Q'anna

It's been hours and we've been hanging here just anticipating when and what we have to do.

"𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑑!, 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑚 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑒"

"𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑒 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓, 𝑖𝑚 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑜. 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑'𝑠 𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟. 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑒.

We all nod.

"𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑜𝑛 𝑖 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑦 𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑠"

"𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑑 𝑎 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑎𝑡"

"𝑈𝑛 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚"

I feel the rope loosening from my hands. We all embrace in a hug.

They direct us to the club and we get to work.

Technically we aren't supposed to dance on anybody and they can't touch us. Out job is to just see if Kenton pops up that way we can set him up and be released.

I go back and forth from the bar stand and customers to serve them their drinks.

I guess they really like me because I'm getting mad tips.

"𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑟, 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒 𝑖 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢?" I say putting on my fake white lady voice.

He shakes his head yet motions for me to sit on his lap.

"𝑆𝑖𝑟 𝑖𝑚 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟/ 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢" i exclaim over the music.

He doesn't respond, I turn to walk away and as soon and that happens I was was pushed back and landed in his lap.

I never realized until now that he has on a hoodie, but I can't seem to make out his face.

I apologize and try to get up from him, he has a steady grip on my thigh and a knife to the back of my neck.

I relax and try to not let me nerves get the best of me, I can see Lante intently watching waiting to make a move.

"𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑙 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑟ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑘𝑎𝑦, 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢"

My whole body tensed as I recognize the voice.

I look over back at Lante and gave him a thumbs up with my left hand. I motioned my eyes to my right hand and did the signal I taught him for if I was in danger. He catches on and acts normal.

I watch as he goes to serve other customers. I know he'll be okay and he will notify the others.

"𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑤, 𝑤𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑒, 𝑄'𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑎"

I nod. "𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒?"

He laughs " 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑘 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙. 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑜"

"𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑜?"

"𝐻𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ"

I gasp. If he did that, then that means!

"𝐸𝑥𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑙𝑦, 𝑖 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑖 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝. 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒. 𝑇𝑟𝑦 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑚𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒"

I don't know what to do, what if he's lying? What if this is a set up?

"𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑖 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙?"

"𝑇𝑜𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑚𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑠"

I hesitate but do as he asks. I rub my finger between and I feel the scar of the bullet that went through his head.

"𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑄'𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑎 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑚𝑒, 𝑖 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑖 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢, 𝑖𝑚 𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑦  𝑖 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑏𝑒𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝐽𝑢𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑚𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑢𝑝 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢!" he exclaims.

This is too much how tf?!

"𝑂𝑘𝑎𝑦 𝑖 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠, 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑"

"𝑌𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔"

"𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒, 𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑢𝑝 6 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟"

He nods. "𝐼'𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤, 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑜 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡"

I get up and go back to serving customers, this can't be fucking real.

If Desmond is alive, and Drako tried to kill him. He was set up.
