Fights In The Shadows

Chapter 4

"What were you thinking!" Luca yelled at Oliver as Luca pinned him to the wall.

"You are gonna get us arrested!" Luca held him tighter.

"Let go!" Oliver yelled.

"You really do want to get in trouble don't you!" Luca said holding up his fist. Oliver took a few blows in the face and in his stomach. Luca put Oliver down knowing he was to weak to fight back.

"You have two weeks or your family's gone!" Luca threatened.

"And don't even think about telling your pretty little lady or I'll have deal with her too!" Luca said with his eyes glaring evilly at Oliver.

Mean while at my house I was in bed half asleep but I could hear an argument but couldn't make out who it was. After a while I fell asleep. When I woke up that morning I thought that I just had a crazy dream. I got dressed and went outside ready for work. When I saw Oliver at the corner on the street he was wearing his hat covering his face.

"Hi Oliver!" I said as I walked up to him.

"Hi" he said as turned his back on me.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked curiously.

"N-no there's nothing wrong!" He said sort of edgy

"....ok." I said kind of confused. He'd never acted like that before.

"I guess I'll see you later." I slowly started walking away. As I turned around and walked off Oliver looked at me just as I looked at him. He quickly looked back at the passing cars.

As I was walking to work I felt someone following me. I put my hand In my pocket reaching for my revolver when someone grabbed me! Who ever it was they had a tight grip on me and I couldn't get loose! The man dragged me into an alley than whispered in my ear

"Watch out or you might get in serious danger!" He said quickly than let go of me and ran down the alley and disappeared. I knew the London alleys weren't safe so I quickly ran out to the busy streets. The voice sounded like the one I heard last night! If only I could tell who it was! I thought to my self this case really is "mind boggling!" as detective john told me.

I met up with Luca who had the note

"They must have been wearing gloves or something and they wrote differently cause I can't match it." Luca said putting the note back in his pocket

"But what if I never see my watch again!" I said furiously

"I'll keep trying." He said trying to comfort me.

"Thank you Luca! It means a lot to me." I said " thank you for being here with me through this." I said smiling at him. He wasn't looking directly at me. Then he said

"You're welcome I'm glad that I can help you with this." He said with his deep voice.
