The last time he remembers waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and a mouthwatering eggs and bacon was on the second day of their honeymoon. He looks to the left and there she is, lying there with her new high cut night dress showing off her long legs and olive skin. “What is this all about?” he asks while grabbing his breakfast, a good description of how she’s looking at him would be excited and concerned at the same time. She grabs his hand and gently rubs it from one side of her belly to the other back and forth. “I know we didn’t plan this, I was trying to avoid telling you, the symptoms started to show a few weeks ago… I am pregnant”. Her face turns red, he can see the fear in her eyes, the fear of what the future holds. He’s afraid as well, the thought that he would probably one day disappoint them keeps nibbling in his mind... he places the plate back on the side table then turns facing her. ”Don’t worry about it, we will manage” She can hear the shaking in his voice, she knows that with the current pay rates they wouldn’t possibly be able to manage having a kid. He grabs her hand and places it behind his back then rests his head on her chest.
Her heartbeat races up when she hears footsteps outside the bedroom. He jumps up, puts one hand on her chest pushing her behind him and the second under the pillow to grab his gun. “They found me faster than I anticipated” he says while dragging her down to the ground on the other side of the bed “I am sorry I didn’t tell you!”

 ““Godmother Crystalize sent you to me for a reason, she said you needed help with something, and protection and that I can offer, but before I do that I have to trust you, and for me to trust you, you have to prove yourself worthy, prove that you are capable of handling the life of organized crime.” I knew that my life would never be the same again, I knew that my job’s pay wouldn’t be enough to help me support my extending family, and that I needed a plan, a plan that would solve all my problems. “What if I told you I already proved myself?” I said smiling at TurkeyBear, I took out a cigarette, lit it up and then continued, “I need your help, but before I could ask for your help there are a few things you should know”

"“But why would you go through all this trouble knowing it will not end up well for you? I mean you do know that after this you won’t be able to get your normal life back, don’t you?” I took another puff off my cigarette then threw it in the security guard’s face, “I am not planning on having my normal life back, without this money there won’t be a life for me to go back to”. The man grinned, then made his way to the counter, “what’s the hold up?” he said talking to Tommy, “Where are we with the safe?” He turned back, took out his gun and started waving it around, “I don’t want to hear another voice. This will be over sooner than you think, so shut the fuck up and keep your hands where I can see them”. The sound of sirens started getting closer, the cops were on their way and we were still unable to crack open the safe. I waved my hand to Rob signaling the three minute countdown, then a few seconds later Tommy cracked the safe. I ran to the safe room holding a duffel bag and started loading it with cash. It didn’t take us long to load the bags, we wrapped everything up and made our way outside where Toby was waiting for us in the getaway car. I loaded the bags in the trunk, then I turned facing Rob, “we forgot one bag inside, I will go get it, if the cops get here before I get out, go without me”, I ran inside and went straight to the safe room, got myself a chair, sat down and waited."

“Wait! Are you telling me that you could have gotten away but didn’t? You turned yourself in?” TurkeyBare was obviously confused, I mean who would rob a bank get away with it only to get himself caught on purpose.

 "I took another sip off the water cup then looked up at the detective. “You have no idea what I have been through, what I did to get to where I am now”, he grinned, then burst out in laughter. ”you turned yourself in remember? That plan of yours, you giving up your accomplices in exchange for your freedom, I mean you seem to be a smart guy, you should know that this plan is not going to work, you should also know that you won’t get out of this alive either!” His smile grew wider as he talked, I saw it in his eyes, the sense of victory and satisfaction. “You got this all wrong… you see I knew that you were in it from the start, and I know about the deal you made with Rob, and I am not here to make a deal with you”. I could hear my corrupt agent’s voice shouting outside the room, getting closer.” I also know about your plan to have the guy kill me and my wife once the robbery was over! Because that’s the only way you would be able to cover up your story! Get a piece of the deal! And the biggest fuck up you did was you didn’t investigated a bit more than you did into my history before you and those idiots tried to back-stab me! You see, in a few seconds I am going to get myself free of these handcuffs and I am going to kill you!” The detective bursts with laughter “that’s a cool story, and you seem to know more than I anticipated but that doesn’t change anything! Now tell me how are you planning to get out of these handcuffs?” convinced that it’s all over now and that he had won, the detective took out a cigarette lit it up then stared straight into my eyes and smiled. “A few years ago I met a guy in philly, this man spent his life mastering the art of theft and the sleight of hand, among the many things he thought me… was how to get my hands free from handcuffs…” A moment of silence filled the room, I stood up, grabbed the water cup and smashed his face with it. Then I walked up to him grabbed his gun and shoved it in his mouth ‘What I know is that I am going to shoot you now, what I also know is that in a few seconds that door will open my corrupt agent will walk in and get me the hell out of here, but what I don’t know yet is what I will do to your family once I am out!” Bang!"

“Interesting… How were you able to pay off a corrupt agent? And what happened to the rest of guys who were with you in the robbery?” asked TurkeyBear waving his hands in confusion. “Well that same guy in Philly I mentioned earlier gave me a contact for someone in an organization called “HelpDesck” He said all I needed to do was to set up a mailing address and they would contact me. A few days later the Agent came and introduced himself as Agent Droper downlo, as for the guys from the robbery… well that’s what I need your help with! They are coming after me.” still a bit confused, TurkeyBare raised an eyebrow and said “I don’t get it, they got away with the money and you killed the only person who knows where they are and is able to get to them” I smiled as he said that, I took another sip off the whiskey, stared at it for a second then I explained, “Well that’s not exactly true, I kind of switched the duffel bags on our way out to the car. The corrupt agent was with us in the bank acting as one of the hostages.” Shaking my head sideways I took out a cigarette lit it up then continued, ”She knows that our financial situation doesn’t allow us to have kids, that’s why she didn’t tell me she is pregnant, and that’s why I planned the bank heist. I also overheard a conversation between these street thugs I planned the robbery with saying they were going to double cross me with some dirty cop, so I had to do something about it. Don! I didn’t go through all this just for the money, I knew that I needed protection for me and for my family, you’re the only one who can offer that.” TurkeyBear took a deep breath then shook his head in agreement. “So you did all this for you family… you do know that once you’re in there is no going out!” a sudden rush of anxiety filled my body for few seconds then disappeared, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to survive in the streets without help. “I understand perfectly”"

TurkeyBear spots the gang closing in on the house, he signals Smash and Karmen then makes his way through the back door to get into position, “They found me faster than I anticipated” he says while dragging his wife down to the ground on the other side of the bed “I am sorry I didn’t tell you! But don’t worry! Stay here and don’t move, I will be right back!” he makes his way outside to the end of the corridor, Rob parks his car on the other side of the street, then makes his way to the front door. On the right, Karmen takes her position behind the kitchen door, on the left, Smash, behind the living room couch and in the back, TurkeyBear aiming his machine gun at the front. What came next was a complete work of art! All three of Rob, Tommy and Toby’s bodies start dancing at the front door as the bullets hit them from every sides, their blood splashing all over the walls around them. A few seconds later the gun shots stopped and a moment of silence fills the room.

Not knowing what the hell is going on, she walks out of the bedroom and makes her way to the front door. She freezes at the sight of the bodies and blood all over the walls. “JACK! What the fuck!” she screams repeatedly waving her hands around.  “Hunny… sit down,…I’ll explain everything…”
