Joven's pov

I pull up to the coffee shop and go in. I get my coffee and I found their booth. Darcy smiles "hey Joven I'm glad we could meet up. We've been so anxious waiting around for my dad to show up. This was a good distraction"

She hugged my neck and I sat with her and Mrs Elwood I nod "yeah its been weird for us to. David isn't even acting like himself"

They furrow their brows and give me concerned looks. I tell them "hes emotionless. and he isn't eating. He hasn't eaten in two days. Since newyears day. I'm worried"

Mrs Elwood told me "it might be depression. With everything that we have all been through. It makes sense"

I ask "well how do I snap him out of it. I want my lasercorn back"

I start to tear up again and have to quickly wipe my eyes. Mrs Elwood hands me a tissue "thank you. Im sorry I'm just so worried about him. I dont mean to do this in front of you guys I just don't know what to do"

Darcy reached over and held my hand. She is trying to keep me calmed down but I accidentally let a few more tears slip. Mrs Elwood told me "just breath joven"

I do as instructed and I am able to stop crying finally. I smile with gratitude at her and she smiles at me as well. We finish our coffees and Darcy suggested "maybe if I can come over to cheer him up then he will get back to his normal self"

I said "I hope so"

We all get up to leave. Mrs Elwood uses darcy's car to go home. Darcy will ride with me. We get out into the parking lot and all of a sudden we get crowded by a huge group of guys. A really muscular guy said "hey so lets talk. You too blondey"

Unfortunately their are way too many to pull my gun out up close to them like this. We do as they ask and they take us to an alleyway behind the building. My stomach feels a little anxious because last time I was in one of these it didn't exactly go well. We get back there and they put a little space between us and them. I whisper to Darcy "get behind me"

I pull out my gun and shoot it into the air as a warning shot. A few of them put their hands up in front of them. I ask "what do you clowns want"

The one speaking before began to talk "we only want to talk"

I yell "well talk. What the fuck do y'all want ?"

I noticed a couple of them had shark tattoos and another portion of the group had bears on their arms. Finally the muscle guy spoke up "well you put some of my guys in prison a while back ago. But they had gone rogue against my wishes. I wanted apologize for any problems my boys caused for you. I understand why you had to do what you did. The guy who was after you was trying to use us to cover up some pretty serious crimes. We understand that you killed him. That makes you a hero in our books. I just wanted to say that since you inadvertently helped us then we would have your back if you ever need us. But its only good for one Time. Then we never have contact with eachother again. Take this phone my name is shark in the contacts"

He handed me a flip phone. I glance behind me and Darcy looked just as confused as I was. The guy shark continued "one last thing. We wanted to let you know that originally mark the killer was hired by someone to specifically come for you that night in the alley. I don't know by who but he obviously failed at part of his job. I doubt you have anything to worry about anyone else coming after you. But if you get into some trouble just give us a call"

He signaled for him and his boys to leave and they followed suit. Darcy and I were left in the alleyway very confused on what the hell just happened....
