Chapter 23 - It Was Juadia

I suddenly see my phone die and look up at the driver. Panic rushing through my veins. I break out in a cold sweat. "Excuse me, You can drop me off here." I see the guy turn around for the first time. He looks normal but something seems off. I get a weird scare from him. "I'm sorry little miss but I can't do that." I realize that the red and blue lights on the cars up ahead aren't police lights, they are LED attach-ons and I realize there are back words on the cars but not the words P.O.L.I.C.E. It says 'Dark Horse'. I'm not entirely sure what that means but I don't want to find out. I see men get out of the cars. They are all dressed in black and they're faces are covered. I grab a charger from my purse and quickly try to plug in my phone but the driver stops me. He grabs me by my arm causing me to drop my phone."No, no I apologize but that won't work it's too late for that. What a catch I've got here. I've got to be careful though," the man says, pulling up his hood. "This one's quite famous." I panic. OH NO! "I, I've got cash, $60. It's not much but I promise I can get more." "Oh please, the person paying me to murder you is paying 16 hundred, nothing you can give will amount to that!" He pulls out a knife. I shiver, am I actually going to die. Who would want to kill me? Nara, no, who! I close my eyes and suddenly the car door swings open and someone pulls me out of the car."ZEILICI!" Kyle quickly scoops me up and into his arms as the driver curses and tries to drive away but the police are already there to stop him. "Who sent you!" Kyle demands before they arrest him. A girl, he tsks, named Jaudia." I freeze and hold my head, what? How. I've known Jaud since 4th grade. She's my best friend. I know we've been arguing but how could she. How could she attempt to end my life, over something so stupid. I can't help but cry uncontrollably. "Zeilici," he says softly, "Don't cry he's gone, they are arresting him." "That's not it," I sob. "Do you know who this Jaudia girl is?" He asks. I nod. "Do you want me to kill her?" He says coldly. I stop crying, "What?" I shiver. "How dare she, she deserves to-" "No!" I put my hands over his mouth to keep him from saying those words again. They pain me for some odd reason. Juad was my best friend. She just tried to kill me but I can't bring myself to hate her. I'm not sure why. "I, she was my best friend. I don't want her to die ." I sob. He looks surprised. He coughs a little. I notice his face is red as well. This is probably a very awkward situation for him. I'm suddenly surprised by him embracing me. "Kyle?" "Listen. I like you Zeilici, so please don't cry. I don't like to see that."
