Loving Crime: Xiaojun

Pg. 29

He chuckled in a surprised matter. "Wha-What are you doing here?" He asked. "Don't act like you haven't been following me and harassing me." I told him. "Wait, Dad? This guy's your dad-" Kelly started before Hendery pulled the trigger on his gun and shot at the glass Kelly was in. She flinched back, falling to the floor. "You asshole!" She screamed. Hendery smirked as he blew the smoke away from his gun, turning his focus back towards us.

Thank God it was bulletproof.

"Ah. My babygirl. I've missed you so much, I remember you had an opportunity this great before, aaaand you turned it down. Which unfortunately led to someone getting sacrificed and someone getting replaced blah blah blah, you know the story.." He explained, shaking his head. "I can't wait until you die." I told him. He chuckled. "Ouch. That hurts. I'm still your dad you know. Even though your precious saint of a mother diagnosed you with medicines and brain washed you into believing you were a normal teenage girl, go figure." 

"You have us all locked in here! Accompanied by YOUR MEN! Her brain washing me, HELPED ME! But what are you doing?" I cried.

He sighed once more as he dropped his head. "I really wish you'd understand that I was only doing this for you." He said.

"BULL SHIT!" I screamed.

"Rachel, I didn't aim for any of this to happen. Okay? I just-I just sent one of my boys out to talk you into coming back, but unfortunately he wasn't good for the job, I mean look at you, you slept with him." He said, looking over at xiaojun who was watching everything. "What are you talking about?" I asked him. He chuckled. "One of my finest boys in the game, was suppose to bring you back. Xiaojun, I had him make sacrifices and changes, that he wasn't even use to, like falling in love, going to school, meeting friends, ya know, normal things. Then, he met you. He'd always tell me about you, and that's when I knew he was the one who could bring you to me. He was the one who could change you and bring out your dark side more. The dark side your mother washed away." He continued.

By now, tears were in my eyes as my heart felt full on betrayed. I looked over at Xiaojun who was looking the exact same way as he tried his best to look away from me. "You knew?" I asked him, ignoring my dad. Everyone looked over at him. "I...Yea." He admitted. I nodded as I shifted my head down in defeat. "You see? He doesn't really love you, he was just doing his job." He laughed. Hendery stood behind as he smirked. "Oh! I also have something else for you!" He said excitedly as he gave Hendery a head gesture. Hendery nodded as he pressed a button on the computer.

We all watched as two men brought in a boy, all bruised and beat up. They dragged him as they both stood on each side of him before dropping him to his knees. His mouth was covered with tape while his face was covered with blood and bruises. "Ah. This guy. See, he was originally suppose to do the job, but he let his ego and pride get in the way of that, isn't that right?" He said, pulling his hair up to reveal his face.

My heart dropped. "Derek." I cried. "FUCK!" I screamed, hitting the glass.

By now, we were all shocked...

"DAD NO! PLEASE STOP!" I panicked as he pointed his gun at Derek's head. "I'm sorry? Stop?" He asked, trying to comprehend, but he heard me. "You hear that Xiaojun, she doesn't care about you. She was playing you just as much as you were playing here, right Rachel?" He smirked. "That's not fair." I told him, shaking my head. "No, you wanna know what's not fair, having such a perfect mom and you forget all about your father." He laughed, pulling the trigger. The moment I saw the bullet go through Derek's head, my heart instantly stopped.

Everything stopped.

Derek's body fell to the floor as blood splattered everywhere, hitting his white suit. Hendery watched in satisfaction as we all stood there shocked. By now Xiaojun was up to.
