A Sleeping Zombie

JEREMY'S POV I stalk into the north wing of the mansion and note how empty it is given the amount of soldiers has doubled in the last hour. and I need a way out of here. I need more gun power. And I need to get out of this fucking onesie. I curse as I rip the stupid thing from my body and leave the empty gun on the floor as I peruse the rooms on each side of the hallway. You made a stupid decision Kila, my head taunts. Coming back to this death trap without asking for a proper identification. What if the maid's dead? Or the guards took her? You didn't even ask for the room number or the girl's description? Fuck. What if Josephine sent me on a wild goose chase because she still hates me and wants me dead? What if she’s hoping the guards would catch me in my search for her non-existent maid and make her a widow? At least then she can go back to the States free from everything that has to do with Mafia life. Focus Kila. I open the third door on the right side and my lips tilt upwa

The Figurine

JOJO'S POV My smile grows wider as Jeremy groans and I blink away the speck that landed on my eyelash. I see Katrina in his arms and my throat dries up. I clear my throat and jerk my head, “Come on, I think I found a way out of here.” I grab his hand and we start booking it to the foyer when a fresh batch of soldiers march in from the opposite direction and Jeremy tugs me out of the way just in time. “Your plan is through the front porch?” He asks with a bewildered expression. I shrug, “It worked before.” “That was before your solo mission became a two-and-a-half men mission and—” I press my forefinger to his lips, effectively cutting off his tirade. “Thank you,” I whisper and give him a soft kiss on the cheek. “For what?” His voice drifts like he's in a daze. “For finding her.” His brows furrow and I want to smoothen them out, “Who?” “Katrina.” His frown goes deeper, “But I couldn't find her. I saw this one—he nudges Katrina's sleeping form—walking straight to her d

Questions

JEREMY'S POV I can't believe she came back. And now her leg is broken. Why the fuck would she come back? To kill me herself? because if that is then she's doing a pretty amazing job. I grunt as I carry the sleeping girl towards the poppy fields and I turn back to see the limping silhouette of Josephine as she hollers after me. Why the hell is she shouting? Doesn't she know we aren't in the clear yet? I swear she's trying to kill me. I shift away from the path, lay the sleeping girl on the cushion of the poppies, crouch down next to her, and wait. As Josephine comes barreling forward I jump in front of her. A shriek tears from her lip as she flails backward in surprise and I grab her arm and tug her to my chest. There's a blessed silence as she rests against me for one, two, three… and she goes ballistic. “What the hell did you do that for?!” She yells as she punches the same chest she'd just been resting on. The same chest that's riddled with a bullet wound. She's trying to

A Parent's Pain

JOJO'S POV Jeremy slumps face down to the ground after pointing at something and muttering words in Russian and I jump back in fright. Katrina rouses and we flip him over. Yep, he's out cold. In the middle of our conversation. The sun is on the horizon and Katrina points in the same direction Jeremy had pointed before slumping. “The giant blades.” She gasps and I follow her line of sight. The chopper. It's about a mile away and we run towards it as best as we can. She's holding her ribs and grimacing with each step while I hobble slash hop, wincing at the twinge of pain that radiates from my leg with each move. Once we're close enough, she starts yelling and I join her, hollering for anyone around but we don't see anyone. Until Sheryln steps out from a barricade of poppies with a long farming stick. Our shouts double and our energy is refueled as she starts running towards us. “We thought we lost you.” Sherilyn cries as she engulfs me in a hug. “You left me!” I accuse, shrugg

Familia

JOJO'S POV The next twenty-four hours flew faster than the speed of light making my head swirl from all the activity. I flew a chopper and crash-landed on an Italian hospital's air space. Jeremy flatlined twice in the hospital during his surgery. Maxim Vongov flew an unconscious Jeremy to Moscow without clearance from the hospital staff. “Jo!” Mallory and Kendrick are screaming and running in my direction as we get down from the car and I throw my arms wide but Sherilyn steps in front of me. “Be careful, she's injured.” “It's been awful these past weeks without you.” Kendrick coos as we engage in a family hug. “I'm surprised you two haven't killed each other.” “Finding you was more important,” Mallory says in a dry voice. I sigh happily and something shifts behind me. “There's someone I want you guys to meet.” “You got a stress puppy?” Kenny's eyes light up in excitement and I give her a weird look. “This is Katrina and she's a friend from Italy.” Katrina steps from behind

Barbie Porsche

JOJO'S POV We barge into school nineteen minutes after the first lesson starts. On the drive over, the girls assured me I didn't have a problem as they'd kept me updated on homework. They also told everyone I'd gone to some African country and that was wild, even for me. The ten-minute drive to school was very therapeutic. They apologized for being shitty friends, I apologized for making it all about me. We apologized to each other some more and then laughed at how sappy we were. The hallways are worse than a graveyard during class sessions, the silence always reminds me of the day I confirmed my parents' dead bodies. The girls wanted to escort me to each class but I couldn't handle that much attention. Also, I have something on my agenda. I slip into class and the teacher doesn't bat an eyelash. My classmates however are about to combust from sheer shock which draws the attention of my teacher and I'm sent to detention. Side note: It's not always nice to be famous in high schoo

Men

JOJO'S POV I storm up the stairs and into Jeremy's room, coming to a shocked standstill when I see Claire on top of Jeremy, straddling him and trying to suck his face off with her mouth. White hot rage blankets my common sense and I'm dragging Claire out of the room by her fake extensions before my brain can comprehend what's going on. She screams like a banshee and rakes her fingernails over hands but my grip tightens on her hair, dragging her harder than before. I reach the edge of the stairs and prop her against the wall, releasing my grip on her hair and I grip her chin and jerk her face up so she can see her attacker. Her eyes go wide as recognition swallows her shock. “Hello Claire, did you miss me?” My lips stretch out to reveal my teeth and she shudders. “Wait waaait!!” She cries as I give her a hard smack that bounces her head against the wall like a ricochet. “Why aren't you answering, Claire? Don't you want to have that talk anymore? Another smack. Another Ricochet. M

Crash...

JEREMY'S POV The lusty haze clears from Josephine’s eyes and her face crumbles. “You want an annulment?” “The conversation we had at Tuscany—” “The one where you slumped midway, that conversation?” I struggle to give a coherent answer and she breaks away from my embrace, “Did you even hear half the things I said?” “I heard a lot.” “And what was I saying?” “That you didn't want to be with me and I don't blame you for that, I've done despicable —” “Shut up, Jeremy.” She snaps and looks at me. “Do you really want an annulment?” She peers into my face, trying to gauge my reaction. I blow a relieved breath, “No.” “Good because I don't want that either.” “Then why were you so afraid of people finding out?” “I don't know. I panicked. We're young and I thought you wouldn't be happy being roped into a wedding you didn't plan. You wore a freaking onesie!” I chuckle at her tragic expression, “It doesn't matter since we didn't sign any paperwork.” She groans, “Then why did you brin

After the Crash

JEREMY'S POV Once there was a boy, the nurses hovered over his stretcher as he was wheeled into the special hospital by the police and they pointed at him and whispered things from afar like he carried a contagion. They were scared of him. “You heard about his case too, right…” The voices buzzed around him. “Do you think he's alright?” One of them, a female asked with worried lips. “The police think he killed them.” Another responded. “All of them?” “That's what they're saying.” The voices whispered in hushed tones but the boy wasn't deaf. He could hear them and he heard them, loud and clear. Now, there was a horde of doctors and nurses peering down at the boy and he wanted to gouge their eyes out but his hands were restrained. His eyes snapped to the left, then the right and he realized his arms were bound by leather straps. He struggled against the bonds but they didn't let up. He tried to slide his hands out using his blood as a lubricant but it wasn't enough so he began

Void

JOJO'S POV The phone buzzed and buzzed and buzzed. It was an irritation so I tried to get up, toss it to the moon, and go back to my peaceful rest when my eyes cracked open and my world was hanging on the edge of a shrunken up upside down vehicle. Feeling disoriented with the phone still buzzing, I turned to my left and reality sucker-punched me into focus. The driver's seat beside me had a human-sized hole in the windscreen and a lump of lead dropped to my stomach. Jeremy never wore his seat belts. It came so suddenly I don't remember the first three seconds as I retched on my chest and belly. Jeremy. I have to find him. I have to make sure he's alright. The broken window beside me was my only escape and I wasted no time, trying to crawl out from under the constricting seatbelt. It felt more suffocating whenever I looked straight ahead because the traffic pole had hit my side of the car and my part of the windscreen was completely shattered. If it wasn't for the seatbelt
