We met up with Miguel and Ashley, who had taken the truck, about two miles from the bank and started deciding how we would get everything done. Ashley had brought our bags to carry the cash out of, custom-tailored to not blow up in case it was shot at, and enough ammo for the big gun for us to get in, get out, and still have ammo to let Jack fire back at anyone tailing us. Derek was with Jade and Johnny with Nicki who was working with a friend of Miguel to get the EMP set up. Supposedly it had a small enough range for it to only affect the electronics inside the building, Jade and Derek had the same job that Miguel and Ashley had: Keep the cops and any reinforcements they bring in busy while Jack and myself got the cash, today was 'transfer day' which meant they were getting all the cash from this year ready to a more secure safe somewhere in the middle of nowhere, so it was today or never. We pulled up to El Oro and Jack followed me into the bank, while Ashley got in the gunner's sea

We sped home and luckily made it home with twenty minutes to spare, and rushed inside to see Derek pacing back and forth, he didn't look too happy about us being home that late. I was about to explain when he slugged me across the jaw."I deserve that, but try again and I'll slit your throat.""I've been stressed out over this, so quit your bitching about a small punch and go get Johnny, lead him to the garage and we'll see how this goes," He said and walked towards the garage with a heavy pace, normally I would go off at him but I didn't care enough to, so I walked over to Johnny's room and grabbed him by the arm."Hey! Where are we going?""Your presence has been requested at the garage," I said and continued tugging him along, "If you don't come, that's your choice, but I'll just throw you over my shoulder and carry you there anyway, so don't bitch right now.""Jeez, did Derek slug you again?" He asked as I opened up the garage for him and followed him in."Yes, and there he is," I

When we got home, 'Inside the Fire' by Disturbed was playing, and as with every other song ever, we were singing it as we made our way up to our room."GIVE YOUR SOUL TO ME, FOR ETERNITY, RELEASE YOUR LIFE TO BEGIN ANOTHER TIME WITH-" we scream sang until Nicki yelled something "ALEX!""SHUT IT!!" I yelled back and pulled my hoodie up before opening my door and closing it behind Jack. He was laughing when I shoved him towards the bed and grabbed a couple of Xbox controllers, and my drink."That was funny, you have to admit that," He said, chuckling, as I flipped him and continued mumble singing the lyrics to the song."Give your soul to me, for eternity, release your life to begin another time with her! End your grief with me, there's another way, release your life and take your place inside the fire with her!" I sang as the song ended, with a slow sarcastic clap for Jack."Technically, wouldn't it be 'him' in your case since your Hell-spawn?""Yeah, I guess, but it's just a song. Fuc

"I solemnly swear I'll be good...that just doesn't roll off the tongue as well as the original though, I wanna be up to no good.""Go back home and get some clean clothes on, I'm taking you to dinner.""Wait, w-what?""You heard me," She said and got really close to my face, and in almost a mumble, "See ya in an hour.""A-alright then," I said as she shifted and ran off in the opposite direction..."What the actual fuck just happened?!""You got asked out on a date, Jacob," Jack said from behind me, I was still on edge and nearly jumped out of my skin."You're a piece of shit and you know it!" I said, trying to catch my breath, it wasn't often that I was caught off guard, but when it did it was mostly Jack and that made me want to punch him."Come on, let's get you ready. You're not chickening out here.""Go fuck yourself," I said, opening a portal to my room and deciding on what to wear, it was either a clean hoodie and jeans, or my leather jacket, beanie, and jeans."Go with the bean

I walked up to my room, Nicki and Jack tailing me asking all kinds of questions ranging from "Did you have fun?" to "Do you think you'll have another one soon? Or better?"."Let me at least get a soda, y'all, I need caffeine before I answer questions," I said as we got to my room, I knew there wasn't a point in trying to get them to leave me be, they were determined to find out as much as they could about what happened, regardless of whether or not I was comfortable with talking about it. So, I got a two-liter of Big Red out of the fridge next to my bed, poured some Lucifer's cola mix into a 52 oz cup, added some ice, and filled it with the soda, I needed as much caffeine as I could get."Okay, let's start simple, yeah? Nothing to overwhelm you. How did it go and did you have fun?""Yeah, I had a lot of fun, throwing some fuckwit into oncoming traffic was a nice touch and we talked for a solid couple of hours about random shit. We-""Wait wait wait, what the actual fuck?! Who'd you th
