Justin’s POV:
I knew exactly where I was going.
It took three minutes to figure it out, leaving me with seven minutes to reach the place. It would take nine minutes at a walk, about eight minutes 30 seconds at a brisk walk and just about seven minutes at a full on sprint.
For a fleeting moment, the question popped into my mind – how am I even failing math?
I then set off, knowing that waiting for a taxi in New York would be stupid considering my time limit. My legs pumped mercilessly as I swerved round people and crashed through them, not caring about who I knocked into. When your girlfriend is on the brink of being murdered, a few shoulder bashes with some random strangers doesn’t really call for an apology.
Without slowing down, I yanked my phone from my pocket, pressing the speed dial of 2 and holding the phone to my ear.
“Wassup, bro?” The voice of Noah, the guy who had informed me of Richard’s plans on the phone that morning, crackled through.
“Noah…” I gasped. “Get… to… warehouse…NOW.”
“On it.” Then the line went dead.
If I wasn’t so scared, I would have grinned at my best friend’s ability to drop everything and help me out. Yeah, Noah was my best friend. Chaz and Ryan were cool, but I hadn't been through the same shit I'd been through with them like I had with Noah. He’d been in the business as long as I had, but had always managed to maintain a level head, unlike me. That meant that while I was on Richard’s hit list, Noah was able to stay comfortably in the trust zone. What Richard didn’t know was that Noah hated his fucking guts and wanted him dead as much as I did. But what Rich doesn’t know won’t hurt him, right?
Before I slid my phone back into my pocket, I glanced at the time and realised I had two minutes until I had to be at the warehouse.
Sweat poured down my back as I ran, each moment passing with the wild thumping of my heart. A couple minutes passed and the warehouse came into view, much to my relief.
I didn’t slow down until I was outside the door, flinging the rusted thing open and bursting inside like a madman.
There, in the middle of the room, sat Gracie, sickly pale with mascara tainting her usually adorably flushed cheeks. Richard stood in front of her, his hands behind his back, a smug look on his face as he whipped his head around to look at me.
Noah stood close by to him, his chest heaving up and down, a sure sign he’d ran just as fast as I had to get here.
“Ah, Justin! I must say, I’m slightly disappointed.” Richard’s rough voice echoed as I took a few cautious steps forward, my eyes fixed on my girlfriend. Her stare, however, was glued to the floor, unblinking and glazed over. Richard glanced down at his watch.
“If you’d have been just seven seconds later then darling Gracie’s brain would be painting the floor right now.”
At that, Gracie’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with shock and fear. As I moved closer, I could see her body was trembling.
“How did you know where we were?” I asked quietly, ignoring his previous disgusting statement.
“You see, Justin, when you’re as rich and as powerful – not to mention as handsome – as I am,” he began and I scoffed humourlessly. “There are certain perks in life.”
I nearly fell over when a woman joined his side from the shadowed corner of the room.
“No fucking way.” I muttered, staring at the girl.
“You little whore.” Gracie hissed hoarsely. That’s my girl.
Stood before us was the snarky barista from Starbucks. Yep, that’s right.
“Are you kidding me right now?” I asked in disbelief, grimacing as Richard slung a careless arm over her shoulder. Even Noah looked confused.
“I employed Jessica here to keep an eye on you two whilst working her weekend job. As you can see, it worked out quite nicely.” Richard smirked and Jessica leaned into him, grinning sickeningly.
Richard removed his arm from her and instead attached his lips to hers instead. I grunted in disgust, rolling my eyes and looking away. Gracie stared at her lap and Noah let out a low whistle. Was this seriously happening right now?
I made a move to go and untie Gracie, but Richard broke away from Jessica and held a finger out towards me.
“Ah, ah, ah!” He commanded patronizingly. “You leave her be.”
I took a steadying breath, trying to keep calm and not fly over there and rip his head off his shoulders.
The doors opened with a clang again and we all looked over to see two burly bodyguard type men entering the warehouse.
“Right on time.” Richard smiled, before moving his gaze to Jessica. “Jess, sweetheart, you were brilliant. But I won’t be needing you anymore.”
Jessica’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion but before she could say anything, Richard whipped out a gun from the inside of his jacket and pressed it against the side of her head, pulling the trigger without a second thought.
Gracie screamed out as the girl’s body slumped sickeningly to the musty floor and Noah visibly swallowed, staring down at her frame with wide eyes.
“Really, Boss? Really?” He asked, quirking an eyebrow.
“Shut up, Noah.” Richard replied, before turning to me. The two guards made their way over, scooping up Jessica’s limp, lifeless body and removing her from the room.
I clenched my jaw, averting my eyes from the scene and looking straight at the man in front of me.
“What did you tell her?” I demanded.
“Just about everything.” He replied carelessly, replacing his gun back inside his jacket. I risked a glance over at Gracie to find her already glowering at me, her eyes, usually so bright and cheerful, dark and full of disgust.
