The Score Chapter 2

A/N: Thanks for all your reviews; this is probably the most reviews I've ever had for one chapter so keep up the reviewing! Lol

Mickey gazed around the room at his team. Ash was pacing up and down the room, on the phone to someone. Albert was playing a card game with Stacie. Stacie was of course losing. Danny was on the laptop. He was supposed to be looking up all he could find about drug dealers, to help him get into the part, but Mickey knew he was probably playing games. Danny had a lot of qualities that were needed to be a grifter, but patience was not one of them. In any normal situation, Mickey would have yelled at him, and made sure he got back to serious work. Not today. Everyone was on edge as it was. And, Mickey reminded himself Danny's never let me down when it really mattered. He'll pull it off in the end.

Stacie got up off the sofa and came to stand behind Danny. Danny smiled shyly and got back to real work. If anything could motivate Danny to work, it was Stacie. Mickey new this, and regularly used it to his advantage. He knew Danny liked Stacie, a lot, and he wasn't sure how he felt about that. It didn't matter though. Stacie was adamant that she wouldn't screw people she worked with. And unfortunately, that included him too.

Mickey was woken from his thoughts by Ash's voice

"Mick, I've got a supply of drugs waiting to be bought, but we don't have much cash"

"Right, we'll just have to raise some then" he said, standing up. Ash got to his feet too.

"Are you coming Danny? Or are you just going to lie around all day playing solitaire?"

"I'm coming" he said, standing up quickly

"I'll help Danny" Stacie said

"Okay" Mickey agreed, ignoring the twinge of jealousy he felt "Let's go"
