double life (Tangerine fic)

4

Tangerine and Lemon

They fucking got away! I made my way back over to find Lemon. I found him slumped over and passed out so i picked him up and slapped him as hard as i could to wake him up. In return i got a slap as well, i landed in the seat next to him. 

"fuck me!" i groaned

"He got by me." he said

"yeah me too. Him and The Panther." 

"The Panther's here?" he asked. I nodded and put my head in my hands. 

"I guess our best option now is, uh, bring the white death the man who killed his son." i said. Lemon turned to me

"But glasses didn't do it." he said

"i could give a rat's ass." i argued

"No, im telling you, i read him. He's not the type, mate." I turned to him

"i'll tell you what. Do you like your arms?" i asked

"You know i like my arms." 

"Well then someone's gotta take the blame, don't they?" i asked. We heard a phone buzz and we didn't know if it was mine or his. We were checking and Lemon said that he stole Lemon's phone. I found mine and answered it

"What now?" i asked

"step off the train at the next stop with the briefcase in hand."

"Hang on a minute, didn't we say Kyoto?" i asked 

"you will depart at Kyoto. The white death wants to make sure you're being honest about the situation."

"Well this is a complete waste of our ti-" i got cut off as the call disconnected. 

"Alright, alright. We just have to prove we have the case we don't have and a live son instead of a dead one." Lemon said. We turned and looked at each other

"What are you thinking?" i asked

"the old punch and Judy." We said in unison. 

I stepped off the train and lit up a cigarette. I took a drag before flicking it away and walking up to some of the white deaths gunhands.

"You were all told to exit the train." he said.

"Yeah? Well unlike you I'm a professional. I wanted to make sure it wasn't some yakuza trap, clearly not." i said, looking at the group

"Where's your twin? Tangerine?" he asked

"I'm Tangerine. Lemons keeping the case safe" i said, pointing over to the parked train

"And the white deaths son?" he asked.  i sighed

"yeah he's there." i was hoping to god this would work. I had Lemon use the white deaths son as a puppet to make it look like he was alive and well. It looked like they were taking it.

"but uh i gotta pop on the train now. Ya know only 10 seconds left so ta-ra. We'll stick to the plan, and depart in Kyoto. Do us a favor. Get the fuck off our backs will ya?" i said quickly getting back on the train. 

"that couldn't have gone any better." lemon said as i sat down by him

"yeah lets hope they buy it." i said

"We need to find glasses and the panther. Like right the fuck now." I looked down before looking back up at Lemon

"I'm gonna go up, you go down. Double back when you're done. If you see them, fucking deal with them yeah?" I instructed and he agreed.
