Worse deal ever by Kimba sue (the beach read .txt) 📕

Tony works crazy hours so this is this first time he has been home long enough to shower, eat, and clean up his house. He gathered up the trash and shoved it the trash bags he laid on his kitchen table.

Walking over to his counter he could look out into the alley that ran behind his little cabin looking house. Though it is a house he calls it a cabin because it reminds him so much of his hunting cabin. He grabbed the trash bag, looked out the window, and saw a lonely figure on the ground.

He forgot about his trash and ran out into the alley. Stopping right in front of a female form on the ground. He didn't want to move her until He was sure that she had not be injured. He checked her the best he could, then he heard someone running and yell out "Emerald I will find you." The woman he named Emerald did not hear this threat as she was passed out. Tony crawled her against his chest when he was sure it was clear and no one would see him carry her inside his house.

Tony walked inside and laid her on his bed. He lived in a small one bedroom house that resemblyed a cabin so that is what he called it. He slept in the livingroom, using the bedroom as a store room. Continuing to do as he was he untied her shoes and slid them off her feet. He moved her just enough to cover her with his blanket.

He didn't have to go far so he could keep an eye on her while she got the rest he knew she much needed. He sat on his couch looking through some hand written notes. He texted on his phone so he would not disturb Emerald, if this was the woman the strange voice was yelling at. He could run her first name through the data base and give his friends a discription of her. He didn't trust anyone at face value and a pretty face was sure enough a sign for trouble.

Tony showered and ate a cold sandwhich while the woman slept. He would let his eyes wander over to her sleeping form. He wondered "where did she come from? Was she being chased by the strangers voicd he heard? Was her name really Emerald or a street name?" On and on that lead to more questions. He planned to get the answers to these questions floating around in his head as soon as she woke up.

Tony grabbed a cup of coffee that he had to warm back up from earlier. He added two spoons of sugar with a dash of Hazelnut creamer into his cup. He sat down in the kitchen chair so that he would not scare her to much when she did finally get up. He was not sitting for long when she sat straight up in bed trying to catch her breath.

"You're awake then." He asked her.

She was still staring at him with intrustful eyes and didn't say a word. So he continued, "I could not leave you out there in tbe alley way. It wasn't safe for such a beautiful young woman to be all alone."

"Who are you? Why.... she stuttered.

"Sorry, how rude of me, I'm Tony Shoden.

He loved the sound of her voice it sounded like soft love music. He wouldn't mind hearing that voice the rest of his life. As he stood there mentally kicking himself, she started to speak again.

"W-w-where am I?"

Tony flicked the light on that was next to the bed. He saw her eyes get wide. She looked shocked almost.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked her before he sat on the foot of the bed stating, "I bet you are hungry and thirsty. If you want I can get you something."

She smiled a smile like an angel and said, "if you could make a sandwhich and get me a drink, I will be out of your hair in no time. I am sorry to inconvenience you."

"You don't have to rush off. I want to make sure you are okay before you leave," he said sliding towards her. "I would feel like an asshole if I let you leave and something happened to you."

Tony didn't know if she was going to be sick or not when he put her head between her knees. Then her head snapped up and she looked pissed.

"Look, i'm happy you saved me. For that, I am grateful, but I really have to go. I can send you some money for helping me out."

He was offended by her bringing up money to him. Instead he continued on not changing his demeener, he said instead, " Before you leave, please tell me why you were in the dark alley?"

"Look does it really matter who or why I was running? I don't think it does. You have helped me out a lot, but I really have to get out of here."

Tony went in his own world now. He was trying to think what he could do to help her, if she would let him help.

"I feel I can help you. If you let me, he told her moving closer to her again. I know I don't know what you're going through, but I think I can help out."

She started going into a long story about her and her best friend stealing money from some gang members she was sure of. He tried to interrupt her but she continue and told him, " I have his money."

Tony had his hand up and said, " it don't matter what you did, all i'm saying is I can help you get out of the trouble you are in."

He let her slide off the bed. Watching her walk over to his curtain to look out. He walked up behind her and put his arms around her, trying to give her some comfort and said, "please let me help you. Tell me what your name is?"

She asked him, "to please let go of me first and then I will tell you. I promise I will not run out the door.

He walked backwards and held his hands up as a peace sign.

"My name is Emerald. Yes I know that is a weird name, but my mother loved Emeralds."

He needed something to get close to her with and she just opened up a door for him to walk through.

"I love your name. It fits you just fine. I thought when I was going to get married and start a family, I wanted to name our daughter Diamond. She would have always been my Diamond."

He heard her speaking to him but he was lost in thoughts of his own, when they both heard, " Tony come outside for a minute and take a look at what Jack got." Joey yelled.

Tony snapped out of his day dreaming and looked at Emerald saying, "stay here I will be right back. I don't think you should meet my rowdy friends at this time."
Tony opened his front door and slipping out without anyone being able to see in his house and see Emerald. He didn't need the questions he was sure to get if they seen her. He walked over to the bright red truck and stood by tail gate. "What's up? You seem a little to excited this evening.

"Jack got some new toys. Two semi automatics and two rifles." Joey pulled back the blue tarp that was over the bed of the truck. "Man that was nothing to get so excited for." He said with a wink and then said, "what is going on are we doing this or not?" That's when he remembered he had Emerald inside. When tony got this blank stare on his face as if he slowed some bad food he asked,"hey you alright man? You don't look so hot all of a sudden."

Tony swallowed and told them about Emerald. Since he didn't know to much he couldn't tell anyone else much. He asked them both,"would you come back in say thirty to fourty-minutes? I need you to pull back here in this spot turn your brights on the house and I will do the rest." After the plan was set Jack tied the tarp back down on his truck, just before two men walked into the driveway. One was some what big maybe a body builder. The other about average male size. "Excuse me but have you seen this girl?"
Tony took the picture the man had and seen it was Emerald. This time he kept a cool persauna. He looked at the picture for a few seconds and said,"no sorry I have not seen her but she is pretty. I think I would reconigne her right away." "I am Jimmy and this is my brother. We are looking for our sister as that is the picture I just showed you." Tony did not believe him for a minute. He could he was lying but said nothing but," I understand and I am sorry I could not help you." The two men left and Tony looked at his buddies and said," we are going to have to move fast they knew I could tell they were lying and I am pretty sure they knew I was lying as well." On his way inside the house he kept getting a bad feeling. He knew this night was going to go from bad to worse, plus some.
Before Tony entered his house he took a deep breath. He had to calm himself because he knew this woman was hiding a lot more then what she has told him, he could feel it. But he just didn't know what it was since she had already told him about Blazed Jimmy being after to get his money back and probably kill her.
Tony took one more deep breath before turning the knob and walking in slowly.
