Chapter 8

Alison's POV

"Ready?" Brianna asked looking over to me from her desk. I sighed and nodded as I looked back to her.

She stood up and grabbed her bag and I did the same. My eyes met her as we stood straight and she gave me a soft, kind smile.

We both walked out of the classroom and to the car. Once we were in the car we didn't walk much, just sat there in a comfortable silence.

"Which bank are we going to?" I asked as we drove out of the school gates. "Just keep driving down this road and I'll point it out" she said softly.

I nodded and continued to drive down the road we were on. Within five minutes we had reached a bank I had never even noticed before. "Wait here, I'll be back in like 10 mins" Brianna said stepping out of the car.

"Okay" I replied but she had already closed the door.

I sat in the car for about 10 minutes like Brianna said and sure enough she was back. She was carrying small bag that looked full. She walked over to me and got in the car.

"Let's go" she said as she buckled her seat belt. I turned and looked and her and whispered "please don't come Brianna, I don't want you to get hurt".

She gave a soft smile and grabbed my hand "we're in this together" she said with a squeeze to my hand.

I smiled and squeezed back them looked back at the bank. "Let's go then" I sighed. The drive to their warehouse was over an hour and absolutely sucked there was nothing to do but well... think.

You Think about what they could do to you if you gave them the wrong amount or said the wrong thing to their leader.

Thoughts of last time came flood back into my head again, I tried to push them back but they kept coming. That is until Brianna's hand landed on me, I instantly stopped thinking about it all and just thought of Brianna.

She was so beautiful, her deep blue eyes and dark hair that fell over her shoulders so gracefully. Her hand was placed just above my knee and she slowly rubbed her thumb up and down.

I glimpsed over to her and saw her looking back at me. "What?" I asked with a laugh "nothing" she smirked with what seemed to be amusement.

"Uh huh" I replied before looking back at the road.

(...)

We had been in the car for a little over an hour and most of it was listening to music. We both spoke about our days but that didn't last long. The whole ride her hand didn't move from my thigh.

I didn't think much more about what was about to happen because I was focused on Brianna. I wasn't looking at her but she filled my mind.

We had just pulled up to the warehouse and I felt my fear build again. "Here we are" I said looking away from the building to Brianna. She gave me a kind look and unbuckled her seat belt.

"Uh, Brianna what are you doing?" I asked with a tone of fear. "Alison, I'm not letting you go in alone" she said in a serious tone.

"And im not letting you come in and get hurt" I said back just as serious. Instead of saying anything back she opened the glove box and pulled out a gun.

In full shock I looked at her and she smiled. "Take this, keep in tucked into the back of your pants." She said passing me the gun.

Carefully I took the gun and unbuckled my seatbelt to get out. I opened my door and stepped out then placed the gun in the back of my pants then covered it with my shirt.

"What about you Brianna?" I asked "I'll be by your side the whole time" she replied. I sighed and nodded knowing I wasn't going to win this.

She stepped out of the car and we met at the front of the car. "Please don't talk unless you have to" I whispered.

She nodded and we walked to the main door. I took a deep breath and knocked twice. A minute later a guy was opening the door, he looked familiar but I couldn't quite get it.

"Alison" he smirked "you must be the girlfriends or something" he said looking at Brianna. "Mhm" Brianna nodded. I tried to hid my smile that came over me when she said that, I don't know how well it worked.

"Come in" he said back opening the door further. We both walked through, her hand finding mine as we walked in.

I looked back at her and gave her and gave her a smile. We followed the guy into the main area of the building.

I looked around to see a bunch of people (mostly men) standing around another guy... Michel. His bearded face and light grey hair sent shivers down my spine.

The guy we were following stopped just before Michel which made Brianna and I stop. I stood there in silence with Brianna standing by my side. We released hands a second ago because there were several people looking at us.

The guy stepped aside giving me a full view of Michel. His eyes landed on mine then wondered over me, it didn't take long for his eyes to move to Brianna.

Just him looking at her made me want to put the gun to his head, obviously I wasn't going to do that though.

"Alison" he started "glad you could make it once again... and I see you brought company. Everyone out!!" Michel yelled over the people.

Quickly people started leaving the room we were in leaving just Brianna and I with Michel and the guy beside him.

All the people had left the room and Michel cleared his throat. "Now Alison" Michel said standing From his seat "have you got the money?" He asked with a smirk.

I clenched my jaw and looked at Brianna who was already handing me the money. I gently grabbed the money from her hand and started walking to Michel.

The guy from beside him stepped out and took the money from my hand. I stepped back in ling with Brianna and looked back to Michel.

"This your new girl?" Michel asked looking both Brianna and I up and down. "She's just a friend" I snarled.

"Dang, would have been fun to hurt another one of your girl friends" Michel laughed. "She wasn't my girlfriend" I snapped back making him laugh more.

"Yeah yeah, well anyway, maybe you'd like to say hello to her" he said clicking his fingers at the guy. The guy walked to the door a few meters away and out came Summer

My whole body froze and I did nothing but stare. "Ally?! I thought they killed you!!" Summer yelled. "S-summer?? I- I thought you were dead" I stuttered.
