Gem and I

Chapter 1 - Good to be back

Marzanna pov

Man it feels good to breath fresh air again.

I stop by my favorite pizza spot to grab a slice and some wings.

"Hey! Z! Welcome back girl!"  The owner Bernie said.

I smirk "It's good to be back. Can I have my usual?"

"Of course! One slice of cheesy pepperoni with buffalo hot wings. Coming right up."

*Ring ring*

My phone started playing Loyalty by kendrick lamar and rihanna.

I said I'm geeked and I'm fired up (fired, fire)
All I want tonight is just get higher (high, high, high)
Girl, you look so good, it's to die for (die for)
Ooh, that pussy good, it's to die for

This ringtone was for one person only. The Boss.

"Hello.,"

"Kid! Nice to hear from you!,"

"Boss. What do you need?," I question.

"Nothing.-," he said sing-songy.

"Boss. You only call when you need something. What is it?

"Jeez kid! I've taken care of you since you were 14 at least call me Jericho."

*Ignores that*

"What is it?"

"There's a job. I need your help, kid."

"Damn! I just got out. You at least could've given me a day."

"I know. But this is worth it. You pull this off and you can retire at the age of 19."

"Where should we meet?"

"That's my girl!" He says in a proud fatherly tone," At the warehouse."

"Give me 20 minutes."

"Okay. Just in case. Bring a "friend".

I hang up and grit my teeth in irritation.
There's something he isn't telling me. If it's just the normal crew why bring a "friend"? Unless there's a new crew? Or it's not the crew at all.

"Z?," Bernie said.

"I'm good." I say handing him a ten.

He grabs my hand curling it into a fist.

"It's on the house. Stay out of trouble." He says handing me a bag.

I smile" That's impossible bernie. Trouble loves me too much."

"And you love it."

I hop on my motorcycle and drive to my apartment.
