"I'll just be gone just for a few minutes" I said while I got the keys and my jacket. I went over to her while she was seated down on the couch.

"Okay, but hurry. I can't stay down here on the couch all day" she replied back.

"How about I'll bring home something for dinner" I said to make it up to her if I get home late. She smiled and soon she was okay for me to go. I went over to kiss her on the cheek and left the house. Locking the door just to make sure no one barges in and that she doesn't have to struggle herself to stand and answer the door to any stranger.

I went over to my car and started the engine. I then began driving. I exited the village and went through the city. I drove and drove, but didn't know where I was going. I soon got a text message from an unknown number saying that I should meet them at a local bar with this address. Of course since it was in the city, it was a bit traffic going there. I looked from left to right on the bar that I was supposed to go to. Luckily I found it it at the corner of the street.

I parked my car near the place and locked the doors after getting off the vehicle. I was standing in front of a small bar with a very large and bright neon sign. I went in and just like any other bar, there were lots and lots of people inside. Drinking, talking, making out and probably ending up in each other's bed. I didn't know what to do so I went and got myself a drink from the counter. The bartender got my order and waited. Then I received a text message to ask anyone from the bar a certain name.

When the bartender served my drink, I started to ask him. "Hey, buddy! Do you know where I could find George?" he didn't reply, but pointed me to my left as I saw a door and headed straight over there. I nodded and drank my drink immediately. I then made my way over to the farthest end of the bar, but as soon as I reached the door, I was blocked by a big tall guy.

I showed him the unknown text message I received and he stepped aside and opened the door. He led me in and he followed after. He walked in front of me, leading the way. We went down a quiet hallway, but you could still hear the music booming from outside. We then came across another room. He opened the door and I saw a group of people playing poker. Just four guys playing.

"Hey boss, this guy's looking for you" then this guy stood up and turned around to face me. I then knew who it was.

"Well hello Harold. It's nice seeing you again." he smiled while walking towards me. He opened his arms wide, it's as if he wants me to hug him. "Oh come on. You don't expect me not to ask for hug after not seeing you in so many years" he raised his eyebrow at me.

"Actually it was just 5 years ago" I corrected him.

"Who cares? Give you're old brother a hug" he went in and really gave me one and I stopped him before the hug lasted for 1-minute. I pushed him away and heard him chuckle.

"Correction: stepbrother" I told him.

"Tsk tsk, we still are technically brothers, even if you put a specific label on me" he said and continued.

"Is this really why you wanted to meet up? A family reunion?" I wanted to get on with whatever he wanted after he called me.

"Not exactly" he told his guys to stop with the card playing and got a chair and sat me down in front of them. "I actually wanted to remind you of our little agreement"

"Look, I told you-" he cut me off.

"You told me many times and you keep on postponing the due date" he then received two glasses of drinks in his hands and gave one to me. I looked inside and smelled it--it was scotch. I let out a disgusted look and looked back at him. "I really want to know if you are still cashing in on the money that I needed before"

"I'm still working on it. It's almost there. I promise" I assured him as I started getting nervous. He started taking a few drinks.

"Aren't we all sick and tired of you saying the same thing and keep delaying my orders" was all he said, a bit calmly though. He sipped once more in his drink. He then sat down in front of me. His face was a bit relaxed after taking the drink, but soon went to a disappointing look. "I've been watching you and I think you may have been getting distracted lately" I put the glass down as I didn't take one sip from it.

"I've been completely focused about your orders from the very start and I am certain enough that I am not focusing on other things" I reassured him, but still became nervous because I don't know what he plans on doing next.

"Oh no no. That's not what I heard" he said as his guys gave him a folder and noticed it was all pictures. "I hired someone to spy on you and guess what? You've been busy lately......with a girl I assume" he then showed pictures of Alain's through the windows from her room and pictures of her leaving the house for school.

He then continued talking "Hmm seems to me that this girl is something more than a distraction to you" he then showed a much clearer picture of her that I assume he got it online.

"She's just someone I'm babysitting with" I corrected him. He shook his head for disagreement.

"What I think is that you're not taking this job seriously as I thought" he said with a very stern voice. I looked at him and he became serious. I felt his guys were holding my arms to keep me still. He walked closer to me.

"Listen, I want the money you've been earning by next month. If I don't get it by then, say goodbye to your precious girl" felt the anger inside me boiling. I got nervous and mad of what he was going to do to her.

"DON'T F*CKING TOUCH HER!" I yelled at him. I wanted to beat him up, but his guys were holding me back.

"She's beautiful don't you think? It's a shame that she's not as special as your job" he analyzed the pic of her. He smirked and I think he's planning inside his head on what to do with her. "I think she and I will go great together"

"I SAID DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HER OR I'LL SWEAR TO GOD I'LL BEAT THE SH*T OUT OUT OF YOU" I tried threatening him. Seeing him doing something bad to her comes up in mind or something even worse than that. Maybe forcing her to do something she doesn't want to. I am not going to let that happen. He replied with only a chuckle of laughter.

"I need the money by next month or else" he said as he turned around and continued with his game. His guys let me go and I was escorted out of the room and out of the bar. I went to my car and drove off.

I couldn't think straight while driving. I drove and drove faster just to get to her. The image of him and doing something with her kept replaying in my mind and I wasn't sure if she was safe in that house.

I won't let anyone do something to her. No one at all.
