Let It Burn

Chapter 5: You Coming?

It was a week Avianna disappeared until Saturday. The guys worked hard making sure everything that needed to be off the work sight was. It was over two years to clean up and ship out. Colton was talking to the last of the vehicle renters giving back and signing off papers and a check. Avianna popped up to the group with twelve envelopes in her hands. "Did you miss me?" All of their heads snapped up and jumped up to h ug her tightly. "Where the hell have you been?" Daxton yelled at her like an angry father.

"I had to go to the new head quarters in China set up my office and deal with stupid shit. Now don't give me no grief. I'm sorry I took off and had no contact with any of you but I did come bringing gifts." She said waving it around. "What kind of gifts?" Dallas asked crossed arm like a child being bribed. "I got the account do some digin over the last two years and legal to look at the contract and got you guys all $25,000 bonus." She said waving the envelopes with guys names all taking turns hugging her and kissing her on the head again.

"I also bet none of you knew your bank cards expired right? These are your new ones and they are activated and everything you previously had is already rolled over." She said smiling. "How was she able to do that?" Vince was now confused. "You remember the banking paper you signed when you started and the bank made you pick a person to release and give info to? All of us choose her by our second year. She probably had your dad come sign for you." Damien said with a smile. "Yeah besides maybe one friend or family member we all have her on our bank details so she can make changes. I would never stay on top of my stuff if she didn't help keep me straight at the end of the year." Eli said with all the other guys agreeing around them as she past them all around.

"Thank you. I wish you would have called or even texted back though." Vincent said as he hugged her and took his new card he did forgot it expired already as it is a new month. "I'm sorry. It's just been shitty week but vacation starts tomorrow right?" She smiled happily. "Yes it does." Before he could say anything else. "Alright you Wolves and Lions. I want to thank you for all your hard work and I made a reservation for all twenty six of us left in town to thank you before you head out tomorrow. Make sure you're packed well and don't forget anything and remember three weeks only." Colton said pointing at everyone.

"The SUV's packed as many as they could. Colton, Jordan, Knox and Avianna road in smaller one. As four other SUV's followed them. It was so loud and tables were long set to divide the groups in half. Colton was sitting a few people down from Avianna next to Jordan Vincent was sitting on her right and Damien to her left. After they were finishing up waiting to leave The topics of where everyone was going came up. "I have to go home and help out." Dylan said with a smile he loved seeing his nieces and nephews. "I have some weddings I gotta be apart of." Killian said his cousins were getting married.

"We going to spend a week in Florida going around Universal and Disney." Dallas said excitedly as he was going with Daxton, Jaxon, Eli, Tony and Tobi. "I'm going home to chill with the family I got some birthdays I can make for my nieces and nephews." Andrew said. "Same." Ryder and Knoxx said finishing their drinks. "I'm going home for the spring festival it's our New Year." Damien said happily his village wasn't more than an hourish away from Vincent's. "Are you busy over break?" Vincent asked Avianna looking hopeful. Looking at him she thought about it.

"Well some little things I need to do at the office here and there and I got to find me a place to stay for the next ten years. That about covers it." She said with a shrug. "Well I was wondering if maybe you'd like to come back with me?" Vincent asked her. Colton's head popped up as faintly heard him ask. "I know how seeing the spring festival is on your bucket list and we got all this time. I thought maybe you like to come back home with me and see it for yourself. My home isn't too far from the office." She cut him off.
