Shadows of Deception ‘A friend like you…’
~*~ “Want to get a drink with me?”Taking a deep breath, I gave a small nod, “Sure,”“Okay,” I began as we sat at the table with our drinks, What was that all about?”“Which part?”“I’ll probably start with the most interesting part that doesn't involve me, but I'm curious as hell.” I smiled.“Ana-Maria?”“No, Violet.”There was a sudden look of anguish that washed across his face, but he hid it as he took a drink calmly and responded, “She meant everything to me, I'd never hurt her.”“Meant…?”“I need to start from the very beginning to help you understand Becky, starting with my parents,”For a second I wondered if I did the right thing by asking him about this, but James somehow had this willingness to relate his story to me.“I was born in Croatia,” he began, “My mother is Croatian and my father is Romanian. My father constantly left us to fulfill his work responsibilities elsewhere until one day I discovered my mother was becoming very ill and needed urgent treatment. We didn't
Shadows of Deception Change of plans.
After bidding farewell to Martha, I left with James.“So these people,” I began as I looked out at the night sky on our way back to the house,“Are you sure they'd help me?”"I'm one hundred percent sure, Grey.”“Okay good, I trust you, James. Even though I only met you recently. I'll kick myself if this turns out to be a lie.”“You'll what?” he almost laughed.“For trusting people, I have no reason to trust.”“It seems like a valid point.”“James,” I took a deep breath, “This man, Gianmarco Vincelli, I've heard the name before.”“I assumed you may have heard it. Not knowing it, however, would always be wiser:"“What do you mean?”“Nothing good ever comes out from knowing that name, Becky.”“I have only heard about him James, from what I know, he's not on good terms with the Salvatores.,"“They're rivals. Their families are against each other.”“But why?”“Are you questioning me about mafia business, Becky?” he laughed. Finally.“Have you ever met them?” I asked curiously.“Who?”“Sin

~^~You know how to drive right?" he suddenly asked me waiting for an answer, but continued anyway, “Doesn't matter. Take the wheel.”“What?”Before he even answered he scrolled down his window, grabbed a handgun from his kit, lunging himself halfway outside to aim at the chasers. Without another moment to spear, I unbuckled my seatbelt and scooted over to the driver's seat taking full control over the vehicle.“Keep driving!” I heard him shout to me as he hit his hand on the top of the car as a signal to me, “And don't turn back for me.”Gunshots aimed at us as I continued to drive faster and faster. James climbed out of the car completely, and I could hear his footsteps on the roof of the car while the sound of gunshots obstructed my hearing. From the rearview mirror, I noted James, jump onto one of the cars and kick the driver out. I was honestly amused. He's such a badass. This random twat driver suddenly appeared in front of me, causing me to take a sharp turn while he aimed a gu

~*~“Get her there safely.” With that, he got out of the car and headed to a motel nearby.“He’ll be fine, don't worry about him. He dealt with things like this already. Currently, we should focus on you because I, for one, don't want to get my ass involved with the Salvatore's anymore," “James told me about your father, Hades.” I began on our way back.“Daddy,” he spat, “Never liked that old bat anyway.”“Well, that's-"“Interesting? Sad? Pathetic? Yeah, we never used to see eye to eye. My old man was a dictator, I was a free spirit.”“Why were you tied up by Vincelli's men?” He rolled his eyes, “Are you always this nagging?”“I'm a woman, it's what I do.” I retorted, “And you didn't answer my question.”“I'm not obligated to answer to your cupcake.” Placing my hand on the gun, I smiled sweetly, “Would be a pity seeing a bullet through your brain,”“Can't have no damn civil conversation here, now can I?” he answered mirroring my smile, yet in an annoyed manner.“What can I say? Th
Shadows of Deception Matter of factly.
“Miss?” he sweetly yet worriedly asked again. I noticed he held one of the pool sticks in his hand, yet there was no one else in the room.“You play alone?” I questioned perplexed.He seemed a bit taken aback by my response, yet he recollected himself to a smile, I'm glad you're okay. Can you walk properly?"“I’ll learn if I can’t," I assured him as I steadied myself and took a step away, yet I felt hell yank my right foot down.“Maybe you should sit.”“Uh, no it's fine. My brother must be waiting for me outside, besides my mom did tell me to be wary of strangers." I smiled sweetly recollecting that most beautiful men play the dirtiest games.“Oh, I understand.” He said almost hurt. For some reason, my heart couldn't leave like this. There was something about him, so genuinely sincere that I couldn't just walk away from it. I wanted to ask him why he was alone in this room or why was there a tremble in his voice when I was about to leave. In that instance, thought to myself, why not

“You alright miss?" the bartender asked bringing me back to reality.“Yes, yes," I smiled back politely.I felt tired and honestly really exhausted. Maybe I should have gone to the room and tried to get some rest for a while. Scanning the room for Moe, I neared him chatting with a tall blonde.“Piranha," he smiled, “Are you okay? Have you been drinking?"*No," I answered honestly, “I’m just tired, can I get the room key?""Sure," he instantaneously replied and grabbed the room key, "Becky," he called me again, "Are you sure you're alright?"“Yeah," I smiled, “All good."As I made my way across the room towards the exit I felt lightheaded yet somewhat heavy. Maybe I should have stayed here with Moe, it was safer. Somehow I felt like my thoughts fuzzed around my mind and I got this mild headache. I need to get back to Moe.“Becky," some cooed my name as they steadied me with them and caressed my hair gently, “Let's go.""Go?" I asked sleepily."Home, let's go home, Becky."At this poin

~^~Touching my neck, my finger grazed along a cold metallic chain and I curiously looked at the silvery pendant which had this great stallion that looked somewhat majestic in its form. Moe walked up to me and held the pendant as it hung around my neck, observing it as if he were trying to recollect a memory.“The man who saved me," I breathed, “He put that around my neck. I don't know who he is."Moville seemed to be still taken by the necklace."Moe, what are you thinking?"“It won't make sense." He responded, *It doesn't,"“Finneas and I will check the surveillance footage." Ricard stated, “Perhaps that can aid Miss Grey in identifying the man."As they both left the room, leaving Moe and the stranger behind I frowned at the pendant until I heard Moe's overdramatic sigh and flop on the sofa."Christ. What did I get myself into?" he moaned, I need a beer.""I assure you, I don't think that's what you need." The stranger replied to Moe as he ended his call.Attempting to stand, the m
Shadows of Deception For the best.
"Oh my god," I trembled."Becky maybe you should just relax a little," Finny stated worriedly.“I can't, I need to find out. Who is this man and why did he help me and what did he mean? I don't understand a thing. Is he working for Sinister to find me?"“As far as I know, he doesn't do anyone's errands, Piranha." Moe shrugged.“There isn't much information I can gather from him here which is odd because my system usually can go through secure software," Ricard stated, "But what I can find is that he was born in a small town in England. Both his parents are deceased and he was placed in an adoption home by his Nanny in London. I assumed his parents left him in her care when they died.""How did they die?" I asked."Murdered but not much is stated again here." “If he wanted to kill me he could have. If he worked with Sinister then he could have taken me with him. If he wanted to hurt me he could have. Instead, he saved me and gave me his necklace. He was warning me about something- abo
