---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I let myself into the house of complete chaos. Making my way to the armoury I dropped my stuff on the main table. Michael came in behind me and began small talk. I wasn't totally engaged into our conversation. I was still pretty mad about cutting my honeymoon off. I know it was only by a day but fuck, I know it broke some part of Jaxx's heart. That part bothered me to no end. 

"Ryan?" Michael said rather loudly.

I shook my head a little, "Hmm?"

"Are you excited about the heist? I've been pretty restless the past few days," Michael admitted while checking out some of his guns. 

Taking a deep breath I don't say anything and keep my hands busy checking my own weapons. I wasn't in the mood to play any of this small talk game anymore. Both sides of my brain were super pissed we were here and not in the hotel room with my wife. Doing mundane things and things that I will take to the grave. As I fucking should have been.

Michael tried at me again, that made me snap at him, "Michael, I really don't fucking care right now."

He stopped mid movement and glared at me, "What is your problem?"

"Honestly? I don't want to be here doing this. I would rather be somewhere else," I said glaring right back.

Before he could fire back Geoff came into the room followed by everyone else, "You two alright?"

Michael scoffed and mumbled a 'sure' before sitting on the opposite side of the room. I remained silent and sat down as well. 

Geoff inclined his head and began to make the plans for the heist. It was a rather small heist. Get in, get out. No explosives, no need for hostages or going overboard. I really began to wonder why this couldn't be postpone until after my fucking honeymoon. 

After getting the plans down pat and somewhat memorised what everyone is supposed to do, we all dispersed. I stuck around and wanted to talk to Geoff, "Really?"

He gave me a weird look, "What?"

"This shit could have waited. Why pull me early?"

Geoff gave me a once over before talking again, "This isn't simply about taking some money. It's about sending a message. Apparently the family who owns the bank has been straying away from the right path."

"And you want to use me to send the message," I put two and two together. 

Geoff nodded and waited on me. I sighed hard, "Jaxx already wants to kill me. Let's do it then."

He smacked my shoulder and left me alone in the war room. Taking my phone out, I quickly texted Jaxx to call me when she had a moment. She went back to work as soon as we got home and I don't blame her for that. 

Grabbing my bag I opened it and stared at my mask sitting right on top.

Guess you get to play a little today.
