DOUBLE TROUBLE

Chapter 3

-A Month Later-

It's been a month since I've found Mink and started a new life,  and boy did I get a new life. I have a job, a place to stay, and I'm a leader of a Rib and Rhyme gang. I really didn't plan on being in a gang, nevertheless the leader but it just happened. I named it the Violent Cats, and I sell information to everyone, I never meet anyone wishing to join. Whenever I'm summoned, I end up not being recognized.  I play Rhyme practically everyday, I've yet to lose, and I'm always in some sort of fight.

I'm on my way to work around six, I get there early to say good morning to the boss man. There's this other employee that I haven't met, and I kinda wanna meet him. I go outside and place the half off sign on paint, and wipe off residue marker off board.

"Gem! Gem! Come here!" I hear someone yell from behind me, I turn around and see Minky running up to me. I smile, and wait for him to get to me, once with me he grabs my hand and shoves me into the building. 

"What's wrong Minky?" I ask turning around to talk to Mink I see him closing the door and, quite nervous like. Smirking at the thought of my tuff looking brother, nervous!

"Oh~ Did Minky Winky get in trouble?! Cuz you know I'll fix anything for you bro." I say while hopping onto the counter, watching my brother watch the door like a hawk. He stands up stiffly and look at his boots, he walks to me and collapsed. I quickly get up to him, pick him up and set him down in the chair in the back room. The moment I set him down I heard the door open with a slam. I turn around grabbing a knife from my jeans, and see five guys standing in the entrance. I step into the line of sight of Mink, in case that they want to hurt my brother. Putting on a smile, I ask the men if they needed something.

"Actually, yes have you seen a man about 6'2, dreadlocks, and a pink headband?" The man with a plaid vest and shirt, he looked quite familiar. I shake my head, and step more towards the counter to seem concerned.

"No sir I haven't, but I'll keep an eye out." I say with a smile. The men nod and walk out the door. As soon as they left, I locked the door and checked if Mink has a tracker on him. He doesn't, but as I'm searching him, his coil goes off. I debate whether or not to answer, and I just answer.

"Hey Mink! I thought you weren't going to call me?" I heard a man say, I say nothing and hang up not wanting to cause more trouble than he's in. I pull him onto the cot that boss used to use before I worked here, and let him rest. And as I thought of the men who came in earlier, I remember who they were. 

It was Trip and Virus! I met them a while ago, and I stayed with them for about a month and then left. I smile as I remember us hanging out messing with people, and then think of what they might have done to my bro. I look to the clock and see that it's almost time to leave, but I can't leave Mink here.

I call the boss man and say that I'm staying a few more hours. He oks it and says that his other employee had to have a day off, so I saved him the trouble of asking. As I ended the call, I thought of the other person working here, thinking if he's nice or a dickshit. Going up front, I work on the final touches of my prototype of my very own almate. It's a black cat, who talks to me whenever, and I could use her to hack into anything. As I'm very proud of myself, I turn her on and program her. I let her sleep and take a nap of my own.
