"What do we do with this one?" I asked.
The guy that had attacked Lisa was tied to one of her old chairs. He had bruises in his cheeks and slap marks plus he was bleeding from his nose. Lisa had really done a number on him.
"He's not fucking responding!" Flaming mad Lisa exclaimed sending him a backhand slap across his face.
He whimpered in pain.
"Say something you fool. Who sent you?"
I held Lisa back from hurting him more.
The man only laughed like a maniac. It angered me.
I sighed. Your turn, Kenzy. I took off my jacket and handed it to my bestfriend.
"It's fine if you don't want to speak," I said to the man calmly. I squatted in front of him. "Lisa," I called. "Knife"
She handed her knife to me. "You not speaking is not the problem but I do wonder if you could handle torture?". And with that, I grabbed the thumb of his left finger and began to slice the flesh slowly.
He screamed in agony.
"Are you gonna talk?" I continued slicing.
"Stop!!... Stop, please. I'll tell you what I know"
I retreated with a victory smile. " Go on. Who sent you to attack her?"
"A man" he sniffed. "He spoke to me and gave me her address. He said he wanted her dead"
" He didn't tell you who he was?" Lisa asked.
He shook his head. "I didn't bother to ask. I needed the money so I just agreed. He said the boss wanted you dead"
"The boss?. Where is your phone?"
" I destroyed it"
" Dammit!!"
Lisa raked her fingers through her hair in frustration.
I took out my hidden gun from the waist band of my pants and shot him in the head and chest.
I noticed Lisa's eyes glaring widely at me. "Why the fuck did you kill him?!"
I tucked the gun back in my waistband. "He's useless"
"He said he needed the money. He was under fucking pressure"
I knew it was going to come to this. Her glare said it all. "He came here to kill you" I reminded her just incase she'd forgotten that she could have been dead if she didn't know how to fight. "Get over it, Lisa. He's dead"
I grabbed my shirt from the bed where she'd dumped it. "Sleep at my place tonight. I'll call the boys to clean this mess up"

Lisa's POV
I didn't get the answers I wanted the previous night and it bothered me. I would call Kenzy stupid for killing the guy but she had a point. He was after my life.
Kill or be killed.
Now I'm left hanging with the thoughts of "Who sent him to kill me and why would the person want me dead?. I mean, to what end?". I couldn't think of anyone who wanted me dead. The guy mentioned the boss sent a man who sent him.
So it meant not one person wanted her dead.
"Earth to Lisa". Snapping my fingers at me was Louis, snapping me out of my thoughts.
He took a seat beside me. The classroom was almost empty. I must have missed the bell ring.
"Penny for your thoughts"
Louis' stare made me start having wild thoughts.
What if it was the vipers that called the shots?. What if they've found out our secret and are trying to kill us one by one?.
No. I don't think they are that kind of people.
The vipers are peaceful... Oh shit, the Dawgs are killers. Of course, they'd want our blood...
"Lisa!"
I snapped out of my thoughts and tilted my head towards him. "W...what?"
"Is everything okay?"
I nodded unsure of the response to give.
"Where is Kenz?" I asked. "I haven't seen her since we got to school"
"She's with Kayden. Come on, let's go meet the others"
"Alright then"

Kenzy's POV
I entered into my apartment holding a paper bag that contained three wraps of burritos and three cans of Coca-Cola. Lisa had slept over at my house yester night and she was still going to staying over tonight because of the incident that had happened the previous night.
She wasn't scared. She was just being careful. Someone wants to kill her, the highest us girls could do was stick together. I only hoped her parent were safe.
I caught Damian staring at me as I arranged our lunch on the kitchen cabinet. "Damian, I can feel your eyes piercing through my skin. Do you have something to say to me?"
"Nah. Just noticing the chemistry between you and Kayden"
"The what?" Even I was surprised.
"You think I don't notice you two acting all Romeo and Juliet?"
"Snap out of your delusion, brother. Kayden likes Vandi" I stepped out of the kitchen.
What's Damian talking about? I don't obviously like Kayden.
"That might be true or maybe he likes you. He's just finding it hard to open up to you because of your feisty attitude"
" I'm not feisty!" I disagreed sharply. "You are starting to get me annoyed Damian"
"Veronica and Kayden sitting on a tree..."
" Don't fucking call me Veronica!" I warned even if I knew he was only teasing.
He got the message and paused. I noticed his mood turned sour. "But that's your birth name. Your real name" he pointed out.
"Yeah well, sue me for being dead".
My response shocked him because he remained silent.
Some seconds later, "Why are we still hiding, K?"
"That's a question I don't have an answer to"
"No, fuck it. You know why. You think I'm happy being who I'm not?. It's been six fucking years"
"Unless you want to go back to being hunted, this is our fucking life. We agreed to this..."
"I didn't agree to shit!. And I know you're hiding something"
He wouldn't understand. "Damian..."
"Cameron. Cameron Hales, that's my fucking name!". I remained quiet.
He wouldn't understand and I wasn't ready to tell him I was receiving threat messages from an unknown person.
"That person is dead..."
"To you. I'm out".
He made to door and pulled the door open revealing...
He just walked out.
"Start explaining Kenzy or should I say Veronica?"
No peace without violence 😌
But who do you think walked through the door?
