The Debt

Chapter 4: Wait what?

The gunshots had made lines of holes in the originally clean white walls. Unfortunately the black small holo circles didn't compliment the don's red blood splattered everywhere. I kept my eyes shut grabbing onto Jhons shirt out of pure fear. Eventually the shots stopped and the sounds of engines of retreating vehicles rang in my ear. I heard the gate break open and the sound of shots being fired again disappear in the distance, as what I guess was the rest of Jhons men swarmed into what was let of the office and took him and I into a car. I stayed and sat in the large backseat with Jhon, by this time I had separated myself from him.

But the faint smell of his cologne tickled my nose as I slowly got lost into my intrusive line of thoughts. I stared down at my cuffed hands for about a good 5 minutes before peeking a small glance at Jhon.

His arm rested over his eyes as he sighed each time the car swerved to a right or left. He seemed so calm, his father just died?- How the hell could he be this calm? Wait...

Oh no.... His father just died! The man who was to decide my fate! The bastard to give the final say..... was dead!?!? Wait what does this mean for me!

My head began to spin with different worries and concerns.

If Jhons dad was the boss....doesnt that make him..

My neck whipped back over to jhon and my eyes landed right on his face. This was now the man that held my life in his hands?.... The same man I yelled at, the same man I disrespected. He was now in charge if I would live or die?.....

Well,Goodbye cruel world!.....

I sulked in the comfortable leather chair of the luxurious car letting out a defeated and scared sigh. What was I doing here? All the information that I was briefly given was about some type of debt. That my dad had caused....but why? And what was my dads crazy plan to pay it back?

I felt Jhons familiar gaze on me as he leaned towards the two men in the front. They whispered to each other for a while, and jhon soon came back and sat up against the seat looking at me.

"Listen... we have a 4 hour drive ahead of us. I will take off the cuffs if you try anything they go right back on. Also please note that the car doors are locked, the windows are bullet proof and heavily tinted, and Carlos and Andrew are both armed with guns"

I looked at him with a reassuring look. I held out my hands and he swiftly took off the cuffs with a key.
"Oh sweet freedom!" I happily exclaimed and held both of my wrists in delight. Jhon rolled his eyes and let out a low chuckle stuffing the key back into his pocket.

He leaned back into the chair and crosses his arms. I could see his biceps slightly flex underneath his messy dress shirt I saw him eyeing me up and down again with a smile on his face.

"So little miss waitress, would you honor me with your birth name? Or do you like my amazing nickname?"
I rolled my eyes at his attempt at humor. Curling up to the leather and gave him a firm answer.
"My name is Raven shade, you are Jhon. Or my amazing nickname for you..... Asshole"

I dramatically made jazz hands at the end of my sentence to add the sarcastic humor I always carried. Jhon smiled even more at my sassy filled remark and looked at my face.

"Hmmm Raven....Odd....I thought you'd be a Jessica, or a katy"

He shrugged and layed his head on the chair bringing out the sharpness of his jawline. He kept his gaze on me and kept talking
"So do you know why you're here Raven?" His tone changed from his playful banter to that serious low voice. I felt like I was about to recieve a lecture.

"Actually I got some of it....I owe a debt to you. That supposively my father caused by asking you for a loan. But my father is..."

I held my breath and clenched for my locket. I sighed and spoke out slightly more gentle then before.

"My father is dead.. So now I'm responsible right?"

I gave Jhon a miniture smile and he nodded, his expression seemed to soften a bit so that was good right?
Jhon started to explain that my father had asked for a loan of 300,000 dollars. But the don really only knew the real reason and why my dad was easily trusted among the mafia family.

They mustve done businesses before...

I kept quite as he continued to further  explain how my father had given the don a plan to get there money back which we were about to go over before the estate was attacked. I kept listening to his low a gentle voice slowly leaning into the comfort of the leather chair. Jhon kept talking his voice bewcomong softer and softer I before I knew it I eventually fell into a deep sleep.
