❝ ♕ HER PEACE IS momentarily disrupted by the sound of her voiceand instinctively her gaze switches from in front of her to the vicinity, eyessquinting as she scrutinizes the area. The throng of dancing bodies drunkenlydancing on beat to rhythmic music. She normally doesn’t bring friends along forwhen she’s checking up on her various establishments, peeking in to make suremanagers are doing as they’re told and following her command. Just another dayin the tedious life of a person whose main source of income dwelled within thevices of human nature.
BUTJADE IS insistent, the promise of a fun time being just enough to get her tohave Carmen bring her with her. It would be fun, she chimed over and overagain. Yet as the minutes dwindled into hours she’s come to regret her decision– even more so when the slurred words leave her lips. Goddammit. Bringing aninnocent into her own personal warzone was never Carmen’s intentions, but thepromise of a secure friendship is what causes her to give in. Clicking her tongue,she curses underneath her breath as her fingers wrap around Jade’s wrist tobring the other close to her. “Stay by my side and keep your head down.” Thecommand is rushed, urgency dropping off of every syllable. Without a care sheshoves people to the side as the two make their way to the exit.
ADRENALINE RUNNING THROUGH her veins, she ignores the shout of her name and holds herbreath to reassure the promise of peace and serenity that is to come with thefeeling of safety. But she sees no such luck coming to them both any time soon.Finally pushing her outside she quickly takes in her surroundings beforegrabbing hold of her wrists. “Listen to me, when I tell you to run you run fastand as quickly as you can. You understand?” Raising her hands, she cups Jade’scheeks in her palms, staring directly in her eyes. “I need for you to tell methat you understand.”
