*YEARS AGO*
"I don't think I can until I repay you," Young Jameson said. "With my life" He added and Diego frowned.
"Stop saying nonsense and fuck off. Should I break your bones too?" Diego glared.
"No you won't," Jameson chuckled. Diego's face loosened a little and he stared close to Jameson's face.
"Have we met?" Diego's question caught him off guard.
"Not really.." Jameson replied.
"You're the boy from the hospital" Diego cut in. He had seen Jameson when he was rushed into the hospital when he regained consciousness for a second. Seeing his silence. "I knew, I know you from somewhere"
"Ha," Jameson scratched his head.m awkwardly. "Can we be friends then?"
"No," Diego replied firmly and began to walk away.
"Why?"
"You'll die"
"Aww, so you care about me"
"No, I don't!" Diego snapped at him. "You don't owe me anything. Don't make me regret saving you back there. Maybe I should have left the boys to beat you up"
"But you didn't.. I've stuck with you, bro"
"Don't call me that"
"Are you hungry?"
"The hell?" Diego raised a brow but his stomach growled afterward.
"See?" Jameson chuckled while Diego only stared. Soon both boys were eating together. Jameson was busy talking about himself. Diego found him to be talkative but that didn't stop him, instead, he felt surprisingly cool around him.
"I know how unfair the world might have treated you.. so I'll fight by your side Diego" Jameson stated one day.
Diego sighed and faced him. "You'll die in the second in my war. You're so weak"
"I'm in a taekwondo class, I've built up my muscle," Jameson said showing his small muscle to Diego.
Diego stared at him for a while. "Fine, if you impress me so well then I'll be your friend"
Jameson's eyes widened and his face lit up in excitement "Promise?"
"I promise," Diego replied with a smirk.
During lunch, a bully slapped Jameson while he was eating.
"Are you enjoying that food you're eating so much? Dick face" The boy scoffed and began to leave.
Jameson suddenly poured his food on the boy's head, leaving the plate covering his head.
"What did you.." The boy snapped.
"Are you enjoying bathing in that food? Pencil dick" Jameson smirked and left the cafeteria while the other student laughed.
Diego was watching the scene in silence. Jameson just messed with the most feared guy in the school. Cleaning his face, the boy immediately followed Jameson and saw him entering the staff restroom, then blindly followed too.
Getting in, he hit Jameson to the floor and began to kick him on his stomach.
The door of one of the restrooms opened and the bully's father appeared. He was a respected politician thinking his son was a calm-behaving student but he was wrong.. seeing the scene.
"Dad?" The boy's face contorted into shock and fear.
The man stepped forward and Jameson pretended to be in so much pain by crying out. The man got upset and slapped his son immediately.
"What a disgrace. I thought you were well behaved but instead, you bully those below you!" The man roared.
The matter circulated at the school and the boy was suspended.. same with other bullies.
"Hmm, nice but I hope you know they'll come after you after school," Diego said to Jameson.
"Of course, I do.. I have another plan" Jameson smirked.
Just like he had expected the boys came after him when he began walking into an empty street. Jameson dropped his bag and faced them. The taekwondo skills he is acquiring should be put to use now.
As the boys attacked, Jameson swiftly dodged and made his attack instead. The boys were shocked at Jameson's sudden change. The fight went on for some minutes until all of them were down.
Jameson smirked, diving both hands into his small pocket.
"Job done" He mumbled. Remembering something he gasped. "Oh no, I forgot to record the fight. Gosh, will Diego believe me?" He mumbled slowly and turned to leave, but Diego appeared all of a sudden.
"Argh!" Jameson jumped. "Why did you sneak up like that?"
"Good job" Diego smirked.
"Huh?" Jameson asked, wondering if he heard him right.
"Friend?" Diego asked, stretching his hand for a handshake. Jameson accepted it immediately with a grin...
"Friend!!"
_____
Jameson threw his head backward, hearing the intense gunshots coming from the men and Diego. Tears creep down his face, feeling guilty. Einstein is right, he was regretting it. He was regretting it so badly. He was a bad friend hiding such important information from him.
His eyes slowly rolled back to its socket as he passed out.
Diego shot the last one outside the place on the head and took a deep breath. He rushed towards Jameson and carried him on his back.
Yazmine and Aiden rushed into the place. Yazmine's heart skipped a beat seeing Jameson's condition. Aiden took Jameson from Diego.
"Call the ambulance immediately" Diego ordered and went back in.
Yazmine did so immediately. It took them 2 minutes before they arrived.
Jameson was placed on a stretcher, an oxygen mask on his face as the doctor began the first aid.
Yazmine looked back at the restricted area. She recalled the look on Diego's face. That look screamed anger and deadly intention.. the man is surely going to destroy the place so she need not to worry.

Meanwhile,
Phoenix has a large grin on her face as shot mercilessly with her big gun at the men coming towards her. They were all going down, with their bodies flying out and blood spilling over.
The scene was horrific and she loves it!!!!
"She's a psycho" Jackie didn't know when those words fell off her lips. Her hand covered her ears from the loud gunshots.. which stopped after a while.
"Thanks for the compliment baby," Phoenix said to Jackie and winked at her.
Candy was quiet the whole time. Bitch number one?..
'Bitch 17' She remembered the name Diego called his sex partner. Could Phoenix be...
Candy shook her head not wanting to think of any other thing. Soon, they all got out.
Henry on the other hand was all tied up and being dragged by the men that followed Phoenix.
"Jackie, you alright?" Candy asked, staring at the small blood on her forehead.
"I'm fine, it's just a scratch. Thanks for coming for me. Though I'm still upset you didn't tell me you're married to Mr. President..."
Phoenix's gunshot interrupted her words as they both covered their ears.
"She's so loud, how come we didn't hear any gunshots before she came?" Jackie asked.
"That's because I use silent pistols," Phoenix replied, hanging her large gun over her shoulder. She then pulled out two silent pistols and shot two men before looking back at Jackie.
"Wow, I think I like you," Jackie mumbled.
Phoenix eyes met with Candy but then she said nothing and continued her work. Diego's call came in.
"Hello Devil" Phoenix answered, shooting another man down.
"Is she alright?" Diego asked over the phone, his voice hoarse.
"Don't you trust me, baby?" Phoenix asked, making it loud enough for Candy to hear.
"Don't start Phoenix," Diego warned. "Give the phone to my wife"
Phoenix turned to Candy and stretched the phone to Candy. "He wants to speak with you". Without a word, Candy collected it from her.
"Hey, wife.. you're alright?" He asked lightly, but Candy could sense the anger in it. Mr. Henry must have pushed him so far.
"I'm fine, what about you? And also Jameson?"
Jackie shifted her gaze to Candy, wanting to know his reply.
"He is at the hospital. I'll meet you when I'm done with these assholes" He said.
"Be careful hubby, I love you" Candy made sure her voice was loud enough for Phoenix to hear.
Phoenix smirked amusingly.
"Here, thanks" Candy handed the phone over to her.
"We'll be such good friends, Cadence," Phoenix said.
"It's Candy," Candy retorted. Phoenix only kept quiet and continued her work.
Jackie asked about Jameson and Candy told her his situation. They decided to visit after the fight.
