Denver and Raven looked at the older woman. It was clear they need to convince her they are honorable in their intent.“What do you need to know that would convinced you to help us” Denver asked reaching for Raven’s hand.“Who are you really?” she asked flatly.“My name is Denver Ricardo. I always thought I was a certain type of person. Then there was suddenly these people entering my life. I am very wealthy. I understand you are the guardian of lost people. I can help you with immediate effect.”“No one can truly leave this city. I have tried.” Moon Dark said sounding anxious in remembering.”“This town was built on lies and deceit. Just like you I want to leave but I want my whole family. Please help us.”“Mother, I promise the girl will be safe. My son has already plotted the perfect escape. We can take you all along but at first, we need the girl.”“Hello, you fools?” McAllen giggles when he noticed the collective was looking at him.“McAllen, name your price.” Vincent Saint-Clair
"I really hope I am not going to run into Billy-Bob and his underdogs. I don't want to end my day ruined." he said to himself before smiling. "I can't believe Lisa Klein is my girlfriend." Danny smiles to himself again. "At least today I will get paid then I would treat her like the princess she is." He pick up speed wanting to get this day over. He has a date. Danny instantly knew the moment he made a huge mistake; stepping into the locker room…the camera was rolling; the primary focus the star of the school; quarterback; Billy-Bob… “Get that fucker…” Billy-Bob screamed in fury. He just managed to found the perfect moment to capture his newly develop muscles. “I…I am sorry,” Danny start but a punch in the stomach silence him. He felt his body being lifted from the floor. The football equipment dropped loudly on the locker room floor. “Please…don’t,” Danny begs feeling the dizziness grabbing around his head. “Shut up,” Sam said looking for approval toward Billy-Bob. “Where do you
“Lisa…” Danny just looked at the semi-nakedness of the girl he always thought as the most gorgeous girl. He always treated her with the utmost respect. “What the hell are you doing here, Danny?” openly furious at him. She steps from the shower adjusting her clothes. “Are you following me?” “What are you saying?” He was behind her in conversation. He shook his head trying to focus his mind. “Really Danny…I never thought you were the stalker type?” “Enough, Lisa.” “Excuse me, Danny. You don’t talk to me like that.” “What is this all about Lisa?” “What are you talking about?” she asked innocently. Danny shakes his head. He had been making sacrifices for her but it seems she had been playing him the fool. Now that he starts to think; it was curious her being interested in him. The doubt was building inside him but the heart was fighting its own battle too. “This isn’t what you think, Danny.” She said looking directly at him. He can’t believe his ears. Beautiful Lisa Klein lying
Danny knew things would have been different if he was rich, but being poor and without money. It's all these people cares about. His body shook with anger and despair. He walk to the bar just outside of town. The money still clamped in his hand. His mind kept replaying what had happened to him. As he enters the bar, a couple of lifers looked curiously at him. He sits down at the nearest chair. “What can I get you?” the bartender stood in front of him. “What happened to your face?” “A bitch,” he suddenly snarl smacking the money on the counter. “Mild…hard…harsh…” the big man asks. “Huh,” Danny looked openly confused. “I got you, dude.” Danny watch him place a Beer in front of him. The door opened behind him. The rowdy footballers enter. He reached for his bottle of beer and took a giant swallow. He instantly chokes making the men close to him laughed softly. “Buy us a brandy and talk to us, boy.” The two men comes and sits down on both sides of him. He shrugs his shoulders befor
“Denver…” “Yes, sir.” Danny looked curiously at his father. Then at his grandfather. Both men watched him intently. “You have come of age. My son, I don’t want to humiliate you but I want to know what had happened last night.” Daniel looked seriously at his boy. “Do I have to tell you, sir?” “Yes, my boy. I would appreciate this.” The father openly wait curious if he has future trust with his son. “Sir, I was attack at school but that I can handle…” He looked away feeling fury and shame. “Lisa…she played me for a fool. I was just a bet gone wrong.” He felt his skin burn with inner heat. “What are you going to do?” “I am not sure yet.” Danny admits honestly. Denver senior suddenly stood up. He walked towards his grandson and simply place his hand a moment on his shoulder. “You are part of the Ricardo clan. Take your time and find your feet. This is your path…know us when you need us.” He nods his head to his own son before he left. “Denver…” “Yes, sir.” He took the offered m
Danny climbed from the taxi in the center of Ricardo-Saint-Claire. He never even considered to come to this part of the town. Where he grown up everyone knows the rich and powerful lives and work here. He never even considered the possibility of being part of this society.“Dude, are you sure?” the taxi driver asked. “Why?” Danny realized he truly looked out of place. “Just checking.” Danny said nothing just paid him along with a generous tip. He slowly start to browse the luxury shops. The moment he step into a shop he noticed the salespersons looked at him like he was trash. Everything was extraordinary expensive. He always thought he knew Lisa but now he was uncertain what to get her. “Hello how may I help you?” the salesperson comes closer but also kept her distance. Apparently afraid his poorness might rub off on her. Her attitude was the norm where he was from. Danny just looked at her. The words feels stuck in his throat. He quickly turned around and run from the shop. Once
Danny knew he was making a mistake. He also realized he needed closure. Lisa Klein was his first girlfriend…or so he thought. That was also part of the reason he entered this luxury shops. He instantly saw the shock then disgust on her face. “What are you doing here?” she asked stepping away from Jason. “I told you the loser will come sniffing around, Lisa.” Jason said with barely controlled anger. “Jason…I told you there was nothing between us. Stop being jealous.” “Get out,” Jason approached him. He grabbed him in front of the shirt. He intend to throw him out of the shop. Lisa start to laugh looking him up and down. Her true emotions clearly reflected on her face. She quickly step up to Jason and whispered in his ear. Both start to laugh. “You might be right Lisa.” Jason looked at him with disdain. “Are you stalking Lisa?” he challenged. “No…no…” Danny was startled. He doesn’t need trouble from the police. He has forgotten for now that he could in reality destroy both by clai
Lisa Klein was a girl raised to chase only the best provider. It took time and much effort before she landed Jason Clarke. She knows he sometimes step out on her. It was acceptable as long as everyone knows she was his girlfriend. “How is this possible?” she asked herself softly. “Just yesterday he was poor now today he can afford the most expensive item in the shop.” She stood motionless letting the last two weeks played off in her mind…Danny always picking her up at the entrance of the road leading towards their little house snuggly hidden between the heavy tree branches. She always made certain not one of her friends ever saw them together. She quietly admits she did enjoy the outings on the little boat in the lake in their background. She remembered ‘him’ making her laugh like she used too when she was a little girl. “Danny…” she whispered his name. She suddenly like the taste of his name on her tongue. She slowly start to realized she made a mistake…Jason was the obvious choice
