Just as soon as the warmth filled Terrance’s soul, it just as quickly left. It frazzled him a bit. What a tease that Helene was! How could she plant such a passionate kiss upon his lips, just to break away and talk? Wait, did she really just want to talk? He was a bit skeptical at first but listened intently as she began to reveal her secret to him. Quick and to the point, Terrance was trying to think just as quickly on his feet on how to respond to her. Should he let her know that he already knew? Did she know who he was? Jacob? Arthur? Alexander? Or did she think she was confiding her biggest secret, with the expectation it would surprise him? He had to asses the situation quickly, before letting immediate body language speak for him.

What if he told her that he already knew about her? For one, it would be an easier transition into talking about dealings with her family. If Terrance could segue and get her to talk with the Patrone family, then they could get the show on the road. And how was it that he knew? Well easy, his family had been spying on her family for almost a year now. Of course he knew who she was.

What if he didn’t reveal he knew anything? Wow, what a coincidence that my friend with benefits is in the mafia. Well, it so happens I have a friend who works the local cartel. Competing with that bonehead Munez boy. Would you like to join our group? It would be better for Terrance to conceal his identity as a spy from Helene. But something in the back of his brain was eating at him. It was shouting: Don’t lie to her!

Don’t lie to her? But that is what he did. That was what his family did, hell it was what their whole profession was based around! Lying and deceit. So why did he feel bad having to lie? Why did he have to lie? Why couldn’t he just expose his identity to her and have it all said and done? No! That was crazy talk, Terrance recognized that this was the same slippery slope of thoughts that Jacob had leading up to telling his whole secret to Alyssa. And look what happened to him! No, he had to keep his mouth shut.

Terrance had to stop pondering on the what ifs, and start acting out. His eyes widened slightly with surprise at Helene’s exposed secret. [color=lightblue]“Mafia? Like Scarface and The Godfather, Mafia? Holy shit- Helene!”[/color] Terrance raised his hand to his face, rubbing his forehead in disbelief. His eyes darted away, and he turned his back to Helene. He had to act like it was coming to him as a major shock, and that he was taking the time to absorb this news. 

[color=lightblue]“Your dad isn’t going to come after me for sleeping with you now, is he?”[/color] Terrance feigned fear, but upon turning back around to Helene, he just chuckled. He was showing her that he wasn’t too afraid. Why would someone like him need to be afraid of the mafia? He had a drug cartel on his side. [color=lightblue]“Well, Helene, I think I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.”[/color] Terrance jokingly made his best attempt at imitating the Godfather’s quote. This would be a good chance for him to get the wheels in motion for their alliance.

[color=lightblue]“If you are going to put your cards on the table, then I’ll let you in on something as well. You know my friend Jacob? Well, you know his ex, Alyssa. His family does some dealings here in the states. Maybe we should have a little… get together at his place tonight. Let you meet his family and such. I can see how both your family and his family could mutually benefit from a partnership. What do you say, Helene?”[/color] Terrance grinned widely, he felt like so many pieces were falling into place, and with such perfect timing. Then, as Terrance would see it fit and gaining trust with Helene, he would be more willing to possibly reveal more. Sure, Arthur, Alexander, and Terrance were all very much employed by the Patrone family. But their dealings weren’t fully in the whole drug trafficking thing. Arthur has had plenty of hits outside of the Flights’ contracts. Alexander’s family was usually more interested in trotting the globe for treasures to steal than staying within the states, and even Terrance’s family was keeping records on more than just the Carbone family. It felt a bit nice, knowing he would only have to keep up half of a façade to Helene.

[color=lightblue]“Now, I don’t know about you, my sweet Helene. But I did have my own intentions coming out here to see you.”[/color] Terrance approached Helene and snaked his arm around her waist. [color=lightblue]“I think we’ve done just about enough talking, don’t you think?”[/color]

[center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center]
Arthur jumped slightly hearing Gigi’s voice break through. He had heard the sound of approaching footsteps, but he had thought it was finally Eva reaching him. Where was Eva? Wouldn’t she have approached him by now? Or could she have been hiding. Arthur lifted his head up to Gigi, glaring at her. Though it seemed to be met with the same caliber. Arthur rose to his feet, now turning his attention away from Gigi. He didn’t need Gigi to tell him that he had to protect Eva. But it was on campus that Arthur was more prone to let his guard down. Did he need to protect Eva while on school grounds? There were plenty of witnesses around that Ricardo couldn’t do anything to her. What could possibly be worse than that? [color=dodgerblue]“I have been waiting for her. She said she wanted to talk about something.”[/color] For a split second, Arthur’s heart wavered, but he was more focused on why she hadn’t appeared yet, but that was when it seemed to hit him. Who was the last person that Arthur had seen Eva with? That silver haired boy came back to his mind and Arthur turned on his heels, storming off to the band room. With Arthur hurrying away, and Jacob in his own blissful world of delicious food, Alexander stepped up to the plate with Gigi. [color=khaki]“Gigi! It is great to see you! I’m glad to see that I had your number right in my phone this whole time. I was growing worried that I had the wrong number. How was your weekend? I hope it wasn’t too lonely without me.”[/color] Alexander smiled sweetly towards Gigi, his bright caramel colored eyes beaming with delight, like an excited puppy.

The band room was massive, but significantly empty for its size. There were just a few handfuls of students chatting and practicing for the recital in the evening. Arthur interrupted the near silence when he threw open the door with a slam, causing everyone in the room to become startled. Matthew, sitting by himself with clarinet in hand, was looking up Arthur, his body trembling. Matthew was planning on approaching Arthur during lunch, but was still working up the courage and nerve to know what to say. But it seemed to Matthew that he wouldn’t have to go to Arthur. For it was Arthur coming straight for him. With each step Arthur grew closer, Matthew seemed to shake and tremble more. [color=dodgerblue]“Where is Eva?”[/color]

Matthew couldn’t respond at first, but quickly mumbled. [color=lightslategray]“I-I don’t know. Well. I think I saw her going to the library with- Eek”[/color] Matthew threw up his hands to protect his face, as if expecting a punch from him. It was obvious in Arthur’s twisting face that he was growing increasingly annoyed with this little goose chase he was on, but instead of attacking Matthew, he directed his attention towards the school’s library. Matthew, tightening his grip on his clarinet, shot his own glare at the back of Arthur’s head, which seemed to ricochet away as he was unphased. Matthew figured he would have to approach him later in regard to Eva. Matthew thought, how could Arthur lose track of Eva? It obviously showed that he didn’t care about her. And was he angry because he couldn’t find her? A sign of a violent relationship. Matthew didn’t care what Eva said earlier about him being nice. Girls would say anything like that to avoid being beaten up by an abusive boyfriend. If Eva was Matthew’s girlfriend, he would never let her get hurt. And he would never let her out of his sight.

Isabelle watched Eva with her keen eyes. Eva didn’t believe her? Well, then Eva was a lot smarter than she appeared to be. She definitely gave off the look as being more of a good on the looks, lacking on the brains type. But Isabelle could see the doubt that was tickling Eva, and she had to use it to her own advantage. [color=darkorchid]“You know what is really cool about facts, Eva? It is that, even if you don’t believe in them, they are still true. We see it everywhere. People against global warming think it is all B.S., but that doesn’t change how rapid temperatures are increasing. Some people think the world is flat, in this day and age, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Earth is as round as a soccer ball. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe what I say- because that doesn’t change the fact that you are being used by Arthur. A little tool of revenge against his lover. You are just too blinded by your own selfish desires to recognize this.”[/color] The world lover seemed to roll off of Isabelle’s tongue with great satisfaction. Her work was done here. She had planted her little seedling of doubt in Eva’s mind, and she was going to give it time to ferment, sprout, grow, and blossom into its own tragedy. With that, Isabelle turned her back towards Eva, sat down on the table, like she had at Eva’s first arrival, and reopened her book. [color=darkorchid]“You can leave. I have my own readings to get back to.”[/color] Unbeknownst to Isabelle, Arthur was just a few yards away from the library entrance now, walking at a quick pace to find his Eva.

He needed to let her know how he felt, before she could reveal what was on her mind.
