𝑻𝑯𝑬 race was on. Oliver was leading the pack with Brian and Roman not far behind. Looking in his back window, Oliver smirked.
"Let's see if you dumbasses can catch up!" Oliver said
He laughed. Brian drove past Roman and Oliver who were in the front. He turned around and began to drive backward while flipping Roman off.
"Holy shit!" Oliver exclaimed
"Yeah, Rome! How do you like them apples?" Brian shouted
"Show off!" Roman yelled back
"That's the Brian O'Conner school of driving right there, baby!" Brian exclaimed
"Crazy-ass white boy!" Roman yelled
They got off the highway and made it to Little Haiti. The other drivers were following behind the three and the three sped up. They finally made it to the boatyard where the car was supposedly being held. It had a gate in front of it, and Brian took the lead and broke through the gate. Oliver was searching for the car.
"Cars. Where are the cars?" Oliver asked
When a boat was being lowered, Brian was between Oliver and Roman, making it just between the boat and his car. Oliver laughed when Brian fell behind slightly.
"Come on, where are they?" Oliver asked
Finally the three found the cars as well as the red Ferrari they were tasked to find. The three cars quickly came to a stop and the three men got out of their cars. Making their way over to the Ferrari, Roman took off his shirt and wrapped it around his fist. Before Brian or Oliver could stop him, Roman punched the window. Oliver gave Roman a deadpanned look and opened the door, showing that the car was unlocked. Brian sat down in the driver's seat and checked the glove compartment but nothing was in it.
"Look in the center. Look in the center." Roman instructed
"What?" Brian asked
He looked in the center console and pulled out the package they were looking for.
"Chi-Ching! Now put your blouse back on." Brian said
"Hater." Roman said
Getting to their cars, the others arrived little to late. Brian showed off the package. When they began to get out their cars, Roman laughed.
"Sit on it, Fonzie!" Roman exclaimed
Suddenly, police sirens were heard behind them.
"What the hell?" Oliver muttered
Markham and his partner had arrived.
"What the hell they doing here?" Roman asked
He pulled out his gun from his car.
"Rome, no!" Oliver exclaimed
Roman shot multiple times at the police car in order to buy some time. He popped the tire of the police car and everyone drove out of the impound lot.
🏎
Oliver, Roman, and Brian made it back to the compound, and parked side by side. Brian brought the package to Verone who took it emotionlessly.
"Hey, man, you got something to eat up in there? We hungry." Roman said as
He leaned against his car. Verone only smirked before turning to Monica and whispered something to her, causing her to nod.
"Nice. Come on." Monica said
She led them to the pool. Oliver followed her as Brian and Roman began arguing. When they made it to the table, Brian and Roman were still arguing.
"Yes, you were." Roman said
"No, I wasn't." Brian argued
"I seen you checking her out, man." Roman said
"Okay, I was. Now shut up and don't tell my girlfriend." Brian said
Oliver raised an eyebrow, wondering who Brian's new girlfriend was.
"You shut up. Don't tell me to shut up." Roman said
Oliver rolled his eyes at the two's immaturity. Monica made her way over to the table.
"Both you girlies shut up." Monica said
She pulled out her chair.
"Unbelievable." Monica said
The four sat down. There was silence at the table as Monica took a sip of her drink.
"You sure are cozy in this big old mansion. Sleeping with the enemy." Roman said
Monica ate a cherry seductively before she saw Verone walking over. Brian and Oliver began to stand as Verone walked up to the table.
"No, no, no. Sit down." Verone said
Brian and Oliver sat down.
"Nice Ferrari you got in the driveway." Brian complemented
Verone sat down and chuckled.
"I'm glad you like it." Verone replied
He opened his package and flipped it upside down, emptying the contents onto the table. He held out the, now empty, envelope to Monica.
"Darling, will you hold that?" Verone asked
She took the envelope and looked inside. Verone finally revealed the contents of his package. It was a cigar and a cigar cutter.
"We did all that for a damn cigar?" Roman asked, annoyed
"No, you did that for a job." Verone corrected
He pointed at the three men.
"Do you really think that I would let somebody impound my car? The boatyard's mine. Oh, by the way, you three owe me a gate. But I'll just take it off your cut." Verone explained
Roman laughed sarcastically.
"Off our cut.." Roman said, trailing off
He glanced at Brian, whose facial expression made Roman rethink the comment he was going to make.
"I like that." Roman added
"Good." Verone said
He cut the end of the cigar off, then grabbed his lighter. He lit the cigar and put it in his mouth, inhaling a large puff of smoke.
"What's this job you got for us anyway?" Oliver asked
"Come with me." Verone said
They all stood up and followed Verone as he walked away from the pool.
"The house has ears in it." Verone said
He tossed the cigar he had been smoking onto the freshly cut grass.
"I have something I want you to carry from North Beach to the Keys." Verone said
"What is it?" Brian asked
Verone shot the blonde a look.
"Just put in the car what I tell you to, drive it to me and don't let anybody stop you, understand?" Verone said
"Yeah. Any chance of cop trouble?" Brian asked
"No. I'm buying you a window of time, but it's not gonna be open very long." Verone said
The group came to a stop.
"You make it, and I'll personally hand you a hundred G's at the finish line." Verone informed
A smirk formed on his lips.
"Make it a hundred G's apiece, papi." Roman said
He had a smug smile on his face and Verone turned around to look at him.
"Look, man, obviously, your pockets ain't nervous." Roman added
He put his hand on Verone's pocket and Verone quickly brushed it off.
"Don't ever touch me." Verone warned
He pointed angrily at Roman. Oliver internally sighed. Roman pissed Verone off already and they had only been around each other for maybe ten minutes.
"Ours are empty. Like I said, we hungry." Roman said
He took a bite out of a dinner roll he had taken from the table. Verone thought for a moment. He looked at each of his three guests and smiled.
"I got an idea. Why don't you three boys join us at the club a littler later tonight?" Verone suggested
He folded his arms across his chest. Monica smiled in agreement.
"Yeah! Pearl at midnight?" Monica asked
"We'll get to know each other a little better." Verone said
"All right. Sounds good." Brian said
He and Verone shook hands, before Oliver and Verone did the same thing.
"We'll see you tonight." Verone said
"See ya." Oliver said
The three men began walking away, but, once again, Verone called for Roman.
"Hey, you!" Verone called
The trio turned around and faced Verone and Monica, who were a few feet away.
"Your pockets aren't empty." Verone said
He stared at Roman and Oliver sighed.
"Damn.." Roman mumbled, embarrassed
"I'll take my cutter back." Verone said
Roman walked it over to him slowly.
"Stupid ass." Brian muttered
"Yep." Oliver muttered
"Hey, man, I figured you had, like, 12 or 13--" Roman started
"You're not too bright, are you? Just get out of here. Get out of here." Verone said
The trio made their way back to Roman, Oliver, and Brian's cars. When they were out of Verone's sight, Brian huffed loudly in annoyance.
"Same old Rome doing the same old stupid shit." Brian said
"Get off me, man." Roman said
"What, running your mouth? Insulting people? Stealing Verone's shit?" Brian said, angrily
"Think I'm gonna let somebody stare me down? I didn't let nobody stare me down in jail, homeboy. Think I'm gonna let it fly on a beach?" Roman snapped
It was clear that he was frustrated.
"And 'you, I'll take my cutter back'." Roman imitated Verone
He frowned.
"His rich ass." Roman muttered
"And you're packing!." Brian said
He tilted his head.
"Like you ain't? Both of you?" Roman argued
"Hey, why you bringing me into this?" Oliver asked
Ignoring Oliver, Brian went silent and walked off.
"Exactly." Roman replied, also ignoring Oliver
The three made it to their cars.
"From here on out, I do the talking." Brian informed
"Looks like you wanna do a little more than that." Roman spat
Brian rested his arms atop the car, leaning against the door.
"Oh, and what's that supposed to mean?" Brian asked
He narrowed his eyes at Roman. Oliver rolled his eyes, knowing the two will be arguing until the end of the world.
"It means you're always getting in trouble over a female, Brian." Roman retorted
He pursed his lips. Without another word, Brian got into his car. Roman and Oliver followed suit, and the three took off.
