"Yeah you too, Brett," I lied, trying to control my voice I was actually quite scared, I just prayed he liked h to do it quick A nice shot to the face, or even better, the back of the head so I wouldn’t see it co
He pulled back and s his hands on my shoulders affectionately
I nodded, "It was ok," I said honestly I glanced round and sao guys sitting on the sofa off to the side, shit one of the reeted, nodding in acknowledgeh and slapped me on the shoulder as he walked back round to his side of the desk
"Yeah, I forgot you two ether," he said, still chuckling Work together? What the hell does thatto work out what he meant by that coested, shrugging and looking extre ass if he wants," I answered, looking at Terry warningly, he glared at ht, as if he had a chance
"You little shit, Jaod I’ll…" he started, but Brett held up a hand silencing hi Terry, you’ve been here for the last three years so I’ve seen how you operate, but trusta probleulped, I didn’t want to get into a fight but I knew I could defendcare of myself, probably because I’d learnt how to block out pain I mean sure I still felt it but I just didn’t care, pain , meant you were still alive, pain could be your friend when you think you’re dead inside
I sainst Brett’s orders Terry was a real assle and I’d seen hiuys lives misery in the year that he was in juvie at the same time as me He sneered atat ? I’ve set up an apartht you’d like a couple of days off to get settled, then back to hen you’re ready I’ve h his desk drawers Holy shit he thinks I’ain? Oh crap!
"Um Brett, I don’t want this life anyht," I said quietly
He laughed and looked at"That’s funny, kid" He pulled out a set of keys and tossed them to me, "Here, it’s a two bed We’ll sort out rent and stuff later, go chill I would iht? Four years is a long ti at me

He looked at me shocked, "Kid, I need you here, we’ve been lost without you The car orders aren’t getting filled, we have no one who can boost like you can" I could see by the slight tightening of his jaw that he was getting annoyed He always got what he wanted, no one ever said no to Brett
"I’ this," I said sternly I’d ht, or he would have to kill me
He slammed his fist down on the desk, "You think you can just walk away? For two years I looked after you, showed youyou, and you think you can just walk away? You can’t!" he shouted
"I can’t do this I’ht in the eye showing hiuys behind rabbedme there So down, ine it was Terry I felt soger was cocked
"Kid, I won’t let you walk away, you haven’t put in enough time to walk away You know the rules, you want out, you earn it, just like everyone else You still owe rily
I opened un, I didn’t bother to struggle, I was dead either way there was no way I was getting out of here "Just kill un pressed harder intopain shoot down ood at what you do, probably the best It’s a waste," Brett ad at me hopefully
The pressure on the back of hed "I need you to do a job, it’s five cars, one night, I need the order filled, you’re the only one that can do it I waited until you were out before agreeing, if I can‘t fill the order there‘ll be trouble for rily "One job, then you’re out, but I need you to do this boost"
