chapter 37

"And I find it pathetic and quite frankly desperate" I couldn't help but smile at his expression- and It was hard to control my laughter- Jason lowers his gun and sat back in his seat looking out the window and I did the same...

Our flight was less excruciating because Jason wasn't saying dumb jokes anymore and Ava spent her fair share of time inside the bathroom throwing up. I can only assume from the jet lag...Riley handed me a bag that had a few handguns inside and a load of cash she was expecting me to make do with, Since it'll just be Ava and I...But I can't help but wonder what She and Jason will be doing while I'm away- Doing God knows what

The Plane Landed and we all came off- Did a few driving to a hotel...Before she left us...Leaving Ava and me alone. 

" Should we get some rest?" She asks trying to fill the silence, It is pretty late, 10:21 pm...I glance out the window seeing more lights turn on and more cars running. " I think we should, and maybe grab some food while we're at it?" 

"Yeah, I'll go buy some for us" As I turn to look back, she appears to be shivering with her arms crossed, while wearing a tight white long-sleeved crop top and a tight skirt that extends down to her knees...She looks nice. I walk to the door holding the cold doorknob but not opening- taking another glance at her.

"Come with me" 

"Is everything okay?" She asks, and picks up her coat and slips it on  her body i...

I just don't want you out of my sight.

"Everything is fine Love, Just come with me" This is pathetic, Me? can't live without this girl?

She extends her hand waiting for me to take it into mine...

Bullshit! I-...I won't.

We walk down the street together my head buried in my phone trying to find the local corner store...There are so many people here, everywhere I look... there are people and It's all Jason's fault...She squeezes my hand tighter and I glance at her and she seems to be nervous about something

"You all right?"

" I feel overdressed" She admits, Oh well as long as she isn't dying It isn't my problem...I glaze around some more and stop- Finally, there's one...the dimly lit sign above the door casting a soft glow on the sidewalk. As I push open the door, a small bell rings, announcing my arrival.

The air inside is cool and quiet, with only the faint hum of the refrigerator in the corner breaking the silence. 

"Get something you like okay?" This is embarrassing my woman shouldn't have to be eating this cheap food...I shook my head something is going on with me...I scan the shelf grabbing some sleeping pills and some cheap ass noodles- but wait...There's no microwave in the hotel...I sat the noodles back. 

How am I going to find the biggest gang here? Ava came stepping over beside me, holding a plate of food on a white-to-go plate

"That's all you want?" I ask, Looking at the plat up and down, She smiles and says 

"Yep"       

"Shit" Running my fingers through my hair

"What's wrong? talk to me" She nudges, What will you do? I walk past her to the cashier, and she follows and put the food on the shelf-

" 5.23" He spoke, Before I could hand him the money some men came inside, 3 of them exactly...They look the same, All wearing baggy clothes but only one came wearing a blue hat "5.23" the cashier repeats. I took out the money slapping it in his wrinkled palm, Before the men start whistling and whispering to one another while looking over here, More specifically at Ava.
