Dirty Choices

Chapter 1

           

"Milena, your freedom is accepted. You can grab your stuff, in 1h you'll be free to go."

This was the sentence I repeat over and over again in my head. I couldn't believe I was going to be free in less than 1 hour. But the question was who got me out of here, because normally I had to be in jail for another 5 months.

"Antonio lets go, we have to get out of here! Come on!" I yelled pulling on Antonio's arm to get him out of the room. "Ant please the police is coming!" I yelled even louder now, but he didn't move. His eyes were dark and filled with hate. "Milena go!" he turned around to face me "GO" he now yelled. I looked him deep in the eyes "Remember we would never let each other down, I'm not leaving you!" I screamed with tears in my eyes. "Mili, listen I've to deal with this stuff please listen to me and leave!" I heard the noise of the police car which was in front of the house now. It was too late. We were both fucked. Antonio was still looking at me and I could see tears in his eyes. This was the first time our mission didn't go as it should be. "Ant.." I couldn't finish my sentence because someone came inside. "Well well, the family Lopez" he laughed.

I got out of my thoughts because of someone who was trying to get my attention. "Milena hello?" I looked at my lawyer. "Yeah I'm sorry how long are you here?" I gave him a small smile. "Long enough to see you were having a flashback." We both laughed.

"David, can you please tell me who got me out of here? Because I know this ain't your work." I smiled letting him know I was joking. "Well Milena, to be honest, I don't know, someone gave a lot of money and with a lot I mean a lot of money to get you out of here." I knew this wasn't good at all, who would give so much money to get me out of here? I was so confused. "Oh and the person didn't say his name I guess?" I asked hoping for a more helpful answer.

"No.. I'm sorry I don't know, but hey don't worry you are free! That's good right?" I knew this was going to give me a lot of troubles, but I am Trouble.. Nobody can bring me in more Trouble than I can do. "Yeah I'm cool!" I nodded and I could see he knew I was lying. "Well you done? It's time to go!" he stood up and took my suitcase "Lets go!" he walked out of my 'room'. I looked back at my bed and the walls where I had spent 5 months of my life.

I got out of my room and two police officers were standing next to me. "Milena your prayers are heard by God!" one of them smiled. Everyone loved me here because I was someone who didn't make trouble out of nowhere. Only in times were it was needed to let some people know they weren't the Queen of this jail. "Thanks you and yeah thank God!" I kissed my cross around my neck and looked up at the sky. "Lets go." I could feel my breathing getting heavier. This was it I was going to be free.

"Goodbye" the guard said while closing the gate behind me. I stood there frozen in silence. The only thing I could do was breath in and out. Fresh air, birds making noises, cars driving by, people walking around... I turned around to see the place where I had spent 5 months. I let out a breath knowing I was free.

"Miss Lopez?" I turned around to see a taxi. "Yeah that's me?" I asked confused. I didn't even call a taxi yet. "Someone told me to pick you up and bring you to your apartment." The man said innocently. My apartment how did he know where my apartment was? This was confusing. "Who has send you?" I could see the man was thinking of an answer. "I don't know he didn't say his name." I sat down on the passenger's seat. It's a 'he' I thought to myself.

We started driving to my apartment. This was all confusing, but I'll know soon who got me out of here and why. I just hope they were smart enough to not fuck with Trouble.
