Every Bad Boy has a Story

Chapter 14: Silent

30 Days Ago

Tanner's POV

I silently but quickly walked into the almost nearly deserted cafe. There was an old man drinking a cup of coffee and A young lady who looked to be in about her twenties reading a book at an empty booth.

I found a seat in the back booth and I sat there. I looked at the clock.

5 more minutes. He had exactly 5 more minutes and he better be on time too.

I patiently waited for him to arrive. 5 minutes later he walked in. He had black hair and blue eyes.

"I was starting to question if you we're going to show up or not." I say.

He looks at me with a grim look on his face. "I said I would didn't I?"

I just looked at him. "Right."

He sighs. "You've got to trust me Tanner or this will never work."

"I do trust you Adam, but if you do something stupid I'll kill you."

He smirks, "Glad we're on the same page then."

I nod my head. "So what have we got?"

"Your father is doing the Switch in exactly 35 days. It's really exclusive which means that not everyone will be able to get in or will be alienable for it." He states.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused. "I thought that anyone could either buy off the girl that they wanted or they could switch them out."

He shakes his head at me,"Not anymore, things have changed and just got way more complicated. And guess how much the switch is?"

I looked at him. "How much?" I asked.

"50,000." he said.

My mouth dropped to the ground. 50,000? What the fuck? Shit just got too complicated.

I put my head in my hands. Where am I going to get $50,000 from? And in 35 days?

"But, if you bring a girl to exchange, you only have to pay 5,000." Says Adam.

My head snaps up. "Really?" I ask.

He nods his head. "All we need is a decoy. To make our way in there, nothing less nothing more. And once we get in there we need a plan."

I shake my head. "It all sounds good, but first we need a decoy. Each of us."

He looks at me. "Im willing to do whatever it takes to save my sister, I don't know about how you feel now about saving Emma because you hardly knew the girl but--"

I put my hand up in front of him to cut him off. "Fine. I'll get a decoy. But we have to make sure all 4 of the girls get out safely."

He nods his head. "Yeah, I agree."

I nod my head at him back and we sit in silence.

"You know, working with the HTOG (Human Trafficking of Girls,) its crazy. Having to act as if I'm actually on there side disgust me. To have to actually take those girls from their families and see them kick and fight for their lives, begging, pleading for you to let them go. Praying to their God up high, asking for a miracle. But knowing that it won't come. They own you now. You're their property. When they say move you move, and when they say talk you talk. You're their possession along with everyone else. I want to crush all those guys in half for taking my sister. She was 15 years old and they snatched her from me and my family like a bunch of cowards. And for that? For their own dirty deeds? They all need to pay." He glanced at me with anger in his eyes before continuing, "Especially your father."
