Mimi watched her 4 year older brother Seth. He was angry for some reason. She couldn't help but study him. They couldn't run from being siblings with their curly, brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. They might look alike, but they were nothing alike.
He was outgoing and always made sure everyone noticed him. He couldn't walk unnoticed into a room. His body language was too loud. She on the other hand could walk through a crowded room without anyone noticing her. She had the ability to blend in and not make anything out of herself when it was needed. And it was needed a lot. She was often sent in if a threat needed to be delivered in public.
"That motherfucker!" Seth growled.
Mimi couldn't help but grin at her brother. He wanted everyone to know he was angry. He always liked the attention and the drama around him. He laid his eyes on her and sneered.
"What's so fucking funny?" Seth asked.
"Just tell us already, Seth," Mimi said. "We're all here. You asked us all to come, and we've come. Stop the drama king attitude and tell us what's bothering you."
"Roman's not here," Murphy pointed out.
"He's not fucking invited!" Seth yelled.
So Roman was apparently the reason for Seth's anger. Mimi kept her facial expression neutral as if Roman was nothing but another gang member to her. No one would ever know about her feelings for the 5 year older man. Roman himself didn't even know. He was Seth's friend and a trusted member of the gang, and that was all he was ever going to be. At least that was what he was until today. For some reason he had angered Seth.
"Alright, spill it," Mimi said. "What did Roman do to piss you off this royally?"
"He came on to me," Becky said.
Mimi turned her eyes to Seth's wife. It made sense why Seth was angry now. No one touched Becky. Roman knew this. And Roman had never given away any vibe to make Mimi think for one second he had any interest in Becky. It all seemed very strange to her.
"Was he drunk?" Mimi asked.
"Are you saying he only finds me attractive if he's drunk?" Becky asked offended.
"I mean, it is Roman, and it is you," Mimi said.
"Shut the fuck up or I'll cut you!" Seth threatened. "That's my wife!"
Mimi grinned again. Seth would never cut her. He liked to throw out threats when he was angry but he would never hurt her over a comment like this.
"Okay, Roman came on to Becky. So what do you want to be done? Shouldn't he just apologize?" Mimi asked.
"He grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall while saying that Seth didn't need to know. Do you honestly think an apology is enough? I refuse to accept it," Becky said.
"No one touches my wife and gets away with it," Seth said.
"Do you want me to beat him up?" Murphy asked.
"I want him dead!" Seth snarled.
Everyone became quiet. Even Dean who usually had a lot to say remained silent. It was one thing to kill a random person but a whole other thing to kill a gang member. That had never been done before. No one was eager to volunteer for that task. They all knew and cared for Roman, but some of them also feared him. He was big and strong and wouldn't go down without a fight.
"Mimi, you will go," Seth said.
"Why me?" Mimi asked.
"He's always had a soft spot for you," Seth said.
"No, he hasn't," Mimi said.
"Trust me. I've seen the way he looks at you. And he confessed it once to Dean who then stupidly enough got drunk and told me," Seth said.
"Shit," Dean mumbled.
"Shit indeed, but I thank you for it," Seth smirked. "Mimi, go take care of Roman. He won't see it coming. And you better fucking return with his ears as proof."
Mimi got up and started walking towards the door without a word.
"You're going right now?" Dean asked.
"Keep them here, Seth," Mimi said. "That way none of them will get the chance to warn him in case not everyone is as loyal as you think."
"I love you, sis," Seth chuckled.
"You better fucking remember that when I return after fighting that rapid dog," Mimi said.
"If," Dean mumbled. "If you return."
