Secrets

Chapter 17

After using the restroom, nearly peeing myself, I pushed through the doors finding the cafe completely empty, even my mug was gone. "Did Jace forget I was in here? Vasco I understand but ... Jace?" I questioned before I felt my phone begin to buzz, I slipped it out of my back pocket looking to see it was Little Daniel. I blinked, a little surprised before I pressed the button, then held my phone up to my ear, "Hello?"

"Hey (Y/N), can you come by the convenience store?" Little Daniel questioned while I walked up to the counter seeing the cafe key on top of a note in Jace's handwriting, mentioning him and Vasco had to leave quickly for something.

"What for?" I questioned, picking up the note, looking it over, noticing how rushed his handwriting looked.

"Well we are going to hack the gambling site Jiho participated in. I tried calling Vasco as well but he didn't pick up, we need all the people we can get. Is he with you?" Little Daniel questioned over the phone, a shadow overtaking my eyes as my hand clenched into a fist causing the note to crumble.

"No ... he's not." I spoke, surprised my voice sounded so calm as my mind raced. "Count me out Little Daniel, I have to take care of something." I grabbed the key before making my way out of the cafe. "Don't worry, I'm helping Jiho my own way, that's all. Give him my apologies." I say before hanging up, not giving him the chance to respond, as I opened the door to the cafe, then used the key Jace left behind to me, to lock up the cafe before turning towards the street as the rain continued to pour, the sky pitch black, the air cold. I took a deep breath in and out, my warm breath could be seen against the cold air, looking like a dragon's breath. "How disappointing ... you didn't keep your promise Jake."

I pulled the hood of my jacket over my head before bolting out into the rain, my clothes didn't stay dry for very long as I was soaked to the bone. My jacket was heavy, slowing me down as its weight doubled, almost making it seem like I was running with a gallon of water strapped to my body. I unzipped my jacket tossing it aside as I took out my phone, dialing a number before holding it to my ear hearing it ring. "Come on pick up." I grumbled as the rain pelted against my face, my steps quick and precise as I leaped over puddles and moved around what little pedestrians there were. Once I heard the other end pick up, "Gun you were wrong, I ended up looking into the whole gambling sight."

"I told you not to-"

"I know, I know." I say, interrupting him, slowly beginning to gasp for air, I hate the cold for this reason. You can be as fit as a horse yet the cold air seems so hard to breathe in as it stings your throat, making it feel like ice is growing inside the trachea, causing the lungs to burn like flames. "But I looked into it, and found out it's one of your heads from your four major crews." I say in between breaths.

"Who?" Gun's voice sounded cold, he was certainly angry but I could hear disappointment as well.

"Jake Kim." I answered, dodging a spray of water that a car created. Despite already being soaked to the bone, I don't want to be doused in street water filled with car fumes. "Jake Kim is the one responsible." I say as I began to pick up the pace, becoming more confident in the direction I was going, thank god Jace gave me that app he uses on Vasco ... which I am currently using on the two of them.

"Are you running?" Gun questioned as the sound of a door closing behind him reached my ear. "It's pouring- are you heading in-"

"Yes I am, long story short two of my friends are heading there now." I responded turning a corner sharply, my feet skidding across the slick pavement before sprinting down the road, adrenaline racing across my body as my legs were filled with energy.

"(Y/N) you are going to get sick! I'm heading there now just-" He was then cut off as I looked down at my phone seeing the battery died causing a curse to slip through my lips as I shoved it into my back pocket.
