Chapter 30: Anita & Antoni

"We're robbing a bank."

What? Did I just hear that right?

"WHAT! What do you mean we're robbing a bank?" I yelled out.

Damien was laughing, but I was not finding this situation funny in any way.

"I'm just kidding, darling. Well, kind of." I raised my eyebrows, gesturing for him to explain.

"Recently, we found out the Wolves made a deal with this man from Italy. He's really rich and has an underground business. Basically, his wife and he came to the states a few days ago. They're here to pick up the money for the deal. The bank we're going to... a lot of dirty work happens behind the scenes. Only gangs know about it. And the Wolves have an insider at the bank who's holding it. So my men took out the couple. And now you and I are going to get the money." Damien explained all this as if it was such a normal thing. "Violet and I were supposed to go, but she said she had to go somewhere, so you came over at the perfect time."

Great. I'm about to rob a fucking bank.

Just then, the phone rang and Damien picked it up.

"Damien! Is Naya with you?" I heard Violet on the other end.

Before he could answer, I spoke up. "Yes, Naya is with him."

"I'm SOOOO sorry. I...uh....had to meet someone. It was last minute." I heard another voice in the background. "Shut up, Ja-. I mean I'm sorry, again." Is she with Jake? This girl! I'm getting the details later.

"What do you want, Violet?" Damien said.

"I just wanted to make sure she was with you. And she knows what's happening." Violet replied.

"Yeah. Damien's making me rob a bank." I glared at him and he grinned.

We talked for two more minutes and then hung up.

"How do you know the couple won't come?" I asked.

"We took care of it."

I raised my eyebrow. "Do I even want to know?"

He chuckled. "Let's just say they're back on their way to Italy with no clue of what happened in the past 2 days.

"But we don't look like them?"

"The guy at the bank doesn't know what they look like. We're fine." He answered.

"What if he recognizes you?"

"He doesn't know me." Damien shrugged. "The Wolves are too stupid to tell him about me."

"What are the couple's names?" I asked.

"You're Anita and I'm Antoni."

I nodded. "How much money?"

He looked at me and hesitated for a second. "50 grand."

"50 GRAND!" I blurted out in shock. "What are you going to do with that money?"

"It'll be in the right hands," was all he gave me. We sat in silence for a few minutes. "Also, you don't have to speak. I'll do all the talking."

"But what if he talks to me."

"I'm just going to say you don't speak English." He shrugged.

God. What could go wrong?

Damien pulled into the back of the bank building. He reached for stuff in the console between the seats and pulled out a white scarf.

"Wear this around your head." He handed it to me.
