Somebody To Live For: Book II

Ticking Time Bomb

"Hey, we've been scoping out this house for weeks. Why are we always here?"

"My daughter..."

"Allison?"

"Her friend lives here"

"What kind of friend? And why are we watching them?"

"I've warned her more than once about mingling around with those people. They are not one of us and they never will be"

"What do you plan on doing Greg?"

"I'm going to blow this house up"

"What ? Why? That's arson!"

"Why do you think I brought you along with me?"

"Excuse me?"

"Did you bring it?"

"Bring what Greg?"

"The bomb"

"Are you serious? This is what you had me making the bomb for?"

"I've read your file, you served three years in Iraq, you know about explosives and how they work"

"But... this is someone's house..."

"Relax. Nobody's inside, I just want to send a message, loud and clear"

"Isn't there another way to do this? What if we get caught? Greg we can't go around breaking the law. This isn't right !"

"Did I fail to mention that I know your brother is a petty thief and you're always bailing him out and hiding the files? Would you like me to report that back to our Lieutenant?"

"No... I... don't worry about it.. I'll do it"

They got out of the patrol car, walking around the perimeter of the home, peeking through the windows ensuring nobody was home.

"So what do you want me to do? Start the clock?"

"How long is it?"

"You didn't give me a specific time so I only placed 45 Minutes on"

"That's good enough, start the clock"

Officer Griffin clicked the red button and the countdown started.

The bell rang for the end of final period. Liam and his friends met up with Allison in the courtyard.

"Allison, come here" Stefan called her over and she rolled her eyes, making her way over to him.

To everyone else's knowledge, they were dating. So despite hating him, she had to put up with him or else someone would rat her out.

Stefan was always over dramatic with the PDA, sometimes being very inappropriate with her which made her uncomfortable. He pulled her by the neck, basically digging his nails into her skin, forcing her to kiss him in front of everyone.

"Stefan stop..."

"What's the matter? It's not like we haven't had sex or anything"

His statement made everyone's eyes open wide and mouth dropped. He was clearly being blatantly disrespectful, but he didn't care.

Allison pushed him off of her and slapped him but he laughed it off.

"Stefan stop being a jerk!"

"Only thing I need jerked right now is my dick"

Liam and his friends saw what was happening. He went storming over to Allisons side. "Stop being a sick pervert!" He pushed Stefan down making him fall back.
