"And if I don't?" Aaliyah looks back up at Ivan.
"I'm sure you will" he says before turning and Aaliyah eyes the guns that sat on the counter. "I wouldn't think about it Liyah." He says knowing what she would do.
"Listen, we need these to survive" she argued back and he sighs.
"Why don't you go to Alastor then?" He asks and Aaliyah stiffened.
"No way" she messes with her knife and Ivan eyes it.
"You still have it?" He questions and Aaliyah only glares.
"It doesn't matter." She retorts and he puts his hands up in fake fear.
"I was just asking" he puts his hands down "but seriously you aren't welcomed here. But I'm sure Al would help you" he starts "for old time sakes" he mocked and Aaliyah scrunches up her nose in anger but he couldn't see cause of the mask.
"Don't they only sell bombs?" Aaliyah asked and he nods.
"Isn't that more useful than guns?" He questions and Aaliyah side eyes the guns.
"I wouldn't even know where to find them" she adds.
"I can show you" he offers and Aaliyah bites her lip under the mask thinking.
"Sure"
< Rae's POV >
In the end I untied the suspect and I raise a eyebrow at them "What's your name?" I ask and I could see them shake a little.
"Emma" the girl repeated and I help them up while giving them stuff.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asks me and I nod.
"I can't believe Aaliyah would lie straight to my face for this long" I breathe out and Emma gave a worried look.
"You sent her to the shed out in Laguna right?" She asks me and I hum.
"If Ivan didn't kill her already I'll make sure I do" I grit my teeth.
< Alastor's POV >
I whistled lowly while collecting water from the creek. "Al" a voice shocks me and I turn but see familiar curls of dark ginger and by his side.
"Aaliyah, Ivan. God it's one hell of a shocker to see you two together. You guys friends now?" I ask and Aaliyah just stares blankly at me.
It was hard to read her expression cause of the mask but Ivan just shook his head. "Ah alright" I gave a short laugh. "Well what are you doing on this side of the creek? What about ur shop?" I question Ivan.
"I left my niece to watch it. She'll handle it, and plus you have a customer" Ivan side eyed Aaliyah.
"You want bombs?" I ask Aaliyah and she sighed.
"Yes" she responded to me.
"Alrighttt" I press my lips together "well follow me!" I chirp while leading them to my base.
"So any of you guys uhh" I stumble "anything new?" I change the question.
"Aaliyah here is a murderer" Ivan stuffs his hands into his pockets and I shiver.
I was giving a bomb to a murderer?
"Isn't everyone nowadays? You aren't so innocent yourself knife boy" she retorts and I could feel the tension build up.
