The day dragged on really fast. The rush seemed to be really heavy today. Its late evening and still the cafe is brimming with people. Suddenly my phone buzzes. Cheryl. "Hey girl I just wanted to remind you that I will be late...dont wait for me....get a cab to go home...do NOT walk down the alleys. They are really dangerous at night. Call me when you get home. Oh and James want to talk to you for a sec." The phone shuffles and James deep voice. " Hey Rose how have you been? " I smile
" It has been a hectic day today...I am fine...how are you Jamy boy." He chuckles. "First don't call me Jamy boy... You know I don't like it...and yes return home safely. I will remind Cheryl to call you up to check on you ... Toodles" " Yes dad..." I laughed back.I lost the track of time and it almost gave me a mini heart attack as my eyes landed on the wall clock. 10 o clock already! Shit I won't even get a cab now. Great just wow.
I immediately make my way to the accounts desk to meet Mrs Brown. " Hello Mrs Brown...do you think it will be okay if I leave now...its dark and almost 10:30....I have to walk down my house. I won't get a cab now." She looked at me sympathetically..." Darling I thought you already left....you shouldn't walk down the sreets at such an hour...don't you read the papers....The crime gang is back in the town." I looked at her wide eyed. "Well I ..I dont think it makes any difference...I didn't harm them...I just mind my own business..so I guess...it's not a problem.." Though I talk confidently enough...but..a bit of a strange pang of fear leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
After waving goodnight to all the staff I open the cafe door and step out in the November's windy night. Why did I had to wear this dress today. I rubbed my bare arm to warm them up and mounds of goosebumps rose all over my body. I stood on the forked road of the alley. I gulped as a gust of air blew dirt all around. Not a soul in sight. Be strong Rose...there is nothing to fear. By repeating this mantra over and over in my head I walk through the dark alley.I let out a sigh and my warm exhaled breath smoked up in the cold air.
" Do you really think you can get away with it?" A muffled scream comes to my ear. I tip toed forward and peeked. "You filthy mutts do you know who I am?" He screams again. The man who was screaming was pushed against the brick wall. "Give us the money Derek...or we know how to spill your guts and feed them to our dogs. " The tall man says with a calm voice. The man pushed the tall man and ran towards the bending where I was hiding. Two loud shots. The man slumped. Fell in front of me. I stood there frozen. Run. My mind screamed but I was unable to move a muscle. The silhouette of the hooded man came to inspect the body and he stopped dead in his tracks as soon as his eyes fell on me. "Fuck." He muttered under his breath. I somehow managed to turn and run. I ran and I felt him hot on his feet behind me. The mossy concrete and my jelly shoes did not help. I fell right on my face. My head banged on the floor hard and my knees were numb with pain.
I felt cold, slender fingers grasp my forearms roughly. He pulls me up and as my knees hurt..I slump over his chest. His green eyes were filled with anger. His jaws were hard and stiff. His brown hair fell on his forehead. My throat went dry. I licked my chapped lips as my vision starts to blur...i felt his fingers tightened around my skin. The sting of pain made me dizzy. His lips moved .He might have said something...but I could not hear. My head hurts. Suddenly a viel of darkness covered my eyes and the last thing I remember was slumping on a hard chest and strong arms roughly holding me to his chest. " Shit." He muttered.
