Angels POV

I didn't say anything for a whole minute.

I just listened while she hummed.

I drove my car.

Then. "What the fuck do you mean?" quietly.

She turned to me.

"I won't take you through the whole very boring story but my bastard of a dad sold me of to a mob leader named Mercury."

I just sat their and let myself process.

"I also need to tell you that I kinda ran away from the problem and now he's back and looking to kill or take me. All my fault, I know, and he mentioned that he might shoot up the gala so I thought Id mention that to you."

She said all this with a calm, disinterested voice.

That bugged the hell out of me.

"So your telling me that my family is in danger, because of some stupid shit that happened years ago?" very quietly.

Her face said the complete opposite of her voice.

Regret,anger, sadness, and determination all combined twisting her face to an oddly pleading one.

"Please Angel don't be mad. I swear I'll do everything in my power to keep you and your family safe."

"I don't need saving."

"I know. So please please please understand that, I didn't mean for this to happen and not on this freakin day."

I looked at her face and suddenly I got hit with a memory.

"I won't let this happen again. Please Sir!"

I looked down in disgust at the man kissing my boot.

My minions came over and dragged his smelly ass out my door as he pleaded and cried.

I blinked.

Wordlessly I looked over at Natalie and nodded.

Her face was filled with gratefulness and an amount of relief even I could tell was just a bit to much.

"So do you need me to call my guards or do this shit quietly and efficiently." I asked calmly.

Suddenly her face was clouded. "Don't worry this is my mess and I won't let your family get hurt, and drag you into the whole thing."

Conner I knew, was probably texting on his phone and not paying any attention to us.

It was probably my sister.

I parked the car a little way to the gala.

I turned around and looked at Conner.

He looked up from his phone.

I pointed to the door. "Get out."

He looked at me, shrugged, got out of the car, and began walking.

Cinnamon Bun was looking at me with awe. (Authors note: thats right. its back!)

"How do you have so much control over him?"

I shrugged. "Probably because if he doesn't do what I say I won't let him get an inch closer to my sister. Anyway... to the issue at hand."

I glared at her.

"You asked me not to make a deal about the fact that a mob boss is probably going to shoot up my gala and I agreed. So in return I don't want you to lock me out and pretend that you got it handled. Alright?"

Plus I had a lot of people and influences behind me so it would be a rare chance that the criminal would get close to my sister but Nat looked genuinely worried so I thought I should have my guard up just a little. Its amazing what a little money can do

I was serious about this. I didn't want her to not include me in something that would effect my family in a dangerous way. I also didn't want her to get hurt. Oh. That thought would be severely examined later.

She look at me and for some reason she seemed really vulnerable in that moment but as soon as that thought was in my head her face and eyes shuttered and showed no emotion.

"Ok."

I took a breath in relief and surprise at how quickly she agreed. Cinnamon Bun usually was very stubborn on things, this time though she seemed to need some help, even if she didn't say it out loud.

That seemed to be very hard for her.

She turned more toward me and showed me her purse.

I stared at her blankly. "What? You want to pay me?"

Cinnamon Bun looked at me with 'are you serious' face. "Sometimes you can be such a dumb ass."

She opened her purse and showed me what was inside it.

A simple hand gun stared up at me.

I looked up at her and smiled wryly.

I reached toward my belt at my back and pulled out another hand gun.

Her face didn't change at all.

Even if she hadn't asked I answered. "We all have our demons."

Her face seemed to soften slightly.

We got out of the car and I rounded my way to her.

She offered me her hand and a slightly mischievous smile.

"Ready to stir up some trouble?"

I snorted "Ready as I'll every be."

I should YouTube.
