He walked out cautiously, his gun tucked behind his back. He peeped out and made his way completely to the sound of the gun that echoed again. Logan felt his heart go into a panic attack, and for some reason, It was weird. His heart was never scared of anyone or anything not even while he was in prison or after he had looked at his life briskly with no certainty of what the future might look like—Not since that time years ago when his heart had trembled from the effect of having it shattered by the news of his mother's death, not like tonight.His first thought was to ring her phone but those calls had ended futile, with no reply from her the taste of that bitter feeling filled his mind.He had heard of Mafia men being murdered in cold blood, and he had read about incidents about it but now as the dark thought sank into his mind the sudden image of himself lying in his pool of blood filled his thoughts with the sudden image, just moments before robbedof his senses.A hand touched

Three tasks— It was all they had agreed to, he was to make her do three things she couldn't say no to and while her heart felt heavy about what it could be, she hoped for sanity's sake it wouldn't be something that would leave a mark on her heart.Three hours ago.At the Basement.A look of awe filled everyone's eyes. He hit the blue eyes, it didn't make him the best shot but also the highest in the history of the family.To show it was no fluke he shot at it again, this time making a show about it, he shot again and again … Twice more, all hitting their mark."Want more?" He asked, turning to look at her."You mother fucking —""Language Miss, whatcha language." He patted his lips with a smirk forming by its side."You lied." She pointed out. "The deal doesn't count.""Well, I don't think that is how it works. " He muttered. "Not after you made me wash those cars.""Well, I can make this easier… Three. " He signaled." Three? " She asked, confused." Yeah, three. You get to do three t

"That is your first task." Logan points her toward the man that was seated three rows away."I don't understand you." She returned the gaze to the man and asked questions."Come closer." He beckons. "What!" Joan exclaimed as he whispered into her ears. "How do you expect me to do that, it is enough that I came here ."She stood up with a heart beating heavily with fury and spilled her drink over his face.Everyone turned in their direction he looked amused as she stormed away...He could hear each click of her heels echo off the wooden floorboards, as her heartbeatreplayed each reverberation against her chest it was the first time anyone had the guts to ask her for something like that.She felt ridiculed, it had only been days since he arrived here and had been dragged down her but that uncertainty felt the same, but something had shifted.She turned to see him leave the table as well, wondering to herself if she had overreacted, at long last she stopped right there just for the C

He walked back to the table and grasped the edge of the counter, closed his eyes, as he rang home.The phone buzzed and as instructed no one picked up, especially seeing it was a strange number, when it rang the second time Brock Walked to her with the phone.He knocks twice before stepping into the room, Joanne who was brushing through her wet hair and staring into the mirror turned back to look at him."Are you fine?" She asked as soon as he was in.The phone had been buzzing, are you sure he wouldn't be furious? "" And what was the instruction? " she looked back at him.It was one of those moments she didn't like going back on her orders, if there was anyone who knew this it should most definitely be Broke but at the moment he was making a big issue out of it."The instructions were not to pick up any call, but… "" No buts, just follow the fucking instructions! "He cocked a brow in a cavalier way. “You sure?Here she was under the. impression that he would just walk out, and s

The word seemed inappropriate as the words were at a loss for him. I felt that anger he felt for Joanne swell around him, till he was tilted off a point of gravity, and truthfully just because he couldn't control his anger anymore he punched the man.It was timely, he looked ahead and could see bikes riding toward where they were.The man stands and spits red on the floor.The bikes zoomed around where he was, covering him in a cocoon of smoke, each bike roared till they finally halted like it was all pre-planned. He swallowed a lump that was behind his throat as his mind raced.Alighting from the bike they made their way to where he was, they had eyes on him not stopping till they were towering all around him—He looked attentively at the men approaching when he was, it couldn't be the adrenaline deep inside his soul as well or an entirely different feeling but it was there, that fear that made his heart thud from deep inside of his soul.All this shouldn't be happening if they had p

When they left him there and dragged the woman away the damage was done — A broken nose, swollen face, and his diamond watch were all gone, they would have taken the ring but they had difficulty taking it off.Staring up at the sky, he watched as drops of rain began to fall. They landed on his face and caught him in his ashes. It was quite pretty, he mused, letting his mind drift awayfrom the pain that shot through him with every breath.Slowly, he shut his eyes… To death?Only time will tell.5.00 amThe cell phone was ringing. Brock walked over to where it was trying to collect his thoughts, he had just gotten out of bed and was feeling tired already, As soon as he reached the phone he grabbed it and did his best to focus his eyes on the Caller I.DLike the previous night, It was a local but he didn’t recognize it, he answered regardless…"Hello?" His voice came off with a bit of edge.He listened to the brief moment of introduction between them—“Are you a relative of Logan?”“No

“Hi, I’m here to see the man that was just brought in,” she muttered to the Blonde-haired, woman behind the desk."Were you the one I called a moment ago?"Joan looked back at Brock. "Yes."“He is in the ICU. Why don’t you have a seat and someone will be available shortly to speak with you.”“But we got a call from you guys. Can I go back and—”“Have a seat and someone will be out to speak with you.”She walked back to her seat and sat down slowly, reminding herself why she hated the West.On the wall a clock ticked at the same pace with her pulsating nerves.After a gasp Logan's eyes fluttered open, he looked around the room that wasn't his, the unfamiliarity of the room sinking into his inner mind."Where am I ?" He questioned.The Images of the previous night flooded through his mind, last night he had thought it would most certainly be his last, but he was in this —.He tried sitting up but felt a sharp pain at the side of his head.He let out a cry of anguish. "I am going to make

Logan watched them leave, his mind was again filled with the fact that he needed a shower, and then he could figure out what his next stepsare as He longed for his revenge —"When do you think I will be discharged?" He asked.She smiles sheepishly. " By the weekend. ""Weekend!" He grimaced, noting I was too far and he had to do something.Soon after she had left, he waited for a while, he opened his eyes tiptoed down the hall, and peeked at the back door to see if any nurse was at the table.The door sits in the frame at an awkward angle, almost as though it was a trap, and at any moment anyone might just walk to the door and see him trying to leave.The sun shines in through the small windows, the sky beautiful and blue.He walked to the door briskly and soon he was out.He was certainly the last person anyone was expecting to see, at the moment he stood there still dressed in hospital wear, and the maid that got the door could barely stop herself from laughing watching as he walked

“I mean, you will still have to finish the three tasks from the bet."She walked along silently for a moment, considering the information. She looked at Logan."Fine then.""Good ."She stole a look out of the corner of her eyes at how calm he was. She hesitated, in her mind at first but then decided it could not harm to tell him the truth.She had to tell him the other clause In the contract, she stared at the mark, apparently speechless. Finally, she collected herself and killed off a smile on her face.He could see the serious look she had on her face and immediately he felt concerned about it."What is the problem?"Logan asked.He locked his gaze with her, in a way he was looking more worried than even Joanne had looked."There is something I have to tell you.""What is it?"She opened her mouth to speak but Brock joined them." It is time. " Brock muttered.The Craven Sanctum;West Chinatown.Mere looking at the inscription on the walls with a binocular one could see the darkness

"Of course, I am what else do you think?" He clicked his gun and this drew a smirk from the other man."This is no mere child's play, we can still back away and come back when you are ready."Logan doesn’t comment on it. He thought about the offer there on the table and his feeble mind humored at the idea of it.“I will be here during the storm, I would fight through it as well,” he says, lookinganywhere but at Brock."I hope you still keep to your word when things get heated up."He barely registers the words, as the sound of the men moving with a low rumble builds in his chest as he narrows his eyes at them."Let's do this ." He patted him on the back."Well then, best of luck …Stay alive.” he rumbles. “Or won't you want to? "He already knows the answer. He smells Logan's fear, desperation, and his need but if there was anything that he had learned about the man so far, it was the fact that he fought through them.“I would,” He confirms.“I owe you a drink after this ” Logan mutter
