Thursday Afternoon
12:27 PM
Parker Household
No Ones POV
Today is Thursday which means that it's Tej's first off day for the week and how is he spending it ?; pumping some Iron in his new remodeled Basement Gym.
The radio was playing at full blast as he finished up his last set of push-ups
"27,28,29,30,31,32..."
Ring Ring
Tej paused the radio and grabbed his phone and unlocked it; He just received a text from someone
"Hey, Tej could you possibly pick Darryl up from school today?; Mia and Letty want Dom and I to go shopping with them for some reason-Brian
"Yeah Of Course I'll pick him up; my afternoon is free-Tej
"Thank you so much, he gets out a 2:45"-Brian
"Alright I'll be there" -Tej
He placed his phone back into his pocket and continued on with his afternoon workout.
Thursday
12:41 PM
Taylor King Middle School
Darryl's POV
Today was just another ordinary day at school. I was currently in my fifth-hour Spanish class and couldn't take in anymore. Why did I have to take this class anyway?, Dom and Letty could teach me everything I needed to know. Besides probably half the kids in aren't paying attention anyway like usual. Good thing Jason and Katie are in front of me and are blocking my view; So I can go on my phone undetected.
After five minutes of surfing the web I get an incoming text from Brian; Luckily I remembered to turn off my ringer.
"Tej will be picking up from school today-Brian"
I responded back with
"Okay see you later on tonight"
Then decided to check up on my social media before watching Netflix for the remainder of class.
Tej's POV
After having my workout this afternoon, I, took a long hot shower and then got ready to go pick up Darryl from school.
No One's POV
Tej was making his way out the house at around 2:25 but Roman decided to drop by right as he was walking out.
"Hey man what's up?"
"Not much forehead, what's going with you?"
"I'm about to the Lunch; do you want to join me?"
"I can't right now; Brian asked me to pick Darryl up from school"
"Oh well that's straight I'll come with you"
"Alright fine we can grab something after that"
Car Ride to Taylor King Middle School
2:28-2:41
"Tej what the hell are you doing?" Roman asked confused
"What do you mean What the hell am I doing?, Driving to Darryl's School"
"You went the wrong way!"
"No, I didn't"
"Yes; You're supposed to take Portland Ave not Evans St"
"No, if I take Portland Ave I'll get off on Jefferson Boulevard which is ten miles off"
"What are you talking about? I've driven to Darryl's school before using Portland ave"
"Yeah from your house!" Tej said putting emphasis on House
"Doesn't matter who's house you start from"
"Okay well maybe next time"
"No, just turn around"
"I'm not gonna turn around; that's gonna take extra time"
"Darryl is fourteen years old not five; he'll be okay"
"Well that's rude to leave him standing there for twenty minutes"
"You're gonna make yourself late if you keep driving this way"
"I'll take my chances"
Roman grabbed ahold of the steering wheel
"Would you just turn around…
"Let go off the wheel"
"No, not until you..."
"Stop you're gonna make us crash"
While Tej and Roman fought for control the car started swerving from lane to lane. Other drivers started honking their horns and getting furious some, ending up being knocked off the road
"Let go of the fucking wheel…"
"No you let go"
"It's my damn car!"
"Just let….AHHHHHHHH!" Roman screamed in a high pitch voice
"What?"
Tej looked up and seen that they were about to hit a parked bus
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
He slammed on the brake with all his strength and managed to stop before hitting it.
Both their hearts was racing like crazy and were hyperventilating. They both looked up at the sign that said
Taylor King Middle School
"Hmmm, I'm going the wrong way, hun?" Tej said sarcastically "You should turn around" "You're gonna be late"
"Yeah whatever that would just luck"
"Yeah luck okay will go with that" He replied rolling his eyes
"Hey Tej, Hey Roman good to see you both," Darryl said when got in the car
"You to man, how was school?" Tej asked
"Same old, same old….." He replied
"One of those boring days?" Roman asked
"Yep but thank goodness it's over for now"
They all laughed lightly "So are you hungry for anything?" Tej asked
"I'm starving so anything sounds good right now" Darryl replied
"Alright well go grab a bite to eat and then after that will play by ear"
Darryl's POV
After Tej and Roman picked me up from school we, headed to this small restaurant on the outskirts of Town called Bob's Burgers and More. I've never heard of this place before but apparently it's been in business since 1973. Roman told me that he and Brian came here a few times after school when their moms would hang out and go shopping in LA.
Bob's burgers and more would remind you of what resembled an old school diner or tavern. People sat at the counter or booth and off to the side stood a red and black jukebox. I was just amazed by its beauty and decided to play a few songs while us three had lunch.
The owner of the restaurant Bob Hoffman was the founder of Bob's Burgers in 1973 at the age of 22. Roman already knew him and introduced Tej and I to him
"Roman Pierce I haven't seen you since 1993!, You've grown so much," Bob said
" it's good to see you again"
"You didn't bring O'Connor with you?"
"Sorry, he couldn't make it but….I did bring along two more" Roman said "Mr. Hoffman this is Tej and Darryl Brian's little brother"
"Oh my stars in heaven you look just like Brian"
"Yeah I get that a lot" I replied
"So let me guess you want the Southwestern Ranch Burger with Fries and a Large strawberry milkshake," Mr. Hoffman said
"You still remembered !" Roman smiled
"Of course I remember I'm only 67"
I was shocked too but not that much; Brian and Roman have been a customer for years and you have to remember what they like by then.
Tej ordered the same thing as Roman minus the strawberry milkshake. I simply just ordered a Cheeseburger with onion rings and a cookies and cream shake.
"Oh my goodness this milkshake is soo good," Darryl said happily "My tastebuds are dancing around in Joy"
"I'm glad you like it Darryl; it's an old family recipe"
"Interesting so tell us ; what made you open a burger joint ?" Tej asked
"Well Tej it's quite simple I've always wanted to open up my own restaurant since I was about Seven or eight years old"
"And you opened this place at 22?" Darryl asked
"Precisely at first it was just Bob Burgers but in 2003 I expanded the menu so people have more a variety"
"Well I'm satisfied with just the burgers and milkshakes," Roman said "You've outdone yourself again"
"Thanks and it was nice seeing you again Roman; Tell Brian he needs to stop in and…"
Right, before Mr. Hoffman could finish his sentence; Four guys busted into the Restaurant carrying loaded weapons and wearing nothing black and ski masks covering their faces.
"EVERYBODY ON THE FUCKING GROUND NOW !" One of the guys yelled "THIS A ROBBERY!"
People screamed in terror and did what they were told. Two of the men went around and collecting everyone's jewelry, money or stuff of importance.
"Looks you guys knew we were coming," another guy said
"What's going on?" Mr. Hoffman asked in fear
"You're getting robbed old man; Now where's the safe?"
"In the back"
"Take us to it"
-Five Minute Time Skip-
Tej, Roman, and Darryl watched in horror as the Robbers made off with everyone's personal belongings including everything in Mr. Hoffman's Safe. Even though the population of the restaurant at the time was little, They all a crap load of shit in each of their bags.
"Thank you all for being so cooperative," One Robber said
"Yeah, our job here is done and if we see any of you following us…."
"It will get ugly"
"Have a nice day"
They exited at once and got back into their van. Everyone got off the floor and panicked even more.
"Guys come on we can still catch them!" Tej said
"Man are you crazy?, I didn't plan on dying today," Rome said
"Yeah well neither did I but we can't let them take these nice people's belongings"
"Tej is right Roman and besides It can be your good deed for the day"
"Alright fine!, But If we die I'm gonna kill you both"
Tej and Darryl rolled their eyes
"Yeah…..Okay whatever you say"
This Time Roman was at the Wheel, Tej in the passenger seat and Darryl in back. He slammed down on the gas and zoomed down the desert getting further and further away from town. The Robbers Van was still ahead by several other cars who trying their best to dodge it.
Tej's Jeep rocked back and forth for at least ten miles, as it tried to avoid Traffic. Darryl decided to climb out through the sunroof to try and get a better view of the License Plate.
"DARRYL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Tej asked
"You'll see"
The Younger O'Connor tried his best to balance himself but struggled because of the furious wind slapping him in every direction
"Darryl get yo crazy white ass back in here! yelled Roman "I swear you're just like Brian" he chuckled
"Don't worry guys I know what I'm doing"
"Get back in here Now!, It's too dangerous for you to be up there like that!" Tej yelled
"Tej don't worry I got this !, Have a little faith," Darryl said "I happen to be an O'Connor!, I've got the daredevil gene in my blood"
After saying that Darryl pulled out his special Binocular glasses and zoomed in closely but, with them still being many cars behind their target the image was quite blurry
"Rome is there any way you can get me closer?" Darryl asked
"I'll try my best" he replied
Inside Robbers Van
"Hey, Eric wasn't that boy from the Restaurant?"
"What boy?" Eric asked
"The one on top of that Jeep a few cars back"
James pointed out the side window of the van and Eric took a closer look
"Yeah that is!, Hey Boss we've got Company!"
Their Leader Tyler removed his sunglasses and put out his cigar
"Well you both know what to do," He said eyeballing the two men "Take them out!"
"Yes Sir" James and Eric replied
James went to the other side of the Van and flipped a red switch to on and seconds later a Machine Gun popped out the roof and a Control panel assembled in front of the two men.
"Okay on three...One...Two...THREE!"
Beep!, Rapid Fire Attack has Been Activated
"Oh SHIT!" Darryl yelled
Bullets after bullets came charging towards the Jeep. Roman swerved over into the other lane trying to avoid the Guns Path. Darryl held on the luggage racks for dear life hoping not to fall off.
"Ugh not good enough, they block our attack sir," James said
"Well adjust the angle Then!, Do what whatever it takes to Destroy them!"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Damn they got fucking machine guns shooting at us Now? Like some Terminator type Shit!" Roman said, "We were very close on getting ourselves killed !"
"Yeah and here comes ROUND 2!" Darryl pointed in fear
The machine gun was back on Automatic Rapid Fire and bullets were flying once again at Tej's Jeep. Darryl maneuvered back and forth on the roof trying his best to avoid getting shot. He had gotten over half of the license plate and trying his best to get the rest
"4...3...8...6!, I GOT IT!"
Rapidly he climbed back through the sunroof and hit his head hard on the car. Darryl held his head in pain and groaned
"Ahhhh, My Head!"
"Darryl are you alright ?" Tej asked
"Yeah I just hit my head; nothing too major" he replied
"So tell me what the hell you were doing up there ?" Roman asked, "You could have got yourself killed Darryl!, and Brian wouldn't be too happy with that!"
"I was trying to get their license plate number"
"Good idea now all we need to do is Track and see where they lead us to" Tej said
"Exactly and I know just the place..."
O'Connor Household
Early Thursday Evening
Tej's Jeep pulled into the O'Connor household driveway at around 5:15 Thursday evening. Brian's Skyline was not parked outside or in the garage meaning that he's probably still out with Dom and the girls. However, he still checked to make sure no one was home at the time.
"Brian you home?"
No answer but an echo.
"Okay good he's not here; This will take long; Tej, Roman please follow me"
Darryl lead the other two men to the second floor and went about halfway down the hall before approaching a door and opening it.
Inside was a queen size bed, with a dresser, a desk with an Apple MacBook on top of with a lamp and stuff of other importance. Then off to the right is a closet filled with clothes, shoes and old flies inside brown boxes. They had just entered Brian's Room.
Darryl scanned around for a minute trying to pinpoint the exact location of his brothers old computer from when he was an FBI Agent.
"I think it might be in his closet" Said Darryl
He walked towards it and started throwing stuff around.
"Ah, Darryl?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think it's a good idea to be looking though Brian's stuff?" Tej asked "whatever you're looking for was put away for a reason"
"Brian won't care; besides it's not like we're strangers" Darryl replied
Roman's POV
I didn't want to say anything but Tej is right; won't Brian know about us snooping around in his closet? Which, by the way, needs a seriously cleaning. I mean clothes were off the hangers, shoes were out the box and it just didn't look good, but after putting it like that he won't notice a thing.
No One's POV
"I found it!" Yelled Darryl
In his hands was an all black laptop with the FBI Logo on it; He set beside Brian's MacBook and turned it on.
"Apparently Brian is still in their system and can still access everything" Darryl explained "So all we need to do is enter the license plate number and track its location.
"Smart thinking Darryl" Tej complimented
"Thanks"
"But do you even know his account info?" Roman asked
"All they ask for is his Identification number which is posted on the front of his computer"
Darryl pointed to a half torn white sticker with about eight to ten digits on it printed in black. After letting the system start he entered the code while repeating it out loud
"6-5-9-2-6-8-7-1-1-3; Enter"
Next a main menu screen appeared.
"Okay next look up by License plate number"
"RQL4386, Enter"
The Three waited patiently until another screen popped up appearing as a map of California with an exact pinpoint location with GPS coordinates.
"Bingo!, We've got them!" Darryl said
"Yeah it looks like there at some Industrial Warehouse off 16th and Maple," Tej said
"Wait hold up, did you just say 16th and Maple?" Roman asked in a terrified tone
"Yes"
"Oh hell naw bruh, that area is dangerous at night !"
"What's wrong forehead? you scared?" Tej asked before laughing
"No, I'm not scared! Fool, I'm just giving yall a head's up!" he argued back
"Right," Darryl said sarcastically "So what should we do now?"
"We'll head over there after Sunset; Quietly sneak in, grab everything that was stolen and leave" Tej explained "and if there's a problem will just have to take them head on!"
"Sounds risky…..Let's Do It!"
"We'll take the computer just in case their location changes at any time"
Outside The Abandoned Industrial Warehouse
Thursday Evening
16th Street & Maple Ave
The afternoon sun had slowly disappeared over the horizon and was replaced with a cloudy and starry sky. Tej was at the wheel, Roman sat in the passenger seat on his phone playing Subway Surfers. Darryl was in the back as usual, but this time was taking a quick cat nap before arriving at their location.
It wasn't until 8:47 when the three where officially out of Los Angeles and the many buildings and houses turned into desert like conditions. The Temperature for some reason was slightly cooler than in the city reaching to about sixty-six degrees.
After driving for another twenty or so minutes, Tej arrived at the location of the Robber's hideout.
He parked close to a nearby hill to avoid suspicion.
"Yo Darryl wake up we're here," Roman said in a soft tone
The young blond stirred up from his sleep
"Huh? what's going on?" Darryl asked
"We're here," Tej said
"Oh great; I'm ready"
-Time Skip-
Roman, Tej, and Darryl looked over the warehouse from the top of the hill
"Okay so where should we go in?" Darryl asked
"Our best guess would be, that open window off to the side," Tej said "If any of them are guarding their probably by one of the three entrances"
"What if they're guarding the window?" Roman asked
"Will just find another way in"
The bald black man nodded his head nodded
Inside The Warehouse
"Hmmm These people have good taste in Jewelry," James said as he tried on a Rolex watch
"Yeah too bad majority of this stuff are for women" Eric added
"Well at least the money will make up for it"
As of the two continued to search through all the stolen goods; The Boss man and five new people entered the room all equipped with guns.
"Eric, James come its dinner time," He said in a voice similar to Dom's
They did as told and followed their boss along with everyone else to another room.
After making sure the coast was clear Tej, climbed through a nearby window leading to the main floor. Darryl followed suit and landed harder on the dirt covered ground.
"Rome come on, we don't have all day!" Tej said in a whisper
"Are you on that stuff?, Did you not see that everyone had a fucking loaded gun!" He whispered back "If we get caught then it's all over with!"
Darryl groaned softly and threw his hands up in frustration, This is like the third time today Roman has done this.
"Well, you realize that were wasting valuable time and we could have been in and out by now!" Darryl said "Nothing is gonna happen to us"
"Yeah so bring your scaredy cat ass in here Now!" Tej commanded
"Alright fine, but if we die…."
"You're gonna kills us both yadda yadda," Darryl said sarcastically
Tej and Darryl waited until Rome climbed through the window but; his black leather jacket got stuck.
"Guys I'm stuck"
"Oh for the love of…"
As they play tug a war their time was rapidly running out, at any second everyone will be done with dinner and catch them.
"Ugh just forget the jacket!"
"This jacket cost $3000 I'm not leaving it!"
"Fine, Darryl and I will go ahead and grab the bags; You can work on getting your jacket unstuck," Tej said "Come on Darryl"
-Time Skip-
"Tej Look!" Darryl said pointing to a table with numerous bags on it
"Jackpot, quick let's grab the bags and get the hell out of here"
They approached the table grabbed all four bags.
Darryl's POV
Wait a minute….That was too easy I mean they're just laying on this table with no security or supervision. Maybe Roman was right. It seemed that this mission would get harder before easier.
"DROP THE BAGS!" A Male voiced commanded
Tej and I both turned around and was facing one of the four robbers
"Yeah right!, You and whose army?" Tej laughed hysterically
I wanted to laugh too, but right then the other six appeared all pointing their guns at us
"This army….Now Drop the bags I'm gonna ask you again" He threatened as he placed his thumb slightly over the trigger.
Tej pulled out his gun pulled the trigger, killing the first robber. We quickly ran backwards avoiding everyone else's bullets. I did some cartwheels and surprisingly didn't fall. We both took cover right next to each other.
No One's POV
"Darryl, Take this!" Tej yelled handing him a pistol
"Tej I've never had experience with a gun before!"
"Just pull the trigger and try your best not to miss!"
The young blond took a deep breath and began shooting like a mad man out of hell.
"AHHHH TAKE THAT YOU DIRTY BASTARDS!, YOU'RE NOT WINNING THIS FIGHT!"
Bullets continued to fly all over the place and it seems as though everyone was missing.
"Damn where the hell is forehead?!" Tej asked
"I don't know hopefully he's alright"
"Yeah, maybe he's just….."
"AHHHHHHHHHH, TAKE THAT!, ROMAN IS BACK BITCHES !"
Roman appeared behind the corner with a massive machine gun and massacred the reminding people standing. He slowly put down the heavy machinery and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Where the hell did you get a machine gun?" Tej asked confused
"I have my ways" he replied
"Well you came just in time," Darryl said pointing to the dead bodies scattered over the floor
"You really came through this time…..Thanks"
"Anything for my brothers"
"Not so fast!
Everyone turned around and was face to face with the boss
"You may have killed all of my men, but I'm about to blow all your fucking brains out!" he threatened "Goodbye"
Boom
Darryl pulled the trigger on his gun and shot the man right in the head causing him to fall backwards making a loud thump. Tej and Roman stood there dumbfounded
"Great shot O'Connor!" Roman complemented "Right through the skull!"
"To be honest I expected to miss but, I'll take it
The three laughed as they headed out the factory feeling accomplished. Darryl was happy that he actually helped with their mission and would get some credit later on.
Later That Evening….
Roman, Tej, and Darryl arrived back in LA at a quarter to eleven. They agreed to bring Mr. Hoffman his money first thing in the morning.
Brian tried his best to stay up and wait for Darryl but ended up passing out minutes before his brothers return.
Darryl slowly tipped toe upstairs intended to take a long hot shower before heading to bed himself.
After picking out some fresh clothes be stepped into the bathroom, he began the cleaning progress. While in the shower Darryl thought back to everything that happened today
Darryl's POV
Wow, I can't believe we pulled that off. To be honest I didn't think we were gonna make it out alive but Roman came at the perfect time and demolished those bastards instantly. Tej and I still couldn't figure out where he got that machine gun from but, we just left it alone since it came in handy.
After standing in the hot water for what seemed like hours, I finally got out and put my pajamas on before brushing my teeth.
I stepped out into the upper-level hallway and walked to my room throwing my dirty clothes off the side and pulling back my covers and got into bed.
Today was an interesting day and it seem like Tej, Roman and I were more closer than we've ever been before and it was nice to hang out with other people in the family. Who knows maybe sometime in the near will go on another adventure and save the day.
No Ones POV
With that, Darryl closed his eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep
The End
