Memories

"Yes, I want you to be friends with Alex and her group of friends, including that boy that has been close to you lately."

"Can you please repeat that? I think I heard you wrong," I said, clearly, my ears weren't working right now.

"You did not, I want you to get close to them, find out their plans. Find out why they all live in a house together like us. I want to know if they are another mafia group and find their weakness. I want the others to get close to other people also so that you guys blend in. Understood?"

"Yes sir," I said after processing what he said.

"Your new assignment starts tomorrow, go to bed, you are dismissed," he said pointing towards the door.

I nodded and left the room, heading to my bedroom. How did he know about Xavier? Did the boys tell him? Of course, they told him, they have to report everything to father. When I got to my room I didn't bother changing into my pajamas, instead, I just took off my black outfit and got into bed with only my underwear and bra on. I took a deep breath and looked at the stars in the dark sky. I thought back to what Selene said, she was kidnapped? Were her parents looking for her?

Blake and Maria Rivera. My mom's name was Maria, it's such a common name so I didn't think much about it. I wonder if Selene had finally gotten back home to her parents. Then I thought about that wolf in the woods, it was like an overgrown dog. I should know how dogs behave, I train all the dogs we have. But it's so easy to train them because they follow my every command unlike when others try to get them to listen. The dogs we have are really the only living thing I'm the closest to. And that I can stand being around for a long time. The dogs we have are Rottweilers, Doberman Pincers, German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, Boxers, and Bloodhounds. We have at least ten of each, they can be harmful but only to strangers, or when commanded to.

Ever since the accident, I've been close to the dogs, they are the best friends in the world. I guess they give me the sense of comfort I crave from a living thing. Everybody craves the sense of comfort from anything, whether it be from family, friends, pets, stuff animals or even a blanket. Gives us a sense of protection, that as long as they are around nothing harmful could possibly happen. My parents and brother use to give me this comfort, and I wish I still had it. I actually had a baby blanket I would have at all times, but when I started training for the Mafia my father threw out anything childish or girly.

Slowly I started fading into the darkness, my final thoughts were wonders of a life with them still alive.

I had called everybody who went to school to tell them what my father told me. We all had just finished breakfast and were about to head to school.

"Mr. Jimenez wants us to blend in from now on, make 'friends', but remember don't get attached because you will leave them behind. Understood?" I spoke getting a 'yes' in reply from everybody, "good, you are all dismissed."

Everybody quickly walked out of the house and to their rides to go to school. I stayed behind until I was sure everybody left and got into my Dodge Challenger. I turned it on causing the engine to growl, pulled out of the driveway and drove off to school.

I walked into the school building looking around for Alexandria, she would be my way into their group. I spotted her with Eric, she was no longer wearing the casts, strange. Eric was taking things out of a locker while Alexandria seemed to be telling him what to get. I walked straight up to them, wanting to get this over with. Eric spotted me first and quickly pushed Alexandria behind him while glaring at me.
