Worse deal ever - Kimba sue (best books to read for knowledge TXT) 📗

stress, the running, and the old life she was living.

She felt a tear make its way down her face. She didn’t want him to know she was crying again, so she didn’t wipe it away; she forced herself not to cry. This was something that she couldn’t have seen coming. She was just trying to be a good friend to someone that has helped her out in the past. She didn’t think in a million years she would be running for her life and her best friend would be the one behind it.

“I think some way we need to get in touch with Ashley. Make her see me, or something.”

She knew she was not thinking straight, but damn it there had to be a way to get to the bottom of this story. Ashley could not just be setting her up without a reason. There had to be a reason that her friend was betraying her. Ashley was in on this shit to, why were they letting her live and be okay, yet they wanted her dead, and they were chasing her?

“We are going to find a way to get to them, but we have to take care of us first. I know you think I don’t know what I am doing. That I am just playing with you, but I assure you I am going to help you out of this.”

She nodded her head and lent it back against the headrest on the back of her seat. She was tired and she was going to get some more sleep, before they got to the motel. She didn’t really care where they stayed any more, she just wanted to stay alive and find Ashley.

When Emerald opened her eyes, she was in the car alone. He left her in there since she was sleeping. What an asshole. She could have been killed or kidnapped. Then she saw him coming towards the car with an arm full of bags.

“What the hell does he have there?” she asked herself in the quite car.

He looked over his shoulder while he was walking back towards the car and he was walking fast she assumed so they could get back on the road. Although she was curious about what was in those bags.


Tony opened the car door and started handing her bags. He didn’t say a word until he was done giving her things and setting things in the back seat.

Emerald didn’t look in the bags he was handing her. She just held them on her lap, which was filling up quickly. She didn’t honestly care what was in them as long as it helped them out of this shit.

“This is some hair dye, colored contacts, some clothes neither one of us would wear. This is the best I can come up with in a short notice, but I think this will buy us some time.”

Emerald knew that either he had run for his life or he has helped others. This means he could be a police officer, or someone along those lines.

“I think this is enough for now too. I am sorry I got you into all this. Just think you could be back at your place having a cup of coffee or any other drink.”

She shook her head. This was not going to help them right now. She needed to keep her head in the game and that is what they were playing. The only difference is they were playing with lives.

“May I ask what the plan is? I mean we don’t know where they are or how Ashley is involved in this.”

He smiled at her for a minute then he pushed a strand of loose hair from her cheek and tucked it behind her ear.

“I think that your friend is going to be contacting you. She may not be the one to actually call you, but trust me she has a plan to pull you out of hiding.”

“You know I didn’t want to believe you that it was my best friend that set me up, but the more I think of things, and this feeling that keeps eating at me. I know you are right.”

“Emerald it is not about being right or wrong. I wish I could tell you something different. I know that it hurts to know someone you trusted with your life is the one trying to help take it.”

Tony shut the car door and started the engine. They could not just sit out in the open. They had to make some kind of move.

“We are going to stay at a hotel ten minutes from here, were about an hour outside of town. I think that should buy us sometime.”

She told him yes in a whisper. She knew this was the best way to go, but she was getting nervous now. She didn’t want to see anything happen to Tony because of her. She was the one that got in this mess; she needed to figure a way out.

While they were in the car, there was little conversation. They were both lost in their own thoughts. Emerald just kept trying to think of a way to get Tony away from her long enough for her to get in touch with Benny. She would deal with the consequences.

They pulled into a dirt parking lot. They had fifteen rooms, which were in a circle around the parking lot. It looked clean enough, but Emerald could tell this was where men brought their prostitute for a good time.

Tony parked the car as close to the office as he could. He ran inside to pay and get the room key. He was back in a flash. He pulled up to room five and shut off the car. He sat in the car staring at the room door. Tony did not say anything, but he was breathing hard.

Emerald wanted to touch his arm and ask him if he was okay, but she figured he would not like that, so she left him alone to deal with his problem.

“Let’s get in here so we can get this done with. Not meaning I want you to leave. I just mean to get to the bottom of this.”

They got out together and walked up to the door. It took them two steps to be at the room door. Tony unlocked the door and stepped back so Emerald could walk in first.

When they were inside the room, he turned around and locked the door behind them. He was looking out the window and checking to make sure the window in the bathroom is locked up tight.

She stood there watching him. He was like a caged animal that was being beat. You could see that he was angry, because his eyes turned almost fully black.

“You can take your shower first and dye your hair while you are in there, so when you come out and I go in the dye has time to sit.”

She nodded her head yes and walked across the room the bathroom. She was in need of this shower. She couldn’t wash her hair if she was using the hair dye.

She sat on the side of the rub putting her head in her hands. She was so confused about everything that was going on. She wanted to keep Tony safe but she knew he was not going to let it rest is she was there or not. He was involved now.

She turned on the shower hot enough the bathroom filled with steam fast. She made sure it was not to hot by trying it on her wrist. She said “okay perfect” to herself before stripping down to step inside. Before she stepped in, she unlocked the bathroom window and opened it a crack so she could feel some cool air.

As soon as the hot water hit her dirty skin, she sighed. She loved the hot water running down her body, washing away the dirt and grime of the last few days.

She poured shampoo in her hand so she could rub it through her hair when there was a knock on the door. She nearly dropped the shampoo bottle. Damn she hated being so jumpy.

“Yeah!” she said a little sharper then intended.

“I was making sure you were okay in there. You have been in there for awhile now.”

She was not ready to get out by any means, but she was going to rinse her hair and get out so he could get in and have hot water.

Emerald dressed back in the same clothes she had on because she left the clothes he just got out on the bed area and there was no way she was walking out there in a towel in front of him.

She got dressed and wrapped a towel around her head and opened door to the bathroom; the steam just rolling out behind her.

“It is now your turn. The water is nice.”

She continued to walk towards the bed to get the clothes when she remembered that they did not bring the bags in. They were out in the car where she left them. Before she could say anything or make a move towards the door. Tony grabbed her by the arm when she was walking by him. He reached up with his right hand and snatched the towel right off her head.

He stood there glaring at her. She forgot with all the thinking and confusion going on in her head she climbed in the shower and washed her hair.

“Why did you wash your hair? And where is the hair dye?” he snapped at her.

The way he snapped she knew he was pissed, but she forgot. It was routine to wash your hair in the shower.

“I am sorry I forgot. It is habit to wash my hair while I am in the shower. I will put the hair dye in my hair as soon as you finish with your shower,” she said weakly.

“Not going to work. This is supposed to be fast. We were only going to stay here for an hour, we don’t want them to be able to track us down this fast and be cornered here with nowhere to go.”

He pulled her with him towards the bathroom. He had one foot in the bathroom and his left hand wrapped around her small one.

“You can come in here and do it while I am in the shower, it will take less time this way and then we can get out of here.”

He did not give her time to complain or say no. He was already in the bathroom with the door closed with Emerald in there with him.

Emerald thought she was going to die from heart failure. Her heart was beating fast, she was having a hard time catching her breath, and she couldn’t open her mouth to speak. Her mouth felt like cotton.

He didn’t seem to care that she was in there with him. He got undressed facing the other way so his back was to her. She hurried up and opened the hair dye package so she could get out of
