Hey um, yeah let me explain

After the 2 chapters I began to doubt myself and the story so I have been going back and forth back and forth on how I should do the story. And after 3 months and much MUCH laziness I have it all down and how I want to do the story.

I'm not going to say when I will upload but I will definitely try to put out a chapter once a week, sometimes more if school works permits me to.

Oh and I became at better at typing in the past 3 months so that's nice

ON WITH THE STORY!

I opened up the bag to be met by one of the most beautiful sights in the world.

Money

Fifty grand to be exact, and it was in one hundred dollar bills, this would keep me afloat for awhile.

Then the jingle of the front door broke my trance. I quickly holstered my 1911 not wanting to be blamed for this old mans death.

"MAX!" was all I heard from the stranger and then the sound of running.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. "Hey, Kyrel..." So that's the name of the girl, I always wondered what her name was. "Max what happened to you?!" Kyrel said, trying to hold back from crying. Max let out a weak chuckle and said. "Oh you know...stuff hehe" His laughing was cut off by his coughing. Seriously, I thought the old man died already he was just bound and determined to hold on for as long as he can. "Kyrel, this man here has agreed to take you to Texas in my stead." FUCKING ASSHOLE, I never agreed to shit and now I have to deal with Kyrel who thinks i'm going to take her, Jesus this morning could not get any worse. "I don't want him to take me, I want to have you with me!" Kyrel said, who was now silently crying in his shoulder. Max's expression changed to a sad one and said, "I know you do sweetie, I know...but it has to be this way, get to know your new friend, his name is John..." Max fell silent after those words.

The air in the office grew stiff as Kyrel slowly stood up and stared at Max. I wanted to make sure he was ACTUALLY dead this time and walked over to him to check his pulse.

Nothing

I looked at Kyrel and shook my head no. She didn't cry surprisingly, but she didn't move either. I pointed to my couch and said, "Make yourself comfy." She didn't say anything but did walk over to the couch to sit down. I pointed to the T.V remote but she didn't notice. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there like a idiot. Kyrel finally broke the silence, "What happened when he got here?" she said this quivering. "Well the old man walke-" "HIS NAME WAS MAX!" Kyrel was now standing up and was giving me a cold stare. I put my hands up in a mocking defeat and said, "OK, OK, MAX walked in looking like he was in a accident and started to say something about protecting you and handed me a bag with fifty grand in it and promised more if I am going to take you to Texas." She fell silent after that, not knowing what to do I asked her if she wanted some water, I wasn't about to give her food even if her precious "Max" just died, money is tight already, or I should say was, thank you Max you old son of a bitch. She nodded her head yes to the water, "I hope you like tap" there was no reply to my comment. After getting her the glass of water I saw what she looked like since she wasn't sobbing or crying anymore.

She was wearing a old trucker hat with covering most of her face and hair, which was brown tinted with blond. She had a over-size leather bomber jacket that was black. Her pants were a faded light blue jeans with plenty of tears and holes.

So we sat there for a little while till I decided to say. "What happened to Max anyway? How did he get injured like that? Who did it?" She let out a small sniffle and said, "Two men wearing complete black and combat gear. Max hid me in a box while the two stabbed him over and over and over..." Realizing that she was in a truant I quickly shook her and said, "Kyrel! Get a grip!" She shook her head and continued her story, "Sorry about that anyway they wanted to know where I was so they kept stabbing him to try and make him tell them..."

"You watched the whole thing didn't you?"

She didn't say anything but nodded her head yes. After a few moments of silence she went on with her story. "After the two men were done they left him there and went to go look for me. Max slowly got up and told me to stay put and went to your store and well...you know the rest." She was going to speak again but I hushed her as I heard the front bell jingle. I quickly told her to hide behind my desk as I heard two sets of heavy boots walk toward my office...

When the two men came into sight they were about my height, heads completely shaven and wore nothing but black and had combat gear.

These were the men

These were the men that killed Max

I hoped to god that Kyrel couldn't see them, I didn't need her causing trouble in my office especially with these two.

"Welcome to John's Jack of All Trades, How can I help you?"

There faces were completely blank of any emotions

"That man on the floor, how did you know him?" The one that talked seemed to be the leader he had a bit of a stench and was slightly tanned. he was extremely muscular though.

The other one was extremely pale and was thin as bone he then said"Yes, how did you know him?"

There voices were gruff and devoid of any human emotions.

The best lie is the truth so I decided to tell them...of course though if they ask about the girl i'm gonna have to lie my ass off.

"That crazy old fucker? No idea, he just walked in here mumbling things I couldn't understand, then he just fucking drops dead."

"Did he mention a girl in his 'mumblings'?" asked the leader.

"Yes, did he mention a girl?"

I decided to somewhat derail our conversation by saying to the leader "That's a nice echo you got there pal."

With blank faces the two pulled out survival knives and repeated their question, "Did he mention a girl?" The leader said that with a deadly calmness to his voice these fucking assholes meant business.

"As I said before, I didn't understand the old fucker, now if you two don't mind, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!"

The two men looked at each other then the leader spoke up "We will search your office, then leave."
