What do you of Jeremy Vongov AKA Kila???
JoJo's POV After the announcement, my new father—the Maniac— proceeded to hug me and I hugged him back. With the bradawl. I stabbed him in the hand and while he yelled for his boys to get me, I tried to find a lifeboat to get myself off the yacht but the attachment ropes had been cut and as I was about to say fuck it and jump in the water, someone dragged my hair from behind. “Hey pretty lady, I think you got lost.” The man sneers in my face and tries to tear off my clothes but I'll be damned if I let that happen, I poke him in the eye and sucker punch his crotch in quick succession. He doubles over, holding onto his balls with an agonized expression. I search his pockets and find his phone but there are no bars. I risk it and run out to the decks and send a message to Mallory and Kenny before I surrender to Gallon's Men. Gallon welcomes me with two punches to my eye and in his burst of fury, I suffer another beating. “I could've taken care of you!” He kicks me to the ground.
Jeremy's POV “We have a problem.” “I heard. Have you informed her family?” “I haven't.” “Good.” “Shouldn’t we share what we know?” “Don't be stupid boy, telling them would only start a war. A war the bratva cannot afford.” “What do you want me to do?” “Find out how close they are to knowing the girl's whereabouts while I use my resources to find the girl.” “What about Pup?” “Leave him, I'll deal with him myself.” Not if I get to him first. “Okay, Father.” My father ends the call and I turn to Malakai and Junnev who are looking too comfortable with their laptops —Kai— and my gamepad—Nevy— when things are going to shits and pieces. “Kai, I need a lockdown on Pup’s location.” “Already on it.” “Nev,” I call his attention. “What'd you need?” He answers with both eyes stuck on the football game. “I need you to tell me the truth.” He pauses the game and drops the gamepad, “What truth?” “You hooking up with Blondie?” He relaxes on the seat and grabs the gamepad, “No.” “W
“Get in the car and I'll answer all your questions.” He says softly and I'm stunned at the sudden change of tone. Brushing it off, I right my appearance and turn to him with narrowed eyes. “You better,” I warn as I climb into the truck and quickly tuck into the seatbelt. He climbs in and starts the engine then matches the gas pedal. “By the way, thanks for getting that off me. I had a suspicion that he put a bug on me.” “You're welcome.” He says, his voice, a low gruff and I find myself leaning into it, lost in old memories, not the bad ones but way before that, back when we were ten and life was just an innocent adventure. “She was more than an acquaintance.” He says quietly and I shake myself back to the present and look out the window. My eyes flash at the digital clock on the truck’s dashboard that reads 1:30 am How long have I been asleep? “Who?” I ask, dying of silent embarrassment when I hear the grogginess in my voice. I'm here to get my questions answered, Goddamn
JEREMY'S POV Six days ago, Josephine was kidnapped from the hospital. Two days later, Pup sent me explicit pictures of her, beaten and bruised in the worst ways. And since then, a demonic haze has taken over my control. My beast doesn't struggle for control anymore, he just takes and I gladly let him. “WHERE IS SHE?” I punch the last of Pup's men across the face, enjoying the sound of his facial muscles breaking under my fist. The two men I'd left Tonia to fight had brought back up and all of a sudden, two had turned to five. Right now, Four are lying motionless on the dirt with empty eye sockets, shattered spines, and broken necks. This one is still alive and lucky for him, the inferno raging in me has burned down to simmering rage. Now I'm just playing with him. Just toying with his face. Blood sprays across my cheeks and I ignore it, pummeling his face until my knuckles are soaked in his fluid and even then, I don't stop. “Please! I don't know who you're talking about?”
“You found anything from your intense PI level search yet?” Kenny plops backward on my neatly arranged bed with her hands raised. “Didn't you see the Do Not Disturb sign board in front of my door?” I waste a full minute glaring at her as she ignores my question with bored sighs and blowing air bubbles. “This blows, Mal.” She rolls to her belly, her head propped up by her raised elbows digging into my bed. “What'd you want Kenny?” “What'd you mean what do I want with that snarky attitude, I came to help,” “Well, help quietly.” I snap as she continues with the air bubbles. “Jeez, fine… but you don't have to be a tart about it.” I swivel my chair to face her, “Kenny, I feel like I don't even know you right now.” “What's that supposed to mean?” “It means you've been acting weird since Jo was kidnapped.” She straightens up, folding her legs like a yoga instructor with arms folded across her bosom, “No I haven't, in fact I've been doing the very opposite while you've been locked u
“Burkely!” Margie, the chief's secretary, yells behind the door to my office. “It's open.” I glance up from the stack of files I'd been studying when the door doesn't open. “I know it is, I’m just sick of seeing your face!” She yells from behind the door. “What'd you want Margery?” I call her by her full name, knowing how much it aggravates her. “What's wrong with your intercom?! Don't tell me you didn't place it back on the receiver and now it's dead.” I quietly place the telephone back in its receiver. “You tell me, since you've got it all figured out, Detective Marge,” I tease. “Screw you, Burke!” “I love you too, Margery.” “Fuck off, The chief wants you in his office. NOW!” I hear her retreating footsteps and bend the framed picture of Margery, my wife, and me on my wedding day downwards on my desk. Marge and I met as first-year students in the police academy and back then she held a special place for me in her heart. She introduced me to my now dead wife who’d been
Shit! I cut the call and move to touch her but she steps back. “I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, Kenny.” “But I asked you and you said—” “I know what I said. Kenny…” I beg. “Don't say my name.” She steps further backward as I come closer. “You told me that she was attacked by Vongov! You said that the cuts weren't self-inflicted. You two made me feel like a horrible person for even bringing it up!” She gesticulates wildly like the words itself are tearing her apart and she's trying her hardest not to give in. “I'm sorry! She made me promise not to tell anyone!” “And I'm anyone?” She asks and I shut my eyes. I'm not good with emotions and I know how to fix this. A part of me wants to scream at Kenny that things like this happen all the time, that just like how I forget to tell my parents I love them, I also forgot to tell her about Jo cutting herself and she needs to grow the fuck up but that's not true and no matter how much it pains me to say, I was wrong in this. I bite my li
JOJO'S POV Getting used to life in a foreign country and a foreign tongue grows on you faster than you expect ‘specially when the locals are nice and welcoming. My case is not and I feel like I stepped into a sixteenth-century documentary on slavers and the horrors of slavery. Albert, who's Madame Silva’s driver, formed a bond with me after he learned I didn't like working in the poppy fields. None of us liked breaking our backs under the harsh sun to pluck up drugs that'd end up destroying people's lives but I was the only one stupid enough to be vocal about it and that earned me a designated spot at the whipping ground. Albert found me after the first whipping and cleaned up my back and rubbed some healing cream on it. He came back the next night and the next until I found myself waiting up for him after each whipping session. They call The Estate A Casa Do Ouro which makes no sense to me because the Mansion is surrounded by over fifty acres of poppy flowers, growing exotically
