"What are you doing up this late ? " I quickly turned to see Seth, his hair was the hot kind of messy, he dug his hands down his pockets."Can't sleep.." I stated. His brows furrowed, a glimpse of concern shimmer in his eyes."You still have Insomnia? " he asks."No I just don't feel like sleeping it's different I'll get tired soon." I replied he looked away, I did the same and slouched back on the couch.The atmosphere was awkward, I could feel a burning stare on the back of my head I'm sure they belong to him. It's being a week now after the night stone scenario.I guessed it was him that got it for me, it couldn't be Erwin I asked if he did the only reply he gave me was Seth woke him up just to get me the stones.I never really thanked him and he wasn't bothered he still acted the same, cold, aggressive, rude and intimidating but I know I changed somehow or I changed my mindset of him.I heard a lighter spark, I looked over to see Seth with a cigar plugged in between his lips, the
...QUINN...'You don't have to do this.' Darren's voice sang loud and clear in my head, I shake my head trying to think about something else other than our conversation.I sat down at the passenger seat with my mask up and capped too. Haven was on the wheels, he kept checking up on me with the rearview mirror."Should we make a stop? " he asks I shake my head thinking why the hell did I accept this mission in the first place. Oh yeah I remember, Seth was being a dick and I let my anger get the best of me.'What the fuck is wrong with you?' my thoughts chorused in my head, I shrink back into my seat taking deep breaths, Haven made a stop at a gas station."Let's get something for the road before we get to Maria's." he insisted I just nodded stuck to my seat with no intention of getting down, a young man who was on his own with his headphones passed my window, I pushed my cap down the more having my head bent down, I sneaked a peak of him he was wearing a blue flannel shirt and jeans, a
My body slouched back and forth while Haven drove until we got to Maria's. The mission was actually in New York but we had to stop at Denver so Maria could give me a make over so I won't be recognizable at the mean time.Haven sat down at the living room while Maria blabbed about how she could tweak up my looks, I was scared she spoke to me like I'm some project."Maybe we should get your eye brows shaved or better yet waxed." I quickly got up."You know what I change my mind I don't want to do this anymore." I face palmed myself, she stared at me giving me the chills."But the guys...""I don't care what the guys think, it's just a mission not a beauty pageant I'm not getting my brows waxed for something I could probably die of. I'm not even sure if I made the right choice putting everything at risk and volunteering." I tried holding back my tears the pressure was already eating me up, I have to pull a fake character and not mess up like the last one at the underground club."Okay le
•••QUINN•••After the makeover Maria gave me some tips on how to maintain my hair and also gave me some clothes she went out on her way to buy.It was time to go to New York so we were saying our final goodbye."Be careful okay, I know you will do well at the mission." she hugged me and then pulled away to face Haven."Tell the gang I said hey." she said to Haven."I will, take care of yourself okay.." Haven pushed a strand of her hair back, she startled a bit but suddenly kept it cool and just giggled uncontrollably, she looses her stare off Haven and landed them on me. "And Quinn I got something for you." she quickly went back in and brought back a silver plastic bag she handed it over to me."Thank you." that was my only reply I took out a tiny black box from the bag. "You didn't have to get me jewelry Maria I already have my necklace." I said showing it to her."It's no jewelry." she instantly replied, I dropped the paper bag and opened the box to see a pair of contacts. "Contacts
"What happened?? ""I shot a man, that was the first time I picked a gun and killed somebody I didn't want to and still don't know how, the last thing I remember was running away from the scene until I met Colette, I was hiding behind a dumpster and she happened to come by me and fed me I was so traumatized from the event it took her a while to get me to talk and somehow I fell for her, I wish I didn't maybe I could still see her smile." he said and I stopped on my tracks."What happened to her? ""She died getting during an abortion, she got pregnant during a night stand with her boss the bastard suggested she aborted the child or he'll fire her because of that I lost her... " he said the last part furiously clenching his fist tightly."I'm sorry about what happened to her." I said, he turned to look at me. "You kind of remind me of her." after that all I could hear was the beating of my heart and Havens icy stare on me, a smile worked up his lips. "We are almost there." he said resu
•••QUINN•••I pushed a strand of my hair back and wore a small smile directed at Darren, Erwin who was chewing down on bacon dropped it and even almost choked on it. Seth on the other hand stared at me for a couple of seconds, I pretended I didn't notice him and Erwin and stared at Darren's direction who was the only one displaying his honest reaction."Your eyes..." Erwin slipped out a chuckle in a deep husky tone, he didn't smile after that he just stared at me caging his palm on his face."They are contacts, how do I look ? " Darren sneers a bit at me."You look like Dory from that finding dory crap." Erwin says wearing an irritating snarl that annoyed the shit out of me, he had his head bent after that. "You look amazing Quinn, Maria did a great job." Darren comment my cheeks burn red a bit.Erwin gets up and says. "I'm going out to smoke." he shuts the door behind him before anyone could reply him leaving me with Seth and the rest."What do you think Seth? " Darren questions whil
•••SETH•••She looks so fragile but yet she unintentionally tries bruise me.I palmed my forehead trying to recover from the hit, I glared at her which probably scared her she stepped back looking at me in terror, they were not the same look she had when she gave me a black eye, that time she was really scared for some reason I probably triggered something that made her act that way."Where are you going Dory? " Erwin smirk holding on to her. "Let me go." she yelled trying all her might to escape.I heaved a deep breath watching her trying to get away from Erwin, if they kept this up I'm going to get more than a hit."Erwin let her go.." I ordered, Erwin stared at me with his signature smirk, I glared at him confirming I wasn't playing his games.He stared at Quinn and then back at me, then a mischievous smirk worked up his lips. "You don't always have to hide my hickeys." he said letting go of her but his hand trailed up to the side of her neck, she pushed him away confused. "You didn
•••QUINN•••I sat down quietly at the passenger seat next to Haven, he was dropping me in front of Diego's house since he changed the location of the interview to his house, the guys didn't like the idea not only because they couldn't keep an eye on me, they also wanted me to get close to his office and fish out some files.At this point my heart was pounding so loud from the fear I was going to be alone that I could hear it. "You shouldn't be nervous." Haven advise.It's easy for him to say he's not a woman who risked her life just to get enough information from him. "How many minutes left..." I said dreading the as the minutes pass by."Ten.." I didn't expect it to be that close."How did the carnival go? " Haven asks. "Fine except I hit Seth with a ball thanks to Erwin." I hissed under my breath. "You had fun Ehh.""Maybe, that was after Erwin left, me and Seth played one last game, he helped me win." I added. "Win?? What did you guys win? ""A snow globe...""I guess I have to ste
•••SETH•••I traced Nolan to where he was hiding, finally we were in the same room as my men raid his hideout. "Let's end this story shall we? " i said pointing my gun at him, he turned and smile. "So this is it, I'm painted as the bad guy when i basically tried to avenge your father.." he said. "I didn't ask you did i? " i questioned. "Huntress killed your father, I'm not your enemy." Nolan said. "You paid a hitman to kill Huntress after your father died since your father died in the war you always hated Huntress so you killed your own family to take over the Mafia, you're just a bitter soul." i said. "Have the Prestons gone soft, a Preston would avenge their kind.. ""That was forty years ago basically your age, the wars we brought is over, my father ran the Mafia his way i kill to get what i want and protect those who are family...""It's a shame Erwin isn't here to see you he would have enjoyed smashing your skull.." i said firing five bullets until he died on the spot. •••QU
The moment i got to New York, the so called secret hideout was some kind of abandoned factory, i met with Manfred we both pulled each other into a hug until i saw, Haven and Mandy as well. "What are you guys doing here? " i asked "I'm here to make sure you keep to your promise and also Shane could be here i don't want him to be killed along with his pathetic brother.." Mandy said. "Darren is with Maria, i came because i couldn't let you have all the fun.." Haven said as i looked for Seth. "Seth got caught up in something." Haven explain having noticed, i nodded. "What's happening? " I asked "It's like the Cunningham's knew we were here, we thought they were hiding you in here we were planning on attacking but they took down our men, i called Erica to inform her but then i heard your voice but i already sent a few men to bomb from the inside, i can't reach them and tell them to abort.." Manfred said. "Erica was working with them, don't abort, they are holding Erwin when the bomb
•••QUINN•••Me, Mandy and Seth got checked into one of the hotel Maria was in with Darren and Haven, i practically barge in to see Maria covered with a blanket she pushes her head up to see me she wore a sad smile, i went to hug her she didn't react other than hug me tightly. "They took Erwin.." Maria whispered."How's that even possible? " Seth question calmly. "I don't know it all happened so fast." Maria whined. "Why did they take Erwin and leave you behind? " Seth asked. "I don't know I'm lost as you, the first thing i was with Erwin and some brunette haired girl said walked up to me saying she can't find her grandma, the next thing she drags me even when i told her to fuck off and the next thing in know a bullet was fired and the last person i saw was Erwin, then i passed out and before i blacked out he glared at the girl yelled, you... " My heart stopped for a second and continue pounding, the girl in the description sounds familiar. "The next thing i wake up half unconscious t
•••MANDY•••I packed everything i needed, i even went ahead to snatching cash from Terry's room i quickly put everything into my bag, i wasn't going to stay here any longer while they plan to kill Quinn. I finished packing zipping up my backpack, I'm so happy Terry didn't chain me to my bed anymore I've done more than enough to gain his trust and fooling him that he can have his way with me, if possible I'll shoot the bastard but I've been waiting for this day. I sling the back pack over my shoulder going through the map i photoshopped in my mind i heaved a deep breath a little bit concerned everything, i pull out my gun and massaging my bullets in. "Here goes nothing.." i hissed quietly creaking the door open looking for any obstacle, the coast looked clear, i broke out and took to my heels, i heard footsteps getting louder and shot anyone that seemed like a threat, i shot about three guards so far and took one of their guns, i was relieved i made it this far until i saw Terry. "
•••QUINN•••I wore a baseball cap and a nose mask obviously while helping Maria at the cafe there were not that much people only four, three girls and a man who just ordered only plain coffee, i went up to Maria who was reading some kind of magazine. "I'm done delivering orders..." i said itching my neck since i settle for a turtle neck to hide Seth's hickey, the door leading to the garage revealed Erwin who was clad in black, he wore a black nose mask, his eyes looked souless and unexcited as he trail down to our direction, i heard a few mummurs from the girls who were eyeing Erwin, i scoff uninterested elbowing the counter."Hey Erwin, you've got admirers.." Maria tease pointing the teenage girls. "Not interested." Erwin snarled immediately, pinning his elbow too on the counter, recently he's been acting weird or should i say quiet i would love to ask but i don't see that happening without him gloating, he doesn't need my pity."Maybe one of them can help you get over.. ""Shut up.
A few days later i did Movie night with Maria, Haven and Erwin, Darren said he was busy but promised to take out time to hang out with me especially and Seth, he didn't want to come.I was heading back to my room exhausted, i only agreed to do the movie night because i thought I'll be exhausted in the end, well i thought wrong.I paced down the corridor quietly strolling down to my door, quickly i opened it it was dark at first, i switched on the light to see Seth laid on my bed, i balled my hands into fists and rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn't part of an illusion caused by my exhaustion.I turned thinking of exiting the room the moment i grabbed the door knob he mutters. "Turn around.." i heard him scoff humourifically, i turned pissed he found the current situation amusing."What are you doing in my bed? " i don't know what came over me that made me to even utter that question, a smirk crawled up his lips a mischievous one, i was pissed but i didn't dare take another step."The
•••QUINN•••My eyes slowly opened, i groaned out a last hiss realising i didn't get much sleep again, my head ached a bit thinking how awful it was staying up and thanks to my insomnia i still can't get enough sleep, my eyes blinked twice recalling how i was able to sleep when Seth was around, probably the first time I've was weak and exhausted so i probably can't stay up all night but a few days passed i was able to sleep for some reason.I hissed when a ray of light found it's way to my bed room, i recalled what happened last night and terribly cringed to it, i swear Erwin is going to tease me for life, i tried pushing myself up and then hissed again feeling some kind of ache on my bare skin."Did he probably drug me during those times?" i questioned myself, i shook my head on the thought that i barely ate so the possibility of him drugging me were low, probably i was exhausted and weak from not eating my body decided to preserve my health and sleep.But of all the times i couldn't
"What is this place? " i asked, Maria tagged closely to me. "The guys bought this place a few months ago disguise as a cafe i run while they plan behind the scenes, it's a cover up so they won't get easily tracked, down here is the garage while that door leads to the cafe, when i heard you were coming today i just had to see you, your hair is amazing by the way." Maria complimented.There was another door possibly the door to the rest of the floors, again these guys are freaking rich to think of buying a building.Erwin and Seth were walking to the door until Seth stopped then turned to Maria. "Maria why don't you show Quinn the cafe..." she nodded quickly and took my hand leading me to another door probably to the cafe, she opened the door there were a few customers drinking, a few were on their phones while some were chatting.I quickly hovered my palm against my face to hide my identity, Maria noticed and quickly escort me to the back of the counter to a tiny room, there were provi
•••MOLLY•••I sat down comfortably eating my pancake, Erica and Manfred show up, Manfred looked pissed and stressed probably since they couldn't find that lousy bitch after her disastrous enthronement, it's been a week it's like she just disappeared it's a good thing because that could mean she's out of the way."How are you Molly? " Manfred asked."I'm fine..." i didn't bother to make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry about what happened to Quinn, i hope she sure dies...""What... " Manfred coughed, i looked up totally unfazed realizing the shit i just muttered. "I said i hope she survives..." I chuckled looking at Erica who rolled her eyes at my lame excuse. "Manfred we should really be going, we have work on our hands." Erica said as Manfred nodded."Molly why are you here again? " Manfred asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in school or with your grandma ? " he added."I just decided to stop by before i finally go to school, sorry for the inconvenience..." i teethed as Manfred nodded
