You know, I really enjoy hanging out with the gang, especially during poker nights because the fact that we get Taco Bell and Sonic at like 3 am and sleep til 1 pm.
"Alright, time to get something yummy for me tummy." Jaden said as we folded the blankets and stuffed them into the hallway closet.
"Let's go Bread Co.!" said Bryan.
"Doesn't matter where we go, because you pay for our meals." Blake laughed throwing the pillows in.
"You guys, how long am I going to have to do this?" he whined.
"A week," we all answered.
"Nooooo!!! I'm going to be broke!!!!"
"It's impossible for you to be broke," Derek said rolling his eyes. "We're all sons of corporate bosses, that's like being in a mafia without physical fighting."
"No dude, remember that one time we accidentally walked in on your uncle? Man he was getting serious with that one guy. Remember the blood?"
"Okay, now you guys are just making shit up." Jaden said, pushing them on the couch
"Let's go Bread Co.!" Jay V said.
We got ready in 3 minutes. 30 seconds for the guys to put on clothes 2 min 30 secs to do their damn hair. A bunch of girls if you ask me.
"Alright, your hair looks fine, I'll just mess it up later..."
"Don't! We're meetings our ladies there." Jaden said.
"Yeah, so you better not ruin this," said Derek.
"And if you do, we will make your life living hell." Blake warned.
"You three sure have a lot of nerves to say that. What are you The Plastics from Mean Girls?"
"No!" the three said.
"My bad, that was very badly done, so you're from Means Girls 2?"
"Ca-lair," Jaden said making his voice high.
"The Clique Girls?"
"Ya, most definitely!"
"You're such girls."
"No, you're just not feminine. You only think we are like girls because the fact we like to look presentable when you can just throw on you're normal wear and comb your hair only to get knots out."
"That's true..."
"Plus you're married. To JAY V!"
"And what exactly is wrong with that?" Jay V said from the couch trying to sleep again.
"Well you see," Derek said taking out some random glasses and putting them on. "Studies show that Jay V does indeed do not care about appearances and will gladly walk with anyone, arm and arm while the other is wearing an 'I rather be at target than here.' while walking through walmart."
"That was a 5 time thing." I countered.
"Mhmm, and do you remember what happened to that shirt?"
"If I recall this correctly you guys took my shirt and burned it because your asses were freezing...in your house."
"We could've died!" Bryan said drastically.
"This isn't theater so cut with the act and move your asses and buy me some food."
"Alright, look at that you angered the beast so early in the morning."
"No way, don't put the blame on me! Plus it's just her stomach talking!"
"Let's just go."
~~~~~
"So, I'll have an Italian Combo with chips and four Sierra Turkeys also with chips and one Chicken Ceasar and six mango smoothies." I ordered and paid (with Bryan's money).
"Alright, I'll buzz you when we're done." said the lady.
I walk away and found them sitting in our usual seat, which just happens to be the farest seat from the counter.
"I ain't gonna get up and get the sandwiches. I'm gonna trip and spill and then we'll have to spend more money." I said.
"No worries, I''ll do it." volunteered Derek.
"Ooo, ladies at three o'clock, four o'clock five o'clock 6 o'clock and they're here!" Blake said 'they're here' as if we were in some horror movie.
"Yo! What is happenin'?" said Becca.
We moved out of the usual place and let Jaden slide in with Becca, Blake with Jasmine, me and Jay V and Jenna in with Derek out so he could get to the food. Earlier he said something about being gentle but fast.
This guy is an ex-football player for crying out loud!
With a baby on the way though, I can see he's worried. "So what are you people going to do later?" I asked.
"Seeing a movie later," said Becca.
"Yeah without me," muttered Jaden.
"It's just with my basketball team."
"Yeah with the coach's two sons."
"We're watching Kung Fu Panda for crying out loud!"
"Whatever."
"Yes, whatever." Becca said rolling her eyes.
"Going on a mission later." smiled Jasmine.
"A misson?"
"Yeah, sorry it's top secret." she put a finger to her lips.
"Uh huh. Gotcha." I nodded.
"Well, Derek and I are going to see the baby. My first ultrasound sonogram! It's so exciting!" Jenna smiled so happily.
"Well, whatever they do to you hope you have a good time."
"Thank you."
"Alright, here are our bagels and sandwiches," Derek said coming back.
"Alriiight, let's eat!" Jayden said excitedly looking at his food.
***
We're in deep shit. That's basically how to sum up this morning.
"Jasmine, what have you done?" I groaned, as the police talked amongst themselves.
"Now do you understand why I said it was top secret! You didn't have to follow me!" she cried.
"Fuck! I didn't know it was something like this!"
Flashback:
"Hey, your girlfriend is going on a mission I hear?" I nudged Blake's side as the three of them went to the bathroom.
"Ah, that. Yeah, she's always saying that. I never ask why because well, it's easier." Blake said taking a sip of his smoothie.
"Aw come on! Tell the truth. You've followed her before haven't you? At least once or twice?"
"Well, yeah of course. At first I thought she was cheating, hey now, do NOT give me that look. " Blake said, I put my hands up in defense, telling him to continue. "So, I followed her."
"Dude, what the hell is wrong with you, have a little faith in your girlfriend." Derek said.
"Oh please, like you haven't been overprotective of Jenna," Blake snorted.
"Shut up, I've never followed her before."
"Wait," Jaden said stopping his conversation with Jay V and Bryan. "You're still dating Jenna?! I thought you two are past girlfriend and boyfriend moving onto fiancee and fiancee!!!"
"YOU ARE GOING TO MARRY HER RIGHT?" Bryan said looking at him sternly.
"Wait, aren't we talking about Blake and his trust issues with his girlfriend?" Derek said, completely dodging the question. That son of a bastard.
"So you followed her..."I drifted, letting him fill the empty space. I should at least save Derek's ass here and there.
"Her so called 'secret mission' was to buy SECRET products. I.E. deodorant, those perfume spray bottles, that kind of stuff."
"Oh, pffttttsss, really? That's it. Lameee," I said, rolling my eyes and taking a sip of my smoothie.
"Oh, I know. And THAT is why I may never follow my girlfriend when we are apart, again." Blake said , sucking up the last of his smoothie.
"Hey, guys," Bryan said with mock seriousness, gazing at his smoothie. "Have this thought ever crossed your mind before...?" He proceeded to take out those fake glasses again and continued. "Now that we are out of our growing spree, doesn't that mean most of this food is going to be turned into fat and we're going to end up like those fat old people?"
"Dude, one this is Bread Co. Most of this stuff is supposedly healthy food. Two, what the fuck is up with your head?!" Jaden said slapping him upside the head.
"Don't blame me! Blame yourselves." He pointed to each and every one of us, his voice wavering, like those old people. "You just keep hitting me upside the head, that is why I am like this!"
The result was all of us hitting him upside the head again. Bryan excused himself to go to the bathroom.
"So why was Bryan crying like a little boy without his action figure to the bathroom?" Jasmine asked, amused.
"Because we are bullies," Jaden replied, after kissing Becca.
"You know, Bryan may be girl-less, but I actually secretly hated her guts." Becca said.
"She barely made it pass the 'you're dateable' quiz. Sadly she is a better actress than I thought. I should've went with the 'would you eat fried worms just to date Bryan?' question. That would have been good."
"Alright, so I have to go," Jasmine pouted to Blake.
"Aww, okay bye have fun on your secret mission." he smiled at her.
"Oh I will, there will be- wait if I told you it wouldn't be a se-cret!" Jasmine said changing her pitches on practically every other syllable.
Blake laughed,"Alright. I'll see you later?"
"Mhmm," she agreed giving him a kiss.
Jay V sat down next to me, "so what are we doing today?"
"We're going to follow a certain girl. You're coming with us Blake." I said slapping his chest. Jasmine has left the Bread Co. We said our goodbyes quickly, and followed her out.
"Did you guys know, grey is actually a more appropriate spy gear than black? Reason bein-"
"Shut up!"I said slapping my hand over Blake's mouth. Jasmine looks over her shoulder, and her eyes glazes over and then snaps back to the front. She starts walking at a fast, yet steady pace.
"Let's go." I said. Her conspicuous neon green top covered by her leather jacket, dark wash skinny jeans, and her wild curly brown hair was so easy to spot.
Jasmine got in her car and started up the engine. We waved at her so we wouldn't seem too mysterious. She rolled down the window, and stuck her head out and looked straight at us.
"BYE!!!" she yelled, smiling brightly, but I could see through her facade. She was hiding something, something good (actually I mean baaaadddd).
"Bye sweetheart," Blake smiled broadly waving at her. He turned to us and mouthed 'keep going'
"And then, you wouldn't believe what Alyssa said,"I made up on the spot. "She called me a no good hoe! Can you believe her! Out of every- Let's get out of here." I said eyeing her black Accord, that's waiting for a right turn.
We climbed into Jay V's car and waited until she was gone until we began to trail her. I will admit, this car isn't the most inconspicuous car out there, a silver BMW M6. She started driving towards the movie theater, and then taking a right, a 'secret' way to get to the highway. Jay V followed her, three other cars between us.
"Blake can you see her?" I said, eyeing her side view mirror.
"Barely, but yeah."
We hit highway 270 and followed her into Chinatown. It seems that she doesn't know it's us because we are driving slightly faster than she is. Bad idea, I know, but it's only bad if she makes a turn. She parks the car at the Olive's Farmer's Market and goes to the back.
We parked and got out, walking into the market. It was an in and out type of thing. I bought three bottles of Japanese Soda pop, the ones with marbles in 'em that you push down. A pack of candles, and a lighter.
Okay, this may not seem like a dangerous combo, but it is. On the back part of the market contains a bad, and I mean bad neighborhood.
"She's in some serious shit man," Jay V said, and I watch as Blake balled up his fist, clenching his jaw.
"Come on, we should be in safe distance already!" "I saw her turning into that gang territory." Blake said hard.
"Aight,"I nodded, "let's go."
Step 1 attract attention to yourself in a positive way.
When people try to be discrete, it never works. We made it so we know that they are watching, but that we are also not suspicious.
"Haha," I shrieked loudly, "STOP it you two!"
"Clair, live a little will ya?" Blake smirked, chuckling a bit.
I shrieked again,"where the hell are we going?"
We continued to walk down the street, where we last saw Jasmine.
Step 2 make it seem as though you are also up to no good in order to make others not bother you.
"Come on, we're just going to have a little fun." Jay V smirked, sliding into the role play.
"I really have to go home soon though..." I pouted.
"No worries, my car is just around the corner."
"Really? Okay, then." I smiled brightly. As soon as we round the corner, we made sure no one was looking before we began to sprint. We ran past two alleyways, and on the third one we heard voices.
"Give me the money," a rough voice said.
"Do you have my order?" I heard Jasmine say.
"Hey," Blake whispered, "isn't this where Mr. Cheun's neighborhood?"
"Yeah," Jay V replied, equally quiet. "There, should be a backdoor exit."
"Give me my order first," Jasmine growled. "Or I shoot."I heard the gun make a click sound. "I won't hesitate."
"Fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!" I whispered frantically. Drug dealing, drug dealing, DRUG DEALING!!!!
"Good thing they didn't notice us earlier," I continued.
"Jay V, go to the other side, we send Clair as bait. I'll join in later."
"Are you completely and utterly insane?!" I whispered furiously. "This is a mother fucking illegal drug dealing, and you want to fucking go inside and interrupt?!"
Just then we heard a gun shot, the three of us froze. A moment later we heard a moan of pain, then nothing.
"Jake!" a voice screamed.
Jay V was a couple of feet away from me and Blake, towards where the turn off would be a few meters away. My eyes widen.
"SHIT!" The same rough voice said. "You'll pay Jazzy,"
"I said, give me my damn order. I never did like Jake. Good riddance. Give me my order!" she commanded.
Damn, Blake was dating a crazy ass bitch! She killed someone!
"Let's go," Blake said determined.
"Are you the one on drugs?!" I whisper-yelled.
"We can't go in there! We could die!"
"And so will Jasmine if we don't do something!" he eyes begged.
"No, it's too risky! One of US could get shot, even worse killed!!!"
"Yeah. tell that to Jay V all the way over there!"
His arm pointed. I turned my head to see Jay V round the corner, passing Mr. Cheun's house.
"Seriously, dude! This is not funny, we can't do it." I said, rationally. I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!!!
"Get down, on your knees, hands to your head." Jasmine commanded. It doesn't even sound like her anymore. The voice was gruff, tampered. As if she were a cold-hearted bitch in those action movies, who smokes a lot.
"Do you seriously care about her that much you'll risk your life for hers." I said with all seriousness.
"No, I mean yeah, I mean yes! Definately yes!" Blake said, like a lost puppy.
"Bitch, you owe me." I replied sighing.
I pushed past him and peeked into the alleyway. There were four guys total. One of them on the ground, bleeding, two on the ground on their fucking knees and hands to their heads like what Jasmine wanted. And I guess the leader of them, was standing. Facing Jasime.
"I thought you said you hated guns," the leader said, fearlessly. The gun cocked at him.
"I do, but I thought this was necessary," She smirked.
"Where's your boyfriend? How is Ben doing?" Her smirk dropped, and her face hardened. Wait..WHAT!!! I screamed in my head, I whipped my head back and stared at Blake. 'Oh no she didn't' I mouthed to him. 'Save her' he mouthed back. I gave him a doubtful look.
"Peachy, still in the hospital." Jasmine spat at him. Fuck, tell me she didn't still have feelings for this 'Ben' person.
"Well, I hope you've stayed far away from him as possible. We don't want to keep him in there...permanently," he smirked.
"I'll keep up my half of the deal if you keep yours." Jasmine said, anger clearly in her voice. Who the hell is this Ben guy!
"Now, be a good boy and slide over the dufflebag." she continued.
"I rather slide my body over yours," he said, disgusting, gruesome, grody, ass wipe, pervert old man!
"When heaven crumbles, and hell takes over. When the blood fills the entire ocean, and when the man I love comes breaking my heart, is the day I will allow you to live before touching me." She said feverishly.
The man smirked. Without bending down, he dropped the floral (pfffftt floral) dufflebag to the ground, and kicked it. It slid on the ground and stopped, when it reached Jasmine's feet. Jasmine kept her gun pointed at him and bent down.
"It's all there." he spoke, lighting up a cigerette. She glared at him, and proceeded to upzip it. I squited, was my eyesight good? Was I truly seeing stuffed animals?
"You can drop your weapon. We didn't bring any," The leader guy said, picking at his nails in a fashionably manner. I peered over the brick walling, and looked at Jasmine. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of me, keeping a composed face she took out a pack of cigerettes. SMOKER!!! My mind yelled.
She took a cigerette out and put it to her lips, then she proceeded into putting something at the end. "Poison dart," she said, "I have my eyes on you Randal." she grabbed a stuffed animal and unzipped it. Tiny packets of cocaine was stuffed inside.
"There are eight packets in each, 24 animals." Randal said, blowing out a cloud of smoke. Jasmine counted, then dug around in the duffle bag. Grabbing, I think the stuffed animal the most burried. She unzipped it and counted, then put it back in.
"Here's your money," she said and dropped an identical baby floral duffle bag.
Okay, that is seriously smart thinking on their parts. Who the hell checks stuffed animals and baby bags?! She kicked it up, and he caught it effortessly.
Just then I felt two strong hands grab my arms. They were rough and big. I slipped my hand into the pastic 'THANK YOU' bag, and grabbed a bottle of soda pop. I
swung it back, and hit his head, smashing it. I turned, and saw Blake, taking a swing. What the fuck?! Weren't they just behide that boss guy?!
I stumbled into the alleyway, and saw Jasime pointing the gun at the leader.
"Holy...fucking...shit." I said, and my eyes widened as i took in the position I was in. The big leader guy smiled at me.
"A friend of yours?"
"Never, I work alone. You know that." Jasmine replied, her voice still ice cold with no emotions. She didn't even glance at me.
"So cold Jazzy," said the Leader guy.
"But of course. It runs in the family."
"I don't doubt you." Said Leader dude.
"Call off Jeff will you? Oh, and leave as soon as you can. I wouldn't want to kill you...yet." Jasmine replied glaring at him, her lips pressed into a thin line.
"Jeff, Rodney, we are leaving." Leader guy said, taking three steps back. Jasmine followed his lead and took three steps back, halfway towards me.
That's when the police sirens started.
"Fucking hell," Jasmine kept her gaze on Leader guy as he ran, the two, (pffffttt) hooligans following him. "What the hell are you guys doing here?!"
"I followed you."
"No shit Clair. Get follow me and we can avoid the fuzz."
"Complication to that..."
"What?!" She said stopping at a gated door, scratch that, really shady, gated door.
"Blake and Jay V are here too."
"Hey, come out of here you pussies before I blow your fucking brains out f your head!" Jasmine screamed. I flinched, harsh. Her voice was still in that gruff, unnatural Jasmine voice.
"Come on, hurry." she pushed me into the room, Blake and Jay V followed in after. "I'm good at what I do, but if they catch me it's over. Go to the back room, blue door, go to the bed and to the medium sized mini door that the bed is over. You get it when you see it, but when you open the door there will be five sets of clothing. Take the clothing out and there will be nothing at first but Clair has to crawl in and it will sense your weight thus opening, I am not shitting you, a secret passage way. Get out from there, after you put the clothing back it. I'll explain everything later, just GET OUT." Jasmine explained, the sirens getting nearer.
"Come with us."
"I can't. Not yet." Jasmine said sternly to Blake.
"Why the hell not?" he spoke, harshness in his voice. Maybe the whole loving another man thing got to him. Shit I would feel the same way.
Cue police bursting through the door....now.
Flashforward to 10 minutes from previous scene before flashback.
"Okay, you guys are free to go now. " said officer tall brown hair.
"You do realized you scared the shit out of me right, Jared?" Jasmine said, a hand on her hip. The three officers smirked at her.
What. The. Fuck. Is. Going. On.
"Yeah, so sorry," said Jared, which was obviously not sorry.
"I seriously thought it wouldn't be the three of you, I mean comeon. Who else shows up mid deal?" she spoke casually. Blake seriously needs to find a new girlfriend.
"Yeah, hey, Ben says hi by the way." Jared spoke in a low voice. The two others leaning on their cruiser. The red and blue lights stopped flashing a long time ago, and we were just sitting on the curb as they called us in. Well, I'm thinking that's a bit staged now considering we are letting off on a drug dealing. Little unrealistic if you ask me.
"Tell him to stop trying to make contact with me."
"I have, and the other last fifty thousand times. He still loves you Jazzy." Jared said with all seriousness.
"I'm done with this. We're leaving." Jasmine tugged Blake, who was already on his feet the second they said we could leave.
"Yeah, nice one Jared." I muttered to him as we passed him by. "That guy she's dragging? Yeah, boyfriend. Way to bring up the ex and loving..ness....yeah."
"Look, Ben is my homie. I like Jazzy and him together. My bad, I didn't know. So sorry," he said with that sarcastic 'so sorry' thing again. Mother fucker.
"If you weren't a cop I would do so many illegal things to you." I spoke through gritted teeth. I swear if he made Blake feel any less than a person he views himself as I will kick him where the sun don't shine.
"Kinky," he winked. "Like what?"
"Kill you..." I said and smiled like a girl scout. "Have a nice day, officer."
