Chapter 36
'Once again here I am.' Collen thought to himself allowing a sigh to escape his lips, the frown on his face becoming more apparent. Each passing moment the trials of containing his frustration were becoming more and more difficult. He truly didn't want to take part in this nor cause any trouble. But more so he didn't want his friend to be hurt. Is it wrong that he was willing to hurt someone to protect his friend and himself? Not even Collen could ever fully understand if his decisions were right or wrong. In the end you must face the consequences of your decisions. It's between your conscience and god which choices are correct or wrong. 'I don't doubt for a moment I'm not the best person in the world. I've done many bad things in my life. If every man and woman is god's child I'm neither his best nor his worst. Until it's my turn to be judged I will continue the path I believe to be correct. Heaven? Hell? Damned If I know where I'm heading. So I'll live in the here and now.'&

"Just who the hell do you think you are speaking over Mr. Yuri like that!?" One of the thugs began stepping forward to bring swift justice for the offense, but a single glance from Yuri was all it took to silence the man instantly. Much like a scolded puppy the fire in the man's eye was extinguished in but a single moment. Lowering his eyes to the ground he slowly backed up taking his spot back in the surrounding circle once again."Well I'm terribly sorry there was such a miss understanding. I'm gladdened a concerned citizen such as yourself was courageous enough to step forward and show us the error of our way!" Yuri rubbed his hands together much like a shady businessman who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Painfully he was forced to grin and bear it. Truthfully Yuri wasn't absolutely certain Sierra's presence would truly make a difference to their circumstances, but as the leader of his crew he felt it his duty to use whatever methods would save the lives

Back to present time. The man laying on a massage table next to Collen was none other than the man formerly known as Blue, now going by Boots. Yuri had come along with Collen, Boots, and Sierra back to the Spa, but the issues of Dimitri's gang being set into motion Yuri went back to his office to see to the redistribution of the territory they would be absorbing, and who to place in charge of what and where. Oddly enough the world of crime was a delicate balance, even within ones own organization. While you would always have power grabs in the corporate world, unpaid employees, or resentment towards ones boss would just end up in a man being fired or going on strike. In the underworld the term being backstabbed was taken to be quite literal. Unhappy, unfed, underpaid employees would generally mean a swift and early end of your life. Or those who were able to maintain power, would become so paranoid over a would be assassination they would just purge their entire crew except

"And I'm going to tell you once again no.. Also it's not that you don't deserve me, It's..." Evelyn began but stopped before finishing her sentence. 'It's I don't deserve you.' She thought to herself, tightening her grip on Collen. A single tear dropping from her eye onto Collen's chest. "Don't even think it." Already knowing what was going through Evelyn's mind. It didn't just stop at Collen asking Evelyn to date him in the past. He had asked her to marry him too. Each time she always would turn him down. One of the times she was drunk and gave him one of the real reasons she wouldn't accept his proposal. Because In her mind she wasn't good enough for him. Collen breathed a deep sigh running his fingers through her hair. 'Time and again I've told her it's not true, told her how much I love her and it all comes back to this.' It was honestly frustrating to Collen. If she would simply say the words he would happily spend the rest of his life w

At the hospital. "What's the problem?" Evelyn asked glaring at the doctors who were talking amongst themselves. Some time ago she overheard the group saying he may possibly need surgery after wheeling him into a medical room. But since then no one had entered the room, apart from a nurse that would occasionally glance through the window at the man, and pop in the room for a minute. "Well Ma'am the problem is he has no form of identification, you don't know who he is either, we don't know if he has insurance, we don't know who to bill, we don't even know if he has the funds to pay for any of this. The costs are going to be fairly significant. Even if he does have insurance, chances are he will still have to pay a hefty sum of money." "So what happens now!?" Evelyn demanded. She felt pure rage building up in her heart as she was glaring at the doctor. Although she wasn't saying anything, his mind was screaming this woman was a threat. "Look lady,

'Once again shot down.' Collen let a sigh escape his lips. After showing Evelyn the ring and her crying for some time she jumped up from the couch, and firmly shot down his proposal once again."I'm not gonna give up!" Collen called over his shoulder leaving their office waving goodbye."Give up or I'll have you cleaning the restrooms again!" Evelyn yelled. Calling out from the other side of the door.As the door fully shut behind Collen, he couldn't help but feel let down, as gloom over took his face. Making for the elevator, he was just about to pass the bar when he noticed something. He froze mid step, took two steps backwards and look to his left at the bar counter. Rebecca was twisting side to side in a stool behind the bar. Her Elbows resting on the counter, her chin atop her interlocked fingers while looking at Collen with a giant shit eating grin."Sooo boss..... Are we having a good day?~" Rebecca was near singing the question, her grin gro

Collen had never been a model. His entire life was spent either in the streets or the dirt. Before The Garden there was very little glamour in his life. Even after striking it rich he never flaunted it or lived a life of extravagance. There was the few nicer odds and ends he would get for himself, but they were usually vehicle related.... Or Anime... 'Okay so Im a nerd! ' He thought to himself. He had three crutches in life, fast cars/motorcycles, Oakley sun glasses, and anime/manga. Give him those things and he was set. In short if you didn't count his favorite car. He still lived a frugal and common life.So in all honesty he didn't have the slightest idea what the girls felt when they heard news of their acceptance. Nor did he fully grasp what it was like to influence and shoot the latest fashions, brands, or to walk the runway. But he knew what he felt seeing their excitement, their happiness. Just being accepted as models, he got to witness many women break down an

The elevator opened into a large garage 'It's totally the bat cave!' Alison thought to herself. In the center of it on a small raised platform was the orange and Black Bugatti Veyron. The car was clearly meant to be the center piece but there was many other Vehicles parked there as well, mostly classic cars as well, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Austin Healey, Aston Martin, Nissan. There was at least twenty other cars parked on either side of the garage. All of them detailed and polished to perfection. If not the two women standing beside Collen, this collection would make even people who weren't big car collectors green with envy.Collen's ring tone echoed in the underground garage. "Is that Drunken Lullabies?" Daphne raised an eyebrow at Collen. It was in fact Drunken Lullabies - By Flogging Molly. 'Evelyn must have changed my ring tone when I wasn't looking again.' He thought to himself simply pressing the Answer button his expression dead pan. It was an on

!!!Collen clench his fist in anger and began moving his way through the crowd. 'There's always that one prick ruins everything for others.' He thought to himself. 'I don't care if people insult me, hurt me, do whatever you want, I can tolerate it, if it's done to ME! But not to my friends!' Collen thought. His body began to warming up with his anger spreading from his core to the top of his head and tips of his fingers, after witnessing the man touching Daphne without her consent.Daphne jumped by the sudden sensation of her butt being squeezed, she could see over her shoulder Collen was already making his way through the crowd to her. She was worried he may do something he would regret, but before she could call out to Collen, before he could reach Daphne's location. Something completely unexpected happened."Hey what do you think you're doing to Ms. Green!?" Someone cried out. The young man on the car hood look towards his feet in surprise, he was sudde
