Christmas day came rolling in quicker than anyone expected it to. I watched everyone bring their last-minute gifts and slip them underneath the Christmas tree. The whole gang had gathered in the warehouse for a fun night together for dinner, presents, and a good time spent as a family. Well, that was the cover, at least. We had men on every block within a ten-mile radius to warn if we had any company.
I looked over at Tony and Charles, who were teasing each other about who would end up the drunkest. "I bet you a band that you will be the first person blacked out tonight." "Oh, come on, that's a stretch. We all know it's going to be you." I couldn't help but giggle as I watched them argue like little kids. I scanned the room as I admired everyone enjoying themselves.
