The deal

1.Meeting

So many things are happening around me.I can hear and see them,but yet I still feel like I'm not here.Like everything stopped.Do you know that feeling?The feeling of complete helplessness?When you would do anything to change sequence of certain events,just to come back to the part of your life before it all started falling down.I always loved to listen my fathers stories.He is a cop.I mean he used to be.When I was a kid,we had this thing.He would wear a superman t-shirt under his uniform and when he came home he would tell me how did they defeated "the villains".I used to think there's nothing that he can't deal with it. I've tried to be like him.To be strong and don't give up.But,now I really see how weak I am.

After he died financial situation have been very bad.We had to sacrifice a lot,including  our house and my college.It was hard in the beginning,but we were happy that we are together.Then Sammy,my little brother,got sick.He needs a new lungs.And that's the reason why am I kneeling behind a dumpster.We tried everything.We don't make that much money and this is the second time that bank refused us.I don't know how to say it to my mom.

Loud noise brought me back to the reality.Two bulky guys,dressed in black,were holding down someone.The person was slightly bruised.It seems like they haven't noticed me yet.I was trying to see how bad his injuries are when he started to plead for them to let him go.

-Shut up,Jack.You did this to yourself. -The left one said and punched him right on the head.He was bleeding from the nose now.

The door opened again.I think I will never forget the look that the Jack guy had on his face.It was utter fear.Like he had seen a devil himself.But I could see why.The man on the entrance wasn't physically different from the other humans beings.But his face hold such a cruelty I have never seen on anyone.Air around him radiated power.It was clear that these people meant trouble.Just when he was about to reach under his jacket the tune of my phone lingered over the place.I was frantically trying to shut it down,but it was to late.A big hand pulled me up on my feet and I almost tripped over.I couldn't hear anything from my own beating heart. I've seen the gun and involuntary shrunk back.The sound of body hitting the ground had me jump in a place.

-Clean the mess,I'll deal with the girl.-Deep rough voice barked the order.

-Yes,boss. 

That was  all that needed to be said for them to get to the work.All I could see is two lifeless eyes watching me and a bloodied hole on a forehead. I couldn't hold it anymore. I've throw up the contents of my stomach right in front of me.He let me finish and roughly yanked my upper arm throwing me inside of the building.It was an empty club.I was trying to get myself free from his grasp,now already panicking.

-I wouldn't,if I was on your place,krolik.(Bunny/rabbit)

With force he shoved me down on the sofa and made me look at him. 

-Here,put it on the speaker and act like everything is normal.If you don't  I'm not going to hurt only you,understand?

He just threatened my mom.I can't let my family to get involved.With shaky hands I took the phone.

-Ana,why are you not answering me?Are you okay?

-Ye..s..Mom,I'm fine.I didn't have signal.

-Ah,thank God,you scared me.Tell me,how did it go in the bank?

When I looked up I could see his eyes analyze my every move almost predatory.I didn't want to talk in front of him about Sam,but I didn't have any choice.

-They..they refused to give us a loan,mom.

-Oh,Ana,what are we going to do?  I could hear that she's holding herself to not to cry,which makes it  even harder for me.
