Diana felt her heartbeat rise a little, having eye contact with this man at this point in time seemed like a really bad idea. All these didn’t happen when she came applying for a job, why is it happening now, Diana wondered. She didn’t want to say anything about Carl, at least not to anyone in Ohio; she came to the city to play it safe and live a quiet life why she mourn her late husband. He was already her husband before he died. But it seemed she had no choice at this point. “I’m.....I’m married.” Diana stuttered, she paused, waiting to see Fisher’s reaction. She never told him that when she was applying for the job, married women don’t do bartending, if they do; it’d mean they own the place or their husband owns it. There was no single hint of surprise on Fisher’s face, he took a drag at his marijuana and let out the smoke in the air before he spoke. “Married? How’s that even possible,” Fisher scoffed, his gaze didn’t leave her face. He wanted to see if she was telling the trut
Suddenly, Diana rose from the swirl chair; Fisher almost hit his jaw on the chair when she stood up without notice, he wasn’t expecting her to react that way. It took everything in her for Diana to force herself out of the trance. “What are you doing Mr. Fisher?” She inquired, looking rather puzzled, what the heck was her boss trying to do? It was clearly obvious but Diana was refusing to believe it. The two guards wanted to move again, but Fisher waved them off with his hands again, he stood upright and adjusted his blazers and tie. “I’m sorry Diana, you can leave now,” Fisher ordered, walking over to his chair. He expected nothing less on the first day, it was just a matter of time. Diana hurriedly left the office with mixed feelings, slamming the door behind her. Even though she didn’t want to believe it; it was clear that her boss wanted her for himself. The same man who told Julia off wanted her for himself. Well it wasn’t surprising; he might not want her to accept the offe
The voice was clearer and audible, Simon knew he wasn’t hallucinating this time , Freddy was actually there. He shifted his gaze to the side; seeing the short man stand beside him. Freddy was wearing his usual black suit, and was holding a beautifully designed walking stick while he had marijuana on the other hand. Simon was certain that he could never come there alone, he never told Freddy about the burial; he was still being monitored, if he was going to plan revenge; he’d have to take out anybody that was monitoring him. He looked over his shoulders to confirm his thoughts; there he stood, Hatake Hiroshima, the Japanese bodyguard. He could still take him out, Simon thought; Hatake was standing few meters away from them. He had enough time to snap Freddy’s neck and run for it, but Freddy wasn’t a man who’d risk his life so easily. Simon had the hunch that Hatake wasn’t the only guard around, they might be surrounded without knowing. It was too soon to take risks, he calmed himself
“I’m sorry, i got lost in thoughts,” Simon said, forcing an awkward smile as he went out of the way for the well dressed man to pass through. The man scoffed, adjusted his blazers and walked in, followed by his guards. The two bouncers that stood in front of the club entrance looked at each other, grinning. Simon saw them, he felt suspicious; maybe the man wasn’t just a customer after all, his thinking might just be right. Simon thought. Well he wasn’t here to meet the owner of a club or a random rich guy, he wanted to forget the sorrows he had deep down, at least for a moment. He walked inside the bar, stealing glances at the bouncers who weren’t even looking at him. The well dressed man he had met outside was sitting on a stool facing the counter, the club was bubbling as the music blasted from different speakers placed at strategic places. The dance floor was filled with people, however; the bar was a little scanty. The unknown man guards stood beside him, they were backing h
Julia felt so irritated the more this man spoke with authority, now he was threatening her with her job. Does he have any connections with the boss? Considering his appearance and guards, it most likely would be true. She rolled her eyes and sighed, she had to thread with caution, you never can tell. He might just be someone crucial. “Diana!! Get over here,” Julia called out, her voice was loud enough for Diana to hear even with the music, it also made Simon raise his head up from the counter. “Please give me a refill before you leave,” Simon’s voice was shaky and silent, he was starting to see things in twos, this was his seventh shot of Tequila. He could still hear the music that came from the dance floor, and he could still see the woman in front of him, her red hair was starting to look like rose petals to him. Her blue eyes glowed like marble, Simon had never seen a woman’s lips so plump and attractive, she was beautiful even in her bar tending outfit. “I’ve filled it sir,”
Diana gasped as she heard the sound of Simon crashing to the ground. She should have been more alerted, he was drunk. Julia and the unknown man were also staring at the direction; surprise was written all over Julia’s face but not on the man’s. He expected it, and he was happy it happened. At least it’d make Diana lose interest in him, there was no way a beautiful lady would want to be with a drunkard. But it seems he was wrong, or maybe he was judging to quickly. Diana rushed quickly out of the bartender’s section, Julia didn’t move an inch; the surprise had left her face too. It wasn’t new, it happened every time, the unexpectedness made her surprise. And it’d disrupt such a glorious conversation, she was waiting so anxiously for Diana’s reply, her response was needed and Julia wanted to hear it. Diana knelt down beside Simon, the glass cup he held had shattered on the concrete. The few people seated in the bar area had their attention shifted to the collapsed man. She lifted his
Nick’s gaze landed on Ryan, he had never seen that face before; but he could tell just from the looks that Gonzalez wasn’t just an ordinary individual, the two hefty men that stood behind him confirmed his suspicions. He looked at Julia then shifted his gaze to Diana; none of them responded to his request and they were looking rather surprised. “Diana would you mind giving me a drink, I’m kinda dehydrated right now.” He tried again, staring at Diana with a soft smile on his face. Diana flickered her eye lashes, and looked at Julia; she hadn’t forgotten the promise she made even during all these commotion. She had promised Julia that she’d ignore Nick; Diana expected Julia to quickly chip something in during the moment of her ignorance, but Julia remained silent. Instead Gonzalez was the one who spoke. “Do you wish to drink or you want to be thrown out in the blistering cold?” He asked, blowing hot air at Nick’s direction; he then chuckled, he wasn’t expecting all these to happen on
Nick felt the yell go through his body, he shivered in confusion. The yell was so unexpected that it caught him off guard, what was happening, what really happened with that man. Nick thought, the only way he could find out was to allow Julia to calm down. Diana wasn’t responding either, something terrible might have happened with that man. For a customer sitting in front of them and none was answering, it was very odd; or maybe because he wasn’t a stranger. He got the answer to that question rather quickly. Another customer approached the counter, and sat on one of the stools right beside Nick. He looked worn out, and his eyes were pale. He wasn’t someone who should be drinking, but that wasn’t Nick’s concern. “I need a shot of tequila please, if it could be mixed with some lime too,” the man said, his voice showed how tired he was. Diana sighed, she shoved the bottle she had been holding in pretense back into the shelf. Now, Nick was going to find out that she was ignoring him
“How did he get down here.” Hatake voice was furious, it was certain that he’d be frowning behind the mask that moment. “He kept insisting that Fred knew him and he was the son of Ryan Fisher, the second notorious mafia in all of Ohio and was forcing his way through,” the guard responded. Freddy wanted to speak when the door creaked open, and Gonzalez walked in. “I did forced my way in, because my dad was kidnapped because of you.” He said walking inside the large room uninvited. Hatake was about making a move, but Freddy waved him off, trying to sit up on the large bed. “Go on Hatake, I’ll deal with this,” Freddy said, his gaze focused on Gonzalez who wasn’t smiling. Hatake stared at Gonzalez for a few seconds, then his gaze shifted to Freddy and then to the guard that was standing close to the door. He then started walking out of the room, hastily. Gonzalez watched him from the side of his eyes, as Hatake passed by him, he wondered just how good he’d be in actual combat. Fredd
“First, you’ve to tell me what really happened, Nick and I guess we’d have to fill Angelina in too, she’s looking so confused,” Simon said, glancing at Angelina. She nodded positively at him, still confused. Nick sighed, he placed his hands on his face for a few seconds, then he went over to Simon and started losing the rope they had used in bounding him to the chair. Simon felt the pain on his wrist ease out a little, he couldn’t be more happy that Nick agreed to his plan without making a fuss. This plan would help him solve all the problems in his life, with a price of him going to prison. He’d make sure he opened up to Diana before he was thrown in there. “I was almost there when it happened, but I was late. When I got there, Diana had already been carried inside the vehicle. Julia was with her, it seemed she was pushed or something. She was bleeding at the back of her head, when I got to her and they were already gone,” Nick narrated, as he finished losing the rope. “ I’m rea
“What the hell are you doing here Angelina?” Nick bellowed, scanning her from head to toe. Why was it the moment when Simon was ready to spill everything that she came rushing in, now he might decide to change his mind. He was almost there, and Angelina just blowed everything up. Maybe he didn’t really need a partner. Nick thought, frowning. Simon sighed, glancing at Angelina, she shouldn’t be here with the way she was looking. “I’m a detective too Nick, I’ve informants; one of them just told me that Ryan Fisher and one of his workers, a woman named Diana Flames has been kidnapped by unknown people. They only saw Diana being kidnapped, Fisher didn’t show up at work but his car was later found, his guards were dead but his body wasn’t there, which explains that he had also been kidnapped. That same informant told me you arrested Nathe, and that’s why I’m here, he saved my life Nick. What are you doing?” Angelina narrated everything without taking a breath. Nick covered his face in
“Hello there, guess you’re awake. Don’t worry, we’re not gonna hurt you, if you cooperate with us.” The masked man accent could absolutely tell you he was Japanese and the sword he was holding also somewhat confirmed it. “Who are you people, and what have I done wrong?” Diana felt the sharp pain at her nape as she spoke, her head was aching one sidedly. “When he’s awake, he’s going to answer that himself, for now. We need to clean you up and have you prepared while we have the chance,” the masked man said, walking over to where Diana was and he started losing the rope tied around her hands. Diana was confused, who was this “he”, the man was talking about, her mind was filled with the pictures of Gonzalez, it could only be him. How did he get back to town without the police knowing, and tried to kidnap her twice, even after losing two of his men. “I don’t want to see your boss, please; if you let me escape, I’ll give you anything in return,” Diana struggled as the masked man loosed
Julia screamed loudly, when she saw what was done to Diana, fear surging through every fiber of her being, one of the masked men pushed her because of her screaming, she staggered and fell, hitting her head on the street light pole, losing consciousness instantly. Nick had driven past the Simpsons club when he heard Julia’s scream, he increased his speed, driving to the direction of her scream, his headlights showed Julia collapsing beside the street light, while a car zoomed off. He quickly hit the brakes, and jumped out of the car pointing his gun at the vehicle that was already leaving his sight, he couldn’t even make out the plate number anymore. Nick brushed his hand through his black hair, walking hastily towards Julia, he squatted and raised her head on his lap, tapping her cheek lightly. “Julia, Julia,” Nick called, but there was no response, he felt her pulse, she was still alive. That was wen he realized the moist texture flowing at the back of her head. Blood! Nick’s
“Hey babe,”Nick frowned a little at sound of the word, she was moving too fast, he only had the sex to make her carry out this small mission, he hadn’t agreed to take her back fully. Even though he was more willing to take her back than he was before, but the thought that Diana was still out there and was being bodied by the mother fucking Simon was still eating him up. “What do you have for me?” He went straight to the point without replying to her pleasantries. “You could at least say hi,” Julia sounded a little concerned, Nick could imagine her furrowing her brow or rolling her eyes. “Okay hi, just give me the information already, there’s an emergency,” Nick replied, tapping his desk involuntarily. He heard Julia sigh on the other end and then the name came through. “Simon King, that’s it.” Julia said, her voice a little low than she was speaking previously. “Got it, gotta go now, bye.” Nick hung up the call before Julia could respond. He wasn’t ready for casual talks, not t
Freddy walked slowly down the ridge that led to the lakeside, the beach was quiet and entirely deserted, it was midnight, no one was expected to be there. He had six guards, armed to the teeth, three following behind him and three moving ahead of him. He was puffing out smokes from his marijuana as he walked; they came down the beach, only to hear a man’s yell from a far distance. Freddy immediately knew who it was, it was Ryan. “Over here Freddy!!” The guards started walking towards the direction of the yell on Freddy’s orders. As they got close, they could see him clearly. “He’s bounded sir,” one of the guards in front called out, raising his hand in a fist to halt their movement. He glanced backwards at Freddy, waiting for instructions. They were just few meters apart from each other, Freddy popped his head out to get a clear view of Ryan, he had been suspicious of this whole situation from the very start, he had wondered and thought why Ryan would call him out here just to t
Diana kept stealing glances at Julia, she had been smiling brightly all night, it seems something good has happened, but she wasn’t going to ask. They haven’t been talking to each other for quite awhile, and Diana didn’t want to be the one to approach Julia this time, the last time she tried, she was scolded. But, to her surprise; Julia did come to her herself this time, after the counter was a little free from customers, Julia came close to Diana where she was wiping spilled drinks from the counter. “Hey Diana, why aren’t you wearing an elegant smile today, did your little boyfriend offend you?” Julia started, her eyes glowing. They hadn’t spoken for some time and here she was acting like nothing ever happened between them, Diana stared at her surprisingly for some seconds before she replied. “I don’t have a boyfriend Julia, I should be asking you the opposite of that question. You seem to be in a good mood today, want to share the good news?” Diana responded, waiting anxiously f
Holding Julia very tightly, Nick released the whole thing inside of her, he then pushed to the couch panting, Julia was also panting heavily, they laid there, without uttering any words, just the sounds of their breath filling the room. Nick didn’t want to admit it, but there was no doubt that he had certainly missed this woman, the thoughts of giving her a second chance was clouding his mind, but he couldn’t quickly decide now, he might not be thinking straight. After he had finished up all of his cases, he would make his final decision, for now; all he needed to do was play the game. “I’m going to do it Nick,” Julia was the first to speak, she was staring at the ceiling as if it was what she was speaking to. “I’m going to get Simon’s other name,” she completed bringing her gaze down to Nick, whose eyes were fixed at her, with a small smile. There was no need for him to say anything more. ***Simon had been thinking about who would want to kidnap Diana, he couldn’t come up with
