ＨＥＡＲＴＬＥＳＳ; two

''There was this dude,''Joe looked down on his hands, and then back up at me. ''he owed David and I money. David knew where he lived, so we went there on Friday night, just to get our money back. We found him outside the bar, and when he saw us, he tried to run away.''


My best friend closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath before he started to speak again. I had never seen him like this before. ''The rest is blurry, but I remember that the guy punched me in the jaw, and I started bleeding.''


'That explains the bruise,' I thought, but stayed silent. I didn't know what to say. Judging by the way Joe was acting, the story he was telling would get even worse, if that was possible. He looked scared, and he still wouldn't look me in the eyes. Something wasn't right, and it was making me nervous.


''David was holding a gun. . . Then in less than a second, the guy was dead.''


Shocked, I looked at him. ''He. . . David killed him?''


Joe confirmed by nodding his head slowly, and nervously ran his sweaty palms over his dark jeans.


''I can't believe it,'' I breathed, trying to process what Joe had just told me. It was hard to take it all in, it was too much a once. David didn't seem like the type of person who would do something like that. He hardly ever got aggressive.


My thoughts wandered back to the girl in the photo. How was she linked into all of this? How had she gotten herself into this mess? ''So. . . What about the girl? Selena, right?''


''Yeah. . . well,'' Joe turned in his seat, scratching the back of his neck. ''David got away. It all went so fast, and then suddenly he was gone, and I was freaking out. Then this girl walked by, and she saw me, dude. She saw me there alone with the dead guy. That chick is the only witness they have, and she saw me there — alone. Man, if she goes to the police, I'll go to jail for a murder I didn't commit.'' He was talking fast, trying not to stumble on the words. He looked stressed, scared.


Breathing got harder, I felt like his words were choking me slowly. It was all so hard to believe, but it was real. It had happened, and if I didn't do what he asked me for, he would go to jail. I didn't need much time to think it through. Joe had saved me before, and I did owe him. I would help my brother out of this. There was no question about it.


And David. . .


My fists clenched when I saw his face in my head. He had tried to make Joe look guilty, and for that he was going to pay.


Then again, I remembered what Joe was really asking me to do. ''People are going to report her missing. What if the police starts looking for her?'' I pointed out.


''Don't worry, they can't charge you for anything. It can't be considered kidnapping if she comes with you by her own free will, right?''


Seemed like he had an answer for everything. ''Okay, I'll do it,'' I agreed.


Joe rose to his feet, a content smile forming on his lips. ''Thanks man.''
