Opposites Attract - C.Dallas

Surprisingly, I woke up in peace. I stretched my arms out and felt my spine click; which felt good. I turned and expected to see Maisie. She wasn't in the bed. I turned back around and reached for my phone that was on the nightstand. I unlocked my phone and checked the time.

My eyes widened. It was 1.30pm. I slept for ages! Why didn't anybody wake me up?! I quickly got up and picked up a few clothes and headed into the bathroom.

*****

I applied the last coat of mascara. I put my mascara back in the make up bag. I looked at myself in the mirror. Scotts hand marks were bruised on my neck.

That prick.

I shook my head to forget about yesterday's incident and headed to the nightstand. I grabbed my phone and walked out of the room, making my way downstairs.

I finally got downstairs and headed into the living room. Everyone was sitting down on the couch, watching the news. The nightclub was on breaking news.

"Morning." I said, distracting the guys.

"Afternoon." They all said back sarcastically.

"Whatever." I muttered.

I made my way to the kitchen. I could hear footsteps from behind.

"What do you want?" I harshly asked.

"I need to ask you something." The familiar voice replies.

I turn around and look at him straight in the eyes.

"Go ahead." I demand.

"We need you back Ciara. We've been assigned to lots of cases and so far we've been unsuccessful!" Cameron explains.

"Cameron, you have plenty of good guns, just shoot them. It's that simple. Your clever enough to do that sh*t." I said.

"I may have good guns, but I don't have enough people to help me out and to use them." He said.

"Am I that important for your use?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"Yes." He confidently replied.

I sighed and gave up. I can't go back on what I said to him before. I said I'd help him if he's in serious trouble.

"When do I start?"

*****

"Don't tell mum what Scott did to you." I sternly said to Maisie.

"I'm not stupid and don't tell me, 'go along with the story'. I know what to say." She sassed back.

"Damn girl." I murmured.

I parked the car on mum and dads driveway. We both stepped out of the car and headed towards the door. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Seconds later, the door swung open revealing a stressed looking mother.

"Maisie! Where were you last night?" She asked staring at Maisie, deep through her eyes.

"I was round Ciara's. Sorry I didn't inform you. I was just stressed from all of the home works I've been assigned. I asked Ciara if she could help and she kindly said yes." Maisie explained.

"I then let her stay round because it was getting late." I but in.

"Hmm." Mum hummed, looking between me and Maisie, not knowing if she should believe us.

She then sighed. I guess this means that she believes us?

"Come in girls." She said and walked back into the house.

I followed Maisie and shut the door from behind. Maisie looked at me and I smirked. She hates lying to mum but this had to be done.

"You bad bad girl." I chuckled.

"Whatever." She muttered and went upstairs.

I walked to the living room and saw mum working on her laptop.

"Where's dad?" I asked.

"He's on a mission sweetie." She replied.

"Whats he been assigned for?" I ask.

"He's in Russia. He'll be taking out a man named Vladimir Schwarzkopf (the shampoo brand😂) and his gang." Mum answered.

"They've been embedding money illegally, as well as stealing expensive cars to sell off. The money they make with it, is used to buy drugs and sell them illegally from country to country." Mum continued.

"He sounds like a tosser." I scoff.

Tosser = Wanker (but in a harsh way).

"He is. I just hope your father comes back in one piece." Mum says with hope.

"He will do mum. Don't you worry." I assure her.

"So, hows life treating you?" Mum asked.

"Life is being harsh to me." I sigh.

"Whats happened?" Mum asked.

Here I go..

*****

"That bastard! Im going to kill him." Mum swore.

"Mum! Leave him to me." I exclaimed.

"Im going to help you." She said.

"How?" I asked dumbfounded.

"I chipped your phone a while ago so I can track your every move. If you do wish to find Ray's gang and settle this argument, I can always bring back up without needing your location." Mum explained.

"I'll call you when I find out further details." I said.

She nodded her head in approval.

"Ive got stuff to do mum. I'll see you soon." I bid her goodbye.

"Ciara!" She called out, making me turn my head around.

"Just tell me the truth next time. I know where you both were last night." She smirked.

My mouth was left wide open. How the fu-?! Oh yeah.. she tracked my phone. Clever woman.
