38 Chapter 38: You Need Me (1/2)
'I'm not the one you should be telling'
I keep reading over what he sent. Each time I scan over I feel more and more guilty.
”Come now, we haven't much time Rico.”
”I thought I told you not to call me that.”
”Oh hush, just follow me, we're almost done.”
She runs her hand up my arm.
”Don't touch me.”
I jerk away.
”Aw, you're so mean Rico, oh, I mean Ricky.”
We walk into her office and she sits on top of her desk,
”Well, are you gonna stand there or are you gonna come over here?”
'Ugh, this bitch is so desperate.'
”You know why i'm here, just hand it over so I can go the fuck home.”
She's taps her nails against the desk,
”You think i'm fucking stupid Ricky? You think I don't know what you're planning?”
”What the hell are you talking about? I'm just tryna get home.”
'Shit, what does she know?!'
She grins,
”You want me to join you, help you out, make you...”
She comes closer to me and touches my face,
”Stronger.”
”Pft, you think I want you?! I have a beautiful fiancé waiting for me at home, what the fuck makes you think that i'd ever need, let alone want you?!”
I can't help but burst out laughing at her dumb comment.
”You laugh but i'm completely honest. I will become your second hand and we will rule as one.”
She hands over the envelope and I make my way near the door,
”You try to pull some slick shit over my head again and i'll kill you myself. Don't contact me again Lucy.”
I pull my keys out of my pocket and head for the exit.

”Hey man,”
I scratch the back of my head,
”Is uh, is she upstairs?”
He pulls the cover off of him and shows Kaz napping on the couch with her legs sprawled on his lap.
”You were gone for hours Ricky. She hates being alone.”
I walk over to the couch and look at her. She seems to be sleeping so peacefully but her lip twitches a bit, like she's dreaming.
”I know, things got a little out of hand but I swear i've got it under control now. How was the job?”
He slumps back,
”She killed every single person in that place. I waited in the car for a little then headed inside to check it out but,”
He looks over at her with a strange face i've never seen him make before, was it fear?
”She's like a robot, just taking orders and killing without any guilt.”
”Hm, I know but it can't be helped, that's just how she is. Did she eat?”
He shakes his head,
”She said she didn't have an appetite so we came straight home.”
”Damn, she's probably pissed.”
”Yup, probably.”
He finally looks at me,
”You're an asshole Ricky, and I think you already knew that.”
I sigh,
”Yeah, I knew that already...”
Kaz slowly sits up and looks at me,
”Oh, you're back.”
She looks at me with such a weird face.
”You uh, you wanna go upstairs and talk?”
She looks over at Carlos. They make expressions at each other,
”Are you two having a face conversation?”
