It Takes Two

Chapter 9

My bad guys.

I stretched as I got out of bed. That was the best sleep I had in a while. I think it's due to the fact that we actually have a plan of attack. Stephen really came through for us. When this is all said and done, we are definitely going to repay him back. Whether it be monetary or something else.

That is if we make it out.

Always have to take that reality into consideration. Never rule death out.

Death is imminent.

You quickly learn that when you get into the life. You may not have to look over your shoulder every second, but just be ready to die. I know, encouraging right?

Anyway, I continued to stretch. The way my bones were cracking, you would've thought I was like 70.

"Got damn." I said aloud. Maybe I need to stretch more often. I looked at myself in the mirror and admired my tattoos. I know, I sound like an asshole. It's a work in progress though. I wanted to get the left side of my chest done. I should get it done while we're in the States.

I'll have to ask Rae if she knows any good tattoo artists. Then again, I've never seen a tattoo on her before. If she does have one, it's where I can't see. I tried to imagine, but then I quickly shook my head.

"No, no, you will not think of her like that." I quickly tried to hone myself back into reality. Not to say she's not attractive, she's very attractive. I just...didn't want to make it weird.

BAM BAM BAM

Who the hell is knocking on my door like that?

"Yeah?"

"Get up!" It was none other than Matteo. I rolled my eyes and opened the door. He gave me a smirk as he looked me up and down. "Someone just woke up I see."

"Yeah, I would've been up regardless. Knocking like you're the fucking police or some shit."

"Maybe I am...?" He gave a serious look. I pushed passed him as I shook my head.

"Well if you are, let's go out back so I can clip you." I said as I walked away from him. I heard him faintly laugh. I went downstairs to see Leo at the dining room table. Probably getting the operations we were about to conduct in motion.

"What'd up, Leo?" I greeted him as I opened the fridge.

"Nothing much, just trying to write out some things on the drawing board here..." He trailed off. I poured some orange juice in a cup and then came on the other side of the counter.

"Look at you, ahead of the game. Whatcha got?"

"Well, I sent some of our guys to scope out the trailer park. They sure have created some hillbilly heaven there." I laughed as I tried to keep my drink in my mouth.

"Yeah?" I tried to compose myself. "I can only imagine what they got going on over there."

"Our advantage is they're idiots and we're not. I should say more of the muscle are idiots, but Rick Morrison is less of an idiot...still an idiot though." I nodded as I continued to listen. "I think this will be a great first hit."

"How do you think we should go about this?" Matteo walked in the kitchen and Leo nodded towards him. "Sit down, we're going over the plan."

"Shouldn't Rae be here?" Matteo asked.

"I relayed her the message already. She helped me put it together." He replied.

"Alright, cool."
