RAT

She walked into the room as they were all having breakfast and sat down. Everyone was watching her and she wondered what they were all looking at.

"What ?", she asked as they all kept looking at her wondering what she had done wrong.

"No one sits in that chair ", they said and wondered why.

She stood up to take another chair but Neegan's voice stopped her.

"It's fine you can seat there ", he said as he sat across from her.

"Can you guys give us the room to talk for a little ?", Neegan asked and all the guys stood up except Mateo.

"You too ", he said looking at Mateo and he wondered why he needed him to leave too.

She could hear them grumbling but they were too chicken to say whatever they were whispering out loud.

"I want you to go to Acapulco today ", Neegan said and she wondered if that was the reason why he had asked all the guys to leave.

"Who told you about Scarface's sickness ?", he asked and she chuckled.

______________

A WEEK BEFORE.

As Anna left the club with Mateo on her side she wondered if Scarface was going to do anything she had told him.

It was but only the condescending tone he used when he spoke with the rather pissed her off. It was the way he looked at her, he looked at her like she was filth.

She knew the only reason he had sat down to listen to her was because of Neegan. He didn't go to war with him but yet he didn't do things that pissed him off.

He didn't seem to be scared of Neegan though. There was only respect.

"Should we take you to the hotel first ?", Mateo asked her as he realized she was still lingering around.

"No I'll just have some coffee here and walk around a little I'll call you when I need you ", Anna said.

"What if something bad happens to you ?", Mateo asked her.

"I'll know what to do when it happens, I'll be fine really", she said as she started walking in the opposite direction they had come with.

She could see a coffee shop down the street and just wanted to sit and think on her own.

The little bells on the door jingled as she opened it and the coffee shop was almost empty. She went to the reception where a blonde girl was busy on her phone.

She immediately smiled and started apologizing the moment she saw Anna.

"Can I get a caramel macchiato and two croissants she said as she stared at the parties they had.

"Okay I'll be with you in a minute please make yourself comfortable", the girl said smiling sweetly and Anna took a seat at the far end of the shop.

The door opened and in came a man. He was so tall Anna could see him struggling to get in. He looked around the shop and his eyes laid on Anna.

He didn't even go to the counter he just walked to where she was seated and pulled the chair across from her and set his hands on the table.

"Hello ", Anna said as she started scrutinizing him.

He did not look like someone she had encountered before. He was new and he could tell that she was waiting for him to say something or introduce himself.

"Am Raul ", he said and she could only remember one Raul, her driver

"Hello Raul how can I help you ?",s he asked and the girl at the receptionist was at her table with her macchiato and croissants.

"Hello Raul should I get you the usual ?", the girl asked her.

"Yes please ", he said smiling at her.

"I saw you coming in here and I figured this is the perfect chance for me to come to talk to you ", he said as he sat back in his chair.

"Do you want me or what is it ?", Anna asked him.

"You look amazing but no I do not want you I think we have the same interests ", he said and Anna was curious.

"What do you think I want ?", Anna asked him.

"You want Scarface gone and I also want him gone ", he said and Anna chuckled.

"Why would I want him gone ?", Anna asked him.

"I heard what you asked of him and he is not going to give it to you. He doesn't give up control or power he would never do that. It is just going to turn into a blood bath .", he said and Anna looked at him wondering if this man was playing with her.

There was no way he was in the room with them and was somehow here telling her how he wanted Scarface gone.

"Who is he to you ?", Anna asked him.

"He's my brother ", he said and Anna was a little taken aback. She had expected that from someone who worked for Scarface but his brother. Why would he sell him out?

She wondered if they looked the same before whatever it was that had happened to him happened.

"Why do you want to sell him out ?", she asked him.

"I just want what he has and he doesn't want to share it with me so if it means I have to take it for free I will ", he said and she wondered how someone would think he deserved something that he didn't work for at all.

Power was earned and the way he was talking he didn't seem like someone who had worked for it.

"I don't believe you, did he send you in here to tell you to ask me to kill him so that he can catch me unaware and finish me first? He should know am not that stupid ", Anna said as she watched his eyes but there was no emotion.

He wants to let her read him at all. It was like she had a mask and she was only getting the things he wanted her to know.

"He has a son, that's how you're going to get to him. What you do with this information is none of my business. Go check out this address and then call me if you believe me ", he said as he placed a piece of paper in Infront of her and a bill and stood up, and left.
