"I need your money."

That was the first thing Pandora heard as she answered her phone, forgetting to look at the caller ID. She checked just to see it was her ex-husband.

"Why the hell do you need money this time?" She asked him. "Drugs, gambling or the rest of the stupid shit you do."

"Pandora just send me some money," he said with a groan.

"And what do you call some? Because the last time you said that you took fifteen hundred dollars from me," Pandora said through the phone, raising a single eyebrow she knew he couldn't see.

"Just a little bit," he pleaded.

"No," she answered curtly. "Go make your own money by working."

"Oh wait, you can't, because you were banned from working at almost all places accepting people for doing drugs on the job and because you got a DUI, putting someone in the ICU," she continued.

"Your problems are not my problems, because we're divorced. Goodbye Samuel." After her goodbye she hung up the phone.

Pandora pinched the bridge of her nose, annoyed at her ex-husband and his decisions. Maybe she'd have leant him some money if he actually ever bothered to visit to see their kids, but he didn't, so his wellbeing wasn't any of her business.

"Mom," her ten year old daughter called out. "We don't have any chocolate paste anymore."

"I'll be right there honey," she replied back before standing up from the chair behind the desk in her bedroom.

Pandora walked in the kitchen to see her daughter making her own lunch.

"How about we go grocery shopping in an hour? That way we can get you chocolate paste and Blakely can choose something to put on his sandwich as well," She offered.

"Okay," the girl said, then continued making her lunch.

Pandora continued on to her kids' room, knowing Blakely was in there playing with his toys.

She knocked before opening the door, then asked him if he'd like to go to the grocery store later, to which he responded with a resounding 'yes!'.

When it was time to go, she directed her kids to the white 2017 Nissan Quest her father had given to her a few years ago.

When her father had given her the keys, he said "I'm sure you'll need it with the amount of kids you and Samuel are going to have," which they didn't because they got a divorce later that year.

She didn't have five or more kids, but it was great for birthday parties when she needed to take more than four kids to a different location.

When Pandora had parked the car in the parking lot of the grocery store, Eleanor and Blakely immediately unbuckled and opened the car door, and ran to get a cart.

"Look before you cross a road!" Pandora yelled at her kids, who both listened as they looked around for a few seconds before crossing over.

She took out the grocery bags she had taken with her in the back of the car, before joining her kids to walk towards the store.

Once inside, Pandora made sure her kids didn't run off too far.

Her redheaded daughter walked to get the chocolate paste she wanted while she and her son walked towards the pasta, before they'd meet up at the frozen goods to get frozen pizza for dinner.

As she walked to the cash register with her kids after having gotten everything they needed, Pandora noticed a man looking at her for the fourth time since the time they'd entered the store. It couldn't be because of the kids, they had been angels the entire time.

As her kids put everything in bags while she payed, Pandora looked at the man out of the corner of her eye.

The man was empty-handed, only looking around occasionally before focussing his gaze on Pandora again. He was dressed in black motorcycle gear, with his motorcycle jacket open and his gloves in his hand. The mystery man had tattoos everywhere she could see, from his hands to his neck, and even on his face. The man looked handsome, but he wasn't Pandora's type.

Suddenly a second man joined the first, dressed in the exact same kind of outfit, with tattoos in similar places. The men talked for a few seconds before he too glanced over at Pandora and her kids.

Ah shit, she thought. Can't have a quiet few months.

As Pandora helped her kids put their bags in the cart, she saw that both men had grabbed an item and were making their way to the checkout as well.

When the red headed woman had put the bags full of groceries in the trunk and made sure her kids were safely seated, she locked the car and quickly went to return the cart and then walk back to her car.

As she walked back to the car, she saw the two men from earlier, both leaning against their own Yamaha R-6 Race.

(Quick side note, a Yamaha is a motorcycle:)

While she drove home, Pandora looked in the mirror, seeing two motorcycles making the same turns as her, although staying a few cars behind her at all times

When she arrived in front of the appartement, she, Blakely and Eleanor took the bags upstairs, putting them away in the kitchen.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the front door.
