Saints HQ
"After months of killing and blowing shit up we have finally managed to drive away the Syndicate and S.T.A.G. out of our city." A roar of cheering fills the room as the saints cheer the word of their boss. " So now we celebrate." Music starts to blast out from the speakers as everyone starts to dance and party.
"Hey boss you sure were not going to be attacked by anymore stripper assassins." Shaundi. says as she walks over to me.
"Ok haha that was not my fault blame zimos he's the one who got them." I reply That was a fun party until the hoes started to shot at us. "Where's the rest of the gang?"
"Pierce and zimos are having chilling with the hoockers. Oleg and Knize are talking over in the corner. Angle didn't come something about not stopping until Killbane is dead."
"What about Viola?"
"Don't know don't care." Shaundi replies clearly annoyed at the mention of Viola
"Shaundi like it or not she's a Saint now you have to try and get along with her." I try to reason with her in a calm manner but it is starting to get annoying how she can't get over the fact that Viola is one of us now.
"Johnny's dead because of her. So no I won't try to make nice with her." She shouts and then storms off over towards some of the recruits. I see her point but it's not like Viola shot Johnny. It was her boss and I flattened with a huge ball.
I walk over to the bar and grab a drink. I probably should talk to Pierce and Zimos about the chance of the hookers trying to kill us. Again. As I'm walking over I look out the window and see someone sitting on the edge of the helipad all by alone. As I came closer to the helipad I could see the person more clear. " Hey Viola. You okay"
Not turning to look at me she says "Yeah I'm fine boss. Just thinking. You can go back to the party now." From the way she spoke I could clearly tell she is not ok. I move and sit next to her and see she has been crying. " Boss I'm fine you don't need to sit next me."
" Okay a couple of things. Firstly your not fine I can tell you've been crying. Second when someones says there fine they're lying and lastly I might want to just sit next to you." I smile at her and she show a slight smile of a second before it goes again. " Viola you can talk to me you know. If something's upsetting you talk to be about it.
She turns her face to fully face me "I'm fine just thinking about my sister and what she would say to be about me being a Saint." Of course killbane killed her sister and now we are having a party just after we let him escape.
"What was she like. Your sister." She looks surprised. Probably didn't think I would care enough to ask her about this.
"Kiki was my everything. When I was growing I didn't have that many friends. She was my only friend for a long time. She was the confident outgoing one out of the two of us. In college she would go to all the parties while I stayed in. I never fitted in with people there but she did. You lot would have loved her. She's just like you guys. Brave funny smart and a little crazy. The best thing about her was even though she was busy she would always look out for me. When I was bullied she beat them up. She protected me from everyone. Even Eddie. And that's what got her killed." She looked away from because she had started crying.
As she's turning a way I grabs her and pull her into a hug. She froze at first but them relaxed and started to cry into my shoulder. "Im sorry v. if it wasn't for me she would be alive. She sounds like a great person and I promise you we will find Killbane and when we do he is yours. I'll make it up to you I promise"
She slightly pulls back from me so were face to face but is still holding on to be me. " It's not your fault that's she's dead. Eddie killed her. Not you, and you don't have to make it up to me. You let me into the Saints even though I was part of the gang you were fighting. You owe me nothing boss.
" Jason."
" What." If she's trusting me with all of her sister death then I know I can trust her with my real name.
"My names Jason." The look of shock on her face is priceless. But I do understand it. No one in the gang knows my real name expect Kenzie and Johnny. Hell the cops don't even know my name. " Don't tell anyone that."
"Why not. It's a good name and it suits you. What's so wrong with having everyone know your name." She has a point. Nothing would be wrong with people knowing my name it's just no one never asked. Everyone calls me boss.
" I don't know one has ever asked me my name they just called my kid or playa when I first joined and then boss."
"Well Jason your secret is safe with me." She then rests her head on my shoulder and we look out into Steelport. When I first came here I realized this place is a lot worse of than Stillwater and harder to take over. But I kinda like it here more than Stillwater. The city has more life.
"Hey Boss you out here." Me and viola turn to see Pierce standing next to the pool.
"Yeah I'm over here" I shout back as I stand up. Then I turn to help Viola up who takes my hand. Then we walk over to him. As were walking I notice everyone has gone and there isn't any music playing. " Hey what happened to the party.
"Boss its four am the party finished and everyone left." What it was only eleven when I came out to speak to Viola. " Anyways I'm heading off now. See ya Boss." He starts walking over to the elevator.
"Hey Pierce." He stops walking and looks over to me. "My names Jason. See ya tomorrow."
"Right okay see ya Jason" I clearly caught him off guard with that. As he enters the elevator I look at Viola who's smiling at me.
"So your telling everyone your name now. I don't feel special anymore." She smiling and I found myself smiling too. " I guess I should head off now as well."
"Since it late you can crash here tonight. If... if you want to that is." Why am I so nervous all of a sudden.
" Thanks Jason I would but if I was to stay I would have to help you clean this place up. I don't live that far away I'll be fine." She turns and starts to leave when she stands waiting for the elevator she turns and says " And thanks for earlier. You didn't have to listen to me or miss the party for me.
"Don't thank me it was nice talking to you. And for the party there will be more." I start to walk over to her
"I Bet. Have fun cleaning. Bye Jason." The doors open and she walks in
"Bye Viola." I say as the doors close. I look around the crib. Wow I have a lot to clean up.
Viola's Apartment
Viola's pov
Home sweet home. The party wasn't what I was expecting. Normally I sit on my own while everyone has fun. Well that was the same until Jason came over to me. I still can't believe he trusted me enough to tell me his real name and then told Pierce. I like to think its I told him to but who knows with him. We spent the whole party together just looking out into the city. The party was better than I expected it to be. But I still miss kiki. I put my gun and phone on the table while I change in to my sleepwear. I'm wearing a long blue top and a pair of purple shorts. I pull the bobble out of my hair. I start to walk over to my bed.
BANG. The glass window next to be shatters and I scream out in pain as I fall to the fall. I look at my shoulder to see I've been shot. More bullets start to fly towards me as I hide behind the table. Quickly I grab my phone and my gun. I peak out to see people in red suits break down the door. And start to shot towards me. I feel a sudden heat near me. Shit they're throwing molotovs at me. I can't run from the fire without getting shot. Shit.
Saints HQ
There just about done clearing up. five am. Probably should get some sleep now. As im walking towards my bedroom I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. Who on earth would be calling me this early. Or late. The caller ID says Viola. Wonder what she wants. " Hey" as soon as I've said that I hear her scream my name and the sound of gunfire. I freeze.
"Jason help." Her voice is high which means she's scared and panicked. As soon as I hear her voice I start running to towards the elevator.
"Viola where are you" she doesn't reply and the line goes dead. Shit no. I run out of the elevator into my Vortex car and start driving in the direction of her apartment at full speed. I call kenzie.
"Boss it five in the morning why are you calling me."
"Kenzie I need you to track Viola's phone right now." My voice is panicked. I really hope she doesn't pick up on that but its not important now
"okay why"
"No time to explain just do it."
"Ok, ok her phone says she's at her apartment." Well at least I'm heading the right way
"Ok thanks kenzie." I hang up on her and continue driving. As I get closer to her apartment building I see fire trucks and loads of people stood outside. I pull over and run to the crowd. I can't see her in it. The cops are not letting people past but right now I don't care. I sprint towards the building. One cop tries to grab me but I punch him and continue running. Once inside I start to climb the stairs. The smoke is getting thicker and thicker the higher I get up. I put my arm over my face to prevent more smoke getting into my lungs.
On the sixth floor I see some people dressed in red wearing gas masks. They're shooting into Viola's apartment. Aiming my pistol and shot all of them in the head. I run into her apartment and see another two people. I shoot them as well. I scan the room and don't see anyone. "Viola" I shout I don't get a reply and I start to cough. "Viola." I shout again and this time I hear coughing. It's quiet but I hear it. I run towards the sound and see the knocked down table I jump over it to see Viola Lying on the floor in a small pool of blood. "Viola" I turn her over to see she is barely conscious.
"What took you so long" her voice is weak and as she finishes talking her eyes shut. She's going to die if I don't get her out of here. Carefully I pick her up bridal style. She a lot lighter than I thought she would be. As I'm leaving I see a photo album on her bookshelf which says Kiki and Viola's childhood. I quickly grab the album and run out of the room. I carry her all the way down the stairs and out of the building. We got out in time because I'm not out for more than five seconds before I drop to my knees still holding her. Paramedics run over to us and give Viola a oxygen mask. I lay her on the floor and she starts coughing. "Jason" I look down at her and carefully put my hand on her cheek. She starts coughing again. "Maybe I should have stayed at your place." I laugh the Paramedics take the mask off and move on to the next couple of people.
"The offer still stands you know." I stand up and offer her my hand she accepts it and I pull her up.
"I think I might accept it."
"Come on I'll take you back to the crib and fix that gunshot wound of yours." She nods and we start to walk over to my car. "While I was carrying you out of the building I saw this on your bookshelf." I hold the picture album. She's looks happy and sad at the same time. "I thought you would like me to save it as well." I give her the album and she hugs me.
"Thank you. For everything." Her voice I no louder than a whisper. I hug her back.
"Don't mention it." We break apart and get in to the car. As im driving I look over to Viola who's fallen asleep holding the album like a teddy. I pull in to the garage of HQ. Not feeling like waking her up I get out and move around to her door. I open it and slowly pick her up and walk in to the elevator. I notice her shoulder is still bleeding. The bullet went straight through her. I'll need to bandage it. Her shirt is covering it so I won't get infected. When the bullet knocked her down her shirt must have moved and luckly covered it. I'll still have to clean. The doors open again and I move her to my bedroom and lay her on my bed. I walk into the bathroom and get the first aid and walk back into the room. I have to wake her up if I'm going to stitch her up. I put my hand on her other shoulder and carefully shake her. "Hey v wake up."
"What." She wakes up and see the needle and thread. " Oh this should be fun." I pick up a cloth and pour some disinfection on to it then put it on her wound. Her body jerks and she grits her teeth. I know this stuff hurts like hell. I put it back on and hold it down for a couple of seconds then remove it. I then pick up the needle and thread and sow it shut. Next I bandage her wound. "Thanks." I smile.
"Your Welcome V. Now try to get some sleep. Ill call the gang in the morning and see if we can find out who attacked you." She nods and closes her eyes. I walk out of the room and close the door. I better try and get some sleep to. Walking over to the couch I fall on to it and shut my eyes.
