A/N: Not the chapter that was promised but I'm having a hard time writing the Quatermaines but hopefully you all like this chapter. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
Anna was heading to the penthouse , it was nearly 5:30 and she figured she would make it there just before 6, as she walked she realized that a man was following her, she had seen him last night to after leaving Johnny's, she continued and so did the man. Taking a deep breath she quickened her steps, typing out a text and turn the corner quickly and moved back against the wall the man came around the corner and she got a better look at him, he was tall, over six feet, well built with light brown hair, he stopped and cursed looking around, before his eyes found her pressed to the brick, she gripped her phone and hit send.
RECIPIENT: JOHNNY ZACCHARA
ELM ST HELP
Anna stared back for a good minute and swallowed hard. "Are….are you following me?" She managed to asked, her speech stammered.
"Shit." The man grumbled and took a step toward her.
She looked back to the man and pushed herself further into the wall. "Stop, don't come any closer."
Surprisingly the man did stop. "Anna, I'm not here to harm you." He held his hands up in a gesture of surrender.
"How do you know my name." She snapped out as she heard rapid foot falls in the distance.
"I'm a friend of." What ever the man was about to say was but off by Johnny Zacchara entering her vision and a gun, a fucking gun, being pointed at the man.
"Back the fuck away from her." Johnny's tone was unlike any she had heard from him before, it was cold and dark and held barely controlled rage.
The man didn't flinch or over. "Zacchara, I'm just following orders." He stated calmly.
"Orders?" Anna asked, what orders?
Johnny lowered the gun and tucked it in the waistband of his jeans before moving to stand beside Anna. "Part of your orders to scare the shit out of his daughter?"
"What orders!" She all but yelled.
"Not my job to scare her." He told Johnny then turned to Anna. "I am to follow you, for your safety."
Anna's jaw dropped, Jason was having her followed and Johnny seemed to know about it. "You knew." She said accusingly to him.
Fuck, he knew Jason should have told her, hell he probably should have. "I didn't forget to make a call last night, Jason texted me, he knew you were at my place, I assumed, correctly, that he had someone watching you." Johnny stared down the guard. "Although, I also assumed they were competent, which doesn't seem to be the case."
"Zacchara, mind your own. Miss Lenux, I am sorry if I scared you, I truly I didn't mean any harm but you do need to get going."
"I'll walk her, you're no longer needed." The darker haired man bit out, no fucking way this incompetent, idiot was going to be the one watching her six.
"Not your call." The man said taking a step closer.
"Trust me, I know but seeing as you can't do your fucking job, I'm making it mine."
Anna looked between the men, the testosterone and posturing made her roll her eyes. "I'm standing right here and I can walk myself." "No!" Both men barked at the same time. "Not a fucking child, what is so hard to comprehend about that!" She snapped out, what the hell was this alpha male bull shit.
Johnny closed his eyes and took a breath before he said some harsh shit he would regret. "It's not that you're a child, being connect to Jason….to me makes you a walking fucking target."
Connected to him, he said it not her but he wasn't wrong in the short time she had been in town Jason and Johnny were her biggest connections and if the papers were to be believed she could understand but what made her knowing Johnny a target.
"Just let me walk you, this idiot won't have a job by tomorrow, please." He would make sure the fucker wasn't the one watching her.
The other man looked ready to strangle Johnny. " I can take her."
She thought for a moment before nodding to Johnny. "I'm going with Johnny, follow if you want, it your job after all." With that she lopped her arm through Johnny's and half pulled the man along.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I figured it was up to Jason." Johnny told her after a minute.
Anna scoffed. "Yeah, why would I need to know that some random guy was following me."
He couldn't disagree with that, what the fuck was this woman doing to him, he was second guessing every decision he was making in regards to her. "I should have told you."
"Why am I a target for knowing you and why do you have a gun?" The questions came out rushed.
Johnny stopped bringing her to a stop beside him and her turned to her. "Let's just say your father and I are in the same line of work."
"Oh." Was the only thing to come out of her mouth, same line if work, he was a monster, though this did explain a few things, his apartment, the way that her father and Johnny seem to almost hate each other and the gun. What the hell had her life become over the past week, this was all bat shit crazy.
"Anna?" Johnny asked his brow scrunched and a look of worry, she wouldn't be the first person to be afraid of this life. Anna shock herself out of her thoughts,.
"I'm going to be late." She said before beginning to walk again. He followed feeling disappointed, maybe, he couldn't place the feeling, she had talked about shades of grey but maybe it was all talk. They reached the building a Anna didn't expect him to ride up with her but he followed her in and was on the elevator with her.
