A MAFIA'S TREASURE

CHAPTER 1

Woken up by the force of nature i stuggled to open my eyes once again remembering that i yet survived another night just great how bad could it be.Finally throwing the bed sheets off me i made my way to the bathroom looking into my reflection wasnt a flattering thing .

My hair all messy ,looking like i haven't sleeped for days which a matter of fact is true.I had realised that i woken up pretty late . Sucking up all the air to let out a heavy sign i turned away from the mirror to get ready.

And here i was standing infront of the thing i hated most school.I put up the very same smile as i always put up for people.Forgeting that i ever even knew pain{here goes nothing}and in i went.

Miranda wait up... i turned around to see Aila and without any warning she threw a big hug at me.
So how was your weekend 'she said ',ohh you know always the same ... boring. See i told you you should have come along ,camping was fun Diago and i did a lot of thing together the only thing that was missing was you.Ohh really 'i said with no enthusiasm 'Yes really why is it hard to believe you and your sarcasm are always bumming me out'she said throwing puppy eyes at me'.Alright come on lets go were late for class.

Minutes have gone by yet it felt like a century.The lecture had gone by pretty slowly i was to busy fussing at when will this lecture would end when Aila shook me out of my trance,did you hear what i said'she said'Umm i...ah dont think so.

Seriously why do you always have to zone out when i talk to...is there something you would like to share with the class Ms.Vanenswaila .No mr Brown'said Aila'...then i expect you to keep quite during my class,and just then the bell rang.

Finally i can get out of here and just as i was packing my stuff Mr Brown went on to say,'and do not forget to submit your assignment by this friday'.What the.... cat got your tongue 'Diago cut me off'let me guess you forgot as usual 'he said looking quite unamused' yeah right like you know everything about me.

Of course i dont but i do know you from an i care for you perspective 'he continued ',could you stop bugging her ,your not her dad.  Amanda came up from behind Diago ,hey girl its been a while.It's only been 3 days what's so long about that"i said with absolutely no emotion what so ever".Amanda has been Diago's girlfriend for two months now me and Aila have been just fine with her until the girl exposed her clingy side towards Diago and it was absolutely annoying but it seemed to bother Aila more that me.

No am just saying she needs to take care of herself more and her school work...spoken like a true dad Diago bravo "i cut him off".Hey Miranda can we please get going i am starving "said Aila"she seemed quite annoyed. Coming "i said".

What was all that about,Aila you okay?"i said concerned. It was all just silence until we finally turned the corner.I hate her
"she spat out",okay not only annoyed by her but also you hate her?why all of a sudden"i said".

I dont know ...It's just something about her doesn't sit right with me"she said as she reached her hand to her hair clearly looking troubled".Wanna talk about it"i said as worry took over me" ... Ahhh no all.a sort it out ,but right now am starving.

Finally the day was over and i finally get to go home,mondays are the worst
Its the waking up tir...hey miranda wait up. I looked up to see who had disturbed my train of thoughts and it was Diago,holding his bag like he wanted to throw it away.

You okay "he asked",yeah why you asking"i said slightly squinting my eyes",you dont look okay,i mean you haven't been talking as you usually do"he said"so when i dont talk its only then you ask if am okay"i said feeling a rise in emotions"no i... not like that okay...then like what "i disturbed",i just wanna know if your okay you look horrible today,and you been wearing that hoddy all day and it's like a billion degrees"he said"that is non of your business "i spat",you know what let's just drop it okay i just wanted to know if your okay"he said"i  said am fine,you dont need to worry about me now if you would excuse me i have to go,i got work to do"i said as i turned away",bye then see you tomorrow "he said sounding disappointed ".

Night shift just great,i thought as i put on the uniform preparing myself to serve costumers with the best attitude i could give.Hey am off okay ... i turned to see eunji put down his keys.Mmh "was my respond",wish you luck "he said as he took off into the night".

And as i stepped into the till  area i felt a felling of fear wash over me was it anxiety i asked myself.
And i remembered i rushed off from where i was and pulled open the door to hear the bell doing its work of letting us know a customer just came in....EUNJI...EUNJII wait up... And a felling of relief came down on me as i saw the figure turn towards me, i ran as fast as i could to catch up to him and when i finally did i was panting like i was going to die.

Yeah miranda"he asks clearly confused",i dont blame him though i never really talk to the guy he'd always try to start conversation with me but I'd always answer with yes and no nothing more.

Uggh I'm out of shape"i said as i kept panting", You're smart right ...ahh as far as I'm concerned yeah"he said".l ...ahh need help with my assignment"i managed to get my words out",sure I'd be happy to help"he said looking quite happy to the fact that i finally spoke to him".

Can we meet up tomorrow it's due this friday" i said ",Okay miranda see you then but for now i got to go ,my rides here"he said as he looked behind me ".And by instinct i looked the direction he was looking and a cab pulled over and i watched him get in and the car drove away.

Once it had been a fair distance away i finally turned on my heels heading back to the shop,just as i passed an alleyway i heard a ruckus and it immediately reminded me of all those horror movies Aila made me watch with her. My heart skipped a beat when i heard a blood curdling scream of a man.

I wanted to run off but thought of the poor man probably in pain sent a knife to my heart with my heart beating out of my rib cage i went in.

I crouched by the dustbin to get a better look,as i peeked my head on the side of the dustbin i saw a man on the floor cuts all over his body thanks to the street light that emitted some light and a man in black holding a gun.

I wanted to scream then i retreated my head back i searched for my phone to call for help but to my surprise it wasn't there,that's when an image of my phone in my backpack appeared...shoot i left my phone now what.

I took another look at the situation before me as i noticed there were two dead bodies on the floor that when my brain started screaming at me to run but the thought of the man had me frozen just then the man spoke ,"look man i didn't mean to run okay i just didn't have the money".

The other voice came over intimidating and husky,"Lorenzo i didn't tell you to steal from me and you know what's the price for it "the man in black said",i understand but... just then the most heart ripping sound went off .

The man was dead the bullet went through his head i tried my best not scream,the man put the gun behind him and tukked it into his belt,then he reached for his phone ."Marcus i need you to come clean up this mess it better not get out ".

I shifted uncomfortably and that was  the worst i could do ,i mistakenly kicked a empty bottle of beer and it went of rolling into the street ohh my goodness am done.The man immediately became aware of my presence,"come out of there kid i already seen you", i stood up trembling and put my hands in the air surrendering,"plea..se pl..ase do.nt hurt mmm..e.".

He walked closer to me and reached for his gun in the process a stray cat came out  behind him jumping onto the trashcan making noise causing him to look back and i took that chance and took off .COME BACK HERE!!!.  His tone had a hint off anger and he ran after me. To my luck i tripped spraining my ankle.

I crawled back with my hands trying to get away from him i felt my scalp getting pulled and i yelped ," you are a cheeky one", he pulled me up and a tear escaped my  left eye.He didn't have a mask on increasing the chance of him killing me his features really stood out ,black silky hair ,beautiful green eyes that sparkled under the moon light ,a well defined jaw and a mole under his lips a scar through his eyebrow made it look like he had cut it all going along with a well built body.

That was something sweetheart looks like you have a death wish"he said in a husky voice". Please...i.i.i and before i could say anything a head pounding blow to my head had me knocked out everything went pitch black.
