Brian cast one glance back at the beauty he had just parked in this dreadful neighborhood. It was equipped with state of the art alarms but Brian still had a bad feeling.
At least someone was watching from a distance.

His gutt feeling told him to turn around and forget about it but he knew if he didn't do it somebody else would. Step by step he got closer to Jack and Fayes apartment.
His knuckles connected with the door that barely had any color left on it. At first no sound could be heard, just the eager heads of nosy neighbors popping out behind him again.
"Mind your own business." Brian told the kid he had met before.
Then he knocked again, harder, and jiggled the keys. "Show time, Jack!"

A soft knock at his door caused Jack to wake up a bit. He had fallen asleep on the couch, not a rare occasion since he barely got any these days. A second and louder knock came soon after, bringing him back to the land of the living completely as his brow furrowed. Why couldn't they leave him the fuck alone...

He moved reluctantly out of his less than comfortable position, grabbing his M9 from the coffee table and shoving it in his jeans' waistband behind his back just in case. It would do him no good if he was caught off guard. Once he reached the door, he leaned in and looked out the peep hole, cursing under his breath before he opened the door.

"Brian, what the fuck are you doing here." He grumbled as he moved away from the door, leaving it wide open for his brother to enter. Whatever Brian wanted this time, another speech, a brother to brother talk... he wasn't in the mood and he wasn't afraid to show it either if it was necessary.

Reluctantly Brian stepped in the door and pushed it close behind him.
"You alone?" He let his gaze wonder around for signs of Faye before he shot a quick look at Jack, who obviously had just woken up.
"Get ready. I have a pretty darn expensive car sitting in the parking lot downstairs, that just happens to be on your delivery list."
He shoved his hands in his pockets.
"I have a vest in the car." For obvious reasons the topic gave him the creeps.
He took a quick breath and asked. "Bring your gun..."
Truth be told the thought of Jack and a gun made him want to run and hide but if his brother was supposed to come out of this alive he might need a gun.
