Chapter 21: Mining And Dining
Three weeks after meeting Chelsea, Sunny still felt weirded out by her. It wasn't the tattoos, the piercings, the thing around her nose or her goofy-if not-crazy behavior. She was weird looking but she always meant well. Roberta actually got to meet Chelsea when she unexpectedly showed up at their house. Roberta automatically thought that she was a girl with a funny personality, while Chelsea thought Roberta was rather beautiful and that Sunny was lucky to have her as a girlfriend; which flattered Roberta a lot. Whenever Chelsea was over their house, Sunny would search her pockets before she would leave and of course would pull out items that did belong to them. From expensive looking wine to some spare keys and a peculiar...toy that belonged to Roberta. Sunny would of get really irritated at her for taking things that don't belong to her, who in turn would just give a crazy smirk and say "Oh come on! I'm just having fun! Nothing wrong with that!".
Geraldine on the other hand still didn't trust seem to trust her. Aside from her crazy behavior, she still kept her at a distance. She looked at her and saw someone from a freak show. She didn't like the idea of her being at their side; she was still at mad at her for the whole thing with her phone. Geraldine was a bounty hunter, Sunny thought that it was natural to be suspicious of Chelsea; after all they didn't know her that well. She would always give Sunny the eye because of her suspicions, Sunny looked back at her not budging over her decision "Look, like I said, if everything works out then we're good; if it doesn't then you know what to do" she reminded her. It still didn't make Geraldine feel better but she won't go against Sunny. But of course Geraldine doesn't trust someone as easily, it takes a lot of time for her to trust someone.
Sunny herself thought something else of Chelsea. Something about her reminded her of someone. Like she's seen her somewhere before, she doesn't know where though. While she did help Sunny with the safe job at the Maze Arena, Chelsea just seemed eager to prove to her that she was capable of doing something. She didn't mind her crazy smile but it was really annoying when she had to pat her down and find things that she attempted to steal from them. She said that she was a soldier back home in Australia but she sure didn't act like one, Sunny had yet seen her skills with guns. And she claimed she was good with things that went boom, hopefully it doesn't get the three of them killed. Just like Geraldine, Sunny kept her at a distance and always had to take everything into account if she tried to take something from them. Sunny even gave her fair warning of what would happen if she tried to take anything from them. Chelsea of course, would smile and take everything very light heartily with not a care in the world.
Sunny pulls a Sprunk out of the fridge and tries to think. Park is still thinking about Park. Somethings not right here, she knows something was up with him; especially since that cough that she saw before. Something about that made her nerves feel uneasy, she wonders what really is going on. And also wonders what was it that he read on that paper. She hates it when she doesn't have any answers. She pops the can open and begins to drink the soda.
Knock! Knock!
She goes the door and there stands Geraldine with a not so subtle look. Chelsea comes up from behind her and seeing her two new compatriots has a big crazy smile on her face. "Hiya! How ya doing?" she happily greeted "Uh hi Chelsea" Sunny uneasily greeted back as she looked at Geraldine with a questioning look "I don't know why she's here, she was just waitin' outside your place when I got here" she said with a sigh. Chelsea runs towards the kitchen to try too find something to eat "Hey! What did I say about going through my fridge!" Sunny scolded her "But I'm hungry" she said as she pulled out a packet of cold cuts and began to peel some of the slices off the paper. Chelsea inserts at least five slices into her mouth. "Damn it, now I got to get another packet!" Sunny complained "I told you before, I don't have any diseases" Chelsea says as she finishes her impromptu meal; Sunny simply rips the packet away from her. She tosses it in the trash bin.
"So what's goin' on?" Geraldine asked "Nothing, just thinking right" Sunny's mind is still on Park's condition. Chelsea grabs a Sprunk herself "Hey, she's takin' some soda" Geraldine pointed out "Just forget it, I'll just buy something else later on" Sunny sighed.
The sound of champagne popping is playing on her phone, Dericourt's name appears on the screen.
"Hello?" "Madame Rhee, are you busy by any chance?" he asked "Not right now, why?" Sunny asked "I have a job if you're interested" he mentioned "Bring your two friends over" "Two friends?" she questioned "That girl that was with you when we first met and also Monsieur Park mentioned another girl that he saw recently with you" Dericourt mentioned Chelsea "Yeah...I guess I could bring her along" Sunny hesitatingly responded "Good, come by when you can". Sunny looks over at Geraldine and Chelsea and shakes her head "Nal yeos meog-eola (Fuck me)".
"It was Dericourt, he said that he has a job for us" Sunny said as Geraldine looked at her "Us?" she questioned "Me, you and Chelsea" Sunny annoyingly said as Chelsea finished her soda "Where are we going?" she let out a burp "East Vinewood, you're going to be working with us today" Sunny says with some hesitation "Really?" Chelsea's eyes lit up with excitment "Yes! Really!". Geraldine looks at Sunny with concern "What the fuck...?" she silently mouthed "Out of my fucking hands..." Sunny shrugged her shoulders
They decide to take Geraldine's SUV. Chelsea grabs the bag containing Jesse and her Sig Sauer and puts it into the back of the Cavalcade. Sunny pulls out her .45 along with a Heckler Koch 416, a gift from Arnold following their heist, and puts it in the back. Geraldine picks up a Mini 14 along with her Beretta and a pair of extra magazines and puts them the back.
Sunny takes her place in the front while Chelsea goes in the back. "Can't believe we takin' her with us" Geraldine angrily whispered "Hey, fucking relax" Sunny whispered back "It's going to be alright" she reassured her "What are you two whispering on about?" Chelsea interrupted "Nothing, don't worry about it" Sunny says turning towards her "Remember, behave and don't act stupid" Sunny reminded "This again? I behaved last time and it turned out well" Chelsea smiled "Yeah and you stole Joo Kwan's watch when you shook her hand" Sunny sternly looked at her "Oh come on!" she giggled "I was just having some fun!" "And you took my fuckin' phone!" Geraldine dropped on in "Okay! Okay! I get it! I'll behave!" Chelsea let's out an irritated sigh "God, you guys are such downers".
The Lyon's Den winery & restaurant, East Vinewood
The three enter, Chelsea sniffs the air coming from the kitchen. It smelled like steak being cooked in the medium rare stage along with a hint of garlic and a little bit of basil. Now she's hungry again. "Um, can I..." she licked her lips "No" Sunny quickly says "But I..." Chelsea tries to plead "I said no" Sunny repeated herself. She see's Dericourt and he invites them over.
"Bonjour (Hello)" he greeted as the three took their at his table. "So how are you all?" he asked "Good" Sunny and Geraldine answered "Can I have something eat?" Chelsea simply asked "You just ate a bunch of cold cuts before we left" Sunny looked at her "I know but smelling everything here made me hungry again" she pouted "I'll get you something" Dericourt politely replied "How about a Steak au poivre?", he snapped his fingers and waiter comes on by with a plate. He puts the plate on the table.
The meat was mostly filet mignon coated in peppercorn sauce and a small hint of onions mixed into the sauce, along with some mashed potatoes on the side. Chelsea's mouth started to water, her stomach growled a lot more. She grabs a knife and fork, the waiter pours some red wine into a glass. Chelsea starts to cut the meat and eventually starts to eat it, Sunny puts her fingers between her eyes "I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do with you".
"Onto business" Dericourt announced "What do you know about competition?", Sunny and Geraldine looked at him. "You mean about winnin'?" Geraldine asked "Something like that" he folds a napkin "Someone giving you problems I take it?" Sunny guessed "Correct, his name is Anders van der Sloot; an old business partner". He sighs and looks at them with a stern and serious look on his face. "A long time ago, I expanded my business into Holland. Anders stepped into the picture, I loaned him some money and he managed to make a fortune. However their was a set back..." he paused "What kind of set back?" Sunny asked "He decided to get into the wine business himself, only he decided to stab me in the back and is currently trying to put me out of business".
Geraldine seemed amused "What do you want us to do?", he sighed "I haven't figured that out yet".
Chelsea manages to finish her meal. Like a dog, she licks the plate of any remaining sauce. Sunny looked on and just wanted to vomit. She picked up the glass of wine and took a sip. The taste hits her mouth, she squints and quickly runs to a plant and spits it out. "That's just sick" Sunny said as Chelsea came back "That wine didn't taste right" she said as she grabbed a napkin and wipes her mouth. "It's wine not beer, it's not supposed to taste like fruit punch", Dericourt raised an eyebrow. "It tasted tangy and sweet, like something was in it" Chelsea spat the last of the wine onto the plate. "Come with me" Dericourt suddenly ordered.
The kitchen is busy as usual, Chelsea looked more hungry after seeing everything in the kitchen. She attempts to grab a piece of a beef stock, Sunny simply grabs her wrist and drags "Aw!" she whined "We'll get you something when we're done with everything".
"Monsieur" one of his men waved them over "Something is wrong with the wine", Dericourt quickly sprints over. A man vomits into a bucket, he looked like he wanted to pass out and die. "What happened to him?" he asked "I don't know, he started throwing up after drinking some wine"; Dericourt grabs the bottle and examines it. "The wine came in at the usual schedule, nothing out of the ordinary" he mentions, Dericourt pours the wine that was opened into a plastic container. It was still red but the three women noticed something that was floating at the bottom of the bottle. "What is that?" Sunny looked at the lower end of the bottle "You said that it had a sweet taste right?" Dericourt turned to Chelsea "Yeah, it had that taste to it". "Wait, I think I know what it is" Geraldine managed to come up with an answer "That shits antifreeze".
Dericourt looked at the three of them "Antifreeze?", suddenly a peculiar name popped into his head "Anders...". The three looked at him. "Fils de pute! (Son of a bitch!)" he cursed "I want you halt all wine production temporarily until we have dealt this problem" he ordered his man "Oui monsieur (Yes sir)". Sunny, Geraldine and Chelsea stare as they could see the anger in Dericourt's eyes boiling over "I now know what I want the three of you to do".
"Did you all bring weapons with you?" he asked so suddenly "Yeah, we all brought rifles with us" Sunny states "Anders has a distillery near the fashion district, the three of you will go there and tear it up. If Anders is there, don't kill him; I want him to see what happens when he plays with fire" he says with the anger in his eyes "We should do more than shoot everything up" Chelsea had the crazy smirk on her face "I say let's torch the place down" she suggested "Not a bad idea but we're going to need more that just gasoline to do that" Sunny says as she looked Geraldine who had a look of approval "I think I might be able to help with that, with some special...condiments from the chef" Dericourt snaps his finger as a soldier produces an ice chest. He clears out the ice and pulls out four plastic bags and lays them out on the table. Sunny and Geraldine's widen with shock at they were looking at, while Chelsea had a big crazy smirk on her face. The plastic comes off and there lay four medium sized blocks of Semtex along with wires, detonators and a control.
"You know," Chelsea says as she turned to her new partners "working with you two just got a lot more exciting".
...
Chelsea finishes the last of the wiring of the explosives "Hey you sure you know what the fuck you are doin' with those things?" Geraldine cautiously asked "Yeah, I was in the army back home. Hopefully this goes better then the last time I used explosives" she reminded herself of Gus's job that got her pick up filled with holes and ended up having to dodge those thugs on the freeway "Trust me when I say is that is the last time I let someone build me a bomb, worthless piece of shit timer" she cursed "Just make sure those things work" Sunny looked off into the distance at the distillery trying to get a feel for what they're going to do "It's going to work, don't worry about it" Chelsea reassures Sunny as she puts the finishing touches on the explosives.
"And their goes, okay done" she announced "Alright, here's the plan; me and Geraldine will cause a distraction. We'll shoot the place up and take some of them out. Chelsea will do her thing and put those bombs in place, we'll run for it and Chelsea will flip the switch" Sunny laid out the plan "Everything burns, we go home and Chelsea get's a cheeseburger for not fucking up" "Really?" Chelsea looked excited "That's if that those things work" Sunny said "They'll work! Don't worry!" she assures them.
The three go to the back and retrieve their rifles. Fresh pairs of clips are popped into their rifles. Geraldine looked at Jesse, she never seen a rifle like that before; it looked like something out of a science fiction movie. "You like?" Chelsea saw the look Geraldine was giving at her rifle "What kind of crazy ass gun is that?" she just kept looking at the design "This is a Steyr AUG, perfect for any situation and by the way her name is Jesse".
"You named your rifle?" Geraldine just cocked her head "Yeah, I've had her since I left the army and trust me; she is quite the girl" Chelsea cooed at her rifle as if it was a piece of her. "Man, whatever, just a weird ass gun" Geraldine sneered "Oh? Look at that little BB gun you have" Chelsea pointed out "Looks like something a kid would use" she chuckled "Hey, this Mini 14 is just as good as that fuckin' ray gun you brought with you" "A fuckin' ray gun? Really, you're going to call her that?" Chelsea became incensed when someone insulted Jesse "This fucking ray gun is better than that toy you're carrying" she goaded "Besides, you probably couldn't hit anything with that", Geraldine's temper begins to sizzle "I'm probably a better shot than you motherfucker" she shot back. Sunny punches Geraldine in the arm "Ow! What the fuck did you do that for?!" "Shut the fuck up" she ordered "Ha, ha" Chelsea mocked and stuck out her tongue. Sunny starts swatting Chelsea in the arm over and over again "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" she cries out "Stop that!".
Sunny breathes out "I'm getting really annoyed by the fact that the both of you can't get along" "Hey look I said-" "Shut the fuck up" she quickly said to Geraldine, Chelsea giggled, Sunny slaps the back of her head "Ow! That fucking hurt!" she complained "Good! You two are going to get along, whether you like it or not!" she demands "No fucking around! Let's just do our thing and get the fuck out of here!" "Fine, I'll work with her" Geraldine says as if a parent had scolded her "Okay, fine, I'll behave mum" Chelsea sarcastically sneered "If you two can't work together then I'll shoot you both and I really don't want to fucking do that" Sunny looked at the both of them very menacingly. They looked at her knowing full well that she was serious. "Let's go and burn this place down" she ordered, the two looked at each.
Geraldine didn't trust Chelsea because of how she found her and Sunny. Chelsea liked Geraldine but always saw the distrust in her eyes that she had towards her since she introduced herself to them, she didn't blame her of course; she could never back stab someone. It really wasn't in her nature to screw people over, especially if their was money too be made.
"Alright," Chelsea looked at Sunny "let's burn this place to the ground", Geraldine sighed and shook her head "Alright girl, I'm with you and I'll try to work with this crazy ass weirdo" "Who you calling a weirdo?" Chelsea looked at her "Don't fucking start" Sunny warned with that same menacing looking "Let's get to work and get this over with".
Amsterdam Star winery
The security guard polishes his badge, it glosses from the reflection of the sunlight. He just got this position and felt rather proud of it. He guarded many sites before this, so when he was told that this was going to be his new assignment he became excited. This type of place was perfect to guard. And it had a fancy sounding title to add to it. Three people suddenly show up on the monitor. From their features they looked like women and it they looks like they were carrying something in their hands. "Post to base, over" he says over the walkie talkie "What is it post? Over" "I got suspicious ladies coming towards the gate, over" "What are you waiting for? Turn them around and tell them to go home, over" "But it's like they're carrying something in their hands, over" "Don't be a wuss! It's probably just their purses!".
The three start to approach the gate.
"Excuse me," he starts to come up to the three women "all of you are not supposed to be here, you need to leave the premises". The one with the punk look turns her body towards him and points whatever it was that she was holding directly at in his direction. He couldn't quite see what it was. His eyes widen as he realized what she was pointing at him, he pushes the button on his walkie talkie "Post-!". The rounds tear through his uniform; stomach and torso are filled with bullets. He falls to the ground. His mind goes to the fact that he just this position and that he was also looking forward a promotion that he really wanted. With the blood flowing out, he dies never getting a chance to get that promotion. Maybe heaven might have a security position for him?
"Damn, that was cold" Geraldine remarked "I do my best" Chelsea chuckles. Sunny goes to the booth and pushes the button, the gate rolls open "Alright, let's go in" Sunny ordered "Remember the plan" "Yeah, yeah; shoot everything up and burn everything down" Chelsea cocks Jesse and readies to put the skills that she had to work "Geraldine and I will take distract some of the guards, you plant those things and we'll make our escape as soon everything is done" Sunny layed out the plan "Did you get all that?" her head turned to the both of them as she walked in front of them "Yeah I got that" Geraldine said "What about?" her eyes turned to Chelsea "Can you work together with Geraldine or are we going to have a problem?". Chelsea just frowned "Yes, I'll work with her just as much as I'm working for you".
"Alright, let's do this" Sunny says with a determined look.
Chelsea goes to the right, Geraldine and Sunny takes the left.
A few guards spot Geraldine and Sunny "Hey! This is private property!", Geraldine points her Mini 14 at him and blast two rounds through him. The guards see, they pull out their guns and try take aim. With the 416 and with the red dot sight going straight down the pair, Sunny squeezes the trigger and a burst smashes at least four. Their bodies are torn like paper. "You take top, I take bottom" she orders "Right", Geraldine goes takes a left and goes up the scaffolding while Sunny runs straight into a wave of guards carrying shotguns and rifles.
Taking cover behind a concrete barrier, Sunny ducks down as the rounds fly over head. She pulls out her .45 and points it at one guard. Bang! Bang! Two bullets go through his legs, the others see this and start to open fire. Geraldine see's them and quickly shoots them down. A few bullets whiz close to her, she aims down across the railing and takes several shots against the two guards who drop dead. More start to appear.
Chelsea sneaks around as best she could, though it's rather difficult when bullets are flying all over the place. She managed to snap a neck or two to get in, the firing started the minute she entered "Christ, couldn't they have waited?". She dodged a few bullets herself and managed to take cover, she got a peek at how Sunny and Geraldine managed to fight; she really was impressed. Geraldine had the look of getting things done quickly, while Sunny seemed to be relaxed; something was different about her though. It was mixed to professional to that of someone whose been fighting for a long, long time. Almost like an old soldier who has seen her fair share of battles. Still their wasn't time to gawk, Chelsea ran towards the first tank and puts the first Semtex bomb on the tank. She ran towards the second tank and places the bomb on that one. The third comes and goes. As Chelsea runs to the final one, a few bullets nearly hit her "Watch where you're shooting! You fucking twits!".
She attaches the bomb to the final tank and rushes as fast as possible to give her new colleagues a boost in firepower.
Chelsea takes aim at the guards and a burst of rounds tear into them. They fall and more start coming out. She see's them and it's all starts coming back to her.
Her military training starts to kick in. She aims down the sight and fires at the center of a guards head, the back explodes as if a pumpkin had been smashed open with a baseball bat. More guards start coming at her, an old familiar dance starts form up in her feet. Several burst fired from Jesse and a few of them do an insane like dance as the rounds tear into them. Chelsea turns thirty degrees to her right and starts slowly sprinting towards them. The trigger is pulled, the muzzle flashes and a set of screams fill the air. Sunny puts a couple of guards down and gets a look at Chelsea. Geraldine finishes taking down her set of guards and like Sunny see's Chelsea getting to work. What they saw left them speechless.
Chelsea changed the magazine and pops a new one into the chamber. Some shots come from behind, she turns around like a robot and takes them out. Another pair of shots come right at her from the left, another turn and the guards quickly go down. The bullets keep on smashing things to pieces. She quickly changes clips and frees her left hand and pulls out the Sig Sauer. With Jesse in the right and the Sig Sauer in the left, she gets on top of a crate and starts shooting both weapons. An endless barrage of bullets go left and right. Guard after guard goes down, forget the wild west or some Saturday night five shot special; this looked something that a mercenary would do. Someone who enjoyed the thrill of combat, who loved the adrenaline that coursed through they're veins, who seemed to take glee or more like a deadly type of satisfaction in dispatching groups of armed individuals one by one. Sunny and Geraldine just kept looking at her, transfixed at what they were seeing.
The gunfire soon dies down. The last remaining guards are taken down, one of them twitches. With the last remaining round, Chelsea fires a round from Jesse through his chest and finally stops moving. The whole scene was reminiscent of a war movie; bullet holes and blood flooding the floor. The numerous casings litter the crate around around the floor, her chest heaves in and then out almost as if coming back from a really hard exercise. The magazine clips pop out and fall to the floor. Chelsea jumped down from the crate and looked at Sunny and Geraldine. They both stood there stunned, if not completely amazed and rather shocked, at what they just witnessed. "What?" she said "You two look like you just saw a horror movie", both women were speechless. "H-How the hell did you do that?" Sunny just kept staring at her "Fuck man, you just wasted those motherfuckers like they were nothin'" Geraldine commented "Well I was in the army, I have mentioned that" she said a smile "Are we done here?" she asked "Yeah..." Sunny still sounded amazed after witnessing everything from that bullet festival.
The three run out as fast as possible.
He manages to lift himself out from one of his bullet ridden colleagues. "Oh god..." he breathed "Fuck!" he exclaimed as he looked at the carnage in front of him. He notices something on one of the tanks. He approaches it and got a look at what was there. It looked rather small and it some wiring hanging from it, it also had some words typed on the side, Semtex. His eyes widened realizing what was planted on the side "Oh shi-!". The explosion obliterates him before he could finish. The other tanks soon follow. Booooooom! Brick and mortar are blasted outward, glass is shattered, a fire erupts somewhere and it soon starts to spread. Everything goes up in flames. The three women watch the whole thing from across the street.
"See, told you it would work" Chelsea happily boasted "Damn man, that was intense!" Geraldine says with a more amazed attitude "Fuck! Did you see those moves?" she looked over at Sunny "Yeah I did" she said as she pulled out her phone and dials Dericourt "Hey, it's been taken care of; it's going up in smoke" "Perfect. Anders wasn't there?" he curiously asked "No, just a lot of guards, that's all" "Doesn't matter, he'll get the message but I doubt this will be over" he hypothesized "Go home and celebrate for the time being" he says as he hangs up.
"Let's get get out of here, and yes Chelsea, we're going to get something to eat" Sunny turned her attention "Really?" she sounded excited "Yes really! Now let's get out of here!" she commanded.
...
Geraldine just watches Chelsea as she scarfs the last of a plate of chili cheese fries. "Goddamn..." Geraldine remarked as Chelsea scrapes the last bit of chili and cheese with a single fry off of her plate "You going to eat that burger?" she points at Geraldine's half eaten double cheese burger who promptly puts her hand on it to cover it "I'll take that as a no" she smiled. Sunny looks out into space and tries to gather her thoughts. Chelsea's hand slowly reaches the fries on her plate. Sunny ordered and ate a steak sandwich but didn't seem to pay any attention to her fries. She drank the milkshake that came with it but nothing more. Her hand creeps towards her uneaten fries "Don't even think about taking any of my fries" Sunny finally spoke.
"Ooh, somebody's a bit protective of her food" Chelsea smiled; her hand tries again to reach for her fries. A fork jabs her hand "Ow!" she pulled back "I said don't touch my fries" Sunny calmly repeated "You didn't have to stab me with that fork" Chelsea says with an irritated look "Well, you could have just asked nicely" she sarcastically said "Can I have some of your fries?" "No".
Sunny grabbed a handful of fries and ate them "You're so stingy" Chelsea pouted "I know I am" Sunny chewed and smiled "So onto more pressing matters, you did pretty good; even better than we hoped". Chelsea's eyes lit up with surprise.
"Shit, all that shit from that shootout made me go 'What the fuck?'" Geraldine finishes the last of her double cheese burger "Still don't trust you though" she added "Oh come on, what more do you want me to do? You want me to strip naked and run around howling like I'm mad?" she proposed "No, you're not going to strip naked" Sunny took the final sip of her milkshake "But you were very impressive" she complimented.
"I still don't like you" Geraldine said as she drank her soda "You two don't have to like each other," Sunny looks sternly at them "just shut up and get along" she added "Man whatever" Geraldine finishes her soda "Okay, so are we friends now?" Chelsea wildly smiles "Yeah. Friends, sort of" Sunny frowns "But we're friends now!" Chelsea clapped her hands together, happy mostly of the friends part; she was just happy that she made new friends.
"Now I just got to break the news to Dominic" Sunny's mood went to an just plain unhappy "Oh come on" Chelsea chuckled "What is it that Americans say? Turn that frown upside down" she looked at her companions "Besides, what's the worst thing that can happen?".
The next day, the brewery, Cypress Flats
"She what?!" Dominic questioned "She wants to work for us and she's pretty good" Sunny explained "No, no! We're not going to take her! She's too much of a liability" he retorted "Come on! How is Chelsea considered a liability?".
For the past forty minutes Sunny and Dominic were talking about Chelsea joining their group and just as it was with Geraldine it wasn't as pleasant. Though Dominic was a little bit more professional than Geraldine was.
"Let me understand this, this skinny tweaker girl from some off the grid rat hole, managed to find out about the whole thing and she wants to join us?" he laid the whole thing almost like something from a badly written soap opera "Yeah that's pretty much it" Sunny plainly said "Jesus Christ" he rubbed his head.
"How do you know she's not a cop?" he questioned "Oh fuck! You sound just like Geraldine!".
The two just stared at each other "Look she managed to open that safe within a few minutes and helped us burn that factory down; I think that's enough qualification right there".
The door suddenly opens and Chelsea's head pops in "Hey, can I-?" "No" Sunny quickly gives her answer "But you didn't let me ask my question" she whined "No their isn't any food or anything to drink here, so don't even bother asking" she retorts "Aw!" she whines more "Stop complaining and wait outside with Geraldine" she ordered "But she's no fun!" "I don't care! Just wait outside!". Chelsea grumbled and went back outside.
Sunny sighed and looked back at Dominic "Look, she's good" she complimented "And?" he questioned "And you should have seen her in that winery," she sounded rather excited "she's got moves that can pretty much help us out". The veteran thief kept staring at his protege "And you say that this scrawny girl, who looks like a tweaker from god knows where, is worth a lot because of the things that she did". Dominic looked like he just walked out of a badly made movie scene. He sighed "Fine" he gave his answer, Sunny went to the door "But," he says "anything happens to us then that's on you" he warned "Yeah, yeah" she bellows the same way that she explained the situation to Geraldine "Just don't get on my back over it".
"So guess what?" Sunny looked at Chelsea "you're officially in".
Chelsea jumped up with joy. She was like a kid who received an expensive gift for her birthday. Dominic came out and uneasily extended his hand, Chelsea of course extended hers. Knowing what happened before with Geraldine, Sunny stops them before they can reach. She gave her a scornful look. "What?" she mouthed "So, er, welcome to the team" Dominic kept his distance from her "We need to get know each other out in the field, can we rely on you?" he asked "Of course!" she answered enthusiastically with a smile, Geraldine raised an eyebrow trying to grasp at what just happened "Great..." Dominic didn't seem to take it too well "This just keeps getting better and better".
"Oh cheer up mate!" Chelsea had that crazy smile on her face. Dominic looked back at Sunny with an expression of This better be fucking worth it on his face; she rolled her eyes. Her expression was more of a It's too late to go back now on her face. Honestly she wonders if the crazy meter is broken. With Chelsea at the helm of things, the obvious answer would be Of course followed up by What could possibly go wrong? and most likely Why me? Is this your idea of a joke? If so I'm not laughing. No this wasn't a joke, things are now slightly more crazier.
Chapter 22 is coming soon. Rate and Review.
