Mafia Only Goes One Direction

BOOOM!!!

I snap up and look around. It is storming, it is dark. I do not like this. Another loud sound of thunder makes itself noticed. I flinch and start to cry. I hate thunderstorms. As the tears run down my face, I feel someone move. I notice that Liam is sleeping next to me. Everyone else must have left. I sniffle and wake him up. He looks at me and then engulfs me in a tight hug.

"What's wrong bud?" He asks gently. It starts to thunder again. I shake and flinch at the loud sounds. "Oh, you are scared of the storm. It is okay, you are safe here," he says gently. He calms me down, but there was no way I am going back to sleep. Once he falls asleep, I climb off the bed and quietly leave the room. I check my phone and notice that at the next concert, I would have to make my move. Time to start planning.

If I keep my blue bag on me, I won't have to leave them like last time. No need for them to question me right? Then if I can figure out how to switch from two-year-old to business mode fast, I could leave them last minute. Perfect! Now if I take two PST pills, it should switch my personality faster.

"Jo?" Someone says, snapping me out of my thoughts. I look up and see a very sleepy Zayn. "What are you doing out here by yourself bubba?" He asks. Think fast, Jo. Food! You want food! I point to the fridge and look up at him. "You're hungry? Okay, how about we eat some apple sauce and drink some water?" He says. He is clearly just trying to be a parent, but once the whole "You were dead, but here you are" thing wears off, he will be making ice cream and pizza.

I nod up at him. He picks me up, which catches me a bit off guard. "Sorry bud, didn't mean to startle you," he says softly. He gets the food and hands it to me. I eat the apple sauce, it was not that bad for the dollar store brand. Though, I did grow up eating this stuff. He hands me water in a sippy cup. Since when did they have all this toddler stuff?

"Okay, bud, back to bed with you. Want to sleep with me and SiSi?" He asks. I nod excitedly. I miss spending time with SiSi, that's what I call Sierra when I'm little. He carries me to a room where Sierra has stolen the whole bed. Zayn chuckles lightly and scoots her over. He lays me down next to Sisi, then lays down next to me. I feel safe. It is like sleeping in between your parents after a nightmare.

I fall asleep decently fast after that. When I wake up, someone is carrying me. I am wearing stiff clothes. I do not like it, so I whine. "Hey buddy, sorry, we have an interview so you had to wear a suit," Harry says, hoisting me up so that I am sitting on his hip.

It isn't like I will be in the interview. Ugh, I want food. I start pouting and was going to throw a temper tantrum, but I notice my target. Dammit, now I have to just deal with it. "He looks like he is going to go off on someone," Liam says, sounding uneasy.

"Oh he is, I know that look anywhere," Sierra says, stepping back. "Well I don't want to get bit, what do I do with him?" Harry says, now scared. "Set him down gently and back away," Sierra says calmly. Harry does as she says. I storm off, giving me the perfect opportunity to complete the mission.

I walk into a room and see Lorenzo Mannino, my target. They think they are so slick, but I see right through them. All these crime families pretend to be management so they can travel the world while staying hidden. They chose the wrong band to travel with.

I walk over to him, I must still look angry because of how he was acting. "Hey, little buddy, why do you seem so mad?" He asks. He is more of a fake than my high school math teacher's nose. "Say goodbye Lorenzo," I say in the deepest, darkest voice ever to be heard as I slit his throat with my knife.

I watch as he dies, the shock on his face. Hmm, no goons? I guess I will have to deal with them later. I call up the clean-up team and message my boss to let him know I finished the job. I notice a cut on my arm and a knife in Lorenzo's hand. He was quick, but not quick enough. The clean-up team does their job and leave.
