HOURS LATER…
KNOCK!! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!
Michelle jumps in her bed. Not realiy wanting to get up and leave Michael’s side. Slipping out of bed walking to bedroom door. Suddenly Michael grabs her arm.
Michael; Please don’t tell anyone I’m here. Please he’s freaking out. Promise me!!! They can’t know or we’re dead!!
Michelle; I don’t understand? Michael you are scaring me!! Looking like she’s about to cry.
Michael; I..I.. saw something horrible.. something really bad… and…. Crying hard….
Michelle; What do you mean? You saw who? I.. I don’t understand.
Michael crying hard his shoulders heaving with the fear and sorrow of what he witnessed.
Michelle. I can’t help if you don’t tell me. Please Michael we have always shared everything.
Michael; I can’t!! I can’t!! I won’t let them hurt you!! I love you!! I won’t!!
Michelle; Please let me help you. I love you too.. we just shared the most beautiful of love making. You are my first and I can’t think of anyone that I wanted to share that with more.. please.. Michael I love you.
Michael; I love you too Michelle; looking down, biting his lip. Sighing heavily. You now what people have always said about my father?
Michelle; Yes so, what do gossips know?
Michael; Apparently, a whole lot more than me. He is a crime boss. He’s killed people. He’s robbed and kidnapped. Had people disappear, raped and omg.. Michelle. He’s in a fight with the Gambino’s.. Tom’s family ties. I’m so dead!! I’m so dead!!! Crying.
Michelle; Wait!! Stop!! It’s all true, the whispers we all heard? Michael why didn’t you mother tell us or leave I don’t understand.
Michael; It’s because we always thought he was in to sales and import export. Oh he is alright.. just.. sigh.. drugs, weapons, human trafficking. Oh god it’s awful!!!
Michelle; Oh god Michael, You all need to get away from him.
Michael; My brothers are in it now too Jermaine killed a man last week and now and now…..crying
Michelle : Holding Michael, ssssshhh.. it’s okay it’ll be okay.
Michael; NO!! NO!! IT’S NEVER GOING TO BE AGAIN!! I SAW THEM KILL SOMEONE!!! ME!! NOW I’M A TARGET!!
Michelle: What??? How are you?? You saw??? Michael omg…. What happened?? Tell me so we can do what we must!!
Michael; NO!! I CAN’T GET YOU INTO IT!! I WON’T!! Crying
Michelle: Well I am in it!! I love you and I will not let them hurt you or take you from me!! Now spill Michael.. tell me it all!!
Michael: But-
Michelle; No buts.. talk..
Michael; Okay. Sighing heavily. The man Jermaine killed was like his first initiation into dad’s business. My Father gave him a job to get rid of someone trying to muscle in on his territory. What he didn’t tell my brother is that the man is the nephew of Anthony Gambino. Crime Boss. So, Tom’s family comes in and pose as new comers. Tom is a hit man. He’s been doing this since he was 12 no one would suspect a kid. Anyway, they are here after the man who killed the nephew to Gambino
Michelle; That’s Jermaine they are after right? So, where do you fit into this?
Michael; I.. I.. well, Jermaine is okay now. What happened is. Tom was going to kill him and I stopped him. I knocked him out. And got Jermaine out of there. The next day, I am walking down Hobart, you know by the back of the park? Anyway, I heard something so just normal curiosity go over to see what it was. I saw Jermaine kill Tom. I couldn’t believe it. My brother. I guess I made and noise and he saw me. He’s my brother, I never thought… shaking his head he starts to cry.
