Chapter Twelve
Justin awoke on the couch. He sat up, wondering where he was. He saw two men standing near the door, holding shotguns in their hands. He gulped, thinking he was taken prisoner again.
Maverick came out of the office, walking up to the men. He handed them some wads of money. "For your trouble."
"What is this?" Justin asked.
Mav walked over to Justin and sat down next to him. "I see you're awake. We're in an abandoned warehouse, hiding from the cops."
"What happened to Robert?"
"I.killed him. He had joined the Columbian Cartel, and he was having his men torture you. He was also."
"Also what?"
"He was trying to rape Chateau."
"I thank you for killing him." He clenched his fists. "Where is she?"
"On the roof. I hope she hasn't taken off the heads of anyone yet."
Justin leaned back. "Who are they?"
"They are our guards right now, until things calm down."
He rubbed his eyes. "Can I tell you something?"
"What is it?"
"Chateau.she's pregnant."
"With your child?"
"Yes. Do you remember that night? She was in there, with me."
"You're going to be a father!" He patted his back. "Congratulations. It is hard to find true love around here."
"Yeah, yeah."
"We should celebrate. There has to be some wine here or something." He got up.
Justin grabbed his arm. "Don't. Not yet. It's to early."
"You're right."
Chateau came down the stairs. "No pigs around." She saw Justin awake. "Oh, I see you two are busy."
"No, come down here."
She sat down next to Justin. "No, I didn't shoot anyone's heads off."
"What did you shoot?" Mav asked.
"I needed some fun, so I shot some tires. It's actually funny watching the drivers try to get control of the car."
"Yeah, sure."
"How long are we going to stay here?" Justin asked.
"As soon as things calm down. Then we'll send these goods down to Vice City. Yet, they are having problems with the Cartel. I guess as soon things calm down there." He took out his cell, calling Vince.
"Vince? How are things down there? What? What did you do with him?"
"What? What happened?"
Mav covered the phone with his hand. "The Cartel have taken over the apartment."
"What?"
"We need to get down there and help them."
"My father's gang, what are they doing?"
"I don't know." He went back to the phone. "The Silvae have taken the guys away and are hiding.somewhere."
"They took them to the Ocean Heights Apartment. That is where we hid out."
Mav hung up the phone. "One of us is gong have to stay here and protect the goods."
"I volunteer. I'm not going anywhere. But I want some more protection. I'm not going to become a prisoner again. And can we trust them?" Justin said.
"Fine." Mav walked up to the guards. "Can you get some more guys down here? Justin needs protection, and doesn't want to become prisoner again."
"We will." One said, taking out his cell phone.
Chateau patted Justin's hand. "I'll be back as soon as possible." She went into the weaponry closet, and came back out to join Maverick.
They left, going into the garage. Mav uncovered the same banshee as before, and got in, starting it up.
Chateau got in the passenger side, and looked away from the road. She seemed to be disappointed.
