Worse deal ever by Kimba sue (i love reading books .txt) 📖

Ten minutes passed, and she heard when Tony came back in.

“Emerald, where are you?”

She opened the bathroom door slowly. Emerald hoped no one else came in with him. When she poked her head around the door, it was only Tony. He walked towards her, as she sighed with relief.

“I can see why you are running now.” He stood outside the bathroom, and lent on the wall opposite. “I had a feeling there would be someone asking about you. It was a man by the name of Jimmy, he said if I see his sister to call them. Your family is worried about you.”

Her hands flew to her mouth. Did he believe him? What was he going to do call him back if he didn’t like her answers? She knew this was a bad idea. She should have been gone.

“Look that guy is not my brother. I don’t have a brother and the only parent I have is my mother, and she lives in a retired community. He is the main boss over Benny. I told you it was a bad idea for me to stay here with you, if they find out you lied they will kill you too.”

He grabbed her face and kissed her so hard she nearly fell backwards. He placed his hand on her lower back, to steady her. He kissed her like he taught a class on kissing. He pulled her closer to him and added more passion if that was possible.


Emerald placed her doll like hands on his large chest. She didn’t want stop him from kissing her, but this was not possible, there was so much going on, and now they were both going to be running for their lives.

“I’m so sorry. I don’t want to stop kissing you, but I can’t, we can’t do this. We need to figure out what we’re going to do next.”

He inhaled deeply, hugging her to his body. She could feel him shaking his head back and forth.

“I am going to get you out of this some way. Will he take the money back?”

“What the hell do you think?” She narrowed her eyes and shook her head. “I think since he sent his head men out and they’ve more than likely killed my best friend, they don’t want just the money back.”

They stood staring at each other. Not moving. She wondered what he was thinking right then, but figured it didn’t matter. They needed a plan to get out of this mess. Emerald knew they would be watching the bus stations and airports. The question was how long would they watch them?

“What is your plan Emerald?” Tony asked.

Emerald didn’t have an answer to that. She didn’t really have a plan now that she was on her own. Ashley usually came up with the plans.

“I don’t know yet. To stay alive for one, I may go to Mexico as we had planned. I don’t know, it won’t be the same going there without her. We had plans you know, but I will do this for her. The only thing is getting past those men.”

“Okay, first of all we need to eat something; I think we’ll need to keep up our energy.”

Emerald followed Tony to his kitchen. She discovered he lived in a small cabin so I did not have to walk far. It was maybe two feet from the bathroom.

“What do you mean we’re going to need our energy?” Emerald asked puzzled. “You can’t come with me. If you get caught with me; they will kill us both, I told you this.”

He was acting as if he didn’t hear a word she had just said. He continued looking in his cupboards and pulling out pans. Emerald wanted him to answer her, but knew he wouldn’t until he was ready. This man was very stubborn.

She sat in a brown kitchen chair, with a red cushion for the back of the chair and the seat. It made it more comfortable. Emerald crossed her right leg over her left and waited for him to say something. She had her head bent, staring at the floor.

Emerald heard him clear his throat and say something but she wasn’t paying attention.

“I said that is why I said we are going. I am not letting you go out there alone. You made a mistake. Everyone should have a second chance.”

Emerald opened her mouth to speak, as Tony continued to speak.

“It is dark enough out now that we will be able to sneak you out of here dressed like a man. You are going to have to wear my clothes but you can wear your own shoes.”

Emerald stood up and walked back to the sitting area. She needed to think. She was supposed to be doing this with Ashley, but there was a strong possibility she was dead. Now Tony had her heart beating, her hands wet, and her mind swirling; wanted to come with her and take a chance on being next.

She was thinking of a plan to get away from Tony, when he informed her he had to go into town to get some things for them to take. This is it, she thought. She could let him go to the store and she could get out of there.

“Okay, yeah well we’ll need some clothes and some food. We don’t know where we are going yet, or how long we will be there.”

He raised one of his eyebrows at her. Emerald smiled at him sweetly.

“You do know you are coming with me right?”

‘What! Why?” Emerald said, panicking.

“Like I said it will be dark soon and we will be able to sneak out without being noticed. We take some things from here that we need, then stop at the store.”

Emerald could not argue with that, but she did not want him to come along with her. This was not a good idea. He was putting himself in danger. She had enough to worry about with her own ass.

Since there was nothing she could do, but ride to the store with him and leave from there. She put on a pair of his black sweat pants over her shorts and his black hoody over her shirt with a baseball hat.

The plan was simple. They would get into his car, with her lying on the floor of the back seat. He would be driving of course. He would run into the store grab what they needed.

When they got into the car, Tony informed her he was almost out of gas. He was going to a gas station first or they would not make it to the store.

This was not going well. She should have seen this as a sign, but she didn’t and told him instead lets go.

They talked a little while he drove. He switched the radio off.

“I don’t want to get distracted,” he said.

“Do you want me to be quiet?” she asked.

“I think if someone see’s me talking to myself it may look, well you know.”

Emerald nodded, crouching down. They arrived at the gas station, and he exited the car. Leaving Emerald hiding, alone, she held her breath, until he returned and climbed back inside. He bent over to the passenger chair and opened the glove box, as if he was looking for something. Then spoke in a gruff voice,

“They are behind us. They’ve parked on the other side of the gas station so stay down.”


“This may get rough. I am going to try to lose them.”

Emerald laid her head on the seat while her ass was on the floorboard of the back seat. She could feel him picking up speed. It felt like her heart was racing in rhythm of the speed they were going. She could see from tilting her head up that the power wires were going by in a blur.

“BRACE YOURSELF!” He yelled at her over his shoulder.

Emerald braced herself just in time; he made a sharp right and sped down a bumpy road. She was scared to death but all she could do was hold on.

The road continued on, throwing her around the back of the car. Suddenly the car stopped, and they sat there in silence.

“We’ve lost them for now,” Tony informed her, turning around to face her. “Are you okay?”

Emerald nodded. Every bone ached, and she felt slightly nauseous.

“We cannot stay out in the open like this anymore. I’m going to call one of my buddies and get us some food.”

Before he could climb out of the car, Emerald jumped up and grabbed his arm.

“You can’t get out, it’s not safe. We may have lost them for now, but...”

“I know what I’m doing. Stay in the car in case we have to take off fast.”

Tony climbed out of the car, closed the door, and pulled out his cell phone. She could hear some of what he was saying, not that it mattered what he was saying. He was helping her. She didn’t need to worry about him killing her or he would have done it by now.

Emerald wished she had left Jimmy and his money alone. They could have made it some way. They always did. This time she fucked up by going after Jimmy. He got her back by taking her best friend, but that wasn’t good enough. He wanted her life too.

Something was eating her, she could not put my finger on it, but she was going to make sure she figured it out. Something did not feel right. This deal was the worst one they had ever made. They usually found a guy to date that would give them whatever they wanted. Then when they were tired of them, they would kick them out and move on.

Tony got back into the car and put his seat belt back on. He didn’t say anything, but he switched his head lights back on and turned the car around to go back in the direction we just came from.

“What the hell is going on? Why are we going back this way?”

Emerald saw him look in his rear view mirror. He was glaring at her.

“Get back on the floor. We don’t know where they are, but I can tell you they had someone burn down my cabin.”

“They did, I’m so sorry.”

“It’s not your fault, but this is getting personal. They should never mess with the best,” he said under his breath.

Emerald noted he was mad. She tried to tell him that things would just go from bad to worst. What part didn’t he understand what she was telling him? There were many thoughts going
