• "Janice, I need your help!"

    That was all Eric needed to say for me to come running. And so it leads where I am now. On the back of a Red Bull Honda trying to free the girl who has the man of my dreams. I was at the starting line. Wondering at every second, how the hell did I get myself into this mess?

    I didn't even ask what kind of help he needed. How stupid of me! All because I was insanely in love with him to the point where I'd do anything for him. So I went along with whatever he asked me to do, not even once asking who we were fighting against. I was supposed to be just a witness at the time of the deal and watch the race. That was all he asked for, someone neutral, someone who had nothing to do with the gangs.

    But he was wrong.

    The meeting was held at the basement in a bar I only knew so well. Every gang meetings were held there. On the way, Eric and his friends tried to explain the rules of the gangs to me but they had no idea that I knew everything. In fact, I knew much more than them.

    I might be the type of girls that is categorized as a socialite but my past is way more complicated. I was a gangster and I had hoped to keep that a secret…especially from Eric. He doesn’t like mixing with gangster things but he has no choice for now.

    “Thanks, Jan, for doing this,” he said before we stepped into the land of doom. Maybe that’s why I was in such a daze that I didn’t realize what was coming for me.
