Thirty Four - Rip each others heads off
Aria's POV
I walk up several sets of stairs and by the time I reach the top I am panting. Daniel chuckles and pats my head, "There, there, young one. You have made it." he says and I shove him away, still panting.
I'm so fit.
"Where do we go?" I ask and Vincent points down the hall. "Where is Charlie and Grayson?" I ask.
"They're at our base. Charlie didn't want to come and Grayson is too young." Cody explains. Isn't he eighteen? Okay.
Vincent pushes open a door that reads the number 706 and Daniel grabs my hand, "I'm scared." he whispers and I chuckle.
Mr. Halorez, whoever he is, told us to meet him in the hotel we are standing in. The hotel is old and not in use anymore. It looks really dodgy and it has obviously been abandoned for a really long time. The elevator didn't work and so we got to have the pleasure of walking up seven sets of stairs.
I grip tighter onto Daniels hand when I see a room full of guys with guns. Yes, I've seen guns before. I've seen someone that was shot right in front of me but this is different. These guys are big and scary and they have huge metal machine guns and tattoos that cover their bodies.
All the guys are standing around the room. You can see by their postures that they are waiting for something.
"Aria Jax. I never thought I would live to the day I saw you again." A man with balding black hair says to me. He is pudgy and he has a round face with a lot stubble along his jaw.
This has to be Mr. Halorez. He seems so average, compared to what I expected.
"Why did you want to meet me?" Mr. Halorez asks Jay and then looks to the rest of the guys and me.
"We want to merge The Shadows and The Scorch into one gang." Jay states and Mr. Halorez nods with a frown.
"Come, sit." Mr. Halorez tells us and sits down on a seat while the rest of the men in the room stay standing.
Vincent and Cody sit and I sit after and the rest of the guys sit down after me. I don't really know how to explain that Vincent, Cody, Daniel, Jay, Mickey, M and Sven all sat down because that takes too long to say even in my head so I am going to call them 'the force' from now on.
"Why did you decide to become one gang?" Mr. Halorez asks, looking at us intensely.
"Well, quite a few people in our gang were killed when they got caught in a riot a while ago, there used to be nine of us and now six are dead. We are two of the strongest gangs in the world and since we no longer want to rip each others heads off, we can become one gang and be even stronger. Aria has nowhere to go and so we want her be a part of a new family," Jay winks at me, "We can make sure she stays safe." he states.
"Okay, you can make this new gang. I will write a contract and send it to you and you guys will have to sign it and decide on a new name and a new base and so on. I have a few conditions that have to be followed if this is going to work. One, your new base must be located in London. Two, Grayson and Charlie may not be a part of this new gang because they are not here. Three, tomorrow you will have to go on a mission and if it fails, this group can not be formed because it would be obvious that you guys don't work well together.
"In the mission you will have to collect a package of diamonds that were stolen and you will have to return it to me. You will all have to go to a club named moonshine in downtown London and you will find the diamonds in a room at the back of the club labeled 'Room E', in this room will be a group of men that will have to be distracted while someone else gets the diamonds that are in the same room. I don't care how you get the diamonds but if it fails then you will not be a new gang and Aria will be mine." Mr. Halorez proposes, winking at me.
"Yours?" Vincent asks, his jaw clenching.
"Yes, you said Aria has nowhere to go so she will come to me and I will take care of her and she will go where I go. That is, if your mission fails. I want the diamonds by the end of tomorrow and that is final. Now, I want everyone to leave the room so I can talk to Aria alone. You do not have an option. Get out." Mr. Halorez states and everyone nods and gets out, a few of them hesitate but leave.
They better be waiting right outside or I am going to kill each and every one of them.
"So, Aria," Mr. Halorez says, breaking me out of my thoughts, "Do you know what is happening? Do you know who I am?" he asks and I shake my head.
"All you need to know is that I used to be a friend of your fathers, before he went insane and started killing innocent people." he states.
"I just don't understand anything. It doesn't make sense." I state.
Mr. Halorez stands up, "There is nothing to understand. Your dad killed people and your friend's families ended up being part of those people. That's all that you need to know. You're an orphan and that's just a fact. Now go, get the diamonds. Goodbye Aria, if you need anything, call me and I will meet you wherever you want." Mr. Halorez says and then points to the door, waiting for me to leave.
