Stall me

Chapter 23.

Emerson's POV.

"Alright Sinners, are you ready for your next assignment?"

Jimmy called us all into his hotel room, I was here before everyone else, and I got to witness the man saying "I love you."  to my mother when I entered.

I swear he talked to her more then I did at this point.

But I also knew he probably kept her updated, saying I'm alive and shit, so that's all that mattered. I've been nothing but busy since the beginning, I'm sure she understood.

After I had gotten here, Luke, Calum, and Michael all entered together, Luke gave me a soft smile, and Calum and Michael made kissy faces at me.

Must be some sort of inside joke, cause I was nothing but confused, I still laughed at them.

Ashton came in alone, then the others finally arrived.

"Yeah, what's the plan?" Brendon asked. He wore dark shades that matched the rest of his dark clothes.

I swear he never wore any color.

"Zach needs you guys to attend this gala tonight, a lot of people will be there, most of them work for Zach, but another gangs members will be there, ever heard of the Dwellers?"

Everyone shakes there heads no, thank god, I'm still new to this stuff and I did not need to be the only one not knowing what's happening.

"The Dwellers are a pretty well rounded gang, they work under a man named Easton. And Easton stole from Zach a few years ago, a very  heavy priced necklace. He says once we get the necklace out of there hands, we will meet his people on the roof, and that's where the hand off will be. Twenty five million dollars."

I almost choked on my water, Luke's eyes widen, as well as Brendons.

"There's no way," Luke gasps, "we have never had a job worth that much."

"Well, this necklace is worth about fifteen million, but there's a catch."

"What's the catch Jim?" Brendon asks.

"Well," he hesitates, taking a deep breath, "Easton's wife will be the one wearing the necklace."

Everyone began to murmur, not knowing what to do.

"How the fuck are we supposed to get that necklace?"

"Are you crazy?"

"I don't understand how we can do that."

"Alright alright," Jimmy announces, "we will just have to come up with a plan, that simple really."

"Anyone got any ideas?" Nicole asks. The room becomes quiet. No one having any idea on what we could do.

"Is Easton a flirt?" I suddenly ask.

"A flirt?" Jimmy questions.

"Well, maybe I could flirt, " I stammer, "I could convince him to take the necklace off his wife's neck, I could say a bunch of shit about it, I'm sure if he's all powerful and shit, he cheats right, that's how it is in the movies anyway." I shrug.

"I mean, she has a point." Nicole laughs, Jimmy stands a moment, hands on his hips.

"We could probably do something around that actually," he responds, "you'll just have to be one hell of a flirt."

"Like mother like daughter." I tease at him, his face reddens and he shakes his head at me.

"Speaking of, she says hi." Jimmy laughs.
