Chapter 4: Taking back what is ours

Drix had not given him a choice, but an order. She had to go there and do as she was told, because in addition to the missing money, she had dirty hands. Roan was obliged to take her no matter how much he didn't want to, although seeing that pair again seduced him in a certain way.

Skyler left a short message to her friend after getting into the vehicle, she didn't want Izzy to go crazy, she could solve it one way or another.

Neither of them mentioned anything most of the way, Roan kept a confusion in his mind while Skyler begged him not to ask anything about that night they met.

"What were you doing that night there?"

Skyler curses inside for being so inopportune, the least he wanted to think about was his previous life.

"Excuse me?" “

“The party where we met that time. It was exclusive for people of this type of business and from what I see, you have nothing to do with all this. May I know what you were doing there? “

"It's not something I should be important."

"I wouldn't ask you if I wasn't interested. I want to avoid surprises.

"Surprises?" Do you think that someone like me can give you some kind of surprises? What do you want to know? If I'm some kind of stupid mafia woman who wants to mess with her affairs?”Roan grimaces like a smile as he looks at the road.

"Are you?" it's Skyler's turn to laugh.

"You have imagination. “

"Yes. And from what I see, you're an interesting woman”Skyler raises an eyebrow as she listens.

“What's interesting? “

"From what little I could see, you're a suburban mommy with a perfect family, who gets into the business she shouldn't, and she loses an assignment like this?" What are you and your sister supposed to do in this organization? “

"I can assure you that my sister knew little about what they did within that company. My intention is not to get into this, if I'm here it's just to not have problems. It will be the last time you see me. “

"How are you so sure it will be the last time?"

It became clear to her that she had the power of absolutely nothing. She had gotten into an unknown matter that she wasn't sure where it ended. The best thing he could do right now was to keep his mouth shut.

The rest of the trip continued in the same way, and it wasn't until they parked where they should have that they both exchanged glances again. Roan turned off the vehicle's lights and pulled a gun from his waistband, offering it to him.

"I'm not going to use it.

"The men over there aren't going to ask you shit. You better do it. Do you know how to shoot?

She didn't answer, just grabbed it and turned to get out of the vehicle. In silence, Roan guided her to the back of that lonely mechanical workshop. That was a place that the stupid Scott and Kai liked to spend time in.

"Most likely, they're drugged and don't even realize it. You have to go in and catch them, you have to follow him and stay behind me.

"Do you think they're going to let themselves get caught up like nothing?"

"They're a couple of idiots. Follow me.

Inside the place there was low music, the characteristic smell of crack flooded Roan's nostrils. As I had thought, they were both lying in low armchairs, listening to music and drinking a beer. It was clear that those men were not the smartest in town.

Roan loaded the gun at the same time Skyler did, and they only noticed when they pointed the two at their heads. They both looked at each other, and Kai was the first to see Roan behind his friend, there he knew that everything had gone to the devil.

"Years in which my father has taken care of you, ill-born. Are your merchandise being stolen now? How do they even think of it?”

"Heck, Roan. We weren't even thinking, buddy. We can pay it back, I promise you," Kai says desperately.

"We didn't know it was your father's.

"Lie," Skyler interrupts. They knew exactly where to look, they said the van was guarded.

"Shut up, you. Scott growls and tries to get off the couch, but it's Roan who hits him in the rib first.

"Damn, sit down. Stop being an for the first time in your life. Where is your gun?

Skyler notices the movement Scott wants to make with his right hand, where he has a small knife stored inside the shoe. He did not know how he managed to get there even before him, but he took it and with the same edge ended up cutting part of his hand when removing it.

"Motherfucker! Scott shouts.

"What the fuck did you want to do with that?" Hey?

Roan checks that he has no more weapons in his body and then leaves him with his chest resting on the cloth, putting the safety on the weapon again.

"Where's my money?" “

"I don't know!" shouts Scott.

"Don't you know?" the man laughs and beckons to Skyler. "Give me the rope, I think they'll think better when they're up there. “

"Brother, please. Don't do that," Kai tells him.

"Think about where you are, Kai. “

Their hands quickly begin to knot Scott's wrists, immobilizing him. The man looked hatefully at Skyler, regretting not killing her.

"I have all the time in the world, but I don't think my dad has the patience to wait for them. “

"Why do you think it was us?" Scott says as Roan is tying him to a pole. "Do you believe this bitch that we robbed you when we're friends?" “

"Friends?" laughs as the tight knot ends. "You were the first one who betrayed me. Do you remember? You wanted to rob me and then kill my father.

"And what else does it give you?" You don't want to be in business and you know I would have done you a favor.

"Yes, Scott. You're right, I'll return the favor”after that, punch him in the face.

"How do you know she's not lying to you?" Kai shouts behind him, "She stole your money!

Roan turns and frowns when she sees Kai suddenly getting up to hit her and start running.

Skyler had been distracted by listening to what Roan was saying. It wasn't until he felt the blow in his mouth that he reacted to his carelessness. Roan began to follow him, the place was large, but the truth is that all the doors were sealed except where they had entered.

Kai is taken by the shirt and his body falls backwards, although he was still skilled with punches. He manages to grab Roan's arm when he is about to hit him and kicks him in the hip. The man complains loudly and rejoins to hit his face, Kai began to move violently before the blows, but also tried to defend himself.

Roan was a big man with strong arms and kept beating him in strength. She ended up grabbing him by the neck, though she wasn't counting on him kicking her in the middle of the stomach, bringing him to his knees.

Kai didn't have much extra air either, but he tried to get out of there. When Roan looks up to check that he could still reach it, he sees the moment when the blade edge digs into the back of Kai's thigh, causing him to fall.

With a brief glance he observes Skyler, who approaches the man with the ropes in his hand. Before bending down at him, knowing he still had intentions of standing up, he hands him a kick in his rib, hearing him scream.

"Damn coward. Do you enjoy hitting me?”Roan arrives at that moment, still breathing with a little difficulty, but helping her to tie him up.

"Please don't tie me up. I'm going to bleed”

Despite the pleas, Roan ends up hanging him from the ceiling. I needed it all to end soon.

"Maybe if you're hanging for a few hours you'll end up bleeding out when I pull out the knife," Roan tells him as he begins to raise it. - Are you going to tell me where you left my money? Or what's left of him? “

Roan didn't wait too long to tighten the ropes and grab a bucket of water on the side to soak them.

"I'm sure you remember how much I liked playing with electricity and all that shit. “

"It's in the trunk! It's all there! “

"Very well. I'll come back right away for the three of us to settle a personal matter. You must imagine what I mean.
