We walked into a fancy house, very big. I was supposed to be keeping close to Gabriel. For once I didn't mind that. As many people had their guns casually in their belts. 'Come on sis' he whispered pulling me into a very much crowded room. I looked around as Gabriel pulled me to some people. The walls was painted white and had a soft blue theme around the place. It was quite relaxing, hopefully no blood would be spilt on the carpet. It was so clean!
I was placed in front of a big man that looked like in his 30s. 'Maria may I introduce to you Antonio Mario' Gabriel said smiling at the man. The man smiled reaching for my shoulders. Oh god my life is going to end here, with me being squashed by this man. 'Pleasure to meet you my dear. Your brother doesn't do you justice when he described you' he smiled kissing my cheeks. 'Thank you sir, Mark is not always best describing things. However he is a good business man' I assured.
'Excellent you shall sit by me in the meeting, with your brother of course' he said nodding to Gabriel. 'It would be an honour Sir' Gabriel answered, taking my hand in his. 'I wonder what Jasper would say about all of this' Gabriel smirked. 'Leave Jasper out of this Gabriel' I whispered in his ear. 'Yes dear sister, let us see if there is any wine.'
The meeting started just half an hour after we arrived. Gabriel kept a tight hand on the money that was in my bag. 'Don't let anyone touch it' he kept warning me. Please I wasn't incapable of looking after stuff. 'Tell me that once more and I'll throw you through that window' I threatened. 'I remember my brother as well, they are quite protective and bossy. Are they not?' Antonio remarked. I nodded smiling 'brothers are very protective and most certainly bossy' I agreed.
'Gentlemen and lady' he announced looking at me. I blushed under the intense stares of everyone. 'I would like to announce two more people who will be our financers. Mark and Maria Swaine. They are currently providing the money to help us look for the diamonds' he told them. They nodded accepting that we was apart of them now. Antonio was very powerful then!
'Sir if we could just ask them a few questions it would put some of us at ease' a man stepped forward. He had a bald patch, and from what looks of it not a good dentist. 'Of course Martin, if you don't mind of course' Antonio turned smiling at us. I was suddenly reminded of going into the lion's den. 'Not at all' Gabriel replied nodding his head to ask away.
'How much are you actually giving us?' he asked. I smiled watching as Gabriel stood up. 'Currently we are giving you $1.2 million' Gabriel told them. The room let out gasps, obviously it was a bit too much. 'How do kids like you get hands on money like that?' a man asked at the back. 'Simple our father was a small millionaire, he had 5 million in cash. When he died he was in possession of a very large estate, so we sold that off. Fortunately all the money came down to us' I answered perfectly.
They whispered together for a few seconds. 'Why are you giving it to us?' they asked. I sighed sadly and Gabriel rested a reassuring hand on my shoulder. 'When we were children father let us live a very sheltered life shall we say' Gabriel said. 'We was never let out to play, we didn't go to theme parks. There was no adventure in our lives at all' I sighed shaking my head, wiping away a few tears. 'It must have been a very difficult life for you' Antonio stated sadly. We nodded 'we never experienced the world' Gabriel told them.
'Enough with the questions' Antonio ordered sitting down beside me. They discussed where it would be the ideas getting stupider each time. No nobody would hide diamonds in Burger King. I sighed they had about as much ideas as we discussed that the money would pay for detectives to investigate. Also to pay the spies who worked for Red Snake. I shook my head this was pointless. We had nothing to go on now.
'I'm going to give the money to Antonio don't get into trouble' Gabriel warned. I nodded rolling my eyes at him. I wondered around the crowded halls. 'Hello little miss' a voice behind me whispered. I shuddered and turned around. A man aged around 25 was looking me over. Thank god Emmett isn't here! 'Hello' I greeted smiling before making to walk off.
I was grabbed by him and pulled. I stumbled scratching my arm on a door handle. 'Hey what the fuck do you think you're doing?' I asked trying to get him off. 'I was talking to you' he hissed tightening his grip. I went to kick his legs, but the bastard tangled his in mine. I couldn't get out, he had locked both my legs and had my arm. 'Let me go' I ordered tugging helplessly.
'What I never had a rich daddy's girl' he smiled ruthlessly. 'And you never will' a hard voice seethed behind me. I was pushed away by the man and I hit my head on the table. I tried to steady myself but Gabriel only gave me enough time to get up. Someones knife slashed my arm and I cried out in pain.
'WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?' Antonio yelled barging his way through. I looked at my arm, it was very deep, likely to leave a scar. 'This jerk was trying to hit on my sister. Most likely trying to rape her' Gabriel told him. 'Is this true Steve?' he asked, 'no she wanted it just as much as me.' I tugged on Gabriel my vision going blurry. 'I think it's time we leave' he said picking me up. 'Don't go Mark I'm sure it was a misunderstanding' Antonio protested. He shrugged 'I'll talk with you soon' he finalised.
'Gabriel it's getting hard to see' I told him. 'I know Bella' he shouted speeding to somewhere. I saw him turn into the drive way. 'Go to the fucking hospital' I gasped as he took me out the car. He banged on the door, my vision was going darker. 'Gabriel' I screamed as he passed me over to someone.
'Hello I'm a doctor tell me where it hurts' he instructed. I raised my hand to my bleeding head. It looked like I was bleeding in two places, the one from last time and tonight. 'She's loosing too much blood' someone gasped. I shook my head and I saw a face in front of me before I collapsed. Jasper. Great I had gone to heaven!
