River Haven

Chapter 14

At Reigns' manor, William had just made Roman a sandwich in the kitchen.

"I don't know what to do.." Roman told William.

"Look.. I know he is your friend but a lot has changed since high school. People change." William told him.

"Maybe I should talk to him." Roman suggested.

"And tell him what? That you're sneaking around town in a mask trying to be some kind of vigilante?" William asked.

Roman thought it over for a moment before Becky suddenly walked into the room.

"Wow. I should have know it was you." Becky said as she walked in.

Roman and William watched as she walked right over and took a bite of Roman's sandwich.

"How uh.. How much of that did you hear?" Roman asked.

"I heard enough." Becky told him with a mouth full of food.

"And how did you even get in here?" William asked in confusion.

Becky smiled and sat down with them.

"So what is this.. You think you're superman or something?" Becky laughed.

Roman looked down in embarrassment.

"I'm just trying to look out for my city." Roman told her.

Becky rolled her eyes.

"You really think anyone in this city deserves that? I mean come on.. No one in this city is worth risking your life for. That's just stupid." Becky said as she took another bite of his sandwich.

"I'm not like you, okay? I actually care about something other than myself." Roman told her.

William watched the two's interaction awkwardly.

"I might be selfish but at least I know how to make it on my own. You walk around like you're some tough guy but in reality you got you're butler over here looking out for you. You're just another rich boy that can't handle himself." Becky smarted off.

Roman was a little take back by her honesty.

"Well why don't you show me then?" Roman asked.

William looked at him in confusion.

"Show you what?" Becky asked.

"You're right.." Roman thought out loud.

"She is?" William asked.

"We've been training for a year and the other night was my first time actually be out there and having to fight for myself. I need to get out there and learn the ways of the streets." Roman said.

Becky couldn't help but chuckle..

"Okay, tough guy.. You want me to teach you the ways of the streets?" Becky laughed.

"I do actually." Roman said, not understanding what was so funny.

"Fine.. What's in it for me?" Becky asked.

William shook his head as Becky.

"What do you mean?" Roman asked.

"I'm not going to help you if there's nothing in it for me.." Becky told him.

Roman thought to himself for a moment.

"Okay, I'll help you. We'll figure out what you can do for me in turn later. Thanks for the sandwich, old man." Becky said before getting up.
