Chapter 12 - Strong In My Own Way

Ugh. My head hurts. What happened? All I remember was... Shit.

My eyes fluttered open and I let out an unattractive groan. I found myself sitting on a lap with the person's arms around my waist as I laid my back against their chest.

"She's awake." The person gravelly muttered, breathing hot air into my ear and I recognized him as Ray.

Now I'm going to admit, that was really hot. Who wouldn't think that though? It's like that weird cliche high school romance, where the 'Bad Boy' runs his hand through his hair and it makes an entire sea of fangirls swoon.

I'm not even joking, it happens in almost every book I've read. I've seen it happen once at my school too. Of course, I wasn't affected though. I was too busy laughing at how fast Mason's fans got nose bleeds when he did it.

One time, a rumor got out that a girl passed out when Mason winked at her. I think she moved away because she was so embarrassed.

"Melissa." Ray cleared his throat. I snapped out of my thoughts and realized that Jordan and Marcus were standing in front of me with worried expressions.

I looked around and saw that Ray and I were on my bed and Marcus and Jordan were standing in front of us.

"W-what? What's going on? What's happening?" I ask, not sure what's about to happen in this situation.

"We have all decided that you need to know more about us. I mean, considering you're our maid and all." Jordan shrugged.

"What? Why?"

"Well, that'd be pretty weird, working for people you don't know. Don't you have any questions at all?" Ray stated behind me.

"I do," I muttered.

"Great! This will come for a price but we'll get to that later!" Jordan cheered quickly.

"Wait, wha-"

Marcus interrupted. "We are a gang. Surprising. I know. Our gang is called the 'Bullet Ants'."

"I named it! It's amazing, right?" Jordan added suddenly, boasting about his genius name.

It could be better.

"As I was saying," Marcus cleared his throat. "Our ways of getting money would be quite disturbing in your point of view, so I guess you can ask if you really want to know. But as you can see," Marcus gestured to my room. "we have a lot of money, so that would probably raise the chances of you ever asking. However, in the time being, you must know our names and jobs to help the confusion on where we stand.

"This is Raymond Samuel Green, The Boss." Marcus gestured towards Ray behind me, and then to Jordan. "This is Jordan Evan Jackson, The Hacker." Marcus moved his hand to himself. "And I am Marcus June, I do most of the dirty work."

Raymond Samuel Green.

Jordan Evan Jackson.

Marcus June.

June.

Where have I heard that last name before?

"I won't tell you everyone's personal information because it's not my say to tell you, but you can go ahead and ask questions." He finished.

Definitely wasn't the best way to tell me everything about yourselves but I guess it's my turn to talk now.

"Um... okay?" I paused to think. "What do you do with the other girls? When you first took me, Jordan said that you guys did something with them but you wouldn't tell me."
