Chapter 28 Of American Gangster.

"Are you ready?" Ben asked me and I nodded.

-Last call for flight 202. Everyone, please make your way through the gates.-

"We need to go," Ben said.

"I'll see you in a week." I smiled at Roxie and she nodded excitedly.

"Enjoy all of the Spanish meat!" She whispered and I giggled humourlessly as we walked away and waved goodbye to each other. Once we had boarded the plane we sat down after placing our handbags in the safety cabinet. I looked out the window, ready to go up in the air already.

"I'm sorry for coming so late. I really am." Ben said and I looked at him. "I can't believe I missed all your life. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."

"It's fine." I breathed, looking back out the window. I could tell he wanted to start a conversation with me and get one flowing but he didn't know how to. Honestly, I felt like he was either scared of me or scared to talk to me. "How did you find me?"

"The news. I heard a Colt had killed themselves and had a funeral. I was surprised at first, I thought I was the last Colt left but I guess I wasn't." He looked at my neck and observed the scars that I had. "I then heard that they didn't commit suicide but some idiot tried killing them."

"Oh." I rubbed my neck awkwardly.

"So who was it?"

"You don't need to worry about that." I thought about this whole trip, why the hell did I come? He could have just been faking the whole Colt thing, I didn't check. Everyone wanted me to go.

"Penny for your thoughts?" He asked.

"How do I know you're not some guy trying to kidnap me? How do I know you're an actual Colt?" He took out a driving license from his pocket and showed me. I looked at it and then looked at him, he was definitely a Colt. He then took out multiple family pictures and I felt my heart skip a beat as I looked at them.

"You can keep these, I have copies at home and I'm sure you don't have any photos of your parents.."

"What are you to me?" I asked.

"An uncle." He smiled.

"Okay...Thanks." I put the photos in my bag.

"So..Where did you get all of the scars from if you don't mind me asking?"

"That night." I looked out the plane window. "They were asking me questions and they gave me scars because I didn't know where the safe was."

"It's in your room." He said and I looked at him.

"What?"

"You know how you always had a crack in one of your walls in your bedroom? It's behind that."

-The plane is ready for take-off-

"I-"

"Let's talk about it later okay?"

"Okay..." I huffed.

~~~~~

"We're here!" Ben yelled when we walked in the house. Immediately, a woman in a maid outfit ran over to us and she took all of my bags off me.

"Do you want me to take your jacket?" She asked and I shook my head.

"I'm fine thanks.." She nodded with a polite smile and walked away. "You have a maid?" I asked him.

"Yeah..." He coughed and another woman walked over to us. She had dirty blonde hair and the prettiest blue eyes I had ever seen in my life. She had naturally tanned skin and looked quite young. She was beautiful.

"Is this Braeden?" She asked Ben and he nodded, walking over to her and he wrapped his arm around her neck.

"Uhm.." She pushed his arm off and ran over to me, hugging me tightly.

"Oh you poor thing, you've been through so much." She sniffed and I looked at Ben extremely confused. "I'm so sorry about your parents-"

"Lilith," Ben warned.

"It's fine. I'm used to it, I get it everywhere." I shrugged and she smiled sweetly at me.

"Do you want a drink? Some food? Sleep?"

"I'm fine thanks." I smiled and she nodded.

"I'll be in the pool, call my name if you need anything." She walked off and I looked at Ben.

"I'm sorry, she's really-"

"Honestly Ben it's okay." I fetched my phone. "One second." I walked off and put my phone to my ear. "Boss."

"Call me Rocco." He chortled.

"Boss sounds cool."

"You get there alright? Felix is worried about you."

"Yeah, I'm fine. They have a maid, pool and everything. Their house is massive!"

"Our house is massive."

"We don't have a maid or a pool."

"That's true." He chuckled. "Anyway, remember to ring us every night so we know you're alright."

"Will do. See you, boss."

"Rocco!" He growled and I giggled, ending the call.

"Everything alright at home?" Ben asked and I nodded.

"Rocco was just checking up on me."

"They worry about you don't they?"

"After what happened...Yeah." I looked at the pool and my eyes widened. "This is sick!"

"Right?" He said behind me. "Why don't you go upstairs and get changed? We can have a relaxing day in the pool."

"Okay." I ran upstairs.
