Chapter 40: The New Home

Afternoon

The crew drives near the outskirts of the city when they arrive at what appears to be a bunker. They pull up and the entire crew steps out.

Wither: "Is Hua in?"

Bodach: "Why wouldn't she be?"

Wither: "Good point"

Wither unlocks the bunker and the crew exits down the steps. It's a short walk,

DJ: "So this is where your guys have been hiding?"

Wither: "Yeah, even after the pardon. Wuf, Bodach and Hua basically do their own contract work using this place."

Wuf: "Now we kinda gotta move the gear to boss' place."

They all finally arrive down the stairs.

Bodach: (In Russian) "Hua, we got guests."

Suddenly a short girl walks out. Wearing gray pants, a hoodie with a mix of grays, a scarf and boots. She has Chinese features.

Wither: (In Russian) "Hua, they speak english. Not Spanish."

Hua coughs.

Hua: "I see. The stuff is packed."

Wither turns back to DJ

Wither: "Also, I'm gonna leave Rye here. Afterall, she technically is the only other person who can handle legal affairs in the event of...uncanny situations. But with her here, there's no reason to worry."

Yin Wei: "Thanks a lot for this Mr. Tempest. If anything, let me know what I can do for you on behalf of the group."

Wither: "No problem."

Wither: (In Russian) "Come on, let's get going"

Bodach and Wuf lift some stuff. Then after, Wither and Hua wave goodbye and they exit the bunker. Wither tosses Rye the bunker key which she catches.

Rye: "Don't worry about me too much. I'm here if you need anything. Being honest, you probably wont know I'm here half the time."

Bronx: "Don't you eat?"

Rye: "Let's say I make my own."

Before anyone else can say anything, she walks off into a master bedroom. The group just look at each other.

Kala: "Alright, well-"

The bunker door opens back up and wither walks down.

Wither: "I completely forgot. Kiana said she'd stay with us so I can train her better."

DJ: "Uh, That's fine"

Bronx whispers under his breath

Bronx: "That's one less likable person."

Griz: "Actually yeah, I didn't see her in any of the vans."

Wither: "Right. Don't forget to radio us and we'll be there in less than 7 minutes"

AJ: "So what if we on the other side of the island"

Wither: "Wuf knows some shortcuts"

Wither then closes the bunker door.

Kala: "Alright, as I was saying. Let's just get to contemplating what we're gonna do next"

Bronx: "Give me like 5 minutes, I'm gonna roll a quick joint"

Kala grabs Bronx before he can walk off. She gives him an angry stare which reminds him of his mother.

Bronx: "The joint can wait."
