The Right Wrong Number

Chapter 9: Life or Death making up

I didn't bother cleaning up the petals and candles. Instead I called the one person who could help me. I pace by the door until I heard my doorbell. I open and see Bryson standing there shaking his head

"I know, I know. Shut up and come in. I need your help." I say

"She won't tell me what happened so start talking. I'm not doing shit until I know if I should help or not."

"Ok we had dinner with my family. Started off rocky but her and my mom were getting along by the end of it. We came back here, we went up to my room, I was trying to undress her..."

"Woah! Stop! Please skip to the end! I don't need to hear that. What did you do that pissed her off so much?"

"Well like I said things were going...uh good but my phone kept ringing so after the third time I answered and it was my 2nd in command. He needed me at my club. I know it's shitty but after what he showed me I did need to go. I mean it probably could've waited until the next morning now that I'm saying it out loud...Anyways I was so angry that I didn't want to go back home right away and do or say something to Mia. So I stayed and just hit my punching bag for a while. After I was calmed down some I sat down and apparently fell asleep."

"That's what happened? So you didn't like cheat or anything?"

"Fuck no. I'm one of the most feared men in the world. I can snap a mans neck without much effort but I'm sure Mia could probably kick my ass if I ever cheated."

"You don't know how right you are. Though she is good with a knife, she's better with a gun."

"What?"

"Uh nothing. So what do you need my help with?"

"You remember that really ridiculous over the top plan you came up with before we settled on the lunch date plan?"

"Yeah why...ohhhh"

"Yeah. You're graduating a year early right?"

"Yeah why?"

"If you can pull this off I'll pay for you to throw the biggest graduation party this city has ever seen."

"Throw it at your club and you have a deal"

"Fine. Whatever you want but no deal if this doesn't work."

"I can agree to your terms. You know what I need though" He says with a devious smile.

I run my hand over my face and reach into my pocket pulling out my wallet. I pull out my card and hand it to him.

"I'm trusting you with this. If there are any charges that don't belong I will know and I will come after you. Mia or no Mia you don't want these problems."

"Yeah yeah big bad mafia guy...blah blah blah. I get it. Look a badass graduation would be great but this is my sisters happiness we're talking about. I'm not doing it for the party. I would've done it either way. My sister gave up her childhood dreams to take care of me. I'd do anything for her."

"Thank you. I know you're not doing this for me so I'm grateful for your help."

"Good. And before you ask I can't tell you about what she gave up. You're gonna have to ask her."

"She's not like a secret spy is she?"

"Now if she was do you really think I could or would tell you?"

"You have a point."

"Ok. So when do you need this done bye?"

"Tomorrow..."
