So Close But Yet So Far | Brian O'Connor- 2 Fast 2 Furious

☆6☆

Savannah's POV

After I got ready Monica and I left for the club. Carter had texted M saying he was gonna meet us there.
When we got in the club Monica and I split up, I headed straight for the bar ordering 2 shots of tequila then I went to hit the dance floor. I knew how to handle my liquor so I knew I was no where near getting drunk.
I danced for a while until I saw Monica signaling that we were going somewhere. I walked over and saw Brian and Rome, "Yo wassup guys." I fist bumped Rome, then followed Monica. We went over to the VIP section of the club, and I sat beside Monica, Brian and Verone were still standing talking. I leaned over and whispered in her ear, "What the hell did you do?" "Nothing." "Sure ain't nothing M, just listen to me ok, your my friend so imma give you this little warning. Stay away from Brian, he's no good. And if you do decide to not listen make sure the Carter Verone or his little goonies don't catch you slipping up, k?" "Yeah I got you girl." During our little conversation Carter was showing the guys some blonde chic and a guy.

Verone started asking Rome something to which he answered, I smiled when I hear what he had asked Rome, he was talking about Rome lighting his goonies windshield on fire. After that we got up and walked through some hallway towards a room where there was a blow torch and a bucket covered with a white cloth.
I took a seat and Brian sat beside me while Rome sat on the other side of me. Seeing as there were 2 chairs and Carter and Monica would occupy the next one. Not even a minute after the guy and the blonde girl from before walked in. I sat there just observing what was going on not saying a word. The guys name was Detective Whitworth.

Apparently the detective was supposed to give Verone a window so he could get his cash from one place to another without getting caught. Earlier today when I told Bilkins and the others that Verone had cops on his payroll this was what I meant, high up cops like detectives and such.

The Detective was denying Carter, so Carter had his goonies tie him to a table.
We were sitting right infront of the table and Carter removed the cloth from the bucket and took out a fucking rat. He placed the rat on the Detective and covered it with the bucket. Like some psycho Carter started telling us what a rat could do. "You have nothing to worry about when he's screaming. It's when it goes quiet, that he goes to work." The Detective was begging him to stop but Carter didn't. I felt like I was about to throw up but I had to take a deep breath in and hold both Brian's and Rome's hands that were beside me. I had my face blank of any emotions, but my hands? Shit, they were squeezing the life out of Brian and Rome.

Carter had Monica cover the Detectives mouth while he continued to hold the blow torch over the metal bucket, the rat went quiet and the detective started saying something but his words were muffled by Monica's hands.
Carter then signaled to Monica and she removed her hands, "It bit me. Jesus. I'll do it." "Do what? Say it." "I'll do it. I'll give you your window. Just get it off me. Get it off!" "You betray me and my rat here, is gonna visit your wife, Lynn, your son Clay, and your daughter, Lexi. Do you hear me? Do you understand me?"

After hearing that I zoned out. I thought this was a simple job, in and out. But I was wrong and I would have to tred very lightly around Carter Verone. Because shit just got real.
