We arrived at Brooke's house and she was on the couch with a piece of paper in her hand and tears streaming down her face.
"Why did you leave the door open?" Jess asked her and she shrugged.
"No one to protect." She said dully.
"Yeah well how about yourself?" I asked exasperated. She just shrugged.
"Alright can I see the note?" I asked changing the subject. She handed me the note in her hand and I read it.
I have your brother. He'll be safe as long as you don't call the cops. Who you can call is that bitxh friend of yours, Rose Carter. Until I see her you won't be seeing your brother. I'm pretty sure she knows who I am.
I looked over at Jess to see that he read it also.
"Are you gonna meet them?" He asked.
"Yeah this guy means what he says. He killed my old friend's sister. He will not hesitate to kill your brother." With me saying that Brooke broke down crying.
"When are we leaving?" Jess asked and I narrowed my eyes.
"I'm leaving right now." I said walking off but he just followed me.
"I'm not letting you go by yourself." He stated and I turned and glared at him.
"You have to. You know nothing bout this man. He gets what he wants all the time no if, ands, or buts. He's dangerous and I don't want you involved." I said and he scoffed.
"What does he even want anyway?" He asked and I looked down.
"I can't tell you." I muttered.
"Why not?" He asked and I avoided his sight.
"Because..." I trailed off. If he knew the reason why this man wants me he would never let me go.
"Ro, why does this man want you so badly?" He demanded and I stayed quiet.
"Ro!" He yelled and a tear fell from my eyes.
"He wants to kill me!" I yelled. Jess was frozen with his eyes wide so I continued.
"His name is Brandon Morrales. He owns a gang that my gang was opposed to. One day when me and Chris fought I ran off into no where and got lost. One of his members found me and brought me to him. He told me that I should join his gang. I refused and told him no, that I don't do that stuff. Then he got mad out of nowhere. He said that if I didn't join he'd kill my family and that he knew I was apart of Chris' gang. I still refused and he beat the crap out if me but before he could kill me he had an emergency and had to go. I ran away and he's been looking for me ever since. He won't stop until I'm killed." I looked at Jess and he looked in thought.
"The Black Morrales Gang." He said and looked into my eyes.
"Yeah how'd you know?" I asked
"I was in that gang." My eyes widened and I searched his eyes.
"How'd you get out?" I asked. He smirked.
"I was the first in ten years to escape the gang unharmed just like you were the first in the Lost Bandit Gang to escape unharmed in twenty years." He said proudly. I looked at him shocked.
"How did you know I was the first?" I asked.
"Brandon used to always talk about the famous Rose Carter who escaped his enemy's gang. Said he wanted you in his gang and I was there that night he got you. I was just in another room handling business." He said and I raised my eyebrows.
"Impressive." I said and he wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed and slapped his chest lightly. Then I realized why we were here.
"I have to go." I said frowning.
"I'm still coming with you." He said and I sighed and nodded. He smiled and I rolled my eyes then walked off knowing he would catch up.
