Chapter Twelve

Blake

I felt comfortable enough now that I heard from Maddie. My last meeting with the detective was more informative, and we were getting somewhere with the Ricci family. I was starting to feel pretty good about pulling this operation off after all.

In my free time, I was looking for places to live and this became a comforting thing for me to do. I kept seeing the bank people and realtors snooping around the property. Some other Bianco family members who came by the property told me not to worry about it just now.

It made me a bit nervous even though they never seemed to bother me or say anything about what kind of timeline I had in the back building. But then again, that made me nervous too.

I started to fear that I would leave and come back to find my stuff in a pile on the lawn and the back house all boarded up like a foreclosure, or just somebody else living there, and then I would really be homeless with no place to go.

I woke up the next morning to the local news reporting that my detective friend had been killed and found dead in a dumpster behind a Starbucks. The one that we had met in the one time.

Panic struck all over me when I realized that someone was sending me a message. Someone knew that we had been meeting and talking about the Ricci family’s hit on the Biancos. I suddenly felt sick and I went numb all over. Then my vision became cloudy and I started to sweat profusely. I fell off my couch and tried to hold myself up between the couch and the coffee table. I couldn’t hear anything anymore as a ringing filled my ears.

It was all a whirl, and the fear of this episode not ending made me feel like I was going to die. I lay myself down on the carpet and closed my eyes to wait until it passed.

Eventually, it did pass. I opened my eyes to see the ceiling, and the sound of the TV came rushing back into my ears. My skin was cold from all the sweat that was no longer hot. I pulled myself up and sat back down on the couch.

He was dead. My friend was dead, and Maddie was far away with the family that killed her family. And they were probably going to kill her. That’s it. Everyone who had been close to me and everyone I loved was dead or going to die.

What a cruel twist of fate for me. I couldn’t believe that everywhere I went and every friend or close acquaintance I had was always taken away from me.

It was like my fate was to never be happy. The universe wanted to keep me sad and low to the ground all the time. But that just couldn’t be, the more I thought about it. There was no way the universe was just picking on me personally.
