Chapter 5
The Fearful truth
XxXxX
Jackson stood up. "Alanta-" He was cut off by her hand. She shook her head. Jackson stood there watching as her face as many emotions played across. "Alanta…I've been doing this job since the incident with dad." He said softly. Jackson moved closer to Alanta.
"Don't please…I…no words…please" She said quietly. The last please falling to a quiet whisper. Jackson went over anyway. "No! Do not touch me. Just leave me alone for awhile please" She said angrily.
"Alanta I am never going to hurt you, I promise" Jackson said putting his hand through his dark brown hair. Alanta looked at him and she shook her head making her brown/blondish curls jump a little. "Alanta, would you truly believe that I would hurt you?"
"Physically? No you wouldn't I can still beat your arse but emotionally? No-one means to hurt another person emotionally unless it's intental." Alanta replied quietly knowing it was and answer that could have no come back.
But its Jackson he can make a come back to anything. "I wouldn't hurt you, not physically, not emotionally, not anything, never in my life would I hurt you, I would never lie to you"
"I think I should sleep, I'm tired…" Alanta said quietly, going to back to her room. "Goodnight Jackie." She said the closed the door behind her with a soft click to follow.
"Goodnight Alanta, talk to you tomorrow" Jackson sat down pinching the bridge of his nose softly. That was definitely not the way he wanted it to go.

Alanta turned to her side watching the wall. Jackson opened the door making some light shine through. Alanta pretended to be asleep to get him to leave. Jackson closed the door behind him softly making it click. Jackson jumped on the bed watching her.
"Mmmmmm…stop it" Alanta moaned. Jackson smiled and got under the covers. She looked at him and then back at the wall.
Jackson rested his elbow up and his head on his hand. "Talk" He ordered. Taking the hair out of her face.
"Sleeping" She said fake snoring.
"Hm, so funny Alanta, its better you found out this way from me or seeing it actually happening or somebody else telling you," Jackson said rubbing her arm softly. Alanta nodded in agreement. It may have been more hurtful if somebody else told her of his professionalism.
"Yeah but I don't like it. It goes against everything we have been taught us." Alanta sat up looking at him. "Mum said that we should never get into that stuff." Jackson nodded.
"I became part of that world once I killed dad though Alanta, there's nothing I can do now." Jackson moved the covers over her legs. Note to self, he thought, never show anyone else this side of me.
"Jackie, you could have stopped being that part of the world if you had come and gotten me.! I would have hurt you for killing dad but then we would've been together for the last 13 years of our lives." Alanta said looking at her hands. Jackson watched her, he knew she was right. He could have stopped all of that.

Lunch time the next day, Alanta sat on the couch with her cell phone to her ear. Laughing away. Jackson had gone out for work.
"No, tell them you're talking to a mate and you can't hang up!" She said sadly. Alanta smiled and clapped lightly. "What have you been doing, since I've been to Miami?" She asked politely to the person on the phone.
Jackson walked through the door with a bag of sushi in his hand. Alanta waved a little, when he said hi and continued to talk.
"Hey, my older brother just got home, I'll come visit you when he brings me back to Miami…" Alanta said. The person said reply. "Ok, well talk to you then, bye Lisa"
Jackson looked at her automatically dropping the sushi on the bench. Alanta looked at him. "Who was that Alanta?" he asked her.
"My friend Lisa, she lives in Miami, she's real cool except that her dad is always bugging us." She laughed a bit.
Jackson nodded. "What's Lisa's last name?" Alanta looked into his eyes. That's when she noticed that he wore a mask that covers all his emotions. Alanta frowned a bit, standing and walking into the kitchen.
"Why do you want to know Jackson?" She asked curiously. Jackson turned round putting the sushi in the fridge. Alanta watched him and jumped onto the bench. "Jackson? Why do you want to know?" She asked again when he didn't reply.
Jackson looked at her. "I'm just looking out for my little sister, is that a crime?" Alanta sighed and shook her head lightly. "Can't lose you again can I?" Jackson said ruffling her hair.
"No, anyway Lisa's last name is Reisert" Alanta said jumping down. Jackson watched her as she walked over to the CD player.

Alanta looked at Jackson the thousandth time. She had already gone out to buy a bottle of coca-cola and he didn't budge. Alanta turned the music back on. She sat on the couch. Singing along with music she played. Alanta looked over at Jackson. All of a sudden she snapped. "Ah! Gezz! Man! Grow some bulls! Move! Ahhhh!" Alanta yelled jumping up and down in front of him.
Jackson watched her while having his eyebrow raised. "Lisa Reisert? Where do I know that name from…" He asked himself silently. Alanta poked his chest.
"Yo, Jakco! What's the problem? Did you like hurt her or do something to Lisa for a job?" She snorted, "as if you would do that" She laughed a bit looking at him. Alantas smiled went dead. "You didn't! As if you couldn't get any lower!" Jackson watched her carefully.
"I am not low. I'm highly respected and do well not to forget that Alanta. You are only 17 years old and I am 24. I am older and you have to respect me. I may be your brother but Alanta, that by no means gives you the right to talk down on me." Jackson said, looking into her eyes to see what was going on inside her head. Alanta glared at him hatefully.
"You are a complete arsehole. You think you can boss me around just because you're older than me and the best crime manager in the under world?! Get your head out of the sky Jackson! Not everything involves you! You can't expect me to actually respect you for the kind of job you have! Lisa is always going to be haunted by your freaky eyes!" Alanta said pointing a finger at him.
Jackson watched her as she took in harsh breaths. "You have the same eyes. Same hair. We look the same, except you look girly. Lisa is a smart woman, she will pick up on it. It is not hard to miss that we are related Alanta." Jackson ran a hand through his hair. Alanta looked at him and then at her hands. She nodded slightly. Alanta knew he was right about Lisa.
Lisa would find out, if she already hasn't.
