Chapter 1

Jason's P.O.V- "it's not that easy. Are you ready to face all the challenges". "Yes, I want to be a part of the gang and I'm ready to fight all the challenges" she answered confidentially. Her confidence, her charm, her personality, her attitude and her face, everything about her has changed since the last time I saw her.

(flashback) she was a teenager as I was, she had a cute smile that was accompanied by her deep dimples. The last time I saw her she had watery eyes she came home late that day it was around 1 am I knew something was wrong with her. We lived next to each other, she was 15 and was growing to transform into a beautiful girl, but that day her smile was not there but instead there were some stained tears, I tried to talk to her while she searched for the keys of her main door "I can bring the spare keys if you want" I told her "please" she said in a shaky voice, something was down with her. I went inside and searched for keys of her main door. When I returned she was sitting on the floor, her back supported by the hard wooden door. "Alisa" I called out, I could see her tiny body shiver at the tone my voice. She looked up at me and all I saw was a broken girl, "what happened" I asked "nothing, can you just give me the keys" she snapped "sure. But you know you could tell me whatever you want. Like we are besties! Remember?" I tried again "yeah I do remember. Well it's not important. I guess I want to sleep, goodnight Jassy" she said.She always called me Jassy or Jase. Jason,  I rarely heard that name from her. Either she was angry or annoyed when she called me out by my original name. "Goodnight" I whispered, she walked closer and gave me a peck on my cheek before disappearing in the dark hall of her house.  (Flashback ends)

The next morning, my whole life turned upside down. I never saw Alisa again until this moment. I couldn't believe once we were best friends. But, for me she was always more than just a best friend. I had developed a bunch of feelings for her but, was never able to reach the confession part. Our friendship was one of the sweetest part of my life, I never shared it with anyone. I never expressed how I feel for Alisa to anyone ever. It was something very precious and private to me. The next morning of the night I saw Alisa crying was shocking than ever. I don't know how my information was leaked, but somehow the cops got informed about me. But I was quick to escape from the situation and safely landed in Canada. I was all over the news: "the most wanted in criminal of America, Jason McCann made a run again" some said I died in a plane crash etc etc..

"Okay Alisa I give you a chajnce. But, remember one mistake and you are out" I finally said as I realised the reality that she was really standing there. A part of me was happy but a part of me was also concerned for a unknown reason. "Thank you Jassy" she said excitedly. "sorry, I meant thank you Mr. McCann" she corrected herself realising the bond we once shared was now alien to us. "it's okay you can call me Jason" I shrugged off my shoulders. "Get ready we will start your trainings from today" I informed her before walking away. I was shocked to know she wanted to join the gang and she wanted to meet me after all those 6 years of no contact. I needed to keep an eye on her, I can't trust her for now.
