CHAPTER 11

The house was nothing to be admired. It wasn't even Jason's type of neighborhood, but he never judged where she stayed. Cautiously he walked up to the door, taking off his shades as he did so hesitantly knocking on the door. An older man answered with a shotgun in his hand ready to shoot Jason at any small step.

'Who are you?" The man asked looking Jason in the eyes. Jason wasn't afraid of the man he assumed was Diamond's father.

'I'm sorry to come here unannounced. I need to speak with Diamond."

'You're Jason?"

He nodded. The man placed his gun down. 'Come in, she's expecting you."

Confused Jason entered the house. 'She knew I was coming?" The man placed his gun down.

'She knew once the lawyer's received the paperwork one of you Sanders men would show up. I was expecting the older Sanders, but she tells me you are alright. She's in here." The man walked into the living

Dan walked into the gloomy shady building with chicken feet and bones hanging at the entrance. People with white paint on their faces blocked him from entering with serious looks, harassing him.

'Let me pass." He demanded. One of them held out a knife to his throat.

'You are not welcome here." The man said holding the knife.

'You will be eating that knife in a couple of minutes." The man placed the knife closer to his throat, but Dan never moved.

'Let him pass." A Cajun accent yelled above the rest. Dan stared intensely at the man with the knife in his hands, taunting him as he walked past.

'Dan Sanders out of all of the people, I never expe

CHAPTER 10

The day already started off wrong for Jason as he ran on his treadmill, breaking out into a good sweat. The workout was much needed after he couldn't clear his head from Alyssa. The great time they just had was now possibly thrown down the drain. Maybe it was his lifestyle that caused her to run as fast as she did. Rightfully so, he understood why she would run. His life was becoming more and more of a hell. As he thought this right on queue Dan screams his name.

Jason shook his head annoyed. Like clockwork, Dan wanted to fuss at him about the event that happened last night.

'Jason!" Dan appeared around the corner in a rush.

'Dan, I would say nice to see you but I will be lying," Jason replied, wiping his face with his towel as he stopped the machine.

'What the hell happened last night? Did you hurt Melissa?" Jason lifted his eyebrows astounded by her lies.

'Hurt her? Di

As he turned the corner he saw Diamond for the first time in years. His heart wanted to brea
