CHLOE'S POV
I sat in my car outside my moms house, gathering up the courage to go inside. My boss, well Mason, he was ringing my line. I picked up on the third ring, he never called me so I guess it was important.
"Hello ?"
"Hey Chloe, how are you?"
"Im good Mr. King, just a little tired, the restaurant was busy tonight"
"No need to be so formal, call me Mason" he said
"Okay Mason..."
"I hope this doesn't sound weird, I was trying to reach your sister just now but got no response, is she near by ?"
"Oh no, shes out with a few friends, her phone probably died"
"Oh okay, well thank-you and have a good night"
"Goodnight Mason"

MASONS POV
*****
I had one of my guys from the Cell Towers Track Jess's phone. It had died about five minutes before I called her. I wasn't stalking her or anything, I just needed to know where she was and that she was okay, but from a distance.
Devon came over out of the blue, said he wanted to see lil man. I was tired and really wasn't in the mood to talk or be bothered, but he is Jr's God father so I didn't mind.
"Hey bro. Whats good ?"
"I thought you said you came over to see Jr"
"I did.."
"So why do you have a bottle of jack and cigars?"
He laughed dismissing my comment and walked right in. Exhaling deeply, I kept quiet, following him to the kitchen.
"Shots ?" He went in the cupboard grabbing two glasses
"Dev, I have court tomorrow"
"For what ?"
"My divorce"
"Oh shittt. You definitely need a drink"
"I cant be hung over"
"Im not here to get you drunk"
"So what are you here for ?"
"To loosen you up"
There was a slight knock on the glass door, looking outside, it was Vanessa. I unlocked the back slide door to let her in.
"You guy's are having a party without me ?"
"Come on, join us" he invited her in without my approval.
"You feel any better ?" I asked, hoping she would say yeah so I could finally let her leave.
"No, not really, my back still has a kink and my neck is a bit stiff. Mind giving me a massage later ?"
"I'll ask Ms. Babu"
"But I asked yo.."
"So.. I got a call from my clubs manager" I cut her off knowing exactly what she was about to say. "She said some of my money has been showing up short. Something about written cheques that I signed off on but I know I didn't sign off on shit"
