Him

Chapter 16: The Second Talk

Cait's POV
I walked into class thinking about the call I got yesterday. I didn't like how I was feeling; scared, vulnerable, weak. I came here to start something new, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I met Barry. Sometimes I wish that last week never happened, that on that Sunday I never met Barry. However, I did and now I have to live with this new life I came upon.

"Hey!" Felicity snapped my train of thoughts.

"Oh, hey," I reply with a hint of energy so she wouldn't notice I was down, but she saw right through me. You know for someone who I just met a week ago, she has become my best friend.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I-I didn't-...I just didn't do the homework last night. Whittle is gonna be super disappointed,"

"Oh, don't worry about it. He collects all the homework on Friday but didn't you go study with you know who?"

"Yes, I did, but don't think I got much out of it and it's not his fault, but mine. I'm terrible at math," I reply.

"Well now you can ditch him and I can tutor you! I am way better than him," She insisted.

"No, no, no it's okay. I'll fight this battle on my own," I teased and she laughed nodding her head in agreement. The class had started and I was still waiting for one person to walk through the door. Barry, but he didn't show up at all that day.

I was driving home when I saw that someone was following me behind. I looked in the review mirror to see who it was, but I couldn't quite see clearly. I turned left towards my street and the car had turned right.

"Phew, I was just being paranoid," I comforted myself. I parked in the driveway and got out. As soon as I was going to put my key in the door I felt someone's presence behind me. I turned around and there he was. Gonzalez. "What are you doing here?" I stuttered.

"I came to see one of my favorite partners right now," he teased, walking towards me slowly. I stepped back meeting with the front door.

"What do you want? I already said I would get information as soon as I can get it."

"I know, but I still don't trust you. You're a girl prancing around like a child not knowing what mess you got into, so I want to know what is your plan before you do something to ruin my plans," he walks up the porch getting closer to me.

"Can we not do it right now, my sister is home," I whispered.

"That's all right, let's go in she hasn't seen my face, just say I am a friend," I gulped and nodded my head afraid of saying anything that would contradict him, so I turned around and opened the door. I walked in slowly searching if my sister was home or not. I did not want her to meet him. "I guess she's not here," he says behind me and makes the hairs in the back of my neck stand. That's when I remember she doesn't get out fifteen minutes later than I do.

"Uh, no she is, but upstairs, probably watching a movie in my room," I declared.

"Alright then let's sit and chat," he says sitting down in the living room. I slowly sit down far away from him. "So tell me, what's your plan?"

"Wel, um, I plan to get close to Barry. I know that perhaps I can make him fall in love with me that way he will tell me everything,"

"So you'd be a spy on the inside. Good, very good," he exclaimed. ''What else?"

"I actually have something for you. I don't know if it's much but-"

"What is it?"

"Barry's brother. He's here. I don't know if it means anything to you," I hissed, fearing it was nothing.

"No, that's great. What do you know about him?"

"Nothing, yet," I reply.

"Okay, then if you find anything about why he's here call me."

"I will."

"Allen is a hard target, you might want to change your plan from falling in love with you to Dylan," he smiles and starts walking towards the door.

"Okay," I reassure him.

"You know I knew your sister wasn't here. That just proved my point of not trusting you. You like to lie. I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you, Caitlin Snow," he says walking away towards his car.

"Well, that went well at least," I say reassuring myself. I lock the door and head upstairs. I believe I was changing my plans... or not. If it was my job to get information, I was going to do it my way whether he liked it or not. I just had to find out which way was better to get it from. Barry or Dylan.

Barry's POV
Oli and I decided to drive up to the abandoned warehouse we met Cruz. He wanted more drugs and I wanted more pay. I was going to need more weapons if I was going to fight against González. As I arrived I saw Cruz coming in as well.

After an hour later, we had negotiated the number of drugs he would want and the amount of money I'd get paid. I realized that to go against Gonzalez, I was going to call my dad's other contacts. When we headed back home I realized it was still early enough to go to school, but we decided to ditch instead. I had dropped Oli home and I headed to my house. As soon as I arrived I saw Dylan's car. I headed inside and there he was sitting on the couch drinking a beer.

"What are you still doing here? I mean I agreed to have you on my team, but that doesn't mean you're staying here."

"Ouch, that hurts," he says extending his hand towards his chest. "Don't worry I'm looking for a small apartment nearby. As soon as we get rid of this bastard I'll leave, no doubt on that."

"Good," I say and head into the kitchen to get a beer. I walk back to the living room and sit down.

"So, what's going on between you and that chick?"

"Nothing and she has a name. Why do you want to know anyway?" I spat back.

"No reason." His facial expression said something different.

"You already know how I feel about the situation, so don't push your luck," I declared, getting up and heading to my room.

"No worries, brother." He was going to be trouble and I knew it.
