trauma flashback
“what did you mean by Chase’s mother warning you?” I asked
“Marissa told us that you both would end up together and that would bring our gangs together when you both were infants. That’s why we kept you two apart and then I sent you away so the possibility would never occur. We’ve tried and tested to rule together but our companies and gang is too large for a singular entity to rule” dad explained
“yeah, and that’s why we had a falling out as well cause Marissa didn’t like the way they sent their daughter away which I agree a little.” Lance added
“we wanted to raise you two like cousins of sort.”
“ew” both of us said together
“oh that’s just nasty, with the things I've seen..” Anderson spoke for the first time and shut up with a glare from Chase.
“I'm going to ignore that statement for my mental peace” dad muttered
“well people you’re forgetting that we have all now got a common enemy and you guys just made peace, so I think we can take on the Snitches.” Anderson added
“he’s right. We do have a goal now and we know that Charles would want this divide.” I said and everyone nodded.
“we can easily kill him. I'm sure Handbrook won’t mind.” Lance said
“I am pretty sure Handbrook is in on this. No one declares war internationally if they didn’t have the backing or the motive.” Dad stated.
“let us handle this father. It will take time and resources but let’s gather intel from the man ACAB captured and Val and I will come up with a plan.” Chase said and I nodded
“it’s Valerie for you, son” my dad said and Anderson snickered, this time earning a glare from my father.
“one thing is for sure. School is going to be extra secure for you lot and all the known and unknown spies of S.K are going to get expelled immediately.” Lance said and everyone agreed.
We dispersed and dad pulled aside to talk to Chase about something.
“Lance” I called out to him before he went upstairs
“I didn’t mean to threaten you. Don’t take it to heart girl.” He said
“oh I would love a life threat from you at this point, would give me practice for the real thing.” I responded and lance raised his brow at me in a ‘you have guts bitch’ way.
“you might just grow on me if you keep this attitude up.” He said and gave a smirk, “anything you wanted to say?”
“I just wanted to give you the assurance that there won't be any harm to your people anymore. I will personally make sure of it. They made it personal and we’re just too good at revenge when things are personal.”
“I didn’t kill his last girlfriend just cause of approval. I'm not that cruel. She was distracting him and not challenging him which was becoming a problem, why don’t you follow me for a second?” he said and headed up the stairs. I wasn’t afraid of him as I knew the weapons I carried can easily hurt him in 2 seconds or less. I had a feeling he knew that too. Plus he would lose Chase so, extra insurance.
We went into his office on the first floor and he made me wait outside while he grabbed a file.
“This has everything you need to know. Chase was too heartbroken to ever find out the real reason so we kept it from him. But you seem like the type to want to know everything.” He said and headed to his room. I went back down where Anderson was waiting for me.
“cannot believe he gave you the file. That’s like totally saying you’re in my gang.” Anderson said
“you guys have read it?” I asked
“only Vince and I, probably Mila but who knows if she could hack it or not. Mostly stomach it.”
“how have we never found it out in background checks?”
“because it is not connected to this family. You’ll understand if you read it.”
“when I read it.” I said and he smiled.
“I shall see you later Vally, Dicanto will drop you home.” My dad said coming out of one of the rooms. I gave him a surprised expression and he just smiled back. I handed him the file and saw him to his car.
“so what’s the plan boys, what are we doing” Anderson said
“we’re not dating?” Chase said,
“yes drama!” Anderson interrupted,
“nope” I replied while we walked up to Chase’s room
“was that really a necessary piece of information to give to our fathers?”
“it was yes” I smiled
“they’re probably thinking we just fucking” Chase said
“and you guys are not?” Anderson asked, plopping down on the bed.
