Play Along With It

First Job

~Norman~

I was driving my bike, Tiff was driving hers, and Sean was taking the truck. We were all about a mile ahead of each other. Sean wanted to give the illusion that we weren't together. I was nervous as all hell for Tiffany and tonight. Tiffany was going to be used as bait to get the lead gang member to see if he's the one who's been doing the...you know. She knew the plan, and to act flirty. But if things got too heated, she had to refuse. If the leader followed her out of the bar, Sean and I would be close behind. She seemed ok with it.

But that wasn't the only thing that worried me. Tonight was the night where I'd tell her how I thought I felt. I had everything set up at home (Sean had taken Tiff out and distracted her while I prepared everything.). The bed had a ton of red rose petals on it, all shaped into a heart. I had some candles set up, but not lit. I didn't want there to be a fire. I was nervous about what she'd think of it, but at the same time excited. I couldn't help but imagine how it'd go down.

"Tiff, I wanna show you something." I'd say. Then I'd lead her down the hall, into our room. Hopefully Sean would stay at the bar or just go driving around. I'd stand in front of the door, and slowly open it. Since I'd get home before Tiffany, I had lit the candles already. The bedroom was bathed in a warm glow from the small fires, while the rose petals were in the shape of a heart in the center of the bed. I'd look at Tiffany, and see her eyes wide with surprise.

"Norman....it's beautiful!" She'd exclaim, wrapping me in her arms. I'd hug her back, and slowly kiss her, as we'd make our way to the bed.

I was broken from my thoughts when I saw the bar coming up. Sean's truck was parked outside, and I was assuming that he was inside. I parked my bike in one corner of the parking lot, and headed inside. Inside was different than before; no one was partying hard except for a few drunk girls grinding against older guys. I saw Sean sitting by the door, holding a menu. Considering it was 8 o'clock, not a lot of people were eating. Most of them were drinking, trying to get drunk. I scanned the area, and saw who we were after. The gang leader had a thick joint in his mouth, with his hands groping some girl's ass. I glared at him, before going to sit down by Sean.

"Ready?" He asked, not looking up.

"Yeah. Can't wait to kill that fucker." I growled.

"I meant about tonight. You and Tiff, remember?" He corrected himself, arching an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah. Little nervous. Maybe I should've grabbed some chocolates or something." I mumbled. Damn! I should've gotten a box of chocolates!

"Man, Tiff won't care about that. You know how she is." He countered, smirking at me. "Maybe you should take some viagra."

"Psh, please. You're the one who needs it." I muttered, kicking him in the shin. He laughed a little, just as Tiffany walked in. I glanced over my shoulder at her, and saw her scan the bar. When our eyes met, she blinked once, and went over to the bar. That was our thing. Blinking to signal each other. It looked natural and it was natural. No one would suspect a thing. I glanced at the gang leader, and saw that his eyes were on Tiffany. I felt defensive towards her, and puffed out my chest.

"Norm, calm down." Sean ordered, nudging me in the leg. "She'll be fine."

"I don't want his filthy hands touching what's mine." I growled, glaring at the gang boss. He was still watching Tiffany, interest noticeable between his legs. I growled again, wanting to rip his head off.

"Norman, chill. Don't blow it." Sean warned. This time kicking me harder in the leg. I hissed in pain, knowing that there was going to be a bruise there. I fixed my attention back to Tiffany, who was sipping water with her nice round ass sticking out. One of the gang members had gotten up, and was making his way over to her. He leaned against the counter beside Tiffany, an looked like he was schmoozing her. I saw her bite her lip and bat her eyelashes at him, letting him lead her over to the boss. I felt jealousy surge inside me, and my brother noticed. "Norman! Chill the fuck out! Do you want to get caught?"

"He'd better not lay a hand on her." I muttered.

"It isn't like she's gonna sleep with him. She wouldn't cheat on you." He pointed out.

"I know, I just don't like her hanging out with other guys." I growled, watching as Tiffany was introduced to the boss.

"Bro, chill. You sound possessive. It's creepy." He stated. I grumbled under my breath and watched Tiffany. She was sitting beside him, taking a sip of beer. I grit my teeth, watching as the boss rested a hand on her thigh. She glanced at him, concern in her eyes. She grabbed his hand, and set it on his knee. I could make out some of their conversation.

"...too fast." Tiff stated.

"Nah, babe. We're just gettin' started." He said, this time letting his hand dive between her legs. I bit my tongue until I tasted blood. Tiffany grabbed his hand again and shoved it away, standing up. The boss glared at her as she walked out of the bar, and as soon as those doors shut, two of his henchmen got up and followed her outside. That was our cue.

Sean and I waited about thirty more seconds until getting up, following the guys out the front doors. With Sean right behind me, we looked around. I just saw a pair of large figures going into the woods, just like where we told Tiff to go. I signaled Sean, and we were after them. Sean and I snaked through the trees, wound around bushes, following the two big men through the undergrowth.

Finally, I heard some rustling in the bushes. I quickened my pace, just as I saw one of the guys grab Tiff's wrist. But he didn't manage to do anything before my knife was sliding across his throat. Sean got the other one, and we dropped the bodies. We immediately checked our clothes, finding nothing. I sighed in relief, and turned to Tiffany.

"You ok?" I asked, walking up to her. But she seemed unaffected by the murder she just witnessed.

"I'm perfectly fine." She said, shrugging her shoulders. I nodded and laid a quick kiss on her lips.

"Well, we didn't get the boss. We should come back later and finish him off." Sean said.

"Ok. Hey Sean, wanna stay here and show Tiffany how to dispose bodies? I need to get back home and start dinner." I suggested, glancing at Sean.

Before he spoke, though, Tiffany shook her head. "Hell nah. How about both of you show me, then we can go get beers?" She stated, smirking at me. I glanced at Sean again. If I refused, then she'd know something was up. Then it wouldn't be a surprise.

"Sure." I said, a little reluctantly. Then Sean and I started dragging the corpses through the woods, all while I was thinking of a way to either clean the house up, or persuade Tiffany to go home instead of the bar.
