In Denial

Chapter 10

" Keep running!" Nate yelled.

Taraji was out of breath as she ran back and forth across the gym. It was part of her punishment. " Keep going Henson!". " Nate this is ridiculous!" She exclaimed stopping in her tracks.

" You should have thought about that before you let your horny thoughts get in the way of your work! You want to be back in the group right!?" He asked.

" ...Yes".

" Then keep fucking running! You have 30 more! And the next time you stop we are gonna have a problem", he said sitting in the bleachers. " I fucking hate you.." she mumbled.

" what did you say?". He asked. " Nothing!" She lied.

By the time she had finished running she collapsed on the gym floor not even being able to gain strength. " You are very weak Henson. What happened to you?" He came up and sat on the floor beside her.

" Nate I'm not the same girl I was when you took me in.. I have changed".

" Changed as in allowing love to ruin your line of work? The old Taraji would have never stooped to such a low level". The sad thing was.. he was actually right.

She use to be toughest bitch there was. She still was tough.. but not the way she knew she could be.

" Nate I apologized and I told you it wasn't gonna happen again.." she sat up. " Yet you lied to me. Because I know you have still been messing with her"-"What"-"Do not lie to me".

" Nate"-. He grabbed her arm. " You remember what happened to Carol, when she decided to dip out on us for that boyfriend she fucked from the other side?" He said.

" You fucking bastard! I didn't forget out you fucking killed my sister!" She stood up and started to walk away.

" I did not kill carol! Henson don't you ever walk away from me!" He stood up and she stopped walking. " I know you killed her ..".

" I did not kill your sister. She got tangled up in that guy and got herself killed! You will not blame me for this!".

" Don't say that! She was smart!".

" ITS THE TRUTH! ALL THESE YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN HOLDING ONTO HER DEATH! SHES DEAD!! HENSON SHE IS DEAD!!" He yelled.

Tears formed in her eyes and She quickly grabbed her bag and left. " Henson!". He called out. But she was already gone.

Taraji got home and immediately went too the bathtub too soak her body. She got lost in the mist of her own thoughts.

" Carol you could have fucking shot me! Your aim sucks shit" Taraji said taking off her mask. " Mmm but I didn't did I". After a long day of work both of them went back to Tarajis apartment to chill out. " Do you think Nate will promote you?" Raji asked her handing her a glass of wine. " you know he does not like me for some particular reason.". Taraji scoffed. " ever since I started dating Jacob from the enemy group he's been on my ass. I told him I wouldn't see him anymore. He believed me. But I lied. I love Jacob" carol said sipping from the glass. " you're gonna get yourself hurt Carol.". That night the two sisters fell asleep on the couch. It was around 2 am when taraji heard a noise. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes. There was a person in all black breaking through her window.

" What the hell!". She quickly grabbed her gun from the couch pillow. Her voice woke up carol who immediately jumped up from the couch. ". This message is from your boyfriend." The person said before pulling out there gun and pulling the trigger. In the blink of an eye carol had fallen into the ground in a pool of blood. The person had shot her twice in the forehead causing it to go straight through her brain.
