Liah sighed again and poked her head out from under her pillow, that was when her eyes landed on her suitcase. Her suitcase, she had left it behind when she left Razor's house. Michael must have packed it, or maybe it was one of the girls Razor had working for him.
Getting up she walked over to it, picked it up, took it to her bed, and unzipped it. This was neatly packed; someone had taken the time to pack her things, and there was only one person she could think of, Michael. A smile spread across her face as she ran her hand over her things. "Please be okay." She whispers as she begins taking her things from the suitcase.

"So how have things been?" Jack asks as he and David sit down to lunch. "Ugh, a lot harder than I had expected it to be," David said. "I still can't believe all this shit happened. She was my girl, my virgin, I was the envy of all the men in this community because I had her and they didn't but now, now I'm just a joke, the laughing stock of the entire community." David said angrily.
"How could this shit happen to me? Me? I'm an upstanding member of this community, I should be worshipped, not laughed at, but don't worry because I intend to have the last laugh." David chuckles.
"Hey, be careful alright, I mean you said that if you left her, her brother would kill you but if he found out you were cheating on her, then he would probably kill you anyway," Jack said sounding worried. "Good point but don't worry, I'll be careful, nothing or no one will stop me from getting what I want." David said in a determined tone.

"I have a proposal for the both of you," Blade said leaning against the wall a few blocks from Razor's house. "What kind of proposal?" One of the two men standing before him asks. "There's this punk living on my compound who thinks that he's the shit, this twenty grand will be yours if both of you can beat his ass for me," Blade said waving the money before their faces.
"Consider it done." The other one said. "When?" The first one asks. "In an hour, in the courtyard." "We'll be there." They said in unison. "Great, now remember, beat his ass," Blade said emphasizing each word. "Beat him like he stole something from you." Blade ads. "As you wish." One said with a wicked smirk on his face.
Michael had just reached the bottom of the stairs when Blade stepped in front of him blocking his path. "Um, hi, I'm Blade, I was, um, thinking that you could give the dogs a break today," Blade said with a mischievous smirk.
"Why?" Michael asks making eye contact with Blade. "Why? Well, um because there're two men outside who are itching to beat your ass but this twenty grand right here is yours if you can go out there and show them what a real ass whopping feels like." Blade said waving the money in front of Michael's face.
"No thanks," Michael said moving around Blade and walking towards his iron pole. "Hey, wait, why would you pass this up, I mean they seriously want to kick your ass, so are you going to just stand there and let them?" Blade asks pretending to sound worried. "If I'm attacked, I will defend myself but I'll not hurt someone for monetary gain," Michael said wrapping his fingers around the pole.
"So you won't attack unless they attack first?" "Exactly." "Alright then, have fun with the dogs," Blade said waving at him as he stepped outside, running up the stairs two at a time he took out his phone and dialed one of the men's numbers.
"Alright, listen up, both of you have to attack him as soon as he's within your sights. If he attacks first you both won't stand a chance." Blade said stifling a laugh. "Got it." The man said as Michael came around the corner. The two men look at each other and smile before walking towards him.
One of them had a whip which he pulled from his waist and began swinging it this way and that. "Stop for a minute," Michael said holding up his palm. "Before you commence with this senseless attack, I have one request," Michael says his fingers tightening around the iron pole.
"Ooh, he has a request." The one with the whip laugh. "Maybe he's going to beg us not to mess up his pretty face." The other one laughed as well. "Sorry asshole we can't promise that, we guarantee you won't be so pretty when we're done with you." The man says cracking his whip again.
Michael observed the men before him, for some reason Razor's five men who attacked him before didn't intimidate him, so it didn't surprise him that neither did these two but why was that? Why wasn't he intimidated by these hostile-looking men, with weapons?
The men advanced towards him again and he took a few steps back, this was not the time to try and figure this out. He thought to himself as he took a deep breath before speaking. "Whatever you're thinking of doing to my face doesn't alarm me, however, if I win this fight, I get that whip," Michael said.
"Asshole please, if you can beat us, we'll give you all the money in our pockets." The man said cracking the whip very close to Michael's face. Without even a flinch Michael leaned his head to one side and said in a calm tone. "Your money doesn't concern me; I'm only interested in that whip."
"Alright ass wipe, if you win, you can have the fucking whip." "Fuck this, enough chatting, let's cripple this piece of shit." The other one sneers in a hostile tone.
"Um sorry to disturb you but would you like to watch your boy kick some ass?" Blade asks from the doorway of Razor's office. "Who's ass is he going to kick?" Razor asks his brow raised. "Just two assholes that I've wanted to teach a lesson for a while now." Blade gloats as Razor walks past him and towards one of the windows that overlook the courtyard.
"How did you get him so fired up?" Razor asks as he watches Michael make easy work of beating the two men. "Ooh, I've my ways, I've learned though that he won't attack someone unless he's provoked, not even if you offer him twenty grand," Blade said waving the money around.
"I've to admit though, dude is an excellent fighter," Blade said in admiration as he watched Michael's movements. Within minutes the two men lay unconscious on the ground. They watched as Michael walked over to the whip, picked it up, and tested it out, swinging it this way and that with precise movements, with a satisfied smirk on his face.
"That man makes me nervous in more ways than I care to admit," Razor said moving away from the window and back towards his office. "Don't be because whether he knows it or not, he belongs to us now." Blade said heading towards the stairs with a wide grin on his face.
A few minutes later Michael entered the house with an apple in his hand and Blade was waiting for him. "Congrats, you're twenty grand richer," Blade said holding out the money to him.
"Your money does not interest me." Michael said walking pass him. "Fact, the dogs were better opponents than those two." Michael said over his shoulder.
