face again he was going to get a punch in the face. The punch would probably break my hand but it would so be worth it.
Opening my eyes to a room that thankfully wasn't spinning I checked the time, the text had been sent an hour ago I hadn't received a text back, but then I didn't expect to. Now it was time to go meet with what could be the greatest idea I'd ever had, or the worst.
Walking down the stairs and into the kitchen with Miss Daisy right on my heels I grabbed Jonah's car keys praying he would forgive me for driving his pride and joy GT mustang. I was a good driver it would be fine.
Rain had started to fall so I opened my umbrella as I opened the front door. As I stepped out of the door hands immediately grabbed onto my shoulders pus.h.i.+ng me back into the house. At first I didn't scream because I figured one of my boys had caught me. But the long streak of blonde hair hanging over the man's shoulder had me doing just about anything to get away; I would not be taken by anyone ever again. I lashed out punching the guy in the mouth; making my hand feel like I'd just punched a hard wall not a face while Miss Daisy did her part attacking the guy's leg.
I was about to hit the now growling guy again when another set of hands grabbed my fist. ”You know last night I thought you were just in the wrong places at the wrong time now I'm starting to think you have a death wish.” Shark spoke quietly, laughter dancing in his sea colored eyes.
”Why are you here and not at the meeting place?” I asked taking a deep breath trying to get my heart back on a healthier rhythm.
”When someone text's my personal phone from a number I do not know, asking me to meet somewhere I get a little curious.”
Pulling my fist free of his hand I stepped back putting my hand over my forehead, nothing like making my head hurt more and now my hand was hurting tooaawesome.
”n.o.body said anything about getting punched in the face or ate by a tiny dog Shark.” Longhaired friend hissed not breathing hard like me.
Remembering Miss Daisy was in fact still attacking his leg I pulled the dog off him and nodded for him to move into the house so I could shut the door. ”Fine you got curious and tracked me down did you have to scare the living s.h.i.+t out of me?” I spat slamming the front door, not doing myself any favors, freaking Shark I knew this was a bad idea.
”Yes, because maybe next time you won't be so stupid to call on a person like me.” Shark smiled showing off pearly white teeth against his tanned skin.
”You're not a drug lord.” I whispered stepping back until my back was against the door.
”No china doll I'm not, but that doesn't mean I'm not just as bad or even worse.”
s.h.i.+t what had I done?
Whatever I'd done it I had to go for it, it was too late to turn back now. Plus if he was going to kill me wouldn't he have already done it?
Taking a deep breath I steadied myself so my voice wouldn't give away my fear. ”I need your help.” For some reason what I said was funny as both Shark and his longhaired friend started to laugh. ”I don't remember saying anything that was funny.” I snapped stomping my foot on the floor which caused Shark to laugh harder.
Fuming I pushed past Shark stomping into the kitchen slamming Jonah's keys on to the counter. This was not going to plan.
”I'm sorry.” Shark said following me into the kitchen still laughing.
Putting Miss Daisy down she took up a protective stance in front of me bearing her little sharp teeth. If only she was bigger I would have had her eat them already.
