"Can I take a nap first?" I asked jokingly.

"I know all that food is about to put me in a damn coma. Derek over there with a food baby." Charlie said.

"Damn." I said chuckling.

"So what do you wanna be for Halloween Charlie? I mean you can't go as yourself as scary as you are naturally." Derek said.

"Haha very funny I could say the same for you." Charlie said being sarcastic.

"Damn your heart wasn't in that one was it?" I asked Charlie.

"Nah it really wasn't my battery is on low I think I'm gonna be Poison Ivy." Charlie spike.

"I don't know about about myself  I'm probably gonna ask Malaysia and see what she wants to do." I told them.

"Yeah I'm probably do the same with my girl, you know how girls are with the whole couple costumes thing." Derek said.

"So tell me why this dude that I met last night at the bar tried to tell me he was the police commissioner's bodyguard." Charlie said.

"What'd you say?" I asked him.

"I acted all impressed and asked him how long had he worked as a guard and he told me three years. Three Damn Years!" Charlie said.

I laughed hard "Wow he was out here telling lies lies." I said. 

"Come on now I know there's gotta be more to the story so spill." Derek spoke.

"Oh you know there is." Charlie said.

"So I'm like gassing him up you know and I asked could I see his badge because I've never seen one before and he tells me he left his badge in his car. I tell him that's fine and he starts telling all these stories and stuff and then my phone goes off." Charlie says.

"Okay and your phone getting a notification doesn't mean shit if you don't explain why." Derek said.

"Damn I was about to tell you, I was just giving it a dramatic pause jeez." Charlie told him.

"Anyway kids lets get back to the story." I told them.

"Like I was saying I asked him what the police commissioner was like and what it was like to work with him-" Charlie was cut off again by Derek.

"But what about the motifs on your phone ?" Derek asked.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH!" Charlie yelled. 

"Okay damn just calm down." Derek said. 

"Ooh boy yo ass is grass when we get out this damn car." Charlie said as Derek just shrugged.

"He tells me that the Commissioner was a total creep and that off the books was a total douchebag." Charlie said.

I just chuckled "Why does everyone think I'm a creep what have I done for everyone to think it's true." I said thinking out loud.

"Idk but I asked him if he had any pics with you and he quickly tried to change the subject and switched over to me." Charlie said laughing.

"Hey, there's a bit of traffic a head but we're almost to the mayor's office so we'll still get there with a little time to spare." Derek said to me.

"Okay that's fine." I told him.

"I told him okay and so I pull out my phone  and show him a pic of all the guards, you, Derek, the mayor, and I; his face turned as whit as a damn ghost. He starts stammering trying to make up some bull shit lie. He legit said well what day was that and why wasn't he there and how didI know y'all." Charlie said with all the damn salt in the world.
