Dark Waters (SLOW UPDATES)

James

After letting Mrs. Terry patch me up like I promised I filled my car up with gas till it was overflowing. I had cars lined up on the street to help me look for my wife. God must be on my side dive the sun is it out without a cloud in the sky. As soon as the first light hit I was up and ready. I told Tommy about what happened and apparently he knows some guys that have been looking around for Leo for a long time.

You wouldn't guess who one of the guys is?

Remember the guy who was helping Leo, Terry, his old henchmen? The beast that made me get on that bus before I was sent out to war?

Well as you can tell by the name he's Mr. and Mrs. Terry's son. His name is Harold Terry. Apparently all that time ago when he was helping out Leo he was supposed to be getting a cut out of the money Leo stole from the Philips. Leo promised to pay him back in diamonds after robbing some bank in Connecticut but drove off with everything and left my new buddy behind to take the wrap. He got sentenced to six years in prison. I guess ever since he got out Harold and his gang have been chasing Leo all over the map to get his money.

And on top of that, apparently everybody in this damn town has had secret issues with Leo from the past. And most of it seems like it stems from false promises, lies, and large amounts of debt that Leo has created. So I invited everyone along on my trip.

Including his girlfriend Louise.

Someone heard her calling for help from her apartment on the basement with a few stab wounds to the waist. Louise was able to stop herself from bleeding out and drag herself to the door and someone heard her. She can hardly keep her eyes open or take her next breath but after getting help from Mrs. Terry she wanted to ride along. I asked Mr. Barns if he wanted to come but he seemed to be trapped in his own thoughts so I left him be. I'm getting Denise back for the both of us. 

"We're riding with you." Harold said before climbing in my car with four other guys. I looked behind me and all these people were waiting for me ready to go.

"I wanna thank how many of you there are for coming out to search for my wife with me. Either you're here to help me out or to settle some unfinished business with Leo I want to thank you. Leo is a trickster so don't be suprised if Leo is surrounded by a bunch of scary looking people to make himself look tough. A old friend of his, Harold, told me where he might be hiding out and he's going to guide us there." I looked around at the street full of cars. "Leave now if you're not sure about this." I waited a few seconds and no one budged. "Okay then let's go." I got in my car and started it up.

Harold sat in the passenger seat reading a map. "It's a day out but if we keep going we'll get there shortly. We're going to keep going down this road out of town and out into the country side."

I nodded and put my foot down on the gas.

Denise

"Put this on. You need to cover up." He tossed some clothes at me and sat down in a chair by the doo'. "Can ya give me some privacy?... Please?" He smirked. "Why? I've seen all you got to offer Mrs. Montclair." He chewed on that toothpick while it sat on the corna' of his mouth. I hope his ass choke on it and die.

He beat my ass the whole way here. Ain't no since of fightin his big ass bacl, he'll just keep knockin my ass out. "Can I take a shower first?"

"I don't see why not. We can take one together." He stood up and took the clothes from me and tossed them on the chair he was sittin on. He went ova ta the corner in the room where a record playa sat. "Let me play something fancy for ya." A woman's voice came trough as soon as the needle hit the record.

"Denise I never seen a woman as light as you in my life. I never you asked you this but, is your mama white?"

"No my grandmother is, my grandfather was light himself." He came close ta me and grabbed ma jaw. "That explains all this pretty hair." He pulled ma head back and I felt those crusty lips of his kiss me on the neck. "You look much prettier with your hair back sweet heart." He let ma head go slowly.

"Undress me." He said takin a step back. "Can't you do it yourself?" He laughed. "You want me to hit you girl?" I shook my head. "Then undress me."

Third person

Denise raised her shaking hands to his shirt and started to unbutton it. "You could have it all baby. You like jewelry? Fancy dresses? Those high heels that make you look taller? Hair styles that only the rich and famous can wear?" He asked watching her as she untucked the shirt from his pants to get the last two buttons. "I wanna take you away from here darlin. I want to put you in luxury, have you driving cars you've never even dreamed of." Denise started on his belt but he stopped her. "Let me get that. I don't want ya to get any ideas." He took it off and threw it out of reach.

Denise through her plan out the window. She was about to get that belt and beat his ass.

"Go ahead and undo those pants baby." Denise unbuttoned the top and pulled down the zipper. "Pull them down baby. Get them drawls too." Denise pulled them down and turned her face as a smell hit her nose. "That's the smell of a king honey. James could never possess a smell this strong. In some cultures smells like this mean high-class."  Denise put a hand over her mouth as the stinch made her gag.

Leo stepped out of his clothes and took Denise's hand.

He led her to the bathroom connected to the room. The hardwood floors creaked under their steps. "I want what's best for you, Denise. I want to give you the world. I want to tie a string around the moon and give it to you." Denise rolled her eyes. "What would I do with the moon?" He turned the water on and it started out brown. They were in Leo's old childhood home, untouched for years. "It's would be yours to do what you want." He smiled showing his yellow brown teeth.

"Leo I don't want those things." Denise said trying to back away.

"But why? You could have it all." Leo grabbed her arms and pulled her to him. "I can do all those things for you. Well I can't get you the moon but I can get you diamonds, rubies, emerald, pearls, that are just as big." He pulled her in the shower under the hot water. Denise shrug her shoulders up to her ears in pain.

"I don't want it Leo!" He shook his head. "You do, you do. You just don't know it yet." Leo started to wash the dry blood from her her nose and mouth. "You're delusional Denise. James couldn't even get you a wedding ring with a big enough diamond to see. You have to squint to even know it's there."

"I love my wedding ring, I love the dresses my husband buys me. I love the car we share, I love what we have." Leo ran his left hand down her back as the water covered the both of them. "You can have so much more."

Leo made sure she was clean before moving her to stand under the water. "Wash me." He said looking down at her. She  stood there hesitant to do so. "Do it!" She took the rag from his hand and wiped his chest. Dirt ran down the drain as he watched her. "So beautiful." He said smiling down at her. "I'm going to get us away from all this. Away from your poor husband James, your boring life, having to work over 12 hours a day like some house slave. I got you Denise. You're all mine now. You never have to live like that again."

Denise looked up at him and with rage in her eyes. She dropped the rag and wrapped her hands around his neck.
