I'm sorry

Ace's POV (thank me later)

"I can't believe you let her come." I growl at Keith as I shoot my anger out on one of Maxwells men.

"She wanted to come," He yells back. "Plus it's not like she isn't armed."

"It's not the fucking point, she hasn't been practicing for very long Keith." I duck behind a wall to stay hidden as he does the same.

"Saids the guy who wouldn't even know." He sends me a raised brow. "She's worked her ass off Martinez, I think she's got this."

"Whatever." I scoff, I look around the corner again to see if it was clear before walking down in.

"Why do you care anyway?" He asked following me.

"I don't need to explain."

"Oh come on Ace, there has to be a reason to why you get so hot-headed about her."

I don't answer, I look around the next corner to see it was clear again and kept walking.

"Don't answer then." I heard Keith mumble.

"Look, I don't know what it is Keith, I really don't. But all I know is.. things are.. different. That's all;" My shoulders shrugged.

"Mm sure it is." He shakes his head, I stop in my tracks and glare at him.

But he continues to walk, I scoff and follow behind him.

"We shouldn't even be talking about her." I comment a few minutes later.

"Yet you brought it up."

"Because I was pissed off!"

"Because you care–" He smirks at me, I don't deny it. "Look there's nothing wrong with liking Chantelle. But you've got responsibilities you need to take care of first."

"I know and I'm trying." I say as I stare at his back.

"I know you are–"

We come to the end of a corridor before Keith stops and motions me to stop with him. We heard whistling coming from one end of the other corridor that connect onto the one we were in.

Keith looks around and I wait for his signal to attack, he puts his hands in the car and counts down with them silently.

As soon as he reaches one I hop out from behind him and grab the guy, before strangling him. He went down without a fight.

Keith scoffs, "God they're weak."

I shake my head at the body and keep walking to the way he was coming.

Maxwell had a huge place there was no doubt about that.

He was ready for war.

And so was I.
