Chapter 75: Mad At Everything

(Alright my doves, my life has been hellish but not entirely uneventful lmmaaaao. That guy I mentioned who was so damn drunk he THOUGHT he rocked my world in bed? Only to pass out and wander out of my apartment at three am HALF FUCKING NAKED by the way, to the point where my neighbors called the police and they pounded on my door and hauled him back to my apartment???????? 💀💀💀
 

BLOCKED. BLOCKED. BLOCKED. 🚫🚫🚫 God for some fuck ass reason I only attract IDIOTS!! But as compensation for putting me through that BULLSHIT? I stole all the cash out his wallet 😊so my weekly grocery trip was definitely on him. 

Anyway, as my career sorts itself out in the background, I MUST tell yinz about this interview I had with the CEO of this construction company  yesterday:

Has me meet him at a coffee shop. We get to chatting. He just flat out warns me about some of the guys that work there, and says he doesn't want to hire someone old and fat. I'm screaming internally like sir you cannot say that!😭😭😂 Either way, he offers to buy me something to drink and I said oh I'm good, I was gonna buy this little gnome on the counter cuz they were so cute and its an inside joke between me and my Italian Stallion and this guy goes: GET HER THE GNOME! This'll be the best interview you've ever had. We finish up. We're walking back to our cars, he asks what I drive, and then he's like😏😏 wait till you see what I drive. Turns out, out of that entire parking lot he somehow parked next to me and was driving a corvette with the butterfly doors 😭🦋then this mannnn tells me to get in the driver's seat and rev the fucking engine. 

I gotta give it to him. It was the best interview ever lmaoooooo. Regardless, I have no idea where my life is, I'm just taking it day by day at this point lmao) 

Love yinzzzzzz. Oh and tell me how proud of me are yinz that I posted three chapters in one day? 😝😝😝😝❤️

[Mako's squad car] — leaving Republic City

"Hmph. He's quiet," Jay breathed, stretching his stiffness away in the backseat while Shah snored softly against the passenger window, 
"He barely slept," Mako answered, careful not to wake him, "He was also shot, dangled in the Bay, and heavily sedated yesterday. I'm surprised he's not in a damn coma,"
"Sedated? And he was walking around?" Jay blinked,
"And drinking,"
"God, no wonder he volunteered himself as bait. His body is like a mosaic of all his worse decision,"
"Or of his most prized trophies," Mako sighed, eyeing the bandages and dark bruises wrapped around Shah's left arm,
"Well, for one thing. There quite literally is never a dull moment with him,"
"Hmph. I don't think he's had a dull moment in his life," Mako half-smirked,
"I could say the same for you," Jay chuckled,
"Ugh. This again?" Mako groaned, "We're nothing alike,"
"Nothing alike?" Jay repeated in utter disbelief, "If you didn't already have a brother, I'd classify this...lunatic as your long lost one,"
"We're complete opposi—
"Worked for Viper. Stubborn beyond all hell, self-righteous, quick-tempered, oldest sibling in the family—
"Those are just—simple coincidences," Mako huffed tiredly,
"Simple? We're chasing down the same man you've been investigating since you joined the force. That both of you somehow committed heinous crimes for. For god's sake, you're in love with his sister. Give it a year or three, he'll be your brother and your best man whether he's standing or not,"
"You're not going to be my best man?" Mako questioned,
"I...I was in the running?" Jay asked, "W-What about Bolin?"
"Bolin is my brother. He's been my right hand since before he could talk," Mako chuckled, "But... you did find her for me,"
"Ugh. And I've regretted it everyday since," Jay sighed deep into his bones, "I warned you there was a lot of drama down this road,"
"And I heard you," Mako nodded, "I also said I had it handled. As you can see, I didn't kill him,"
"That you didn't," Jay shook his head at everything they've been through, "You really...don't know if you're keeping him out of prison?"
"I've been mulling that over this whole drive," Mako confessed, "I mean, obviously he should be in prison. Held up a diner at gunpoint, nearly killed his own sister, has punched me far too much for my liking,"
"But?"
"But. I'm...I'm gonna give him an out,"

"Detective," 93's voice echoed through Mako's earpiece,

"93. I was wondering when I'd hear from you. Looks like you found the right channel,"
"Thanks to your Ava. How is he?"
"Sleeping for once,"
"And your location?"
"About two hours from the city. Headed towards Dinahdu," Mako answered,
"Why the change in scenery?" 93 asked, stopping at a crosswalk to hail a cab,
"Not sure yet," Mako breathed, "Viper stuffed a suitcase in his trunk and has been headed there ever since. We're two miles behind. How...How is she?"
"Off to Air Temple Island with the Councilman," 93 smirked,
"Hmph. Surprised you got her to go," Mako chuckled,
"Oh, it was simple really. Spirit library or sightseeing in a city she already knows,"
"Clever. I'm sure you'll spend the rest of your day listening in?"
"Hmph. That and then some,"
