25 : No Brakes
"We worked for him, a couple years before the painting, it was his and we couldn't give you it. He didn't like mistakes so we tried to keep everything spotless"
Veronica said
"He thinks we're dead, since that's the only way to escape his hold" Paige added.
"Why didn't you tell us that sooner?" Seth said.
"We weren't sure you guys would trust us...we worked for the enemy" Veronica said.
Curt and Jimmy sat in the room and looked at the girls.
"I did say Hunter was looking for his diamonds. As long as he doesn't find one, you guys will be safe"
"So...why did you run with his diamonds?"
"We were getting sick of his treatment, no decent pay, like he owned us. That was the last straw, we decided to make a run for it and take his precious diamonds but you guys ruined our plan" Veronica said.
"I wouldn't apologise for that, ice princess" Dean said.
"It's fine, what happened, happened"
"Where are the diamonds now?" Jimmy said.
The team looked at each other and thought. Veronica kept on looking at Jimmy.
"We..." Veronica started "shit!" She looked at Dean "it was in the car!"
Dean's eyes widened as he heard that.
"Oh, fuck!" He said as he quickly got up and grabbed her arm. "We have to go"
"Wait! Where?!" Seth said "no more secrets, we work as a team. We're in this together"
"Okay, me and Dean kept the diamonds in the car...away from you, we didn't take them so we have to go get them before someone else does"
"Then let's go, guys"
"Can I go? For backup" Jimmy said as he got up.
"I don't know if we can trust a Saints' guy" Dean said.
"I say we do, he just did a job with you guys, besides, how bad can it be?" Veronica said.
"Fine. Whatever, let's move" Dean walked out.
"Then it's me, Dean and Jacobs. Hawkins, you stay here with the girls?"
"What? We can't go?" Paige said.
"Sorry, stay here" Seth said as he walked out with Dean and Jimmy.
"Okay...we need another fucking car, goddammit!" Seth said as remembered the car being destroyed.
"Leave it me" Dean said as he spread his arms at the complex parking lot. "Which car do you want?"
"Are you serious?" Seth said.
"Big, wide parking just sitting there for us to choose which car we wanna take, now make a pick"
Seth looked around, he saw Jimmy walking to a car and pushing a screwdriver in the key hole, unlocking it. They both looked at him.
"Did you wanna unlock the car?..." Jimmy said.
"No, no. Good job, you made a good choice" Seth said as him and Dean got in the car, driving away to the trailer. When they got there, the burnt trailer and SUV were still there, not that anyone would move them anyways.
"Wow, what happened here?" Jimmy said as he stopped the car.
"Shit went down, that's what"
Seth said.
Dean got out of the car and quickly made his way to the car, looking inside the window for the diamonds. Something glistened in the sunlight, Dean picked it up and looked at it. It was a diamond. The HHH marked one. He looked around for more but there was no more.
"It's gone. The bag is gone, I only found this one. Some bastard took it. Must be those filthy bikers, I say we go over there and teach those little fuckers not to mess with us, maybe torch their little club on fire"
"No, leave it alone. We don't need attention" Seth said.
"There goes the girls..we lost the diamonds" Dean said.
"You're acting as if Hunter knows, he doesn't. Look, with the money we just stole, we could just start over here...again. Plan Swagger's death carefully then execute that plan. It will be just as satisfying for all of us, it's only fair" Seth said as he put his hand on Dean's shoulder. Dean nodded and looked at Seth.
"Okay, you probably are right. But if we ever operate that plan, you need to give me Swagger"
"You got it" Seth said as he got in the car, Dean getting in the car then driving away.
They parked the car as soon as they reached the apartment in the parking
lot. Seth got out, followed by Dean and Jimmy. They made their way up the stairs and knocked on the door. Hawkins opened the door for them and they walked in. Paige and Veronica came running to them as they saw them arrive.
"So? What did you find?" Veronica said.
"Nothing at all, the diamonds must've gotten lost with the explosion, that or someone took them" Seth explained to them. Jimmy just walked in and sat on the couch. Dean eyed him for a while then grabbed Veronica's arm, leading her into the kitchen.
"I'm glad you guys are okay, we'll take care of the diamonds some other time" Paige said.
"What's with you?" Veronica asked Dean in the kitchen.
"I don't trust that guy" he whispered.
"Which one?"
"The Jimmy Jacobs guy. I just don't trust him and I need to keep an eye on him"
"Okay...then do it"
"No, I would be too visible. I need you to do it, V"
"What? Why me?"
"He'll never suspect that you are keeping a close eye on him" he said as he looked at Jimmy.
"Dean, really..."
"C'mon, we're good here, right? Do it for me" he said as he looked down at her.
"What is going on here?" Seth said as he walked into the kitchen.
Veronica looked at Dean then looked at Seth.
"I'm planning for V to watch Jacobs"
"No, no, no. I'm sorry, Dean."
"What do you mean, sorry? I'm gonna let Veronica watch him. For safe keeping"
"No, don't send a girl to do it. You do it" he said as he stood in front Veronica.
"Go away, Rollins. Me and Veronica have this figured out"
"Dean, please. We can't deal with more solo acts, we have to straighen our shit out. You can say it how it is, you don't trust Jacobs. That's fine, but tell us"
"Fine, I say we keep a close eye on him"
"I have that covered, we're going to settle down for a few months then we do our big move. The move that settles everything"
"Killing Swagger" Dean said.
"Exactly, then we rise again. Like the old days"
Dean smirked and nodded.
Veronica watched as the men talked, then drowned into thoughts of her own.
"So, don't do anything?"
"fine, I won't" Dean said as he walked out.
Seth looked at Veronica.
"When will this end?" Seth said to Veronica.
"Just cause' you guys get along, it's your own team now?"
"No, he just had a valid op-"
"Quit making assumptions. This isn't gonna help"
"I didn't do anything...you know what? Fuck you"
"You're damn right. Quit planning with Dean"
Veronica got angry then attempted to slap Seth, but Seth grabbed her hand, preventing the slap from connecting and looked at her, she looked back at him in anger.
"Egotistical bastard" she said.
"Annoying bitch. Happy now?"
Veronica pushed Seth away then left the kitchen leaving him there.
Dean walked out to the parking lot to smoke, he lit up the cigarette and looked around. He saw a figure sitting in the darkness. He slowly approached It and saw it was Paige. He exhaled and sat next to her.
"You're out here? Why sitting here alone?"
"Oh...it's you. I was just feeling homesick..it's been a while"
"10 months. Yeah"
She smiled at Dean then nodded. "Yeah, a long time"
"Relax, you got us. We're here for you." Dean said as he rubbed her shoulder.
