Chapter 2

Aaron

I took long breaths just to inhale the sweet fragrance of Natasha, and distract myself from her beauty, the way her index finger went around the glass cup creating a faint soothing sound.

"You know why you're here." She crossed her legs exposing her tight, I had allowed my gaze to remain on the rugged floor, rules is rules.

"Yes mistress."

She brought the cup to her red lipstick painted lips, druming silently on the glass with her diamond ringed finger, she lowers the cup with a faint sigh and look up at me, I never look her in the eyes though. "you'll be penetrating in a highly secured property beware of the traps in the dark, you have right to no error, maybe if you are good throughout I'll be willing to let you have a proper meal." she said while dropping her cup on the glass table.

I nodded to myself while thinking of the delicious meal I'll probably be having, I've learnt not to ever follow the letters of Ms Cobra's promises.

The pricking sensation of her index black polished fang was what brought me out of my thought, I must have zone out for too long. She was standing in front of me finger under my chin piercing my flesh, she tilted my head up, So I could look straight in her coco cold brown eyes, her face heard sternness, hatred and it was a little threatening.

"You have no right for errors, you must return with the package all of 'em, and don't you dare escape cause I'll find you and you'll be severely penalize in such a way you'll wish for death to come upon you." The more her tone raised the more her finger went deeper in my flesh. I felt blood trickling down my throat.

"I'm already dead," I said while looking her straight in the eyes, "Long ago, but don't you worry I'll be back with the package." I said, she slowly pulled back her finger sauntering back to her chair.

"As soon as you get the packages give them to Tom." She plop on her seat waving dismissal hands at me.

*************

"Move up!" Tom's voice came interrupting my mission though he was behind the bars it felt like he was inches away he doesn't stop screaming it distracted me each time.

I stare down at the last few white packages, quickly grabbing them I shoved them in my bag, the other packages were with Tom, it was difficult but I manage to slip them through the bars.

I held my strap firmly as I got up and shut the drawers all hundred packages gone, the owner would be furious as hell to know that a thief had snuck in while he was asleep.

The sudden flash of a touchlight made me whirl around and squinted on how dazzling the light was, I raised a hand over my eyes still squinting.

"What the hell are you doing?" The person behind the touch spoke up, his voice was strong and firm, maybe the guard.

"Nothing, I just got hear, some older punks were after me, I wanted a safe place, I didn't mean to raise any suspicion those boys wants to kill, I can't go out there." I tried to sound as innocent as possible, all suspicion must be eliminated.

"Come here." he lowered the touch so I could see him gesturing.

"Please don't call the cops, I just wanted protection."

"Hmm, I'll escort you to the door." He sounded convinced, I keep it low trying to look innocent as possible as I approach him.

"Any guardian contact?" he asked once I was close, His hand flew to his back.

"I called my father just after I entered, I guess he must be out there." I said while grabbing the strap of my bag firmly.

He put his hand on my shoulder as we walked the hall in silence.

"Why are your clothes so ripped? and what is in your bag?" His voice came out cold and threatening, I had suspected his betrayal the instance he ask me to come closer.

"My time is up." With that I pulled out my pocket knife and stab him on the size, he screamed holding his side that was now bleeding while lowering to his feet.

The sounds of heavy footsteps approached us, up to twenty men appeared at the end of the hall holding nightsticks with cuffs, I look down at the almost unconscious guard, reaching down to pick his keys, he had tried to stop me but I kicked his hand and raced to the exit.

I was all to familiar with the adrenaline, the pounding of my heart in my rib cage and the numbness of my body when I run, I could trip badly and feel nothing or run in a huge wall, or worst get hit by a car, yet nothing.

"Shit!" I was trapped in the middle of the hall with the both exit barricaded by the guards. I guess I won't be needing the keys.

"You have been circled kid, give back what you have stolen and maybe we'll let you go." One of the guards said.

I looked up and saw no other choice than the aeration. I quickly place both hands on the wall and spread my legs so I could climbed up, the hall was pretty narrow so I made it up before the could get hold of me, in no time I was crawling in the aerator then all of a sudden I heard sounds of gunshot and the bullets piercing the floor of the aerator almost hitting me.

I made it up to the roof untouched the only puzzle left to solve was how the hell I was going to jump down without breaking any, I didn't have much time to figure it out before the roof door was bursted open with the guards all running towards me.

I took few steps back to gain enough speed, I took to my heels and launch towards the other roof the gap was enormous but I could do it, it wasn't my first time. Or not, failure comes at one point in life, is a 'most happen' incident in every life.

I drop on a cabbage can falling chest first before I landed on the floor wincing at how my ribs now hurt.

I'm hundred percent sure I had crack one or two ribs as usual. I pick myself up slowly stumbling.

"What the hell? Where the fuck are you?!" Tom's voice was booming in the earpierce almost splitting my eardrum.

"I g-got caught," I said in between breath and almost rip my ear from how much he was yelling.

"Calm your mad senses down!" I yelled talking a deep breath myself my ribs had started hurting so much. When he wasn't speaking I cease the opportunity to speak up. "Meet me in the east alle-"

I was cut off by bullets flying past my ears, I was back to racing like never before. The breeze rushing in my lungs, making it almost impossible to breath, my brisk movement did no good to my ribs but that didn't stop me, pain was part of me it was like a brother, twin brother even.

I tripped in an alley fracturing my ankle, my heart was pounding and I couldn't breath. I open my mouth to take as much air as possible, I reach down to push my ankle side way letting out a little scream when it snapped, I got back on my feet and kept running.

My little race brought me to a wall. "Ughhhhh!!!" I gritted my teeth and started climbing the wall, another bullet flew by my side almost hitting my hand, I made it to the other size safe and kept running down the street.

All of a sudden three cars pop out at the very end of the street accelerating towards me, I had to cross the busy road, I swung over a truck cap without getting hit and ran to the next alley, there was no way I would climb another wall without passing out midway.

I hid behind some cartons, where they would never find me. If I pray enough.

From my hiding place, I saw there feet and touchlights looking for me like crazy, I shrink quietly in the cartoons.

"WHERE ARE YOU?" Tom yelled.

I remained silent, any little sound might expose my cover.

"FUCK! ANSWER ME, MOTHERFUCKER!" I gritted my teeth trying to hold back my response, I swear some of these days I'll eliminate him.

His shit continue for too long, I guess it was the effect of the drugs he was taking. My shock collar went off, causing me to jerk hitting some of the cartons. All the touches fell on me, I was totally surrounded, This is, the sounds of guns cocking announced my doom.

I slowly got up with hands above my head, "Fuck off Tom." I said before smashing the earpiece.

************

The door of the small room was slammed open letting in, a tall guy, he wasn't that tall though, he looked intimidating from head to toe, black leather jacket, black jeans pant, inky black eyes with a knitted brow and a balled fist, but he wasn't that intimidating to me. He took some steps towards me expecting every inch of me, I remained put where I was seating leaning against the wall, I refuse all eye contact with him, never make eye contact when you aren't oblige to.

"What the hell is this?" He looked at the guy by his left, who was clearly trembling, his voice was cold holding a frighting base, yet he wasn't intimidating to me.

"He had penetrated in Kendrick property and stole the whole package, he stabbed one of our men, his complice had escape with the ninety five packages, he had only five packages in his bag, he refuses to reveal the name of his boss." The man said his gaze remaining on the floor all the while.

"Only one child, for one fucking scumb! one little damn cockroach you disturb my peace and ringed the danger bell!" He hits the man on the face when he wouldn't reply.

"Get the hell out! you all are incapable sons of bitches! I'll deal with him myself." He shoot me a fierce glare, as he stomp towards me.

He stopped midway reaching for his phone, he brought it up to ear, he mumbles something on his phone before glance at me and disappearing behind the door that got shut just after I heard the jingling of the keys behind the door.
