The New Yorker's Choices

House Party (Part 5)

        Rob laid down in bed and took a short nap. During his nap he remembered all that happened today. BANG BANG BANG BANG. Gunshots sounded in his mind as he started grunting in fear in his sleep. SHING SHR. The sound of the knife proturuding into the bounty hunter's neck sounded as well. "AH". Rob lightly screamed as he woke up. His eyes widened as he turned green with sickness again. He got a piece of lined paper and a mechanica pencil. He sat on his bed again as he divided the paper by drawing a line down the middle of it. On the left he wrote Pros and Cons on the right. In the Pros he wrote."Can get revenge out on the Roman's". In the cons he wrote. "May make me mentally unstable". In the pros he wrote."Better then doing nothing for the rest of your life". In the Cons he wrote. "May get me killed". He then transitioned to the pros again and wrote. "Because I want to". Rob then looked at his list and saw that once again he's returning to the Athens gang. "(Chuckles)". He then got out his cell phone and added Hermes to his contact list quickly. He then texted Hermes saying. "I'm coming back tomorrow, I have a brilliant idea". He then sent the message and put his phone away.

        In about ten minutes Hermes texted Rob back saying. "Okay glad to have you back". Rob looked at the text and put his phone away. He got up out of his bed and walked out of the room after putting his gun away in his briefcase. He walked down stairs and looked at Gabrielle who was watching Tv. He sat next to her on the couch and put his arm around her shoulder. "Rob"? Gabrielle said quietly. "Yeah"? Rob said casually. "Are we safe now"? Gab asked. "If we werent dont you think I'd be a little more concerned"? Rob asked with a grin half formed on his face. Gabby formed a smile as well. "I dont know but are you gonna be fine I mean you did just kill a man". Gab asked. "Nope he wasnt a man, men dont go around killing people for no reason". Rob explained. Gab then lost her smile. "Where do you go"? Gab asked. Rob then lost his grin and grew a more serious look. "What do you mean"? "Oh come on you know exactly what i'm talking about. For the past day or two you've been running off doing God knows what. Rob does this have anything to do with you leaving"? Gab asked. Rob sat and pondered. "Gab I (sigh) I drive around. Just have me time". Rob explained. Gab then looked at Rob with disgust. Gab then slapped Rob in the left cheek knocking his face to the side. "Fuck you Rob". Gab yelled. Rob stared at her with pure confusion in his expression. Gab then picked up her purse and put on her black flip flops. She pulled out her phone and brushed her hair to the side while texting someone. "Gab what are you doing"? Rob asked. "Where do you go"? Gab asked sarcastically. She began walking to the front door until Rob grabbed her wrist lightly. Gab then turned her head toward Rob. "I have your money in here, now do you know what i'm doing"? Gab asked retorically. Gab then walked out of the house and to her car. Rob walked out and saw her pull out of the garage, out of the driveway and down the road. Rob walked back inside and shut the door behind him. He pulled out his phone and called Hermes. The phone rang three times before CLICK. "Yes Ares". Hermes asked tiredly. "Yeah do you know the address of a Shirly Ranch? My wife goes there all the time". Rob said. "Uh I can find it why"? Hermes asked. "Yeah go there and take the winnings from them and give me half of it you can have the rest. Oh and uh no shooting only intimidation alright"? Rob asked. "Yeah sure". Hermes said. "Thanks". Rob said. CLICK. The line closed.
