Forty-Five

Jace's POV

I sat in my car patiently waiting for a man I have never even met, he texted in the wee hours of the morning asking me to meet him here alone and that he has vital information about Alvin, I know it was dumb of me to actually follow his orders without questions but right now I am as desperate as I can be.

"I didn't think you would show up" I heard someone say from the passenger seat's window making me turn.

"And you are?" I asked my guard fully up.

"Exactly who you are looking for" he replied with a dark chuckle that suddenly made me feel quite uneasy.

"That is not an answer" I threw at him trying to remain patient.

"It wasn't meant to be," he smirked.

"How did you even get my number?" I asked one of the numerous questions I had piled up.

"You are really asking the wrong questions you know" he replied with a sinister smile on his face that unnerved me.

"Do not fucking play games with me" I lashed out anger slowly filling my bones.
