Scorpion

chapter 1

Kaleb P.O.V

"No!", I screamed at my dad.

"We have no choice they are gonna track us back!", he yelled trying to explain.
No I wasn't going to take charge, not now. Apparently my dad had a huge shipment of "medicine" to deliver, but it never reached the destination. The person that was in charge got killed in a drive by, he was shot down by another crew.

The worst part isn't the guy killed, but the fact we were now going to be killed next. The person that ordered the shipment was a wealthy drug lord. He is the most feared of all. His name is Victor Alacran. He has enough power to destroy us. Being in this business came with one rule: never piss of another head.

But my dumbass dad had to put a newbie on an important load. The worst part is , that we dont have enough to replace what was lost. We don't know how it got lost, or who took it. My dad told me that the only way to fix this was to take up on Alacran's first offer. He wanted me to marry his oldest daughter, Micaela. She is more than twice my age. She happened to like me when we had a big kickback with other crews.

"I am not going to marry her!!! If I do that , they will make me give up everything and move crews!", I yelled.

"At least its better than having our heads shot off!", he yelled.

"I know we have other ways", I said

"Nononononono, don't even think about it", he said back frantically.

"Its the only solution, all I have to do is talk to The Stones", I said sounding convincing.

"The last time we asked for their help, we lost all of our alliances", he said back

"Its better than marrying Micaela, and The Stones have ready offered me a job. All I have to do is take it, it will keep our name clean and safe", I said trying to convince him.

He was right. The last time we asked for help was after my mother died. We needed help to start off the business. Well honestly, my dad wanted to start, I didn't want to have anything to do with it, but somehow, I got stuck in the middle of his world.

"I know, but, if we are gonna go through this we have to start as soon as possible. Pack a few things. I have a place for to you to hide in. It down in Manhattan", he said trying to find a pen and piece of paper to write down the address.

"Why do I have to hide? Why can't I just go to The Loft and meet with The Stones?", I asked sounding confused.

"Because that's what Alacran is expecting us to do. You are gonna have to hide out for a couple of weeks. If things go well, months. The longer you hide the better", he said writing down the address. Then handing it to me.

"What! No way, I am not staying in our old house!", I said pushing back the piece of paper. He wanted me to hide out I. The apartment that we used to live in as a family, with my mom.

I know we have no other place, they would easily find us at the cabins or lake house.
"We have no other place!", he yelled getting I my face.

"I'm not gonna!", I yelled back.

He then punched my stomach. I've gotten used to his abuse. He is willing to give me up for a good reputation. I was on the floor. He crumbled the paper and threw at me and waked away. I got up and rubbed my stomach as I walked away to my room to ease the pain.

We lived in a huge mansion. My dad bought this place while the business was booming. I walked into my room. I packed a suitcase. I packed 5 shirts, 3 pants, 3 cargos, and a separate pair of shoes. I was about to walk out of the room when I remembered I forgot something. I couldn't get my finger on it so I just left.

~~~~~~^°^°^~~~~~~°^°^~~~~~°^°^°°~^°°^°~~~~^^^~^^~^~^~~

I walked to the front of the house to fine my chauffeur waiting. He opened the door for me and started driving.
We drove for about 15 minutes when we stopped. We were about 3 blocks away from the apartment.

I knew what he was doing. He didn't want anyone to see where I was going in case if they were following us. I was about to walk away fro the car when I heard him calk me.

"Sir!", he said

"Yeah", I said

"Take this, your father told me to give these to you", he said as he handed me a gun credit card.

"Thanks Derek, bye", I said walking away

"Good luck Mr. Kaleb......you will need it", he said but muttered the last part. It was wierd of him to say that. Did he know what was going on? I asked my self.

As I walked down the street, I felt my phone buzz. I pulled out my phone to see what it was, a message from Daniel. He was my best friend. He is the son of another crew member.
Daniel: hey man....I heard what happened. What are you gonna do?

Me: well I have to hide out at our old place for a while. At least until I can talk to The Stones

Daniel: oh...I was gonna ask you if you wanted to stay here at my place.

Me: they would instantly know

Daniel: actually, they wouldn't know someone let out a rumor saying that you headed for the head quarters in Texas

Me: who ever let thancbch CDC chdddc djbcdcrcje

Dam! I bupped into someone. She was on the floor so I helped her up.

"Oh, sorry!", she said looking down at her feet , looking embarrassed, but cute at the same time.

" um, its fine I wasn't watching where I was going", I said back

" I think I need to get going", she said picking up her suitcase. She looked up. We just stood there staring into each others eyes. My crystal blue eyes looking into her piercing green eyes.

She looked down, but I could not help but notice that she had been crying.

"What happened? Was the fall that bad?", I asked sounding concerned.

"No no, not at all, its just that life is really sucking right now", she said on the verge of tears.

"Well, where are you headed?", I asked

"To be honest I don't know, I had a big fight with someone...so yeah", she explained.

"Well, um do you wanna come to my place for a bit?", I asked

". How do I know if you are safe?", she asked with a giggle

" How will you know if I am? If I was a kidnaper I wouldn't take you to my place", I awnsered with a smile

"Well, OK....", she said as she grabbed on to her suitcase.
We started walking and talking, when all of a sudden..

*BANG BANG BANG*, I heard gunshots....
I looked down in front of me to see a lifeless body.
