A Soft Devil (COMPLETED)

Chapter 14

After he answered her, she sucked in a big breath before slowly bringing her arms to her chest. She sat there with her arms crossed with her thinking face. When that expression laid on her face, anything that could come out of her mouth.

We waited until she finally spoke, "That's the reason why you said your name was Ciara, you didn't pick up my calls, and you weren't home that night?" Kayla asked still facing forward, but I knew she was talking to me.

"Yea because they didn't need to know all my business, and I didn't know I would have to send the night with them," I explained.

She remained silent making this ride even more uncomfortable.
"What do you guys do?" She spoke up again with her arms still crossed. I knew she directed that question to Chris, and he knew it too.

"W-What do you mean?"

"I mean what the fuck do you guys do? Do you kill and rob innocent people, rape women, pimp them, sex traffic them, deal drugs? What do y'all do?" Her voice and tone was tight.

"No Kayla, fuck I look like. I'm not some fucking rapist or pyhsco. We just deal and kill our gang rivals. Chill with that wack shit," he told her. He seemed disgusted that she even brought up those other topics.

She exhaled a shaky breath and run her hand through her hair. "You've," she stopped herself before gulping loudly. "You've killed people?"

"Yes and no."

"It's either yes or fuckin no, Chris?" She asked aggressively as all her patience went out the window.

He was hesitant before answering yes.

"Oh God," she whispered to herself.

"If it makes you feel any better, they all deserved it."

"How many people have you," she gulped before fishing her question. "Killed?"

"Less than you think. Maybe like two people, but that was like the start of the year when that happened. We mostly just beat the shit outta people where they wish they were dead."

My head started to spin after he said that. If the last person he killed was some time at the start of the year, but Jessie was killed in October then Grayson must've been the one to kill Jessie. There were only six people in that room that day after Ethan and I left. Chris, Grayson, Jessie, Carlos, Ted, and Fred. Grayson and Chris seemed to know what they were doing and had a plan. This was all planned out by Alex, now that I think about when he said remember the plan before we walked out that day. That's what the boys must've been discussing when Lina was helping me settle in. They all knew about this, but Frank, and maybe that was the best, but if Grayson and Chris were the only two left in that room who knew the plan, yet Chris hasn't killed anybody since the start of the year, so it had to be Grayson to pull the trigger. I don't know how to feel about that. Yes, Jessie had a terrible personality and mulitple other flawed factors, but was it nescesary to kill him?

I saw Kayla close her eyes inhaling and exhaling from her nose trying to gasp the facts he just told her.
"Ok I'm good now," she announced.

"So we're good?" Chris asked in a hopefully voice.

She turned her head to the side to look at him. "Don't push it Chris."
