Underground

Chapter 13

We eat the chicken and vegetables while watching a new Netflix series that came out a couple weeks ago.

I get tired so I get off the couch and put my plate in the dish washer.

I walk back into the living room and hug Caden around his neck giving him a peck on the cheek.

"I'm going to bed I will see you In the morning."

He turns the tv off and stand up from the couch moving around to me and giving me a proper hug and a kiss to the forehead.

"Ok sweetheart, have a good night."

"You too " I say walking down the hall to my room.

I turn my tv on and put the volume on low.

Going to the bathroom I change into a pair of pajamas then wash my face and brush my teeth.

Walking back out I get into the cold sheets and drift off to sleep.

Around 3 in the morning I wake up from a dream about my dad beating me until I'm barely breathing.

I try to go back to sleep but my heart is racing.

Before I know what I'm doing I'm in front of Caden's door.

I slowly open it to see him sound asleep laying on his side facing away from the door.

I tip toe into the room shutting the door back quietly making my way to the side of the bed he's not on.

I slowly get in the bed and wrap my self into the covers breathing in Caden's sent.

I breath a sigh of relief knowing that I'm protected.

"Bad dream." Caden mumbles

" I thought you were a sleep?" I whisper

"I was until you opened the door."

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, i just had a dream and needed to feel comfort to go back to sleep."

"Don't ever apologize because you need to feel safe. I will always be here for you, always."he whispers and pulls me into his chest.

I fall back to sleep with his arms wrapped around me.

                            *****************

I wake up to my phone ringing around 9:30. I grown and walk out of Caden room and into mine grabbing my phone.

"Hello"

"Good morning Kasey, just calling to update you the your dad has just left to get on a plane around 10:15 this morning. I am following him  now and will text you when the plane takes off."

"Thank you I really appreciate this."

"Not a problem at all. You saved my ass when it needed to be saved. This is the least I could do."

"Alright well I go to go, text me when the plane has taken off. I have to get ready to train."

"Will do, when is your next fight."

"Tuesday and Caden's is on Wednesday. I would love to see you there Travis."

"I will see what I can do. You know how it is running a mafia and all."

I laugh at that.

"Not quite but I can imagine."

He chuckles and says goodbye.

"Bye" I hang up and turn to head out my room but I see Caden at the door.

"Who was that."

"Travis, he said that frank has left and is on his way to get on a plane to leave the state. He will text me when the plane takes off. Also he might make it to our fights." I say the last part with happiness.

Travis is like a brother to me.

I've know him for about 5 years now.

when I was around 20 I just got out of one of my fights and was walking around back to get into my car.

Caden wasn't at my fight because he had a fight on his own that night so I was alone.

When I made it to my car I heard a bunch of yelling and the sound of flesh hitting flesh.

I look up and see 3 guys attacking this 1 guy.

The guy that is alone is 10 times the size of the other 3 but he is out numbered.

All the 3 of them attack him and he can't seem to hold his own.

I rush over to them and kick the first guy In the temple automatically making him black out.

One of them look up at me and smirks.

He jumps up to his feet trying to come at me but I fake a left and hit him with a right hook to his eye.

He stumbles back from the weight of my punch but before he can refocus I knee him in the balls and watch as he fall down to his knees.

I'm about to knock him fully out but a hole forms in his forehead as he drops back with blood running onto the pavement.

I look up to see the guy that was by himself staring at me with amazement.

Before he or I could say anything the one I kicked and  knocked out starts to groan.

Big guy raises his gun and shoots him in the head before he could open his eyes fully.

I'm not fazed it not the first person that I've see die before my eyes.

I look at guy 3 and see that his neck has been snapped.

"What's your name." I hear his gruff voice cut through the air.

"Mhmm I don't think so bud. I helped you out because you were in trouble. I'm not giving you my name."

He smiles a real smile at me and nods his head in respect.

"Well my name is Travis. I thank you for saving my ass. If there's anything that you need at anytime I will be there." He hands me a card that has his name and number on it.

"Thanks."

"Can I ask one question."

I shrug my shoulders.

"Where did you learn how to fight like that?" At his question I smile.

"My coach taught me."

"Well he did a great job, I would love to shake his hand."

After that interaction between us we didn't talk to each other for about 2 weeks until one of our places got busted by the cops.

I called in my favor for them to find us a empty building that we could use.

He found one but he refused to take that as my request at help.

He said he loved watching me fight and made it to most all of my fights when he could.

Travis finally meet Caden that night and shook his hand and told him what a great coach and trainer that he is.

After a couple of years he trusted me and cared for me to not get hurt so he finally told me that he was the leader of a mafia and he understood if I didn't want to be around him anymore.

I laugh In his face and told him I kinda figured he was apart of something like that.

A couple more year have passed and know he's like a brother to me.

When I sent him a text about my dad back in town, and was trying to blackmail me into giving him 20,000 dollars, he wanted to go and kill him right then and there.

"That's good that your dad took the threat seriously." Caden's voice pops me out of the past.

"Yeah it is." I murmur

"We'll come on and let's get some breakfast In to that body. Then you have your training session at 11."

I nod my head and walk to the kitchen to start some breakfast.
