New York, New York
April 23rd, 2:56 pm

If them bitches 'round you, better be blood
If it ain't me or your mama, shouldn't be showin' you no love

Pulling at her brown dress, Maleah shifted her eyes between Luca and Chris who conversed in front of her. She didn't understand what they were talking about because they were partially speaking in code. Saying things that had to do with their work and technology.

"I'll beat that nigga ass with his own gun, better stop playing with me." Chris mumbled, reaching behind himself to grab the bag of bullets Luca supplied him with. Scanning his eyes over them, he twisted them around to make sure they were correct for the gun he had on him.

"Niggas just violent, they got to get you in a hospital forreal." Luca mumbled, shaking his head although he was used to his friend speaking like this by now. Scoffing, Chris glanced in Maleah's direction briefly to catch her eyes already looking into his.

"Why you wearing sunglasses inside?" He pointed, Maleah furrowing her eyebrows before reaching her hand up to touch her face. She hadn't even noticed she kept them on, but she didn't want to give him any satisfaction by pulling them off, so she lowered her hand back down to her side.

"Why are you worried about it?" She tilted her head, Chris simply giving her a blank stare before throwing one of the bullets from out of the bag at her head. Erupting in a fit of laughter once it hit her directly in her forehead, Maleah winced in pain while rubbing that spot.

"Ole dumbass, that's what you get." He pointed, sealing the baggie back. "But I'll be right back, got to figure out what gun I want to use on that bitchass nigga." He smiled brightly, making his way off towards Luca's back hallway.

Rolling her eyes, Maleah rubbed at her forehead softly. "He's so fucked in the head, this dude threw a bullet at me." She spoke to Luca in disbelief, crossing her arms in a pout because he always did too much.

"You just now realizing that boy off?" Luca raised an eyebrow while chuckling, considering he'd been able to tell since the first time him and Chris met. It was also in his file when the two were assigned as partners, Luca having to have a note that explained Chris' far from sane behaviors.

Slowly shaking her head no, Maleah nibbled on her bottom lip to think of if she wanted to ask the question on her mind. Choosing to just do it since she would have to find out one day. "Do you know why or how he's so...you know..." Maleah trailed off, waving her hand to see if Luca was following along.
