"I don't believe I heard any screams?" Collen replied shaking his head denying having heard anything.
As much as they would like to take Collen's word for it, one person hearing things could very easily be dismissed. But when every person present were quite certain they heard screaming, that seems a bit of a stretch to be mistaken. Sure it may not have been screams, but it was very clear there had been some noise. Though out of a mix of a love and or respect depending on whos perspective you were to view it from, everyone chose not to pursue the subject.
"So ladies. I believe we can leave the cleanup to Brick and Dane. Ready to go home?"
Cassie tilt back her glass downing it's contents. "God knows after tonight I'm more than ready. S-So J-J-"
"Cassie I'm not su

Collen spent the duration of the drive absentmindedly stroking Evelyn's hair even well after she fell asleep looking out the window,'A new moon huh? It feels as though even the night's sky is trying to envelope me in darkness tonight. Despite all of the street lights, cars passing by, the lit up houses. Collen couldn't help but feel it was just a dark night. Since the moments of Joe's death his mind downright refused to be silenced.'Why?.. Why did it have to play out like that?... He should have suffered longer! The pain he experienced before his death wasn't enough! There's zero chance he would have even felt gunshot for even a quarter of a second!' For Collen there was nothing of greater importance than Evelyn's safety. You add Kendra, Daphne, and Alison to that mix, Collen couldn't help but feel his actions were more than justified.'For close to a decade she has been the one good thing in my life. Without her-' Collen glanced down a

Collen began slowly crawling out of bed doing his best not to disturb the girls who were still sleeping.'Can't help but feel I'm playing some form sexy version of twister.' Collen thought to himself trying not to laugh. Sure the girls all had that morning beauty going on. But Collen would be lying if he were to claim it did anything to make them less sexy. Each one gorgeous in any given situation or time of day. They could dress up as clowns and they would be the hottest clowns in existence.After creeping over the group occasionally pausing as one began to stir, Collen successfully was able to navigate the human minefield successfully leaping from the bed and striking a pose flexing his muscles.'HAHA how's that for some hand eye coordination!?' He thought proudly striking a few more poses."Flex them muscles baby!' Evelyn whispered having witnessed his escapades."For you there's another muscle I would much rather you be in awe of."

Collen having just managed to slip away during the chaos unfolding made a mad dash for the shower shortly after Kendra tried putting the moves on Evelyn. If there was one thing he could say for certain, is Kendra would probably be on his heels trying to join him if he didn't hurry... Or Daphne... Or Evelyn.. All three?.. 'Okay that doesn't sound too bad.. Concentrate Collen concentrate!'Collen made sure to quickly finish rinsing himself off and turning off the water. As he left the restroom he could see Evelyn holding onto Kendra's wrist sipping her coffee with her eyes closed. When she set down her mug she opened her eyes noticing Collen before Kendra was able to releasing her grip."HAHA Here I com- ... Boo!" The second she was released Kendra took off like a slingshot running straight for the restroom until her eyes found Collen. Her excitement immediately waning seeing as Collen already finished his shower. " I expect both of you to make this up to me tonight." Ke

"I knew it! I fucking knew it!" A man screamed as gunshots rang out from almost every direction. Collen and the others could see the tracer rounds flying in their direction. Dirt was kicking up all around them, from both returning fire and incoming rounds hitting all around them."Well feel free to tell that to the LT. (lieutenant) when you have a chance. I'm sure he won't mind hearing an I told you so right now!" Collen yelled back at his friend"I would but oh wait he has a fucking hole in his goddamn head! Fucking butter bars!"Collen shrugged his shoulders. "Yea that does tend to be problematic. Upper left window eleven o clock one hundred meters! They're setting up in that two story house!" Collen called out."Roger, I see it!""Is the 240 almost in the fight yet!?" Bruiser called out."They're climbing to the top of the house now!"Just like everyone was afraid of, sure enough they found themselves in an ambush. They were

Brroooaar.Collen was woken up by the loud roaring engines of what could be described as a slumbering beast. Instantly he was able to deduce he had already been loaded onto a giant C130 with four engine turboprops flying back to what he could only assume was the United States or Germany.Collen's was unable to suppress his curiosity as he looked around the plane's fuselage. There were dozens of other medical stretchers strapped down in the hold along with over a dozen medical staff. Some were faces Collen even recognized... Even one..That was close... Very close..."Bruiser... Either kiss me or get that ugly mug out of my face.""HEY YOU'RE AWAKE!""SHH!" One of the medical attendants did her best to shush the man."W-What are you doing here?" Collen groaned trying his best to sit up but bruiser held his shoulders down."Hey man chill you can't be moving around much plus you're strapped down anyways. You had a bad concussion, to

That was the day Collen's life began spiraling out of his control. Not only did he lose a good friend. But when he arrived at Walter Reed he learned just how bad the damage was. The shrapnel to his abdomen was the more minor issue. His leg had been hit by quite a bit of shrapnel and had a few fractures. In one sense he was extraordinarily lucky to have kept his leg, in another the outcome was just as horrible as losing his leg."They're afraid you will never make a full recovery. They want to medically retire you." These were the words Ashley was too afraid to tell him in the plane ride back to the United States. Hearing this Collen couldn't help but feel the world was beginning to crumble all around him. The doctors were only there to crush his hopes even more."You're going to begin rehabilitation, but I-... I'm sorry I don't know of an easy way to say this so I'll just come out with it. Chances are your leg will never be able to fully support your weight again."

Liana couldn't believe her ears. She felt a wave of nostalgia washing over her as memories she almost forgot about began flooding back in her mind. The more she looked, the more she heard, she couldn't help but believe this was far too much of a coincidence. He's Irish, he looks older which stands to reason but for the most part their features are the same, I'm almost certain his name was Collen.Her mind began filling with memories of when she was sixteen years old, she was on a vacation in Ireland with her family. They had just arrived the day before and were suffering from some serious jet lag, but Liana? Not a chance. She was brimming with excitement. There were so many things she wanted to see, so much she wanted to do! Despite her parent's repeated warnings and insisting for her not to leave the hotel alone. She did what any child would do.... Ignored them. She soon left telling them she was going to explore the hotel. In reality she immediately ran out the front

For reasons that Liana herself couldn't explain she felt as though her heart was being gripped in fear. The charming smile she previously found attractive suddenly turned to one that could only be described as terrifying. She felt her legs begin to quiver as the pressure quickly began overcoming her."I said give me your purse! I can't help but feel we need it more than you do American.""I-I .. I think I s-should head back to my ho-" Liana spun on the spot and quickly began retreating away from the man mumbling almost incoherently in her panicked state. Until she felt a hand catch her wrist."No I don't think it's time for you to leave yet. You're here enjoying our country. Shouldn't you be willing to help us?" The boy named Devon asked gripping Liana's wrist so tight it was hurting her, and no matter how hard she pulled, her wrist didn't even slip a little. His eyes wandering over her then to the purse.'Even if there's not much money in that purse I re

Elsewhere. "Sir we will be arriving shortly." "Aye. Thanks lad." An older man thanked his driver.. Sitting in the backseat of a luxurious sedan was an older man in dressed head to toe in both style and decadence. His appearance, voice and manners all refined almost to perfection, his aura commanded your attention. Yet he was currently smiling ear to ear like a giddy school boy. "It's been some time since I've seen you this excited sir. Are you sure it's okay for you to arrive without announcing yourself ahead of time?" "Bah. Now where would the fun be in that?" "Well I'm just saying sir. Someone of your stature should be recognized. You're far from a nobody." "Aye I suppose one could argue that, but I've never been one to enjoy my status. Besides there's a young man I wish to surprise." Backstage of the charity event. "Alright hurry now. We only have so much time to fix this disaster." Evelyn stated glancing back over her shoulder while maintaining a brisk pace. "Wait..

Present day."Evelyn!" Tatianna cried out in excitement holding her arms out preparing for a hug. Then there was Aurora. Every time the spotlight managed to find it's way to her, her silhouette managed to shrink. But as soon as the subject changed or Tatianna managed to deflect it away from her, Aurora would begin to recover. But this moment? Her silhouette shrank so much she could barely even be seen as a shadow.'That's Evelyn Constantine! That's Evelyn Constantine!' Aurora was currently in melt down mode. Her face was a bright tomato red. It wouldn't surprise her in the least if steam was visibly bellowing from her ears.'T-Two s-super models... Wait no three! AND I LOOK LIKE THIS!? Dear god Any other day I would pay to be in the presence of these women, but why today of all days do I have to look like a train wreck!?' Aurora clenched her teeth and eyes closed trying her best to prevent tears welling up in her eyes and furthering her disappointing appearance. Her current wardrobe,

"Think you can fuck with us !? Both of you can go to hell!" Sven roared charging at Collen. He was committed to his actions. Once in a while a little blood just had to be spilled. Of course it never did look good in the headlines, and would bring heat down upon all of the gangs in the area. But this was all acceptable. Police attention could be bought, and even if they were to launch an investigation, there was only one thing worse. A loss of respect. If the people you stand above don't respect you, soon the payments begin coming up short, then they'll stop altogether. Soon enough individuals, and neighborhoods will stop complying. That would leave you with two options. First uproot and find another neighborhood who doesn't know any better and crack a few skulls so to speak. The second. You crack every skull that speaks out against you. But at that point you've allowed a wound to fester, and it's only going to get worse. Instead of keeping a firm hand with one or two individuals from

"Huh?" Crutches stood dumbstruck. He had never once so much as uttered a word to Sven let a alone beat him to a pulp and send his car flying into traffic. 'Shit I'm still recovering from having my ass beaten to a pulp, I'm not gonna go out looking for a fight in this condition!' Sven smirked pointing his nose in the air. "As you can see it was a close fight. After kicking his ass I even showed mercy... I was the bigger man, chose to walk away of my own free will.. Then the bastard sucker punched me! And while my head was still spinning he began raining down blow after blow. Absolutely no honor among adversaries. 'No honor among adversaries!? I was never an adversary to begin with! I mean I won't say it's something I wouldn't do, but damn! If I'm going to be accused at least allow me to throw a few punches!' He thought as his mouth hung open bringing a whole to level of dumb to his expression. "Huh?" Tatianna uttered in complete dismay. 'I expected Sven to pull some shady shit in r

"So who are we looking for anyway?"...!!!'Oh shit! I hadn't even thought of that! What the hell am I going to tell Aurick!? Oh hey by the way that's the person who whooped my ass, sent my car flying into traffic, fingered me to the person who's car it hit, and the police! By the way it's also a girl who maybe weighs one hundred and ten pounds top!' Sven thought to himself, his eyes squeezed shut, clamping his hands to his head shaking it side to side. Sure Aurick was a long time friend, and if there's anyone who would possibly let this go it would be him. That being said some times friends are the ones to give you the most shit above anyone else. The closer you were, chances are the more shit you'll take."ERRr.... About that... " Sven mumbled.'Man I'll just have to bite the bullet and tell him what happened. Obviously neglecting to mention the information about how I've been extorting the boss's clients after their debts were paid.'Sven sighed and began glancing side to side loo

"This is bullshit I'm telling you it wasn't my fault! RAAAAH!" Sven roared raking his dinner tray back and forth across the jail cell bars he currently found himself comfortably forced into, and when we say comfortably it was probably as comfortable as sitting on an angry porcupine. "As much as I'm enjoying these fine one star accommodations... LET ME THE FUCK OUT!""For the love of Christ all mighty will you shut up already!" An officer sitting at his desk groaned. Unfortunately he was the lowest ranked officer in their precinct therefore got the desk closest to the jail cells housing all of the lovely intoxicated and angry people who would love nothing more than to shove a stun gun up his nostril. "You know why you're in here!""No! No I don't know why I'm in here I'm telling you it's that -""It was your car that rolled onto a main road correct?""Well yes but it was -""There was an awful lot of money in your vehicle for someone who's records show as unemployed.""So what!?

"Ты хочешь снова упомянуть мою семью!? Я засуну свой кулак тебе в задницу и вытащу твою голову оттуда!" (You want to mention my family again!? I'm going shove my fist up your ass and pull your head back out of it! ) Tatianna roared pivoting on the pads of her foot and driving her knee hard into his ribs.CRACK!Though it wasn't super loud, there was certainly the audible sound of something fracturing or breaking."NYAAAAH!" Sven cried out in agony. He was usually the one doling out the beating not receiving them. To pour a little salt on the wound, it happened this was the first time he ever had anything either broken or fractured. Tatianna on the other hand was trying her best to control her laughter at his noises. She may have seen an anime or two in her time and couldn't help but feel his sounds were that of a cat girl doing the pawing motion.'If this is what passes for a gangster these days I don't ever want to meet who they consider the weak.' She shrugged."NYoo BEITCHEEEEEEE

A few minutes prior to Tatianna's encounter. "Yes boss.. Yes I'm on my way to McDonalds right now.""Ah is it the one the Devine girl works at?" A gruff yet smooth Russian accent came through the phone's speaker."Yes boss that's the one. What can I say it's my favorite." The man driving responded"Haha I can imagine why. It's quite the view if you know what I mean. But that reminds me, their debt was paid off I believe two months ago, you made sure to tell them and give my condolences about Mr. Devine right?""Of course boss. They were very touched by your words and the fact you were willing to knock down their debt to the exact amount borrowed after his death. Very generous if I do say so myself.""Good, good. Keep up the good work Sven. Though I lost that extra money, word will spread how compassionate and great Yuri is. People will flock to me for loans!""Hehe no doubt boss. Ah I'm here now." The man named Sven declared pulling into a parking spot shutting off his car. Sven look

"It's true! I had absolutely no desire to become a model! I was perfectly content working at McDonalds minding my own business when someone almost forced me to become a model." Tatianna declared with a straight face. ...No one present truly knew Tatianna which was currently their biggest dilemma. Assume she's joking and laugh? You could but what if she was being serious? Wouldn't laughing make them downright insensitive?'Sometimes I can't help myself.' Tatianna smirked watching the group look back and forth squirming under the imaginary pressure. "I'm joking. Well about being forced at the very least. Unable to maintain her straight face Tatianna emit a small chuckle her beautiful smile returning to her face.Everyone had been staring at her slack jawed especially James. He himself had never encountered any career models who hadn't grown up with that burning desire to launch a career, who wasn't willing to fight tooth and nail to follow their heart!
