Amara had ran out, chucked her shit into the car they came in and drove off for the city. Emotions clouding her brain as she drove half paying attention to the road. Till was a nice guy and it was clear he had feelings for her, but with her being a walking time bomb she didn't want to crush the poor dude's heart when she dropped dead. Letting out a growl of frustration, Amara floored it and raced into the city in hopes to find answers with her family.

Her family was a whole other story. They weren't exactly her family by blood but family don't end with blood. Geoff and Jack were her parents as well as the boss and right hand woman of the gang. Then came Michael, Gavin, and Jeremy. They were her brothers in and out of the gang, Geoff and Jack practically raised Gavin. Then there was Ryan, the cool uncle, but also the main cause of death for their enemies and civilians. Of course no one knows this because they had all left their gang life behind and moved to Germany to start anew. Using the money they had made as a crew, they purchased and ran successfully several businesses that only added to their wealth. Heading into the heart of the city, Amara pulled into the garage of one of the luxury buildings. Pulling her stuff along she pressed for the penthouse in the elevator. A minute ride later she was tackled by three men as soon as she got off the lift. Hugging her brothers back they pestered her with questions of her travels, to which she answered calmly. Someone cleared their throat which got all the boys to quiet down. From the kitchen a very grumpy looking Geoff stepped out, arms crossed and mustache raised.

"Hi dad

"Hi dad." Signed Amara.
"Don't hi me! Do you know how fucking worried I was! You traveling all over when you could die and let's not get started on why you were hanging out with guys!" Shouted her dad who's voice kept going up a pitch as he went.
Jack came in and placed a hand on Geoff's shoulder to calm him down before speaking.
"Amara it's been a while. How was your travels?" Asked Jack calmly.
"Thanks mom. It was fun. I got to see so many places and meet so many people. But none of the doctors I've met could help me. That's another reason why I'm back home. So I can spend what time I have left with you guys."
"Don't you fucking say that! You'll live a long life!" Shouted Michael.
"Mikey I have a piece of bone sitting on my nerves. No one knows when it'll move and put more pressure on my nerves and cut out my breathing. The doctors already said it's a miracle that only my voice was affected and I have no troubles elsewhere."
"But you lived through everything else from our old lives." Said Jeremy.
"Yes but luck will run out sometime. For now let's enjoy while I still can."
They all nodded but they were all at the verge of tears and even Gavin, the most talkative, was quiet.
"Speaking of which where's uncle RyRy?"
"He had to go check on something at the factory. He should be back soon." Said Jack.
"Now what about these "guys" you were hanging out with?" Questioned Geoff.
"Uh nothing! Gotta clean my shit. By dad." Signed Amara quickly before dashing off.
Geoff narrowed his eyes in suspicion while the boys laughed. Pulling out his phone to call Ryan, Jack stopped him with a shake of her head.
"Why not?" Whined Geoff.
"A girl gotta have some secrets. If you keep poking into something she doesn't want you knowing she'll get upset." Said Jack.
"But she said guys as in multiple dudes!" Said Geoff.
"They could be friends or acquaintances. She'll tell us when she's ready." Said Jack.
With a grumble Geoff put his phone away and joined the lads in the game.
