"This is your Dream Jerry?" Bobby asked in disbelief.
"This is it, I was thinking about putting stain glass windows in here." Jerry explained leading us through the abandoned factory type building.
"You always did aim high, Jer, but don't you think the possibility of successfully renovating this place a bit slim, and what about financial dues?" I asked. I didn't really want to crush his dream but someone had to think rationally.
"Look at you sounding all smart." Bobby commented while taking a swig from his beer. "The building is condemned. You got insurance?" he asked Jerry.
"Why?"
"So we can burn this bitch down." I laughed and walked around. "Look, look at your little brother." I heard Bobby say, I turned around and saw Jack pissing on the ground.
"Jack that's nasty." I said out loud while Jerry was scolding Jack. Angel was looking at something and was laughing about it. We all turned and gave him a quizzical look.
"They look like nipples." he said for his reasoning. I just shook my head.
"Lets go get a real drink." Bobby said smashing his empty beer bottle on the ground. We headed over to Johnny G's bar once we arrived we each took a seat at the bar. Johnny poured my brothers each a shot of Jack Daniels.
"Same old baby girl?" Johnny asked after he handed my brothers their drinks. I smiled, I had never taken a drink, even when I went to the bar with my brothers. Johnny would always pour me a glass of orange juice.
"Yea same old."
"Your attention, please. I wanna make a toast. To Evelyn Mercer. The greatest mother four degenerate bastards and the sweetest girl ever had." my brothers and everyone in the bar downed their drinks to the toast I just sipped on my orange juice. "Johnny pour me and my brothers another round and glass of warm milk for my little sister here." Bobby said putting his hand on Jacks back.
"Man, I will drink you under the table." Jack retorted making himself up to be a heavy drinker.
"We're not talking about sperm, Jack, this is whiskey."
We headed over to a table and sat down my brothers drinking more Jack Daniels and beers. Jack drinks Jack, Jack drinks Jack, Jack drinks Jackie D." I could help but laugh at my drunk brothers chorus.
"That's your brother." Jerry said pointing at Bobby I couldn't help but laugh my brothers were so comical.
"Jack licks ass crack and ball sack." Bobby chimed into Jack's chorus.
"Jack don't lick ass crack and ball sack. Jack likes boobs. Jack gots fans. Jack gots lots of fans." Jack finished and Johnny came over talking about how it was a shame the our mom went the way she did and then he cursed gangs. Jerry eventually had enough and left and Johnny took a seat to tell Bobby all he knew. I knew he was going to do something stupid.
When we were ready to leave I saw the glint in Bobby's eyes, the glint that always lead to someone being hunted down. "Hey Bobby do you think you could drop me off at home. I'm kind of tired." I said playing to the baby sister card that worked oh to well on my brothers.
"Sure kiddo." I knew to some extent that Bobby only said yes because he didn't want me to get hurt and he knew I would be safe at home. He was always really overprotective, but I am grateful of that.
So Bobby dropped me off at the house, but before they left I turned to Jack telling him to be careful. "Eh, Bobby give him a gun will you. I swear you are going to get him killed."
"Don't worry kid." Bobby said smirking. He was always amazed that I could read him like a book. I even heard Angel mutter under his breath, "How does she always know?"
When we were all done talking I went into the house and laid down on the couch. Letting out one huge sigh that was well over due. I could imagine what they were doing. I only hoped Jack was okay. I had come to terms that I couldn't deny my feelings towards Jack. I loved him and more then just him being my brother. Eventually I had fallen asleep on the couch.
"Hey should we wake her, to come with us to the corner store?" Jack asked softly as to not wake me. But in truth I was already slowly waking up.
"Damn straight you better." I said in a low mumble. I slowly opened my eyes to see Jack smiling at me and Angel snickering at my comment.
"Bobby I swear she learned to speak from you." Angel said still chuckling. I stuck my tongue out at Angel and stretched out my arms.
"Why in the world were you sleeping on the couch for?" Jack asked he decided he'd be cute and was sitting on my legs.
"You know the usual, hot guy comes over, we make out on the couch, fall asleep that kind of thing." I said joking, it was funny the smile on Jack's face was gone. But then again Bobby heard me.
"Where is he, I'll kill him."
"Chill out I was joking, I was waiting for you guys." Jack's smile was back again. " Now will you please get off of me." I said hitting Jack with my pillow.
After I got changed and brushed my teeth we all piled into Bobby's car. Jerry was meeting us there.
"So what did you guys find out last night?" I asked.
"It wasn't the thugs they were just paid to lie to the cops." Jack said as the owner to the store walked up and Bobby started talking to him. Before I knew we were watching the surveillance footage the day our mother was murdered. Jack had turned away and was crying was I. I grabbed his hand to give him some reassurance. I felt sick watching it finally I turned and ran out of the store.
