* 1 week later*

It's been a week since the gun battle went down in the front yard, and nothing has changed. Which you think losing a member of your own gang would take a toll on you, but very one seem fine, well on the outside.

After losing Joe, Boss has been sending us out on more jobs, to get our minds off of things. On the bright side, Jason and I have been spending a lot of time together, but still act like friends, but Grace is catching on. She is always asking about why Jason pushed me up against the wall in the battle and what did he say.

Right now we all are in the meeting room, talking about our next job, I haven't been listening because Boss always sends me on the 'safe' jobs, which are dropping of packages, or get our money back from someone. the meeting was almost over when Boss says something that makes me look up.

"Starting tomorrow, we are going to look for a replacement for Joe, we can't go on with our small numbers, and even with Joe is was hard" he says leaning back in his chair, running his hair through is gray/black hair. We all look at each other with wide eyes.

"We can't replace Joe, there is no one like him" Mark says with hurt in his voice, part of it being that he just lost is brother and is still getting over it.

"Not replacing, just getting new members" Boss says standing up. We all sigh, no one an replace Joe and his stupid jokes.

"It still won't be the same" Grace says with her head in her hands. Boss sighs then stands up out f his chair and walks around the table over to the door.

"Ok everyone, to your jobs" We all stand up. Grace and I make our way upstairs and grab everything we need, which is just a book bag with drugs in it. Grace is my partner on this job instead of Jason.

"So, whats going on with you and Jason?" Grace says with a smile on her face. I groaned and opened the car door and got in.

"I told you nothing happened, and nothing is happening" I say backing out of the drive way. Jason and I are still not telling anyone about us yet.

"Fine, i won't tell you about Mark and I" she says turning her head looking out the window.

"What, you and Mark!!" i say almost screaming. She turned to me and shrugs her shoulders. God Jason is going to kill me, but Grace won't tell anyone so its ok.

"You promise you won't tell anyone, and I mean anyone!" I say almost shouting the first part. she smiles and nods her heads 100 miles per hour.

"Ok, well we are dating an-" I say before getting cut off my Graces screams. She hops up and down in her seat.

"Ok so have you guys done it yet?" she says after she calms down. I almost chock on my breath.

"No we haven't" I say laughing. its true, we haven't and I'm not ready yet, we have only been dating for maybe a month, and we are taking it slow.

Before she could ask anything else, we pull into the house where we are dropping the bag off at. I pull in front of the house and get out. Grace grabs the bag and we walk to the door. I knock three times then step back, waiting for the answer. After a couple minutes of banging on the door and shouting, no one answered.

"I don't think anyone is home, lets go" Grace says. I nod and we turn to the car and walk to it, just then we hear a loud scream. Grace and I both pull out our guns and point them to the house.

"HELP!" This time, it was a different person that screams. Grace and I look at each other then make our way into the house.

We bust into the house and follow the screams. We run upstairs to find three men around a girl and a boy tied to a chair. The men turn and point their guns at us. One man shoots, but thankfully misses, Grace shots him in the head, as I take out the other two.

"You clear the house and find the money" I say turning to Grace, se nods and walks out of the room. I turn to the couple tied to the chairs. I walk over to them, which causes the girl to whimper in fear.

"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm Kelli whats your names, and how did this happen?" I ask undoing their ties.

"I'm Will, and this is Lily, and I came here to make them pay for what they did to Lily, but she followed me" will says looking over at Lily, who has her head down.

"I took out one guy, but the others grabbed us and put us here" he continues standing up with Lily.

"What did they do to you?" i ask Lily. She puts her head down as tear slips from her eyes.

"They burnt down my house" she says in a whisper. Sadness came over me, why would anyone do that to someone like her?

"And I just got evicted, so I don't have anywhere else to stay" Will says rubbing his wrist where the ropes were.

"The house is clear and I got all the money" grace says coming into the room. I turn to her and nod.

"How are your fighting skills?" i ask turning back to the two in front of me. Will, Lily and Grace all give me a weird look. Grace lightly slaps my arm, but I gave her a 'just go with it' look.

"Umm, I'm pretty strong, but Lily is super smart, and can hack into anything" Will says with a smile. I nod and think about it. We need more members for the gang, and they need a place to stay. If they are as good as they say they are, then it won't hurt.

"What if I gave you guys a place to live" I say but Grace cuts me off.

"Kelli, what are you doing?" she says grabbing my arm.

"Trust me" I say to her then turn back to the two. "I can give you a place to live, but you have to give us something in return" I say to them, their smiles fade a little but come right back.

"Ok, we will do anything, please" Will says, he looks over at Lily who is nodding her head yes as well.

"Ok, but understand that one you step foot in that house, your life's will change, and there is no going back, your life will turn into a living hell" I say warning them, which it is true, but they really need a place to live and we really need new members.

"Ok, we will do it" Lily speaks up. I turn to Grace who gives me a hard look but lightens up.

"The boys are going to kill you" she says as we make our way down the hallway. I turn to see Will and Lily following behind.

"Yea, but if they are as good as try say they are, then we can use them" I say opening the front door, making my way out to the car.

"And if they are not as good as they say, what then?" I look over to the two as they get into the car.

"Well, if they not, then they don't pass the test, then you know what happens" I tell her. What happens is if you don't pass they test, you die.

We all make our way into the house, hearing the boys voices coming from they living room. Grace told Will and Lily to stay back and wait for us to call them in.

"Hey girls how was it?" Jason ask before taking another sip of his beer. I put the bag and money of the table. They give me a weird look, but I explain.

"So me and Grace got there and no one answered, so after a couple minutes we turn to leave and we hear a scream, so we went into the house and we found two people tied to chairs, the guys we were going to do the deal with shot at us, so we took them out" I say in one breath, I stop taking another breath in before starting again.

"So Grace went and found the money, and I talked to the two people" I was cut off by Mark.

"What did you do with them?" He ask, his eyebrows pointed up.

"Well you see, I know we need new members, so" I drop off as Grace brings Will and Lily around into the room. Jason and Mark hop off the couch and look at me.

"Kelli, what where you thinking, they can rat us out!" Jason says looking from me to the couple behind me.

"No they won't, look they needed a place to stay, and Will is really good fighting and Lily is sneaky, you know we could use them, we need them" I say looking into Jason's carmel eyes.

"What if they suck and can't do any of that, huh?" he say stepping closer to me, I can now smell the alcohol on his breath.

"You put them through the test, just like everyone else, they pass their in, if not you know what happens" I turn to look at the couple, taking in everything I just said.

"Ok, your right we do need new people, we will start them tomorrow" Mark says walking over to the two. I follow behind him.

"This is Will and Lily, Will and Lily this is Mark, Jason, and Grace, you will meet Boss later" I say pointing to everyone in the room. They nod at each other and Mark takes the couple upstairs to show them their rooms. I make my way over to Jason, to talk to him when Grace comes by and lightly push me into him, causing my hands to land on his chest, out faces inches apart.

Grace laughs and walks off, taking the money and bag downstairs to the safe. I look up into Jason's red eyes, the smell of beer and weed still in the air. I unwrap myself from him and step back.

"I'm going to bed, do you want to sleep in my bed tonight?" I ask putting on a small smile. But instead of coming with me, Jason just sits back on the couch.

"No, I think I'm going to stay here tonight" he says taking a swig of his beer. My eyebrows come together in confusion.

"Um ok, well if you change your mind, you know where to find me" I say in a sad voice, I really wanted to cuddle with him tonight be I guess not.

"Ok, but I won't, I have better things to do" he says with a small chuckle. This ticks me off, I put my hand on my hip, shifting my weight to my left leg.

"Really like what, getting more high and drunk, because if thats they case, then I don't want you anywhere near me" I say before taking off running up the stairs. What he said hurt me, and I don't know why, but this has been happening more, the little things he does hurts.

I make my way into my room, slamming my door. I strip of my clothes, until I'm just in my underwear and bra. I craw into bed and pull the covers over me.

I was just about to drift off to sleep when I hear my door open, I look to see that it is Jason.

"I told you I don't want you in bed with me" I tell him, but it is muffled by my blanket.

"I know, and I know I was a dick down there, so I want to make it up to you" This makes me look up at him with a questioning look.

"What do you mean?" by this time Jason by my bed, on his knees, looking into my eyes. He grabs my hands and holds them tight so I can't jerk them away.

"I want to take you out tomorrow, just us, i want to show you I'm sorry, and I am I shouldn't have said that, I was stupid and I'm sorry" he says putting his forehead on mine. I smile at his cuteness and the fact that he is saying he's sorry.

"Ok, I would like that" I say smiling. He nod and speaks up.

"Ok baby girl, you get some rest now and tomorrow it's all about you ok, goodnight" he kisses my head before standing up and making his way to my door.

"Goodnight" I whisper back. He smiles and disappears behind the door he closes.

'Tomorrow it's all about you' I can't wait to be with Jason, we haven't had a lot of time together, sometimes we stay in each other rooms, but thats it. I just want to be with my boyfriend. I smile at the fact of it just being me and Jason.

Jason.

My feeling for him grow everyday. I see past his bad boy side, right into his soft loving side. He is not the killer everyone makes him out to be.

He is not all bad.
