A teenager, Harper Hollick, has currently removed herself from the upper-class group due to a situation that triggered her flight, leaving her to be left alone. But she quickly found herself with outcasts, the lower class, except now they've found t...
Along with this money obsession, made him ask where he could get more. More money meant more time and more fixing what was already demolished, and unrepairable.
He found a good offer. A gang by the railroads told him about this huge necessity that was going on around the town. People were looking for drugs and at this point, they would take anything and everything. Andrew asked why and the man who offered this deal to him told him a big group of sellers had been caught and arrested. He told Andrew that he could make "big bank" if he started the business back up by himself. It was risky, Andrew knew, it was gonna be hard, but it would be worth it.
The man took Andrew by his shoulder for most of the starting process. Andrew asked why this man wouldn't do it all for himself.
The man argued, "I have a family that I have to feed, protect and care for. They can't make it without me. If something were to happen to me...hell, I don't even want to think about it."
Andrew took that in for a few minutes, reconsidering doing any of it due to his little girl at home. But he only commented back, "I don't have a family. Not anymore."
They continued on, Andrew started with a few stashes of drugs he'd bought from another state, and he slowly started gaining more and more money throughout the months. Months grew into years and by then he started up his private property for storage. He gained trucks and employees, including a manager, Raymond Spaulding.
He was well known for his thick accent and his designation was a good place for someone like him, especially a good role for someone like Andrew, Raymond could keep him calm. But Andrew liked and disliked that relaxedness sometimes.
Later Andrew gained a bigger and better house because the orders were traveling from Alaska and spreading all around the U.S., even across the planet.
Andrew was living the life now. He was wealthy and labeled as a massive drug dealer, his daughter put right alongside him through all of it. With all the money, all of the success, came more danger. More danger meant more protection over his achievements. Protecting could mean killing, bombing, or kidnapping.
And Alice would see it all. He made her watch the bad guys die. She would always try to close her eyes when they watched through a one-way mirror as a man with a gun exploded a bad guy's head and filled one side of the room with blood, but Andrew took her hands away. It went on like that until she became less phased by it, there was a point where the sound gave her no reaction. Soon she woke up and realized she was acting that way, acting like it wasn't a problem for her.
She woke up more when she'd seen her father wiping tears from his eyes in his bathroom mirror after he'd killed the father of that innocent family. She knew then he wasn't who he acted to be either.
Out of the blue, the orders were gaining popularity in a certain area, Brookings. So that's where Andrew headed, still keeping most things at the home base but he considered it would be easier to sell them if he was closer to the area for just a few years until the orders died down. He bought a crappy little warehouse to keep the supplies in, for the time being, brought in a few transport trucks, and bought a house in the center of the northern suburbs to live in.
Alice attended the school and quickly became friends with everyone. People always thought she was pretty but once she started taking her first few bags of weed from her father's warehouse, passing them around to them for free, they found her even prettier. She handed out more, different drugs, pills, and money if she could. She became everyone's secret little hatch who everyone wanted to be friends with.
One of her friends invited her to go with her on that summer vacation to the water park resort. She made the plan to sneak up on that rooftop and have a little party. That's when she met Jackson and things started changing.
They did become friends afterwards, he was a great listener, and she was able to talk freely without him interrupting. She liked it. She always wanted someone like him, someone to speak to and listen to her side of the story instead of whatever her father dismantled and kept quiet.
She didn't think much more of Jackson for many months. But as she went on talking, it was like she'd never stop. And as anyone would, Jackson became slightly annoyed. It was annoying because all she ever talked about was her father, my dad this, my dad that. Jackson was already stressed from the pressure of his family and his current girlfriend, Harper, that keeping up with Alice's family wasn't pleasant. He called her out on her blabbering and she apologized but it didn't seem to be enough for him.
Alice came to a breaking point. Who else would let her talk about her crappy life every day? Who else would listen? She knew he was the only one who was capable and she knew what she was capable of doing about it.
Just a few weeks before she was caught taking the drugs, she drew him back the only way she could. She took him all for herself, compelling him with her words, looks, and actions.
She couldn't let him go. Like father, like daughter.
Once Andrew found out she was stealing, he banned her from stepping foot in there again, and that's when she decided to make the plan. She never thought of how sleeping with him would affect anything until Jackson grew some guilt and wanted Harper to join their plan. She asked him why and he said he still loved Harper. It made her angry of course, but including her would mean more help, more backup. She agreed and told him they'd talk over everything after they kill her father.
...
On an evening during a weekday, a young boy, Landon Wester, made use of his boring evening by taking a bike ride around town, scoping out some places for fun. He met a tall warehouse that screamed his interest, he snuck in, expecting it to be a large hollow piece of metal and wood. But it was packed with suspense because it wasn't empty at all, there were towers of shelves filled with boxes. Landon was still intrigued to explore since there were no bodies. He found the office upstairs with no people but full of papers. As he looked through them he started to realize this was something bad, something not allowed. He knew he was in trouble. So he fled. But just before he was about to make the run past the office door, Andrew found him running out and caught him.
...
Harper wasn't so happy with the elements of the plan so she left. Jackson lost all hope and Alice was able to sweep him right back under her arms.
Alice has many reasons to kill her father, he gave her plenty. But it wasn't just his actions, it was the effect he had on her life, she was broken, she'd seen all the wrong things. He mutilated her mind to make her feel okay around murder and torcher. The sorrow of her never seeing her mother, never knowing or feeling her mother, was never revived from underneath. That's why she doesn't cry over her because she never got to know her, Andrew never told her anything but how she died, and death was nothing new to her.
