Chapter 39 - Shitty Friends

"It started when Maxi and Hope sent him to keep an eye on the Scrims after they had threaten to hunt us down and kill everyone here for protecting Emily. It turns out their leader Clarke Gibbs and Jordan were close friends back In high school days, so he set up a meeting to see if they could convince Clarke to let It go. It turns out that the Valtos had been taking advantage of Clarke's family for years now and he wouldn't stop until he had wipe out every Valtos member" Raven said.

John looks at her and said "So what happened next?"

"Well he made an offer that If we gave up Emily he would leave us Intact. I was willing to make the sacrifice If the others would stay alive. So the next morning I had Emily tied up and headed to the drop site. It went successfully" Maxi said.

"We met Maxi on the way back, where Jordan kicked the living shit out of him until he gave up the location of the drop site. We headed Immediately after he spoke, luckily they love to talk a lot before they begin torturing their victims. We all went nuts and slaughter a whole lot of them. We eventually were caught and he asked who plotted this plan. We all were silent until Jordan played a hero and became our saviour. He was shot In the chest and they tossed his body Into their van. It's my fault, I sent him to spy on some criminal" Hope said.

"I returned to the scene all bloody and he then decide to show us mercy so he allowed us to live If we join the scrims. I agreed and now I teach the scrims for a living" Maxi said.

John wipes his tears, walked over to Hope, kissed her on the forehead and said "It's not your fault Hope, your a good friend and that's why my brother was attracted to you" Hope eyes widened as she heard this

"See I told you that It's not your fault Hope" Maxi said.

John turned towards him a glares at him and said "I used to think we'd be friends forever Maxi but back then I knew you. Now I stare In the face of a stranger"

"I've grown up Thorn It's all about me now. I won't die because of any of you guys" Maxi yells.

John replies "Well then traitor I'm going to kill every Scrim I find and you'll die If you stand In my way"

"Thorn I'll let you leave but you better pray we don't cross paths again for now were enemies" Maxi said.

John replies "You killed my brother and betrayed my trust Maxi, so I'm going to gut you like a fish. Our past Is the only reason your standing here. Girls get the Jeep, Quinns you and Scott get the BMW and Emily get my bike we leave In five minutes"

After five minutes they were on their way heading into town, John was leading the girls to the dock where he'll try to get in touch with Quaver to make a deal. As he pulls up at the docks he stopped and parked his motorcycle.

He then walks over to the others and said "You guys stay here If I don't return In twenty minutes come In guns blazing"

He then puts on his hoodie, covered his head and tucked his S&W under the hoodie. He knocks on the door and turned his back waiting for the door to be opened.

A lady came to the door and said " Yes may I help you?"

"Hello I'm looking for Quaver, Is he Around?" John said as he turned around and removed the hoodie off his head.

Her eyes widened as she saw his face. She then said "It's you, oh no" before trying to close the door but John uses his feet to stop it.

As she runs trying to get downstairs, John enters and grabs her pining her to the ground.

"Stop I'm not here to hurt you, I just want to talk to your boss" John said.

"He's my fiancee not my boss and what do you want to talk about" She said as she grunts.

John released her, took a seat and then said "Sorry for being rough but I had to stop you from going outside or else my friends would probably leave you bloody"

"Sure whatever, what do you want?" She said.

John looks at her and said "Well you seem to know me?"

"Not really I just saw you on the news and heard that your a lunatic that's all" She said.

J

ohn laughs and said "Well since you think you know me can I get your name?"

"It's Karen and should I call you John or Thorn" Karen said as she slips a knife into her shorts.

John replies "You can call me Thorn I prefer that name In a situation like this"

"I'm sure your not here for this" Karen said.

John replies "I'm here for Quaver where Is he?"

"He's on a business deal" She said.

John then said "Call him I don't have all day"

She then took out her phone and pretends to be dialing. She slowly walks to John and then hands him the phone. As John was close enough trying to take the phone, she draws and swings at John neck. John had stopped the blade with his right hand and it went deep into his flesh.

John glares at her and said "I'm In a bad mood but I thought If I was kind maybe you would have cooperate, but now I'm even more pissed"

"I'm sorry" She said as she backed off.

John then grabs her by the hair and said "Go outside and go Into that car. If you run they'll shoot you"

She hesitated for a minute but move immediately after she looked into his eyes. John then wraps his wound and then called Quaver with her phone.

"Hey baby whats up?" Quaver said after he answered his phone.

John replies "It's Thorn, I want weapons, automatic rifles, hand guns, 50 cal, a ship that can carry two cars and a bike by 5 p.m tomorrow at the junk yard"

"You prick what did you do to her" Quaver yells.

John replies "She's fine although few minutes ago I was gonna smash In her face for trying to cut my throat"

"Remember John I never did anything to you so don't make me angry" Quaver said.

John then said "Tch I returned and heard that my brother was killed by the Scrims. So I'm way passed being angry so If I don't get that order tomorrow you'll be sad not angry, maybe both"

After saying that John hangs up the phone and walks outside.

"Guys were going to make camp at the junk yard and the grim reaper said to call him jack now mask on until I say to remove It" John said as he speed off down the road on the motorcycle.

Few hours later, a minute before 5 p.m a van pulled up into the junk yard and Quaver stepped out and opened the back so that John could see that It wasn't a trap. John and Karen then walks over to Quaver. Quaver had a mask on his face while John had on a mask with his S&W in his hands.

"J nice to see you again, sorry about the mask never know who's watching" Quaver said.

John replies "Q get the boat ready to move at 9 tonight and If you fail me I'll hunt you down"

"What so I should wait until you start a war before I get my girl" Quaver said.

John then walks pass him and said "There's your girl I was just keeping her safe from your enemies outside your house" John hops into the van and speed off. The others immediately follow behind him and throws the bike keys into his hands.
