Dubious Arrangement: Day 6

Word Count: 36,006

Summary of Events:
After finishing his morning workout Greyson ended up having more gangsters show up on his yard. He got rid of one, and then ended up witnessing the murder of another one, which thoroughly disturbed him. Shelli noticed and Greyson began to wonder if he shouldn't end their relationship, lest she be endangered.

Excerpt of the Day:
"No vehicles appeared, but yet Greyson could still hear one driving, then he realized the sound was coming from his left. He looked over and saw a flashy, pimped black BMW coming around in front of the trailer. Why had they done that?
Its windows were heavily tinted, the hubcaps were black, the headlights and taillights were tinted, everything about the vehicle was black. Greyson watched its approach with suspicious eyes.
The vehicle stopped, but idled; the passenger door opened and a black-clad figure got out. Tension pulled at all of Greyson's muscles as he watched the man walk up to the trailer door.
He knocked on it; Greyson guessed the knocking pattern that he used was a code or something, a signal. There was, however, no answer — which caused Greyson relief, being as he was concerned someone might've been in the trailer.
"BM?" the man asked hoarsely.
A feeling of panic hit Greyson as the man turned the knob and stepped inside. He was going to find the rifle for sure. Quickly Greyson scooted backwards out from under his Jeep and made for the trees.
Sneaking through them, he went around the trailer until he was positive he was out of sight of the BMW's driver. Hurrying to the trailer wall, he snuck around along the wall all the way to the sliding doors.
With effort he forced them open and climbed inside. The man was nowhere to be seen.
"BM?" he heard hoarsely again.
Greyson hurried for his bedroom and found the man opening his closet. Silently Greyson stepped across the floor. The man went still. Greyson followed suit. He was close to the man, able to make a move.
"BM?" the man asked. "Is that you?"
Greyson seized above the man's right elbow with his right hand and wrapped his left hand around the man's neck. The man cried out and struggled against Greyson, who held him tight and tightened his chokehold on the man so that he'd be quiet.
The man groped with his right hand and Greyson grimaced — but kept silent — as the man grabbed and dug his fingers in deep. The man's grip was unrelenting, and Greyson maintained his grip the same.
Slowly Greyson started to move backwards out of the bedroom, despite the man's hold on him. The man dug his fingers deeper and struggled viciously against Greyson, trying to bash his head against Greyson's own.
Greyson pulled the man through the doorway and then through the kitchen. Unfortunately, to get out of the trailer, Greyson would have to risk showing his face, unless he dumped the man out the sliding doors — and there was also the risk of the man attacking him.
The man pulled hard to the right and Greyson carefully manoeuvred the man so that the back of his head struck the stove and he dropped, a dead weight in Greyson's arms."
