The Start-Up

It's been two weeks since...whatever the hell that was. Today, Phil has decided we are going to rob the boat. He was wondering if we were even gonna try. The boat was delayed multiple times, so he decided we would go for it.

It's gonna be Morgan, Sam and I.

I was the first to wake up today. I started a fire, and had a coffee. Once I was done drinking my coffee, I went on a quick walk to the river to wash my face and refresh.

I felt hands grab onto my shoulders, I screamed.

Adam laughed a little, "I didn't think I'd scare you that bad".

I glared, "Asshole".

"Oh come on," Adam kissed me, "I just came to say good morning to you".

"I appreciate it".

"Got a big day ahead of you, hey?" Adam asked.

I nodded.

"Well, hopefully it'll go smoothly".

I sighed, "Hopefully. We'll see. I mean, I'm excited for it".

"Have y'all even discussed a Plan?".

"Yeah," I took a second, "We're killing a couple dock workers, going in, and stealing valuables. It's pretty basic".

Adam nodded.

"You're nervous. Just because I got drugged, now you don't trust me".

"No, not that".

"Then what?" I grabbed his hands.

Adam took a second, "I just worry".

I got up, "You can't".

"Amira can we just sit here for a moment?".

"I have to get ready for today. We gotta go soon".

"What?" Adam rushed up.

"They're leaving at lunch. So we have to leave soon".

"Nobody told me that".

I looked at him, "Because this job doesn't pertain to you".

Adam sighed. 

I went back to camp, and then got some clothes on. I saw Sam and Morgan talking with Phil by the carriage.

"So y'all got it?" Phil asked.

Sam and Morgan nodded.

"Good," Phil looked at me, "Amira. Nice to see you".

I smiled, "Morning Phil".

"Be ready to go in about an hour. Until then, want to have some breakfast?".

I nodded, "I'm starving".

Pa came out of the cabin with a pot of food and served everyone. Adam came back eventually and got some food also. As my plate got close to empty, I closed my eyes for a second.

I saw myself holding the gun to my head.

My eyes shot open, and I felt like I wasn't breathing.

"You okay?" Adam looked concerned.

I nodded, "I'm gonna go for a quick mind clearing walk before I go".

I rushed off. I walked a little bit behind the cabin, and fell into the grass. After a minute, I was able to catch my breath. I stayed in the grass staring at the blue sky.

"Hey lady," Laura came up to me, "Making snow angels in the grass?".

"Something like that".

She sat down, "Excited for the score today?".
