Killer-X -shadows of dark-

Chapter 1- 1 year in

      I walked home from school down my usual path filling in the silence with music from my earbuds, mel hadn't come to school today and which left me stranded by myself walking down an empty road cars passing by every ten to fifth-teen minutes. Ironically the song I was listening to was in fact boulevard of broken dreams by Green Day, I took a minute to think back everything that's happen this year and changed from last year. Last year ..well it was a crazy year with my dad and all I was already in 8th grade this year my shoulder healed but the scar was a constant reminder of the dreadful months I spent during the summer masking pain and getting checked daily by kat. I got my bro back in fact we never been closer after I told him, what can I say Killer-x was well known around the streets he was known as the man who took down Ben Marco one of the most biggest drug dealers and murders in maple at least. All the trails up against him reopening cases he got more hell then I would of expected, two life sentences without parole in a maximum prison I made the right decision not blowing his head of his shoulders. As for the police ..well some still were against me and some would let killer x escape. He was known through maple whether it was something dangerous or something to keep around, I didn't care either way it didn't matter to me as long as these punks had something to fear in now it was enough to keep me going.

But as I turned up the small hill to my house I glanced at Mel's house. I gave off a faint smile I wondered what he was doing. He'd better be ready for the plan I rolled my eyes and walked upwards to my house, entering through the door I can tell my mom was already making dinner in a rush. She dashed across the kitchen the house was spotless as Jason my stepdad rushed in fixing his tie.

"Wow I haven't seen you this fancy since you found out mom was taking the family out to the buffet at joes grilled goods.." I shook my head in disbelief folding my arms

"I need to dress nice you remember my boss mr maze?" Jason choked up a little loosening his tied then readjusting it.

"Yeah ..isn't he like the dude you keep trying to impress?"

"Exactly! He's coming for dinner and he's interested in buying the accounting funds from my bosses company."

"Oh yeah I completely forgot So is that why you look like pee wee Herman ?" I smirked slightly

"Haha! Yeah very funny you take a shower and dress nice I want to make the best impression."

"I'm not wearing a choke collar like that though." I laughed and patted his shoulder gently as I went to my room and picked out a clean shirt and jeans, I took the hoodie off and the rest of my clothes to start my nice refreshing shower. After doing so I got ready and soon after it was time for dinner I set the table with my mom while Jason tried figuring out what socks to wear.

"Does it matter I mean who looks at socks." I stared at my mom

"Oh let him be he's nervous he's been trying to close this deal for two months now." She laughed hysterically

I smiled widely "well someone should really tell him that his shirt is inside out.." I held in my laughter watching my moms face change into a concerned stare, "you're lying..." she uttered

"That's not a lie you can see the tag in the back I just didn't say anything cause I wanted to see your face"

My mother rushed out the kitchen after Jason and I sat there laughing uncontrollably.  Soon after the table was set and dinner was already prepared I heard a soft knock on the door. Walking towards it I opened it carefully and slow a man stood in front of me he only had to be a couple inches taller then me a groomed beard and a grey pressed but silk like suite, his hair combed carefully to the left and his hair almost wiry plus he wasn't as built as I expected him to be.

"You must be Giovanni?" He spoke his voice dry and deep

"Um yes but my names pronounced Jovonni with a J.." I smiled lightly

"Ah I see that translates to warrior if I'm correct.." he chuckled lightly

I shook his hand "I guess I live up to my name hi mr maze it's very nice to meet you sir." I smiled

"Actually in Hebrew it's god is gracious it's why I mainly picked it." My mom stumbled in fixing her earrings. Jason followed behind her greeting him in, as we sat and ate dinner Jason and maze talked about boring crap that my mind honestly couldn't comprehend. They talked and talked what felt like hours Jason could talk for hours one of his uh gifts  to bad he went all out for nothing tonight I wanted maze to enjoy what could be his last meal. See once Jason told me a couple days ago he was coming over I knew this would be the best time to get to know  him what else is there to know about Jackson Jeremy maze, maples business man by day..and a well known human trafficker by night. That's right hundreds of women forced into slavery whether it meant for working purposes or sexually disturbing reasons. And tonight was going to be his last deal I politely asked to be excused for feeling sick when my mom and Jason said I could I rushed to my room calling mel and kat.

"Hey is the tracker on?" I asked peeking out my window To see mel placing it on the back of mazes car , he looked up at me and stuck up his thumb "got the son of a bitch!" I smirked lightly. "And the tracker is up and running pretty soon you guys will have a hot and ready maze served on a silver platter!" Kat responded

"Ok we need to work on her lines bro.." mel answered

"Shut up!" Kat shouted

I laughed "alright mel Head back now but meet me back here by 11 no later, he nodded and ran off I hung up quickly and hid my duffle bag under the bed tonight we were going to put another big criminal away but I needed true dirt on maze killer-X was going to have to get to know him better then just Jovonni ...
