Survival

Drop off

The location I arrived at was creepy. It gave me the chills. I got out of my car grabbing the bag and throwing it over my shoulder. I strutted with my heels towards what looked like an abandoned warehouse. I got towards the entrance and heard nothing. I knocked on the big garage like door but no one came. I checked my phone again to make sure I was at the right address. This was it. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Why was no one here? I can't return to the bar with this bag of money. Should I leave it at the door? No that's stupid someone would definitely take it. I waited another 10 minutes for some sort of noise to let me know I wasn't alone but nothing. I sighed walking back to my car with the money.

I got in, throwing the money to the passenger seat and pulled out my phone, ready to call the bar and hope for Lily to answer. I needed to speak with Rio. As soon as I was about to press call, I felt something cold against my temple.

"Don't move a muscle." The deep voice said.

I stayed silent and closed my eyes. It was a gun and someone was hiding in my backseat.

"Put the phone down" he said. I did as I was told.

"Pl-please don't hurt me. What..what do you want" I said in between my heavy breathing.

"Shut up. Who gave you this money? Huh?" He asked.

"I I don't know what you're talking about sir please" I cried.

"Stop lying to me!" He yelled. "Who you working for?" He demanded.

"No one I swear. No one. Please" he pressed the gun against my head harder.

"If you don't tell me im going to decorate your car with your pretty little face. You've got 5 seconds" he said seriously.

I panicked.

"5....4.....3....2...." he counted down. "1"

I closed my eyes tight waiting for the gun shot to go off. The gun clicked but no bullet came out. It sprayed me in the face with....water???

The man let out the loudest laugh. I looked in my backseat at him to see one of the guys that broke into my house that day with Rio. I glared at him.

"What the hell! You scared the shit out of me. Why are you in my car?!" I was pissed.

He laughed again. "Relax newbie. It was a test. You didn't give a name and you passed. You should be happy." He simply stated.

"So..this was all a test?" I asked angrily.

"Yeah pretty much." He answered. "Im Mick by the way"

"Honestly fuck you 'Mick'" I said his name with disgust. "Now get out of my car" I glared. He chuckled.

"Fine by me. I'll let boss know you did good. He wants you back at the bar after this." He said while taking the bag of money and exited my car.

I let out a deep breath. Why would Rio send me here just to test me? He was wasting my time and I did not like to be played with. I locked my doors and contemplated.

I started my car and pulled off.

I pulled up to my house. I know Rio wanted me back at the bar but there was no way I was going to do as he said after what he pulled tonight.

I shook off my anger and headed inside.

I threw my keys on the table when the kitchen light turned on.

Nick was sitting at the table with his arms crossed. Anger written all of his face.

"Where were you Bianca?"
