Later that night we hit the Sin Bin. It's an awful fucking name. We wait in the ally beside the club until Rocco comes over saying "That's him."
"Okay, Roc." Connor says.
I throw my hair up into a ponytail as we walk through the building to a door that says 'Abandon all hope' on it. That's fitting. I put on my mask. I feel like a right tit every time I put this thing on. I make sure all my hair is tucked into it.
I pull out my gun and look to my left and cover my mouth as I start laughing. Murphy and Connor look back curiously and start laughing quietly. Rocco has completely destroyed the hat he used to make his mask, the eye holes and mouth hole are all too big and frayed. He even cut himself a little nose hole.
"What? You guys got masks." Rocco snaps quietly
"You look like Mush Mouth from Fat Albert." Murphy says through his laugh
Rocco pulls his mask off "Fine. Fuck it! When we're done, she can I.D. me. I don't care. Just trying to be professional, but no!"
"It looks fine." Murphy say, still laughing
"No, fuck it." Rocco says huffily
Connor puts his hand on Rocco's shoulder and says "No, shut the fuck up! You look good. Put it on. You look fucking scary, man."
Rocco puts his mask back on and Connor, who has turned back to face the door says while laughing "Now, Roc, are you sure that you're "O-B-kay-B"?"
With that they burst through the door. The room is empty except for one woman, scantily clothed. I'm not even sure what she is, a stripper or a hooker or something in between? The woman opens her mouth to scream but Rocco grabs her and puts his gun to her head "You scream, you're dead! Which one's he in? And don't make like you don't know who the fuck I'm talkin' about!"
There are three black doors, at least, that's what I think they are. The woman points to the middle one and Rocco knocks her out with the butt of his gun.
Connor and Murphy say their prayer as Connor opens the door by pressing a button. I cringe as the door opens and we literally catch the guy with his pants down. The boys start shooting, the glass breaks and the guy falls dead to the floor. Connor and Murphy climb into the booth to do their coin thing. I look at the tv in the room that's still playing and wince at what is happening to the poor girl on the screen.
"Oh good God, who would agree to do that?" I ask while lifting my mask off my face.
Connor and Murphy follow my gaze then look back at me with identical smirks. "Don't even think about it" I say to them.
Suddenly Connor yells "What the fuck are ya doin'?"
I turn sharply to see Rocco jump to his feet with his hands up "I'll tip her!"
I notice that one of the woman's breasts has popped out of her bra. I glare at Rocco and go over to the chaise the girl is lying on. I slap Rocco over the head then sort the girl's bra and cover her with the satin dressing gown on the floor.
"Hey, Rhi" Murphy says
I turn and look at him. He's got that cheeky grin on his face "Doesn't this place remind ya of your old bedroom?"
I cringe as I look around. The room is a bright sicking pink "Oh God. Murph! Come on!"
I see a hundred dollar note slip through one of the slots next to one of the other doors "There's people in there" I say, pointing at it.
Connor goes over to one door, Murphy to the other and they peer in through the peep holes "It's like a scumbag yard sale." Connor says as he steps away from the door
"We should come down here once a week and clean house." Murphy says walking away from the other door.
"Oh, man, you gotta let me do these guys." Rocco pleads "I'm such a moron. I gotta make up for that tit thing."
"There's no way. It's Rhi's turn anyway." Connor says
"Oh, come on." Rocco pleads
I shrug "He can take it. I've got you two to take my frustrations out on. This poor guy's got nothing"
Murphy smirks then hits Connor's arm gently "Come on, man. Give the guy his shot."
"It's the real deal, Roc. Evil men, dead men." Connor says and hands Rocco his gun. Murphy hands Rocco his too.
"Stand well back, Rhi" Connor says.
I walk backwards to the main door and the boys press the buttons on the two doors and Rocco just goes psycho on the two men in the booths. He crosses his arms and shoots more. I shake my head. Why do these three insist on acting like they're in a movie?
"Wyatt fuckin' Earp" Rocco shouts, his eyes wide with the adrenaline in his system.
"Who?" I ask
"Sheriff's deputy, O.K. Corral" Rocco says, looking disappointed as he lowers his gun.
I shake my head and shrug "Nope. American History was never my strong point"
The boys say their prayer again and do the coin thing. "Can we go now?" I ask and head out the door.
