Wraith (BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter Thirty Four

After 4 hours of driving we finally arrive in San Francisco and get settled in our room. Kate and I are sharing a bed while Mick and Emi share the other.

"Ok what are we doing first?" Emi asks, unzipping her suitcase. We all look at each other in question.

"I vote for pier 39," Mick says finally. I nod In agreement.

"Alright bet," Kate says with a smile. We all head back down to the street, deciding to call an Uber. The driver picks us up and drops us off right by fisherman's warf.

"Thank you!" We all day in unison as we get out of the car. The guy simply nods.

"Ok I'm starving soooo. Food," I say.

"Agreed, I didn't eat lunch today," Mick mumbled.

"I don't think any of us did," Emi laughs. We decided to go to one of the restaurants on the pier.

We walked into the surf restaurant, it had bright colors, pictures of fish and a sculpture of a surfer outside.

"What are y'all getting?" Kate asks, looking over the menu.

"Hmm, I'm craving fish and chips," I responded, placing my menu down.

"I'm gonna get clam chowder," Kate replies.

"I think I'm gonna do the fish and chips too," Emi says.

"I want to try the coconut shrimp," Mick says after a minute of looking over her menu. We order our food then continue casual conversation. Mostly about school.

"So wait, where did Greyson go? You said he left yesterday." Mick asked, taking a sip of her drink.

"Um he had to go help an associate in New York with some project." I replied. Kate's eyes snapped up at the mention of New York.

"Did he say who his associate was?" She asked. I shook my head.

"No, just that he needed help with business." I responded. Kate's gaze fell to the table and she sighed. Ok, that's it.

"Kate what is it?" I asked, Mick and Emi watching closely. She sighed again then looked between the 3 of us.

"My boss," she started, "Luke, runs a mafia out of New York." My jaw dropped to the table. Emi froze and Mick laughed.

"That's funny Kate," Mick said, patting her shoulder.

"I don't think she's joking." Emi cut in, looking at Kate. I shook my head.

"Something happened and he sent me back here. He told me he was going to request help from an ally of his." She continued.

"Greyson," I muttered and she nodded. "Kate what is he walking into?" I asked, she shook her head.

"A shit storm." She mumbled. "These dudes don't mess around."

"Nico went with him," Emi mumbled.

"Ok, hold the phone," Mick cuts in, "You guys are talking about the mafia like it's nothing." I forgot that Mick never left California. I didn't know Kate was involved in something similar but Mick has absolutely no idea what's happening.

So I started explaining everything. I told her how Greyson is The Grim Reaper, and showed her articles. Emi told her about Nico and Kate told all of us about Luke.

He is an American mafia leader based out of New York. She didn't know it when she started working for him. He's apparently closely allied with Greyson and Nico. At least that's what I assumed when Kate said he has close ties with two Italian Dons.

"So you two are dating mafia leaders," Mick points at Emi and I, "And you work for one." She points to Kate. We all silently nodded.

She sighed, leaning back into her seat. Just then the food came out, we all looked at each other before looking back at Mick who in turn glanced between the three of us.

"What?" she asked, seeming genuinely confused at our questioning looks.

"You're not going to react?" Emi asks bluntly.

"I'm still processing," Mick replies.

We all silently eat our food then out of nowhere Mick drops her shrimp tail.

"Oh my God, you guys are affiliated with mafia leaders!" she whisper yells. "That's bad right?! But it's cool."

We all looked at her in shock before bursting out into laughter.

We answered any questions she had and by the end of it she was ok with the whole thing. Though she has obvious reservations about the killing people part.

We finished eating and spent the rest of the evening walking around then Uber back to the hotel.

"We should find a club," Kate says with a smirk.

"None of us are 21," Mick said.

"We did it in Italy, we can just use our fakes." Emi shrugs.

"I'm gonna sit this one out, I'm tired," I said, plopping onto bed.

"Oh come on," Emi pokes my leg, "it'll be fun." I groaned, shoving my face into the pillow.

"Are you sick or something you never say no to a night out," Kate said, sitting next to me.

"No, I'm just tired. I didn't fall asleep until like 3 and then I drove us here," I explained.

"I bet I can guess why you didn't get to sleep," Emi muttered. I threw a pillow at her.

"I'm gonna stay too," Mick says, plopping into her bed.

"Fine, but we're going out tomorrow night, no excuses," Kate says, pointing a finger at the three of us. I nodded, dropping my head back onto the pillow.

The other two settled in as well, Kate laying down with me and Emi with Mick.

"Goodnight bitches, love y'all," I mumbled.

"Goodnight!" They all responded.

I'll try to update tomorrow. xoxo
