In Love With Sin

Chapter 15

Nate and I packed up our things from the hotel and drove home. It was complete silence in the car and I was too afraid to even speak. Nate gently took my hand in his and glanced over to me.

"You know, you can be quite a firecracker sometimes." he said.

I sighed and buried my face in my hands. "I don't even know what I said Nate. I've never seen them so shocked and scared before in my life."

"Sweetheart, you said what you were feeling. Although it was pretty angry, you let it all out." he said. "I'm sorry you've been keeping all that anger in your entire life."

"Do I even want to know what I said to them?" I asked.

"Do you?" he asked me.

I hesitated and nodded.

"You said they were pathetic excuses for parents and you hope that God would forgive them at St. Peter's gate." he said.

My jaw dropped open. "Wow." was all I could say.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

Of course I felt bad for using religion against them. But they've done it to me my entire life. God gave me gifts so I was forced to use them, or thinking about yourself before others was a sin, or going out with the opposite sex was not something a Catholic girl should be doing. But now I realized what they truly were. They were stuck in a Stone Age and refused to evolve with the generations because they believed it would lead closer and closer to sin.

"I feel... clear." I said. "I never thought my father was ever capable of hitting me. But I accept now that there are people you just can't change because they can't see past themselves."

He kissed my hand and we drove home listening to the classic rock music and enjoyed each other's company.

We arrived at home to find Phil and Link sitting at the front porch.

"Do you know what time it is kids?" Phil said. "It is waaay passed curfew!"

"Hi guys! What are you doing here?" I asked give them cheek kisses.

"We've got a problem." Link said as we made our way inside. Ricky sat in the living room on his laptop.

"What's the problem Rick?" Nate asked, putting our luggage down.

"Harper's upped his surveillance." Ricky said.

"Meaning?" I asked.

"He's is very much actively looking for us." Ricky said. "I tried hacking their systems, but they seem to be scrambled so I'm working blind here."

"Well, it's not like they weren't actively looking for us in the first place." Nate said.

"Yeah well, so is Kowalski's men." Ricky said.

Silence fell in the room.

"How in the fuck?" Nate said.

"A certain incident at the sports store in the next city happened." Ricky said glaring at me.

"Shit." I said. "But how?"

"The little manager lady there along with her employee named Earl spilled the beans." Ricky said. "Both HB's and Kowalski's men have a target on us."

"Isn't that a fact." a dark voice said by the door.

My heart sank as I saw Kowalski standing by the door along with a lot of his body guards behind him.

"Oh little flower, you think you could get away from me like that so easily?" he said. He nodded to his guards. "Grab her."

"NO!" Nate said but got clocked in the face with the backside of a gun. The rest of the guards pointed their guns at us as two guards grabbed me and dragged me upstairs. I kicked and screamed all the way to our bedroom as they threw me on the bed and pointed their guns at me. A few minutes later Kowalski entered the room, followed by Phil, Link, Ricky, and Nate who were at gun point. The guards lined them up and began to tie their hands behind their back.
