《F I N》27. FIN
Advertisement
Fin and her brother, Thorne parked in front of the café where she was meeting her friends. She was slightly nervous because she didn't know if Thorne would recognize Adam as the British Mafia leader.
"Are you going to get out of my car anytime soon?" Thorne asked sardonically.
Fin rolled her eyes and exited the car, slamming the door shut. She gave her brother a tight-lipped smile before going into the café.
She heard him follow her and sighed.
'He is going to be a pain in my ass today,' She thought bitterly and then groaned.
Josephine looked around for Adam and Mariam. They hadn't arrived yet, so she sat down at a corner table that could fit six people.
"Why don't we sit at a smaller table?" Thorne asked, standing at her side.
She huffed in annoyance and turned to him. "Because I'm waiting on some friends, remember?"
He had a look of realization on his face and sat opposite her.
"When will they be here?" he asked, leaning his face lazily against his palm.
Fin shrugged and looked at the menu. When her friends arrive, they wouldn't be able to talk about what they really wanted because of him. That didn't mean that they had no form of communication. All of them knew sign language.
Fin wanted to help them later, as they have a mission at a club. She didn't know the specific details of the mission, that is why they had to meet up.
If she had said no to her brother carrying her, he would have made accusations and followed her anyway and Josephine preferred if he was in her sight.
Fin looked up as she heard the sound of the bell above the door, indicating that someone has entered.

She smiled as she saw three familiar faces.
Adam, Mariam and Lex, who she didn't know was going to be there.
It made sense. Even though Lex is in a small gang, the leader actually, he was very good at hacking. So was Josephine but she was going to be on the field.
Lex would be watching over them through surveillance and report to them if he sees anything strange.
She waved to catch their attention and they walked to her.
She stood up and gave each of them a hug, breathing in their familiar scents.
Lex raised his eyebrow and pointed to her brother. "Who is he?"
Fin smiled. "This is Thorne, my older brother."
Thorne didn't seem to know who they were, which was a good thing.
Lex nodded and sat down. The rest followed.
Fin signed, "Tell me about tonight."
Adam and Mariam understood why she was communicating in BSL (British sign language). However, Lex watched them in confusion.
Adam spoke quietly in his ear so that Thorne wouldn't hear. Fin knew that he was explaining to him.
She saw Lex nod. He smiled at her and leaned down, planting a kiss on her cheek, before leaving.
This time Adam signed, "Our target is Samhil Carlos."
She knew who that was. Samhil worked closely with Adam until they found out that he was trafficking women.
One of the things Josephine hated most was human traffickers. She absolutely despises them and has taken down some of the largest operations already.
She was eager to take him down too.
The waitress came and they told her their order.
Fin gave Adam a thumbs up.
"What the hell? Why are you only talking in sign language?" Thorne asked angrily. He huffed and crossed his arms, glaring at his sister and her friends.

They shrugged and continued their silent conversation.
There wasn't much to plan, since they discussed most of it over the phone already.
Fin was excited. She hadn't taken down anyone since she came to New York and she feels useless.
"Don't get too excited, Fin. This is a very short mission that would be over in less than an hour. But after we can actually party," Mariam signed, getting happier as she finished her sentence.
Josephine pouted. Although she liked beating the bad guys and even though sometimes it happens in clubs, she hated partying.
Mariam looked at her sadly and fluttered her eyes.
Fin signed, knowing that she was giving in to her best friend.
"Fine," she groaned out loud, startling her brother. She giggled as she saw him jump up in his seat.
Thorne glowered at her.
'Such a big baby,' she thought.
Mariam cheered, along with Adam.
Josephine was not looking forward to tonight.
Though, it might get better when she receives a little surprise at the club.

A Girl and Her Food
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix. Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive. But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question... It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right? Things to expect: - A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes. - Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now. - Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments. - I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇 - Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea. Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!

Touch me like you do
"Listen you jerk, I wouldn't have even touched you if I wasn't drunk." I bit out furiously. "Even if you were the last man on earth I wouldn't go near you.""Is that so?" His voice was dangerously low."Besides I thought you were my fiancé. That was the only reason why I kissed you." I lied hoping my face didn't betray me.His eyes darkened and a muscle jumped on his jaw. He started walking towards me and I took a step back. Then another step and another until my back hit the wall. He was so close I could smell the cologne he wore.Fear trickled down my spine as I stared at his furious face. He looked as if he wanted to punch something. Or someone."What..what are you doing?" I stammered pressing my body further into the wall."Calling your bluff."His hand wrapped around my nape and pulled me against him. My eyes widened in shock as our bodies touched. Before I could say or do anything his mouth came crashing down on me.

Manipulation
Kelly really didn't want to go first. It didn't seem fair, Anne had four extra years to come to terms with herself surely she could be the one to test the waters? Well, perhaps she just needs a nudge? Or perhaps an accidental mention in a document no one is meant to read? Something her mum might happen to find? A companion book to Instrumental, can be read as its own story but I think really works best after reading the first book.
