The Defiance novel

---- illegal car racing" "What?! He would never..." "But he did. And I also knew that he is keeping it from you. He told me to fuck off when I ask if you have the knowledge about his doings. His illegal racing came uncontrolled after one night when something went wrong. His challenger dropped dead on a rainy night, Dean's car was the one that bumped into it causing his opponent to be pushed over the edge of the cliff and fell.

The driver died and their group blamed Dean when everyone saw that it was just an accident . He was hunted and they wanted him to pay. They came with drastic measures trying to get him killed" "No . no. no no no no. Not my brother. He was a good man" Isat there frozen slowly processing the story I couldn't believe. Crying. Sobbing but I endured listening farther as he went on. "That was when I know that he was part of us.

My group is quite big and we were scattered at some parts of this country and of course we have connections outside the country and continent. But I didn't have any direct contact to the most of them; I have men managing each and everyone. I was trying to find stability on how to handle such a large group and I was yet to meet everyone but his case erupted across the room one day when the news when he was ---- desperately needed to survive came to us.

Of course, we don't let anyone of us fight alone. He is one of us so it's a given that his problem is our problem", he stopped shortly. "Is that why he was... shot?" He sighed and leaned back to his chair. "No. His case ended a year ago when we killed all the members of the other group", I looked at him with wide eyes. They kill people. This felt like a dream coming from him. "You..

kill?" "Yes." "Then if that problem ended why was he shot and why didn't he just leave your group?" "It's not that easy to leave the group but that's not the problem in majority. Dean, he doesn't want to leave. He stayed. Actually, he's one of the best men I've got. He fights well and shoots at another level" My cries became louder thinking of my brother being so heartless to kill people and taking their lives. "Why?", I cried out. "T don't know.

You have to ask him that" Wiping my eyes with my trembling fingers , "Then why did this happen to him now if they aren't people ---- after him?" "Are you listening to me", I glared at his question , " What we do is illegal. We have many enemies after us. The line of life we have is not something ordinary " "Can't he just leave? Please?", I wanted to beg for my brother. "It's his decision but I am telling you that it's not easy go out" "You're the boss, right?" "It's not that easy.

He promised us brotherhood ", he stated firmly, "I'm sorry. And to answer your question of what really happened to him, does the name Ralph Clemente ring any bell?" How did he know that name? "y-Yes", is lowly answered. "Who is he?", his eyes blazed awaiting for an answer. "He's the man imprisoned a year ago because of murder" "How did you know him?" "T stepped up as a witness for his case and they found my statements as strong evidence against him.

Why are you asking e about him?", I remembered the day we were in court after his last hearing and Ralph was pronounced guilty of his crime. He was supposed to be ---- in prison for a lifetime because he murdered a family of seven including children. I was lost in an unfamiliar area that night where and when I saw the whole incident. One of the scariest nightmares I had. I couldn't do anything at that time. When I was about to scream for help, someone grabbed me and silenced me in the dark.

A man I didn't know. "Have you got any news of him after he went to prison?" I shook my head. I heard no news about him. "He got out of jail a week ago" "What?!", it was a shock. Ralph was a soulless man. I saw him how he killed women and children without blinking an eye. Without an ounce if hesitation. "He broke out of it" "Why are we talking about him?" "Because he was the one who shot Dean." "WHAT?!", I suddenly stood, my chair stumbling into the floor. Why?! What does that evil have to do with Dean?
