DAMON'S POV

I walked into the building and was greeted by a woman with long black hair. She had on all white and black shades.

"Right this way." The woman said. I walked forward until I was greeted by two big men. They patted me down and a big door opened. I'm not gonna lie I was mad scared.

I walked into the room and saw nothing but a chair. Did that mean for me to sit?

"What are you doing just standing there boy? Sit Down." The man said.

"Oh no thanks I think I'm fine cause you know I like to stand and-

"Sit. Down."

I sat down quickly. I tend to talk a lot when I'm scared but oh well.

"I don't want you to be afraid of me, I'm not a bad guy...I just want to help you." They guy said.

"Who are you?" I asked. I had to act innocent and dumb right?

"Pablo. I'm sure you've heard of me before." Pablo chuckled.

"No I don't know-

"Trust me, it's not I that is out to get you..it's my boss. Tell me where your friends are so I can help you."

"You really think I trust you?"

"Here." Pablo handed me a gun and stood right in front of me.

"I can't do anything to you now. You have the opportunity to kill me right now but you haven't because you trust me."

"You giving me your gun doesn't make me trust you." I said.

"What do you want me to do for you to trust me?" Pablo said.

"Let me walk out of here right now and never break into my house again...oh and leave my friends alone." I stood up and made my way for the door.

"It's wasn't me who did those things..like I said it was my boss."

"Who's your boss?"

"I can't tell you that, please just trust me and I can get you and your friends out of this. I don't want to hurt anyone that's why I'm here trying to help. My boss does the killing...I don't."

"Why are you working with him?" I asked.

"I have no choice...my boss...he thinks i brought you here to kill you and your friends, I'm just trying to help you."

"I don't understand...why are you all of a sudden trying to help us."

"All of this is a front. I'm not who you think I am..look this business runs in my family. My boss is my uncle. He makes me do these things, all I've ever wanted to do was get out of it. I'm threatened ever day that if I don't keep up this drug dealing stuff then he'll kill me. He took me in when I was 7 after my parents died in a car accident. He started making me deliver drugs at 10."

"Look I'm sorry man but I need to talk to my friends first...if you don't mind."

"Go ahead."

I stood up and walked out the doors. I went outside and saw Ari running up to me.

"Are you okay?" She said hugging me.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said

Everyone else came and I explained everything to them.

"Here, I recorded the whole conversation on my phone." I handed Huncho my phone and they all listened to the recording.

"I don't understand. Pablo killed my brother and now he wants to help us?" Huncho said.

"Are you sure it was Pablo though?" I asked.

"Well...I didn't see his face but I'm sure it was him-

"It could've been his uncle Huncho, Pablo doesn't have a choice in any of this...he could really be trying to help us." Arianna said.

"She's right. I think we should give him a chance." Braylon mumble.

"Are you guys crazy! This guy is trying to play us! But obviously y'all are too dumb to realize it!" Izzy yelled.

"Says the one who decided to run instead is of getting in the car when realizing someone's after you. You know you dumb that was Izzy? Haa you know a car is a lot faster than your legs. You were asking for that beating." Ari spit out harshly.

Everyone got silent.

"You think your so smart huh Ari? You think you know more than I do?" Izzy said stepping closer to her.

"Of course I do." Ari said.

"Man whatever."

We all talked for awhile longer and then decided on the best thing to do. We all came to the agreement that we would trust Pablo, everyone except Izzy.
