Chapter 2
Louis POV
“Get your fucking feet off my fucking desk,” I yelled to my second in command.
“Careful brother, watch your language. You wouldn’t want that nasty habit to rub off on the tiny human,” Fizzy said teasingly as she took her feet off my desk.
I pulled Reese closer to my chest as I walked farther into the room. It was about six-thirty in the morning and I needed her to sleep for a few more hours. She doesn’t need to know her uncle is running one of the biggest gangs in New York City.
“Hush Fizzy! The earlier she wakes up, the less planning that goes into the Bank United heist,” I hissed at her as I sank down on the leather couch, gently shifting Reese. “What’s the plan?”
“I sent Zayn to case the place this time. Who would think twice about the head detective’s boyfriend opening an account at a bank closer to his lover boy?” She replied sinisterly.
“Don’t talk bad about Liam. You know Zayn truly loves him, they’ve been in love since you were in diapers. When is he supposed to report back?” I asked, knowing Zayn hadn’t slept in the house last night.
He knows better than to bring Liam to the gang house, especially this close to a job. Liam knows that Zayn is in the mafia, but everyone in New York is afflicted with one gang or another. Liam just doesn’t know that Zayn is third in command of the new broken scene.
“He should be back before your little obsession goes to work.”
Before I could respond to her, my lead dealer stepped into the room, “Hey boss I got some good news and I got some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” Crystal said as she took a seat.
“Do I want to know?” I asked as she fidgeted in her seat.
“Tom was at the club again tonight, but the good news is your boy toy misses you, I don’t understand why you don’t just talk to him. He obviously still wants you.”
“What do you mean he misses me? What did he say!” I said lunging forward, but abandoning the plan at the last minute when I felt Reece shift in my lap.
“CAREFUL! DON’T WAKE HER UP!” Félicité whisper-yelled at me from across the room. I held my breath waiting for her to wake up, but all she did was get comfortable again.
“He was wearing your old hoodie I think. It was a denim blue hoodie and it was a bit snug on him but I don’t think he would have accepted another one,” she said as she pulled out her phone, “I think I’m gonna go to sleep, a night of bartending and drug dealing really takes a toll. I personally think it’s the being nice to people part but most people think it’s the working all night part,” She said standing up walking towards the door to head to her room.
“Crystal, good job today,” I said as she was walking out of the room.
“You know, I’ve been around longer than Crystal has and I still haven’t figured out why you are so nice to her compared to the rest of us,” Fizzy said, spinning in my desk chair.
“Some people have just been given a bad hand, and I want to make it better. Don’t worry about it Fizz,” I said leaning back on the couch and closing my eyes for a second.
“Boss I was able to hack into the Bank United security system, they only change guards every three hours, so if we want to sneak in during a guard change we only have four chances to do it with only ten minutes in between each post change,” Ashton said as he came in with a tablet in his hand.
“This is why you're the best hacker in New York City,” I said as he showed me the footage, “When do you think the best time would be?”
“They are usually dead from three to five, a few people may be in there, but what’s a few casualties?” Ashton said matter-of-factly.
“BABY!” Fizzy and I whisper-yelled at Ashton.
“What? It’s not like you really care about the casualties. Besides, that child is as corrupt as the rest of us by now,” He said nonchalantly.
“That doesn’t mean I want the four-year-old to know how to hack into a bank security system. This is why we keep you in your computer room and away from society,” I said as Ashton got up to head back to his room.
“I still think this is a bad plan, pulling a heist on the Riverside turf, but you're the only one crazy enough to do it,” he said shaking his head while walking out of the room. He’s probably going to go to sleep. Sleep; that’s something we don’t get very much of in the new broken scene. We’re usually too busy planning a new heist.
“So, I made sure your lover boy was in his apartment before I came back here, he didn’t eat all night so I had to make him get food, but that’s normal. He seemed a little freaked out when we got to the diner, but it could have been due to being at work all night,” my best guard said as he came in and plopped down on the couch across from me.
“Did mention if anything weird happened?”
“Now that you mention it, he seemed to want to get home faster than normal. But it could all just be that he’s worked all night, he also said that he’s going to be home all day today,” Niall said looking bored.
“Okay, you have tomorrow off just make sure you make it to Harry’s next shift,” I said standing up from the couch with Reece in my arms, heading towards Fizzy to give her the baby, “Make sure she’s good, I’m going to bed,” I said walking towards the door.
“Funny how you can’t go to bed until you know he’s okay,” Fizzy said flashing her knowing smile at me.
I shook my head as I walked into the dark hallway thinking about the green eyed beauty I was missing.
