Today was the day. Me, Michael and his parents all sat in the kitchen and talked about what is going on. Michael's dad came up with a great idea.
"Okay so my friend Rob is a cop. So him and his partner are going to park their car down the block and walk over and wait for them to get here." He said, counting the money.
We weren't sure if it was going to fully work because Nick and Max are tricky, so we have the money just in case.
"I saved up some money to help so-" I said, going to hand Michael's father the money, but Michael pulled my arm back.
"You don't have to do that. Save up that money for something good." He said.
"But this is all my fault." I knew it was my fault. They just don't want to say it to me to make me feel worse about this.
"Babe it's not your fault." Michael said, holding my hand.
Michaels mother just glared at me. She defiantly hates me.
It then grew silent. We all sat in silence for what felt like forever. It was then the doorbell rang.
"That might be Rob or at least I hope it is." Michael's dad said, getting up and walking over to the door.
When he opened the door a sigh or relief came to us. We saw two cops standing in the doorway. He let them in side and Michael's father greeted us.
"Everyone this is Rob and his partner Spencer." He said.
I swear I knew one of the cops. He probably has broken up a few parties I was at when I was younger or whatever shit I got into I had a lot of problems with the cops a while back.
"Okay so these guys, they threatened you to give them a large amount of money and are coming to pick it up today?" Rob asked.
"That would be right." Michael's mother said.
"Do you any of you know them?" He asked.
"I do I um use to be close with them but I dropped them and they have been harassing me for about a year now and now they have moved on to my boyfriend and his family." I said.
"Seems rough. How did you meet?" Spencer asked.
"They helped me through some dark times, but ended up leading me in the wrong direction, so I dropped them." I said.
"So they need you in a way, but you don't want anything to do with them, so now they will do anything to ruin your life?" Rob questioned.
"Basically." I shrugged. No one ever really put it like that.
"Okay so here is the plan." Rob said.
Right when he was about to talk, there was a knock at the door.
"It's them." I said.
Rob and Spencer told us to back away. They pulled their guns out of there pocket and slowly approached the door.
"1...2..3" Rob said, then busting the door open.
"Max! Nick! You are under-" Before he could finish, he realized they were gone. He peaked out the door and looked around. No one insight. Just a note on the door.
"Well they got away, but left a note." He said, picking it off the door and opening it.
He read it to himself and we waited until he finished to tell us what it said.
"What does it say?" I asked.
"It seems like they aren't coming here to pick up the money. They want you two to drive somewhere and give it to them." He said, pointing to me and Michael.
"No. I won't let that happen!" Michael's mother cried.
"Mom we have to go. It's okay." Michael said, comforting her.
"Fuck!" I said, slamming my post on the table. I was sure we had them this time.
"Alright let's go." I said.
"Okay you guys will drive to this address and we will follow you there, but we won't make it obvious. Don't worry Mr and Mrs Clifford, Michael and Kayla will be fine. Nothing will happen to them. I promise." Rob said, patting me and Michael on the back.
"It would be best if you guys stayed here. Don't worry. It will be fine." Spencer said.
They agreed to stay and hugged Michael goodbye.
"Don't worry I know these guys, they won't do shit." I said.
"Alright let's get going." Rob said, leading us outside.
Me and Michael hopped in the car and we drove off. I told him where to go on what the note said. I held his hand the entire time.
"Okay make a right here then a left at the next light." I said.
"This is insane." Michael said, squeezing my hand.
"Don't worry, once we give them the money or they catch them, we will be fine." I said, kissing his hand.
I never was really scared of them, but this time it was gone too far and I'm a little nervous, but I don't want to show it.
"Okay where next?" Michael asked.
"Um Turn right here and it should be right over-" I cut myself off when I saw where he wanted us to go. He really wanted me to suffer and bring back all my awful memories. It was my old house. The house I lived in with my parents before they moved away and left me.
"Is this the house that-"
"This is my old house." I said.
"Why would they make us come here?" He asked.
"Because they are assholes." I said.
Once we pulled up, Michael texted his parents that they were here so they can tell Rob when to move in.
"Okay let's go inside." I said.
When then go out of the car. I held on tight to the money. Michael came around to my side and held me tight.
Before I walked up the stairs to my house, I took a deep breath. This place brought back bad memories.
I walked inside to see no one in here.
"Hello? We are here." Michael said.
"We got the money come fucking take it and we will be on our way!" I yelled.
Max then appeared from one of the rooms.
"Nice house you have- or should I said had." He laughed.
"Alright we got the money, exact what you asked." I said, holding it up.
"Wow you actually got it!" Nick said, coming out of one of the rooms as well.
"Yea now here ya go you ungrateful assholes." I said, chucking the money at him.
Max caught it and began to count it to make sure it was enough.
"Exact amount. Nice job." Max said, handing the money to Nick.
"Why did you need this money so bad?" I asked.
"None of your business sweet cheeks." Nick said.
"Alright now that you have to money, we will be on our way." I said, grabbing Michael's hand and turning to walk out the door.
Before I could make it out the door, I heard a gunshot go off through the ceiling.
"Not so fast we aren't finished yet." Nick said, with a big smirk on his face.
In that moment I knew, we were fucked.
