Sound of money

6

Dahlia lightly knocked on Rowan's door in the middle of the night:

" - Can I come in?" She whispered

" - Yeah, I'm not sleeping anyway"

Dahlia came in and closed the door behind her. She looked at Rowan weirdly:

" - Wearing a suit at 2 am?" She asked as she laid down on Rowans bed

" - Yeah, getting ready for tomorrow. Also, suits make me feel incredible, the first thing I'm doing after we get the money - I'm buying a suit." Rowan said looking at Dahlia through a mirror

" - Someone has to get cigarettes tomorrow"

" - No. It's the last couple of weeks, nobody is going anywhere, if you're really desperate, you can smoke these" Rowan threw a little metal box at Dahlia.

She opened the box and saw 6 cigars with names written on them:

" - No, we can't smoke these. These are for our last night together. Talking about separating, where are you moving to after we're all done?"

" - Well I can't tell you, can I? We gotta keep it a secret so that nobody gets any funny ideas. Let's just say I'll have fun for a little bit and then move to a very quiet place where nobody will bother me." Rowan laid down on his bed like a dead person

" - Well now you put on the suit for no reason...Wanna go out, we can buy cigarettes?" Dahlia stood up

" - Sure, whatever" 

Rowan and Dahlia snuck out:

" - So why did you name this job "Cichlid"?" Dahlia asked walking to a gas station

" - Well you see, the cichlid is a type of fish which fakes their death, and it's a little similar to our plan, don't you think?" Rowan said opening the door to the gas station

" - Sure"

There was nobody else in the gas station. Dahlia was humming around the pads while Rowan walked up to the cashier:

" - I need some red Marlboro's, my man" Rowan got some money out of his pockets

Dahlia smacked a packet of pads on the counter. While Rowan was paying the cashier asked:

" - Are you coming back from Lollapalooza?" I heard it's getting pretty lit there"

" - We're not, why asking?" Dahlia leaned on the counter

" - Well your friend is dressed for the occasion" He looked at Rowan

" - Suits give him power"

" - Indeed they do," Rowan said and left with Dahlia

" - Wanna go to Lollapalooza?" Dahlia smiled

" - Not really, it's like a sweaty rave most of the time and I don't wanna leave people behind," Rowan said and started walking home

" - Okay then let's get everyone else and let's go party for once. I'm not the type to party, but I'm sure the others would want to go"

" - Sure, why not. I will have to change my outfit, this suit is for special occasions" 

They both went home and woke everyone up:

" - Wake your ass up, we're going to party tonight" Dahlia busted into Sunflowers room

Everyone got up and got ready like there was no tomorrow.

" - I can finally wear this outfit for fuck's sake" Frangipani shouted across the house

It took around 30 minutes for everyone to get ready, Cayenne walked into Rowan's room to check if he was ready. When she walked in she was Rowan rummaging through his cupboard full of bottles:

" - Since when do we have so much alcohol?" She asked as she crouched down next to him

" - Well we never finish the bottle so I keep them. Help me out, beer, whiskey, or vodka?"

" - Let's do whiskey, we need to get drunk fast, don't we?" Cayenne grabbed the whiskey bottle

" - Let's go bitches" Frangipani joined everyone and walked out the door
