And the last chapter before the epilogue...
Yes, in two part, because... because it's better ! Enjoy !
Exposed - part one
The days before the ball were morose for Greg "Jenko".
He had decided to stop seeing Erik, in order focus on the mission because he and Schmidt were betting big. He didn't want to return to traffic, they deserved to get to a higher grade and the only way to do that was to succeed in this mission.
He just now thought that Erik could say in his statement that he had taken advantage of him... He could even talk about rape if he was out for revenge. Seeing how he got money, he could hire the best lawyers and Jenko would sink right alongside him …
Yes, that made him highly uncomfortable. He really missed him and that evening was magic. Under a fluff, they had talked, laughed, cuddled, had sex again before falling asleep in each other's hands. No one to wake them up in the morning.
Perfect evening.
Now he was in Schmidt's bathroom, trying to tie his tie for the ball. The other was there too. Both of them were somewhat nervous.
"Give it to me, you'll choke yourself at that rate." Said Schmidt, taking the tie for himself and handing Jenko his bow tie.
"Your gun is hanging, someone could see it" It was now Jenko's turn to help Schmidt.
They would stop at anything to stop this dealing ring, that's how they had taught.
"Dude, do you think we'll do it? "Asked the smaller unsure of himself. Even if Erik had asked them to be their bodyguards, they had been taught to always have some kind of back up.
"I have some contacts that could help us..." Jenko said before making some calls. They hadn't thought of coming to the dance tonight but now they would.
"But we also need bridle and a limo! Otherwise that won't do! "Said Schmidt following Jenko through the house.
"Sure, but we can ask the girls to help us. "Jenko answered by taking his phone and dialing a number. Schmidt followed him into his room not getting it. What girls? Fugazi and her team mate? They did not like him so he did not see why they would help them.
"Yes Bella, it's Jenko. You're not at the office are you? "
Schmidt did get it now.
Jenko was talking about Cinnamon and her girl friends, the prostitutes they used to see in the police station. Moreover, Schmidt always wondered if they weren't spending more time at the post office than in the streets. They were always smiling and didn't seem disturbed in the least by being arrested. Plus they were nice and funny. Schmidt sat on his bed and watched his teammate call to rent the limo and ... doves ?
"Dude! "Schmidt tried in vain but Jenko wasn't listening and asked a dozen of them. Was it really necessary? Jenko replied that nothing was too good for prom night. After all they didn't get to go to prom so they would give everything to this one. Well, Schmidt shrugged, if they had to risk their lives they might as well be the stars of the evening.
Suddenly Schmidt caught something in the living room as he passed in front of the photo wall.
One photo in particular caught his attention. A picture from middle school. He was overweight and had a curly tuft on his head. However on the photo he was not alone, he was next by another young man who had his head hidden with a soccer ball. Schmidt always wondered why his parents kept this photo but now that he thought about it, that photo did not seem as alien as before to him, he couldn't pinpoint why ...
Jenko coming by cut him off his thoughts.
High Five, they were going to smash this !
Xxx
Indeed the made quite an entrance.
Rock star like.
The limousine, doves, the girls & the Nerds. They were fabulous and those outside were looking at them with envy. Although some questioned the age of the young ladies, but the look Jenko gave them remind them silenced.
Both the doormen at the entrance let them in without problem. Tonight's theme was "An evening in Tijuana" and all the students were happy to found themselves there and dance to celebrate the end of the year. The small group split apart and Jenko tried not to get noticed. He was trying to avoid the headmaster but stumbled upon someone worse: Mrs Griggs.
"Brad, Brad what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here, the headmaster said ... Oh no, this is a no no, really not good ! "
She wasn't making any sense.
"I'm glad to see you but it is bad. Stay. "
Jenko laughed to hide his incomprehension and the embarrassment of his young science teacher. It was funny to see her like that, in the end he was more sorry for her than anything else, but when she slapped him for no reason, he wondered if it wasn't better to just arrest her. But she's disappeared as quickly as the slap on his cheek came.
"Wild eh? "
Jenko turned to see Erik big smile on his lips in front of him. Hands in the pockets, he was clad in a suit that probably cost half in yearly pay.
"Hey. "
"Hey. "
They stood at a safe distance, but they could not leave each other's gaze. Then Erik walked past Jenko telling him to follow him, they passed through the crowd, but no one paid attention to them. To see the state of some students, the officer was sure more than one had consumed either drugs or alcohol. Or both.
They came to the drinks' table and Erik poured a glass for Jenko telling him that it was non-alcoholic.
"Did Molly say something ? "Jenko had not yet had the opportunity to ask his boyfriend how the girl had taken their break up. Moreover he did not want to pinpoint he was a no show for Erik these past few days.
" No. She just asked if I left her for you." Erik quietly drank his glass by scanning the room. Jenko gasped in his glass. Had they been that obvious for Molly and Schmidt realize the truth? Although they were often together these past few months, but that did not necessarily mean they were ... yes, a couple.
"And ? " The policeman asked waiting.
" And what ? I said yes, of course. "
Erik shrugged and ran his hand along Jenko's back discreetly. Certainly, where they were, nobody could see them but he still would have liked for his drink to be alcoholic. He just shrugged his head.
"You know, I was thinking that once the transaction is finished, the holidays will be here ..." said the youngest. "We could go a week or two in Europe ? We would go to France, you said you spent some time there. "
Jenko looked down at his neighbor. He preferred to remain silent and was really happy to see Tommy head over, telling them that Domingo and his gang would be arriving soon. The officer followed them but Erik's question was making a loop in his head. How could he tell him that at the end of today he would head to prison. Obviously if things had been different, he would have gladly accepted but there...
They took Schmidt in the crowd who was talking with Molly. Looking at her, the poor girl was dancing alone and seemed drugged. But there was no room to worry about her.
However, more time was passing, things just got worse. Jenko would have preferred to take care of Molly. Because once again things did not go at all as planned.
First, when they returned to the hotel room and saw that it was Mr Walter the supplier Schmidt was flabbergasted. Not thinking that this simple teacher could be a drug dealer. Was a teacher's salary that low that he had to be a drug dealer? Bullshit! While the two officers had found him strange the first time they had seen him, they never suspected anything.
And Erik had said something that put Jenko ill at ease:
"How will you make friends with this behavior, we must give a chance to every guy dude. "
But the young man was quickly put back in his place. If he knew...
However, what surprised them more was when Molly arrived much later - probably between the third and fourth phase of HFS - completely berserk. Shouting against Schmidt and tapping against the door that he was a fucking cop, a fucking liar and a fucking jerk.
You just had to see Domingo's and his gang's face at the time. Not to mention Erik's.
"Dude ! You are a fucking cop !" His anger had turned to Schmidt "And you gave me this bracelet" Jenko rolled his eyes as the youngest vanity. And things escalated quickly after that. Was it when Molly came in the room? Or when two of the ZZTops turned out to be undercover agents and shots began to be fired from everywhere. Jenko barely had time to see Erik disappear in a side room and Mr Walter took Molly as a hostage.
It was hell.
Shots fired from left to right and them, Jenko and Schmidt, were behind the sofa trying to survive.
"Let's make it baby" it was said in the move and Schmidt looked at his teammate disillusioned not expecting it. They were not going to die in here!
"We need to get out of here man! "
That's what they tried to do after that, leaping above their couch heroically, weapon in hand, defying whoever tried to aim for them but unfortunately Schmidt tripped in sofa and fell miserably.
The two police officers were cornered, when they heard:
"Throw your weapon son of a bitch, if you don't want me to shoot you! "
That voice ...
"Ah! You too you are ... "A new shot was heard and the sound of a body that fell heavily to the ground.
It came from the next room.
From where the two policemen were, they could see arms on the floor. Guessing very well that the man was dead.
Jenko looked into Schmidt's eyes who was as surprised as him. Yes, they both recognized that voice.
