Prologue
I am free for the time being but how long can that cell keep him away from me. I mean yeah he is locked up but I know he is determined to get out and when he is determined about something he succeeds. So her I am constantly looking over my back waiting for him to get out and come track me down. I am constantly moving from state to state just too hopefully confuse him and to keep him off my track.
I work crappy jobs and keep my social life nonexistent. I don't want to have anything here that will keep me from moving on. I have to keep going so he won't find me. I know he blames me and quite frankly I blame myself. It was not supposed to go down like that but they said if I didn't turn him in they would lock me up as well and I would not last in jail. They say he doesn't blame me but I can't help but think he does. That look on his face before they sent him away was murderous.
I get ready to go to my crappy job number one. In the evenings I work at a music store and at nights I work for a club as a bartender. I work both to keep me so busy I have no time to go out. I only stay in one place for a couple months. So far I have been here for 2 weeks now. It's not so bad I mean Toronto isn't that bad. I have never been to Canada so I said hey I might as well experience it.
My boss here is a prick and I have no clue why I put up with his shit. He steady tries to hit on me. He better be careful or he might find his manhood missing one of these days. We never stay busy which is good; it gives me time to catch up on the latest music. The bell by the door rings which means a customer just walked in. I look up to the door and see a tall handsome guy with the most piercing blue eyes walk in. Oh god he is hot oh well no attachments remember.
I walk up to him "Good evening is
there anything I can help you with?" He looks at me and I feel like
I want to melt. God no one has had this effect on me not even ok my
thoughts are not going to go back to him not right now. I have a
feeling he said something but I was so caught up I missed it. Yep he
is waving his hand trying to get my attention.
"Huh I am sorry
what did you say?" He laughs a little. I was expecting him to be
mad but he wasn't.
"I said I am here to pick up my order" I
nod and motion for him to follow me to the register.
"Your name"
"Tom Quincy" I search and find his order. I get his stuff and
ring him out.
"Thank you and have a good day" I say to him as
he gets ready to leave.
"You too" He smiles to me and walks
out the door. Damn I wish I didn't have that no attachment rule. Oh
well I guess this was a one time deal of seeing him anyways.
The rest of my time there I thought about Tom. I just could not get my mind off of him. Oh well it was time for me to go to my other job. Maybe being around all those obnoxious drunk assholes will get my mind off of Tom and my past. Why can't my past be just that my past? It is interfering in my present oh well. When I get to the club I see that it is pretty packed tonight. Some high profile singer was supposed to be here or something. I forgot her name oh well I guess I will see when she performs.
On the bright side I will be making some good tips tonight. An hour into my shift I was starting to get irritated by all the guys hitting on me. They were drunk off their asses. Some of them almost got their manhood taken off. You wonder why I keep saying that well back in my past that was my specialty. That was the way I got information out of the guys. Oh well lets get out of my past right now.
"So not only do you
work at a music store but you also bar tend" I know that voice. I
look up and yes there he is Tom Quincy.
"Yea I work two jobs. So
what can I get you?" I ask him trying to be as professional as
ever.
"Water I am driving tonight. I am here on business anyways
my artist is singing tonight" I hand him his water.
"So you
are a producer?" I am intrigued I start to ignore all my other
customers.
"Yeah for G-Major, ever heard?" Tom is into me I
can tell.
"No sorry only been in Canada for 2 weeks now" His
eyes light up with interest.
"Really well how about after your
shift we go grab something to eat and get to know one another better"
I know I should say no but I can feel myself about to say the
opposite.
"Yeah sure" he nods and leaves to go back to
work.
His artist name is Karma and she sounded good. I met up with him after my shift ended. He stayed around and waited which was cool. He said we could walk to this diner around the block. I knew which one he was talking about because it was next to my apartment. So while we are talking I get this feeling that we are being followed. I turn around and see him. One of the guys that work for him, I grab Tommy and tell him to run. We both take off running as fast as we could. We make it to my apartment. I open the door and literally toss Tommy inside.
Shit now he probably knows where
I live. Tommy is staring at me and I know he is confused.
"What
the hell was that about?" Shit what have I just done. I have
brought him into the middle of all this shit. Should I tell him the
truth or leave him hanging to fend for himself. Either way his life
is in danger.
