Mafia Connections

Three

I wring my hands as I wait outside. Viktor had already drove off and left me to fend for myself. I let out a groan and push into the bar. I immediately spot raven haired Rose dancing with a guy. Gus watches with a hint of envy as he pretends to drink. The girl he's talking to doesn't notice him casually pouring his in hers every time she looks away.

The poor girl is obviously quite drunk as she grabs his arm and pulls him towards the dance floor. It amazes me how no one realises that we're only 16.

I blend in easily with my tight fitting, one-shouldered black dress and heels that I still can't walk far in. My skills only reach to being able to get away with it. Just.

I feel a hand on my arm and I turn to see Rob standing behind me. Sean must have been looking for something in the guys when they were chosen. All three of them were tall with dark hair and beautiful eyes. Rob had dazzling blue eyes that sparkled in the lights.

"Bella? I thought you escaped" he half shouts over the music.

I shake my head "Got myself kidnapped again. I did escape from there however" I smile "Chris and Kat are alive. They told everyone we were dead eighteen months ago"

He looks around him "He thinks your dead. You can still run"

"I can't Rob. Not this time" I sigh "I have to stay"

He sighed loudly "Fine. I need your help. Issac's drunk and I think Rose might be too"

I look over his shoulder at Rose who was now making out with her dance partner as she pulled his wallet out his back pocket. "That's not like her" I frown. Isaac maybe. Rose? Not so much. "At least we know where she is. Where's Isaac?"

A smile spread across Rob's face as he pointed upstairs. The bar was owned by a man we knew only as Liam. He let us use the apartment upstairs to hide away. "How did you get him up there?" I ask.

"With great difficulty. Great difficulty" he laughed.

"I'll get him. Keep an eye on Rose and Gus. Tell me if you see Sean anywhere" I say and he nods. I lean over the bar and grab the bartenders arm. Liam's hair has now been dyed silver compared to the neon green from last time. "I need upstairs" I say. He chuckles and tosses me the key "Thanks Liam. I owe you one"

"One? Bitch, you couldn't pay me back in a lifetime" he laughed. "Tell Isaac that if he's broke the TV again I'll smash his face in with the baseball bat"

I nod "Of course Liam. See you around"

I push past people and go up the stairs at the back of the bar. I unlock the door at the top and slip inside, locking it behind me. "Are you here to lecture me as well?" Issac calls out.

I laugh and walk in to see him sprawled out on the bed. "No. I'm here to make sure you don't decide that jumping out the window is a good idea"

He frowns. "That was you"

I raise an eyebrow "There was a pool below"

He laughs and then sits up "I thought you were dead. So I got drunk. And now I regret it" I sit on the bed beside him and he lies down with his head on my knee. "Please don't die" he said in a baby voice.

I laugh and stroke his hair "Sure thing. You know that I'm not going down without a fight though. If someone's going to kill me then the fucker's going to have to put in the effort"

He laughs "Love you" and then he closes his grey eyes and falls asleep. The door swings open behind me and I tense.

"Try to be quiet. He just fell asleep and I don't want to wake him up" I say as strongly as I can.
