Desperado

Chapter Twenty Two

I climb off my bike making my way into the building. I scan my surroundings quickly before settling into the cafe booth near the back. I could see the whole building from here. My eyes catch those of another and they make their way over.

I flick my eyes over their appearance before settling back. Good. They're not late. The person sits down in front of me and I motion with my hand. They pull back their jacket and I see the envelope.

"Good. Wait outside."

They quickly leave and I scan the cafe before following outside. I shift my jacket walking into the alley. They hand me the envelope once we were hidden and mostly all darkness.

"Thank you. Thank you." They rumble and I nod before my eyes settle onto another.

"Hello there."

The male spins around and the other pushes off the wall.

"Katie Cakes."

"Fuck off," I state and he chuckles.

The man looks nervous as I hand the envelope to my father. My dad squeezes my hand and the male looks between us in fear.

"I-I got the money!"

"Yeah but you know I don't like people using my drugs."

"Please. I won't do it again!" The man begs us.

My dad's hand squeezes my shoulder and I pull out my HK VP9 and pull the trigger without much hesitation. His plea is silenced by the bullet entering his skull and killing him instantly. I see my dad getting on his phone before he hangs up. "

Call Luna. Have her meet you here. Neal with come and handle him."

"Okay."

He walks off leaving the alley the same way he got in. A mystery and unknown. I pull out my phone calling Luna as I tuck my gun back into my waistband. Neal comes and I nod as he starts getting to work. Luna bike files in with mine and I settle against her as I light up. She chuckles seeing this.

"Try the other stuff for once."

"I need my mind clear on the field not messed up."

She shrugs as we watch Neal get to work. He finally walks to us and I take the bullet he pulled and tuck it away.

"You two should go." I nod and he looks back inside. "Dom going to come and help me. Don't worry. We got this."

"Alright. Let's go, Luna."

She nods and we climb onto our bikes and leave the site. I watch as her brown her wipes in the air as she speeds through cars to get back to our spot. I speed up hitting the freeway and passing others. In this moment riding I feel free. Away from my daily life. Though one thing is on my mind. HQ. Queens, here I come.

'Imagine this instant, frozen in time. People will look back at this as the exact moment that last bit of Riverdale's innocence finally died. When darkness won. Marked by an act of violence, that was anything but random.'
