The Gangster Chapter 1
I woke up and all I could feel was blinding pain in every inch of my body and the cold hard floor beneath me. I tried to open my eyes but the pain was just too much, my eye felt like it was going to burst, I managed to squint it open ever so slightly and saw darkness, just pure black darkness. I could feel the rope burning around my hands and knew that I had been tied up and gagged as I felt the silk material on my tongue soaked in my own saliva. I wanted to cry and scream out, but I didn't even feel like I was breathing, not really. The last thing I could remember was being jumped on by big strong men who kicked me down and made me feel weak, I couldn't see their faces though as they were all wearing black masks. I remembering wondering who these men were and what they wanted from me, I had never hurt anyone in my life so I couldn't understand who would want to hurt me. Maybe I was supposed to be dead, maybe they had meant to kill me, but they why would they have tied me up?
The questions were too much for my brain right now and I couldn't think straight anyway with all the pain coursing through my body. I tried to sit up and get my hands out of the ropes but I realised I could barely move, that's when the tears started to fall, I Steven Hay had no idea where I was, who attacked me or if I would survive and those thoughts scared me more than anything in my life. I may have not had the best life but I have kids, two of them, well ones not technically mine but I have brought her up as my own and our Leah is the smartest little girl in her class, and then there's our Lucas, hes only two and needs his dad there to protect him, they both need me. Then there's Amy the mother of my children, who would do anything to keep our family together. We're not together me and Amy, we were never right for each other and I used to..well I used to hit her. I used to get off on the fact that I had power over her and she was scared of me, I hated myself back then and maybe this is why this has happened to me like karma ye know? Amy only let me see the kids again because I agreed to go to therapy, I had issues and I needed to get help so I did, and it was hard but we moved on and became friends and soon we became a family again. We live in a slum basically but it's just perfect for us four. We barely get by but we still manage to treat our Leah like a princess and our Lucas like a king, we don't want them to ever think they went without.
Just then a light came on in the room I was in and it startled me out of my thoughts and took me straight back to reality. I tried to open my eyes again and found it was slightly easier than before, I still couldn't see much just a blurry haze of bright lights which was harsh to look at. I then heard muffled sounds which I assumed were the voices of the men who had attacked me coming to finish me off. I heard footsteps coming my way and I tried to struggle my hands out of there ropes, I couldn't let these unknown men take my life without at least trying to fight for it, I thought of leah, lucas and amy and knew I needed to try and get out of this place. To my surprise when the people in the room finally reached me I felt two pairs of strong arms lift me too my feet and then bend me slightly to put me down on what I presumed was a chair. They then continued to hold onto my arms to stop me moving and that's when I heard one of the men in the room speak from beside me "if I was you mate I would keep still, the boss is going to be here soon and he is not going to want you wriggling all over the place". Who the hell did these people think they were and why did they think it was appropriate to call me mate! I felt my head drop forward as the exhaustion took over me, it's like I had no control over my own body, but unluckily for me one of the men holding me grabbed the back of my hair roughly and snapped my head back up. "Sit up straight boy! Don't want the boss thinking you're a lay about now do we". I heard the two men in the room chuckle loudly, the pigs. That's when I realised what they had said, they had said it twice now actually 'The Boss'. Who the hell was there Boss? And that's when I heard a rough Irish voice say "Well Lookey lookey what we have here". The voice sent shivers down my spine, I didn't dare look up but one of the men beside me grabbed my head again and made me look straight into the face of the man who I guessed was 'The Boss'. I again tried to open my eyes more and finally got them to focus on the man standing in front of me. I saw a man in his thirties with a long black moustache that curved round his mouth in a downwards motion, he was wearing a black expensive looking suit with a blood red shirt underneath, he had his hands in his pockets and was smirking and looking straight into my eyes. He opened his mouth to speak and said "Hello Steven.."
