-Pt. 1- Short Story R1

-Pt. 1- Short Story R1

"So....When are you going to hit that place?"
"Not for a while, why is that so important Jack?"

The man shrugged his shoulders a bit. He was leaning back in a chair, spinning a handgun in his hand using his finger as the pivoting point.

"You know one day you're going to accidently hit that trigger right?"
"Well then at least I go out with a bang." He chuckled.
"That's a good way of putting it. Then you leave me with no partner."
"Oh come now Jake, don't be so shrewd."

Jack placed the weapon on the table and leaned forward, landing with a thud. He got up and went across the room to the fridge, the raggedy and splintered floor boards creaked and groaned as they were stepped on. Jack opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water and went back to sit down in his chair. A wind blew against the house and made the place groan again.

Jack piled up a duffle bag and a backpack in the corner before he got up and sat at the table, across from Jake.

Jack opened his bottle and took a sip before speaking. " Tonight I'm assuming?"
Jake nodded and chuckled slightly. " Yeah."
"What?"
"Nothing, just remember the first time we got into this business?"
Jake's eyes opened wide and his head jerked forward as he almost spit out some water, he swallowed then bursted out laughing.
" You mean when the cops came and got confused as to who we were?"
Jake nodded. His face was red and he was laughing, or more or less wheezing.
Jack set down his bottle and his chair slammed forward; he layed on the table and chuckled for a bit before he got up and took a deep breath. " That was funny."
Jake nodded and regained himself. " Yeah, I'm not even sure why they grabbed those other two guys when we clearly had the bags full of money."
"Well, its quite easy to get confused between sexy and ugly because who would honestly think a sexy man like myself would do such 'devious' things?"
Jake smirked and laughed slightly. " Suuuuure." He said in a sarcastic tone as he slapped the back of Jack's head. " Come on, we got to get geared up. "
 Jack sighed and walked over putting his hands behind his head and slouching. " How much we aiming for this time?"
Jake shrugged. " Enough."
