Chapter 3 Ransom

'' first we need to meet fergie''

Bella had a determined look in her eyes but I was scared, doubting the plan we had made in our childish tantrum

'' maybe we shouldn't do this, its dangerous not to mention cruel ''

I sputter, my hand idly swinging by my side as I try to match Bella's step, she seems way too excited for it

'' you can do this Hannah, we are talking about twenty million dollars here''

Her eyes are vividly staring at me, she looks desperate as her nails dig into my shoulder

'' yeah, I can do this ''

I try to reassure myself, I could change our life with that money, there is no way I should back down even though this is cruel but thinking about my siblings made me forget my rational side and moralities

'' by the way who is fergie and how is he going to help us''

I question

'' he is just a guy I know, he is going to help us stage everything since we are obviously novice at this ''

She turns a sharp corner almost making me fall over my feet trying not to crash to her

'' could you slow down, damn you would think I am the eager one''

She ignores me walking up to a worn out door by a crappy apartment

'' don't say anything Hannah, leave it all up to me ''

Her eyes held a warning look making me shrug

'I wasn't going to say anything anyway ''

I mutter under my breath as the door gave way to the knock opening up like it was never locked.

The smell of weed and alcohol attacks me making almost retch at the smell, bodies are scattered by the living room with opened snacks littering around them, the evidence of their drug intake on the table laid out for everyone to see

'' are you serious, don't tell me fergie is some kind of drug dealer ''

I whisper yelled to the girl who looks boredly at the scene like she has seen it before, she didn't give me an answer before storming off to one of the bodies on the floor

'' aye! Fergie, get up, I got business for you ''

She squats to his level giving a sharp pat to his face to wake him from his stupor

'' ahh fuck off, can't you see I am trying to enjoy my high ''

The words came out in a drunken slur, his eyelid opening just a little to glare at Bella before closing them up again like it was hard to keep them open

'' dude, you better get up or I will take my business somewhere else and you will regret it when you get out of your fucking drug induced sleep ''

Bella's voice is harsh making me recoil at her tone, I have never seen her like this.

Fergie finally makes an effort to sit up, groaning under his breath as he rakes his hand over his head, his eyes opening slightly to be in line with Hannah's gaze

'' whatever, let me sober up ''

He stumbles on his feet making his way down the short hallway to do whatever might sober him up, Hannah presumes.

''Let's wait outside ''

Bella beckons to Hannah, making her scramble after the blonde, the sight of the guys on the floor who look half dead makes her uncomfortable.

The door didn't slam behind them as they expected instead fergie came out the door looking refreshed like he was never high, Hannah dares to say he looks nice.

'' so what can I do for you beautiful ladies ''

His accent prominent in his words as he gives them a full blown smile, he is like a different person, Hannah's eyes went to Bella who stares unimpressed at the guy

'' you could try by staying sober and not getting high strung with your cunt ass friends ''

Hannah couldn't help but notice their interaction seems personal

Fergie seems to ignore her, his gaze fixated at Hannah who tries not to squirm under his eyes.

'' you said you have a job for me, cut to the chase ''

His tone biting as he leans to the wall of the building

'' we need to stage a kidnapping ''

This was real, they are really going to be doing this, hearing Bella say it makes Hannah aware that this might just be happening

'' we are going to blackmail some rich people ''

Bella smiles looking relaxed .
