FIREBALL

Chapter Four

I'm not normally a daddy's girl. Okay, maybe a little, but I believe I can do things on my own, I always feel like I can fight my battles on my own, but when it is a battle that involves my boss hating me and wanting me dead,  then I will be daddy's girl.

Mr Tulle tried to kill me in the washrooms because I caught him making out with Phoina. I'm not stupid enough not to notice he was the one that attacked me in the washrooms, then he sort of convinced or rather threatened Jax to act like he doesn't know what happened to me.

That is a very wrong move because by the time I'm done with him he will regret ever messing with the DCIs daughter.

My dad will crash him to nothing, and I will be there to enjoy and watch as everything unfolds.

"Because of the stunt you two just pulled, I'm withdrawing you two from the operation." He says as he limps around.

Oh my God!

So that's what he wanted? To pull us out of the operation?

He made a very wrong move.

Melody wants to say something but I hold her arm under the table and she stays quiet. She looks so pissed though.

"I will not entertain games in my station, now everyone get back to your offices!" He orders and everyone scrambles to leave the board room. Phoina gives me one look of spite accompanied by a smirk and walks out.

I hate that b***h.

Everyone is gone and I'm left back with Jaxon and Melody.

"What the hell just happened?" Melody asks as she pushes her seat back angrily.

I'm more pissed than she is so the best thing I can do is stay quiet because when I start talking anytime I'm mad I never stop. We don't want that right now.

"Cass, I'm sorry." Jax says as he comes to where we are, Mel stops him even before he can get closer to where I am.

"Really Jax? I thought you were better than this."

"He threatened me."

"Yea, whatever, get lost." He tries to walk past Mel but she holds him back with a push on his chest.

"If you see her quiet know she is more pissed than I am, you don't want her to talk because you won't like it."

She is sort of right, I feel like I'm burning inside with anger, I want to kick something, some people, and if Jax tries it with me he won't like even one bit of an angry me.

He walks away head down after murmuring another apology on his way out.

"Okay, Cass please explain to me what just happened in the last thirty minutes because I feel like a very big part of the drama has passed me by."

Mel is walking around nervously.

"Mr Tulle tried to kill me in the washrooms." She looks at me and her eyes shoot wide open.

"You think he was the one that attacked you?"

"I know he was the one that attacked me."

"Oh my God Cass, your life is in danger." I chuckle angrily.

I don't think so.

"In the contrary his life is in danger." He messed with the wrong person, I can't believe he'd try to kill me.

Like who even has the guts to do that?

When my mom died, my family was off limit, we sort of just got a free security pass, we were safe, no one could try to harm us, because well, dad made sure of that, and now five years after her death and he thinks he can try that s**t on me?

He is in for a surprise.

I will crash him like he never existed.

The door opens and I see Sankey walk in with a wide grin on his face. His face falls when he sees how devastated I look.

"Siz are you okay?"

I remember we were supposed to go somewhere.

I nod and hope he doesn't enquire some more because I don't want to explain.

"You don't seem okay, you look pale are you sick?"

He tries to feel my temperature but I slap his arm away, I'm not a baby.

"Whoa! Okay, you're definitely not okay."

"Sankey can I ask you something?" Mel asks him.

"Yea, sure."

"Does she look okay to you?"

"Of course not, I know my sister, and I want to know the son of a b***h that broke her heart so that I can physically break his, if that's possible." He says the last part in a low tone and I laugh despite myself.

Sankey is my elder brother but we normally look the same age, or rather I look older than him, but it's all my fault he eats healthy and keeps fit, I don't, I hate working out, I hate healthy food and I'm not always as happy as he is.

I don't know how he got over mom's death so fast, I've never moved on from her death and maybe that is one of the reasons I look older than him, the mere fact that he learnt to let go the depression and frustrations, I didn't, I let them eat me up.

"Good, now I want you to answer me one simple question." Mel tells him and I watch as he looks at her with narrowed eyes.

"Okay." He says in doubt.

I totally have no idea where this conversation is heading.

"I found her in the washrooms looking like she was from a battlefield, she was nose bleeding and she said someone attacked her."

"What? Siz are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I don't understand why Melody is making a fuss out of it, I don't want my brother being involved in any of this but there's really no way that I can stop her, once she starts talking she never stops.

"Sankey can you just pay attention for a minute?"

"Mel, if something happened to my sister just tell me whatever it is and stop beating around the bush." He sounds noted and honestly, I am too.

"The boss attacked her."

"Mel!"

"What?" We both say in surprise.

It wasn't her place to tell him. Plus, I still have my suspicions, so her saying it out loud in the office might make things even more worse.

Just then the door is opened and when I see who is at the entrance I freeze. Mr Tulle, no doubt he's heard us.

Now I won't even go on with my plan of revenge.

"Did I hear someone mention my name?" He says walking in striking steps towards us.

My heart is beating so fast, I have no idea what he is going to do to me. My brother doesn't look scared of him as Mel and I are. That's just how he normally is and I'm afraid he will get me in even more trouble.

"What just happened in your station Tulle?"

He asks him so confidently.

"It's Mr Tulle."

My brother chuckles sarcastically and takes a step forward towards him.

"No, you're not my boss, now I'd be in a better mood if you answered my question."

If there's one person that carried my father's confidence and no nonsense look it's Sankey. I'm more like my mom, not  look wise but in character. I wouldn't bother going after someone with such courage, I prefer letting things go and having a peace of mind, though this was the first time I wasn't going to let the attack go. This would actually be the first time to ask for my dad's help, but funny enough, seems like my brother has it handled already.

"You don't tell me how to run my station, just because you two are my boss's children, doesn't mean you get that power and confidence to talk to me like that, In here I'm the boss and I decide what happens in here." He turns to look at me and my move back scared.

"Now Cassidy I want you to keep your brother off this station, he only comes if I give out the permission and if you keep up the attitude, I'll have you transferred."

I wasn't intending to laugh but I laugh despite myself. He really does have the confidence, after trying to kill me in the washrooms.

I get out of my coiled position in the seat and the rage I've been holding on for long is now boiling.

"You know what?" I take a step towards him confidently.

"I'd rather work in another station, than work in here with a cheating psycho like you, you're such a disgrace to the society, who cheats on their wife with a crazy b***h like Phoina?"

I can't tell how fast it happens, but I feel as his fingers connect with my cheeks and there's is a sudden itch, what follows is my brother pouncing on him with a punch and he falls back, I'm so pissed off that I push my brother away and give him a kick on the stomach while he is on the floor.

How dare he slap me?

No one has ever slapped me, no one has that much power to lay their damn fingers on me, and he just did.

He tries to get up but I give him another kick and he groans in pain as he falls back. He should be glad my ankle boots aren't heeled, I would have crashed his eyes.

I lean towards him and when he tries to reach for his gun I punch him on the face and step on his arm. He groans again as I forcefully snatch the gun away.

Someone holds me on the shoulder and I quickly push them away, I realize it's my brother when he stumbles on the desks behind him.

I turn to look at Mr Tulle struggling to breath on the floor and it's when it hits me, what was I doing?

I let my anger take over.

My hands are shaking and I let his gun fall, I feel my knees go weak.

What have I done? A tear rolls down my cheeks and I can't control the rest of the tears that follow.

"Cass..." Mel calls.

"What have I done?"

"He is fine."

"I could have killed him." My voice is shaking. I let my anger take over. This is the first time in years that my rage took over and it's not good.

"But you didn't." My brother says as he checks on Mr. Tulle.

I'm trembling as the tears keep falling, I hope he is not dead because of me.

"Melody, get her out here, I will take care of this."

What does he mean he will take care of this? He is okay, right? He must be. Mr Tulle is surprisingly quiet on the floor. My brother checks on his impulse and I swear his face falls but he quickly composes himself.

"Sankey..."

"He is dead Cass."

"No, no, no."

"It was an accident Cass." Mel tries to calm me down but it's not helping. I hold my face in my hands and slide on the floor.

I killed him.

My life is over. I quickly stand up when realization hits me.

"I can't go to jail."

"You won't, it was an accident." My brother says but I ignore him and run to the door.

Mel is so fast, she locks the door before I can get out.

"You are acting on impulse Cass." I just want to get out of here. I'm more of panicking.

"Let me go Mel."

"Look at me!" She orders and I look at her.

"Running away won't solve anything, you stay here and we find a solution, the both of us, okay?" I nod, though reluctantly.

Sankey is on his phone moving around nervously.

"Sankey who are you calling?" Mel asks him as she leads me back into the room.

"I'm calling dad."

What?

We just killed someone and he thinks the first person he can call is our father? That man will kill me.

"Relax Cass he is the only one that can get us out of this mess."

"No Sankey, this is my mess, you guys didn't do anything to him, I can't drag you into this."

"Say what you wanna say but you're my sister, I have your back all the time."

A cough comes from the floor which make me jump as my heart races. Mr Tulle is coughing continuously as he tries to get up from the floor.

He is not dead!
