Collin's Crew III

Chapter 5

Nick's POV

I hated Seattle. Not because Desi loved it, but because she seemed happier here than in New York and I felt like I was competing against a whole goddamn city.

It has been 6 and a half weeks of us here in Seattle and I was honestly wondering if I was gonna become a father here. I knew the guys were doing their best and tonight they had their last mission.

I was worried as hell.

"You okay babe?" Desi asks as she sits down on the couch next to me putting her arm around me. "Yeah." I nod.

"You're thinking about the guys right. They will be fine. They have Jeremy and Collin's back and Naomi's helping them out."

"I know its just crazy. I don't know what I'd do if one got hurt or if Mason got hurt." I say honestly. Had no idea.

My team was not just my colleagues. They were my best friends and family. We would kill for eachother.

Mason was my big brother. The sense and the father of the group. The one with the plans and the ones who kept it all together. He is like the glue of the group. He was the nice one too. Always checked if everyone was alright.

Then there is Tim. The smart one. Our computer technology guy who without him we would suck. Has an eye on anything. Can find anyone. He was the one that spoke once in a while but would make you die of laughter.

Liam was the one who was the silliest. He revolved around jokes, having fun and girls. He brought the party and he always keeps it light hearted. Never see him angry or upset. He was the goofy one who always lost his balance or has girls who want to kill him because he dates them and ditches them. Probably stems from the crazy mother he had who killed his dad so he had to stay clear.

CJ was the proper criminal. He is the one that breaks into houses. Steals your watch without you knowing all while he is telling you a story. Italian guy. Comes from a huge family. Well more like his father made a lot of babies with different women and all named them a name that starts with the letter 'C'. CJ was the most loyal, fair and honest guy. Me and him were most alike as we occasionally lost our shit and fucked everything up. Well me more than him.

Cleo and CJ have been inseparable since the day she walked in and he called dibs. She was the pretty girl that was a distraction to our enemies. Cleo and I surprisingly formed a bond quite quick as she helped me with my problems with girls since I lacked Theory of Mind supposedly... We came to eachother with our problems because she knew I kept shit to myself and she was a girl who could tell me how not to fuck up my relationship. Fast forward to last year when our birth moms bumped into eachother after 22 years and revealed they slept with the same guy at the same time and got pregnant. That made us half siblings. Took me a while to see her as my sister as my other siblings were my actual siblings well adopted siblings but I grew up with them.

The way Desi came into my life was because of this crew. She was our enemy once upon a time but as the rest fell like dead flies as we let he go not seeing her as a threat after holding her hostage. Turns out she was misrable in that crew and she hated it. This was her chance to break free and become normal. Join college. Become a nurse. The normal part did not happen. She joined us for a while and got trained. She ran McQueens with Naomi for a while and then ran around with Suarez.

Finally she was out of that. Even if I wasn't, I was happy there was less threat to her. Apart from these faceless people trying to recruit her for their crew. It was like taking the alpha of all packs and making one big pack of alphas. Smart idea. But not happening.

There were new people that joined us. Ariels been with us for a while. I returned from my swift mental break down and a pretty girl who caused me a lot of trouble joined us. She was pretty and all but Desi almost killed her when she kissed me. We resolved our issues thankfully.
