Retreat

Vanoss P.O.V

We left the house, going to the store to get supplies since we didn't find much at the house. I got a tension wrench, a pick and a rake while Delirious got gummy worms.

"Really?" I said and Delirious looks at me.

"What? I'm hungry." Delirious shrugs.

"Don't you need anything... I don't know, useful?" I ask.

"This is useful, to my stomach" Delirious remarks. I recalled our little scene where I insulted him and his gang, oh how was I right.

"Yeah okay" I shook my head before walking to the cashier. "Let's get this over with"

-

I walk to the back of the house where the basement doors were and took out the supplies. I try to open the pick but the plastic wouldn't budge open.

"Come on" I grunted. "Should've gotten scissors!"

"Here" I look up to see Delirious handing me a blue shiny knife. I look at him with my heart pounding in my ears.

"Thanks" I quickly take the knife that he offer and turn the package over before slicing it like an lime, getting rid of the sickness. The plastic open nicely and I took the pick out.

"How do you know if you open it and there won't be a trap?" Delirious asks.

"I don't" I answer truthfully and open the rest of the plastic packages. Anything could happen when I open this doors, we could die right now in this very spot.

"Well then, hold on a couple minutes" Delirious commands.

"For what?" I turn to him, pointing his knife at him. Delirious rises an eyebrow at me then looks at the knife before looking back at me, I got scared under his gaze.

"To gather your intel on what you know about the vault" Delirious looks at me weirdly as I hold the knife still.

"We don't have much time if we want to get the folder and take down Night Crew!" I pointed out and wave the knife around, covering up my shakiness. I look at him confuse- confuse on the way Delirious is looking at me and he looks at his knife once again.

"If you wanted your weapon back, you have a mouth. Use it sometime" I put the weapon on the floor not wanting to touch it anymore. I avoided eye contact, not wanting to get punch.

I can't control my mouth

"You handle it with so much disrespect and it only respectful of me to apologize by slitting your throat with it" Delirious gives a cold hard look that made my heart beat faster.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I try to calm down.

"Waving it around like it's some kind of toy!" Delirious "explains".

"Like that's any better. If I knew working with you would be this hard, I rather be working with Wablo" I try to hold my fear in as I was shaking with the pick in my hand.

Maybe waiting isn't such a bad idea

"Please, like you are any-" Delirious stop suddenly.

"Delirio-"

"Just wait" Delirious sigh.

"Yeah, sure" I hum, needing the time to calm down. "If you don't mind, can you leave?"

"What?" Delirious looks at me confuse.

"I work better alone like I always done" I didn't lie but I can't shake while I'm doing my work not with him around.

"Tell me what you know" Delirious sits on the ground, completely ignoring my request.

"Well it's a shitty house with not so shitty background" I shrug. It's in bad condition, I wouldn't blame it though. It's been here for the longest and he grew up in this house. By the stories I heard, it was such a wonderful childhood. The one I wish I had every birthday, the one i dreamt about when I was a kid and the one that is now crashed and burn when my brother died.

"What about the person who live here?"

"The one is the body bag?" I scoff.

"We don't know if it's them or not" Delirious points out.

"Well, it's a guy for one. He is 47 years old and he had been living here for his whole or so he say. If you try to figure who is he, you find nothing really" I answer.

"Well, what's his name?" Delirious wonders. I stay silent, depending if I could trust him or not. He was more than just a friend, a father. A father- I never had and wish to but to see a bodybag, wondering he is was it or not. I didn't want to find out, I was scared to. "Vanoss" My head look up at Delirious and I stare into the most unrecognizable eyes ever, never seeing them so... soft. "You don't have to tell me now, we'll give you so time but we need this information"

"Tell me what happen to him if that is him in the body bag in exchange for his information" I offer a deal.

"I thought you hated stacking deals?" Delirious cross his arms.

"We have a deal or not?" I ask.

"We have ourself a deal but if it's not him?" Delirious wonders.

"Then I'll tell you and I get in exchange a search party" I added. "Sounds good?" Delirious stays silence before nodding his head slowly.

"Yeah, sounds good" Delirious said "I'll tell Moo to do what he can"

"Then it's settled" I look back at the basement doors. "Can I go back to my mission?"

"Wait" Delirious demands.

"For what?" I ask again.

"Just do what I say" Delirious gives me another hard cold look.

"Y-yeah okay" I look away at the ground.

"Shit" I heard him whisper. "This house is a bust, lets leave. We have the body, let's see what we can find"

"What about the folder?!" I stood up, quickly. I have so many question rushing to my mind, giving me a headache.

"We'll get it back, I promise" I look at him, the look in his eyes return and I nodded my head.

We rush into the house, being careful around the traps before getting the body.

"How are we gonna carry it around the traps?" I question.

"I'll carry him over my shoulder, it's not that hard" Delirious lifts the bag out from the wall and placed it on his right shoulder.

"I have questions when we get back" I warn.

"Yeah yeah yeah. We can't put this on the plane, we have to drive" Delirious groans.

"The car?" I ask.

"We will steal it. I'll take the tracker off, giving us a 2 days since that's how long we rent it for and we'll have to stop at motels" Delirious explains and I nodded in agreement.

37 hours and more with this blue eye man. How fun
