"A damn bust! All that for a simple damn asteroid rock!" I shout, looking at the rock inside the gold case in front of me on the desk.
We got the target last night, no hiccups, no incidents, Johnny was really surprised by how easy it was, but I told him that with all the hacking I had done, no-one suspected a thing was amiss, fake photos hiding the CCTV, and getting everyone in and out without a scratch.
"Told you it was too good to be true, a diamond as rare as what those geniuses said, thing doesn't even shine" says Johnny, I glare at him for this, then look back at the ugly rock,
"Look Angel, just because the thing is only a half bust wont make the men think less of you, hell they are lining up wanting you to help them with their next jobs. They saw what you could do, you were calm, collected, knew what you were doing there. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Least you got some expensive gold, that will at the very least buy a big house for yourself" he says, I smile gently at that, that much is true, but that's not what I agreed with,
"Or a bar" I say, slowly looking up towards him seeing him looking at me confused,
"Johnny I told you that this would get this whole block. While this might not get that for us, what do you say we buy this place and next door, turn this place into the club of your dreams," I say, seeing him frown in disbelief,
"Your pulling my leg" he says, I smile at then get hold of the two halves of the golden block, with the stone in one of the halves, getting up and walking over to his desk.
"Lets get this place the talk of the town," I say smiling at him, he starts to grin at this,
"There will never be a moment where I regret standing up for you" he says, I smile at him for this.
I place the block down on his desk, looking now at the black rock itself,
"So how much does asteroid rock go for these days?" I ask, now taking hold of the rock, looking to Johnny in question. But suddenly…I'm screaming, but I can't hear it, only feel it. My eyes widening in pain, my posture frozen where I'm stood but know that I am slightly shaking,
"Angel? Angel what's wrong?" he asks, looking at me confused then worried, but only a few seconds after he asks this I'm thrown backwards across the room by an unknown force, my back hitting the brick wall, but the pain I receive from that is nothing compared to the pain I feel, it starting in the hand I am using to hold the rock and shooting up my arm and into my neck to my brain, I feel like I've got fire running in my veins,
"Angel! Rick get up here and bring doc!" I hear Johnny shout, how I can hear and understand what he is saying I will never know, especially from this unimaginable pain! I don't know where I am, I don't know anything but the pain.
"Help her down! Get her down, we need to help her!" I hear them shout, but that fire from before seems to be going throughout my entire body, I feel like I've been tied to the stake and set aflame, it seems to engulf me completely taking me completely, making me go through so much pain that I can hardly breath…
And it stops.
My eyes wide open but not looking at anyone, but the feeling of being able to breath, my mouth as dry as the desert, as if I had been screaming for hours and just exhaled finally.
"Angel? Angel!"
My eyes suddenly focus and look to where the voice belongs to, seeing Johnny in front of me, Rick and some others with him, looking down at me, I turn my head now realising that I'm lying on the wooden flooring of the office area.
"Angel? Sweetheart look at me? Can you hear me?"
I finally look back up to Johnny, slowly nodding, seeing them all sigh and gently he and Rick take my arms and help me sit up slowly,
"What happened girl? What the hell was that?" Johnny asks, the worry and panic still in his eyes, I feel so odd, like I've been put in another body, and still adjusting, I try to say something but my mouth is too dry causing me to cough, my eyes search for the water dispenser not far from my desk, as soon as my eyes land on it, I reach my arm out for it, unable to do much else, knowing they will know what I am after from looking where I am reaching for but I don't have the strength to move, I only just have the strength to hold my arm up,
"Get her some water" one of them says, I'm thankful they understand what I am after, my eyes watching as one of the men Dylan I think his name is goes over to the dispenser get a cup and starting to fill it up, but my desperation is getting higher, like a child I reach for the cup as if it will come to me when I plead, but suddenly a feeling like a small shot of lightening goes up my arm to my hand and seeing with my own eyes the cup coming to me, going into my outstretched hand, I stare at it, startled did I do that.
"Well shit, did you guys see what I just saw?" asks Rick, I look to them seeing them looking at me with shock in their faces, if they think they're shocked they'd have a run for their money with how I feel.
Cautiously I sip the water, feels like heaven down my throat, it takes a couple of mouthfuls before I can eventually talk without the pain in my throat,
"What happened?" I ask, carefully putting the cup down beside me on the floor, the guys crouched in front of me or sitting down around,
"As soon as you picked up that rock your body practically froze solid, when I saw that look in your eye I knew something was wrong but then your body went across the room and hit the wall, you were trying to scream but nothing came out, we tried to get you down but it was like this force kept us away, couldn't see anything but just felt like a barrier or something was around you, then suddenly you dropped to the floor" says Johnny,
"Now care to explain how you were able to bring that cup from over there all the way into your hand?" asks Rick, I look to him then to my hand, my eye glancing to the cup beside me almost warily,
"I don't know, I just knew I really needed the water and suddenly I felt this shock – like an electric shock you get from static and then without warning the cup was coming into my hand," I say, carefully getting up, half way finding that I don't feel as drowsy anymore, in fact I feel no pain at all, like something has settled within me.
"Do you feel anything now at all? Any pain?" asks Rick, I look to him but shake my head no,
"I feel as fine as I was before when I was talking to you Johnny just now" I say, stretching my fingers slightly,
"Try it again, see if you can control it" says Johnny, I look towards his desk and look at the gold blocks, I only have to concentrate of them coming over to me and they are doing! Thankful of my reflexes on catching them easily enough,
"Hey guys," I say, looking down at the gold blocks, a lot of ideas coming to mind,
"I think this is going to come in a lot of handy," I say, a smile coming and turning into a smirk, seeing them nod in agreement with grins on their faces
