Burning Passion: Love Never Die


"Just what the hell was that all about?" she demanded. Her brother was too mysterious. She had so many questions about him.

Decker looked at Carlos and replied, "Ask him. He seems to have all the answers."

"Carlos? What does he have to do with this?' She looked at Carlos, who was leaning against the car door.

"I want to hear it from you," she said to Decker.

Decker's face darkened. Realizing he couldn't hide it anymore, he promised, "I have to be somewhere tonight. Meet me tomorrow. Your apartment. I'LL tell you everything."

Debbie waved at him and said, "Fine. I'll be waiting."

Decker and his men left. Before Debbie could get in the car, the police pulled up. Those injured punks had nowhere to run and were all arrested.

Thanks to Carlos, the police didn't ask Debbie to go to the police station for a statement. Carlos gave her a lift home.

The next day, when Decker came to Debbie's place, Carlos was there too.

The powerful man leaned back on the couch, legs crossed and arms extending along the back of the sofa, arrogant as ever. He watched

Decker walk into the apartment. Debbie's brother Looked wasted.

Debbie also noticed how tired Decker looked. She poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

"Need a rest?"

Decker had been up all night to settle accounts with the men from the night before. Luckily, he had a spare couple of hours to catch some

Z's. He gulped down the water and placed the glass on the table.

Leaning back on the sofa, eyes closed, he shook his head and replied, "Pulled an all-nighter. I'm used to it."

Debbie sat beside the silent Carlos. Carlos took her hand right when she sat down.

She let him. She was mad at him, but she still Loved him.

No one spoke. The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, Decker opened his eyes and looked at Debbie with his head tilted.

"Well?" He sounded a little impatient.

Debbie had so many questions she didn't know where to begin.

So she started with the first question that popped into her head.

"I gave you some serious cash. What happened to it?"
