Once I was able to get away from my team I instantly called my cousins. Thankfully I found an empty spot outside so I knew when someone was coming towards me and not.
'Pick up!'
"Hey cousin! How ya goin'?" De asked once he picked up.
"You used my fucken name?!"
"Oh you found out about that."
"Yes I found out. Im working and I introduced myself to this officer in Santa Clarita, and he said I wasn't who I said I was! I had to lie to help cover your ass!"
"You didn't have to do that."
"I didn't..... you dumb fuck! People don't know we are related. Your a criminal and wanted!"
"Not that wanted."
"Bitch they use you as a training device. I know because one of my friends is an FBI agent."
"Look it was around the time we needed to make ids cause of our friend."
"Yeah. So you just made one using me cause of my credentials?"
"Exactly!"
"I'm going to beat the shit outta you when I see you again! I can get in trouble for coving your ass, but I've got no choice cause then people will find out about how truely fucked up our family is!"
"Then stop lying about your last name!"
"Cunt! I can't! We talked about this when I was in Uni. If people know we are related your enemies will target me and I'll not be able to work without constantly being questioned and or arrested because of you two doing illegal shit!"
"Blame our father for raising us in this life!"
"I blame your father for a lot of things! This is not even at the top of the cake!"
"Oh I could go for cake now."
"De!"
"Right sorry. Look we will stop using it next case."
"Your using it now aren't you?"
"No."
"Oh my fucken god I'm in deep shit!"
"It's fine. Just a quick salt and burn."
"And people wonder why I don't tell people who I'm related to and just use nicknames."
"Look, I'm sorry our family is like this."
"Don't apologise for shits that not your doing. I mean, our family is dysfunctional. I'm a Finley, I'm as broken as we can get really."
"Yeah but I'm still sorry. For so much with us two and what not."
"Your having bad dreams aren't you?"
"It's nothing...."
"It's something if your acting strange. Do the others know?"
"They know somewhat."
"I don't know what you went through is like. But I'm here for you at what ever time you need someone to talk to. Unlike the others, I know what it's like having dreams that torment you awake."
"Thanks Riv."
"No problem De. I gotta go though, I'm sure my mates are worried about me."
"Talk later cousin."
"Talk later." I told before he hung up and I let out a sigh.
'Why couldn't I be someone else sometimes? I don't know how long I can keep pretending to be a Finley.'
