Underground

Chapter 19

We eat our dinner and go straight to bed that night, but not before I check the apartment door 10 times just to make sure its locked.

You never know!

Now I'm awake and trying to figure out a plan to get to frank and make it seem like he committed suicide.

I think making it look like he committed suicide would be the best option.

It would never come back to me or Caden because we have Travis to make sure we get everything set up right.

We just have to make sure he is alone.

I hear a shatter in the kitchen which immediately shakes me out my thoughts.

The Fuck!

Pulling my 45 out from underneath my bedside table, I get out of bed and slowly walk toward the door.

Taking off safety, I relax my finger on the side of the gun, not on the trigger just yet.

Opening my door very carefully I pop my head out into the hallway to see if I see anything moving.

Once I check and see nothing moving I step out and slowly walk to the end of the hall that opens up to the living room.

The lights are on in the kitchen but the sliding doors are closed and I can't see in.

Walking to the opening I listen and hear footsteps.

I swing around to where I'm in the door frame with my gun up and pointing it at the intruder.

Or so I think!

Yeah, it's just Coach making a bowl of Frosted Flakes.

"God Damn Coach, you scared the hell out of me."

Apparently I scared him to because he jumped about a mile in the air and went on defense mode about to punch me.

He stopped him self short realizing it was just me.

"Shit Kasey."

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. I just heard something crash in here."

He sighs and looks down at the ground.

I do the same and see what he's seeing, glass shattered everywhere on the floor.

"I didn't mean to wake you up I was trying to make me some cereal but dropped the bowel."

"It's fine, let's just clean it up before you step in it and cut your foot."

I place my gun on the counter and walk over to the closet that has the broom and vacuum.

Grabbing the broom and vacuum I bring both back In the kitchen and start to sweep up the mess.

Caden plugs the vacuum in and goes behind me making sure to get every bit of glass off the floor.

Don't want anybody to get a piece in their foot.

Just thinking about it makes my feet hurt.

Once all the glass is up I decide since I'm up might as well have some cereal.

I make my bowl and sit on the bar stool next to Coach.

"You thought somebody broke in." Coach mumbles.

I nod my head a take a big bite of my frosted flakes .

"I'm sorry that I scared you."

"It's ok, I'm just glad it was you."

He nods his head and pats my thigh.

Trying to seem as though his touch didn't effect me, I go back to my cereal .

We finish the rest of our bowls in complete silence.

I get up and take our bowls into the kitchen and rinse them out  before placing them in the dishwasher.

Turning around I pick up my gun and walk back over toward Coach.

Placing a kiss to his cheek I say a good night and head back to my room.

Putting my gun back where it was, I go use the bathroom before sliding underneath the now cold covers.

Turning my tv on I lower down the volume but still to where I can listen to the show.

Watching (Mom) for about 5 minutes there's a knock at my door.

It opens and Caden's head pops in.

I don't ask what he wants he just walks to the other side of the bed and gets underneath the covers.

He pulls me into him to where my head is in the crook of his neck.

We don't talk just lay down in the bed and watch the show.

After so long I get tired and close my eyes.

Before I completely drift off into sleep i fill a pair of warm lips kiss my forehead.

A small smile tugs at my lips and before I know it I'm a sleep.
