The Italian Mob

Chapter 7

Waking up the next day to my alarm like always, I got up and went to the shower. No one was up, so I didn't have to wait. After my shower I went to my room to get dressed with a tower around me. I grabbed out Adidas sweat pants and a tank top, after I got dressed I went back to the bathroom to brush my hair. I left my hair down and brushed my teeth. I went to my room and was trying to figure out what to do for my day off on this Sunday. No one was still awake, so I looked over at the desk, I guess I would draw. I walked over and sat down in the chair shocked at how comfortable it was. I opened the sketchbook and grabbed a pencil, I let my hand start to go to work and a face I had in my mind. My door was wide open so I could hear people getting up and moving around. I walked over to my radio I had taken with me everywhere. I put on my favorite song XXXTENTACION - Moonlight (Nin9 Remix) (BASS BOOSTED), I turned it up so I couldn't hear what was going on outside. 

We were in a different section of the house from Eran so I knew it wouldn't bother him, I didn’t care about anyone else in this place, I just didn’t want to get killed by Eran and fail my mission. I finished the first drawing after Travis Scot played, now Yummy by Justin Bieber was playing and I started my next drawing. The first one was a demon, one of the teachers I had but with horns and completely black eyes. This next one I was working on was a memory from my childhood, the orphanage with trees and mounts in the back of it. All I had was black pencils so I had to make it work, but I could tell I hadn't lost my touch. Freefall by Paapi Muzik started playing, I heard someone come out of the bathroom not far from my room and walk down the hall towards my room. I didn't look up to see who was now standing at my door, leaning on the door frame, I didn’t have to. I knew it was Mark, but why he was standing there and watching me draw was beyond me. I finished the drawing of the orphanage and turned the page, just then he walked away and looked over to make sure he was gone. 

After a couple of hours I went to the gym to work out, needing to stay in shape with this job. You never know when something is going to happen or get thrown your way.`I asked one of the people that were working outside to get some people to train with me after a while or doing weights. He said he knew exactly who to get, so I waited for him to come back, noticing the people he had gotten were the others that were off today. We started in the fighting positions and started to train. They seemed to be strong but I was fast and had some strength on my side as well. I took them down fast and faster as they got tired. I could do this all day but it was clear they couldn’t. I saw Eran watching through the door with a smile on his face, I smiled back at him when I looked over and bowed. He laughed and walked off, I then noticed Mark was right behind him and the smile I had disappeared. I turned around to the others and helped them up asking if they wanted to train every Sunday, to my surprise they all said yes and off to their days off. 

I was going to take a shower but I hadn't even broken a sweat, I went to my room and got dressed into pajamas and went down to the break room we had that was also our kitchen. I put on a movie that was about supernatural not caring what anyone thought.  I looked over to see a pool table, some of the other guys that had trained with me came in and asked if I wanted to play pool with them. I couldn’t turn down the offer and started to play, they had taught me how and I sucked. 

“We finally found something we are better at than you.”

“Yea, well I have never been around one before.”

“You have been doing this for a long time huh? I mean the guard thing.” 

“You could say that.”

“Well thank you for coming, if you even need anything or just want to hang out we are here. It’s nice to have someone as a friend.”

“I wouldn’t Know about that either.”

“Well now you do.”

I couldn't help but joke around with them and keep playing the game with them. I can say it was fun to have friends and have people I can joke with. I enjoyed the moment and found out these guys were forced into this life through the family they had. They were good people and scared of Eran for good reason. I told them I didn’t have family thinking it didn’t matter if they knew and it was in my file as well that they had. 

“So Patty is your name huh?”

“Yep”

“Well that susk’s”

“It’s not too bad.”

They laughed and I learned their names as well, Clark and Sam, it was getting late when Mark walked in and everyone stopped laughing and just looked over at him. Mark went over to the fridge and graded the water walking back out.

“So, do you guys not like him either?”

“No, that guy is an ass. Has been since he came here.”

“How long ago?”

“About three months ago.”

“Well I guess I’m going to bed on that note. Night guys” 

I walked out and up to my room, I saw Mark leaning up against the wall next to his door. I walked past him and into my room, his room was right next door to mine, I had never noticed that before. I got dressed and climbed into bed ready for the next week to come.
