Max's POV

Waking up on the couch in Parkers office was not how I expected to wake up. I wanted to be home in my fuzzy sheep pajamas under my heavy quilt. No I woke up with a coat laid over me still in my leather jacket and skinny jeans.

"Morning sleepy head" Parker yawned in the chair across the room.

Ignoring her I got up and looked out the door. Everyone was sleeping in the main room, the skinny and barely clothed girls were sprawled out onto the pool tables or asleep on the bar tables. Men laid two or three on a couch.

"They wanted to make sure that if they comeback that you were safe. You passed out in your brothers arms" Her hands rested on my shoulders.

"Even the girls" I looked up and she chuckled.

"Especially the girls Maxie" Her breath was warm agents the back of my neck. "Jack and your mom are the only ones upstairs"

"I have to go see Jack" without another word I sprinted for the stairs, jumping or moving around the sleeping bodied on the floor.

Upstairs I saw Jack on the couch while mom was on the bed. Leaning down I poked his cheek. Only getting a growling grunt I poked his nose.

"What the hell" his eyes fluttered open. "Max?"

"Yours truly" sitting crisscross on the ground I smiled.

"Are you ok?" He sat up quickly.

"Want to go for some breakfast? I'm sure you have even more questions now"

"I thought you'd never ask"

~~
Moments later we were both on our way to McDonalds. I dressed in one of the girl's plaid pants and a carton kitten shirt. It said "Hang in There" with a kitten hanging from a tree, how could I not pass that up. Jack had apparently ran home and got a bag of clothes for him and mom because he was dressed like he normally did for bed, sweats and a pull over sweatshirt.

"Maxie who was that" he looked down at me as he pulled into the parking spot.

"Spark" I looked back at him.

"And he like-"

"Yes he does" I got out of the car and started to head inside.

Jack got out of the car, locked it and fallowed me inside. He looked at me between a look of concern and anger.

"We will talk about this weather you like it or not Max" He got into the line with me.

Jack's POV

Sitting down with our trays full of food, she had sat across from me.

"Why" I started eating my food and so did she.

"Why does he like me?" her voice sounded humorous as if I already knew the answer.

"Yep" I started to cut my pancakes trying to look at them and her.

"I saved his life one day about 4 or five years ago"

"Why?"

"He was just a kid who was being beat up by an old man"

"What did you do to the old man?"

Silence.

The silence had settled around us the only small sound was on my fork cutting through the plastic container and her chewing.

"Max" I didn't know whether to drop it or to push her to tell me.

"I shot him twice in the chest" She put her food down and looked at me. "After I told him he didn't deserve to live"

Even more silence.

My little sister sat looking at me as if she had done the world a favor but didn't want to admit it to herself. A look between emotionless and calm.

"Max was he your first and that boy you-"

"He was Spark and yes that old man was my first kill" she picked up her hash brown again and began eating.

Flabbergasted was written all over my face and I knew it. How could I have not known about my sister doing this kind of work?

"Is this why mom doesn't work" I didn't mean to say aloud.

"Nope" she shoved the rest in her mouth.

She chewed her food and ducked in her seat a bit.

"She doesn't work because she can't. She was caught in a shooting a few years back and can't be around work or she gets stressed out. They said any over stress could break her completely" I grabbed a to go bag a few seconds later and packed the rest of the food surprised.

"Then why does she involve with the gang?"

"I'm not sure how it can't stress her out but when she's there she's calm and collected" Max helped pack the rest of the food.

Beep. Beep

Max looked at her phone in horror.

"What is it Max?' tilting my head a little I observed.

"It's Spark. He needs my help" she looked up.

"Why?!"

"His sister was kidnapped" she ran to the car and I fallowed at her pace. "Drop me off at the corner store, cover for me at school please"

"Sure"
