Tyler's POV
Natalia and I were talking when I received a text. I looked down at my mobile and saw it was from Dean.
It was 2.13am.
Dean: You still at the party?
"It's Dean." I kissed Natalia on the cheek.
Tyler: Yep we're down on the beach. You should be asleep you have that car to fix in a few hours.
Dean: I had contact again.
Over the last month every couple of days Dean would get weird texts or calls from an anonymous number. We knew it had something to do with Ethan's death.
Tyler: What did they say?
Dean: I'll send it to you
A few seconds later Dean forwarded the messages he'd received.
Private number: Dean, Ethan owed money so time you pay up. We've added interest, you have 2 choices, pay the debt or work off the debt.
Another lots of texts came through.
Dean: So how much does he owe?
Private number: $10k I need an answer within 24 hours.
F&ck!!!
My face dropped.
"You ok Tyler?" Natalia asked noticing my change of expression.
"Have a read." I gave Natalia my phone. She was silent until she read the last text.
"Oh my god. Is Dean going to be in danger!"
That was the question? He didn't have that sort of money to pay the debt off and they knew it. His family didn't need any more pressure. They'd already lost a son they shouldn't have to go through anymore tragedies.
"Not if I can avoid it." I smiled at Natalia.
"Please don't tell me you're going to get involved." She pleaded.
"Yes and No. But I promise I won't get hurt." I kissed her forehead and text Dean.
Tyler: So what's the plan?
Dean: Sell car I'd only get $2K they already know that. Sell phone I got for Christmas. Sell Deans old vinyls he collected, maybe worth something. Who knows?????
Tyler: We'll work something out.
Dean: Is Hunter still there? I'm picking her up tomorrow for our first date.
Tyler: Yeah, she'e having fun, there's just a few of us left, she's in good hands.
Dean: Jimmy's left her alone?
Tyler: Yeah he's kinda with Sam?
Dean: Really?
Tyler: Go get some sleep call me in the morning before you pick Hunter up for your date.
Dean: Will do .. nite
Natalia was about to say something when we both heard a piercing scream.
"What the hell?" We both got up and ran to see what had happened.
