7. Worth Something

I am not dead I promise. I've been busy and it seems like my only free-time to actually write is during weekends or when there's public holidays being held here.

HERE YOU GO, YA FILTHY ANIMALS. <3 x

Edward was left behind Liam confused and utterly taken back from his best-friend's sudden outburst. He had never witness Liam snap at him without exactly knowing the reason why.

"Boss, what about the woman -- the redhead?" One of Edward's men held onto his shoulder. Edward's mind flashbacked to the face of the lady that had tears rolled down her cheeks. "She is none of our business." Edward replied to him before running quicker to catch up to Liam.

He followed Liam from behind as they keep turning random corners to the point where he questions whether Liam knows where he is heading to or not. They met a couple of enemies along the run but they managed to kill them (Liam helped with his rage attack). Yet again - to Edward's surprise - he had never seen Liam express such brutal combat skill.

It was like seeing a lion that was left inside a cellar with no food and water for several days, and today it is finally freed to the wild and prey on predators.

Edward was growing impatient, they just kept on walking to the point where they were going almost nowhere. This made Edward worried, if they kept this up, they won't be able to escape anytime soon.

"Liam, do you even know where the hell you're goin-" Edward was cut short when someone bumped into Liam, causing the both of them to fall to the floor clumsily. Edward stopped in his tracks, examining the person that had stopped their form of escape. "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" It was the same red-head that they've encountered in the control room. Her blue eyes pleaded, light reflecting from it as she tear up.

Liam swiftly got back on his feet, helping the lady up and without warning he picked the lady over his shoulders; continuing his run. Edward furrowed his brows in confusion and his lips slightly parted at the action that Liam did. He felt angered by Liam's doing -- Why did Liam do that?

The red-head wasn't moving, she was just as shock as Edward. Her body felt paralyze -- she wasn't one to let a stranger have her stomach laid over their shoulders and have them carry her to god knows where. If it was outside of this building; she won't be regretful about the whole thing.

FLASHBACK

The sun blared nicely -- it wasn't too hot and the breeze was soothing against Edward's skin. With both his arms folded beneath his head as he laid on the ground of the front lawn. He closed his eyes and has he never felt so relax in this past week of intense school-work. He had finished everything that needed to be done, and now it was just that time to relax; to just enjoy.

With his eyes closed and his body thoroughly positioned nicely, the birds annoyingly chirping (yet it felt relaxing in a way) and everything was going great. Just then he felt a shadow hover over his face, blocking his face from soothing sun. His brows furrowed as he slowly opened his eyes one at a time.

He was met by a head hovering over his and just by the outline of the person's hair, he knew who it was already. "Hey Edward!" The boy cheered gleefully. Edward sat up from his seat and rubbed his eyes gently. "You've done your English homework?!" the boy chirped once again.

Edward lets out an amusing chuckle before nodding his head, "yeah I have."

The boy grinned and jumped up on his two feet, Edward has now seen the football ball leaned against the boy's hip and his arm supporting half of its weight. "You promised we'd play footie after you've done your English homework, you didn't forget right?" The boy frowned slightly at the thought of Edward forgetting his promise.

"Of course not, I'll never forget a promise. Come on," Edward said getting up and standing straight up in front of the boy. He walks over to the fence and bended his knees in a position of a goal-keeper. "Ready when you are!" Edward called, the boy dropping the ball on the floor and positioned it. The boy took a couple steps back for a running start, "here I come Eddy!" He exclaimed before running and kicking the ball with all the strength the boy had.

The ball flew high in the air, it was too high that it went over Edward and the fence as well. The boy flung his hands and clamping it over his mouth in shock. Edward stared at the fence, just waiting and hoping that the ball will fly back to them but he knows it won't happen. "I DIDN'T MEAN IT!" The boy wailed, tears starting to form in his eyes. Edward turned his head to the boy, quickly making his way over. "No no, it's not your fault. It's alright!" He tried to comfort the boy.

Just then something hard smacked against the back of Edward's head and the boy that was wailing a few seconds ago was now engulfing into fits of laughter. Edward dropped to his knees from the impact, his hand covering the aching spot where the ball had hit against. "Oh my gosh, I am so so sorry!" A girl's voice cried and Edward turned his head. He watched the little girl that looked around her age, peering her head over the fence.

"You did a nice kick," Edward said, turning to the boy that was grinning back at him.

END OF FLASHBACK

"You did a nice kick," Liam gritted. Edward looked up and to see the red-head now kicking her arms and legs around. Liam grabbed his left jaw, rubbing it gently. "Let me go you shithead!" The red-head screamed. Edward hadn't notice that they had already escaped the building and was now running to their vehicles. "Look here ginger, be god-damned thankful we didn't kill you." Liam reasoned, running to the black range rover and pulling the backdoor open. He then pushed the girl in the vehicle and shut the door, the girl screamed and banged her fist against the window.

Liam pressed the button found on the car keys, seconds later the ruckus that the girl was making stopped. He looked back at Edward, and it was time to reason with the guy. "Payne you better give me a damn well reason why you brought her along with us?!" Edward shouted aggressively. Liam didn't say anything but walk towards the front of the car and gets in the driver's seat. Edward glared before rushing to the passenger seat, "I asked you a fucking question!"

"If we want to know where Jedd is, she may be our one-way ticket to getting that shit-of-a-formula!" Liam snarled back, "she may know more than we do!" Edward looked away from him and onto the road, he clenched his jaw. Liam getting mad was never a good sign, Edward knew better than to just push Liam further to his breaking point.

The car pulled to a stop moments after driving and Liam swiftly pushed the door open, making his way to the back and opening it. Edward followed and he spot the red-head laying barely conscious. "I'm sure you'd know what to do with her next boss." Liam stated before shoving the car-keys at Edward.

Liam turns around and starts walking away, which was nothing new to Edward. Edward turned away from the infuriated Liam and to the red-head, "you better be worth something if Liam took you with us."
