Authors Note: Hello there good people I want to apologize for the delay with my computer crashing I lost everything but luckily I was able to get a new computer and I am now writing again. I love hearing back from people so if you like please send me a PM or a review. I like to know what you all think of the story and how I can make it better. Anyway Enjoy Chapter 9.
I can't believe I actually liked this movie as a kid Mike said to himself as they watched Leonard Part Six. Mike turned to Paige to see her interest in the film but her attention was focused on Nick and Brandi as they watched the movie from a few rows up. "Paige you need to stop staring" Mike whispered. "Mike they're hiding something and we need to find out what" Paige whispered back while still looking at Nick and Brandi. "I know but it's too risky right now we need to think of way to get in without being noticed. I saw that they have a security system. We can override their system and find out what they're hiding." Paige kept looking away from Mike then turned towards him. "Give me the transmitters we need to get audio in the entire house." Mike handed her the transmitters but could also feel the slight tension between them.
"Are you mad at me?" He asked
"No I'm not mad at you Mike. I can't let this go you know I can't." Mike took her hand into his, "I know and we're going to get in there." Paige smiled as she squeezed his hand, "I'll be back soon".
Paige made her way back inside and entered the kitchen first. She placed the first transmitter under the cupboard above the refrigerator. Looking out she saw Nick and Brandi still outside watching the movie so she headed to the garage. Inside she looked around and then placed the last one on the shelf above their tool area. Paige quickly texted Christy that the transmitters were all in place. Once Christy texted her back saying they were all operational Paige then headed back outside.
As she made her way down the hallway she heard a sound coming from the office. She brushed it off thinking it was her mind playing tricks on her. When she heard it again she stopped and turned towards the office. As she got to the door she paused, don't do it Paige go get Mike she said to herself but the door was already slightly open so she thought there was no harm in looking in. As she peered in she was surprised what she saw. Inside was Brandi with a bag of weed next to her rolling a joint. As Paige looked closer the door squeaked causing Brandi to look up. The two looked at one another for a bit before Brandi spoke, "So are you coming in?" Paige stepped in closing the door behind her.
"Thanks and can you lock it I don't want any nosy neighbors coming in" Brandi said with a smile. Paige laughed as she sat across from Brandi. "So I take it this what Nick was worried Mike would find in the office?"
"Yeah we don't really broadcast that we smoke and we were worried that Mike would freak out."
"No we're both cool with it in fact we smoke sometimes too."
"Well I thought you did but I would've never guessed Mike did. He seemed so square."
"Don't let my husband's exterior fool you. Deep down he's a bad boy"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah and whatever you do don't ever challenge him to a game of beer pong"
"I will keep that under advisement" Brandi lit up the joint taking a big hit. As she blew out the smoke another big smile came across her face. "This will make the movie much more enjoyable" she said as she offered the joint to Paige. "No thanks I'm not feeling it tonight but rain check"
"Just trying to be a friendly neighbor" she said a she continued to smoke
"I appreciate it Brandi. Can I see the bag?" Brandi handed over the bag and as Paige looked at it she thought of the bag Martin and Silvo showed her a few days ago. The buds looked almost the same but they were slightly off the color between the two was different and these seemed fuller. What gave it away for her was the smell. This weed was much stronger than the one the DEA had.
"Wow this is some serious shit. Where did you get this?"
"Actually I made it or I should say Nick and I made it."
"You made this?" Paige asked as she acted surprised.
"Yeah we created it when both our moms got cancer"
"Oh my God Brandi I'm sorry" Paige said with actual concern "Are they ok?"
"They both have been cancer free for close to a year now"
"That's great I'm happy for you both. So the cancer took a toll on both of them?"
"Yeah the rounds of chemo left them weak and the drugs they were given to counter the side effects of chemo were not working so Nick and I made this. It took us some time, many long nights with no sleep but it was all worth it when our moms started to feel a lot better after smoking it. With-in an hour of smoking this they were their old selves again. Even with doing the chemo."
"That's incredible Brandi. Did you document your findings?"
"Yeah we took notes and did video recordings of before and after it really is incredible"
"You should post your studies maybe the government will be interested in how this weed works"
"The sample size is too small once we get the test back from the other patients we will submit our findings. You want to know the best part about this weed."
"Besides you making it yourself and having an unlimited supply what else can there be?"
"The typical effects that you get when you smoke don't occur except for relaxing the body and easing one's pain. The only down side is that you still get blood shot eyes."
"You might have created some of the best weed in the world"
Brandi smiled and handed Paige two joints. "For you and Mike to enjoy later."
"Oh trust me I'm sure we will"
"We should be heading back the movie is almost over"
Paige sat down next to Mike placing a soft kiss on his cheek then resting her head on his shoulder. Mike wrapped his arm around her pulling Paige in close. "Someone's in a better mood. What did you find out?"
"Who said I found something out?" Paige asked innocently
"Paige you have been gone for over 20 minutes, Plus Brandi has been gone for about the same amount of time. You have also done a huge 180 in your attitude so it's either you found something or you're….
"Or I'm what?"
Mike looked deep in her eyes, "Are you high?"
"Sort of it's a long story which we will talk about at home" Mike wanted to ask more questions but he knew he wouldn't get any answers so he remained quiet as he and Paige watched the rest of the movie.
Once the movie was over Paige and Mike stayed behind and helped Brandi and Nick clean up. "You guys really didn't have to help Brandi and I could've done this on our own." Nick said as he and Mike took down the screen. "Paige and I are happy to help besides it's the least I can do for going in your office and browsing your Fleming collection."
"Mike I over reacted I should be apologizing to you not the other way around."
"You already did Nick so after this clean up let's call it even."
"Sounds good to me say what are your plans tomorrow?"
"Nothing really why?"
"Well Brandi wants to go in the office and catch up on some work so I was going to head to that bar that caters to Redskin fans. You want to go with me?"
"Yeah that would be great"
"Perfect it's a 1pm game so I will pick you up at noon"
"Works for me"
"Hey honey it's too late to do anything else and Mike and Paige should be getting home." Brandi said from the kitchen window. Nick nodded and as they walked inside he asked, "Why do we let the woman in our lives tell us what to do?" As they got to the front door and saw their wives standing there looking as beautiful as ever both Mike and Nick said "That's why"
"What?" the ladies asked
"Nothing babe so I'll see you tomorrow Mike"
"Yeah it's going to be a good time. You two have a good night"
As they walked back to their house Paige asked, "What's happening tomorrow?"
"I will tell you as soon as you tell me about getting high with Brandi"
