Chapter 10
"You scream you will die. You reach for your guns and you will die." Says the person watching Sora carefully.
"Who are you after?" asks Bobby as he grabs Sora's wrist and pulls her to him slowly.
The person takes off their mask to reveal a girl who looks a lot like Li but with black hair. "No one. I was sent by the elders."
"Who are you?" asks Sora softly as she studies the girl.
She girl shakes her head, "Never mind who I am. Where is your father?"
Suddenly as if on cue the bedroom door breaks open and in storms Li and Sakura with their guns. The girl smiles and puts her gun down. Li looks at the girl and drops his gun; Sakura does the same thing.
"Hello uncle Li."
"Oh my god. What are you doing here?" asks Sakura as she stares at the girl.
"My parents sent me to become a Black Heart. I assure you no trickery. They went through the elders first and I was finally sent here."
"Um dad why did she call you uncle?" asks Sora as she wraps Bobby's arms around her.
"This is your cousin, my niece. Her mother was banned from the gang. My older sister Fóo did some bad things."
Nick comes running into the room and sees the girl standing there, "I know you." He yells.
"How do you know her?" snaps Li as he looks at Nick.
"She was at the party the other night. She was racing."
"You noticed me. Good to see." She says but she turns to Li, "Look mom and dad sent me here to continue with family tradition. They didn't send me to snoop or kill. My name is Lux, daughter of Fóo and Aaron."
"We will see." Says Li as he grabs Lux's right wrist and pulls her out of the room.
Sakura looks at Bobby and Sora, "I talked to him and Bobby is in. He doesn't have to fight. Your father is happy that he gave you and Nick a place to sleep to hide from the cops. He really does like you Bobby, he just doesn't show it."
Nick runs back in the room, no one had seen him leave. He walks up to Sakura and whispers in her ear, "Lexus is gone. She packed her favorite clothes and she is gone."
"Come with me." Says Sakura as she leaves with Nick at her side.
"Ok, I am officially freaked out now." Says Bobby. "Your dad likes me and it looks like he hates me, I think a girl is trying to kill me or you but she's really here to train."
"Your not the only one freaked out. I never knew I had any cousins. Dad told me he had sisters but never was the name Fóo mentioned." Says Sora softly as she turns and looks from Bobby to the window, "You need a new window. You can't sleep in here tonight."
"I doubt your dad would be happy to find you having a slumber party in your room. I can sleep here no problem. It's a nice night out, no breeze or nothing."
As Bobby finishes Eli and Madison walk into the room and they both see the window. Madison walks up to Sora and Bobby as Eli walks over to the window.
"Bobby you will sleep in Nicks room tonight. He won't be back, he has to check something out for us." Says Madison as she smiles sweetly and holds up a key for Bobby.
"Where did Nick go?" asks Sora.
"Don't worry about him. It's just a little thing we asked him to look after. He will be back in the morning. Tomorrow is Saturday and Bobby will be getting his tattoo in the late morning." Says Eli as he walks over to Madison and smiles.
"Which tattoo?" asks Sora as she stands off the bed and crosses her arms across her chest and cocks her head to the right.
"Yours. Li wants him to travel with you and Nick from now on."
"And Lexus, you forgot Lexus." Says Sora as she wonders why they left her out.
"That you should talk to your mother about." Says Madison as she and Eli leave the room.
Sora stands there with Bobby kneeling on the bed behind her and he wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on her shoulder.
"You know Sora, I think your trio is splitting up."
Sora nods and sighs.
