Delta and her friends stared in awe as they witness a live police pursuit on their way back from school.
Everyone didn't miss a chance to take pics and videos to upload to social media.
"We should really leave this place, it's not safe" Eleanor trembled in fear.
"Eleanor is really annoying...but I have to agree with her on that. Let's leave". Brianna said, but Delta's smile said otherwise.
"Girls,.... it's time". She smiled, rubbing her hands maniacally.
"Time for what?". Brianna asked in total confusion. Normally, they wouldn't be surprised since they were aware of Delta's cunning nature. But today, she was extra.... weird.
When she saw the criminal run through an alley, she immediately approached the police who were in search for the law breaker.
"Young lady, did you happen to see any strange person pass by?". They asked, looking side to side for him.
Delta sighed in disappointment. "Even with all these people and camera around, you still don't know where he went?.... I might as well just show you as the responsible citizen I am". She said, pointing in the opposite direction in which he went.
Soon, she went after the so called criminal when the police left.
"Oops!". She intentionally bumped into him, allowing his illegal things to drop so she could take pictures. "An illegal drug dealer?! Awesome! So that's the kind of criminal you are,... The perfect job".
The look in her eyes spelt danger, even he was terrified.
"You must be really brave to walk into a dark and lonely alley, with a thief. I can do lots of things to you". He walked up so close to her as he teased her the buttons on her uniform, but she didn't waver. "You're only just a child, leave this place. You have a striking resemblance to my younger sister who is the sole reason I'm engaged in criminal activities. Consider yourself lucky". He pulled away from her.
Just as he turned to leave, she grabbed his hand as pulled him down, gracing herself with a look of superiority. She meant business.
"Do whatever you like with me,....right here and right now, see if you can try. But if you walk away from me, I'll make your life a living nightmare. Kill me now or work for me, it's your choice to make. And of course, even if you choose to kill me... I'll also drag you to hell with me. I won't go alone". She sounded so serious, making him wonder who she was.
"What can you do to me? You're just a child".
She gave a brief smile. "I just saved your life from the police, you owe me. Or I could just call the police back and let you rot in jail, and don't think you can hurt me. I took pictures of you and set it on timer to upload. I'm sure your sister is in some kind of need, so it wouldn't be nice if you were to die early".
She probably wasn't wrong. Hearing her say those things made him think. He gave it a lot of thought and finally came to a conclusion. He sighed in frustration.
"Fine, you win. What do you want?".
"This man's name is Authniel Carano". She said showing him a picture of him she had on her phone. "I need to give him a wedding gift, better than he gave Angel".
"Oh! The man who left broke Angel's wedding with a single question...."
"How dare you!... But I guess you're right. Angel is a friend of mine, I want to protect her at all cost.....even if I have to taint my hands with someone's blood". She said, her gaze fell to the ground while she poured her lips like a little child.
"What do I have to do?".
"Supply me with drugs, as many as you can. Just leave the rest to me. Also, you must take this secret to your grave, no one must find out. Understood?". Delta said to him. "And..... whatever predicament you're going through, I promise to help you financially so stop what you're doing. You'll be caught eventually if you don't ".
"Sure". He was filled with so much assurance. Though he didn't know who the strange girl was, but somehow he could trust her words. He smiled. "I'm Elijah Cree, but you can call me Eli...May I know your name? We could be friends".
She looked at him for a while and then looked away. "I don't associate with bad people. Maybe when all this is over and you turn over a new leaf, I could reconsider. For now, it's just an alliance.... nothing more. You don't need to know my name. I shall leave now".
"DELTA! You're alright, thank goodness. We thought something bad had happened to you!". Brianna suddenly screamed out from a bright corner, simply blowing her cover.
Delta watched as Eli laughed at the awkward moment she was in. "Delta, huh? Nice name. Does that mean you're one of the Varles sisters?".
"Dammit! Those two fools". She grinned her teeth together.
