Jason's POV

After lunch, I went back home to work a little. Nick and I had business to get done. Bryson was at the airport to pick up Ryan and Sara. They were in Mexico to wrap up the next deal for us and now we were expecting our next shipping.
"Nick? Meeting. Now!" I shouted standing at the bottom of the staircase.
"What's up, McCann?" he said, coming down the stairs. He yawned while putting on a white tee and ran through his short curls.
"Ryan and Sara told me that our order is going to arrive within 5 days. Jonathan already offered us a price but Sara told me not accept it right now. She said that we should wait until other interested people show up." Jonathan was the owner of a popular club in town, 99 problems.
Nick nodded. "Did Bryson tell them about the shooting?" he said and took out two bottles of beer. He opened them and gave it to my right hand since my left shoulder was wounded. And because I'm right-handed.
"Yeah. They assume that it was Keith and his boys. He is still mad about the deal we lurched. Or because we killed three of his men. Or because we crashed his ferrari." Keith and I were rivals since forever.
"Are you in for revenge?" Nick asked mischievously. Funny that he thinks it is necessary to ask even though the answer is pretty clear.
"Hell yeah."
"Good." Nick grinned at me. "Oh and Jonathan wants you to visit him at 99 problems. He told me that he wants you alone."
I nodded. Jonathan and I were never close so I wondered what he wanted from me.

Haley's POV

"Haaaaaay!"
I had just arrived home and Cathy was already screaming my name. Well, nickname.
"What's the matter?" I muttered. I was still thinking about that Jason boy.
"Your parents are gone for some time. Your mum said that they will be back on monday. That's why we are going clubbing tonight." Cathy pulled my arm towards her room and dragged me down on her bed. 
"Tiffany told me about this club downtown. 99 problems. Banger." She made weird face expression. She was obviously very excited. "And she gave me these." she said and handed me two cards.
"Fake-IDs? Seriously... Can't we just hang here? Order some Pizza? Watch a shitty but funny movie? Like these horror movies where the teens go to the woods to film a documentary? Letting the boy with the shaky hands film the scene with a mobile phone? Then hearing weird noises and deciding to split up? As if the chance would decrease and they won't get killed by a serial killer?"
"No."
"Ok. But at least lemme take a power nap." I demanded. She nodded and I turned around heading towards my room. I stripped down my clothes and put on a pair of sweatpants and an oversized tee. I threw myself on my bed and covered my whole body with the sheets and snuggled my face into my pile of pillows.
I woke up in a dark room. I felt the cold ceilings. And some liquid. Suddenly a very weak but effective light turned on. Blood. Everywhere. As soon as my eyes got comfortable with the lighting, I was able to see a body. I crawled to it just to notice that it was Jason. I reacher over to touch his cheek but immediately snapped back my hand. He was freezing cold. I took my index and middle finger and searched for his pulse below his jawline. Nothing. Suddenly my eyes started to fill with tears. I whispered Jason's name for several times but he didn't move or anything. A tear fell down my eye and hit Jason's chest. I forced my eyes to shut.

I opened my eyes and saw a familiar room. I had a dream. Nothing special. But I was still confused about why Jason was involved. As a dead body.
I lifted my pillow to take my phone. 19:28
Cathy was probably already dressed up, so I went inside my bathroom and took off my clothes. I stepped into the shower and turned the water on. The water hitting my body helped me to get rid of my tiredness. After finishing showering I covered my body and blow dried my hair. I decided to curl it and put on some heavy makeup. If I was a youtuber I would have called it a full face glam makeup. Adding some silver hoop earrings, I took a white crop top from my drawer and matched it with a silver glitter miniskirt and black pumps. I grabbed a small black bag with a silver thick chain and went over to Cathy room. I was about to knock the door but Cathy swung open then door
"Damn mami" I said with a jaw drop. She wore black leather dress with laces on both sides showing off her sides combined with black shiny pumps and a black clutch.
"All black huh?"
"Yeah. Well, we should get going. It's almost 21 o'clock." She walked out her room and I followed her downstairs.
"I called a taxi. It should be here any minute" she said with a high-pitched tone to emphasize her excitement.
