Red vs. Blue Just To Back It Up.
Chapter One.
At five am Church's alarm clock turned on and the radio man's voice chimed in causing Church to wake up unpleasantly.
"Hello and good morning Houston. I'm Jason Hancock and this is radio sixty five." Church grabbed his alarm clock and tossed it at the wall and it broke. After denying for a moment or two he sat up noticing he was alone then got dress then looked franticly around for his wallet. Needless to say he didn't find it or any sign of Tex and walked over to his phone and called her sitting down on his Tan leather couch. It rang six times then went to her voice mail,
"Hello this is Allison's voice mail. If your hearing this I didn't answer. I probably hate you or I'm busy. So stop calling me!!" Then it beeped and he left a message,
"Allison its me Leonard. I need my wallet back by tonight at eight." Then he hung up sitting his phone down then rubbing his hands. People would ask him if she did stuff like this a lot when he complained and he knew better then to say yes. One time he told them the truth and they told more people and the news started rolling around until Tex found out and she beat the shit out of him for it. After a quick panic he went and got ready to go to work.
--------------------
He walked into the window covered office building carrying a bag. Walking up the stairs was his delay work out since the elevator had been out for like two weeks. Then he walked past some of the cubicles and his co-workers greeted him with their usual looks of boredom then sat down at his desk thinking as usual. How the hell should I brake up with her? he thought as he sat in a blank stare. Then he started to write an e-mail reading,
Dear, Allison,
Listen I seriously am scared to death of you and I don't want to do this, but… I'm breaking up with you. I know you probably hate me for doing this again, but I seriously can't stand your attitude and your content cheating. Also your sneaking off. Cause I worry about you and I know it does seem like it at times, but I really do want to be with you. I'm sorry.
He looked at it touching his five o'clock shadow then started backspace all of it as his boss walked up.
"Hello Leonard."
"Hey Cathy."
"Having problems with Allison again?"
"That's one way to say it."
"Well just keep your head in your work for now." She walked off and he laid back in his chair.
---------------------
It was around eight pm and he was sitting in his living room nervously looking at his watch as he heard a knock he opened it quickly to see a man with dark Black hair and Brown eyes like him.
"You look stressed out brother."
"No, I'm not stressed out." Church let his brother in as he walked in then closed the door looking at his watch again.
"You look it to me."
"No."
"You better stop freaking out because I don't want that at my bachelor party."
"I know. Allison stole my wallet again."
"Shit. Have you called her?"
"Yeah. I was hoping she'd bring it back, but I don't see that happening." Then they heard a knock and Church answered it quickly to see Tex standing in the doorway giving him a nasty look.
"You a fucking jackass. You call me at five am whining about your wallet." She made her voice lighter for more, "Oh oh! I need my wallet to go out with my brother!"
"Just give me my fucking wallet." She threw it at him and he caught it looking in it to find it empty.
"Hey Don." She waved to his brother and he waved back.
"Its empty!!"
"You said you wanted your wallet back. Not the money or cards."
"Give me it all back you little smart ass."
"Here." She threw his cards and two dollars at him and onto the floor. He picked them up giving her a nasty look then standing up and walking over to his brother.
"Lets go."
"Sounds good to me." They walked out the door pushing Tex out of the way. When Church walked by he whispered to her,
"Bitch."
"Asshole." He walked off to the right and she walked off toward the left.
---------------------------
It was the morning after the bachelor party on a Saturday. Church sat up at eight am as the sunshine. He growled hitting his head with his pillow hearing someone's head hit the bed.
"Ow!" A girl's voice yelled then he looked to see a Black hair women with Green eyes staring at him.
"Give me back my pillow." She grabbed it sitting it back. He sat up and looked around to see both of their clothes and he looked around then heard a knock at the door.
"SHIT!!! I slept with another women and Allison is at the door! You have to get dressed and hide in the closet or something!" Saying this he jumped up getting dressed quickly and throwing her clothes to her.
"Allison?"
"My crazy girl friend! Now hide!" The knocks got louder then Tex shouted,
"Open the door before I bust it down again!" He pushed the girl in the closet as she got dressed. Then he ran opening the door smiling nervously she only gave him a nasty look walking in.
"Uh.. Hi."
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"What do you mean." He closed the door as she walked around aimlessly.
"your hair is a mess and you look like a walking zombie."
"I was up late last night and you woke me up."
"You slept in your clothes? Doesn't sound much like you."
"I got drunk. I mean REALLY drunk. What did you do last night?"
"What did I do? Nothing. I had no money, no man, no friends."
"So you did nothing?"
"yes. What don't you get about that? Is your brain to small to process it?"
"No. Just a little dull." She walked into his bedroom and he watched nervously biting his lip. After a quick second she sat down on his bed and looked at the pillow the girl had been laying on. She saw one Black hair and grabbed it as she didn't look at him.
"Where'd you come from anyway?"
"My apartment dumb ass." Then she looked at it with one eye closed with Church in the background.
"I just wasn't sure."
"Well I figured I better make sure you didn't bring anyone back home." She dropped it onto the ground looking at the closet door to see the light on.
"Nope." She walked up to the closet door and he stopped her standing in front of it.
"Get out of my way."
"I'm reorganizing it and it's a mess. Dangerous."
"Then why the hell is the light on you lying ass?"
"I told you messy. I'll turn it off."
"Answer my question." She said grabbing his shirt and he flinched.
"I left it on last night!"
"You were at a party! Your hiding a women aren't you!?" She pushed him away opening the closet door and seeing no one inside She turned and looked at him and he smiled as she closed the door.
"I'm not lying."
"I see." She walked toward the front door.
"You leaving already? I could make you breakfast."
"No. I have stuff to do. Bye." She walked out and closed the door. He sighed and the girl walked out of the closet.
"How the hell did you hide like that?"
"I'm pretty stealthy."
"I'm so sorry about what happened last night." He said with a frown then she smiled.
"Its okay. By the way I'm Marry."
"Leonard. Can we start over? As friends?"
"sure." She shook his hand and he shook hers. She smiled and he looked around nervously.
--------------------------
It had been two weeks and Church was walking around with Marry. They stopped at an electronic store's window display to see TVS turned to a news channel. Then they continued walking and walked past to a gun store. Church stopped looking through the window to see Tex talking to the young twenty four or twenty three year old man. She was holding her head up by her hand as her elbow rested on the desk he looked like he wanted her which made Church uncomfortable then Marry turned around looking at him.
"what is it Leonard?'
"Allison is in there. It looks like she's flirting with the guy at the counter." She looked through to see Tex smiling at him then turned and saw Church. She held up one finger then ran out to Church as the guy checked out her butt.
"Leonard? What are you doing here?"
"I was just looking around when I saw you flirting that guy up in there."
"I was not flirting with him! I was buying a new pistol."
"It my age? I always see you flirting with younger guys."
"I was not flirting! I like you because your older then me."
"Why would you like me for that?"
"Because your older and more experienced. And wiser."
"Is that it?"
"What the hell do you want from me?! That you're a fucking god and I worship you!!"
"That's a start." She smacked him and walked back in.
"DUMB ASS!!!"
"BITCH!!" He sighed and started and Marry followed.
"You need to get away from her."
"I know."
"Then why not?"
"Its not that easy."
"Then do it through letter or e-mail if your scared."
"To avoid her I'd have to change my name and move to New Mexico."
"Why did you ever go out with her?"
"Please just stay out of stuff you don't belong in."
"Okay. So I better go back to my place."
"Okay." She kissed him on the cheek and walked off and he stood still.
-------------------
Church was watching sports in his living room as a storm brewed outside. Then without warning the door opened quickly and Tex rushed in closing the door quickly. She ran over to him turning off his light and TV.
"I have to hide!!"
"Why?" She pulled him into the bathroom and shut the door.
"I got in some trouble and the cops followed me here."
"And why did you come here?" Then they heard a loud knock at the door and tex bit her lip.
"Cops! Open up!"
"Don't tell them I'm here! Go!"
"You want me to lie to the cops!?"
'Go!" She pushed him out of the bathroom then closed the door again. He swallowed then spoke while walking over,
'Coming!" He answered to find to cops with their hands on their guns.
"What's wrong officers?"
"We're looking for an Allison. We saw her run in here. We heard that you're her boyfriend and we thought she might come to you."
'Uh.. I haven't seen her."
"Can we search your house?"
"Uh.. Why?'
"Are you okay sir? You seem a little nervous."
"Bad habit. But I haven't seen her since the other night when we had a huge fight. What did she do?"
"We caught her breaking into this women's house down the street. We chased her to this apartment complex."
'So she was breaking and entering?"
"That's ONE of her charges."
"One?"
'She's also been charged with murder of a guy named Paul Johnson. Also for selling weapons illegally."
"That's it? I was expecting more."
"Well there is an assault and fleeing from cops."
"Is she considered dangerous?"
"Highly."
"Shit. Well I'll call you if I see her." The cops looked at him strangely then walked away.
"Thanks for your time."
'No, problem." He shut the door then sighed leaning against it with his eyes closed. Then she ran out of the bathroom.
"Thanks! I can't believe you just did that!" He frowned at her then responded,
"Assault, fleeing, murder, selling weapons illegally, and breaking and entering!!?"
"Uh.. Well."
"Holy shit you're a mess women!"
"The weapons thing wasn't me."
"Who was it!? Your identical twin sister!!?"
"No! I don't have a family! You know that! All they saw was the person's hair! I was buying! Not selling!"
"still illegal!"
"I know! Anyway. Can I hide out here for a couple weeks?"
"Hell no! If you want to hide from the cops go stay with your friend Amanda!"
"You know she wasn't talked to me since the day I made her lie to the cops!"
"well no shit! I can't believe I just did that! If I get caught I could be charged with working with you and go to jail!"
"I never get caught and you won't either."
"Well I won't. Because I'm never lying for you again! That's the third time you pulled this shit on me! I'm done with it! Get the hell out of my apartment and get the hell away from me!"
"are you breaking up with me!?"
"what's it sound like!?"
"Well fuck you! I don't need you or anything else from you!" She pushed him out of the way and left slamming the door shut. He locked it walking sadly into his bed room then laying on his bed.
