LANDON

TWENTY-SEVEN

Landon

His eyebrow raises as I squirm around the seat. He then looks to his right and stared at Jaxon. Nothing is said, so the awkward silence is causing me to shift around in my seat. He then looks back at me but he looks at my neck.

"What. The. Hell." That's all the he said. And that's when I was just saying whatever my mouth spilled out.

I didn't even understand myself!

"-I think I even passed out but thats not the point the point is-"

"Landon! Shut up!" He yelled.

I looked back down to lap and played with my hands. My neck was still sore, and all I remember was waking up to Jaxon moving my shoulder while I was in bed with plastic wrap on my neck. He told me Boss called and wanted us there in less than five minutes. So we barely got our breaths back and I swiped away the sweat that was going down my temple.

"I don't even want to hear it. I called you both for some business I want you two to take care of." My eyes looked up towards him and he was pulling out a file and placing it on his desk. "I need you two to take this fella out. He owes me money and hasn't payed for two days. I'm a man that doesn't wait. I need him dead by today." He pushes the file open as he opens up and shows us who this guy is.

Me and Jaxon lean forward and look at the picture and it's some guy looking through a dinner window and eating a fri. He looked like a normal guy, not some usual guy that would be involved with gangs- well don't count me or Jaxon. But he looks like he was just doing just fine.

"Why does he owe money?" I asked as I leaned back against the chair.

"I helped him get out of trouble by others and the cops. He said he'll repay me somehow and I told him cash, that's it. And he said he'll find a way, he promised and still nothing. I gave him two extra days, and I'm guessing he thought I forgot but I never forget where my money goes. So leave."

When we left the room, went to the kitchen before we go on this "mission" and grabbed something to eat. I sat on the counter where this guy was but he left and looked at what Jaxon was grabbing out of the cabinets. "My neck feels so tight." I said as I wanted to touch it but Jaxon looked at me with a look which I was afraid he might do something.

"It's still healing, you should get one on your back." He smiled at me.

I raised an eyebrow and tilt my head, "you have one?"

He only nodded and went back and started to rummage through the cabinets again. "What is it?"

"A skull."

"How big?"

"My whole back."

"Did it hurt?"

"Somewhat, but it's just numbed after a while."

He tossed a bag of chips over his shoulder without looking but it somehow made it to me and I decided it was a good idea to eat. "But don't touch your tattoo, let it heal first, then you can touch it as much as you want." He turned around and leaned against the counter top and held another bad of chips in his hand and started to eat.

"Okay."

I didn't like how I had to hold a gun, I didn't like the idea of me even having it near me-but there's really nothing I can do. We walked into a diner but I had the gun tucked in the back of my pants in the waist band and had my shirt covering it.

It was a diner next to the alley that Steve was at-which I think today Jaxon wants to go.

We took a seat in a booth and looked around seeing if when can see this dude. Well- Jaxon was. I was looking at the menu. I was looking at the burgers but I was kicked on my shin and I hissed. "Look." He whispered to me.

I rubbed my shin as I heard the door open as the bell rung above. I didn't want to turn around and look at him since Jaxon didn't do it. He passed us and went to those single seats and sat with this other dude. They sat somewhat close to us, but Jaxon can't see them anymore since they're behind him not but I can see them perfectly.

They were talking to each other as they looked through the menu but I couldn't hear them, "how are we going to do this?" I said as I leaned towards Jaxon but still had my eyes on them.

"I was just going to say let's wait at the alley and see when they come out and shoot a far range so it can be a easier way to run." He said as he placed his menu down and leaned against the seat.

I nodded my head, "Alright, but I'm going to get fries to go."

*****

I sat on the street as we waited. Jaxon was leaning against the wall but I was sitting with my legs crossed and sharing my fries with a stray dog next to me.

"Get up, I see them finally getting ready to leave." I gave the rest of the fries to the dog I called Helmer, he really likes to scarf down the fries. So his tail was wagging a lot.

I grabbed my gun from my back and checked the bullets and clicked off the safety. "So who are you getting?" I said as I got near Jaxon and waited. I looked around seeing if anyone was walking towards us but no.

"Who ever gets out first." He said as he clicked his safety off and waited. I saw his jaw clench and see his finger tapping the side of the barrel quickly.

"Okay."

When the door open Jaxon was already aiming but I saw before I can even say the words. When the person walked out I couldn't stop him from firing his bullets, but once he noticed he stopped as those two guys ran away.

My eyes were wide and my mouth hung open as I dropped my arm to my side. Jaxon was turning white.

She held her stomach as she cried out in pain and agony.

Her round belly was starting to form two big red spots as she dropped to the floor and she cried out in pain, but not only from the bullets, but her baby sake.

Jaxon shot a pregnant woman.
