Taken

Consequences

"Quinnnnn...." Jade whines as she clawed at the door. It wasn't fair, she hadn't seen Roman in days and haven't seen Quinn in a week after her first escape attempt. The bedroom looked the same as he left it, the dark tinted windows with the curtains that Jade had long pulled off the wall. The room was becoming a mess, it wasn't fair. "Quinn! I know you're there! I see your shadow!!" Jade pressed her head against the door. "Why...Why aren't you talking to me? I told you not to take it personal"

Quinn listened to the black girl ramble from the other side of the door. Her head pressed against the door as Jade tapped her fingers against the door. "I just want to go home...I would ask you don't you miss home but..you are home...But I miss the feeling of belonging...you know?"

Yeah...Quinn wanted to respond. She knows the feeling all too well, it ate her up slightly. "Quinn...Is Roman still mad at me?" Jade asked with a sigh. "Is this his way of punishing me? I can't leave and I can't see or talk to you?" Quinn paused for a moment. She slid some snacks underneath the door for Jade. "Spaghetti is for lunch" Quinn swore she could hear the girl sniffle. Just as she opened her mouth to speak again, Richie appeared in front of her. "Forgot there's a meeting today?" Quinn nodded, wiping her eyes. "Yeah uh, I'm coming"

"I'm waiting" Quinn looks back at the door, she could tell the girl was still sitting by the door. "Cmon," Quinn was pulled up by her older brother and nearly dragged to the meeting room. "You're becoming attached too" Richie remarks, turning back to look at her. "Stop. When she goes home, she will try and forget you. If she's smart enough anyways."

Quinn sighed as she entered the meeting room with him. Currently, Jill threw a towel at Roman as she moved her seat far from him. "You smell horrible!" She gagged as she looked at her cousin. Nothing but old stains on his white shirt and very old pajama pants. "I don't care what you and that bitch got going on, you still gotta shower dude!" Roman didn't say much, he just threw the file in the middle of the table. "I want him gone. I don't care how you do it, how messy it gets, just get rid of him. Billy is in charge"

"Roman, Billy has the flu" Stu reminds him, giving him a nervous look. "Billy can't even get out of bed...and from the looks of you...We need a break yeah?" "I'm all for breaks" Charlie stretches in his chair with a grin. "I got plans with a certain clown." "Riight...We need to be lowkey, the medias all over us right now" Roman remained silent as he leaned back in his chair. He taps his arm rest as he sighs. "We're running low on funds anyways. Do some recruiting, grab some lower people, plan a robbery soon"

Everyone nods in response. "Hey Rom-" A loud crash was heard when Ethan tried to speak. Multiple crashes coming from Roman's room but he didn't seem bother by it. He had nothing but a dead look in his eye as he looked at Ethan. "Don't you wanna check on that...?" "...." He turned the projector on to the camera in his room, he didn't seemed too shocked. The girl thrashing around his things, breaking glass photos and awards, everyone watched as she screamed in the dark room. Roman turns back to him, his fingers crossed in front of his mouth. "What Ethan."

"N..Nothing sir. Just gonna get out there" Roman nodded his head as he turned the projector off. The meeting was dismissed, the only ones staying behind Jill and Quinn. "She shouldn't be doing this to you" Jill sighed looking at him. "You look like you're suffering as much as her now..." "I don't want to hear it Jill" "Then what do you want to hear? You have to hear it. Roman, that girl, as much as I like her suffering...she needs to go..." Jill puts a hand on her shoulder. "You're a broken clock." Roman yawned as he leaned in his chair. "Tell me something new. It's gonna work, this time it's going to. Promise" Jill stared at him briefly before turning to leave in silence.

"What are you staying here to tell me?" Roman's eyes shifts over to Quinn. "I..." She swallows her words. "Nevermind...I see you around" Quinn left the office with her head down. Roman sat in his office in silence, he listened to the girl screaming in his room upstairs. "Beg..." He whispered beneath his breath.

"Beg."
