Her Bad Girl

HBG 18

~Omniscient

Karina and Dawns lives had changed drastically since the death of Nika and Rachel. Dawn had fell into a depression and started drinking every day all day. She didn't really care about much anymore. The guilt and hurt from losing Rachel the day of cheating on her was eating at her. She had been taking all her sick days at work and was considering quitting. She couldn't face Karina. She couldn't deal with working period.

Karina on the other hand was working on trying to live her life better for Nika. She knew Nika had wanted her to do better than what she had been doing. She had been promoted to manager at her job and was making $14 an hour. She strived to do better than what she had known to do before. She wanted to make Nika proud.

There was a knock at her door. "Who is it?" She called out.

"Pizza." Someone said. She went to open the door to see nobody there. There was a note on the ground. She picked it up and it read:

Meet me at Sharon Park Road. I have the answers to your questions. ~P

She had no idea what was going on. Did this have something to do with Nika's death? Was there someone out to get her now?

She decided to just find out the hard way, but of course she wasn't going without bringing weapons.

~Karina

I put my hand gun in my pocket. I know I'm not supposed to have it, but these streets tough even for a girl who ain't on em no more. I ain't got time to get jumped or no shit like that, so I got to do what I got to do to protect myself.

I made my way to the destination printed in the note. I saw Dawn standing with that one rich guy thats always on the news for his "good deeds".

"I'm glad you could join us." He smirked.

"Whats up dad?" Dawn asked.

"I'm not your future father in law anymore. You can drop it." He said tight lipped.

"Whats your problem?" Dawn asked.

"I know a lot of things. Things you don't know, and things you know but don't think I know." He said dryly.

"Like what?" A panicked look came across Dawn's face.

"You two were fucking behind my daughter's back." He smirked satisfied at both Dawn and I's surprised faces.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Well, because I tapped Dawn's phone. I cohld hear every conversatikn she had whether she was talking on the phone or not. I must admit Karina, your moans are nice." He said before laughing.

"Man what the fuck is wrong with you!?" Dawn said horrified and disgusted.

"He's a fucjing pervert thats what! I guess everyone connected to Raul is a weirdo." I said outloud not giving a fuck anymore.

"Huh?" Dawn said looking at me.

"Yeah. You didn't know? Him and your fiancee were working with Raul! Thats how they ended up in the shoot out." I told Dawn.

"You big mouth bitch!" He was about to lunge at me, but I pulled my gun out and he quickly stopped.

"What are you doing with a gun Karina? You know you on parole!" Dawn fussed.

"Shut the fuck up. Your father inlaw here had sonething to do with my friend's death! Therefore, I'm finna off his ass!" I yelled as the pain of my friend being gone came back.

"If you kill me, you're going to prison. Then you'll be doing life instead of a miesly five years. If you listen to me, you won't be on parole anymore." He said. "Both of your lives will be better." He looked at me and Dawn.

"What are you getting at?" Dawn asked.

"The police are looking into things. Now those recordings are with my people. I can give them the okay to send them off. If the police find out about you sleeping with Karina, you'll be fired and possibly put in jail. And Karina, those five years in prison will be in your future." He said smirking once again.

"And if you don't?" I asked.

"You each get $10,000 cash in hush money, and a free ticket out of this state. Also, I'll even pay for your housing for the first year. And Karina, I'll get you off parole. I just have to pay the judge out. She's that money hungry." He said confidently.

"Why should I believe you?" I asked.

"You have a gun. You could shoot me if you wanted, and those recordings would go out. You know they will." He spoke looking me directly in my eyes.

I lowered my gun slowly. Dawn stood silent taking everything in.

"What do you say Dawn?" He asked.

"Yeah Patrick. I'll do whatever you say. Just twll me one thing." She said.

"Yeah?"

"Did she hear those recordings?" Dawn asked.

"No. She died before she could hear them." He said.

Dawn sighed and looked relieved. With that, Patrick made a phone call calling off the sending of the recordings and told us we would hear back from him in a few days. He got into a car and left me standing there with Dawn.

"That was crazy. And hey give me that gun." Dawn snatched it from me. She looked at it. "Theres no bullets in this gun." She looked at me with a brow raised. I smiled.

"People usually fall in line once they see a gun. I never need to shoot." I said before turning to walk away.

"Wait." She said grabbing my arm.

"Whats up?" I asked.

"I can't stop thinking about you. I know I been distant but what happened with Rachel's death and all just took me for a loop and I-" i stopped her rambling.

"You needed time. I understand. Look, I'm not looking for you to fall for me or vice versa. I just want a fuck buddy. If you wanna be that, cool, you got my number. If not, oh well. We can continue living our lives accordingly. I gotta go now." I said before pulling away and going to my car.

I don't have time for any drama or unnecessary bullshit.
