Broken Pieces

Untitled Episode 16

I’m sitting in a chair letting Ava and Eva dress me for my date. After I got back from our walk, the girls started asking questions as soon as I came into the house. After explaining everything to them, Are you girls done with me yet? I’m ready to go, and he will be here soon. Yes, you are ready, and we did a fantastic job because you look sexy. Walking downstairs, we hear the knock on the door. I opened the door expecting Lorenzo, but my shock was Raven. What are you doing here? Raven is everything OK. Reiley, who is this, and how do you know her? Asked Ava and Eva. Yes, I know her. She is the friend I met before college. Come on Raven, let's talk outside. Shutting the door, I looked at Raven. What is going on? We have an agreement about not seeing each other around my family and friends.

Get in the car, Reiley, I need your help and I will explain on the way to the airport. Okay, let’s go. We pull out of the driveway as Lorenzo pulls in to pick me up for our first date. Reiley, thank you for coming with me. Why are you dressed up? Well, Raven, that car that pulled in was my date. Now I’m going to have to come up with a good reason why I just left. He is a man that will track my ass down. What do you mean by tracking you down? I explained everything to Raven about my family and about Lorenzo on the way to the airport. Ava is calling me? Hi Ava, why on earth did you just leave without saying anything? What is going on in Reiley? Ava, sorry I had to leave without saying anything. My friend Raven needs my help with a family emergency and I have to go. I will see you back in New York. Can you pack for me and I will come get from you later. Yes, I can do that for you. What do you want me to tell your date? I will message him and I have to go now bye. Raven, where are we going and what is going on. I will tell you when we are on the air, now text your date and shut your phone off so he can’t track you.

Reiley: Sorry for running out on our first date. My friend needs my help with a family emergency. I will make it up to you soon.

Lorenzo: Reiley, tell me where you are at. I don’t like this.

I turned my phone off and boarded the plane. I took my seat across from Raven and we took off. Raven, This is close to exposing the dark side of my life to my family. I’m already fighting to hide the truth to everyone. Reiley, I know we had agreed on that, but my sister was taken, and I need your help with getting her back. "You are ruthless and always fight to do the right thing," Raven said. Raven, I still want to keep this side of me away from them. I love them and don’t want them to get hurt by the things I have done. I understand that, and we need to go ahead with the nonprofit foundation to help and hide your dark side of vengeance. Now don’t freak out when I tell you this. My job is to get my sister back, and we were hired to get Lorenzo’s mole too. What are you talking about Raven? Why would he hire you for this? He is the head of the Mob Reiley. He outsourced some jobs to me, so his hands were clean and nothing came back to him. You have to be f*****g joking with me, Raven, how many jobs over the last few years we have done for him. We have done a few jobs for him, and he doesn’t know anything about him. He will after tonight, Raven.

Raven, let’s get to the job and get your sister back. Sounds great Reiley. So, the house is on the back side of the property, and we are going to have to take out the men guarding the house and the men inside. We have Lorenzo’s mole helping us with getting in. When we land, let’s get loaded up and get this over with. There is one more thing about when we land. Axle and 2 others are going to be waiting for us. Who are they Raven? We normally work as a duo. They are some of Lorenzo’s enforcers. We are going to need their help on this one. Just great Raven, now I’m outed to a man I hardly know. You may have any more surprises you want to add before we land. No, that’s everything Reiley. I’m going to change and get ready for when we land. Hopefully these men don’t know who I am and try to stop me from doing my job, Raven. I promise you, Reiley, they don’t know about you being the one that helps me with jobs. Well, let’s hope that doesn’t change now that your boss is a man that wants to marry me. I shut the door to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. f**k this night has gone to hell and only to get worse.

We land at the airport; Raven doesn’t call me by my name. Just in case they don’t know by face but by name. Okay Angel, let’s do our thing and get my sister back. You can find the perfect spot to cover us as we make our way to the house. Then you can meet up with me like always. Raven, as long as I have everything, I need to get the job done, we are good to go. I’m ready to get this over with. Walking off the plane, we are met by 3 6”7 men suited up and ready for a fight. Hello ladies, here is your gear that you requested, said Axle. "We need to get going. "My boss is very mad about something, and we are needed back ASAP," Axle said. "Sorry to hear your boss is mad. "Give us 5 minutes to gear up, said Raven. The boys walk away as we gear up. I have my sniper, 5 hand guns and blades with all the ammo for a war. Raven you are ready to go, I’m done with gearing up. Axle, Angel here is going to go ahead of us and find a high spot to cover us as we make our way into the house. "She will take out all the outside men she can and meet us, said Raven. "We are ready to get this mission going. "I need to get my sister back now, said Raven. We all load up in the SUV and drive to the location. We park and get out; I go ahead and find a high spot to cover them. Claiming the tree, I get in position and give laser signals to Raven I’m in position.

Raven signals back and now my focus is on taking out the men. Watching the Raven team move toward the house, I spotted one man and shot him. Now they can make their way to the side of the house. Raven and her team are secure and hidden on the side of the house, time to take out the rest of the ground men. One down, let's draw them out to play. I take the men off to the side before I take the main man watching the door. The other men came running to the front of the house. Raven takes them out. Getting down from the tree, I made my way up the side of the yard to Raven. Boys, it’s time for you to go around to the back and storm the house. Angel and I will take the front door, Raven said. We will give them 3 minutes to make it to the back of the house. Angel, there will be a fight as soon as we go in. "You are ready girl," said Raven. Yes, let’s go and get your sister. I got you covered. Raven kicks the door in. There are men on the couch that jump up shooting. Well, they know we are here now. Raven, I shot the first one while Raven took out the other one. Men start coming out of the hallway and upstairs. I hide behind the couch as shots are ringing out at us. I shoot the ones in the hallway and the one upstairs. Raven takes off upstairs as I cover her. She shoots more on her way to find her sister.

There are more men to take out, so we can get out of here. I looked back to the kitchen and saw Axle and his men. They took out the men from the back. I made my way over to Axle and asked if he had his man. He said yes. Good. Now, let’s head up to help Raven. I kicked the first door on the second floor and a big 6’6" man punched me in the stomach. I punched the man back and threw me onto the wall. The fight is on, punch after punch, and he pulls out a knife and slices it at my arm. I pulled out my blade and hid behind my arm and kicked the knife out of his hand. He grabs me by the neck and pulls me off the ground, trying to choke me. I stab him in the neck and blood goes all over me. The beast of a man is down and out. I walked out to the hallway to find 4 men zipped tied on the ground. Raven is coming out of the main bedroom upstairs with her sister. Are we done Raven? Yes, Angel, we have cleared the house. Meet my sister Maverick. She is 15 years old. Let’s get out of here and back to the SUV. All the men pick up the one zipped tied.

We are in the SUV heading back to the airport when Axle speaks up about his boss will be waiting for us. I looked at Raven, pissed off. WW3 is going to happen once we get to the airport. Raven yells stop the SUV, Axle stops and turns around to ask her why the hell am I stopping. Angel is getting out to get here. She did what she came to do. Raven hugs me and I get out of the SUV. They pull off for the airport. I pulled out my burner phone and called Oscar. I tell Oscar where I’m at and have him get my plane to the airport an hour from now. So that everyone will be gone and I can fly out. I walked to the gas station and went outside the restroom. It was unlocked, and I ditched the black suit and washed off the blood that you could see. Now I’m in jeans and a hoodie, I called for a uber to take me to a restaurant near the private airport. I pay the uber driver with cash and make my way into the restaurant. I sat in the back and pulled out my phone and texted Raven.

Angel: Let me know when you are gone.

Raven: We will be in the air in 20 minutes.

Raven: Lorenzo asked where my friend was. I told him you don’t like to meet new people.

Angel: He is not a stupid man. The guys will tell him everything.

Raven: Well, you have time till he figures it out.

Angel: I’m tossing this phone. See you in New York.

I broke the phone and tossed it on the seat. The waitress comes and takes my order. After eating and killing time. I make my way to the private airport. Oscar is waiting for me as I walk up. Ms. Reiley, we have everything ready. Thank you, Oscar lets board and get home. We load the plane and get ready for takeoff. I fell asleep on the flight home. Oscar woke me up saying we were getting ready to land. Sitting up and looking out the window, I watched as we landed. After landing, we walked out of the plane to my car. Oscar opens the door for me and gets into the driver’s seat. We are now off to my house. I’m ready to be home and shower and sleep.
