Her Escape

*Luka at the top*

"Show no emotion.Feel no pain"

I've become very fascinated with the gray wall behind the head I'm supposed to be focused on. The plain, bleak wall is actually far more interesting than the words coming out of the dipshit with legs' mouth.

These meeting are always the same. We meet in the same room, sit in the same, exact seats and listen to someone (most likely Zach) drone on for a hour about their report. A report that I could sum up in five minutes. But Zach Reynolds doesn't understand the concept of summarizing. He is no enigma. It didn't take long for me to figure him out.  He is a desperate attention seeker; who tries to prove that he has more to say than God himself. If it were up to me I would've killed him a time ago. But sadly it isn't my choice.

I do carry a large amount of authority, but Aaron, the leader of The Silence, carries more. Aaron saved me from my past four years ago and recruited me to join him and the silence. He rescued me from a place I never want to turn back to and brought me into a world filled with guns, drugs, and alcohol. Here, I'm in control and I don't have to take shit from anyone. Along the way of me becoming second in command, Aaron became my first love and boyfriend.

The thought brought a small smile to tug at the corners of my lips. I turned and looked at Aaron, who was sitting at the head of the table and thought about everything we've been through. How our journey has brought us to now. Sitting with people I can hardly stand to be around, staring at a gray wall, wishing I was anywhere else.

"Luka!" A voice snapped, dragging me out of my day dream.

I looked forward, noticing that everyone is looking at me. That including a very irritated Zach.

"Are you even paying attention?" Zach puffed out ,his eyebrows creasing with agitation.

"No, not at all."I replied with this smirk.

"Why do you even come to these meetings? You never pay attention. I swear your attention span is as long as a four year old's!" He ranted while his darkened eyes drilled holes into my forehead.

"The same can be said about your penis. And I'm sorry I get bored listening to your pathetic attempts of sucking Aaron's dick." I retorted. My words causing his nose to flare and everyone else in the room to try and hold back their chuckles.

"You know what sweet heart, the only difference between me and you is that you get down on your knees and swallow to do it."

I sprang from my seat causing it to clatter to the floor. The sound filling the now silent room. My eyes formed into slits as I glared at the now dead man walking. My hand itched for the handle of my gun, that is securely placed in my rider boot.

The movement of my hand ceased when Aaron's voice boomed throughout the gray wall chamber.

"Enough! You two bicker like children," Aaron roared.

"Luka pay attention. Zach watch your damn mouth while you're speaking to Luka," Aaron said, glancing at Zach and I. His eyes daring us to argue with what he just commanded. When he saw Zach lower his head and me adverting my eyes, our signs of submission; He then continued.

"Now, do you all think that I can finish listening to Zach explain how my cartel was ambushed and why I'm short 25 grand , with out any more interruptions?" Aaron's voice rose with every passing word, receivinga murmur of yes sirs in return, but I only picked my chair back up and sat down.

" As I was saying, yesterday, a shipment was supposed to come in with payment but the delivery was attacked. The money was taken and the drugs burned."Zach announced, pausing for a moment allowing us to digest the new found information.
