Renegade

Miles: Zac Efron

Maddie and Thomas left for Greece the morning after their wedding night while the rest of us were forced to get back to reality. My reality was waking up to the sound of alarm at 7:30 am. I sat up on my bed mentally preparing my self for my morning routine. First I make my way through the dark hardwood floor to my pretty spacious kitchen. The only thing separating the living room from the kitchen is a big island that also holds my sink. Across the island is my stove and to the right of my stove is the fridge where I grab two eggs. I also grab a pan form my dark wood cabinets that match my hardwood floor tiles to cook my eggs. To the left of my stove is a large window where I can look over the town from the fifth floor.  I have also set up a dinning table by the window for my guest. This whole side of my apartment is actually all windows. I of course have curtains to keep out the creepers. After cooking my eggs I sit my self on a stool in front of the island and turn on the tv behind me. My tv is vertical to the window and I have placed a back ward L shape sofa in front of the tv as well as a round coffee table.

"On Friday there was a gang related shooting at the shipping lot. Our sources say the gangs involved were Harry, Miles, and renegade gang," the reporter reported with a picture of our green eyed Harry and Miles from this other gang. I don't really know why they hate each other, but this whole war has been going on for ever.

"We still don't have any information as to who is operating renegade and we don't have enough evidence to place the gangs at the crime scene. There were no civilians hurt in this shooting. No further questions," officially stated by the sharif our county. We all know most of the things they say are lies paid for from someone with more power.

I turned the TV off and walked back in to my room to change for work. My unmade bed is in middle of the room against the wall facing the window. To the left of my bed, vertical to the window, against the wall is my vanity and mirror where drew a wing liner across my eyes and finishing the cat eye with mascara. I also put on a bit of plush and a nude/pink lipstick and I was out the door. I then crossed the room to my walk in closet where I wore a black polyester scoop neck 3/4 sleeve flare dress with nude velvet heals. I stepped out of my closet to look at myself in the big mirror that stood against the wall facing my bed. I then grabbed my keys form the console table by the entry and headed toward the office.

I walked into the my office with a coffee that I got on my way to work and was quickly greeted by my assistant with a hundred and one tasks to do. I guess it's kinda of hard being a software developer manager. "I need you to review and sign these pages, you have a business lunch at one and then a team meeting at two...,"

I cut Sophia off, "Well good morning to you too Soph." This is going to be a long day.

I had a lot of catching up that I needed to do at the office which kept me from leaving until around 7:30 pm. After along day back at work, I was back at my apartment licking of my heels. The shower was practically calling my name.

I turned on the lights in my living and I was instantly greeted by five strange armed men sprawled around in my living room and kitchen. So much for relaxing.

"Sit," the only familiar face with one arm resting on top of my couch as he relaxed in my home, ordered.

I complied out of fear, sitting hastily on my wing chair across Harry. "I thought I told you to keep your mouth shut," he stated calmly.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I stated the truth.

"Bull shit," he yelled making me jump a little.

"I could kill you right now and know one would know what happened to you," he threaten as he bent forward resting his arms on his thighs locking his fingers in front him, "so I wouldn't play dumb if I were you."

"Who do you work for?" He asked.

"I'm a software developer manger at..."

"We'll play it your way then," he pulled out his phone and dialed someone.

"Harry!" Thomas exclaimed.

"How you enjoying Greece?" Harry asked.

"It's amazing! Thank you so much for the helicopter ride you have set up for us. We're actually on our way for the ride this evening"

"The least I could brother. Alright, have a fun time and say hi to the Mrs. for me."

"Will do," and he hung up.

"That helicopter ride that I have set up for them can easily be turned into a tragic accident, Ava."

"You wouldn't?!" I exclaimed swallowing the lump in my throat.

"But we both now that I would," he smirked, "so how do you know renegade?"

"Renegade?" I exclaimed in shock, "I don't work for criminals. I didn't tell any one about your plans. I'm not involved with any gangs." Tears streaming down my face. "Search my phone, my laptop, my whole house. I don't have anything to hide. Please.." I fell to my knees. "I'll do anything you want. Please don't hurt my friends."

He kept his eyes on me with out speaking a word.

"I don't trust you," he finally spoke.

"I'll do anything, please."

Another moment went by before he Finally stood up. If I didn't know any better I would say he was wearing the exact same outfit he did at the wedding. The same black dress shirt and rolled sleeves. The only difference was his ripped up jeans.

He looked at me before getting up and exiting my apartment with his men.

What just happened.

I quickly called Maddie, " Hi honey!" She exclaimed.

"Do not get on that air plain," I said out of breath, "Harry is a psychopath!"

"Not this again," I could hear her eyes roll through the phone.

"You have to believe me. He broke into my apartment and threaten me and you and Thomas. He's gonna crash the helico..."

"You're paranoid," she sang frustrated cutting me off, "I'm hanging up now, love you!"

Idiot.

As soon a Maddie hung up, my phone vibrated. It was a message from an anonymous number.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill my friend's brother and sister in law. I'm not a psychopath."

It was obvious the text was from harry and it was obvious that he was listening in either through my phone or a bug in my apartment or both. I am not safe.
