Chapter 5

Robin hated the summer months. Her apartment was not air-conditioned. She decided she would go to the library. She looked over to see if her brother was awake yet. She looked into his room and found that he never came home. She immediately started to get worried. She started calling all of his friends to see if they have seen him. Robin called all the local hospitals to see if anyone with her brother's description was a patient. It has been nearly 2 hours when she received a call from Michael.

"Michael, my brother is missing" she started to cry over the phone.

Michael remained silent, he waited for second.

"Robin, listen to me, I heard your brother had borrowed a huge amount of money from this small time shark named John Soo and I think he didn't have the money to pay him back"

"Oh my god" "I'll talk to you later"

She couldn't believe that her brother did this. She pulled out the card Amon had given her, she was debating in calling him, but she had no choice. She had to save her brother. The worst thing that can happen is he offers her another proposal to sleep with him. She would prefer Amon than some other mafia boss.

Amon's phone rang and he looked at the caller id. He arched his eyebrow when he saw the name.

"Yes," He answered

"Amon, It's Robin, I'm calling because you told me I can call you if I needed help"

Amon grew concerned "Are you okay? Give me a couple of minutes I will be over."

Amon arrived after 10 minutes. She let him in. She felt a little embarrassed on the condition her apartment.

"Robin what's wrong?" He noticed Robin looked like she had been crying for quite sometime.

She hesitated because her stupid pride prevented her from begging for his help.

"My brother has been kidnapped by this guy named John Soo. He apparently owed money to him and I guess he couldn't pay his debt."

Amon was about to tell her that she was better off with her brother dead but he controlled himself. He promised Robin he would help her regardless on how he felt for the bastard brother of hers. Amon pulled out his cell phone and started talking to someone. Robin only caught bits and pieces. However, she heard Amon telling someone to pay the 10,000.

"He is a little bit beaten up but one of my men is picking him up right now and they should be here in 30 minutes"

"I better get going I don't to be here when your brother gets home" He turned to leave but Robin stopped him.

"That's it, you're not going to ask me to pay" She questioned him

"No, I told you there would be no strings attach to any favor I do for you"

Robin went over to him; she gently kissed him on his mouth. Amon didn't expect it.

"Thanks Amon"

"Your very welcome" "See you at the restaurant Friday"

Robin looked over her brother for the next two days. She took care him like a nurse. She didn't scold him or reprimanded him. In the back of her mind, she was going to give him an ultimatum.

Friday came. She waited for Amon to come and eat. It was nearing time for her shift to be over and he hasn't shown up. Michael came over to ask her if she wanted to go to the nightclub. She turned him down and told him that she will go home to get some rest.

She was heading towards her car when some one beeps her. A black Mercedes beeped a horn at her. Amon stepped out of the car. He had on casual attire, he wore a pair jeans and a black t-shirt. His black just hanging loose around his face. His usual cold look masking his true feelings.

"Is your shift is over? I lost track of time" He told her

Robin was going to pretend that she forgot he suppose to come to the restaurant.

"I get out by 11:30" she told him

"Are you doing anything right now" Amon asked her

"No, just going home" Robin told him

"I have to go check out a couple clubs I'm thinking of buying, you want to come along"

"Um, I guess"

Robin went in his car and he went to one of the clubs she sometime sneaked into with Michael. She hoped that she didn't run into him. It was a popular nightclub and the line showed it. Amon parked his car in front and someone valet the car. Robin was looking around when she saw Annie, a waitress she worked with. Amon grabbed her hand and led her upstairs in a VIP lounge. They sat down. They had a good view of the club from where they were.

"I hate the nightclub scene but it is a lucrative business to have" he told her

Robin was scanning the club when she saw Michael in a corner with the blonde that she had seen hanging around the bar when he worked. Robin's heart dropped. She saw Michael's hand on her thighs and was in a deep embrace. Robin's face grew pale. She wasn't mad, just surprised. After all, here she was with Amon. Michael wasn't her boyfriend. She had no right to be mad. Maybe it's better that he saw other girls since he wasn't getting any physical action from her.

"Robin, are you ok?"

Amon looked at the direction of her eyes.

"Is that your boyfriend?" Amon asked curiously

"Doesn't he work in one of my club and also at the restaurant"

Robin nodded "He just a guy that takes me out once in a while"

"Do you like him?" Amon asked jealously

Robin looked up at Amon surprised

"I like him enough to spend time with" She spat back at him

Amon rolled his eyes. Here we go again he thought

"He is not good enough for you" Amon told her

"And who is? Tell me?" She came closer to him

Amon ignored her question and switched the subject

"Do you like the atmosphere of this club?"

Robin nodded; she was still somewhat disturbed that Michael's face was still plastered to the girl

"Robin, he is just using that girl for sex, guys think with the head between the legs"

"I know" she looked at him accusingly

"Robin, can you tone down the attitude... please, we will enjoy each others company much better"

Down on the floor her brother Antonio saw Amon and Robin together. It's been a week since Amon had bailed him out of his debt. He wondered what Robin had to do in exchange since she wasn't upset, as she was the first time. Maybe little Robin also likes Mr. Masawi. He hoped to GOD that Amon would at least take Robin as one of his mistresses.

"Amon, Can we go? I know too many people here"

She looked towards her brother. She didn't feel like being around him and his stupid friends.

"Ok, let's go, we can leave through the back" "Let me call someone to get my car" Amon and her descended backstairs.

They hopped into his car. They proceeded to two more clubs. Robin was tired and when she got into Amon's car, she fell asleep on the ride back to the restaurant. She woke up after she felt the car stop. When she opened her eyes, she noticed they were at Amon's house.

"I thought you were going to take me back to my car" she looked at him cautiously

"I didn't say that, besides you fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you"

"Robin, I not going to try anything...unless...ofcourse you want me to" He gave her an amused look

Robin stepped out the car. She didn't answer him. She followed him into the house. He turned on the lights and they went into his entertainment room. Robin looked over his dvd collection and pulled a movie out.

"I always wanted to see this movie" "Can we watch"

Amon nodded "Not what I had in mind but I guess."

"Look Mr. Masawi, you're not getting lucky tonight" She warned him

She put the movie in. Amon's TV was huge. It was like a movie theater screen. He gave her some wine to sip on. Amon sat close to her. The movie was The Lord of the Rings, first movie. Robin's eyes started closing and she fell asleep.
