Lucky

Chapter 3: Chase

"Please no! Leave me alone, I'll give you anything!" I sit in the CEO of The Banks incorporation's chair and spin my knife on my finger tip. I watch amused as John Banks tries to crawl towards the drawer where I know he hides his gun. I've already stabbed him a few times so he's fairly weak. He smears blood over the white marble tiles as he very slowly makes his way to the draw.

"For fucks sake" I say under my breathe and get up, he flinches but I just walk past him and open the draw myself, I get the gun for him and chuck it On the floor by his head.

He looks at me confused as I go back to the brown leather chair and pour some whiskey into the crystal glass he has on his desk. He holds the gun up to me with shaking hands, I raise an eyebrow and lean back.

"I'm a busy man John, shoot me or don't, make a decision" his hand wavers and he places the gun gently on the floor, fear flashes in his eyes when I get up with my glass of whiskey and stand over him.

"Why are you doing this?" He whispers hoarsely and I shrug.

"Because someone payed me to" he flinches when I crouch next to him and run the blade of my dagger along his jaw.

"Who? It's the only thing I ask, please tell me who so I can pass on in peace" he cries out desperately and I roll my eyes. I'm killing him and he's acting like it's an audition for some kind of drama show.

"Guess you'll just have to die in restlessness then" I say and plunge my dagger into his heart, he lifts his back from the floor when I twist the blade in his chest and I watch as the life drains from his eyes. I lift the crystal glass to my lips and pour the amber liquid down my throat, it's warm sensation filling me as I stand up and leave the office.

I dial a number and wait patiently for the person to pick up.

"E 'fatto" (it's done)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hand my keys to the valet and walk into the lobby of my apartment building, I scan my card and ride the elevator up to my pent house. I go into the kitchen and make a sandwich, I can't cook for shit so my dinner most night is microwaved or incredibly easy to make. Fucking hell I miss my mums cooking.

My phone rings and I look at it, it's a FaceTime from Oakley Knightly, I sigh in annoyance and press the decline button. I take a bite of my ham and lettuce sandwich and look through a file on the man I'm supposed to kill this week.

My phone rings again 10 seconds later and I decline it once more. It pings with a message and then continues to ping as Oakley messages me pick me up repeatedly. For fucks sake.

I pick up so he'll go away and when I look to the camera I see someone's ear. What the fuck?

"Hello....Chase are you there?" I groan and lean back on the stool running a hand down my face.

"Mum, what have I told you before, just call me from your phone" my mum has this habit of forgetting her password. I tell her to write it down but she tells me that's she isn't dory and she doesn't need memory help.

"I would but I forgot my password" I roll my eyes and she starts rambling to me about something. She insists on calling me four times a week, so,e times I get lucky and my dad manages to distract her with something but clearly not this time. It's not that I don't love my mum, trust me I do but when I talk to her on the phone she goes on for fucking forever and I can't keep up with a word she says.

"Mum, it's a FaceTime-.....no hold it away from your ear...-"

"But I can't hear you then sweetie" she says sounding baffled and I hear Oakley come into the room.

"It's called a FaceTime Bea, get it....Face time" he takes the phone from my mum and smiles at me. Why's everyone so happy. Jesus Christ it's giving me a headache.

"Look chase" he waves a metal rectangle in front of the camera and i hum "I got a harmonica"

"Why?"

"Good question.....I don't really know" ok then.

"I want the phone back" my mum says and I see Oakley put it above his head.

"It's my phone"

"It my son"

"Call him from your phone then" not this shit again.

"I forgot my password" my mum says sheepishly and the phone is yanked from oakleys grasp and my dads face comes into view.

"Ahh my boy! How are you" I nod and he passes the phone down to my mum and kisses her cheek.

Elliot knightly's wife comes on the screen, Ophelia, and then his twin brother Matteo's wife arrives, Nyx. They both wave at me and I nod at them to and my head drops onto the marble counter in aggravation when the whole fucking family starts shouting in Italian and trying to fit their heads in the frame.

I see clovers little head of brown hair below everyone else's and she squeezes her way to the front and her eyes come right into the camera, I can hear her breathing.

"Hi Chase!" She squeals and I cringe, she's always so happy it's odd.

"Dinners ready!" I hear indigo shout and I sigh in relief. I go to hang up but clover picks up the phone from what I'm guessing is the sofa where Oakley dropped it at the promise of food.

"Why aren't you here?" She asks and sits cross legged on the white carpeted floor.

"Didn't want to be there"I say and move to hang up yet again but her quiet voice stops me from doing so, she sounds sad for once and it irks me.

"But you're eating all alone" I look down to my half finished sandwich and back to the phone I'm confusion.

"That's correct" I say and she frowns.

"Why do you look like that?" I ask and she looks back up to me.

"Because it's sad that you're alone, are you sad? I'm sure you are" im not "what have you eaten?" She asks just as I take a bite from my Sandwich. She gasps and gets up.

"This won't do" she mutters to herself and I see her go into the kitchen and tie an apron around her waist with a cupcake on the front of it.

"What are you doing?" I ask and scroll through some emails.

"Making you some proper dinner" my ears perk up at the thought of a home made meal but I shake my head.

"No I'm ok" I say but she shakes her head defiantly and gets a pot out from the cubboard.

"You're all alone and eating whatever....that is" she says pointing to my sandwich and pulling a face "I don't like it when people eat alone it makes me sad"

"Well I like it, please don't come over"

"I'm coming over" for fucks sake.

"I'll be there in half an hour, stop eating that thing please" she smiles at me and I groan, fucking great.
