When Worlds Collide

Chapter 18

It had been a few days since we last seen Roxanna, I am a man of honor and pride so it's never happened that I've pretty much begged for someone to join, usually they're the ones begging, but I don't know what it is, we need Roxanna in with us, she's too perfectly skilled and smart not to. Me and my brother are talking in my office, we do that a lot, he's my right hand man "if only she'd join us properly, I loved hoe she shot you down a few weeks ago" I said to my brother while we were talking, "our guys have been watching her, this chick is tough as nails. she makes Thor look weak...THOR! She can handle weapons, sells out what we give her in a week or less AND brakes bones when messed with" my brother replied shocked but impressed by Roxanna, I cant lie though I am too. "She is exactly what we need, not to mention she's smart as well" I replied with determination in my voice and I knew exactly how "yeah the way she's playing that copper, they've not been interested in investigating us, that's a really smart move of her" Thomas replied in awe of Roxanna's abilities. I had a plan, I knew exactly how to get her to join "I have a plan, it's a no brainer. We can even do it when she next comes to drop the cash off, so it won't be hard to getting her because she'll already be here" I explain to Thomas "oh do tell dear brother do tell" so then I tell Thomas the plan he winces slightly but that is because it is gruesome, and torture hahaha oh so true.so best keeping it a surprise for now.

I was out cold, I started to come to slightly, so like I was sort of asleep, 'where am I sleeping? it's so warm and soft...oh man its so soft and comfy, I've not slept on anything like this for well since I was a kid' I think to myself and I weren't telling lies, the last time I had somewhere warm and soft was the night before I got arrested 'must be on a bed, but whose?' I think to myself as my eyes start to open slightly I see Tobias sitting on the end of the bed, he's watching over me 'f**k! Of course!' I think to myself.

My head is pounding, my arm is hurting like hell, stupid Tobias! I let out a groan as I open my eyes....yup, that i***t is watching over me, uhhhh why?! Creep but his bed is so soft, I let out a groan, "hey sleeping beauty" Tobias says as I wake up, I've just woke up, why was I out in the first place? Damn my head man, now I wish I was high "shut up" I reply while I stretch and sit up, "well, aren't you a bundle of joy when you wake up" Tobias says sarcastically, I roll my eyes. I put my hand on my head as my head feels like its going to explode "oh man, I need to go smoke something, head is killin" I say feeling like s**t, I need to get another hit before I go through withdrawal "that would be a mix of the sedation and you being higher than a f*****g kite, you're not leaving this room, you need to recover" Tobias explained...well....more told, but no one tells me what to do "what I need is a good high, I'll be fine then" he weren't really happy with my reply, "you're not going for a smoke, now I'm going to get you a drink" he says standing up "ok" I reply simple, with that he leaves the room.

Great....I'm on my own, bored, starting to come down from the chilled buzz wait....hang on, 'he ain't said nada bout pills. He said I couldn't go for a smoke, but ain't said sod all bout my secret stash of ecstasy I keep hidden on me' I think to myself while I get the pills out, I look at the pills in my hand 'f**k it' I think to myself as I down them, I know 'ideally' it should only be 1 at a time but....meh, who cares, I need it. Before I knew it I was hanging upside down on the bed, everything was pretty cool upside down.

Tobias comes back in, he had a confused look on his face, but upside down it looks kinda funny, "what the hell you doing?" he asks, man everything is more amusing "you know, jus hangin around" I reply as I let out a slight chuckle, Tobias just sighed and shook his head "you're suppose to be recovering, now come on get back on the bed" "technically I am still on the bed" I answered him, I think by this time Tobias has given up with me, I chuckle inside, it's quite amusing to be honest, "whatever , I've got your drink of water here" he says passing me a bottle of water "cool, thanks" I reply as I sit back up on the bed, and open the bottle.

I enjoy having a big drink from the bottle of water, I love how cool and refreshing it is, "thanks dude, not drank since last night" "why?" "couldn't be bothered getting any an I ran out, that's it, so when are you next in work?" I ask trying to change the conversation "I'm off for a few days" "why? Like holiday?" "yes and no, yes it's like a holiday but no it's mandatory, law even that we have days off, I've never had a 'holiday pay' as such, I love my job too much" Tobias explains "what about you?", "what about me?" I ask confused, What are you up to? I know you don't work as such" "way to sweet talk a chick" I say extremely sarcastic, he just rolls his eyes.

"I happen to be performin tonigh, an no, you are NOT gunna stop me" "ok geez, I see you're still a firecracker" Tobias says taken a back by how I answered, I just shrug "meh" "do you want to hang out tomorrow?" he asks, 'I've wayyyy too much to do, shops to rob, drugs to deal, money to give to the main boss, gang duties...all illegal s**t, do I really want a cop hangin with me?.....yeah, not even in million years' I think to myself as I think of an answer, "I'd love to, but I can't" I say to answer Tobias's question, "why?" "coz I have a TON of stuff to do, got a very busy day tomorrow" I answer, I prepare for the 100 questions that usually follow...but knucklehead actually surprised me by replying 1 single word "ok", I sorry what? I guess he's starting to become more barrable as the days go by.
