Lucas and Nathan are big time robbers along with their infamous crew. They are on the run from the cops, and decide to stop in South Carolina, Tree Hill. Here is the story….
"Alright boys let's settle down." I calmly replied in a low voice.
"Nathan's right. It's time for some serious shit. So shut the fuck up and listen to him." Lucas replied glancing around the table with fierce eyes.
"Sorry Nate." Skills sighed and leaned back in his seat.
With a low sigh I glanced around the tattered abandoned cabin. The wooden floors seared with dust, the walls looked black with age as a gush of wind whispered throughout the house. An age old smell bitterly attacked my nose as I started fiddling with the edge of my 9 mm.
We were on the outskirts of some small town named Tree Hill. Hidden in the backwoods was a hidden old abandon cabin that we found on our way here. It was a 3 bedroom place with a large bathroom, kitchen and a small living room with a fireplace.
"So we need money." I continued looking at the four men around me.
"Why don't we just rob the stores around here?" a tall guy with brown hair asked.
"Jake if we're trying to keep our cover, why would we want to blow it dick weed?" replied a scrawny pale kid.
"Look I was just asking. We need money, why not?" Jake smiled revealing his white teeth.
"Mouth is right. If we want to stay here for a little while we're going to have keep things on the down low. So how much we have left Mouth?" I asked with a stern voice. Mouth opened up his laptop and quickly typed a few keys. His face glowed with the bright blue light.
"Let's see, we only have about 5 grand left." Mouth nodded.
"What the fuck! How the hell did we spend $300,000 dollars?" Lucas jumped up from his seat.
"Hey don't look at me!" Skills rolled his eyes as he kicked his feet up on the table.
"Well let's see, we just came from Las Vegas and drove all the way here so we used more than a $1,000 on gas. We spent almost $100,000 on the casino's plus hotel costs. The rest we spent on our way up here like food and clothes." Mouth replied.
"Shit!" Lucas slammed his fists against the rickety table.
"I told you we shouldn't have gone to Vegas." Mouth sighed.
"Give it a break Mouth!" Jake replied shoving his fist into the scrawny kid's arm.
"Don't have to this time." Mouth smiled.
"What about our accounts? We have like millions in there. Can't we just use that?" Skills replied.
"Yeah but that's for when we get out of the country." Jake interrupted.
I rolled my eyes and slammed both hands onto the table. Silence took over immediately. All eyes were on me. The way it should always be.
"Now listen up. No more fucking around. Understand?" I raised my voice.
Every head nodded with compliance. "We are not touching any of our accounts…. That's for emergencies only! Now we only have 5 grand in cash. We can stay here for a couple of days just till the media dies down a little. Mouth will keep checking the cop's status and hook up the cable to the TV so we can watch the news. Skills I want you to gather up some firewood and start that fireplace up. Jake, you will get $600 dollars and in charge for getting us clothes. Lucas and I will be heading to the closest grocery store in town. Mouth is going to be making a list, so if you want anything in particular then give it to him." I announced out loud.
"Wait only $600 bucks for clothes?" Skills interrupted.
I eyed him. I bit down on my lip and fought the urge to smile. Skills loved his clothing. With a big breath of air I spoke slowly for him. "We don't have a lot of money Skills. For now we are just going to have to deal with what we got until we get another plan. Alright?"
Skills licked his lips and nodded.
"Alright, Lucas, and Jake we're leaving in 10. Everyone talk with Mouth about what you want." I repeated again before disappearing into the bathroom.
I flicked on the light. Luckily Mouth had hardwired the electricity in the cabin for us. If not, then we wouldn't be having any hot showers. Turning on the hot water faucet, I dipped my hands beneath the faucet. The heat tickled my hands as it absorbed into my skin. Then I slowly began washing my face. Pulling out a small razor kit from by bag in the corner, I started shaving the rugged edges of my jaw.
Have you ever wondered how you ever got to a certain point in your life? A point to where things just got completely off track. In my 18 years of life, I had never intended on becoming the nation's most wanted criminal. I certainly hadn't. I had a plan. I was going to graduate high school, go to college, and get an amazing job as a lawyer and get rich. Maybe later settle down with a wife, and have a couple of kids. That was the plan. My plan.
But as we know life takes you to some unexpected places. Normal kids my age only have to worry about graduating, and who they are taking to the prom. My worries consist of where to stay at and where to hide next. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous every time I ran into a group of teens laughing and having a good time with their friends. Despite the fact that Lucas and I don't have any living family, we like to call our crew our family. We made big headline news about 3 years ago. We had just robbed a high security bank in the upper east side of New York and made our way with 10 million dollars each. The news media called us The Lost Boys. But I believe what really made people freak out was our ages. I mean we were 15 year old high school dropouts with little education. The cops and media were in a frenzy with us. After that we began robbing more and more banks getting better and smarter with each new hit. By the time any of us knew it, we became the biggest and baddest criminals in the nation. We hid the money in different accounts and paid someone under the table to keep things looking normal. It would only be used for emergencies only. I mean we had enough money to retire 20 times over. But we only used cash for anything.
There are five of us to our team, including myself. The 1st is Lucas Scott, my brother. We call him 'The Planner' because his plans are flawless, and always can come up with a back door. The next is Mouth, aka 'The Bug' because he can just about hack and hardwire anything. Next is Jake aka 'The Weapon'. He was deadly with almost any gun and knife. Lastly we have Skills, aka 'The Athlete'…. Need I say more? The crew calls me 'The Leader' because I'm usually the one that keeps the group together and in one piece.
After turning off the faucet I changed into a dark red tight v neck shirt with some jeans and the new black Jordan's. With a big sigh I turned off the light and made my way to everyone. Everyone was huddled around Mouth. With a small sigh I made my presence known.
"You boys ready?" I asked Luke and Jake.
They both nodded. Mouth ripped a sheet of paper from his notebook and handed me a list. My eyes scanned down the list. I couldn't help but laugh as I read Itching Cream towards the bottom of the list.
"Who needs itching cream?" I laughed out loud. Lucas started smirking slightly as his eyes darted to Jake. A small smile broke out on his face.
"What? It's helps!" Jake responded.
Everyone laughed.
"Let's go itch boy." I mocked as I grabbed the keys. Cool air hit us as we made our way to our black 4 door truck. Jake clambered into the back while Lucas rode shotgun. We peeled out of the woods and made our way into the street.
"I believe town is down that way." Lucas pointed to the left as his eyes looked over a map. I nodded and followed his direction. After a few minutes we were in the middle of the small town.
"Holy shit! Is this all there really is?" Jake commented as I started parking outside.
"Yes. Now I guess just ask around where to buy clothes. Luke and I will be in here at the store. If you need us you know where we will be." I nodded getting off the truck.
Jake nodded and took off.
Lucas and I entered the small store. This isn't what we were used to. All of us were big city boys who was used to big stores with everything available.
I ripped up the list in half and gave Lucas the top half.
"Do you want to get the cream?" I asked.
"Me? Fuck no." Lucas shook his head.
"Come on you owe me!" I muttered.
He started laughing. "Fine rock paper scissors!" I pleaded.
He rolled his blue eyes and agreed.
"One.. two.. THREE!"
I held up a rock. He held up paper.
"FUCK!" I muttered under my breath.
"Sorry Bro… " Lucas laughed as he took off.
I rolled my eyes and looked at the first thing on my list. Toilet paper. Releasing a low breath I strolled over to an aisle. I began grabbing a couple of things off the list. Once I got everything needed the last thing left was the cream. I turned down to the last end of the aisle. I stood in front of the various creams and scratched the edge of my jaw. Which one do I get? I grabbed the first one and read the back of small tube. I heard loud giggling down the aisle. I turned in the direction of the noise and saw two girls laughing hysterically. I perked up an eye as I saw them glance over at me. One girl was a red head with straight hair and the other was a brunette. They were both hot. No lie. But the one that really got my attention was the brunette. The girls began whispering to each other and I turned away. I couldn't help but laugh. It had been a long long time since I had been with a girl. Being on the run didn't help matters at all.
I decided to take the cream and threw it my basket. I quickly got out of that aisle. I didn't need the trouble. Girls were always trouble. I ran into Lucas as I made my way down another couple of aisles.
"Slow your rolls man." Lucas remarked. "What's the rush?"
"Rush? I wasn't rushing." I defended.
"Dude it looked like you were running out of the aisle." He replied.
I looked down at my basket. "We should get going." I claimed. "You get everything?"
"Yep. All is good." Lucas spoke running through his basket.
"Let's head out." I nodded.
We made our way to the cashier. A young girl with huge glasses glared at us with dislike as she looked at our huge baskets. It took a good 20 minutes until she got through with both of our baskets.
"That'll be $695.75" the girl spoke rolling her eyes at me.
I took out a big wad of cash. Her eyes got huge as she looked at the bundle. I held out the cash in my hand. She didn't move or take it. She just stared at it.
Just then the two giggling girls stood in line behind us. I didn't need to look over at them cause I could feel their eyes on me. I clenched my jaw as I could feel my hands getting slightly sweaty.
"Are you going to take it or what?" I asked getting slightly irritated.
From the corner of my eye I could see Lucas checking out the girls. No doubt he would find them attractive.
"Sorry." The cashier nodded and grabbed the cash.
"Sup ladies." Lucas nodded his head to the girls. I shook my head as he tried flirting with them. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. Granted we hadn't been around a lot of girls, so his "game" was seriously off.
"Nothing much." One of the girls replied.
"Alright here's your change." The cashier nodded. With a small smile I grabbed as many bags as I could. Lucas continued eyeing the girls. I kicked the back of his leg.
"Let's go." I nodded and headed off to the door.
I didn't bother looking back. Girls are trouble. Girls are trouble.
When I got to the truck I carefully placed the bags in the bed of the big truck. After a couple of minutes Lucas immerged with his bags. It looked like he was struggling so I took a couple and placed them in the back.
"Those girls were fucking hot!" Lucas commented as he eyed the store door.
"They always are." I replied organizing the bags. I hopped into the bed of the truck to make sure none of the bags would flop open.
"They were rich." He spoke again.
"So?" I replied.
"Never mind..." He trailed off as the girls immerged from the store. The girls stopped near the front door of the store and looked over at us. They both smiled at us and began whispering to each other. I couldn't help but admire the brunette. She wore skin tight jeans with a bright brown jacket covering her small frame.
"Nathan!" a voice called from behind. I turned around and saw Jake coming up with a huge bundle of clothes.
"That better be $600 or less." I replied sternly.
He handed me the bags and I set them down.
"They are." He nodded.
"Alright." I sighed jumping off the back.
"What's Lucas staring at?" Jake asked as he followed Lucas's gaze. But then he suddenly understood.
"Ahh the ladies." Jake commented taking them in.
"Do you ladies need any help?" Lucas asked from the side of the truck.
"Not from you." The brunette spoke up with a teasing smile.
"OHHHH!" Jake laughed as he placed a hand to his mouth.
I laughed and hit Jake in the shoulder.
"But your friend in the red can." The red head jumped in.
Lucas spun around to me and smiled. I could feel my face beginning to get hot. Girls are trouble kept repeating in the back of my head.
"I think you ladies can handle it yourself." I announced out loud unlocking the truck doors. The girls both looked at each other taken aback by my remark.
"Time to get going boys." I replied to Lucas and Jake.
"Are you seriously turning down those hotties?" Jake asked incredulously.
"I've seen better." I replied nonchalantly and hopped into the truck, slamming the door. I turned on the truck and waited for the rest of them to get in. Jake got in the back but Lucas stayed standing outside my door. He looked like he kept changing his mind over something. After a few seconds he made up his mind and jogged up to the girls.
"He's fucked." Jake commented as Lucas started chatting away at the girls. I sighed and started tapping the steering wheel. After a few minutes Lucas waved at the girls and took off to the passenger side of the truck.
I slowly reversed the truck back. The girls stood where they were watching the truck back up.
"So? What happened?" Jake asked popping his head to the front.
"Nothing really… They asked for Nathan." Lucas replied giving me a cheesy smile.
"Which one?" Jake nudged my arm.
"Both." Lucas chuckled hitting my arm playfully.
"Shit!" Jake nodded with excitement.
"Yeah apparently your little comment to them kinda set them off."
"What?" I replied with confusion.
"They're not the type of girls you say no to."
"It doesn't matter what they say. It wouldn't have worked out." I replied.
"Dude you need a break!" Jake jumped in.
I pulled the truck up to the cabin. "Look this discussion is over. Were only staying here till we figure out how to get our hands on some cash. Then when we do we can start over in another country. A new life." I repeated with a low voice.
"Damn… an actual life! I can't even imagine that." Jake chuckled in a low tone.
"I'm gonna get married as soon as I get to my new life." Lucas replied as we all clambered out of the truck.
"You and me both kid." Jake nodded as they grabbed a load of bags. I honked on the horn for the others to get out here and help.
"Just a couple of days." I muttered out to myself.
