Bad Man

Chapter One

Annora up top^^^^^

"Annora, table five please". I smile at the mother and her son as I walk away from their table and head to the kitchen. I see Nathan the cook busy away preparing dishes. Not wanting to bother him I grab the order and head to table five. " Here you go guys, enjoy your meal" I smile slightly at the elderly couple. " thank you dear" the sweet lady says, I nod my head and walk away. I see my grams counting the money at the register, I walk over and place my hands on her frail shoulders. "Why don't you sit down grams, I'll do this." I say.

" thank you dear, things should die down now. Only twenty minutes till closing. Hey why don't you get out of here early. I know you have been dying to go to the book store, and get that new book that's out, what's it called.... ah blood fingers is it?"  I smile at grams and let out a small chuckle. " blood wars you mean" I correct her, I see grams eyes narrow at me and I hold my hands up " alright I'm sorry, but I would love that. Will you be okay?" I ask, grams just pats my hand " I'll be fine dear, Nathan will be here to help. Now off with you, I don't want to see you until tomorrow you hear." I laugh and nod my head as I grab my bag from under the counter and head for the door.

" I'll see you tomorrow at eleven, grams" I shout as I exit the cafe. "And no earlier" gran calls back. I grin happily as I walk down the streets of New York. I pull out my phone and see it just hit six, I take a left and walk up to my favourite book store. "Annora, where have you been? I haven't seen you in ages." I laugh as Mary rushes around the counter and gives me a hug. " I saw you on Monday Mary it's only Saturday. But I missed you too girl" I hug he back. We pull back and head back to the counter.

I pull a straight face " now down to business, you have the package?" I ask, Mary looks around the store and slowly pulls out a package wrapped in brown paper from under the counter. " package received and delivered" Mary concludes as she slides the package over the counter. I take it and slowly put it in my bag where no one can see. I hand over the money to Mary " pleasure doing business with you as always Mary" I say with a big smile on my face. Mary nods her head and breaks into a giggle " alright girl get outta here, I'll text you later yeah?" I smile in thanks and nod my head as I once again head into the streets of New York.

I drop my bag and keys on my small kitchen counter and let out a sigh. Home sweet home. I lock my door behind me, knowing I won't be heading out tonight. I flip the kettle on to make myself a tea, and head for a quick shower.

With my tea and book in hand I sink down into the coach, my wet hair clinging to my neck but I'm to excited to care. I slowly unwrap the brown paper from the newest addition the blood series. I stroke my finger down the spine tenderly as if it was my child. " oh how momma has been waiting for you to come out my love" l coone. I take a long sip of my tea and flip open the book. It's gonna be a long night.

I jump from my position on the couch, the book slips form my hand and I focus on the retched sound of the father clock telling me it's midnight. "Oh god" I groan and I slip my hands through my hair. I slowly swing my legs over into a sitting position and stretch out my neck. I lean over and flip my lounge lamp on, the soft glowing making me squint my eyes. I pick the book for the ground and place it gently on the glass table. " shit, I can't believe I feel asleep" I mumble and get up, I flip the tv on to distract me. I head to the kitchen a put a microwave meal on and make myself another cup of tea. With my meal and drink in hand I head back the coach, cursing along the way as my food burns my finger tips.

"Fuck" I say as I slam my food on the glass table and blow on my fingers. I slump back down on the couch and turn the TV up, pulling my food towards me I did in. Half way through my meal, I see an old news update from earlier in the day....

"Hi and welcome to six news, New York. I'm Tracy Newell. Now in a breaking news update the Lerento mafia gang has been in a shoot out with police outside 'Little Italy'. After breaking out into a confrontation, things turned violent with Lerento gang members pulling out arms on local law authorities.  It is unknown if Nixon Lerento the gang leader was there. Two police officers where injured in the gun fight but are said to be in stable conditions. If you have seen or know of the whereabouts of Lerento and his members you are encouraged to call or visit your local police station...."

I stop chewing half way through when I saw pictures of the damage done to the restaurant 'Little Italy'. "Jesus Christ, that's not far from my place. Maybe five or so minutes" I mumble and I swallow my food whole when I see a picture or rather a mug shot of the so called Nixon Lerento. "Fuck me sideways in a church on Sunday" I shout as I stare at what can only be described as sex on legs. I shake my head as I turn the TV off, no bad Annora, he is a bad man, a killer, he won't think twice about killing you, I scold myself

"Why are all the good ones either assholes, gay or freaking mafia bosses" I complain as I get up from the couch, and head towards my room. 'just stick to Edward from Twilight and you will make it through the night" I mumble

I chuck my phone on my night stand and strip my clothes off, I jump in my bed and settle in, I look over at my digital clock and see its just past 1:30AM. I let out a sigh and close my eyes and fall into dream land almost instantly.
