"I just called Tony, his guys have a lot going on at the moment, something about a heist so he won't be able to help us out. Which leaves us with just one guy."Dave gave me look suggesting something he knew I would not like.
"Forget it" I told him.
"I am Not doing it"
"Come on Jake you have to do this. Just think of who you are doing it for. you're doing this for the woman you love" he tried convincing me.
I was not doing it."I was not going back to the one thing I worked so hard to keep away from, I was not taking that path again.

" No Dave no. Just No!" Think of someone else, something else anything Just not what you are suggesting" My mind was made up and I was not intending on changing it.
"Owkey then come up with something better if you can, come up with something better or just make the call,"he said handing his phone over to me, " it won't kill you Jake. If anything the only person who will end up dead is that girl you love. The Painful part of it is, you will have had the chance to save her but didn't use it."

I took a deep breath in, hesitantly took the phone I dialled the number which was still very fresh in my mind. It rang and within seconds it was picked.
"I knew you wouldn't stay away forever," the voice said in a very sure tone(this was a mistake)

"We need to talk." I responded in a very deadly manner.
" No hey, hi, how you been? you good? Still alive? Don't worry um still very much alive despite you turning your back on me S.....
" Are you gonna listen to what I want or are you just going to whine about the past?"
he was getting on my nerves and I couldn't deal.
"What do you want Jake?" He asked seriously.
"Seven O'Clock your place." I told him and immediately the call was cut.

"Ahhh I don't like this one bit Dave." I mumbled running my fingers in frustration through my hair.

"Its not like we have a Choice bro just control your temper, don't let him get to you and we will be fine."
"I know I just hate to hear what he is going to want in return for helping me out."
"We will cross that bridge when we get to it, for now focus on the goal." Dave said handing me a glass of whisky which I desperately needed. I needed to calm down and relax if I was going to rationally deal with that man.
"This is for you Nellisa" I raised my glass and Dave brought his clinging the glasses. He gulped down his drink and walked out .

"I will fight Nelly, for you I will. Even if it means going against hing I believe in. I will do it, For you I will break every rule in the book. I just wish you knew how much you meant to me." I drank then placed the glass down.

Dave came back with two FN5.7pistols in his hands, he handed one to me and put the other one at the back on his waist.

"You really think this is necessary?" I asked inserting the fully loaded magazine into the pistol then placed it on the side of my waist.

"If it wasn't, you wouldn't have put it there already, plus you never know with guys like that.
we better get going if we going to make it there in time, I'll go get the car."looking ready for action in his crisp black tux Dave walked out.
" Alright bro I'll be there in ten."

I don't know why I stayed behind and did what I did, but my conscience wanted me to.I did it without giving any second thought, I took my phone and dialled Nellisa's number.
It rang, with every ring my heart skipped a beat.
"Mr Heandrason," she answered and there was a long silence "Mr Heandrason? are you there?"
"Miss Lawrence?"
"Yes"
I couldn't get a word out,so I dropped the call. I was just happy to have heard her voice, although I am her least favourite person at the moment and she was clearly indicating it. It was still good to hear her sweet innocent voice.

I heard the car hoot downstairs and rushed out.

"Man what took you so long, were you in the toilet or something?"
"Hahaha Funny, I had to make a call."
"Let me guess, The girl?" I did not answer him and he got the message.
