•••DARREN•••"I can't pick up their signal..." I muttered under my breath frustrated it's been two days and we've lost contact with both Seth and Quinn after the mission. "This is so like Seth why are you even worried he went off grid for two months once two days is not that much of a deal." Erwin said leaning against the wall. We were still at the hotel and luckily we've been careful covering our tracks making it impossible for Shane's men to find us if they tried. "I know that but Seth always left behind a clue when he do shits like this." I muttered out loud, I was alone with Erwin we still had to stay out of sight since Shane had his men on the look out, Haven is with Maria we were able to contact a few days ago they are also hiding too until everything calmed down. "Maybe you aren't looking hard enough." Erwin suggest. "Why are you worried ? Seth can take care of himself he's gotten into worst shit before, this isn't the first and it's not going to be the last." Erwin yawned bo
•••QUIN•••It could be four in the morning I had no idea Seth just woke me up saying we had to go without argument I quickly got ready and followed him, we took a route to the subway waiting for to get tickets for the next train which is thirty five minutes from now, my glance remained in a fixed position I was scared to death someone would recognize me and would take me to the Cunningham's, earlier I saw the stitch I did for Seth it swelled a bit my heart kept beating thinking how somehow I messed up stitching that particular place and some pressure could rip it out causing him to bleed. "Quinn.." I focused my attention to the floor since my head was bent and went stiff, what if someone did recognize me and is waiting for the right time to act, I can't do anything right I can't do a simple stitch, I can't do anything right without recalling a single memory of that dickhead Terry. "Quinn.." I couldn't even protect Seth when he got shot I should have taken the bullet not him, my ha
"A flashlight? " a voice mummered. "It doesn't belong to us, that means whoever it is they're not far off." I heard a chuckle the only thing that could make this worse is if they found out we hid at the small space or they long around waiting for us to get back our flashlight, many things possibly happening cross my mind."Who would come down here this place is the last place any sane person would want to go unless they want to die? " "They could be teenagers exploring the tunnel.""How do you know it's not more than one person? " a voice asked asked his tone was dominant maybe he was somehow the leader."It's just a hunch I guess.. " this one sounded at ease and doesn't seemed to be bother that much with anything. "Too bad we have to kill them." I almost choked on my silava. "Can't we just play with them a bit longer before we do away with them? " "You know not every human is a toy right? " "That's your own perspective, we are going to kill them anyways what's the point of not
••QUINN**He put his hand down looking behind me. "Quinn...?? " he walks up to me while I stuck on my knees he picked up the flashlight pointing at the dead plus unconscious bodies my hand was shaking I just violated a rule and killed my somebody."I killed somebody.." I whispered under my breath visibly shaking and unstable. He walks past me and heads over to Seth at first he seemed calm but when he pointed the gun at Seth he pulled a gun at him. "No...Manfred no... " I yelled getting his attention. "Quinn stay back he needs to die..." I crwaled up to Seth with my eyes red with. "No, he didn't do anything wrong." I whispered. "He was defending himself even when he was in pain there's nothing wrong there you can't kill him." I yelled. "That's not the reason he deserves to die, do you know what this man has done if I don't kill him now he's going to cause more chaos.." "I don't care he hasn't done anything wrong he's not a good person or a bad person either he did whatever he had t
•••MANDY•••I was packing my stuff already my sister was already at the door with tears in her eyes she ran up to me holding on to my jean I was about to put in my bag. "Mandy I'm begging you don't go you promised dad you wouldn't get into shits again, you promise mom you promised me." she sobbed. "Last time I was a kid and I was having fun this time I'm serious I promise I won't get involved in shits again." "If you get in, how can you assure you would be able to get out? you almost died last time that was the reason you broke up with him, it's the same reason you decided to be a matron this is a stupid decision." she yelled. "Quinn is missing and it's all my fault, instead of finding her I'm working with idiots who don't give a damn about her, I'm working with hypocrites while my best friend is out there facing hell knows what, it was my duty to protect her Keila, it was my duty to shield her from everything I was the reason because I wanted to be happy and I couldn't protect her
QUINN'S POV"Everything gone...." Haven mummered outloud I breathe roughly with my head bent down. "It's all my fault... " I said in remorse out loud I didn't bother to look up, they couldn't argue with that I shouldn't have contacted the guys but Seth could have died and for some reason I didn't want to loose him. We were all in some old hotel for the time being serving as shelter while the guys thought of what next. "It is your fault... " Erwin muttered upset, I wasn't surprised he sounds mad and genuinely I wouldn't mind if he was, I should have listened to Seth and done something like drag him out and someone stitch his wounds or help him shoot instead of running away leaving him to sustain much wound, I couldn't do anything except for kill that man and honestly I've never shot anyone or even was promoted to the position to shoot someone except for that day. Honestly I didn't feel bad or disgusted with myself somehow it felt normal, it was normal I've been pair with senior offic
•••QUINN•••"Did your hair get an inch longer? " Maria asked in awe as the salonist got me another towel and placed it in front of me.She and Maria stared at me in admiration."Why don't we add bangs? " I shook my head at Maria's suggestion, I'm not going back to that horror, I hate bangs it makes me look like a doll my mom forced me to go with the look until I was technically 18, everyone made fun of me the only person that thought I looked cute with it was Calvin and Mikey. Mikey was a french transfer student back in middle school he told me I looked cute in french when I got him to sign a petition I was working on and I never spoke to him again of course he was really cute back then and I was a dweeb. "I'm done with the dye can we go now? " I asked as the salonist pushed my head under a blowdryer, I said stayed for a few minutes with the impression of an uncomfortable oven roasting my head. The salonist took off the blow dryer applied a few bobbin pins to push a few of my hair ba
A few hours later the man was giving me instructions on how to take care of my tattoo after Seth was done, it freaking hurt and felt like a thousand needles were attacking the back of my neck, the man placed a tape to protect it so I wouldn't get any infection and gave it to us for free of course, I thanked the man and left I'm sorry glad I didn't request for a giant tattoo, hell knows I would have fought with Seth and walked out with it incomplete. We got back to the car and drove back home, when we walked in the guys were in the living room they all paid attention to us mostly me who felt my neck was about fall off. "Quinn are you okay? " Darren asked I just nodded and head to my room and collapsed on the bed exhausted and muttered out loud to myself. "My freaking neck.." I yelled turning over on the bed, I didn't even sleep much that night, I crawled to one of my shopping bags and took out pills I brought, I wasn't able to sleep well so I bought the pill when Maria didn't notice,
•••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
