IN THE MAKING
Chapter 13:
Defence
A.N. I'm sorry again! Back into the plot we go, even if it is only for a short while. For the rest of this story pretty much, the chapters will be short; just warning you now. If you don't like short chapters, stop reading this story. Okay, just kidding, don't stop reading please.
On another note, I have finished writing this on paper, I just have to type and post it!
Fuming slightly, Sonya managed to remain silent until she got home. After the front door closed, however, a long string of curse words (mainly directed at her classmates) escaped under her breath.
"Sonya, can you come here for a second?" Mello called. The redhead quietly walked into the living room and sat down on the couch next to Matt.
She could tell the two were on edge about something, the tension looming above them made that much obvious.
"Dad, Papa, what's going on?" Sonya asked nervously. When something was making Matt and Mello tense, she knew that it was very, very, very bad.
"You remember that conversation Matt and I were having when you got back from that camping trip in July, right?" Mello asked. Sonya nodded.
"Well you already know about the mafia thing, so I'm not going to explain that, but what's going on right now is connected," Mello explained. "While I was with them, I had a minor problem with drinking and drugs. Normally when you stop being able to pay for that stuff, you just get cut off. The boss I was under -went by Rod Ross- liked me though. He made a tab and kept adding my stuff onto it for me to pay back whenever I had the extra money. By the time the Japanese Task Force ambushed the base, I owed him around 10k. I thought he was dead, so I just left. Two things wrong with that though. One; I shouldn't be allowed to leave the mafia in the first place, and two; I never paid back my debt. It turns out that Rod and a couple other guys managed to survive, and they tracked me down."
"You're not leaving, are you Papa?" Sonya asked worriedly.
"No one's going anywhere, Sonya," Matt replied. "We just wanted to make sure you know what's going on so that you know not to let your guard down; we can't put it past those guys to kidnap you and hold you hostage until Mello and I can scrape up enough money to pay them back."
Sonya nodded. "I promise that as long as those guys are still alive and the debt has not been paid back, I will not let my guard down at any time."
"Take this with you whenever you leave the house, but don't let anyone know you have it," Mello said, handing a small box to Sonya. She opened it, revealing a brand new silver pocket knife with a pale purple leather case.
"Thanks Papa," Sonya said. "I take it this is also an early birthday present?"
"From me, yes," Mello replied. "Matt didn't agree with giving you a knife for your birthday, so he got you something else."
"Now get going Sonya," Matt said. "Don't you have to study?"
A.N. Yes, a pocket knife is the BEST thing to give a teenager for their birthday, Mello. Anyway, Favourite, Follow, and Review! See you next chapter!
