I waited
And waited
Sitting in the car until I nearly died from boredom.

Until the two cheery volunteers finally showed their faces, and I stubbed my cigarette out on the dashboard, throwing it out of the window
"Ready?" Cameron asked

"Have been for the past ten minutes" I said blankly as they got in
Sin sat beside me, silently as I started the car
I drove us to the south side of the city
I needed to see Parker

Parker had guns
Good guns. The kind that got a man talking
And after my week of grief and my night in a cell, I had forgotten to pick up my order
And if I was going to get information out of people over my mother's death. Then I would need them

"The south?" Cameron questioned, looking out the window"Yeah" I said shortly"Why?" Sin spoke up, gaining my attention He didn't talk much

"Yeah" I said shortly
"Why?" Sin spoke up, gaining my attention
He didn't talk much

It was rather nice actually
Better than Cameron's incessant questions

"Need to see someone" I offered
They didn't have to know everything
"A friend?" Cameron asked
"No"
"A boyfriend?" Sin chimed in
"No" I gritted out.

God would they shut up?
I pulled up to Parker's house
House was generous. More like a run down heap of shit where he lived with his little sister
And Nathan and Lisa

I got out, leaving them to decide whether they wanted to bother coming in or not
And when I pushed open the kitchen door... Nathan was fucking Lisa against the kitchen table.

"People eat there" I said simply, cutting through to the living room
"Jesus" Lisa looked up, as they scrambled for decency

I jogged upstairs
"Parker!" I shouted, checking the rooms
"Hey" he called quietly, leaving Ruth's room
"I only just got her to sleep, mind the noise yeah?" He chuckled
