The mob wandered thru the sewers. They all thought it was funny that Peepers was wearing barely anything but no one dared to laugh. His already short fuse becomes even shorter after a lost fight. Finally they made it. They climbed to the surface and entered a dimly lit room. Others came in to help everybody up and wash them off. Base 1 held 60 but some of those people were killed or taken in by the police and Sylvia. There was about 27 members left. Base 2 was already full but they took them in welcomingly after hearing about the battle they had just been thru. Hater and Peepers shared their room to make space for other people who also needed to share their rooms.
None of them went back to sleep. Peepers told them to change out of their uniform and do uncover patrols to find other places to setup base since it was only a matter of time til the officers find this and third base. Peepers checked maps all day looking for a building at the heart of the city and for others in remote locations. The more bases they had, the more spread out their members and that was good because if the police found a base, they would capture less people.
At the end of the day, their men were tired but they found 2 potential bases. They feel asleep quickly. Peepers had trouble tho. Hater slept on his side and watched as Peepers stared up at the ceiling.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Hater whispered. "thinkin about my familly" Peepers replied. "I miss them."
"But don't they hate you now?"
"they do but only because I betray the old Watchdogs way. they are just mad at me, if I leave this gang and go back, they'll forgive me." Peepers explained.
"so you want to go back?" hater pouted.
"No. A life without isn't worth living." Peepers turned to him and smiled."I'm serious. you're the only reason i'm still here."
Hater blushed. Not really sure what to say. "uh... yea thanks. Doing this would get boring without ya"
"being a mob boss would never get boring" Peepers giggled "there too much stuff happening all at once for it to get dull. it's rather stressful".
Hater agreed. there was a silence for a minute as they tried to fall asleep til Hater broke the silence. "Pssst Peeps... do want to sleep in my bed with me?"
"um... why?"
"The police thing is stressing me out. It's comforting to have someone there."
Peepers walked accross the room and crawled into his bed. They slept next to eachother with out touching for a while til Hater cuddled onto Peepers like a child holding a teddy bear. He tried to escape but his holder's grasp was to strong to break so he gave up. In the morning, Peepers awoke early as usual but still couldnt escape. He would have to wait for Hater to wake up, this would take forever.
