Connor's POV
The Night Before
"Why the hell are you letting them go?" Murphy charged at me speaking in German.
"She's a daughter of a mob boss, not the mob, no reason to off her" I replied in the same language. My brother was walking around in angry circles trying to wrap his head around everything that had transpired.
"They know what we look like" Murphy continued in the German dialect and pointed at the brunette who glanced back at us before following the blonde girl out of the alley.
"That blonde 'ill mak' sure nothin' is said 'bout us, no worries" I went back to speaking in English since the girls were no longer around.
"You got your 'ead on 'rong?" Murphy looked at me with his head tilted as I made sure I had everything that I came with.
"Oh, fuck off" I waved a hand at him trying to get him off my back, "Let's go 'ome" I said an walked towards the back of the alley so we could go out the same way we came in.
We arrived back at out apartment and I dragged my duffle bag into the room and threw it on my bed.
"Ya know, this killin' evil is 'ard work" Murphy complained flopping down in his bed and stretching. I looked at him and shook my head, Murphy acted like the younger brother even though we were twins, it was always good ol' Connor that took the big brother duties.
"Jesus, what time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes and groaning to myself.
"4 AM" Murphy groaned after he looked at his watch and plopped back down on his bed.
"Time to get some sleep, Doc is expecting us tonight" I started taking my clothes off as I walked over to my bed, as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out cold, and I dreamt of the night's events.
Cassidy's POV
Present Day
I continued to rev the engine as we sat at a stop light in downtown Boston, we were getting close to the Irish neighborhood but I was growing more impatient by the minute. It had started to get darker as we made our way further into the city, I hadn't realized that we had been at the precinct as long as we had been. I looked at the dash and saw that the clock read 7:00 apparently I had been driving for a little longer than I anticipated.
"Do you even know where you're going?" Melanie asked finally relaxing in the car. I looked around at the buildings as we drive down the street and I admitted to myself that I was lost, but I was never going to tell her that.
"Of course I know, it should be right down this street" I turned a corner and headed down a random street, I just prayed that it was the right one because if it wasn't I would never hear then end of it. When I saw the familiar sign for McGinty's I practically jumped for joy, I knew even though I was drunk half the times I'd been here I would find it with ease. I parked the car and lifted the door so I could get out I stretched my legs and closed my door as I waited fro Melanie to get out so I could lock down the car.
"I hate that car" Melanie protested as she glared at the piece of machinery.
"Oh get over it" I mumbled to myself, sometimes Melanie could be such a girl. We proceeded into the pub and walked right up to the counter.
"Hey Doc" I smiled as the elderly man behind the counter walked over to Melanie and I.
"Cassidy, nice to see ya, wher' ya been?" He asked grabbing my usual drink, a beer.
"Eh, I've been around" I smiled taking the bottle from him.
"And what'll it be for you lass, Fuck! Ass!" Doc asked Melanie as he had one of his extraordinary fits.
"Um I'll have a beer" Melanie hesitated and looked at me shocked.
"It's just a thing he does" I shrugged my shoulders and turned around on my bar stool so I could scan the crowd of people while I drank my beer. After a few minutes of sitting out in the open I nudged Melanie in the arm.
"What?" she asked in a hushed tone.
"I think it would be best if we sat somewhere a little less noticeable" I explained and we headed over to a table in the back corner of the bar. If the Saints came in I wanted to surprise them not the other way around. We sat there for another hour as I had two more beers Melanie stopped after her first because she wanted to be on high alert, but I knew it was because she couldn't handle alcohol and attractive men.
"Can I get ya anythin' else Cassidy?" Doc asked when he came to check on us.
"No, I've probably had enough beer for now, don't want to get too carried away" I smiled, "But I do have a question to ask you" He leaned in to listen carefully.
"Ask away, Fuck! Ass!" He stayed close and waited for my response.
"You know of two Irish boys names Connor and Murphy?" I knew that if they frequented this place Doc would know them.
"The MacManus twins a course I know 'em" Doc nodded his head.
"Are you expecting them to come in tonight?" I pushed further, if I was able to get information as to whether they would arrive then all this drinking wouldn't be for nothing.
"Ya, they com' in ev'ry Saturday night" Doc explained and I thanked him for his answers and gave him a sweet smile, "Now Cassidy, don' you go getting' involved wit' those brothers" He warned with a smile. If only he knew how I was going to get involved with the brothers, if he only knew.
Connor's POV
I kicked Murphy's bed as he continued to sleep but he didn't even move, lucky little bastard can sleep through anything. I grumbled to myself as I walked over to the shower in our apartment and undressed. I turned on the water and screamed out when the water hit me, it was ice cold and not hot like I preferred.
"The fuck you yellin' 'bout?" Murphy growled as he rubbed his eyes and looked at me angrily.
"Awe look who finally decided to wak' up" I turned and glared at him mockingly, "No fuckin' hot water in this place" I complained but gritted my teeth as I pushed on and finished showering. As soon as I was done Murphy got up and took a shower leaving me to get dressed. We finished our routines and started for the door.
"Wait" I stopped and walked back to my duffel bag and grabbed one of my guns and then threw Murphy one of his, "Ya never know" I shrugged and we walked out of our apartment and closed the door behind us. We made the short walk down to McGinty's and sat down at the bar to order some drinks.
"'Ey Doc 'ow are ya" I reached my hand across the bar to shake Doc's hand.
"Doin' fine, your usual boys?" He asked and I nodded releasing his hand and turning around on my stool just to take a quick glance at who was in the bar. I scanned the room and my eyes glazed over a very familiar blonde face staring right back at me, but I pretended not to notice and turned back around to grab my glass and have a drink with my brother.
"Ya know ther' were two lassies askin' 'bout ya earlier" Doc informed Murphy and I.
"Wouldn't happen to be the two sittin' over ther' in the corner" I shifted my head only slightly so that if the blonde was still watching me she wouldn't know I had spotted her.
"Ya, you know 'em" Doc asked.
"We may 'ave encountered them last night" I said nonchalantly taking a drink out of my glass.
"What, ya gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me, what 're they doin' 'ere" Murphy started to turn around to look but I quickly grabbed his arm to stop him from looking.
"They are 'ere for a reason, what I'm not sure" I watched as my brother turned back around and hit the bar slightly.
"Told ya we should 'a takin' care of 'em last night" Murphy complained.
"These lassies are connected to the boss ya took down las' night?" Doc asked concern crossing his face.
"Yeap" I replied trying to think of something I could do to make this situation less fucked, but all I could do was rub my head and think about my regrets from last night.
Cassidy's POV
I glanced down at my phone on the table to see what time it was and it was just past 9:00 I was getting really impatient sitting here waiting and the gun strapped to my thigh was beginning to burn a hole though my pants I was so anxious to use it. When I glanced up I almost missed Connor and Murphy walk up to the bar and order something. Connor reached across the bar and shook Doc's hand, I was beginning to regret asking about them coming in because obviously they were good friends with Doc. As I continued to watch their every move Connor turned around on his bar stool similar to how I had earlier he glanced over us but I locked eyes with him for a split second and I knew he had seen me.
"Mel, they're here" I told my cousin and she immediately tensed up.
"I think I'm gonna need another beer" She fidgeted in her seat. She started to get up out of her chair but I stopped her and told her to sit back down.
"I'll go get us another round" I explained and walked towards the bar, I was determined to make myself known so I walked to the end furthest away from our table and the closest to the boys.
"Hey Doc can I get two more beers" I held out a twenty folded in between two fingers and made sure to raise my voice just enough to get their attention. As I wait for Doc to get to me I saw Murphy eye me suspiciously but Connor never even glanced in my direction even though I was pressed up against him due to the lack of space in between the patrons.
"Hey little lady, why don't you let me buy you a drink" A burly man sitting on the other side of me asked and I turned to glare at him.
"Fuck off!" I said through clenched teeth and continued to wait for Doc to wait on me.
"'Ere ya go lass" Doc put the beers up on the counter and I handed him the twenty.
"Keep the change" I winked and started to pull away and purposely knocked one of the beers into Connor and dropped it, "Shit!" I yelled and turned to see this finally caught Connor's attention, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, it's just that it's so hard to fit in between to get a drink" I smiled and grabbed a few napkins off of the counter and bent down to mob up the beer. Connor watched me intently and never said as word, I was determined to play this as if I didn't remember who he was.
"Doc can I get another beer, I dropped this one on this gentleman" I leaned back onto the bar and waited once again.
"'Ere you can 'ave mine, save ya the trouble of waitin' again" Connor handed me a beer bottle that he stood up and grabbed from the other side of the counter.
"Thanks, that's mighty kind of you" I smiled and accidentally brushed my hand against his as I grabbed the bottle from him. I felt an electric shock and I blamed it on the fact that this man killed my father and all I wanted was revenge so I kept my cool and put the necks of the bottles between my fingers and reached out my left hand for a hand shake, "I'm Cassidy" I introduced myself. Connor took my hand and brought it up to his lips like a proper gentleman and laid a soft kiss upon the back of my hand.
"Connor" He smiled back as I felt heat rise to the surface of my cheeks.
"Nice to meet you Connor, and sorry about the beer, and thanks for the new one, my cousin will appreciate it" I nodded to Connor and made my way back to the table and handed Melanie her beer.
"What the hell was that all about?" She asked frantically and I just ignored her as I sat down and held up my beer to Connor who was still watching me from across the bar.
Connor's POV
"The hell was that 'bout" Murphy asked me as I watched Cassidy walk back to her table after she sat down she raised her beer in thanks and I raised my glass as a response. This woman was supposed to be the enemy but she was playing a deadly came of friend or foe.
