Q U I N N

" What the hell am I supposed to get?!" I shout at Scarlet, desperately trying to find some sort of dress.

Most of them were either too revealing, too simple, or too extra. And to say I was freaking out was an understatement.

I don't want to look like a potato.

" Why not this blue one?" She asks.

I look at it for a couple of seconds. It's colour was exactly like..like Jonah's eyes, and it made me smile. The satin was overlapping each other and then the top was just plain and strapless.

Not too much. But not too less. That's good.

" I'll go try it on.." I say, still not able to take my eyes off it as I walk into the fitting room.

Yeah. I'm getting this one. The way the dress flowed was jaw-dropping.

" What do you think?" I ask Scarlet while giving a little twirl.
" Yeah, if you don't buy that then I'm not sure what you're looking for," She grins at me.

After we bought it, we went back to the house to get ready. Scarlet is actually very good at hair and makeup, and she let me borrow some matching heels. 

Since my hair is kind of short, shoulder length anyway, we just made the ends wavier and put a side parting. As for the makeup, I didn't want anything too much since the blue of the dress was bold enough, so Scarlet just used more natural colours.

" Wow, you look amazing!" Scarlet gushes, as she admires her handiwork as I do some poses while laughing.

" Go get your man!" She whispers before pushing me out of the door.
" What! He's not my-," I say before she shuts the door.

Ugh.

Trying not to trip over, I walk over to the entrance, where I'm welcomed to the sight of Jonah in a suit.

Help me.

I go to him, trying not to melt into a puddle. " You got your gun?" He asks while looking me up and down, his eyes flashing a series of emotions before returning to his usual cold look.
" Yeah," I reply, holding onto my purse.
" Then let's go," He says, opening the front door and letting me sit down in a massive limousine.

The journey was pretty quiet. It mainly consisted of looking at each other and turning away.

Once we got off, Jonah put his hand on my lower back.

Someone please help me.

We walk in together, and what I see is quite different to what I expected. I thought it would be very formal and stuff, but it was just large groups of people with drinks in fancy clothes talking everywhere. As for which group we were going to talk to, one caught my eye.

Shane.

His dark brown eyes locked with mine, and I feel my entire body shiver. And to think those brown eyes used to be my comfort...

" This is the group," He says, signalling towards where Shane is.
" Won't Shane see us and know who we are?" I say, trying not to ruin anything.
" Oh, Shane is the spy that told me everything," Jonah says, and I widen my eyes in shock.

" Jonah...I wouldn't trust Shane at all," I say, trying to convince him.
" You don't know him or how he works in the gang, all he ever did to you was bully you for money, and sure I don't like him, but I've known him for a couple years now and I trust him, all he's ever shown to me was loyalty," He says, taking my hand and walking over there.

If only you knew.

Seeing as there was nothing I could do, I follow him into the lion's den, praying nothing would happen. We stand close by, chatting quietly and listening to their conversation.

" We need to figure out their leader," Jonah whispers to me.
I look and realise Shane is gone.

Huh.

" When are we leaving for Italy boss?" One of them asks.

And the voice that we hear comes from a phone, but it sounds weird, as if someone has used a voice changer to make it different.

" They've used a voice changer to disguise his voice.." Jonah says, confirming my thoughts.
" So what are we going to do?"
" Instead of getting the boss, we'll get the info,"

From what we heard, they're going to Italy next Wednesday, and coming back the Wednesday after. Also, not much of their security will be around so it makes it easier for us. Basically just confirming what Shane told Jonah.

Once they finish I see Shane again.

Huh.

" Jonah...have you noticed that Shane disappeared and now he's back?" I ask.
" What are you suggesting?"
" Do you think he's behind all this?"
" I told you before, I trust him, he probably left because he wanted to get a drink or something,"

Probably. I should stop being so paranoid. " I'm gonna her a drink..." I say, but what I really wanted to do was talk to Shane.
" Sure, I'll be here," He says, looking outside.

I walk off and try and find Shane. " Hey Quinn, didn't expect you here.." I hear him say from behind me.
" Believe me, I didn't either..so you're a spy now?" I ask.
" Yeah, and how's Valentina doing?" He asks with spite.
" Fine without you," I shoot back.

" I know you're just with Jonah to get back at me," He grins maliciously.
" I'm not even with Jonah, so don't go inflating your ego, it's like a balloon, filled with nothing but air," I say, walking back to Jonah.

" You look a bit flustered, Kitten," Jonah says when he sees me.
" Yeah, just ran into some guy," I say.
" Where is this guy? I can give him a good lesson," Jonah practically growls.

" Yeah...no," I laugh.
" These galas or whatever they are are pretty stupid, we're gangs in the end, we're not all going to get along," Jonah says, holding my hand.
" That's true," I say, looking right in his eyes. The entire world disappeared.

And then it came back again. And true to Jonah's word, gangs don't get along, and when they don't, the bombs go off. Jonah grabs me and shields me before I feel him go limp.

Fun Fact: I actually have none except from the fact that the end was really rushed thanks to a certain someone who was being impatient.
