Hearts on Fire | Jalex

18. Jack's POV

"What's the job this time?" I questioned quietly, internally groaning as I saw Allison start to walk over here, trying to act seductive. They grew quiet so I could deal with her.

"Hey Jack, who's your friends?" She asked sickeningly sweet, touching my arm. She frowned. "Why are you pushing me off babe?"

"Because I have a boyfriend. Hey, I think that guy over there has a thing for you. Kay, bye!" I rushed out, pushing her in that direction, my friends laughing.

"Anyways," Danny laughed, trying to form a sentence. "BK has a major deal going down tonight. He wants us back. He said he trusts us, and that we're the only ones who hasn't let us down. He said he'd supply us again, and he'll pay double what he used to. He just wants people he can trust."

"If you don't remember correctly, he left us on our own last time! What makes you think he won't screw our asses again?!" I told them.

"He got caught last time. He knows he needs us!" Andy stated in his deep voice. I sighed and brushed back my hair.

"Alright, alright. When do we meet up with him?" I asked, smiling as Jenna squealed happily that I was joining the crew again.

"Now. He said to come see him after we got you." Ben said. I nodded in approval, knowing Alex was in class. He couldn't know about this. Yeah, he robs for alcohol and stuff, but what I do is much worse.

"Lets go." We walked to the parking lot, all of us gathering in Danny's truck. I sat in the back with Andy, letting Danny, Ben, Jenna, and CC, sit in the front of the truck while Andy and I sat in the bed of it. Danny drove us to the familiar 18 million dollar mansion. The guards knew who we were, immediately letting us through the gate.

"Hey Bill." I told the butler as he opened the large front door for us.

"Well, I haven't seen you six in a long time!" Bill stated, letting us through the door. "Master is in the study." We nodded, walking through the corridors and pushing the door open.

"BK!" Jenna squealed, running and hugging him. They were about the same height. Sure, the 'B' stood for 'Big' but he was actually quite small. That didn't change the fact that he was one of the most dangerous men in LA.

"Hey there JenJen. Jack, it's good to see you again." He hugged me after he hugged her, then hugged the rest of us.

"So what's the plan, boss man?" Ben said with a laugh. BK chuckled, shaking his head.

"This is a big deal, lady and gents. Your cut will be about fifteen thousand each if this actually works. Though, this man is well known for taking what he wants and running off without paying. So I need you guys, standing guard for me while it goes down. I don't want to get screwed again, and I'm sorry about the last time, okay?" BK said. We nodded in understanding.

"How much you selling?" CC asked. We liked to know everything about the deal going down.

"A lot. This is big one, people. Jack and CC, you're chasers. If they run, you chase them down and get our money. The rest of you, you're sticking with me." BK said. We nodded and he opened the secret door behind a bookshelf leading us to the armory. We changed into our black clothing and bulletproof vests, grabbing our preferred weapons.

"I'm so happy to be back in action!" Jenna squeaked. BK laughed, pulling her close to himself once again. We all knew he had a thing for her, except Jenna. Of course, Jenna always had a soft spot for BK, so she happily snuggled herself up to him, letting his arm wrap around her lower back.

"Be safe, okay?" He whispered to her. She nodded against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tight. They always had moments like this before every deal. It was cute actually. I saw Ben and Danny hugging tightly, being the cutest damn couple I've ever seen. Andy, CC, and I shared a group hug before we all formed one giant hug. We were like family.

"I'm so ready for this!" CC shouted excitedly as we rode in the armored car disguised as a hummer. Bulletproof windows, reinforced titanium exterior, it was durable to anything. I smiled as I saw Danny take one hand off the steering wheel, reaching over and holding Ben's hand tightly. I looked the other way and saw Jenna cuddled up to BK's side, her eyes closed. BK had the biggest smile on his face. At deals, she was like his main body guard, simple disguised as arm candy, like a trophy wife. It was times like this that I wished I had Alex to hold onto. What we did was very dangerous, and we all went in knowing there was a chance of death. But we all enjoyed it.

We enjoyed the suspense, the danger, even the killing traitors. I hate saying it, but I have killed, only the people at deals that tried killing us, but it's still killing.

That's why I don't want Alex to know about any of this. I don't want him to know I've killed, I don't want him to know about the dangerous missions.

I don't want him to know I'm one of the main six body guards of one of the largest mafia men in town, BK. nobody knows his real name but us. Not even the Feds.

BK is wanted by all police and FBI, and any other national security you can think of. But the seven of us do our job so well, they never have enough evidence to convict us if any of us get caught.

"You ready for this?" BK asked as we all loaded our guns, carefully stepping out of the car. Jenna stayed latched to his arm. Sure she was small, but she could seriously kick ass. So BK kept her around like arm candy, but as a secret weapon to any danger that got close to him. Though the rest of us guys know that he just wants to keep her close and safe.

We went into normal routine, CC and I hiding in the background, waiting for anyone who runs. BK had to crotch-rocket motorcycles hidden here for CC and I, if we needed to quickly chase down anyone. The others met in the middle, facing the other dealers as they arrived. BK and the other mafia man talked, all guards in protective stance, Jenna holding onto BK and smiling sweetly. Then it happened.

A shot fired, sending us into action.
