Flashback

It was 12:00 a.m. I stared at the clock ticking in my hand as my mom laid there crying in pain , at the time I didn't know what to do and I was scared. When she had fallen asleep I went into the medicine cabinet and I took out a jar pills I didn't know what type of pills it was but I took it and I gave her it. That night my mom died.
I was a murderer and I was an orphan.

I only say that because the moment John got home the next day and he realized the police and the ambulance taking mom away , he blamed himself and I blame him too, but most of all.. me.

All I remember was him trying his best to raise me but he could never succeed in doing so. I was a teenage girl and I was messed up , he started drinking and I started fighting in school everyday , I was one of those students who were considered troubled.

When I had turned 16 though , John had joined a gang , I couldn't remember what name it was but he started going there every day. He was only 21 at that time, as his sister I was concerned... so one night I followed him n I saw him getting his ass beat willingly I stepped in , I pushed the guy off him the the little strength I had.

"What the fuck! Mika what are you doing here." Johnathan shouts at me.

I look around , there's a bunch of women dressed in slutty clothing , men who stared at me like I was some new prey and...my brother , covered in blood.

Tears swell in my eyes as I bring hand to wipe it away , "Why are you doing this..."

He sighs , he walks up to me then hugging me tightly , I see everyone leave the circle and went on doing their own thing.

"You shouldn't get yourself involved in this Mika." He scolds me bring a hand up to my face,

"I don't want you to leave me John , not like Dad and Mom!!" I cry.

"Is she okay?" A voice from behind Johnathan asks , as I turn to look to see him it was...

Present Day

"Fraud." I bring a hand to cover my mouth as I feel a tear rushed on my face.
No this couldn't be Fraud... is not the same guy that-  if it was him he would have known it was me but all this time he , was alive?!

The picture my brother standing next to fraud looking proud.
He was my brother's friend,  his companion , his ride or DIE.

Just then Kern returns with a cup of coffee , "Hey...Should I be worried?" He says chuckling slightly before it fades away looking at the picture, "Wait , isn't that your brother?"

"I need to talk to Fraud." I say getting up off my chair and making my way downstairs to call Antonio , "Shit!" It had went straight to voicemail, I guess I had to find him myself.

I hopped into my car and drove off to town , to the place I knew he'd be at now I knew he was THE Fraud. Serpent's Alley.

Walking out of the car I took a big whiff of the air around me , it was just as I remembered, the air was heavy and most definitely sweet but , the bad type of sweet. I hear a bunch of snickers coming from the right of me noticing a couple of teenagers smoking what looked like weed , it wasn't long ago I was probably in their place...those poor kids.
Upon entering , the group of Serpent's stood in a circle, in a meeting before I Interrupted. "Where's Fraud." I ask as everyone turned to me.

"That would be I." Fraud said walking up to me with a slight grin , I pull him onto the side before he signals the team to not interrupt us.

"I know you know it's me Fraud." I say.

"I'm surprised you didn't notice me at all Mika..." He says chuckling.

I look at his muscular frame , he was different , he had a buzzed cut and he had a lot of arm tattoos.

"Why am I even here...' I mutter underneath my breath. "Your not going to win this case Fraud , as much as our history goes I will not take it easy on you."

"You know I can kill you right? I mean, I can maybe do that now when your so vulnerable." Fraud comments.

"Your not gonna kill me."

"I almost did at that bar."

I look at him , "Did you know about John?..." Tears started to form in my eyes , my brother had been missing for 1 and a half years now , the case had been dropped after 8 months and I was still trying to get the money to hire a private investigator rather than the police.

"John was...my brother."

"Was? He's still alive Fraud , he has to be."

Fraud sighs running his hand slowly down his face , he looks at me.

"You should leave before I do something." After he says that , I gulp looking away from him and then looking back. "I'm not afraid of you , Fraud , I thought you were dead. And I  am to be a official officer in a couple months" I try my best to stay bold.

"You should be afraid of me." He whispers in my ear before pinning me against the wall , his fingers caress my thigh trailing up and down slowly, my breath hitched.

If you didn't know , Fraud was a past buddy of mine....after the incident when I found John , he looked out for me like an older older brother. We did most things together like normal friends , when I was 17 we hooked up once or twice...or thrice...maybe ten times but who's counting???
And then I was off to college.

"Stop.." I say trying to push him off... before he kisses me , when I kiss him , I feel as if we could be unstoppable, I felt like everything in the world stopped and we were the only two spinning. He holds my head roughly messing with it , I bite down on his bottom lip angrily. As much as I wanted him to stop , I couldn't get enough if him , this man was my once poison , I wanted him to forever be , but , the Serpent life didn't suit me. I was to be a police officer and he was the Clyde.

I pull away , "Do not do that again." I say sternly and he looks at me breathlessly, I mean I was breathless do from that most dreadful kiss I so hated.

"Minnie...you know you want me." He chuckles then eyes me up and down.

"Don't call me that, Fuerza. Why were you going by ..Arandas?"

"To keep a low profile from the NPD." He turns around facing his motorcycle.

I stop him before he could hop on.
"Nunca dejes uno atrás" (Never leave one behind.")   He looks at me , his gaze was softer , "I'd never leave a Serpent behind." He says making room for me to sit , and I hop on , I know it was reckless but!! It's life.

"One ride only."
