Night life~

Chapter 27~

A couple of days had passed and it was rather quiet, a little too quiet some might think. When Valeria went to get the medical kit the other night, she had advised Pietri to be on high alert from now which is exactly what was going on at the Pit. Work has been the same, another one of their girls was sold and another came to take her place. It was as if nothing changed. That morning, just across from the city at the old warehouse. A certain individual was already awake, planning and building his strength. He knew his target and he needed him dead for what he did to his former boss.

  That same morning, Valeria woke up with a headache enough that it made her groan in pain "mm.. why now.." she whispered to herself, pinching the bridge of her nose trying to reduce the pressure.

When Valeria woke, Az wouldn't be in bed. After checking her phone, she saw a text from him. "~Went to the warehouse to prep. Mikey be there soon. Love you~" 

At the warehouse, Az was walking through the various containers that were there. It was teeming with his men, all arming themselves with guns, melee weapons, and the like. He had packed only one gun himself, his father's magnum, and wore a Kevlar vest under his jacket. He wore looser-fitting jeans, a tee, and a black leather jacket.

While Pietri was guarding the Pit with Valeria, Jakob had gone with Az to the warehouse to help inspect and arm the hit squads. Walking alongside him, Jakob spoke out calmly. "This should be an easy operation, Boss. Intel from Damascus shows that they are lightly armed. Nothing more than stragglers. There was one though, no info on him. He's believed to be one of the higher-ranking members." Az nodded in response to Jakob's assessment before checking his watch. It was already 2 PM. "Ain't no way we lose this, Jakob. Clean the fuckers out, and burn the ends."

After she had read the text she replied quickly "~Love you too.. be safe~" She wasn't sure why she wrote the last thing, maybe it was because they'd been together every day since the attack, and Pietri watching over her as well had really brought stress. She flopped herself down on his side, inhaling what little scent was left on the bed sheets. "I should get ready.. I don't wanna leave anywhere, why is Mikey now wanting me out of the house.." she spoke out to herself. This is when she checked her phone, looking over her menstrual cycle and seeing she was now 2 days late. 'great..' she stated without any emotion.

Finally she got herself out of bed. It took about 30 minutes to get herself together. Now it being in the month of August, it had mixed weather and today was surprisingly sunny but with cool air. Enough it was no longer dress season. She settled with some high-platform boots, leggings, one of Az's sweaters, and her hat. She also had a small bag with her toiletries and extra panties.  

Mikey had already arrived and got himself in the building to wait for Valeria, he did text her but she never replied. Finally, he noticed her walking down the stairs but in the moodiest mood he had seen by far "Well, the beast is awake" Mikey spoke out but Valeria flipped him off quickly as she passed him to make it to the car with him in tow.

As Mikey settled himself into the driver's seat and Valeria in the passenger. He sighed "Listen, your boyfriend insisted that I take you out of town for a while. For.. safety."

"I'd rather be here where I feel safe, Mikey" Valeria replied as Mikey pulled off with Pietri, and another member of his followed behind in another vehicle. 

The ride was a bit quiet until Valeria realized where they were going "Mikey.. are you taking me to our old hometown?" This was when her head turned over to him, seeing he was smiling.

"Yeah, I am. They always had this market you loved walking through and checking their stuff out." Mikey spoke out, reaching over to grab her hand to squeeze for a moment before pulling away for the shifter to shift into his last gear as he sped up. She squeezed his hand as well before he released hers.
