Retirement Plans

Hey, what’s up with you huh?

You know what’s up with me.

I know you hate this situation but you should know that she could be a hope for us in finding our parents’ killer.

So, what should I do, pretend that I was okay to be around her and pretend that we are a team now?

Don’t pretend that we are a team, just don’t show your hate too much, we don’t when we will need her.

Do you really want her money that bad? because I don’t want a single penny that belongs to her.

I did not agree to work with her because of her money, I think you don’t really know what a cambion can do. even a nerd like you don’t know it. If we work together, do you even know what we can achieve? The power she can hold, it can turn those monsters out there into dust. She just doesn’t realise it yet.

So, you think if she realises what powers she holds do you think she will not go dark side, and work with the demon who is half her. You know what power can made people do. they can do nasty thing that they never thought are capable of.

You are forgetting something, you are right that she is half demon but you don’t see that she is half human too and she lived with humans, even Mowgli loved animals as his parents, maybe Jody can be like that too.

Maybe? We can’t work with your maybe.

Lets just do one thing.

What?

Let’s just work together until we know why demons are after her. They know she can kill them with just a snap of her fingers. And she thought they are trying to kill her. If we just let the things stay the way they are, this deal doesn’t seem too bad.

For how long do we have to do that?

A month at max.

Not a day more.

Okay. Promise. Do you want me to make a pinkie for you?

Shut up now, what are we gonna do now, rent a room or crash back to the abandoned house you loved taking showers at.

Oh, I almost forget about that. But I thought you didn’t like there. You didn’t feel like home there.

At least you showered there, you know you stinks when you don’t.

Come on ladies say I smell great in bed.

Maybe because they are unhygienic like you too.

You are hurting my feeling now.

Then stay clean more often dude, it won’t hurt.

What is the point to stay clean when you don’t have any lady to smell you?

That’s not why people bathe. Now stop arguing and drive. You ain't gonna win me on this one.

Okay, Mr. hulk. Whatever your orders are.

The house was still standing lonely, just how they left it. Kind of like looking for them to come back. The thing inside were also stayed the same. It was almost midnight when they got there, and for the first time in a while they didn’t bought any fast-food on their way, they actually brought some raw ingredients to cook it themselves. To say themselves it was more like reeve will cook for both of them.

What they bought wasn’t much, but it was enough to fill up their stomach, you don’t have choices when you walked into a supermarket that is about to be closed after all. What they got was some buns, meat, few spices and of course the most important thing, a pack of beer bottles. Just the ingredients they needed to put together an average burger. The ingredients were all brought by the big brother reeve while the younger one was in the car. Reeve was the muscle while Jim was the brains, so he has to keep their role at check. Burger would be the big boy’s first choice, even as kids whenever he didn’t feel like cooking anything, he would just feel Jim his burger. It was easy and tasty for them both.

Jim never said anything and just ate whatever reeve serve him, even if it was some stale bread, he would eat it. For him reeve’s cooking tasted like a mother’s food, reeve was his mother after all. He was the one who looked after him, through the good and through the bad.

You must be tired. Are you sure you wanna cook? We can just eat the bread and drink the beer.

It’s okay you go get freshen up, I’ll cook the burgers then we’ll eat and sleep.

Whatever you say. I'll never say no to your cooking.

I know you won’t.

- - - - - - - - -

Come the food is done.

Just a minute.

“It has been so long since I cooked, it almost felt like forever. This place feels like home,” Jim looked at his brother, “I mean a temporary home.”

Umm… the burger is good. It is better than any fast-food restaurant. You could have been tummy busters then ghost busters.

Ya I think I should open up a restaurant after I retire from all this.

What?

What? You don’t like the idea?

No, I mean you never said you want to retire from this. I thought you like doing this.

I know and I do like doing it. I like saving lives, kicking some asses, that is the best part. But I also would like a peaceful life. I don’t want to die doing this same thing my whole life.

It’s good that you think like that. We can both start a new life once we deal with that bastard. Just until then we can go on.

I don’t know if I can do it.

But why, I trust that you can do it.

I mean, look jimmy you are a college graduate. You can get any job you want, but me, I haven’t done anything other then this hunting thing. This is what I know, ya I can cook a thing or two but it is not enough to make a life. All I have is this job and you. I don’t know what to do if either one of you are not by my side.

What made you think I will go anywhere? We are brothers and we will always be together. Even if we are not hunting, we are brothers, we are connected by blood.

Did you see this? I just got goose bumps hearing you say that.

You are such a bummer.

Let’s just sleep for now, we don’t know what we have to do tomorrow but at least right now we can have a good night sleep.

It was morning, the sunlight beam was straining through the window inside the room. Reeve was still asleep completely unbothered by the amount of light. I have been long since he got a separate room from his brother, he was just enjoying his me time.

But no matter how deep his sleep was, he was still bothered by the sound of his cell phone ringing. Lazily he picked it and answered,

Hello,

“Hello, reeve” a female voice hit his ears.

“Jody?”

“yes, it’s me.”

“I had a nightmare.”

“okay and?”

“I think it was more like a vision just like the one I had when you were in Nebraska.”

“What did you see?”

“I saw a night club and I saw a man getting killed by something invisible.”

“do you remember anything else?”

“I saw the name of the club on the coaster of his glass. It was The Club Room.”

“you see anything else?”

“no just this.”

“okay me and jimmy will look into it. Thanks for letting me know.”
