The Freelancers Three

When the Chips are down.

About 2 hours had past, you are now sleeping in the back of the van, wrapped up in the corner.

"Ya know what max..." Sam sighed "I feel kinda bad for dragging them with us on this trip-" he glanced over at his partner, who was carving something into the dash board with the pocket knife he found in the glove box "I don't! They asked to come, and I like them..." max says, trailing off into silence "Like...Them?" Sam asked with a bit of confusion, max has never liked anyone but him before- "yea...ya know- their pretty cool...ballsy too-" max chuckled "yea-" Sam smiled "I like em' too, little buddy-"
"Their pretty good lookin too-" max snickers "Max-" Sam huffed a bit and looked at him then back at the road "w-wait Sam I don't mean it like...like that I mean it in the sense of-" max was cut off my Sam "you act like we haven't been married for years-" Sam rolled his eyes

"You act like we haven't been married for years-" was the first thing you hear as you woke "WAIT- you two are married?!" you sat up and looked at then from the back of the van.
"Yea...Did the rings not give it away?" Sam chuckled a bit "I'm not always lookin' at your hands! I wouldn't have a reason to notice..." you say as max gives you a look "Your not....homophobic- is ya?" Max glares "WHAT- of course not! I'm lgbt too!" You protest "phew! Thank god, it would be a shame to hurt such a delicate face like yours-" max says with a doting look "yea! Of course I'm not homophobic- wait- delicate?" You looked at max "we need gas-" Sam interrupted with a sharp turn left and pulled into a gas station, and with that turn you went sliding into a big bunch of pillows that was in the back with you.

"Alright, here's some cash, go get some snacks and beers while I get this hunk of junk some gas-" Sam hands max a wad of cash "ahhh...Sam...Don't talk about yourself that way-" he says with a worried expression "get going you nimrod, And dove go with him- I don't trust him by himself, not after the slush incident-" Sam says "the what?" You asked a bit worried "They weren't kidding when they said 'not for rectal use'-" max shrugged and started to head into the convenient store. You follow behind a looked around, the place was gross, so pretty much everything was normal.  Max heads to the back of the store and you follow like a lost puppy, you hated being in small places like this so you weren't sure what to do-
"Go ahead, grab a few things-" max says with his normal plaster smile on his face
You grabbed a Dr.Pepper and a small thing of Doritos.
"So uh....havin' fun on the road with us?" Max spoke up, "oh!...yea...it's been crazy but this is the most adventure I've had...like...ever-" you chuckled a bit "has it been...fun being with me?" You added on
"Yea...yea I guess I could say it has, it's always nice havin new faces around.....of course not when they get all up and button with Sam...but your just fine..." he says, you can feel his gaze on you, it was strange having and conversation that wasn't him yelling. "Up and button?" You question the term
"Ya' know...flirty- handsy- he's a real chick...boy...thing magnetic-" Max says
"Oh my that must be bothersome- with being married and all!" I say as we walked through the back of the store
"Well...I mean we have thought about a third-" max mentioned causally
"What?" You looked at him, then noticed the door to the store open, in stepping two men with...ski masks and guns...oh joy.
"EVERYONE FREEZE!" One of them men yell and point the gun right at the cashier who didn't even move from his spot
"Ah there they are-" the other made eye contact with you, you got a better look at the two, they had on biker outfits, they must have Been the ones with those Harleys you saw.
"You know this guy Tootsie?" Max whispered
"Not that I recall..." you stepped back a bit
"Hey! Don't move- stay put now doll-" the man jerked the gun at you, but to his avail you didn't even flinch, after the ware house your pretty stable
That was until he grabbed you and pushed max to the side, he held the gun to your head "Com'on now cutie we got a reward to claim~" the man purred in your ear as he started to move with you, the other guy got the cash form the register.
You just watched as max stood there...
Watching...
Not even concerned?
Oh god...was he just messing? No- you guys have already done a lot? He wouldn't just leave you to be taken like this- right?
"Com'on Dove- out the door.." the man with the gun chuckled darkly

"Only I get to call them Dove-" you hear Sam growl, you completely forgot he was out here!
"Oh yea the mutt is here too-" the man grumbles "Camia ain't gonna like this one bit-" the man added

"C-Camia?..." you say with question
"Camia~" you hear a smooth female voice say as you hear a THWOOMP- BMF- as Sam hit the floor with a blow dart in his shoulder.

I just wanted chips..
