"A grape flavored kiss.... A boy on your lips...."
Eddie doesn't know what to do when he finally meets Gareth's other best friend. Gareth talks both of them up to each other yet it takes almost a decade to meet...
Do they actually know each other?

Eddie POV: I have a really bad feeling about all of this. If I was ever going to rob someplace.. well this current crew I have with me, is less than ideal, it's fucking insanity...
I don't have Gareth or Steve for starters... hell I'd take Wheeler at this point.
I do have Mattie, Suzie, Robin and Jason... it's going to be a long night and all I can think about is that Ellie is off with Hargrove. My stomach is in knots, I had showered, scrubbed away the Chrissy of the evening. The shower though only made me want more, the memories of that first time showering with Ellie, of being the one to watch her smile, to be that person she wanted in her life.
I cried. I felt it come on strongly, but being back in that house, being in a place with memories of her... no of us. It was too much.
Back to reality, a huge building and a crew of misfits. We aren't even the B team at this point. Robin watched me, "you really are sorry aren't you?"
"Yes Robin, I really am. I miss her so god damn much." I felt tears almost break from my eyes again. I had no right to say that to another person, but right now I would shout from the rooftops to have Ellie back.
Fuck.
The story that Jason told, the fact that he wasn't supposed to survive Janet's attack. That his father had been drugging him and Janet for years... well it's awful, the fact that Mattie was there the whole time and that man let them... we he let them go insane around her. Jason said the last few months his withdrawals have been so intense. He was selfishly getting back to himself, that he didn't need that rush... he was relaxing. Someone apparently was in his life and I longed for that same piece.
I asked about Chrissy, I was curious. He said it was an arrangement. She fucked whoever she wanted in exchange he would say they were happy. He thought they were friends, but he said only two people in his life had been constants.
He mentioned Mattie, but said he didn't want to talk about the second. I knew he meant Ellie, but it was strange the fixation he talked about. He had been longing for this person, and to finally have them. It sounded delusional even for Jason.
We got to the building, it looked like no one was there. Jason was sure there was minimal staffing and they could sneak in, hack the computer system, snag some files and leave. Have solid proof against his dad and the conspiracy he has concocted in his head about the man.
I hated my old man. But Jason seemed hell bent on destroying his. Again... Jason seemed more delusional than normal.
It had me on edge, especially since Mattie and Suzie were so invested. Robin shared my skepticism, but if shit hit the fan... well how you were going to carry all three of these girls out a building was going to be a new trick even for Eddie Munson.
Suzie knelt down, she grabbed a walkie from her pink pack, she reminded me of Will, so calm and smart. Henderson and her were adorable and if there was a thing such as innocent or pure love it was between the two of them.
