The Mafia Dice Game 2

Chapter 2

That night like every other Brooklyn was tormented by nightmares. She woke up with a shock sweat covering her body. She tossed and turned trying to go back to sleep but it never came. She didn't even know why she tried to make herself sleep again after her nightmares. There was only one thing she could do to help her restlessness.

She got out of her bed and quietly padded out of her room. She walked across the hall and slowly opened Max's room door, she didn't want to disturb Nana this late at night. She stepped into the room and closed the door behind her. She turned and saw Max lying on his bed without a shirt.

"How long was it this time?" He asked his voice low and raspy, "Just a few minutes" she replied. "Took you longer today" he said looking at her standing in front of the door. "Come on I was waiting on you anyway" he said pulling back the covers.

She happily walked over and got into bed next to him. She layed her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her, she inhaled his scent and smiled to herself. He smellet like home.

"I told you, you should just move in here with me" he joked, "I'll get over it one day" she said sleepily. She felt safe with Max, the nightmares have been happening for the passed three years. The fist night Max had charged into her room when he heard her screams, it then became a habit of theirs.

She would come to him when she had a nightmare and she would sleep in his room the rest of the night. This happened every night. Max didn't reply as he too felt himself slipping into unconsciousness, he just tightened his hold on her and fell asleep.

The next morning Brook woke to an empty bed, Max must of been in the shower getting ready for work. She got out of bed and went back to her room to also get ready for the day. After her shower she changed into a mint green top and blue skinny jeans. She was not in the mood to dress up today.

She sat down at the table with a tired sigh, "still tired honey?" Nana asked. "Yeah I can't wait for the weekend so I can get in a few extra hours of sleep" she repiled. After they had eaten Max dropped Brooklyn off at school and went to work.

Brooklyn was walking down the hallway to the library since she had a free period, she had been daydreaming and wasn't looking where she was going when she rounded the corner. She walked straight into someone, the impact was so hard she fell backwards onto her bum.

"Ouch! Shit!" She swore rubbing her sore areas, "sorry about that" a voice chuckled and reached out a hand to her. "It's okay I should of been paying attention" she said accepting the hand. Once she was one her feet she looked up at the person she had bumped into, only to come face to face with the new guy from yesterday who had been staring at her.

Brooklyn took a step back to put some distance between them. "Sorry again" she said then turned to leave, "Wait" he said stopping her. She turned to look at him,  "I'm Ryan I'm new here" he said sticking out his hand for her to shake this time. "Nice to meet you but I gotta go" she said trying to walk around him, "what's your name?" He asked.

"Brooklyn West" she said not turning back to look at him as she rushed down the hallway. She let out a sigh of relief as she got to the library. Ryan pulled out his phone as he watched the strange blonde girl ran away from him. "What's up Ryan?" His best friend Adrian said from the other side of the phone.

"I need you to do a search on Brooklyn West find out any and everything you can about here" he said, "Okay I'll do that but I gotta ask why?" He asked. "I don't know I just feel like she's hiding something. Her features don't fit her either" he explained.

"Are you sure you don't just find her interesting  and you want me to check this stuff?" Adrian teased. "No, I'm just making sure she's not a treat to us" Ryan growled back, "Whatever you say man I'm on it" he said then ended the call.

Later on that day Ryan watch Brooklyn leaving the school and getting into a black SUV with another guy. "Have you found the information I asked you to?" He asked Adrian. "Yeah we can talk when we get home" he replied, "well let's go then I want to hear what you have to say" he said pulling the jeep door open and getting in.

They all left the school grounds at once, Adrian and Justin on their bikes while Ryan drove in the jeep with Seth. A few minutes later they pulled up to a mansion with armed security always patrolling the land.

They went straight into the game room. "So what you got for me Adrian?" Ryan asked throwing his bag on the floor, and taking a seat on the couch. Seth and Justin went to the pool table, while Adrian opened up his laptop next to Ryan.

"So from what I found, her name is Brooklyn West. Blonde hair, grey eyes, banging body from what I see." Ryan rolled his eyes at his friend. "She was adopted three years ago by Elana West, who also had a gradson Maxwell West" he said. "So he must be the guy dropping and picking her up everyday" Ryan voiced his toughs.

"Yeah, well they seem clean nothing suspicious for the past three years..." he trailed off. "But?" Ryan question. "But it's before those three years that I'm concerned about. This girl it says she was at an orphanage age all her life if this is a made up profile it's done very good" he said typing something in.

"Maxwell is now the owner of a small construction company. Before that he was away in Miami for a couple years, but I can't tell what he was doing n the city. Wait! He has a criminal record."
