Tom drove down the street looking around. the city was sitting in the background he could see the skyscrapers close but still behind the nice houses around here. this was the outer rim after all. it had been all fixed up and made nicer thanks to Rafael or at least from what Tom had read from the history. he looked around as he pulled down the main street. a nice red craft store that he had passed and he drove on coming up to a blue tarped building on the right white brick building called the vivaldi. behind it coming up to the next street on the left the Felicia and RanchesNic across the street. the Vivaldi was an art studio from what Tom had read where people go and get pictures taken and get drawn. it was like as if they made a huge market for art in one building. you could go in there and compete any type of art. the Felicia is a night club in this town and the RanchesNic. one of the best breakfast and lunch places out here closes at 3:30pm every day.
he heard his phone ring as he looked down at his speed and slowed to a stop in front of the RanchesNic. he had to give some money to Trenity.
hey Tom said the answering machine it was Jerrica. Please find to the job well and dont worry about the police tonight thanks.
what thought Tom. why would they be getting involved with any type of police he thought.
the air came in through the window and Tom looked above at the grey clouds. it was gonna storm then he heard a rumble of thunder grrsshh a big crash and the Rain started falling.
Meanwhile.....
Elijah sat by a park bench thinking to himself. A memory cane over him and he thought to himself. He remembered when he was a littler boy. Small brown hair brownish green eyes and his father a taller broader man with long brown hair tied in a tail busted teeth and two missing in the front of his mouth.
So Elijah i really think this one will be the right one, the seller that'll set ya straight. Brewster grabbed the side wall and looked at some Guns. you know he pointed to a short gun. this one he admired the features of the black that was on the basic 9mm handgun. silver lined the side and an imprint of a horse shoe. I used this one to take on Rafael back in the day. barely made out.
he looked across his trailer at a few old magazines sitting on his chest against the wall. his ragged appearance was very thematic for what his trailer looked like.
He set a gun down on the shelf next to it and sat down. he brushed a hand over it and started shining it.
Hey pop why are we doing this asked Elijah. He looked over at Brewster and started free-handing his algebra homework too. Brewster stood up and smiled at Elijah.
Because son. The money made will help you with college. Said Brewster. Now go on back to your work we're gonna leave for Desmond's point in the morning.
"You took on the Kingston's dad"? He asked.
I used to be the big man he came to for the drugs and monetary policies. All of us together as a team. Look at me now. He shook his head. Damn codger turned his back and I need you to promise something.
"What dad"?
When you get the chance stab him in the back. He killed your mother and destroyed us.
Elijah nodded. He sat solemnly on the bench. Thinking to himself. His father was dead now by no doubt the hand of Kingston. Or something that was wrapped together in it and he knew his friends wouldn't be his friends too much longer.
Back later that night..............
Tom pulled up to a older house and looked out the window. where was he gonna be going tonight he thought. this was originally exciting but now he thought about it that this was dangerous he didn't really even know Hans friend or this man he would be seeing tonight. what the fuck was Han doing sending him out in the middle of the night. he turned his head looking around at the other nice white two story houses and a blue one on his right. the trees were eerie darker the sky was still slightly blue but a dark blue but the moon was full. he looked down the drive and saw what he was told.
house 5823 S springwood he looked into the back from the car as he pulled a stop. he saw movement in the back and got out.
moving toward the house he felt a breeze of the summer air tonight. the streetlights were dim out here eerie against the ground. he moved past the porch and through the Gate on the side of the house. he saw the Garage in the back where a man was sitting with greying brown hair and brown eyes. about his height.
Hey are you heading back toward the city waiting for a ride? asked Tom. The man nodded and stood. he wore brown robes.
so this is who they sent huh? he asked. Tom nodded. Well, he spoke I have a nice set of guns over there. he pointed against the fence Tom grabbed the bag and shotguns against the fence. 2 big long arms he didnt expect to see out here if anything more so would be in a rural area.
why the guns? asked Tom, This area seems safe.
Insurance he said grabbing his bag and guns. he turned on his heel and said get in and drive I will pop in back and hopefully we get out without a hitch. im headed up to Jerrica's thats all you need to know for now. don't stop for nothing".
Ok he spoke. he looked around at the houses around and saw everything was practically deserted.
Talon looked serious worn and ragged. probably hadnt slept in a while. he got into the back and shut the door.
it was quiet enough. Tom got in and pulled off. the green sedan was black against the night sky.
you know you could of gotten into front said Tom. he turned on the radio low. the heat he turned on low.
the man whispered shut up. I understand you dont know whats going on. said Talon. you just another paid employee.
I am just doing this for the money nothing more or less i dont know what i should know if you think i should know something please let me know. said Tom.
we escaped an ambush a few nights ago. I was driving a old beat up. we made it as far as Park city and they started shooting at us. my friend Nick and my other friend Lennie were behind me. Nick was on a Motorcycle and Lennie in another car. we got separated. they were shooting at us. I now know Lennie died on the way back lookng for me. I lost the men some point by a few blocks around here but the car broke down and I ran on foot. found this place and ive been hiding out here. had food thankfully in my bag but if my radio hadnt gone through this morning i dont know what i would of done.
well glad i can come to your aide said Tom. who is Nick?
were all racers from up north we dont even live out here. said Talon. ask jerrica if you want to know more but for now im going to sleep.
ok said Tom. this is awkward he thought. he pulled a right onto main and came up to the red lights. he heard screeching behind him and Talon jumped to the alert. Go he shouted go.
he heard bullets and pulled through the red lights covering his face with a bag on his seat.
they wer the only two cars on the road he gunned it and pulled a right. Drove down four blocks and pulled a left almost crashing into a pole. he gunned it again and looked ahead at hwy 14.
what was that asked Talon. fuck he looked behind him. he was shaking. Im guessing either that was them or a false alarm someone randomly shooting.
ok what the fuck is going on why are these guys after you? asked tom.
a blue car pulled behind them and bullets started flying again.
he put his signal on with 14 ahead and was gonna stop.
go dude are you stupid go. he spoke tom gunned the left and talon opened his window. a hotel flew by on thier left surrounded by other grey and blue twelve story buildings a old brown 5 story and then just open country on thier sides.
I will tell you when we get out of this said Talos just drive get us there. he went faster down the hwy. close the windows. he opened his and grabbed his hand gun he pointed. he looked in his scope and aimed. he shot and the car swerved off to the right hitting the side of a tree on the right.
what the fuck said Tom.
dont stop keep going jerry will take care of it all said talon. nice driving. good for a starter. you did good kid.
he pulled left off the road and down rainbow came to a set of lights turned right left and right again onto albany.
dude what the fuck was that i'm going to prison this is fucked said Tom angrily he hopened his door at jerrica's and got out he slammed the door.
"hey shut up." said Han behind him. jerrica grabbed him and said come on. into the house. she pulled him inside.
"dude you just shot someone" said Tom. he looked over at Talon who smiled and said, 'I did and we have more of a problem than i thought. johnstons tracks are all over'. he looked at Han who shook his head and lipped something. Tom looked at him and he stopped.
"dude what are you whispering", asked tom can someone please talk.
"Fine" said Han, one of my friends people died and i agreed that you would help to fulfill the position.
"what position." asked Tom, "just driving or"?
for now. said Han anyway, lets head back to the house.
someone died said Tom.
I know said Han. I am sorry it was a surprise to you i didnt want to mention what we do alot cause i felt bad.
