Riot [On Hold]

Chapter 7

Nobody's your friend. People just take what they want,and leave.

I walked up towards the door of the motel,worn and beyond repair.

It's locked.

He's got the keys.

I turned around and came face to face with Roy.

He was looking right at me.

"Riot," he started, "where are you-"

"Open the door."

He shook his head, taking one step forward, holding his gaze that was pouring into my eyes.

"Tell me where you're going."

I looked away.

"Into town."

"Then after that?"

"That's none of your business."

Riot, we need to go.

"Open the door.", I demanded.

He complied,reaching for his keys in his pocket before stepping forward and removing the padlocks from the door. I moved back,watching him do so before he opened the door and turned towards me.

His eyes met mine,and I felt the electric sensation that he brought upon me. It begged for entrance, like a tiger, prowling with curiousity, his eyes fiery, his mind longing for an answer.

"Stop," I retorted,breaking eye contact.

I pushed past him and made my way towards the Audi and unlocked the doors.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see Roy coming towards me.

"What?" I called, looking at him before turning my head towards the road,the beaming sunlight entering my eyes, causing me to squint.

I opened the door of the car, about to get in before he spoke.

"Riot,the moment you enter town everyone will know who you are, and I mean everyone. It isn't safe."

I didn't answer, my mind swarming with thoughts.

He's spitting facts,the moment you set foot inside a store, the police,the army, the pericoloso,everyone will be onto you.

There are cameras , everywhere.

Fuck.

"Riot,I can help you get out of here,but you have to listen to me."

He's offering a way out.

"And what makes you so eager to do that?" I retorted.

Why the hell does he want to help me?

He brought you inside, now he wants to help,I'm pretty sure he has an agenda up his sleeve.

Be cautious until you can find out.

How the hell will I do that?

You'll see.

"I just-listen, either you take this or you leave it,but if you wanna get out of this mess you're in quick and easily you gotta accept my help."

I gritted my teeth,thinking it over.

I was in a difficult position.

Riot,he used to work in the secret service,you know that. Maybe he can help.

One wrong move from him and I'm putting a bullet through his head.

"Get in,then. Passenger seat next to me."
