Black Sheep

No Rules

Rue was at work after getting out of detention. She needed to get away from school. Trent and Vince got on her nerves especially her brothers. She couldn't see how they do it being popular and all. She avoided them at lunch and in the hallways. Vince sat in front of her in class. He would grab her hand and wink at her. She would just give him a blank stare.

"Can I kick his ass? Just once please! because he is doing some unreasonable stuff to you Rue. Plus you need the money for your apartment." Bennett told Rue as she walked to her station.

"He is just being,"Rue sighed and put her snap back on backwards. "Unreasonable for no reason what so ever. Just because I 'disrespected' him in the elevator that morning."

"I'm glad you were able to come into work today."

"Me too Uncle me too." Rue got a gun and started to warm up. She shot disk and targets. Her and Tank had shooting contest. She was waiting for her student.

Jason Morgan arrived at Rue's job. Hearing the gun shots and laughter. He walked in to face Bennett Caldwell. Bennett could tell who he was by his walk and his arrogance showed. He sat behind the counter.

"Hello Welcome to my shooting range and gun store how may I help you?"Bennet put a fake smile on his face.

"Yes I would like to get a lesson."

"How long?"

"An hour."

"$40." Jason paid the forty and Bennett walked him back. He saw Rue and Tank shooting. When he saw his daughter shooting that gun and hitting the target with grace just for fun he just wanted to snatch her from the job.

"Last Shot Tank give it all you got!"Rue said.

"I'm going to get a comeback!"

"Haha you wish." Rue smiled until she got and uneasy feeling. Like a presence was just getting through her skin.

"Tank!" Tank and Rue turned around. Her blood started to boil when she saw her father. She turned back around and started to shoot. Not wanting to look at him.

"Yes sir."Tank stood in front of Bennett and Jason.

"I want you to teach Jason Morgan how to shoot." Jason wasn't focused on Tank he was focused on Rue. Darren and Devin were right about how she shot. She shot with grace and persistence. Jason could feel the tension. He hasn't seen his daughter in a month and this is how she reacted when she saw him. He was very disappointed.

"Actually I want her to teach me." Jason pointed to Rue.

'No this motherfucker didn't just ask for me to teach him.' Rue could here them. She fired 10 more shots and kept ignoring her father.

"Are you sure sir, she is pretty hostile." Rue wasn't hostile to Bennett he just didn't want to see Rue blow up.

"Yes."

"Rue!" Bennett ran over to Rue. Rue stood in shooting position. He put and hand on her shoulder and bent her head down a little to hear him.

"Now I know you see your father here. Just try to keep you composer don't blow up if you need me just call me." Bennett told her she nodded and put the gun down. Taking off the protective glasses and ear plugs. She walked slowly with Bennett to her father.

"Hello Rue." Jason said with a smirk on his face.

"Tank bring me 2 shot guns get extra bullets." Tank ran to go get them.

"You sure you going to be ok Rue?"

"I'm going to be fine Uncle Caldwell. Ti chiamo se qualcosa non va solo andare. Cercherò di essere calmo."

"fare del tuo meglio tesoro si sa come arrabbiati si può ottenere. Vado a controllare su di te angelo più tardi."

"Ok Uncle I'll do my best."Rue turned to face her father. Jason saw nothing on Rue's eyes. Nothing but hidden anger and the dangerous vibe coming from her. She took her hat off and turned it backwards.

"Why do you call him uncle he is not your uncle. You have 3 uncles remember? My 2 brothers and your mother's brother?"Jason questioned his daughter.

"That is none of your business Jason."

"Jason? I'm your father you should be calling me dad."

"You stop being my father when you let people talk shit about. Even my own grandmother when I didn't even do anything. And you want me to call you dad? You done lost your mind Jason." Tank ran back to Rue with the guns. She grabbed the shot guns and bullets.

"Look Rue, I'm sorry I put you through that. I want you to quit this job and move back home where you belong."

Rue laughed bitterly. "You want me to move home to a judgmental ass mother who superficial business bitch, brothers who don't like me will trade me for hitler, then there is you who thinks I'm a disgrace and who wanted all boys but came out with me. You hate me and you want me to come back home? Whatever. I'm not quitting my job it's the only thing that can calm me now. So please Jason save it."Jason stood in shock. His daughter looked him straight in the eye. Every word she said was true and cut him even more deep. Wait a minute wasn't she supposed to obey? She was the daughter and he was the father. Yet she still didn't give a damn and that was truly awesome to her.

"Rue I don't want you working here is dangerous."Jason watched her has she turned her back and shot the gun.

"I have been working here since I was sixteen. It's not dangerous to me."

"You been working since sixteen?"

"Yea when you decided to not get me anything for Christmas I got a job. Pays pretty good."

"To the point that your staying in Eagle Point."

"You bet your damn skippy."Rue shot the gun once more.

"The twins told me, why can't we forget about this?"

"Because in the past years I have been beaten, slapped, punched, bullied by irrelevant ass bullied including my brothers, I know how to be on my own. I don't forget about anything. Want to forgets something well forget about me coming home or me for that matter."

"True Morgan! You listen to me your coming home. If you don't I swear to god."

"What your going to hit me like you did 4 years ago."

"I told you I was sorry!"

"You slapped me into a dresser! You kicked me in the process!" Tears started to form in Rue's eyes.

"Rue please!"

"Leave me alone go away!" Rue ran to the break room.
