Flash Back 2 months ago

I was walking into the warehouse looking for Reba. She said that she needed me for another fight on Wednesday. I started walking towards the 'office' area, when I noticed that the door was closed. I walked up to the door and was about to knock, when I heard Reba talking to a man. I lean against the door to hear what was being said in the room.

"In a couple of months, I plan to take over Hillwood. Bob Pataki is not going to know what hit him." The man said, sounding like in older gentleman.

"Why do you need Bob?" Reba questioned.

"Because he and his crew stole something from me 17 years old and I want it back."

"Bob is going to come after you hard once he finds out that you are back in town."

"Not if you have his daughter. I don't want her or the two little idiots messing up my plans like they did seven years ago. Good thing me and the Mayor of Hillwood have an understanding. I hide out for a few years like I was in prison and come back with a big bang."

"You're lucky that the Mayor is your wife, or she would have let you rot in prison where you belong." She said the last part in a whisper, like she did not want him to hear it. But it was too late, he did.

"You need to watch who you are talking to. NEVER bring up my wife or my family. You know what with happen to you and yours."

"You're the one who brought her up. If you were smart, you would have never told anyone she is your spouse. She would be an easy target. You are getting weak from being underground for so many years."

It sounds like a table was flipped over and he started to speak. "I said the Mayor, not my wife. Are you threating me? You might be second in charge of this fake Hillwood Mob business. But don't forget who put you here. You can easily be replaced, you and your family."

"Like I care about those two…" She sounds like she was pushed up against the wall with fear.

"I am not talking about your fake family. I am talking about your son and brother. Don't think for a second I don't know that they are here with you in Hillwood. You been trying to hide your son for years, but it will NEVER work." He said threating.

It took her a minute to responded, and she choice to ask a question. "What do you want me to do with Helga?" She changed the subject, why? She is never afraid of anyone, but she sounds scared.

"Get her ready for the ring, make sure that she is in your eyes sight at all times. Within a couple of months Bob will give me anything I want."

"What do you want?"

"My property back and he is the one that is going to give it to me." I heard footsteps coming to the door, so I moved away from the door before he can see me. He opened the door and looked at me. "Someone been easy dropping, you better pick which side you are going to be on." He walked away from me without letting me speak.

Reba came to the door and looked outside to me. "What do you want?"

"The fight next week."

"Come back tomorrow." She closed the door in my face. I stood there for a minute, collecting my thoughts. So Reba is scared of this guy and he wants his property back. But he is also married to the mayor. Well damn. I walked away from the door.

End of flash back

Phoebe and I are on the roof looking up at the moon. I feel at peace having her wrapped up in my arms. After a long night with me killing my best friend, punching out Gerald for being a traitor and us making out. It's been a roll coaster of events tonight. That's when we hear footsteps coming up the stairs. We separate from each other and stand up. The footsteps are getting closer, we looked at the door way and Gerald appears on the roof. He looks at both of us and say, "We need to talk."

I am laying in my bed thinking about me stabbing Arnold in the chest and stomach. It felt so good. I just wanted to keep doing it over and over again. Just to see if more blood could come out of him. He took Helga away from me and he was going to pay for it. But Gerald, that bastard had to step in the way, pull me off of Arnold, and throw me on the ground.

I thought that Gerald was going to be a part of the Mob. He was doing so good reporting to me and Nadine. I did not beat up Timberly, I did not put my hands on her, just for Gerald. I was even going to let her go for him. Gerald would have been happy about that. But no he just had to stop me from killing Arnold. How could he turn his back on me? Why did you choose Arnold over me? It is always about him. My phone started to ring, shutting out my thoughts. I looked at the number and saw that it was Nadine. What does she want? I just talked to her a few minutes ago.

"Nadine, what do you want?"

"We have something that you want." A male voice spoke into the phone.

"Hahaha, Wolfgang it's been a long time. What do I owe this surprise phone call?"

"Meet me tomorrow night at the pier at 11." He hangs up the phone before I could reply back to him. This is going to be interesting, I can't wait.
