Chapter 2

Zoe POV

Ever since the explosion at the bank a week ago. My dad has been making me stay with my brother ever since. It's seems just yesterday I was waiting for the results on my dad in the hospital...

FlashBack
This is the worst part, waiting. The sad family members, hoping for some good news or some already have gotten news but heartbroken of what they received.

I'm still shaken up of what had happened. My arm had a scrape from the fall, but my legs were fine since I decided to wear skinny jeans.

"Zoe?" I heard a concerned voice snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Ray I'm so glad your here" I stood up and walked away from the devastating scenes in the waiting area.

"I'm so glad your okay! What the hell were you thinking running off like that?!" He scolds while he held me by the shoulders.

"If I hadn't been there he would've gone into that building and died!" I step back so that I'm not in arms reach.

"Nathan Ford?" A woman in a white lab coat with navy blue scrubs holding a clipboard approaches my brother and I.

"Ye-

"Yes that's our dad" my brother steps in front blocking me from the doctors sight.
I roll my eyes as I step aside.

"Your dad is fine. He has a concussion and a sprained wrist but nothing to concerning. So you may see him now" she leads us to the closed doors with two cops guarding.

Ray walks in without any emotion. I have them a small smile at the officers before walking in. My dad had an IV hooked up to his arm. He sat up once he saw me.

"Dad I already told her that she shouldn't have-

"You did good Z I'm proud of you, for going with your gut feeling. But sometimes you won't always be right. You need to be careful" my dad interrupts my brother who was now silent. My dads comment brought a smile to my face.

"I'm gonna need you to stay with you brother though. Just in case" he adds.
End of FlashBack

But that wasn't the only thing that has happened to him. One day his house was trashed, nothing stolen just trashed. Giving him a warning to stop. But my dads too stubborn to listen.

I'm so late for track practice, now I'm running from Rays house to school. Since Ray is to "busy", yeah right! Suddenly, I found myself on the ground, like I ran into something that felt like a wall.  I look across and I see a guy with a black hoodie covering part of his face.

I stood up brushing myself off and grabbed my duffle bag that was similar to his.

"Watch it!" I hiss as he was checking me out in my sports bra and spandex.

"My bad beautiful" he responds with a husky voice. I roll my eyes and run passed him.

Once I reached the campus I went into the locker rooms to drop off my bag.

"Ray wouldn't take you to practice?" Jasmine smirks, boy does she know me. She's a volleyball player, her practice starts the same time as me, every weekday.

"Yup... now I have to run 2 extra laps and 30 push ups! " I drop off my bag under the bench and ran out.

"Your late you know what that means!" Coach Ryan shouts as I'm already running around the track. I roll my eyes as I continue to run, I held up a thumbs up saying I already know.

This is gonna be a long day.

——————————————————

"How was practice?" Jasmine chuckles looking at my exhausted self. I squeezed my hair from the sprinklers that wet my hair.

"Tiring... I just want to change and go ho- I went speechless once I opened my duffle bag. Only it was my duffle bag! It had bundles of money, like 1 million worth maybe more.

"You okay you look like you've seen a ghost?" Jasmin stands to her feet and starts to walk over. I quickly zipped it up and tossed it over on my shoulder.

"Just fine... I'm gonna go home I'll see you tomorrow!" I ran out of the locker room and saw Rays car parked. I knocked on the window and he unlocked the doors.

Once we got to his apartment I ran to my room. I closed the door and locked it tossing the bag on the foot of my bed. I sat on the head of the bed staring at the duffle bag.

I lean over and opened it all the way. I dumped the cash out of the bag all over my bed.

That's a lot of cash.

Like a lot!

I could so much things at the mall.

Actually I could BUY the mall!

No Zoe! I have to turn it in to my dad. Have it processed... and have it become evidence and sit in a room unused...

However it is stolen already... it'd be a waste to just give it up.

Plus it would be a good use one day for my family...

I slid off my bed and I quickly felt for the loose floor board under my bed. I removed the wood and started storing the money. I covered it back up and pushed a box over it.

I slid from out of my bed and leaned back against it.

"Zoe!" Ray pounds on the door scaring me half to death. I held my hand at my chest. I unlocked the door peaking my head out.

"What?!" I hiss.

"I was gonna offer you pizza but..."

"No Ray I don't want pizza! Just leave me alone!" I slam the door and lock it once again.

"Women" I heard Rays muffled voice say from the other side.

Jayce POV

"Success as usual." I smile walking over to the fridge and coming back with a beer.

Nick laughed as he lit a joint. He sat on the couch with Alex.

I tossed the bag at them then I opened up a beer. I noticed Vince's smile faded away.

"You sure about that bro?" He questions as he holds up a black laced bra. I snatched the duffle bag to take a look. It had a towel, shampoo, deodorant, and black laced underwear. Whoever this chick is has good taste in underwear... and duffle bags!

"Where the fuck is my MONEY!" I threw the beer bottle across the room shattering against the wall.

"Oh wait hold up! It belongs to uh Zoe Ford. Goes to Chamberlin High School, Junior." Alex tosses me her lanyard.

I've got an idea!

"Boys we're going to high school."
