The True Story Of Jacub S.

Ch. 3 the family

As I walk up to the door and I go to open it my heart starts racing again. What if it's a trap? Maybe I stole the wrong guys car or something? I've been doing this for about two months now so I'm sure there is a few people who would like to have a word with me. I look back at the car one more time maybe I should leave. I should this is bad, I mean the guy had a gun to my head. Can I trust him. I go to step back twords the car when the door suddenly opens.

"You coming in?" A beautiful girl is standing there. Her beauty takes my by surprise. First thing I noticed was her enchanting eyes the prettiest blue you'll ever see. I got lost in them, unable to say a word. Just mesmerized by her. "Please come in we are just about to eat dinner, and we set a place for you."

I shake my head yes. And she shots me a wonderful smile, as she opens the door further. And walks away ed into the house. I fallow her and shut the door behind me. The house is the same as dad left it just no pictures on the wall. Made me wonder if he took them with him. I see a group of people sitting around a dinning table in the kitchen. 3 guys pluses the man from the car and her. I'm dieing to know her name, and who she really is. I'm wondering the same about everyone her. I walk up and the gunman introduced everyone.

"Glad you decided to stay. Now you can meet the family. My name is Tom but they all call me uncle Tom." He says as he extens his hand out to me. I put mine out and shack his hand. It was covered on calluses from a life time of work, it was firm and strong."that my son Cable, and his friend Justin." As he points to a man in his early twenty same for the other one. They were coated with grease like I look after work." And that grampa David but everyone calls him paps" an older gentleman that was sitting at the head of the table. " this is Justin's sister Shelby" he said something after that but I was lost looking at her again not listening. Shelby what an amazing name.

"Take a seat son" David said bring me back to reality." Shelby made us a fantastic meal" I look at the table to see what I've been sleeping sense I walked in the door. Pot roast my favorite and I haven't eaten all day I e just been to busy.

"I'm not hungry", I tell him but my stumic makes me a lier by rumbling loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Come one man seat she made it just for you, don't want to be rude now", Justin says almost laughing." We can all tell your hungry we don't bit just sit down."

"If you want to know more about why your here sit, otherwise leave." Tom says as he takes his seat next to Shelby and David.

I decide I could eat a little if not just to get some answers."fine I could go for a good meal". I pull a chair out at the opposite side of David. Next to Shelby and her brother. "Why am I here? And why shouldn't I leave?" I asked as I was passed the pot roast from Justin. "And why should I remember you Tom? And why are we at this house I know it doesn't belong to you."

"You really don't remember me do you?" Tom said looking shocked." Im your dad's brother uncle Tom. You did call me uncle Tommy befor....."

"Befor my dad left me", I start to remember him now and I think I can almost recanize my cousin. It's been so long."Why are you back now is he dead or something? Not like I would care."

"Yes he is and you should care, he didn't leave you he was protecting you. I talked to him the night he skipped town. He told me how he was in bed with some bad guys on a deal he couldn't finish. So he left so that you wouldn't get hurt." Tom told me as the table got quit.

"Why didn't he tell my mom? And what kind of deal? With who?"

"I know you have alot of questions rite now and I wish I could answer all of them but I just told you what I know. He was found dead two weeks ago. Shot to death 5 in the chest and one in the head. Befor this happend I got a call from him. He said they found him not telling me who. He asked me to come hear and said I would know what to do." Tom stood up from the table slowly. Nodding his head to me as if to say fallow him. So I did we walked into the basement." I got here and found this", he said gesturing to a wall of screens with what looked to be the city's traffic cameras and it also looked like private security cameras as well. The biggest screen was a picture of my house as I watch it I see my mom pull in the drive way. She's just getting home from work it's about one in the morning maybe two. "I've been watching you to see what your dad wanted me to do. At first I just noticed you going to school and work and playing with your car but then I watched you threw the night and saw you leave late at night. Watching from this room I saw you steal that nova and by the way nice job with the silent alarm on that one. Your alot like your dad."

"Yeah rite I'm nothing like him."I was mad at the comment.

"Your more like him then you'll ever know. Do you ever recall your dad working a day in his life?" Thinking back I don't I thought he worked at night cause he was never home after 9 but he never said he was going to work."your dad and you have the same talent. A love for cars and know there tricks. Your dad was one of the biggest boosters in the state he was knew in ever chop shop and ever street racing gang in the country. But he wasn't your dad at night he was J.S the slick and he was well liked but had a bad habit of taking bad deals." He says to me.

I don't know what to think there's so much going on and I can't handle it. Tome puts his hand on my shoulder just like my dad did when I was younger and it set me off I couldn't handle it I felt like I was about to explode. I wish I did almost, but instead I just said. "Its time for me to go I have to get home befor mom gets worried." I turn around and head up the stairs I get to the top and walk through the kitchen getting a look from everyone I couldn't figure out why. I go to the back door open it and walk outside.

The cold air hit me like a brick wall stopping me in my tracks.

"You forgot your bag" I hear an angles voice say to me. "Go home come back this weekend we can take care of the car." She hands me my bag with a look on her face that made me feel better. Then she puts her hand to my face and whips a single tear from my check. Now I know what the look on everyone's face was from. "Please come back, I'd like to see you again and I want to show you something." She kisses my check and walks back inside as I walk off head towards home. Not sure of what is really going on or how I should deal with it. I walk Just me, the cool crisp air, the are cold sidewalk and a mind full of questions.
