" this tastes like shit"
Arthur reads over my sub order. It's
A tomato herb meat sub. But all I can taste is anchovies. One of the worst foods in the world. Or at least to me it is.

" So.... Tonight's our last night here in Vegas. We're going home tomorrow....."

The pause in arthurs voice could only mean that he didn't want to go home .
Back at home there's drama with the other gangsters. Also let's not forget about our Leon situation.

We still have no clue what so ever on where he is. Or what his plan is. Heck for all we know Leon could've died in a hole. I really hope that's what it was.

" Mari you need to eat more I hate the fact your so petite"

My eyes widen as I stare at Arthur angrily. I'm sorry is he body shaming me? Oh hell no not this stuff again.

" WHAT DID YOU SAY"
arthur jolts up a bit as he turns away. There's no way he's getting away with this. I'm sick and tired of his body shaming .

" I'm just looking out for you"-

" Arthur I love you but we both know that's A lie."

Arthur rolls his eyes and scoffs at me

" Mari you look like a slinky toy."

I could feel my blood boiling as I look away. Arthur continues eating his sub. As I sit there silently staring off into space. Of course Arthur didn't really mean to hurt my feelings. It's just that in some way, shape of form he did . I'm very self conscious about my body .
I'm about to say something when I pause. My eyes squint a bit towards the window. Leon was outside standing there. He was just watching us with a grin. His hand in his pocket. His hair had grown out fully .

I stay silent trying not to freak out . There's got to be a way we can get out of here without causing attention. There's a family with two toddlers a few feet towards the front door. If I was to make a disturbance it would scare those poor children. So I decide to use the house of gangsters code. It's basically you say everything backwards.

" Ambush being where think I"
Arthur didn't understand at first he look confused. I roll my eyes and take out my makeup mirror. The reflection showing Leon in the glass behind us.

Arthur looks around as I do the same. We need to run. How did Leon find us....

" Go out the back door."

I tap the table with my finger using morse code as arthur does the same.

" Now!"
I stand up and run past the waiters. Opening the restaurant kitchen door As I head to the back exit. Arthur runs out the side door.
Im being chased by two guards

But I don't stop running. My feet are killing me due to my high heels. Note to self: if your in a gang never wear stoloiettos to a restaurant.

I take a running stand before stopping in a alley. The wall was right in front of me Leon's guards closing in on me.

"It's over kiddo. Bossman was very specific about what he wants: kill the alphas prey."

I scoff and grin at the guards. Then I pull out my smokescreen . Tossing the mist on the ground as I dodge past the guards and run. Leaving them in the smoke.

That's when the unthinkable happens.
A car slams head on into me. The impact was so hard that my body goes rolling across the road . Finally I lay there In the grass. Trying to move, trying to get up. But I can't move.
Something's wrong. Very wrong .
