there was something about this girl . something that seemed worth saving , but he hoped that he wasn’t wrong . he was usually never wrong , but sometimes people had a way of manipulating , of being cruel . he didn’t sense an ounce of cruelty in her , and it was ... unlike anything he had ever seen . her arm , grasped tightly by the fat man covered in tattoos . he could have snapped her like a twig , and something about seeing what appeared to be innocence break made whatever remnants of a heart he had left in his chest crack . ❛ you have a deal . ❜ ‘ wow , over a girl i pulled off of the street ? imagine the money i could have gotten taking someone you care about . if you care about anyone . ’ the last word was punctuated with a scoff , and he nearly threw the girl over to the side of the alley way that gabe stood on . his colleagues stood behind him , puffing on their cigarettes , clutching their guns . ❛ claudia . ❜ he gestured to a girl on his right , pulling the one who had been held at gunpoint just a moment before towards him . he was much more gentle with her than the fat man . claudia , his sister , stepped forward with a rather large chunk of cash , extending it toward the man . he never received it . claudia shoots him , and the man falls to the street , clutching at his chest as red pooled around his body . ❛ let’s go . ❜ and with that , he tugs on the girl’s wrist , urging her to come with him and his small group of followers -- as if it was a choice .
