The Street Fighter Meets The Gang Leader

Begin

-Blake's POV-

I watched from afar with my hands clenching my gun as my brother walked towards Dominic's house, ready to start our plan.

I was bothered. Really bothered. It was bad enough that Dominic and I have been on off terms because of this whole situation but it was worse that she and Jake had gotten closer as we drifted. She seemed to be more comfortable with him than she used to be and it really bothered me. Why?

I knew it was bad to think of my brother as someone who would hurt me. I knew that the trust he had from me was well deserved and he wouldn't do anything to tarnish that but...why?

Why were they meeting more frequently while we're in a situation so chaotic? Why was Jake acting distant towards us now? Why was he acting different and on guard whilst also acting as if he deeply cared? Acting as if it was our safety on the line?

Why did it have to be him who was chosen to be this piece in our plan?

-Flashback-

"We need someone to be inside with her while we're preparing outside. We can't have her getting away last minute." Nick looked around the room at each one of us, passing me before landing on my brother. "Jake, will you do it?"

"Absolutely." He replied quickly. He noticed my gaze and tensed but didn't turn to face me.

"Why not me?" I asked interrupting them from explaining Jake's role. Both Arthur and Jake looked to Nick for an answer as well, making Nick sigh and stare back at me.

"I need both my gunmen outside. Plus, Jake is a hand to hand, so he'll be able to stall her if push comes to shove. We're not going in to kill her remember, we're doing this for her protection. That and the fact that you and sis have argued over this matter way too many times, she probably won't feel at ease knowing you guys aren't on the same page." He then put a hand on Jake's shoulder, smiling at him before looking back at me again "Jake is good with people and he and Dominic are close friends so he's our best shot"

"But Nick-" I tried interjecting,

"NO."

I stood shook for a second. Nick's eyes had turned dark. It scared me how much he was able to change his demeanour in such a short amount of time.

"Jake will do this job, is that clear?"

-End of Flashback-

Goddamn it. I was starting to hate this. I couldn't believe we were putting up arms against the girl I loved and our leader's sister. It's not like Dominic wasn't logical. I'm sure if we just listened to each other more, talked to each other more, this could have been avoided. This was crazy and now starting to get stupid. But it was too late for change. I'd just have to accept that.

The door opened and Jake greeted Dominic with a hug which she had returned. It wasn't a long hug but it was long enough for me to wish I was the one receiving it.

"There's four of them inside. We know there's Jake Dominic and probably Xavier, but who could the other person be?" I heard from my earpiece, we all had one- "Also I don't hear anything from Jake's line" Jason continues which made me facepalm.

Zack seemed to realize the same thing I did too since I heard his laugh from over the line, "He probably forgot. We all know he never remembers to put this thing on," I sighed and shook my head before checking and loading my guns.

Regardless of anything now, everything will stat at five and all I could do was pray no one would get hurt.
