GONE

CHAPTER 14

Everyone was there now, Martin, Christy, Nessa, Jo, Andy, the twins, Bill, Rodriguez and even Rick, everyone but Serena.

"I am going to kill her"

Everyone smiled at Christy's comment.

"You know her, Christy," Andy said, "When you force her to do something, she has to be late"

"Yeah, and when you don't force her, she also comes late" Ryan added.

"So, Rick," Nessa said trying to make them stop talking about Serena, "Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Why are you here?"

"I wasn't a good person in LA so I was transferred"

Martin let out a sarcastic laugh, which was met by a raised eyebrow from Rick, "Have a problem?" Rick said

"No, no, continue, please"

"How is LA?" Chris said when he felt the tension.

"It's amazing," Rick said with a smile "luxury, fun and everything that you want in one place"

"Of course, you wish that you could go back" Ryan commented.

"Won't you?"

"Why do you think that a good life should be led in those fancy cities? I mean I love Countyville" Andy said.

"And what do you prefer? The weirdness of the events or being locked in the middle of nowhere" Ryan asked.

"What weird events?" Rick asked with confusion.

Ryan Widened his eyes, "No one told you yet, come on people the man has to know what he will face"

"Hello, you miserable creatures," Serena said with a smile on her face.

"Look who decided to show up," Christy said between gritted teeth.

"Well, I was waiting for you to grab me from my hair," Serena said taking a chair and sitting between The Twins and in front of Martin and Rick. She sat like the cops in TV again and Rick had to smile.

"Ha ha," Christy said, "I am not kidding, where were you?"

She sighed, "I was talking with Commissioner James, OK"

"Really, did it go well?"

"Of course not, when does anything go well with him?"

"You are really being unfair to him," Bill said.

"What is it with you people and defending him?"

"Because you are wrong, Serena," Jo said, "He was going to kill Gonzalez today"

"What are you talking about?" Serena answered with confusion.

"When I showed him the evidence today he asked Gonzalez to tell him what really happened," Bill continued, "when Gonzalez didn't answer, he grabbed him from his collar and pushed him to the wall and then Gonzalez sang like a bird"

"You want me to believe," Serena said, "that Commissioner James Walker lost his temper"

"We don't want you to believe" Jo responded, "You have to believe, we were all there, right guys"

Everyone nodded and silence filled the table for a while.

"How is life with Bill?" Ryan asked Rick trying to kill the silence.

"I don't live with him"

"Why?"

"Have you seen his place?"
