Josephine tried to steady her breathing as her hands gripped the forearm wrapped around her neck. Focusing on her breathing was the only thing distracting herself from the fact that there was a shotgun barrel pointed right at her back.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Seth asked the man which wasn't helping settle Josephine's nerves.
"Now, it all makes sense," The larger man said to Seth.
"Oh, good," Seth said sarcastically to the man.
"Couple of days ago, this blonde whore, here, and a dude come in, tell us their names are Richie Sanz and Josephine Reed, says that Eddie Cruickshank vouches for them. They're big players in flesh trade. They wanna make a deal with the Browns."
"The Browns, huh?" Seth glanced over at Josephine, then, back at the man as he continued to talk. Josephine knew that if the two of them did make it out of here alive, she'd have a shit ton of explaining to do.
"Now that I see you, it all makes sense," The man says, "He ain't no Richie Sanz and this chick here confirmed that with me outside. He's Richie Gecko and your the other one."
"You don't need to go to school to figure that out," Josephine comments, receiving a glare from the large man.
"That's one and only to you, asshole." Seth says harshly.
"She," The man nods to the blonde, "and your brother took something from me. Now, I'm going to take something from you." The man stepped towards Sonja. Thinking he was going to do something much worse, Josephine wasn't really frightened for Sonja's life - if it was Seth's life in danger, however, things would be different.
"Wait a second," Seth spoke up taking a small step in front of Sonja, "She shouldn't have to die because of my brother."
"Maybe I got something else planned for her," He said to Seth.
"Wait so you're gonna kill me because of this assholes brother?" She asked referring to Seth, "You're going to kill me when the girl who was helping this asshole's brother is right here?"
Josephine narrowed her eyes at the other girl in the room. Did Sonja really just throw her under the bus?
"Okay, sweetheart, men are talking. Now, is not the time," Seth said. For whatever reason, Josephine was hurt that Seth called Sonja sweetheart when over the past months of being with the man, Josephine had considered that her second name around him.
"Men are talking? Shut up? Don't talk to me like that." Sonja snapped at Seth.
"Talk to you like what? You just called me an asshole." Seth argued with her.
"Because you're an asshole." Sonja said coldly.
The two began arguing only angering the two men. "Shut up or I'll shoot blondie, here, in the face!" The large one yelled pointing the shotgun right at Josephines head.
