Chapter 28
"Did you say Richmond?" I haven't been to Richmond since I left for college, let alone seen my mother.
"Yeah, aren't you from Richmond or something like that?" Jackson asks walking into the plane.
"Yeah," I say nodding my head. A ring is heard from Clarissa."It's the boss, what did I do now?
"Answer it," Jackson says. I click the button closing my eyes before I can hear his voice.
"Brooklyn," The Boss says through my watch.
"Yes?" I ask into the watch motioning for Jackson to join me.
"I'm sending a team to get all of your belongings from the safe house."
"Are you serious!" I hear Katherine say excitedly running towards us. Katherine grabs my wrist and yells into it. "Thank you so much, Boss." Kiss ass...
"Yes, it'll be at the hotel we assigned to you by the time you get there." A smile crept onto my face. I can admit I'm happy about that. I do have some collectible knives and poisons that I'm not too keen on replacing.
"Thank you," I say.
"Goodbye now," The Boss says hanging up. Abrupt as always sir.
A loud squeal can be heard from Katherine, "I can't wait to get my clothes." Katherine says walking into the plane. "Let's go. The quicker we get there the faster I can get out of these rags." Rags huh, I thought she said she like them earlier.
Everyone piles into the plane. Keiko is, of course, the lone wolf sitting in the back of the plane. Henry for some reason voluntary sat next to Katherine and I've sat alone with only one seat next to me.
Opening up a nearby magazine, "Is this seat taken?"
Looking up from my magazine it's Brandon. "Huh, aren't you supposed to be flying the plane?"
"Yeah," he says taking a seat next to me. "But I got some time. I thought we could chat a while." Chat? What about?
"Sure..." I sat closing the magazine and putting it back.
"Brooklyn, I was wondering if you wanted to get a drink when we get to the hotel." I could use a drink after the last few days.
"Sure," I say nodding my head.
"I don't think so," a familiar voice says in his deep slight Italian accent.
Jace, oh how wonderful. "And why is that?" Brandon says raising an eyebrow.
Jace sits on my armrest and puts his arm into my shoulder. "Well I am her prisoner and I have to stay by her side." Jace tightens his hold on me, "24/7." Shooting Jace a glare and he returns a smile. "And I don't think she'll be able to if she's sitting at a bar with you tonight."
Brandon lips turn into a tight line. "Yeah, you're probably right." Brandon stands up from the seat next to mine and walks towards the cockpit. "If you need me I'll be in here."
Jace takes that as an invitation to sit next to me. "This is gonna be a long flight," he says stretching in the chair. "Wanna play a game or something?"
Rolling my eyes, "No thank you. I'm going to bed." Moving my body away from Jace.
"Suit yourself," Jace says grabbing the magazine I was reading earlier.
Jackson walks out of the cockpit and eyes the seat next to me and looks towards Keiko. Jackson walks past us without saying a word and sits next to her.
I wonder if he'll be alright. He didn't seem fine the last time we were on a plane together. I better ask him.
Getting up from my seat, I walk towards him. "Are you gonna be okay?"
Jackson's eyes widen and he quickens smiles while fastening his seatbelt. "I'll be fine." He assures me, "now go me and Keiko have a lot to talk about." He says eyeing Keiko whose silent as always.
Snickering, "Alright then." I say walking back to my seat. He's putting up a brave face.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Brandon airlines." Brandon says, "we are gonna be flying to Richmond, Virginia today. Looks like there isn't going be any turbulence today." That's good, Jackson won't be as worried during this plane ride.
"Does he always do this?" Jace asks.
Nodding my head, "Who Brandon?" Oh yeah. I guess he wants to feel like a real pilot or something."
"Please buckle your seatbelts," Brandon says over the intercom. Jace and I buckle our seatbelts simultaneously.
"So I assume you've traveled a lot," Jace says throwing the magazine to the side.
"Yeah, I've been all around the world. Korea, Australia, Finland, Canada, you name it." People all over the world has to die.
"Cool, you ever been to Italy?" He says, nodding my head.
"Yeah, maybe once or twice," I say nonchalantly as if that's not my second home.
"It's beautiful there, the food, the art are amazing. I can't wait to get back there."
"If you love it so much why were you in L.A."
"Well, my whole family is in Italy and they're a pain in the ass. They're fine if I'm just visiting but living that close to them is the worse. So one day I packed up my things and I brought my first house in L.A."
"The one I burnt down?"
"You burnt my house down?!" He yelps.
"Sorry," I mutter staring at my fingers.
"It's alright, I can always buy a new house."
"Anyways so you fled an entire country to get away from them?"
"You can say that I really wanted to get away from that lifestyle. What about your family? Got any brothers? A sister?" He says huskily. He's probably thinking of two of me... gross.
"Yeah, I have a mom and a sister, younger in fact. I think she's around your age?"
God, I haven't seen my sister in years. I wonder how her high school graduation went or if she even went to college. She always struggled in school, especially science.
Mom would call me her little scientist whenever I helped Bonnie with her homework.
"Wait? What do you mean around my age? How old are you?"
"I'm twenty-four," I say. "My birthday just recently passed actually."
"Ah, well happy belated birthday."
"Thanks," I say.
"Alright everyone we're heading off." The plane starts to quicken down the runway. I wonder how's Jackson doing. The plane starts to shake as we pick up speed and Jace grabs my hand.
"It's alright love," he says. Snatching my hand away
"I'll be fine," I say scrunching my eyebrows. The plane is finally in the air and we're leveled. "I'm going to sleep, don't wake me up til we're there."
"No problem, I prefer living," Jace says. Getting more comfortable in the seat, I close my eyes letting sleep take over me.
