Resurrection:
Chapter one: you're a free manLeo sat in the café, silently adding sugar to his coffee. Something he never did, and would only lead to him later on regretting and never drinking the cup. But at that moment it was all he could do, to keep himself occupied.
He was waiting in the place that had been theirs, or at least for the last six months had been. That had been all it had taken, six months a record for even him. Not that he was impressed by it, he hated it, he hated what he did, what he had become. But now there was no escape it was him, all of him, he was now the one thing he hated the most.
But he couldn't think about that now, he would leave it till he alone, back on the road, travelling to his next victim, as that was what they where. No matter what spin he put on it, 'its for the own good,' 'they'll be ok,' 'they'll bounce back,' 'I gave them something no money could buy.'
It didn't matter, to him it was all the same, he stole, he stole and caused pain and hurt. It didn't matter why, or who for, or how much love he gave before it, it didn't matter it was for love, it just didn't matter because it didn't stop it.
But again he shock the thoughts to the back of his head, saved them for another date, as now he had to straighten his suit, as to other men also wearing such suits walked towards him.
There was no need for introductions, or even any sort of welcoming, not that there was ever a need for one. He already knew them; he had known them his whole life. They had grown up together been best of friends his whole life.
But now they weren't children, they weren't best friends, not even friends, now they where something else, they where businessmen, they where suits.
As he sat an they began to talk about their,' business,' Leo sat and listened. Reminiscing on their childhood years, when things had been so different, so simple, so much brighter, so much more.
"Leo…. LEO!" suddenly snapped the older of the two suits, who had now realised his younger counterparts had seemed to of drifted into a dream world of sorts, something that annoyed him highly.
"Sorry, what was that Rick?" Leo asked jumping out of is thoughts, and directing them at what seemed to be an extremely annoyed Rick.
"I was just saying that Ludlow has dropped your debt," Leo wanted to smile, It was the greatest piece of news he had heard for the last six years but not a inch of his face moved, "you're a free man." Rick finished, as the youngest man sat in silence, fiddling with his jacket button though uncomfort.
"Thanks," Leo mumbled although ecstatic at being free he knew it wouldn't be the end.
"But," Rick carried on, "he's sad to let you go, an has decided to offer you a place, fulltime." He finished.
"No thank you," Leo simply answered.
"I see," Rick said standing, "well in that case I'll see you in hell," an Rick left becoming the younger man behind him, to follow.
Leo sat and watched, it was over, it was official, he was free, and his family was free. They couldn't be hurt anymore, but it wasn't over.
As he watched Rick walk away, his words echoed in his ears, 'I'll see you in hell,' the he hated to know where true. But also dreaded hearing again, sooner. As know dought he would be the one to do it, to kill him. A last goodbye from the first hello, it was the kind of way Ludlow's sick mind worked.
But Leo didn't care as the two turned the corner to their probably parked car, he knew it was finally, he was to do it, the last job, the big one, the payback.
He was going to do the biggest con of his life; he was going to con Ludlow. Start a new life, away from it all, a family, a wife, have it all, but not with out leaving Ludlow's empire, his world crashed around him. Like he had done to Leo's family those six years previously, when he destroyed it all.
A.N:
I know there's no Piper or that yet, but this is just setting the scene so please review. An I thought I would make Leo bad, as I thought a bad boy I could have more fun with. An Piper ect will be coming in soon, just got to sort the first two chapters first, in the next one there's a bit of a look in to their past, Rick and Leo's, so please review. Thanks.
