Hearing the names, Amanda was stunned for a second.
Bang!
Someone had already infiltrated the territory.
"Shoot!" The leader of the gang tried to escape but Amanda held him back,
"Hey! You said you'll let me off after your silly questions!" He struggled
"Of course. I need your hand." Amanda whispered.
She looked up only to be shocked.
Chase Wilson and two men behind him were pointing guns.
"You." Amanda recognized,
Chase raised his hand,
"Make a move and I'll kill!" She snapped,
Chase smiled and walked close.
"I also had the same business." He leaned closer,
"What are you-"
"Shut up!" Amanda snapped and pointed the blade to his neck,
"Why are you protecting him? I thought you were gonna kill?" He asked,
"I only said I'll kill, that means I'll have the choice of who."
Chase smiled and held her wrist.
Quickly, Amanda tried to twist his arm but he immediately avoided her.
The two broke into a fight while the others stared at them.
"They're so cool,"
"Yeah, like two professionals having a match."
After a while, Chase cut the fight,
He stepped back and looked at Amanda.
"You're exhausted," he observed,
"Whatever it is you want to say, he's under my control," Amanda breathed heavily,
"And what are you going to do with him?"
"None of your business."
'I'm dizzy,' Amanda staggered,
"Are you okay?" Chase walked towards her,
"No"
Amanda collapsed as Chase held her in his arms.
He turned to the gang leader,
"Take him away. I'll handle him personally."
"Just so you know, I'm under her control. You can't take me without permission," the leader argued,
"That's why I'll keep you on her behalf."
Chase walked away with Amanda in his arms.
He wrapped his jacket around her and brushed a strand of hair off her cheek gently.
'Amanda.'
'I've been waiting for you all these years.'

Laughter.
"Is he really one of us?"
"He looks like those kids from the streets,"
"Hahaha, I know right?"
"Look! He's crying."
"Ahahaha!"
"Pathetic!"
A group of kids ganged up and beat Chase.
Just then, the teacher came and everyone ran away.
Chase wiped off his tears and stood up.
He went to his class.
As usual, everyone was looking at him in disgust.
