Thanks very much Tree. I almost translated my entire story. I'm glad you like it, thanks !
CHAPTER 8 : oversight
It's 5 :42 p.m. Tom and Doug go back to their place for a nap.
Tom takes a shower at around 8:30 p.m. Then he gets changed into a new sweat and jeans with holes everywhere. He doesn't forget his neckerchief and earrings. It's the way he always dresses when he and Doug do the McQuaids brothers for a mission.
He gives Doug a phone call to remind him not to forget to take the money with him. Once again Doug will be the one coming to Tom's place so they could go meet the others together.
9:30. Someone knocks on the door. Tom opens and sees Doug, right on time, for once.
- Let me take my jacket, Tom says, and I'm ready.
- Okay.
- You didn't forget the money, huh ? Tom asks his friend.
- Who do you think I am Tommy ?. Sure I got the money.
Doug puts his hands on his pockets but can't find the money. He's sure he put it in one of the pockets of his jacket.
- Oh oh, Doug says.
- What ? Tom asks.
- I think the little mouse came in and took the money, Doug says.
- It ain't funny Doug. It's not the time for jokes right now. Come over here !
- What you want to search ? Doug asks amused by the situation and Tom's face at the moment.
- Really funny, Tom replies. Well I don't see another option then go back to your place and see where you forget the money.
- I did not… Well okay let's go, he says smiling.
- This isn't funny you know. Stop smiling like an idiot.
- You're too serious Tom.
- You're not at all. You're never serious.
- I think you're enough for both of us.
Doug thinks Tom takes everything too seriously and Tom thinks Doug's forgetful, oversight and never serious. But they're best friends.
They take Doug's car and Doug drives till his apartment.
- Hurry up or we're gonna be late, Tom complains.
- Relax Tommy we're the McQuaids brothers. We're never late. We go wherever we want whenever we want. There's no time for us so be cool, Doug replies.
- Yeah maybe but this is for a deal and we can't be 1 hour late for a deal. Can you understand that ? Tom doesn't like Doug's reaction.
- Hey relax dude, we'll be 10 minutes late, that's it. Is it still because of the drugs effects that make you overreacting like that ? Doug asks making fun of his bud.
- Really funny Doug.
Tom gives him the "be more concentrate" look. He doesn't like when Doug makes fun of him.
They walk till Doug's door. Doug's calm but Tom's not at all.
Once they're inside Doug digs in his other jacket left on the sofa. The money's in one of the pockets.
- I put the money in this jacket and I put another one before leaving, stupid huh ? Doug says.
- You said it Douggi, Tom says unsurprised.
Doug takes the money from his other jacket and shakes it under Tom's nose.
- You saw all those nice billets ? I got them now.
- Stop making fun of me, you're the stupid one responsible for this, not me, Tom says. Put the money in the good jacket and shut up. We have no time to waste, let's go.
- Okay. You're not funny you know, Doug says.
- I know thanks. You're way too funny, Tom answers.
They take Doug's car again and drive towards the 'Corail' where they're supposed to meet Ricky and Mikey for their first transaction.
