Here I was, escaping through a shitty motel bathroom , and I kneasn’t luck that we had this exit Raize wouldn’t have picked a motel where we could’ve been cornered We were probably running fro enforcers, and if anyone came to check the back, I’d have to shoot

So I should probably have a weapon Jake had his back to uns from him

He cursed, falling the rest of the way, and then glared as he swiped his gun back Raising it to me, he warned, “You don’t touch this until you kno to shoot it I’irl named Carrie Got me?”

For sorinned “Got it”

He rolled his eyes and reached up, grabbing theso it closed somewhat

Then we took off down the alley, which connected to another alley, and we crossed a parking lot before hitting the street

I didn’t kno to feel about what had just happened, but ht now

I ht taco truck Since ere here, why not?

There were a few buzzed or drunk people also there so we’d have cover

While ere at a picnic table eating our tacos, those guys drove past and took a left at the intersection I nabbed a pic of that and sent it to Raize

My phone rang a second later

I answered it on speaker, knoho it was “Yeah?”

“Where are you guys?”

I told hi at a table”

“Those guys left?”

“Yeah”

“They didn’t see you eating?”

Jake had stopped eating, waiting

“I don’t think they knoe are” Not that I knee were either “They were just looking in the rooms e left”

“Is Jake there?”

“Aye,” he called

“Listen, we can’t get away right now Get a cab, go to a nice hotel She’s going to stay in the lobby, and I need you to go buy a car Local Cash No paperback”

Jake’s gaze met mine “Got it”

“After you get the vehicle, go to a different irl pick it Text me where you are”

Jake’s gaze narrowed and his chewing slowed He lowered his taco “You and Cavers need backup?”

Raize’s response was brisk right before he hung up “No Do as I say” And then dial tone

Jake sighed, raising his taco again “I ain’t doing shit until I finish my third taco”
