I Was Found

" It's like you're a whole different person. You've changed...a lot."Gwen bit her lip to prevent the burning tears in her eyes from falling. " I haven't changed. I'm just showing you a side of me that you didn't get the chance to see before. " His eyes were devoid of emotion and this scared her more than it hurt her. Gwen is pretty much an open book. She's down to earth and likes to view her thoughts . But due to wicked fate , she has to get her hands dirty in order to provide for her family. She'd been in a community gang for the last seven years and her family had no knowledge of this. One thing she'd learnt from working in this gang was that no one was to be trusted. People could either make or break you. Her hidden life is going pretty much the same till she meets Alec Reinster . What role will he play in her life? Will he give her a reason to open up her heart or will he be the reason she wishes she'd never had a heart in the first place ?

Hell no!!!

"Where are my fucking goods ?! "

The words echoed in Gwen's ears and thats when two buffed men who seemed to be guards or something stepped in to the room. She wasn't paying attention because she was in deep thought . The last thing she wanted to do was let Bain down but now she'd done it and she had no freaking idea how she'd done it.

Luckily for her , she was able to get out of her trance just in time as one of the guards headed towards her withh his gun . Gwen pulled out her pistol and put him at gun point as well. Everyone froze.

Mr.Frinee raised his brow.

"Miss , should I take this as a message from Bain ? It seems we are no longer on good terms." his slim lips stretched into a crooked smirk .

Gwen swallowed. She couldn't create enemies for Bain. She had to buy herself time to sort this out.

" This has nothing to do with him. Give me some time and I'll get the goods. " She bit her lower lip. She had absoluteltly no plan B if Mr. Frinee said no to her. " Someone may have taken them."

A long silence followed and Mr.Frinee sighed deeply. He lifted his fat fingers and signaled a two. " You have two days. And remember...I'm being extremely lenient. "

Gwen lowered her pistol and so did the guard. She nodded and left the room.

Where did she go wrong? How did she go wrong? She'd never gone wrong in any deal no matter how difficult.

She stood outside the hotel and retraced the events of her day. Step by step , word for word.

Aargh!

She was exhausted from all the thinking.She squatted and slowed her racing heart. God! 10 fucking million.

"What the hell am I-" something caught her eye .It was the blue eyed punk she'd met. He was getting in to an extravagant car and what was that in his hands? A black briefcase ! It was directly identical to the one she had.Then it hit her.

The argument , the dropping of the briefcase! Was it all intentional? Maybe he was working for one of the other gang leaders? Was he the distraction? He was the only person she'd spoken to before meeting Mr. Frinee. It had to be him!

She ran to his car.

"Hey!!!.Hey!!! Stop!!" She screamed her loudest but she was left in the dust. He drove away. She touched her pistol but she quickly changed her mind. She was in a public place, she couldn't shoot at his car.

"What happened?" Bain spoke through clenched teeth as he glared at her .

She looked into his eyes.He looked more disappointed than angry.She felt horrible.

She owed Bain so much.She still remembered when her Dad had that terrible accident and had wound up dead. Her mom lost an eye and was in a comma for six months after that and she had to care for Louis .

Bain was there when she needed help the most. He even got her an early job .She started off with small deals like drugs and guns , soon she was tagging along for meetings and even got involved in some shoot outs.Now she was as good as Bain's right hand.The money she got was dirty but it was still money.

She was able to buy an apartment, get a car and never let her family lack anything. No matter how hard things got she always put Bain first and she never wanted to let him down.

" Give me two days. I'll have your goods. I swear. " Gwen fixed her gaze lower so he couldn't see the tears in her eyes.He touched her chin and raised her face.He stared deep in to her eyes .

"I won't lie , I'm disappointed. I'm angry. " He pinched herself cheek as if she were still a little kid. " You're special to me , Gwenie. "

He pushed back and took out his gun.He placed it in her hands. " I just want to keep you safe. I'm afraid this is a move by our enemies to turn Mr.Frinee against us so youll have to keep sharp and clear. " He wiped a tear that had escaped her eyes. " I'm here if you need any help. "

Gwen turned to leave but she stopped in her tracks abd muttered a sorry.Then she left. Bain kept looking at the door with a smile. " She's still so childish. "

"Honey , you look tired.What's the matter? " Marylynne asked her daughter .

She always noticed when she was tensed but she didn't like getting involved in her daughter's business.When and if she wanted to open up then she'd listen.

"It's nothing. I just had an awful day.I just need a hug."Gwen settled in between her mom's arms." This is all I need."

Gwen glanced at the clock. " Where is this little punk ? "

Almost like he sensed it , Louis came in. All eyes were fixed on him.He shrugged .

" What's up? " he asked as he kissed Marylynne and fist bumped Gwen. He'd grown a lot.Gwen and Marylynne knew this . He was at a sensitive age, high school senior year . So they tried their best not to rile him up .Gwen couldn't count the number of times she wanted to put a bullet through his head. He could be quite a pain in the ass sometimes.

Speaking of bullets , she only had two days or she'd be filled with bullets.

It was a Wednesday, she only had till Friday night to get the goods back and she had no idea where to find that blue eyed idiot.

It was a bright morning and the sun shone immensely. It was beautiful.

" How's this? "Leo held up the portrait he'd just drawn.

Gwen tilted her head and squinted a bit .She had asked Leo, her close friend , to help her sketch the blue eyed idiot.

Leo wasn't exactly your ideal artist but he did have a knack for drawing and a ton of money to start up his own photography business.

"It looks like him when I look at it from this angle.'' she always cheered him on long since their high school days."I just need to take to some of Bain's guys. They'll scour the city for any guy that resembles this picture and when I find him..." she lifted the picture and squinted .

"I won't let him get away with it so easily."

Gwen had a headache from all the thinking and stress. She'd waited for news from the guys at the den (that's what they called their gang base ) . Her and Leo were seated at a roadside cafeteria having coffee. Gwen's aching head only added to her fury. Argghh...How she wanted to stab this guy in the face!

Leo noticed her agitation. He rose to stand behind her placing his hands on her shoulders. He gently massaged her .She closed her eyes .It felt nice and she found herself smiling .

" Better?" Leo smiled when he saw the smile on her face.

" Yes. Have you ever considered working in a spa? You've got the looks and all ."Gwen joked. She sighed and opened her eyes. Her hazel eyes looked up to the sky.It was pretty. She turned to Leo. " You'd be a hit with the ladies."

" Well I've got eyes for one lucky lady. She's all I think about .Everyday, all day . " His eyes locked with hers.His gaze fell on her lips and his mouth went dry. His heart was beating so fast.He leaned in and could smell her scent.She smelled like lilies .He couldn't stop himself yet he knew he should.

Gwen tensed when he drew nearer. She'd always known about Leo's feelings for her. She always felt like the villan because she never told him no and never told him yes . She felt like she was just dragging him along. She hated the fact that she had a hard time opening up and she didn't want to lead him on.

Leo leaned in and his intentions were clear but Gwen quickly moved to avoid his kiss.

Leo froze. He realized that he was holding his breath. What was wrong with him? Was he going to kiss her? He let out a chuckle and winked at her " Look , I have no control over my body now. " He teased.

Gwen could tell he was hurt but she didn't know what to do.

"Leo .....I....." She tried to say something , anything but thats when her face went from calm to dead serious . She'd finally spotted her prey.

" Blue eyed freak!" She sizzled with rage.

She ran off leaving Leo all alone. He watched her leave and shook his head. She was adorable.

He sighed and sipped his coffee. He had a smile on his face .
