From Friend To Mate novel Chapter 28

Thomas was 3 years older and stopped going school because he didn't need it. He already knew that this would be his way of life.

"I'm sorry" he said.

He didn't look at Jason as he said it, but Jason knew what he meant. All though they weren't remarkably close they did have their moments and he seemed to be the person other than Felix that genuinely knew him.

Thomas was apologising because he didn't want Jason to get involved in things like this. He saw him as his little brother and tried to pull as many strings as he possibly could to avoid this happening but there were only so many strings that could be pulled.

Now he had to watch as this young man became just like himself. All Thomas could do was helplessly hope that he would be able to come back from this.

Thomas grabbed onto the steering wheel before driving into their meet up point with a man who couldn't keep up with his payments.

It was a club.

Thomas briefed Jason with the plan before they both went on. If anything had happened this could've landed in a dangerous accident or even worse a death. Before exiting the car, Thomas handed Jason some weapons.

He had two guns, both pistols filled with bullets each and a spear point knife. They both entered the club and the lights immediately blinded Jason. It didn't seem to affect Thomas; he's been here numerous times. But Jason was amazed by the amount of sweaty bodies which were restlessly grinding onto one another as they merged and separated like an on and off couple.

The music blasted through every corner of the room, creating a banging sensation in Jason's ears. On the stage in front of him he saw women half naked swinging and twirling on a pole before landing in a split. He didn't like it here.

He hurriedly followed Thomas who was already through the crowd walking towards a more secluded area. This was a VIP area.

The plan was simple. there was a small chance it would go wrong. The man they needed was surrounded by guards however all of the guards were double agents and would turn against him once given a cue after that he'd been taken outside into an alleyway and killed.

Someone else would come and clean up and life would go on as nothing happened. Thinking about it made Jason grateful all he had to do was pull a trigger.

"you know what to do." he said.

The man who lay on the ground struggling to get up looked at Jason and understood what was happening.

"you're new, aren't you?" he said.

He knew what string to pull to possibly save his life. "You don't want to do this do you? You know after this there is no going back. I'll ruin you forever and everyone you've ever met will see you as a monster."

Hearing this was hard. Jason thought about Felix. he was able to accept that he'd been involved with killing due to his father. But how would he react knowing that he actually killed someone.

Before he noticed the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at Jason pulling the trigger. Jason rolled over onto the ground and immediately the guards around them pulled out their weapons however knew they couldn't shoot.
