Ace of Spades
Chapter 29 – Shut Up Raptor!
Shadow's POV
"Ughh...? What!? Where am I?"
Looking down about to fall asleep I saw Raptor looking around. As he began to look towards me we locked eyes.
"Shadow?" He questioned.
"Sharpe." I stated as he nodded remembering before.
"Why the fuck did you hit me?" He asked in a headache.
"I had to hide you." I stated as he gave me a confused look while sitting up.
"What are you talking about? Where are we?" He asked as I replied.
"Your still at the same place just in my room. I need you to listen ok?"
"What are you doing here with these guys bro?" Asked Raptor as I replied.
"It's my business but I need to get you somewhere safe."
"Everyone thinks your dead dude."
"I know that now. Alicia text you a bit ago."
"What she want?" Asked Raptor as I replied.
"She wanted to know where you were. I told her you were out getting something for her."
"What?" Asked Raptor as he checked his phone.
"Going around my neck I pulled up my necklace I got from Maria back when I was little."
"This." I stated as I handed it to Raptor who shook his head.
"No bro, I'm not giving her that."
"Raptor this is your one and only chance to avoid this. Take it and go back to home before something bad happens."
"Like what?" Asked Raptor.
"You could get killed." I stated as he widened his eyes.
"What the fuck is going on?!" He asked as I replied.
"I'm doing my job!"
"What job!?" Asked Raptor as I went silent.
"What job!?" Asked Raptor again as I sat up.
"You don't know me." I stated as Raptor went silent.
"No one does Raptor. Why else am I the way I am to everyone. Quiet? Alone? Unwilling to start a relationship? It's because of what I am at heart. A killer. An assassin."
"What?" Questioned Raptor as I explained.
"For the past four years Raptor I have been someone you never knew. I have been killing people."
Widening his eyes he grabbed my hand.
"Even now I am trying to kill someone."
"Who?" Asked Raptor as I looked away.
"The leader of this gang. I'm undercover trying to get to him. I need to kill him and stop the flow of weed in this sector of the city."
"For who? The cops?!" Questioned Raptor as I ordered.
"Get out of here now!"
"Wait Shadow I...!"
"Get out now before you get hurt!"
"I'm not going anywhere without you and you know that!" Stated Raptor as I replied.
"Your asking for more then you know!"
"I don't care! Your my best friend Shadow and I will not let you do this alone!"
In anger I pulled out my M9.
Shoving it in his lap I ordered.
"Then gear up and get ready to fight!"
Staring at the gun Raptor replied.
"But...!"
"But nothing! You want me to come back soon then I guess you need to stick by your word and help!"
Raptor stared at the gun as I shouted.
"You want to know who I am!?"
Looking up into my eyes I continued.
"You want to know who I work for!?"
Raptor nodded as I replied.
"Then nut up and find out for yourself or fucking leave!"
Raptor just stared at me as stared at him.
