To Live Forever

Chapter 40

"So... they're more underground, you're saying?" Aria asked and Jason looked at Logan who nodded, shrugging as if that wasn't the exact meaning but near it anyway.

"Meaning, that they work alongside Bulletproof, but whilst Bulletproof handles more...foreign and official tasks and orders, this gang, a kind of...Bulletproof 2.0, handles more underground stuff, like giving out ammunition to mayors, governors and rich kids. Kind of illegal stuff that the government asks for. That kind."

Jason nodded and Aria continued, "So, okay. Let me go through the plan once again...we go to Onyx Casino tonight. All of us. And we're scattered, like, in the casino so people don't find it suspicious. And then, Logan, Noah, Jason, and Hayden will go up to the place where... Bulletproof 2.0 are currently making business, right there in the casino. Meanwhile, Tyler, Max and I will be on the dance floor, mingling and you know, trying not to seem suspicious and then if there's someone who tries to...attack me...then they are the people we're looking for... right?"

"Precisely." Logan nodded. "Now, according to the...Bulletproof 2.0, the mysterious gang has to take a huge order of ammunition tonight and they'll be there. This is our chance to find them and get to know who they are and why they're doing this."

"Logan, does anyone else know of the mission? Like, High Quarter, or any other gang?"

Logan gave a look to Noah who shook his head, "We're thinking of doing this without any other gang. Kind of like a...single gang project. I just think we need to be with ourselves for a while, yeah?"

Jason frowned and nodded. He knew that there was more to that than what Noah had uttered but he decided not to push it.

"Alright, then. Let's go get ready for war." Tyler sighed and got up, walking to his room.

Jason wore a fancy suit. It was a low cut dark red number which showed part of his chest and he wasn't quite happy with how the cold air seemed to make him shiver. He also wasn't quite happy when he blushed every time he looked in the mirror to see his chest at full display.

Who gave him these clothes again?

"Its the most fancy casino in America, Jason. Do you think we'd wear a freaking sweatshirt and pants over there?" Hayden laughed at Jason flushing. Hayden was also wearing a fancy suit, the coat abandoned, and some of the buttons undone so that he looked like some kind of action hero or something.

"I don't know. I'm too young for this."

"Aren't you nineteen?" Hayden scoffed.

"So?"

Hayden only rolled his eyes and the both of them went downstairs.

Jason was nervous. This was the first time the gang was going to a mission with Aria. What if something went wrong? What if Aria couldn't protect herself when the time came? All the thoughts made his head ache as he sighed and drank water, trying to calm his nerves.

Max came in the kitchen. He was wearing an almost see through black shirt and dress pants, the top probably made from mesh, and was trying to hide his chest while grimacing every now and then.

"I can see your nipples." Hayden commented, smirking as Max flushed red.

"I will kick you in the face. Who got these clothes?" He questioned angrily. "We look like male strippers."

"I did. Got a problem?" A deep voice said and Noah entered the room and all of them felt their jaws drop.

He was wearing a grey shirt which was also made from mesh, just like Max's. However, the fact that made his outfit different than Max's was that he had a few chains decorating the grey material on his chest. Almost as if his abs were caged up.

"Whoa. Okay, I take it back. We don't look like male strippers. But Noah sure does." Max laughed and Noah shrugged.

"At least I'm hotter than all of you combined."

No one denied that as well.

"Well, now we know that Noah's into bondage. I'll be sure to tell your future partner." Hayden nodded and Noah growled.

"I'm going to slice your head off."

Jason was quite overwhelmed, looking at the fancy suits around him as he sat in the living room, watching Logan, who was wearing a black silk suit with the chest low cut, just like Jason's, go through all the information about the transaction to be made today by the gang.

Nathan looked the most normal out of all of them, albiet that he had on a low cut, green suit as well, but as Nathan carried himself with grace, it looked nice on him.

While Jason, himself, was plundering over to every mirror in the house like a gorilla to see if the suit didn't show too much of his skin, making Tyler whine as Jason stepped on his toes for the second time.

"Sorry! Sorry, I'm just nervous."

"Kid, don't be. It'll be fine. You're going to fracture my toes at this rate. Then who will hack shit for you?" Tyler raised his eyebrows in question and Jason blinked.

"But you don't hack with your toes though?"

Nathan giggled as Tyler rolled his eyes, huffing, "That's my personal concern."

Tyler was quite literally glowing in the dim light of the living room as he was wearing a shining silver shirt which was loose on his frame and tight pants which he grumbled of every three minutes.

"I can't breathe in these pants, ugh, Noah couldn't you have chosen something nicer?"

"What, like one of those huge hoodies you wear?" Noah retorted sarcastically and Tyler shrugged, not really saying anything against his beloved hoodies.

At that moment, Aria peeked into the living room, her face glowing from the little amount of make up she'd done and her pretty eyes looking positively dangerous with the smoky shade she'd done on them. Her plump red lips were shining with gloss and her already long lashes looked slightly curled.

She entered the room, grumbling as she tripped slightly from the high heels and Jason forgot to breathe when he looked at her.

She was wearing a short, red dress, which was high above her knees and was sleeveless, not to mention low cut and she was red in the face when everyone in the room stared at her.

"Okay, tell me who got this dress for me so that I can shoot you myself." She grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at all the males in the room.

Every single person simultaneously pointed at Noah, who put up his hands in surrender and sighed, "I'm sorry, Aria, but I had to choose something really... extravagant for all of us. Don't worry, you look hot."

Aria rolled her eyes, blushing slightly and then mumbled, "You all...look good too."

Jason saw her look at him with dark eyes and suddenly, he felt confident in himself. He smiled and winked at her, making her blush even more and then Max scoffed.

"We look like strippers! I have never worn anything like this."

Jason thought back to the first day when he had met Max and how he wore that oversized button down and loose pants, held up with a thin belt and nodded.

"What's your obsession with strippers?" Jason laughed at the way Max had compared them with exotic dancers almost five times in the last fifteen minutes.

"Oh, god. Please don't answer that." Tyler groaned and everyone laughed.

"Alright, well. If everyone's done commenting on our wardrobe for today, we have a dangerous gang to find. Everyone ready?" Logan raised his eyebrows and everyone nodded.

Jason took a deep breath, twirling the gun in his hand.

Oh yeah. He was ready.
