Anna's POV

5pm, Yakuza House, Thursday

"You lying sick son of a bitch." I shout at John as I enter the kitchen of the Yakuza house.

"Hello to you too Anna." John laughs.

"You lied to me John. You went there to fight." I groan.

"Did you really think I was going to talk business with those low life's?" he laughs.

"Fuck you John. I've always been nice to you, always."

"And I'm very thankful for that Anna but I will never be friends with the Penetrators."

"That doesn't mean you have to beat them up."

"They're the ones who brought their guys."

"You did too so shut it."

"Maybe so."

"You have to stop, I can't continue seeing Chris and William hurt."

John laughs.

"You treat them like family, like they are your whole world." John laughs.

"Because they are." I respond.

"I thought you had real family, you know, like your brother, Erik."

"What does Erik have to do with this?"

"He has everything to do with this."

"What do you mean?"

John just smiles and looks behind me. I turn around slowly to see none other than Erik, my brother.

"Erik?" I question in disbelief.

"Hey monkey." Erik smiles at me.

"What, what are you doing here? Dad said you were in Brazil."

"I was but I came back."

"Why?"

"Business here in Oslo."

"With Yakuza?"

"Yes Anna, they're my crew."

"Excuse me?"

"Anna, they work for me, they're my sellers. There are Yakuza crews of mine all around the world."

"What? This is some sick joke." my breathing gets heavy.

"It's not." Erik responds.

"How could you do that to my friends?" I can barely breathe by now.

"Breathe Anna, breathe." Erik takes me in his arms which I grip tightly.

Erik brings me to the couch and hugs me until I calm down, damn panic attacks.

Erik lays me down on the couch and strokes my hair, I fall asleep.

10pm, Yakuza House

I wake up to my phone ringing incessantly, Noora's name appears on my phone.

"Where the hell are you?" William shouts through the phone.

"Let me talk to her William." Noora says.

"Hello?" I question.

"Hey, quick question, where are you?" she asks me.

"Don't tell Chris or William but I'm at the Yakuza house, I'll explain later. Just tell them I'm at Eva's, ok?" I explain.

"Uh yeah, no problem."

"Thank you, bye." I say and hang up.

I stick my phone in my back pocket and get off the couch and head to the kitchen.

No one is there so I make myself some toast and a cup of tea before going to sit in front of the TV.

"You feeling better monkey?" Erik asks walking into the living room.

"Yeah. Where did you go?" I ask him.

"Business." he responds.

"Of course. Can I stay here tonight?"

"For sure, we have an extra room, you can take it."

"Thanks and you don't mind taking me to school tomorrow?"

"I don't, get some rest monkey." Erik kisses my forehead before disappearing somewhere.

I take my stuff to the kitchen before heading up to bed, it's pretty easy to find, it's the only one without a name on the door.

Some of the boys live here like Erik and John and about five more.

The room is really nice, there's a double bed, an ensuite, a walk in closet, a tapestry like I like them and some photos. I look at the photos closely and see they are photos of Erik, my dad and I and then it hits me, this room is made for me.

I can't believe Erik, he wants me to stay.

He's dead tomorrow.
