Hey everybody!
Sorry this took so long, I don't know but finding inspiration for this was hard!
Slight violence warning again.
The dim light of day shone through into Chloe's 'cell' causing Chloe's eyes to flutter open. The pain on the side of her face was hefty as she tried to lift her head. She traced her fingers over her jaw wincing slightly, Chloe groaned and forced her eyes shut, but something was niggling at her. What happened last night? Chloe thought to herself, she had a funny feeling something bad happened.
Then it hit her, her eyes flew open as she bottled upright from her bed. The conversation with Beca filtered through her mind causing her to cringe. Why did I agree to help a mob leader, am I insane? She thought the blow to the side of my head must have caused me brain damage. Chloe began to panic, how could she help a mob? Her mother would kill her if she knew what her daughter was doing.
But Chloe couldn't help but feel slightly excited at the thought of what was going to happen, but she pushed the thought to the back of her mind. Agreeing to help a mob is basically a one way ticket to jail, or worse a death sentence, but Chloe tried to keep her focus on getting revenge.
Footsteps alerted her from her thoughts, Stacie came into view with a creepy smirk on her face, Chloe shivered.
"So Red are you coming to join the party?" Stacie asked, Chloe looked at her confused. "Wow CR must have hit you harder than I thought"
"I'm sorry?" Chloe asked confused.
"You know coming over to the dark side, becoming a member of Umbridge's inquisitorial squad" Stacie said flicking her wrist, "Although Beca's isn't like Umbridge, pink isn't really Beca's colour."
"Erm what?"
"What Stacie means to say is" Jesse entered carrying a package of sorts, "its initiation day"
"Yeah time to see if you're big and strong enough to join us on our quest to find your stupid boyfriend," Stacie added winking.
"Wow, who asked the 19th Century geek to arrive?" Jesse asked, "Who the fuck says quest?"
"Actually it's mainly used in medieval romances, like knights going on an expedition. So it's not the 19th Century it's the Middle Ages, Britain," Stacie said matter-of-factly. "If you're going to insult me at least get the facts right."
"Wow you really are a nerd" Jesse said, Chloe sat with her mouth slightly ajar to Stacie's bout of knowledge.
"Whatever, just because I have amazing tits it doesn't mean I don't have a brain" Stacie said grabbing on to her breasts for effect.
"I didn't say that" Jesse said holding his hands up, "Any way back to our quest" Jesse sniggered as Stacie rolled her eyes.
Chloe's heart thumped, a lump formed in her throat. She was panicking it was all happening to quickly, Stacie started to unlock the cell door. Chloe could feel the sweat start to form on her forehead, she wanted to run away.
"Oh today is going to be so much fun!" Stacie squeaked as she entered Chloe's cell pulling the redhead from the bed. "I remember my initiation like it was yesterday."
"What happened?" Chloe asked her voice feeble,
"Well it was a choice between me and this other girl," Stacie began. "We were forced to play Russian roulette, and obviously I came out the winner" Stacie said calmly messing about with Chloe's hair. "After the game it was my job to hide to other girls body, still to this day no one's found her," Stacie said smiling, Chloe shivered away from Stacie. Chloe was not cut out for this shit.
"I was beaten to a pulp" Jesse said taking out clothes from the package,
"Apparently it was meant to toughen him up" Stacie said as she guided Chloe to Jesse. "I don't think it worked"
"Fuck off!" Jesse said annoyed. "You need some new clothes"
"And a shower" Stacie said, "No offence but you smell like shit"
"Oh" Chloe blushed.
"Wow you guys are cruel" A voice bellowed through the cell. The small brunette walked casually into view supporting a smirk. "Have they scared you enough yet?"
"We've done no such thing" Stacie defended.
"Stace, I could hear you, that was terrifying" Beca said shaking her head, "Are you ready for this?"
"Yes" Chloe tried to sound convincing but the look on Beca's face said otherwise, her smirk grew and her eye's intensified.
"Good, because you can't back out now" Beca said icily, Chloe shuddered, she could feel vomit rising in her throat. "Get cleaned up, I'll meet you outside with what you have to do"
Beca turned on her heal and marched out, Chloe exhaled loudly which made Jesse chuckle, and she could feel the ties around her wrists being cut. Once she was realised her hands went to rub her wrists. Finally she felt a little bit of freedom. Jesse and Stacie guided her to another part of the building where a single shower was stood.
Giving her a towel the pair waited outside for her to return, the warm water was refreshing to Chloe, it soothed her aches for a while before she heard banging on the door. Drying herself off she noticed a change of clothes was left for her.
Once she was dressed, Chloe composed herself before she opened the door. The pair were stood chatting as Chloe entered to room.
"Come on then," Stacie said throwing an arm over Chloe's shoulders, "Let's get this over with"
The three walked through the warehouse in silence, Chloe could hear her heart in her ears as she walked, her palms were clammy and her legs were turning to jelly. Jesse unlocked the main door, sunlight burning Chloe's eyes as they stepped through the door. Beca was stood leaning against a flash looking car smoking.
"Get the car guys, I need to speak to Chloe" Beca said stamping out her cigarette.
"Are you sure" Jesse began but the glare Beca gave him made him jump back and scarper away.
"You too Stace" Beca said, Stacie nodded and followed Jesse around the building.
Beca looked at Chloe, her stormy eyes softened and a genuine mile crept upon her face. Chloe couldn't quite work out why Beca made her feel so at ease when it was just her and Beca. She could feel the worries drift away as she smiled back at Beca.
"You don't need to look so scared dude" Beca said softly, "These guys are going to be jealous at how easy you have it"
"Why?" Chloe said looking away, Beca giggled slightly.
"Just trust me, you will be fine I have no doubt" This relaxed Chloe, if Beca thought she would be able to go through with her plans then Chloe had no fear. Almost.
"What do I have to do?" Chloe asked.
"Okay, all you have to do is get my money from Luke" Beca said clapping her hands together, "Luke is a total idiot but he does his job, even if he is always late in giving me back my money. All you have to do is go to his hideout, ask for the money he will probably make a scene at first but that's because he like to think he's on Broadway. But just get the money and leave. Simple?" Chloe nodded, "Oh and take this" Beca pulled out a small gun, Chloe gasped she has never used a gun before. "Calm down it's just for protection, you won't need it"
"Boss we're ready" Jesse called from another car, Beca smiled at Chloe once more. Chloe exhaled and smiled back as she took the gun, squirming as the metal slipped into her hand.
"Hide it" Beca whispered, Chloe tucked the gun in t the waistband of her jeans, "Good luck" Beca stood out of the way, Chloe nodded an walked over to Jesse, her legs slightly wobbling.
"Come on red" Stacie called from the driver's side, Chloe reluctantly opened the door and slid into the back. Stacie sped off with the radio thumping.
"So where are we taking you?" Jesse asked,
"Erm to Luke's" Chloe said trying to calm her nerves,
"I fucking knew it" Stacie shouted, Chloe jumped, "You have it so easy!" Stacie said laughing. "You'll be fine Red don't panic"
Chloe nodded but fixed her gaze out of the window. The journey wasn't too long, Chloe noticed that they were entering the rougher part of town. Stacie drove through a few streets before she pulled up alongside a shabby looking building.
"Okay, so this is Luke's" Stacie said pointing to the building, "He'll be alone because he has no friends"
"Oh" Chloe could hear the bitterness on Stacie's tongue.
"I'll be waiting outside, Jesse will go in with you." Stacie said looking to Chloe, "You'll be fine" She said with a reassuring smile.
"Come on" Jesse said getting out of the car.
Chloe braced herself as she left the car, the crisp air sent shivers down her spine. She followed Jesse up the path to the house, Jesse paused and turned to her.
"Luke will probably ask who you are, just say I work for BM and she wants her money back" Jesse took another step before turning around. "He won't believe you and he'll probably ask for her real name, just give it to him because he won't get the money if he doesn't think you work for her."
"Okay"
"Make sure you get the money" Jesse warned as he turned the door handle, "I'll wait down here"
Jesse stepped to the side to let Chloe in, the house was dark and dingy. The wall paper hung off the walls and the stench was revolting, Jesse pointed upstairs and gave Chloe a nod. Inhaling deeply Chloe began to walk up the stairs.
Chloe could hear the sound of a faint TV as she reached the top of the stairs, peering through a doorframe she noticed a skinny man sat behind a table glancing at the TV. Chloe straightened up and marched towards him.
"Whoa!" The guy Chloe presumed was Luke called out, the shock of Chloe entering nearly knocked him off his chair. "Who the fuck are you!?"
"I'm here for BM's money" Chloe said seriously as she narrowed her eyes at Luke. The man looked barely older the 21, his eyes were shrunken and his clothes hung from his body.
"Oh yeah, why should I give it to you?" He said as he brought a cigarette paper to his lips.
"I work for her"
"Oh yeah ginger and I'm the queen" He mumbled smirking, "Where's the proof?"
"You know, Beca doesn't want to be left waiting" Chloe said leaning down slightly, "I think you should get the money" Luke's eyes flashed with fear slightly, he sighed and stood up.
"Okay I don't have it" Luke said raising his arms
"Why don't you have it" Chloe said panic arose with in her, she couldn't leave here without the money. Luke took a step forward. "What are you doing?"
"Look I don't have –" Luke began as he took another step forward, his eyes were determined which spiked fear within Chloe, her hand twitched towards the gun.
"Don't come any closer" Chloe warned. But look took another step forward, his arms raised towards Chloe. "I said don't come any closer!"
BANG
"MOTHERFUCKER!" Luke screamed out in pain as he crumbled to the floor, Chloe stood shocked and afraid as she watched him writhe in agony. Chloe couldn't believe what she had done, she was meant to pull the gun out to warn him away, not shoot him!
"Shit I'm sorry" Chloe called her body too in shock to move.
"What the fuck was that?" Jesse yelled as he ran up the stairs, he looked from Luke on the floor to a shocked Chloe, "What happened?"
"This crazy bitch shot my foot!" Luke cried clutching his bleeding foot.
"Why did you shoot him?" Jesse asked confused.
"It was an accident!" Chloe screamed waving the gun in the air, "He wouldn't give me the money"
"So you shot him?" Jesse asked, "Nice" Chloe was taken aback by this, Jesse wasn't annoyed? "Why wouldn't you give her the money you owe us?"
"I was!" Luke spat "I tried to get past her to get into the other room and then she fucking shot me"
"Where is it?" Jesse asked and Luke pointed to the other room, whimpering. Jesse disappeared and then returned to the room with a bag on his shoulders. "Help me with him?" Jesse asked, Chloe nodded. "But pass me the gun first" Jesse chucked as Chloe happily handed him back the gun.
The pair yanked the crying Luke upwards and carried him down the stairs. Once the pair carried him outside Stacie emerged from the car with a smile plastered across her face.
"What happened here?" Stacie asked excitedly.
"Chloe shot him" Jesse said to which Stacie raised an eyebrow at her. Stacie bent down to look at Luke's foot.
"Oh no Luke it looks really bad" Stacie said airily, "We might have to amputate it" Stacie teased which earned a loud whimper from Luke. Stacie laughed aloud as she helped Luke into the back of the car.
"Do I have to sit with her?" Luke asked as Chloe climbed in next to him.
"What are you scared of her?" Stacie asked
"What, no don't be stupid" Luke said unconvincingly which earned chuckled from Jesse and Stacie.
The car journey was mostly peaceful apart from Luke's occasional moans and whimpers, Stacie rang Beca to tell her that they were bringing Luke and the money to her. Chloe couldn't help but feel nervous.
Once they pulled up next to the warehouse, Stacie left the car to speak to Beca who was inside. Jesse and Chloe helped Luke out of the car and marched him into the warehouse. Once inside, Jesse took them to a small room where Beca was seated.
"What the fuck happened?" Beca asked confused as she stood up from her seat.
"Chloe shot him in the foot!" Stacie announced, Beca looked from Luke to Chloe and then back again.
"What did you do Luke?" Beca asked scratching her head.
"I didn't do anything!" Luke protested, "I was trying to get the money and she fucking shot me! I think I'm dying"
"Oh please" Stacie scoffed.
"Well Luke, if you gave me my money on time this wouldn't of happened" Beca said calmly, Luke ducked his head defeated. "Take him to hospital, he's messing up the floor." Beca ordered, Chloe moved to grab him again. "You stay" Beca pointed at her.
Chloe visibly gulped as Jesse and Stacie dragged Luke away, once the door shut an eerie silence fell over Chloe and Beca. Beca was looking at her intensely with a growing smirk entering her face.
"Dude" She began, she exhaled. "That was awesome!" Chloe gasped, Chloe expected to be shouted at or worse, but no Beca was stood before her laughing.
"Seriously, he looked terrified of you!" She said standing closer to Chloe, "He will never be late on paying me again."
"Great" Chloe said feeling more confident, "So you'll have me to thank for that" She said smirking and wiggling her eyebrows. Beca blushed slightly.
"I suppose" She said casually.
"So am I in?" Chloe asked almost hopefully.
"Oh totally" Beca said taking another step forward, Chloe could feel Beca's breath against her. "You'll be a great asset to the team"
Chloe tried not to shudder as she felt Beca's sweet breath hit her lips, she shook away the thoughts of leaning in towards Beca away. Beca smirked as she pulled away.
"Come on, we have to track Tom down now" Beca hushed as she tangled a finger through Chloe's hair, Chloe gasped, she cursed herself for letting Beca make her feel confused? Weird? Excited? Chloe couldn't put her finger on it. Beca moved around Chloe slightly bumping her hip with the redhead as she left the room.
She could hear Beca laughing still as she hurried behind her, Chloe felt slightly more at confident, now, she was one step closer into finding Tom and getting her revenge.
I hope this isn't to crazy?! Obviously I know nothing about mobs so I'm winging it!
Oh and the thing with Stacie at the start about the Middle ages bit, I actually kind of guessed but I hope I was right, if I'm wrong I'm sure someone would point it out and let me know as I die from embarrassment! ;)
Thank you all again :)
