Running with Revenge

𝓬𝓲𝓷𝓺

"Ladies don't start fights,

But they can finish them."

Lace gets up at 6:00 and walks to the bathroom to get changed. She pulls on shorts and a random band tee, quickly swiping on mascara and her flats. Lace runs out the door with a backpack in hand, letting the Burgess air warm her up. She climbs onto the bus and slides in next to Jonah who as usual, gives her a forehead kiss and puts his arms around her shoulders,

"How did it go?" Lace turns toward him with a gleeful smile as her arms spring up,

"It went great. He totally fell for it!" Her smile quickly turns into a thinking face.

"Do you keep tags on your members?" She signs, her smile appearing when Jonah nods yes. She pulls out a piece of scrap paper and writes down the names of Val's lackeys and hands it to Jonah. His eyebrows crinkle together, what was this? Lace sees this and starts to quickly sign,

"Those are the people who helped kill Bee. They are going to get suspicious so I need you to send members to watch them. Ok?" His mouth falls, these were members of entente, how dare they do this.

"What's your plan exactly?" He asks as Lace giggles innocently and starts to sign,

"I have to make Val not trust them, which in turn will cause him to kill them. After, I was planning to kill him but that would cause me to be the number one suspect, but who cares?"

"Lace!?" Jonah smacks her arm, horrified at the thought that she would do that. The door to the bus opens and Lace catches sight of Val's black hair. She internally panics and moves to the seat next to her,

"See you at break." Her legs automatically go towards the end of the seat as she relaxes, heart beating. Val walks towards the end of the bus and smiles seeing Lace sketching in an almost completed sketchbook.

"Sugardoll." He murmurs hugging the small girl. Lace pushes him away and continues to sketch. Val sighs, she would need to let him show affection. His hands start to tangle themselves in her hair. Lace didn't bother with her hair today since she was running late. Val clicks his tongue,

"I always have to help you sugar doll."
