Ash's POV

"Sure."I laughed out,then saw his serious expression.He sighed and rubbed his temples.
"I'm being honest Ash,those two guys that punched you and put a bag on your head they're a part of it too.Also in front of these people you absolutely cannot,act like well....yourself."I scoffed and looked away.
"Don't get offended I'm on your side here.In fact I might be the only one who is,besides....never mind."I looked back up at him.
"Look Issac I have to meet with recruiter."I said pushing past him,he grabbed my wrist causing me to face him.
"These people are no joke Ash.Im serious,why the hell would they have an entire security unit if they weren't."I looked at him for a moment before pulling my arm away.I slowly approached him and stared at him frustrated.
"Your out of line."I opened the patio door and walked inside,I was met with several stares.I glanced at each of them,the entire room was silent.
"What?"
They just stared then I saw another familiar face.She emerged from the crowd and looked at me.
"Can we talk?"She asked approaching me,I stepped back and shook my head.I still wore an irritated face.I went to walk away then heard a man clear his throat,I turned to him.There stood a petite man with a beard and greased hair in a black and white suit.He smiled and walked closer,he then rested a hand on my shoulder.I didn't acknowledge it or dare change my facial expression.
"Now why would our guest leave just before we eat?"He asked smiling revealing a silver tooth.He led me to the dining room and the crowd followed.
'Am I about to be sacrificed?!'
He let go of my shoulder and walked to the opposite end of the table and sat down.Everyone else followed suit,he signaled a hand for me to sit down.Sarah had sat at the chair to the left of the end I sat at,Issac sat at the right.They both looked anxious,I pulled out the chair and sat.The table was quiet for a second until the man beside Sarah cleared his throat.
"I don't know about you folks but all that chatter earlier made me rather pecking."This earned a few forced laughs from everyone accept me and the man opposite of me.He gazed at me curiously,he met his stare with perfect posture.He smiled then sat up.
"Where are my manners?Huh?Jed go grab our guest here a drink."The man beside Sarah quickly got up and walked to the kitchen.He stared at him with disgust.
"I don't know what you see in that uptight twat."He said sipping his drink.I couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.He noticed my reaction and laughed as well.
'Maybe tonight won't be too bad.'
"Dad please."I noticed the voice and turned to her confused.She refused my gaze.
'What the fuck?'
"Sorry sweetie,it's just that he's not made for this business.He's too posh and preppy,hell you wear the pants in that relationship."She rubbed her temples,I heard the man walk back in.He sat the bottle next to me and tore off the seal.I handed him my cup and poured it half full.I nodded to him and took a sip,it burned the back of my throat.He sat back down in his seat and kissed Sarah's cheek.I gripped my cup and felt the glass creak under my grip.
'Who the hell does he think he is?'I looked at him smiling around the table.I looked my grip on the cup and downed the rest with no expression.
"Goodness.Ive never seen someone down straight whiskey before an introduction."He laughed out and held his glass up then downed the rest of his own.I cleared my throat.
"So what is this?"
"Dinner."
"No.I mean why was I kidnapped then knocked out,and then put into a suit for some party?I mean I don't know who you people are."He sat his cup down and wiped his mouth.
"Well I suppose the least I could do is say my name.Im Dean Paulson,I'm the head of this little group."I nodded.
"And What is this 'group' exactly?"
"If I told you.Id have to kill you."I laughed slightly.The table was silent I turned to Sarah to see her staring  at me,she quickly looked away.I smirked then looked back at him.
"No but seriously if you tell a soul I will personally kill you."I nodded. "Well then I've introduced myself I guess that means it's your turn."I sat up and leaned forward.
"Ash."
"What?"
"That's my name.Ash."He nodded.
"That stand for something?"I sat back and looked up to him.
"If I told you I'd have to kill you."I sat there in realization of what I just said.
'What the fuck?!?Why would I say that to a Mafia boss?!!He could smoke me right now-'
I broke from that thought when I heard him laughing.I looked up to see him and a few others chuckling and smiling.He pointed to me with a smile.
"I like this one."
'I feel so honored.'
I felt a nudge under the table and looked up to see Issac smiling at me.He gave me a small thumbs up.The rest of dinner went on with playful banter in between individuals.Dean and I spoke mostly about school,and lacrosse.
"Now that's a respectable sport.Unlike golf."He said sipping his drink.
"Ahem.Jed.Ahem."He coughed out causing me to lean my head down laughing along with the rest of the table.I looked to see Sarah hiding a smile behind her napkin.She noticed me and sat the napkin down showing her smirk.I sat up and turned away,I slipped my overcoat off.
'Things have been okay besides the kidnapping part and the getting knocked unconscious part oh yeah also how could I forget the part where I found out Sarah was in a relationship.'
