Chapter 19

Janet left out of her dorm and headed outside to go to her class. As she walked, she had in one headphone and played her favorite playlist to get her day started.

"I don't care what people say

You're the one that brings me so much joy

When I look

At your smiling eyes my heart wants to dance boy"

Janet moved her head and walked happily to the music. It was her favorite artist ever, so whenever she woke up feeling down, her music would always cheer her up. As she made her way closer to the building, she was stopped by someone. "Hey, Janet." She rolled her eyes.

"What do you want?" She took her headphones out.

"I just want to talk." Janet sighed.

"I don't want to talk." She tried to walk away, but he stopped her.

"Come on, don't be like that." She sighed and folded her arms.

"What do you want, Rene?" He cheesed.

"I want you to let me take you out."

"I already said no." Janet walked past him.

"Come on. It's just dinner."

"No." She made her way up the stairs to her class.

"Come on, please."

"No." Janet made it to the door and as she went to open it, Rene pushed it closed. "Move."

"Not until you say yes."

"Then I'll just miss class, because I am not and never will go out with you." Rene kept smiling. "Now move." He moved his hand.

"Guess I just have to keep trying."

"Don't bother." Janet went into her class and sat down in her usual seat. She began to take everything out that she needed.

"Hey, Janet." She jumped and looked next to her.

"What are you doing here?" she whispered.

"You know what I'm doing here. Vee has a job for you."

"No, the agreement was one last big job and then I was done."

"There is no done, Mita. You know the only way out." Janet sighed to herself.

"I can't."

"Don't you need the money?"She wiped her face. "The folder will be in your mailbox." She got up and left. Janet sat and tried to get herself focused on her class. As the class went on, she kept thinking about what she was just told. A part of her really didn't want to go through with the work, but she knew that she needed the money. How else was she going to support herself?

"Where is she?!" Rene yelled. His men looked at each other in fear.

"We don't know."

"You don't know." He stood up from his chair. "You don't know?! You have had well over a month to find her and you still don't know?"

"No, sir." Rene pushed some things off of his desk.

"You need to find her."

"But, sir. May we ask why it's so important to get her back?"

"Because everything will fall apart." He walked around his desk and left out of his office with the guys right behind him.

"Bu...."
