Second Guessing

Chapter 6

Third Person~

"What happened to your arm?" Delirious asked Mini who came out of the kitchen, holding an ice pack to his arm.

"Carmen beat his ass in ten seconds." Lui explained and they all laughed.

"He's lying." Mini argued.

"He's right. It was less than ten seconds." This made everyone laugh even more." He didn't even hit her once." Lui added.

"Well I was going easy on her." Mini explained.

"Yeah okay." Moo sarcastically said.

Vanoss and Terroriser entered the living room, passing an unhappy Mini Ladd who was going to his room.

"Hey, where's Carmen?" Asked Vanoss who was looking around for her face.

"You mean your girlfriend?" Basically joked. Vanoss blushed but then sent a glare towards Basically who didn't really seemed phased by it.

"Uh she's getting her jacket downstairs in the training room." Lui said. Vanoss nodded and headed downstairs.

Vanoss heard Carmen talking in the training room. He made his way there and saw her back facing him. She was talking on the phone with someone and wasn't aware that he was there. He couldn't help but let his eyes wander up and down the back of her body.

"Okay, I'll see you then." She sighed before hanging up the phone, thankfully cutting of Vanoss' thoughts of Carmen from going any further. Carmen turned around and saw that Vanoss was standing in the doorway staring at her.

"Who was that?" He asked.

"My friend, I forgot that we were supposed to hang out today and I was meant to meet her ten minutes ago." She said and put her phone into her pocket.

"Do you have to go? I was gonna go over a few things with you."

"I'm sorry I can't, it's her last day here and I promised her." Carmen said. She walked over to the exit that Vanoss was still standing in the way in.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Vanoss asked and looked over her shoulder. She then turned around and noticed that her jacket was still laying on the floor.

"Oh right." Carmen blushed and grabbed her jacket.

"You okay? You seem a little on edge." He asked while Carmen was struggling to put her jacket on. Vanoss, being the gentleman he is, walked up behind her and helped her put it on. She stiffened under his touch at first but soon relaxed once she realised what he was doing.

"Yeah." She lied and turned around to face him, Carmen had to tilt her head a bit since he was taller than her." I've just got a lot on my mind."

They stared at each other for a few more moments, his brown eyes underneath those shades meeting her brown eyes. Carmen then noticed that there was only a small amount of space between the two of them so she stepped back and started to leave the training room, leaving Vanoss standing there deep in thought.

There was something about Carmen that made Vanoss feel intrigued yet suspicious at the same time. He's never really met anyone who made him feel like that. She hasn't really given anything away about her. Every time he would ask Carmen something about herself or something along the line, she always seems to find a way to not answer them which made Vanoss feel slightly annoyed. He was wrong to think that when Carmen agreed to join Vanoss Crew, she would open up a bit by now.

Terroriser was right when he said there was something off about her. She's a real mystery to him.

She's hiding something Vanoss figured. And I'm gonna find out just what.

Carmen~

What the hell just happened back there? I thought as Vanoss caught up with me while I was walking up the stairs. My lie was going so well up until the part where I forgot to get my jacket. I wasn't even on the phone with anyone, I just needed an excuse as to why it was taking forever for me to grab my jacket.

It was slightly awkward between the two of us cause of the moment we had back there and honestly, I have no idea how I feel about it.

As those thought were slowly disappearing, my mind then wandered back to what I found back there.

Or should I say who I found back there.

Flashback~

I started walking faster down the hallway. Although it was daytime right now, it felt like it was night time cause of how dark this area was. Why aren't there any windows down here? I could barely see anything so I got my phone out and used that as a source of light.

As I was walking, I heard a bunch of shuffling coming from one of the rooms I passed. I stopped and walked back to where the noise was coming from. The door was locked of course and so I started picking the lock with a bobby pin from my hair. The shuffling stopped as the doorknob was rattling from me constantly trying to pick it. It didn't take long till I heard a clicking sound. Oh how much I missed the sound of that. I opened the door and dropped the phone out of my mouth and into my hands. The second I opened the door, my eyes widened.

The only thing that was in this small concrete room was a broken and beaten up woman tied to a chair, her eyes wide just like mine as we were looking at each other. But it wasn't just any woman.

It was my long time friend Diana.

End of Flashback~

The last time I saw Diana was before I moved back to Los Santos. She was one of the few people that knew I was the infamous thief behind the black mask and was the reason why I became a thief in the first place. Not that it's a bad thing.

It breaks my heart seeing someone who is like a sister to me like that. So broken and afraid. There was a small pang of anger running through me but it was being overwhelmed by the sadness. It was hard for me to leave her there helpless but I had to. I didn't want Vanoss and them finding me down there since I was afraid of what they would do if they did. They're not the baddest gang in Los Santos for nothing.

Before I left, I told Diana that I was going to get her out of there. The fear in her eyes soon lit up with hope, making me more determined to save her.
