Cries Out

Chapter 8

" I guess we do. Don't we?" I say.

"Where to start? Where to start?" He asks himself while tapping his chin in concentration. "What have you told her?" He asks Jake.

" I told her what happened to her parents. That's it. She has asked a few questions about the necklace but I said nothing. " he says speaking as if I'm not even here.

"What's the deal about the necklace?" I ask. "It's just an regular old necklace. "

" Just and old necklace huh? I don't think so. " the guy turns and walks back to his seat behind the desk. " let's start with how your parents got the necklace hum. They were out on a mission where they had to spy on some men who were invested in meth. When they spotted the guys they went for it. They took the guys down with ease. One of the guys had a box in his hand that the men were trying to protect. When your parents were done they picked up the box and opened it inside was an necklace with and gold chain and a big red ruby in it. When your mom picked it up she said that she felt weird from the touch of it against her skin. Your dad put on gloves and quickly bagged it. " he pauses for a second to catch his breath then he continues. "They brought it back here and we sent it to the lab downstairs. There we found out that the ruby was darker than most and every time a someone touches they started to feel powerful. They could see farther they could pick up the heaviest things known to man. But the one reason everyone wants the necklace is that you can get anyone to bow down to you against their will and you could make them do anything you want then to do.  Every time you picked it up did you ever feel anything weird?" He asks with his eyebrow coked.

"Yeah" I say wryly. " I just get dizzy because I don't hold it that long. "

"Oh?" The guy says leaning back in his chair. " Do you have it with you?" He asks.

" No. " I lie trying to not show that I have just lied.

"Yes she does!" Jake screams pointing at me. "She had it with her last night I seen it in her jacket pocket!"

Trader.

"We would get along better if you didn't lie. Hmm?" The guy behind the desk asks.

"I'm not giving it to you so just forget it". I say as I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest making the guy behind the desk.

"I didn't say I wanted it. I need you to use it to help us get your parents back." He says.

"How can I help. I'm not strong. " I say.

"You can help way more than you think Alasha. Jake you will be watching after her until we get her parents back. Now get out I have work to do. "He says. I open my mouth and look at him s does Jake.

"Me take care of her. I'm not a babysitter sir. I can't take care of that girl. " I turn my head to face Jake.

"Um hello I'm right here I can hear everything you are saying. " I snap at Jake.

"Better you hear it now than later. " he snaps back as he turns his head to me. "If I have to take care of you for more than a day I will have to kill you. "

"Oh that does it!" I stand up and tackle him. Hitting him in the face multiple times as he fights back.

He pushes me to the ground and gets on top of me holding me down by my wrist. I quickly flip him over me until he is on the floor with me on top of him. He struggles against me grip as he tries to free himself. I bring my hand up to punch him in the face once more but a hand wraps around my first before I can smash him in the face again.

"That's enough. " the guy says harshly as he picks me up off of Jake. That bastard ruined my chance of hurting this guy. "You guys can play later. " he says as he sits me back down on my feet and helps Jake up.

I storm out of there but before I get out I hear the guy say something to Jake before I slam the door behind me to go and find Angel and Daniel.
