The Law

Ten.

- Joshua Williams -

I walk into my house, the steel door banged against the front wall, and made a clanging sound, I have never in my life heard of that sound, someone had to be here. I do remember the first time I have ever heard that before, and it was when Aaron beat my ass, and he was in my house and I heard that right before he punches me square in the face.

I get ready to cover my face and instantly turn, no one, maybe it was just a fluke? I check the whole house and nobody was here, nothing was missing, so then I think to myself maybe I do need to get that door fixed. 

I turn the corner to my living room and I see a tall figure in a leather jacket, and it is Aaron standing in front of me. I jump back and unholster my pistol, pulling it out and pointing it at him. He doesn't even flinch he just chuckled.

"Dont shoot that weapon, boy."

I quickly holster my weapon and stare at him, of course, my face was still a little bruised from the beating I had gotten days before this. I look at him then grab a beer out from the fridge.

"You need something?" I ask, with a raised eyebrow.

"You're brother's been worried sick about you. He came to me, I found you. Don't worry. I'm not going to hit you this time."

I chuckle and crack open the beer, taking a swig from it.

"My brother can take care of himself."

"Yeah, me and you both know that, JJ. But, me and Julian know, that you can't take care of yourself, and based off of your face. I see that I need to step into whatever happened to that pretty little face of yours, mind telling me what happened?"

I shake my head and walk to my room, closing and locking it behind me. I wait to hear his voice again, but I don't all I hear is the front door shut. I sigh and wonder about what he's going to do, I haven't seen him in almost a year and I just shut him out like that? I get out of my room and run out of the house to Aaron.

"Wait!" I yell, he gets out of his mustang and walks over to me.

"JJ, you and I both know your dad would not want you in this business. I want you out."

I shake my head. "It isn't that easy, you know, it's harder to get out then in sometimes."

"JJ!! You're out when Colt Miller is dead, you flee the country and you go to Europe, live a new life with Julian."

"What about Lucas?" 

"Lucas is a god damn lost cause. His father is abusive with both his mother and him, Lucas is already out of the business he is basically just our torture."

"Lucas is apart of my family, if I go, he goes. He's my brother full way."

"Fine, you take him as well, now you tell me who did this to you."

"Simon Miller, Colt Millers older brother, apparently they have another brother Theo, he could be the most dangerous of the two, but Simon cut me up and beat me pretty badly, I was at Colt's house. His fiancee I guess set me up."

Aaron nodded and got into his mustang, speeding off down the road. I sigh, go inside and sit down. Ready to message my brother.
