Fatally Enraptured

Prologue ~ Warning Signs

I sighed as Evan wandered around the corner with C4 in his hands. He placed them on the counter. I placed my hand on my forehead, "Really Evan?"

"What?" he picked up his head, his eyes swam in confusion.

"On the counter, in the kitchen?" I asked giving him a skeptical look.

"Oh, right. Downstairs only!" Evan smiled, he was about to get up when he spoke again, "We have a deal today?"

"Yes Evan, it's in thirty minutes, get ready," I said patting him on the back, "I still need to wake up Smit, Tyler, Luke, and Nogla."

"Oh okay, ten minutes?" Evan asked picking up his C4.

"Yeah, ten minutes," I answered getting up heading to the rooms.

"Okay, I'll be ready," he said running off around the corner from where he entered from.

I chuckled a bit as I walked along the long hallway. Then I knocked on one of the many doors and let myself into the room. Tyler laid halfway on and off his bed; he was going to fall at any moment. I didn't have to wait long as his body slid off the bed. I burst out laughing when his face met the floor, my hands on my knees to keep me from falling over.

"Shut up you bitch!" Tyler yelled after rubbing his face then gave me a glare. "Is there a reason you're in my room?"

"Yeah we-we have a deal with the Ne'er-do-wells in thirty minutes," I said calming myself, "you got ten minutes max."

"Okay, who else is coming other than you and Evan?" Tyler asked walking over to his closet.

"Smii7y, Luke, and Nogla," I answered, "Wear real clothes this time or I'll make you."

"Yeah yeah, just get out of my room," Tyler growled, I left before he could start throwing things at me.

Daithi's room was right next to Tyler's, the only other person that can deal with him, him and Craig that is. I knocked once to have David open the door, he was fully dressed already.

"I woke up an hour ago, then I heard you and Tyler talk," he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well thank you Nogla for being ready, why not go get something to eat. Or we can stop by McDonald's or something on the way home," I said softly. This poor boy breaks my heart... such a troubled life he has.

"Yeah, we can get something afterward. I don't want to hold up anything," David answered looking me in the eyes. With his bad family life, he thinks I'll hurt him if he messes up. Luckily he doesn't take shit from Tyler or anyone else for that matter.

"Well I still need to wake up Smii7y, could you grab Luke from the gym?" I asked and a smile was placed on his face.

"Yeah, sure, what do I tell him?" he questioned pushing past me.

"To take a shower and grab the guns, deal a day," I said letting him pass, and he was off walking down the hall.

I passed by a few more doors to get to Smit's room. I smiled when I knocked on the door to our youngest member's room. But then there was no response, so I let myself in. Meeting the sight of Smii7y sleeping comfortably was relaxing. It took him so long to adjust to this life, living on the streets changes you. I walked up to him and shook his shoulder softly. He murmured a bit in annoyance before sitting up to rub his eyes.

"I'm up, I'm up," he said with a sleepy voice, a yawn escaped his throat.

"Well get ready, we have a deal to attend to today," I said softly ruffling his hair.

"Ahh! Quit that!" he said with a laugh swatting at my hands, "How much time do I have?"

"Ten minutes, Tyler, David, Evan, and Cartoonz are also going," I answered, "It's cold today, wear a sweatshirt."
