Europe's Most Wanted

LUKE & ERIC (27)

The picture is what Eric looked like, except Eric was a dirty blonde with some tattoos on his arms and lip, nose and eyebrow piercings. (Luke has more tattoos than Eric and no piercings.)

LUKES STORY

"Yo, Eric! Can you run to the shop and get me some fags like a good brother?" I called to Eric who was leaving through the gate. I was in the garage working on some engines.

"No, get them yourself." Eric rolled his eyes. I scrunched my nose up at him. "What's your problem? Where are you going anyway? What's with the preppy clothes?" I scoffed.

"I'm going to propose to Athea." Eric said.

"Seriously? You know we don't have the money for a fucking wedding. Where the fuck did you get the money for a ring?" I shouted as I threw the wrench on the ground and walked over.

"I got mom and dads blessing. They like Athea and helped me with the money." Eric crossed his arms. I gave him a face.

"It's not like your doing much to help us get the money." Eric said. "I am helping!" I growled.

"Yeah, like robbing banks and rich people is gonna look good on your criminal record. Next were going to have to spend the money on bailing you out of fucking jail!" Eric yelled at me.

"What's got your panties in a twist? They're not going to put me in jail." I said. "You get a ride home with the police almost everyday! They know where you live, you dipshit!" Eric thumped my head and I pushed him back.

"Well, I'm going to propose to my beautiful girlfriend and start a happy life with her. I'm not going to be hanging around when my brothers in jail." Eric glared at me.

"Fuck off then! I don't want you near me!" I shouted at him as I walked away back to the garage.

"Bye, Luke." Eric called. I turned my head over my shoulder and stuck up the middle finger at him.

I heard Eric do a long sigh, then I heard the gate close after him.

"What a jackass." I mumbled to myself and I picked up a hammer and started banging away on engine parts.

"What's up with you, son?" Dad asked. "Why didn't anyone tell me Eric was getting money for a wedding ring?" I asked him with a dirty look on my face.

"They love each other. If you were in his place, you know we'd do the same for you." Dad said.

"I know for a fact that ye wouldn't. You're all disappointed in me, I see it in your eyes. I'm trying to help, doing the things I do is my way of helping. At the end of the day I'm the one who brings back the most money to pay off the mortgage!" I shouted.

"We're not disappointed in you, Luke. Just sometimes we would like if you got a job and got money that way. But now you can't because of your citizen record." My dad said as he cleaned a car window.

I scoffed. "Yeah well, I wouldn't want a lousy office job when I can be free and live life with adrenaline pumping through my body." I said.

He nodded and sighed. "I suppose nothing I can say is going to make you change your mind?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Very well." He said then we went silent.

I got a call from Daniel. "Hey, the people from the race in Dubai is transferring your money to me. Will I put it into your account now?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah, thanks Daniel." I said. He was about to hang up. "Wait!" I said. "What?" He asked.

"Are you free?" I asked. "Uh, yeah." Daniel said. "Can you come to my place. I'm meant to be staying around for another while as an extra hand on cleaning up the nursery, but a gambling  appointment is calling me, if you know what I mean." I chuckled. I heard Daniel sigh.
