Barry Berkman

Part 14

As I was driving home I decided to get takeout. I parked in the parking lot of a strip mall and called Giovanni's Pizzeria. They told me they would have it delivered within 10-15 minutes. I hung up and drove back to my apartment.

When I arrived, I saw the pizza worker dropping it off. I signed and handed him a tip as I grabbed the pizza and headed inside. I went up the elevator and just as the doors opened, I got a text from Fuches.

Fuches
Barry wanted you number so
now he has it. You're welcome

"Why would he want my number?" I muttered to myself as I continued down the hall.

As I unlocked my door I got a text from an unknown number.

Unknown Number
Hello. It's Barry Berkman. Is this Y/N?

I texted him back 'yes' and took off my shoes. I set the pizza down on the counter as I grabbed a plate and glass. I filled the glass up with water and served myself. I sat down and added Barry to my contacts. As I began to eat, he texted me,

Barry
Cool. Do you mind helping
me with something?

I sighed and texted him back, 'what is it?'. I took another bite and he sent another text.

Barry
I need to get rid of a Bolivian and
my old buddy from the military is
coming. He is kinda dangerous and
I just wanted some backup. Please?

I blushed as I thought this over. Why would he ask me? I figured I had nothing better to do so I agreed and he sent me the details. He would pick me up and the military guy would pick us up together. I asked Barry two more questions.

Just him? And what is his name?

He texted back, 'Taylor Garrett and one of his buddies'. I shrugged and finished my pizza. Going back for another slice, I left my phone on the table. I walked back and saw a missed message from Fuches.

Fuches
Did he ask you about Taylor?

I texted him back 'yes', and left it at that. I put my plate and glass in the dishwasher and turned it on. I went to my bed and went on Facebook to see who the Taylor man was.

A little while later, there were no accounts for Taylor Garrett, but there was one for Barry. I decided to follow him and a couple of minutes later, he followed me back. I smiled to myself and turned my laptop off. I had to get a good night's sleep for the mission with Barry the next day.
