Ben paced the room silently, looking up every now and then at Drake, who stood staring at him looking extremely confused.
"I don't see why you are freaking out. It's like a break up, you got the cities and she got butt fucked" Drake was 28 years old which, while Ben thought it was a good thing to have a youngish guy in his gang, made Drake a very naive kid at times. Sure Ben had managed to take over both cities without his ex really noticing until they had a good hold over Stilwater and got their feet well and truly under the metaphorical table with Steelport, but Hayley seemed to be taking the cities back, well, Stilwater anyway.
"Your bitch of a sister has managed to take back saints row in 2 weeks!"
"It's one hood! Not an entire fucking district!" Drake knew it probably wasn't a fantastic idea to go head to head with the leader of the gang you're in, but it was worth a shot. Drake was actually mildly disappointed that Ben didn't answer him.
Hayley threw down the last box of stuff she had with her. Finally they owned Saints Row, and since ultor had modernised it few years back, it was full of apartments and penthouses for the saints to occupy. Having an actually apartment to live in and another one as base of operations was far better than a moth eaten sofa and a dining table.
It had been decided earlier that day that the airport would be a good place to take over, but it should be left until much later. The projects district was a fantastic place to start and they were going to start taking over that area later today. The one place they wouldn't take over yet was the red light district, as chances are Drake living there meant the gangs HQ was there too.
"Come in" Hayley said when she heard a knock at the door, and she was grateful to see it was DiAngelo and knock some stupid downtown gunner.
"Hey…Umm…so…" DiAngelo stuttered
"What?"
"Would you like to go out for a beer…with me?" Hayley was taken by surprise with the random proposition of a date, especially with everything else going on, but she eventually said yes anyway.
The date was interesting. Hayley discovered that DiAngelo had joined the saints because he was actually Carlos' cousin, and the couple times he talked to Carlos before he died and was zombified he heard how fun Carlos thought it was so decided to join himself.
As for DiAngelo, he first discovered Hayley's real name, and then found out she only joined the saints to show to her parents she could be a great gang member, not just her brothers, and really if it wasn't for that she probably would be married with kids working a regular 9 to 5 job by now.
The most interesting part was DiAngelo dropped her off at her apartment, kissed her, said goodbye and left. Didn't take her back to her apartment, make out with her, fuck her and then fuck off. In fact, Hayley couldn't remember the last time she went on a date that didn't end with sex, if ever there was a last time.
