ᴀssᴇʀᴛɪᴏɴ (On Hold)

Chapter 9

Whoever the tall man was, he walked towards the girls who cowered on the floor naked.

Men in black overalls trooped in after him, invading the living room. He bent down in front of them and smirked. "So which one of yous belong to Black cos I know the other belongs to the twins."

Neither of the girls spoke.

"C'mon, make this easy for me. I don't wanna kill you," he twirled the gun around his thumb.

"Bitch." Viridian spat.

"Not the time to be brave, my dear."

"Ain't trying to be brave," she glared at him. "Dian," Danica grabbed Viridian's arm and whispered in an attempt to shut her up.

The man sighed.

He touched the tip of the gun to Danica's forehead making her squeal in fear, feeling the cold metal of the gun touch her forehead. "Still trying to be brave?" He smirked at Viridian who said nothing. She could only pass him a deathly stare.

"Pretty ladies," he whispered. "I wanna taste both of y–"

Gunshots from outside interrupted him.

He stood up and muttered something to himself just as some unknown men approached. They shot everyone standing except the lanky man. The man sighed and dragged Danica up, placing the gun at the side of her head.

The twins approached first. Leon was shirtless while Keon's shirt was unbuttoned, leaving his toned abs on display. They glared at the man holding Danica captive. Furthermore, they stared at Danica from head to toe and then gritted their teeth.

"Why the fuck are you naked?" Leon growled.

"Did he touch you?" Keon scrutinized.

"Not yet," the man snickered.

Tristan then walked in. He had on a black tee and small shorts. "You know this guy?" Leon asked Tristan, still not taking his eyes off the gun pointed at Danica's head.

"Kinda," Tristan muttered also taking in Viridian's naked body.

"So we-they in this shit because of you?" Keon looked at him.

"Nigga don't even put this shit on me. If your dumb ass didn't sell Dominick's products, this whole shit wouldn't be happening." Tristan spat back.

"That's right, boys. I'm here to send a warning to you from Dom and I found these two gorgeous ladies." He whispered in Danica's ear.

From behind, Viridian kicked him hard in the balls. The man yelled in pain letting go of Danica and the gun immediately. Viridian picked up the gun as the girls ran away from him and towards the boys.

"Shit," he cursed, grabbing his crotch.

He had forgotten there was a lady behind him or probably thought the lady was harmless since he was the one with a gun.

Leon hugged Danica to his chest immediately while Tristan hugged Viridian to his chest. "Baby girl, close your eyes," he muttered and Viridian did as she was told.

The man laughed. "They don't know, do they?"

Before the man could get another word in, Leon and Tristan covered the girls' ears and a gun materialized out of Keon's back pocket.

The man widened his eyes. "Oh shit,"  he muttered.

Then Keon shot him. He fell with a thud before Keon passed the gun to one of the men standing with them.

"Hmmm, Dom sent an incompetent fool."

He then passed his shirt to Leon who gave it to Danica to put on. Tristan also took off his tee and gave it to Viridian. "So who wanna explain why you was both naked?" Tristan looked from one girl to another.

The girls exchanged looks and said nothing. "You fucking each other?" Leon raised an eyebrow.

"What? NO." The girls said together.

"But on a more serious note," Viridian began, resting her back on Tristan's chest and wrapping his arms around her. "What just happened?" She looked around.

Danica also turned in Leon's arms. "Yeah, who killed that man?" She pointed at the man on the floor.

"Really, that's what you're worried about? Nigga just tried to kill you." Leon rolled his eyes.

"You killed him?" Danica almost gasped.

"Let's go upstairs," Keon said instead as the men cleared the dead bodies away.

"Wait, the police. They're going t–" Viridian began as they walked into the second living room upstairs.

"They're going to nothing."

"Wh–Tristan, what is going on?" Tristan sighed.

"Yeah, we deserve an explanation,"  Danica added.

The twins sighed. "It was just business gone wrong. The nigga downstairs was trying to steal something from the house and then found you," Tristan explained.

"So you deal with dangerous people?"

"We sell guns, what is you expecting?" Keon rolled his eyes in a duh tone.

"Who were those guys that came in before you?"

"Our guards."

"Why do you have so many gu–You know what, never mind. So one of them killed the man downstairs," Danica said in a questioning tone.

"Something like that."

"But what about the police and neighbors?"

"With the plots of land of the courtyard surrounding the house, I doubt anyone gon hear the sounds of guns and even if they did, nobody cares."

"What?"

Tristan sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I need to run an upgrade on the security system."

"Yeah, the thing was too damn slow to notify us," Keon added.

"So why was you naked?" Leon asked Danica, still not letting it go.

Danica rolled her eyes. "I was sore okay? my whole body was sore."

Leon stared at her before the sides of his mouth picked up. "Yeah, we didn't finish that business earlier, did we?"

"What part of I am sore do you not understand?" Danica squinted her eyes at him.

In reply to her question, Leon picked her up. "Fine, let us eat you out and then we run you a bath."

"TMI," Tristan glared at Leon who was already walking away with Danica.

Keon kissed his teeth. "I'm gonna leave now," he announced then left.

Tristan turned to look at Viridian who immediately pulled his head down for a kiss. He grabbed the shirt in each of his hands and deepened the kiss.

When they broke apart, Viridian smacked the back of his head. "Oww. What the fuck?" He scowled at her, rubbing his head and she huffed in reply.

"I'm still mad at you."
