Blue Eren

The Badawi's

Issa had been keeping himself busy working the bar with Maria trying to be patient for Eren and Evie's return, Maria's best friend from Scotland Ashleigh Forrest had come to visit.
At first things were a little tetchy between Ashleigh and Issa but after a few days they'd started to click.
This afternoon Tac was hanging around waiting to make a club deal of some kind.
"Maria I can't take this, I can't wait any longer for Eren, I need to do something."
"Maybe she should tell you how she and this dude Dawed executed Yusha and his buddy Freddy a week before Christmas." Tac said clearly intoxicated.
"Fucking idiot!" Maria slapped her face.
"What I do?" Tac asked.
"Lightweight pussy could never hold your pish." Ashleigh replied.
"Wait, you killed Eren's parents!?" Issa had to lean against the bar.
"No! I killed Yusha's rapist friend Freddy, it was a club vote put into action by Fai, I'm the club assassin, Ashleigh here sets everything into motion."
The color from Issa's face was draining.
"This is how it went down. I took a flight to my old stomping grounds of Indiana to execute my brother Yusha in broad daylight, hey I've done it before. I was too late to stop him stabbing Eren's mother to death although I had been hiding in the basement I was just too slow to save her and I'll regret this until my dying day. I tell you anymore promise not to mention it to Eren or Evie just yet, let me do it."
"If she knows I know this and don't tell her I'll be her ex boyfriend."
"Give me some time, as far as I'm concerned I never told you, right Ash?"
"Aye."
"Right drunken dickhead!?" Maria asked Tac angrily.
"Right boss."
"Okay Issa?"
"Fine, but I never heard a word of this."
"By the time I got downstairs Yusha had stabbed Megan, his asswipe rapist friend Freddy was sitting there laughing, believe me Yusha was a rapist too. I know Freddy was a dangerous man, very fucking clever too but he was drunk like this guy." Maria pointed at Tac who shrugged innocently. "So I managed to catch him off guard and drive a knife into his neck, he slowly bled to death. But I'd exposed myself to Yusha only I'd noticed this weird guy in a plague doctor outfit opposite him. He subdued Yusha with an injection then disembowelled him and added maggots into his stomach, replacing his intestines."
Issa held his hand to his mouth, his breakfast was about to come up.
He watched in amazement as Ashleigh laughed uncontrollably. "Aye my lad Dawed, I finally got to meet him when he dropped into Glasgow from Saudi Arabia by helicopter to take my temperature, a fooken funny guy."
"A Doctor flew from Saudi Arabia to Scotland to take your temperature?" Issa asked.
"Aye we're mates and I paid him £10,000 for it. I can make that kinda shite in a week."
"Let's get back on track, the guy in the costume was a Doctor called Dawed. Yusha had been planning to kill him and his daughter Polly."
"Why?" Issa asked.
"He's a homophobic bawheed like Freddy was, that's why, I've met Polly, she's got her problems like me but she's cool, we're friends. Polly was dating Yusha's daughter Naia and he didn't like it. In this world they split on amicable terms but there's another world where they don't split amicably and the world almost comes to an end, all involving Polly and Dawed."
"This alternate world shit is too confusing." Tac added.
"Isn't it just. As I was saying, Dawed took Yusha's gun and shot him in the head to make it look like a murder, we ditched the weapons and I hid Freddy in the cellar, he was found soon after."
"I heard nothing about this Freddy guy." Issa scratched his head.
"I do my job professionally, even with the odd hiccup. Fawez is the oldest of the Badawi siblings, then Yusha, me and Fai, a year between all of us except two years between me and Fai. Fawez and Fai were always protective over me, Yusha was a bully. Now me? I know I can fly off the handle, see we all have the same dad."
"From Saudi Arabia?" Issa asked.
"Yep, now I won't have a bad word said about him, a great person, we all have our quirks. His well he couldn't stay with one woman for long. Fawez has a Tunisian mom, Yusha an American mom, me an Italian mom and Fai an English mom. We all have our good and bad sides. Fawez is thoughtless, Fai is childish, I'm judgmental, Yusha...nothing but a failed abortion. Everyone despised Yusha, he came out of prison after a GBH sentence, but he'd committed so many other crimes too like rape and human trafficking. None of us are angels but he stooped to unacceptable lows. He was a sociopath so when he came out of prison he put on a convincing act that he'd changed and Eren's mom Megan gave him a second chance...unfortunately. Nothing we said would change her mind, she trusted Yusha and paid with her life. After Dawed and I had killed them I flew back here and Dawed back to Abha, we've stayed in touch via Lamper and email though. Naia lives in Swansea now with a new girlfriend Rhedyn and Polly is happy with a girl called Kayla. Anyway Dawed has a link to Annwvn so does Polly, I haven't spoke to either of them for a month or so. Stupid the simple things you don't think about, I'll drop them a message see if they've heard anything."
"Please do, I can't take anymore of this." Issa asked, he looked ill.
"I'll just get him to fly over." Ashleigh grinned flipping her cellphone open.
"You're kidding?" Issa half joked.
"No." Ashleigh looked up at him stone faced, a few seconds later Dawed answered.
"Hey Ash how's it going braw?" Dawed asked.
"Want to make another ten grand Lifeblood? Get your helicopter ready, bring Polly."
