"Up!" I wake up from the couch by a sudden yell at my ear and jump up. "Got you," says Sitara a few steps from me. "Well thanks for the rude awakening," I say laughing at my own reaction. Sitara joins in on my laughter and continues. "I did have something I wanted to ask you. Do you have a phone, I'll give you my number," she says. "Well, I lost it," I say scratching the back of my head. In reality I don't have one. When you enter purgatory you don't take material stuff with you. Sitara looks at me for a minute and then chuckles. "It's a good thing I have a spare one here. You can have that," she says and raises her hand for a fist bump. I gladly fist bump with her. She gives me a neat looking phone from one of the tiny drawers in the kitchen. "Now that you have a phone, how about we head to town? I got something I want to try out with you," she says and heads for the front door. "Sure, where we going?" I ask and follow close behind her. "You'll see," Sitara answers and takes a skateboard down from the wall of the house. She takes another down and hands it to me. "You know how to skateboard?" she asks and walks towards the road. "Actually no, but it can't be that hard," I say confidently. "Okay, follow me," she says and starts moving towards our destination. Okay (y/n), it can't be that hard.


Some time later...


"Hey, (y/n)! You pretending to be an ostrich or something?!" I hear Sitara laugh-yell from a little distance away. The fact that my head is literally in a rose bush right now is only funny from a certain angle. The angle that it's my face in the bush and not Sitara's. Slowly and carefully I remove myself from the roses and once out, start picking out the thorns stuck to my exposed skin. How is it that I have some in my hair though? Sitara's laughter finally dies down and she comes over to help me with the thorns and picks the skateboard out from the bush as well. "That hill didn't like you at all," she says trying not to burst out laughing again. "Everything was going so well until that hill started. Should probably thought about practicing breaking with a skateboard on the way, when there weren't any hills yet," I say as I pick the thorns one by one while Sitara cleans the skateboard from dirt and other stuff. "We are almost there so you can't give up now," she says and hands me the skateboard. "At what point did I say was giving up?" I ask and start to move to the direction she was going when I took a nosedive into a rose bush. "You coming, I still don't know where we're going so it's best you go first," I say and Sitara laughs but catches up to me and starts to lead again.


10 minutes later...


"I thought you said we were almost there," I say just a little annoyed. "It's just behind this building. Then we can stop for a minute," Sitara answers and starts to slow down. Before I can catch up she suddenly stops and gets down on the ground. She looks at me and motions me to do the same. I get close to her and squat next to her. She motions towards a shed at the backyard and mouths the words 'drug dealers'. We inch closer, staying out of sight behind some crates and a forklift. I'm guessing this building was once a construction company's warehouse. Sitara types something on her phone. "I can distract them but can you get in that shed quietly and burn or blow up their drug dealing operation?" she asks still typing on her phone. "If they dealing drugs, I don't do quiet. You got explosives or do I MacGyver that shit?" I ask, which slightly makes her smile. "I got explosives, but if we want to stay incognito you should try quiet. Also who's MacGyver?" she says and hands me a remote controlled explosive. "It's nobody, just a TV show I watched as a kid back home." Sitara nods in understanding. "Do I just plant this as quiet and quick as possible and you're going to blow it?" I ask and she nods. I creep closer to the shed with the explosive and try to keep behind crates and a short fence. I stop a couple feet away from the shed and look at Sitara. She nods and types away on her phone. The forklift starts to move and at first it moves towards the shed and then away deeper into the backyard. The guard at the shed starts to follow it and I dart inside the shed at that exact moment. Keeping myself lowered I creep closer to the middle of the shed. The table with some marijuana is going to make for a good center of an explosion. The little investigating I managed to make was that the sprinkler system in the shed is extremely flammable. And what's even greater is the switch is right next to the door. I plant the explosive on the table and creep toward the door. Suddenly I have the urge to duck under a table next to the door. As I do the door swings open. Shit, that was close. Good thing I listened to myself for once. And the explosive is planted under the table so it won't show anyone that I was here. These two guards are in for a surprise. They make a few rounds around the shed but end up finding nothing. They go back outside and I can hear a yell. It's Sitara making a distraction. The guards yell something back and I can hear their footsteps getting farther away. I come out of my hiding spot and as I open the door slowly, I switch on the sprinklers. Getting out before I get any of the liquid on me and run to a hiding spot we started this crazy mission from. I can still hear shouting and see Sitara running back towards the shed and my hiding spot. "Let's go!" she yells and we grab the skateboards and Sitara pushes a button on her phone. I hear a loud explosion and a few people yelling. "Did you rig something in there or did I just give you a strong explosive?" Sitara asks as we speed down the sidewalk. "The sprinkler system was full of extremely flammable liquid, so I just switched the system on when I left," I say while trying to stay on the sidewalk. "You are a genius. How'd you come up with that? Do you have previous experience from blowing stuff up or what?" she starts bombing me with questions. "Let's just say I have experience from where I came from," I say as we start to slow down. I can't tell her much about my past but I'll tell her a little. "I need you to meet some people. But not today, we need to wait for tomorrow," Sitara says and starts to head to her house. "Alright Boss," I say jokingly and she punches me in the arm while laughing.
