This chapter is a little shorter than my other ones; also the Liz scene is getting pushed into the Ch 7. It would have been longer but I had to type my paper and that unfortunately took precedence. Hope everyone enjoys this chapter.
Chapter 6
Crash Landing Motel; 7:30 p.m.
"Hey I'm going to Mickey D's. What do you want?" Sean shrugged on his dark blue buttoned down shirt leaving it open. His white t-shirt underneath is coated with dust. If he didn't want to bring attention to himself he'd forgo the over shirt.
"Two Big Macs, large fries, and a coke." Nick tossed the bags on the bed. He wouldn't bother unpacking, what would be the point? In a week they'd be on their way again.
Sean grabbed a twenty from the wad of cash in his pocket. He and Nick recently quit the two jobs they got to get some money. At times they were so broke they had to steal but for the most part they were able to get jobs to keep from pulling the five-finger-discount everywhere they went. "All right. I'll be back. Try not to get into too much trouble while I'm gone."
"Trouble? Don't know what you're talkin' about." Bullshit he knew, doesn't mean he had to acknowledge it.
"Right, when I went out to get dinner you found a pretty little thing with a big fucking boyfriend and he started kickin' the crap out of you."
"That was simply a misunderstanding. The poor girl was choking I was helping her." Nick smirked.
Sean rolled his eyes. "Uh-huh. You were helping her with your tongue? Yea that's how I help a choking victim." With a shake of his head he left the room.
When Nick's partner in Forsaken hunting left he took his weapons bag and set the guns on the table. Almost two years ago some bitch at a party bit him. One stupid mistake and his life was forever changed to the shit existence lived now.
Thankfully the cocktails continued to work on him, he didn't know when his time would run out but he hoped it was a long while from now. Nick sat back in the overly plush chair lining up the firearms and bullets, in everything else he was disorganized but in hunting he was almost rigid. He couldn't afford to be anything else.
That didn't mean he wasn't creative at taking the Forsaken out, the first time he took Sean out, after he'd been bitten the night before, on that bright hot morning he used a shovel on that bitch in the trunk. Just because he's able to go with the flow didn't mean there weren't rules he liked to stick by.
Carefully he began loading the firearms one by one, two years ago the only thing he had to worry about was starting his sophomore year of college. Then the party happened and no more normal life, no more happy future.
Now he lived one day at a time, searching and hoping…yea he had hope, just because it wasn't likely he'd ever find the Forsaken that started his journey didn't mean he gave up on hope all together. He remembered a simpler time, he had two parents who loved him, a little sister who was a pest but he'd never trade her in for another one, even had a dog that he threw Frisbee's too.
Nick's eyes burned with unshed tears, he couldn't think about them now, he had a job to do, after this was over he'd go back to Washington reunite with his family. He promised Erica, his sister, that he'd come back, he wouldn't break it.
Outside McDonald's; 7:40 p.m.
Sean hurried out of the Charger, he was hungry, and they hadn't grabbed a bite to eat since this morning. As he was walking in someone accidentally bumped into him.
"Oh, scuse me." A dark haired kid that reminded him of an asshole he knew of when he was in high school apologized.
"It's alright." The blonde behind him practically growled in annoyance at the dark haired guy and pushed passed him hurrying to a jeep a few spaces away from his car. "Don't mind me." He shouted angry at her attitude.
"Sorry about that. She's had a difficult day, I'm Max." He held out his hand.
Sean stared at the hand for him and decided to shake it, after all, this guy hadn't been rude. "Sean. What's her problem anyway?" Curiosity got the better of him.
"An old friend of hers showed up, she's a real whore, while we were together she slept with another guy and completely shoved Maria," he pointed to the blonde huffing in the jeep, "out of her life not telling her what was going on."
"Wow. Sorry to hear about that, but you really should tell her not to take her anger out on innocent bystanders." Sean quirked an eyebrow at him before turning around and heading into the restaurant.
