Heist: Freelancer

Chapter 4: null reference

It was 12:30 on July 8, I was sleeping when Harlem yelled in my ear... fanum tax, and just like that, I woke up, but my pack of gum wasn't there! I didn't mind it so I just got up and got ready. It was a boring day really, watching TikTok's and YouTube videos and shorts all day. I did nothing, so as the others, as there were no contracts and we were all tired, except Onyx who was very energized and couldn't stay still for a moment. "Are we gonna do a mission now?" He asked, "No we aren't." I replied. "What about now?"
"No."
"And now?"
"Onyx, no."
"Please tell me we're doing a mission now!"
"The mission that we're doing is called no."
"That's the mission name? Really?"
"Onyx, I know you have a rather interesting perception on life, and your attention span is low, but please, it's starting to get annoying."
"WOMP WOMP!" I heard Harlem yell. Jade just slapped him on the back of his head, "Stop making this worse than it is." Harlem became sad and left. Jade looked at me with a very smug smile, and I just waved back. We had breakfast 3 hours ago, and my stomach started grumbling hard. I decided to go take some Buldak Noodles, y'know, the spicy ones everybody's eating?
So I checked, and they weren't there. So I took my pistol and went to the nearby convenience store. I was too tired to walk when I got there, keep in mind, I got woken up so suddenly and I can't get any energy. My eyelids start getting heavy, and my legs start wobbling. "Ehh... Go- go Pico, go... Go Pico.." I say, my vision blurring. The convenience store worker asks what I want, and I just say noodles before collapsing. I wake up in a room with cops, paramedics, that convenience store worker and witnesses. I instantly bolt up and yell, "Heck nah, I ain't going to jail!" I start running for my life, and didn't look back. I come back to the warehouse, only to find Jade and the others looking worried. Of course except Harlem. They could all tell I was terrified. "What happened da- I mean, Ethan?" Jade says. "Uhh, I went to the convenience store and I collapsed in the ground, woke up in a room with cops, paramedics, one of the workers, and uhm, that's all I can remember." My answer was, before Jade starts hugging me tightly. "Woah, Jade, it's not like I died or anything!"
"You could've died from a stroke!"
"I was already too tired to do anything!"
"At least you're safe."
"Yeah. Wait... WHERE'S MY NOODLES?!"
"What?"
"Oh wait, the cops are still at the store, I think."
Onyx and Ash look at me, confused as heck about our interaction. "I think I just felt my one brain cell do r/gocommitdie." Onyx mutters before Ash starts agreeing with him. "Wait where's Shade?" Ash asks before Shade comes out of his bedroom with his dang PJ's, sleeping hat, eye covering for sleep, and his teddy bear his dad gave him before he went to the store to buy milk. "I'm awake." Shade slurs. "Finally awake sleepy-head!" Jade jokes with him. "Shouldn't you be flirting with your boyfriend?"
"Hey! He's just a friend!"
"How come y'all kissed then?"
"Wait, you were there?"
"Always have, always will."
Yeah I think you guys are having a James Bond is having a stronk, so bye bye!
