Unknown:Hello, Mrs Williams. We have some business we'd like to discuss with you. We understand you possess an item that we're very interested in acquiring."
"No way."I laughed.
"They bought it?"Gunnar asks with unbelievness in his voice.
"What should I write?"She looks up to me fhen Gunnar.
She looked at me.
She looked at me.
Yess.
Focus.
"Give me the phone."I say as she gives it to me.After three days, they messaged her.I don't know if this is a trap or not. I need to have this in mind.
"Careful. "Both of them say at one time.
Me:I suggest we meet at the abandoned warehouse on Elm Street tonight at 10 pm. Please come alone and ensure discretion.I look forward to discussing the term.I should feel pleased but I don't.
I look at her feeling uneasy.
"You sure you can handle this on your own?"She nods.
"I can handle myself. I just need to play the part and keep them talking long enough for you guys to swoop in."I sigh.
"I don't like it. I don't want you to go in there alone. What if something goes wrong?"
There is fire in her eyes.
"I can take care of myself. Besides, we need to catch these guys in the act if we want to crack this case."I nodded.
"Fine. But be careful. We'll be listening in and ready to move in if things get too dicey."
Gunnar chimes in.
"Just keep your wits about you. We'll be watching your back.""You guys still think we shouldn't tell anyone?I just don't want us to do anything stupid."
I can sense her concerns.
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. We'll figure this out together, okay?"I nodded.She sighed, nodding too.
"I don't want us not doing anything reckless."I holding her gaze, says.
" I'll keep you safe. No matter what."She looks away, nodding.
Fuck.I don't know what's she thinking. I can't find out what's she thinking.
"What are you going to tell your parents?"Gunnar asked writing in his computer.
"I don't know. I'll think about it."Sht took her bag.
"I'm heading home.""Want me to take you?"I ask at least for some hope.
"No."She says, walking.Fuck.
I sighed.
"Want me to tell you what I think for once?"Gunnar comes behind me.
"No."I say firmly.
"This situation between you and Indie is getting out of control. It's starting to affect our work, and I'm getting tired of being caught in the middle."
I smirk.
"I don't appreciate your concern, little brother, I can handle this. Indie and I have things under control."
He looks at me withoutsny hint of emotion.
"I wouldn't say anything if you had done your job correctly and without unnecessary effects." I laugh and walk ,but he holds my arm and walks in front of me.Well.Well.Well.
The tension between is palpable as we stand face to face. His grip on my arm was firm, his expression stern as he looked into my eyes.
This guy is so irritating, and I'm sure he can see it in my eyes as I look back at him. The air around us was thick with the weight of our differing opinions and the unspoken words between us.
"You realize that this whole mess we're in right now is your fault, right? If you hadn't played your stupid games,if you hadn't kidnapped her, we wouldn't be in here in the first place. We wouldn't be in this situation at all."
His words cut every time he speaks.
If I was a normal guy, I'd feel guilty or bad about it.
