[i]Life has funny ways of messing around with you, depending on the choices you make. Look at me for example. I never chose a life of crime! You gotta be a complete fool to do it willingly. All I wanted was to be a soldier. I even succeeded too. I was a US Marine. Only for six freakin' years. From 18 till 24. Then my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and I had to be there for her, to help her out. We didn't had enough money for a proper treatment so I had to make money. And I soon found out that illegally was the only possible way to make money fast. I took part in illegal fights, I worked for an arms dealer, taking care of his shit. I didn't took any pleasure in doing illegal things but it's not like I had a choice. And all the dirty money I was winning was going to a good cause, to help her get through, with only a few left for personal pleasure. So I guess that was my only consolation. After my mom overcome the cancer I decided to get straight, at least for a little bit. I opened up a legal business, not much, just a car shop. I stopped working for that arms dealer, and I only fight rarely anymore, when I feel like it. All my life I had to struggle and make decisions, I never had it easy but don't get my wrong, i'm not complaining. At least i'm still alive and well. And here I am breaking the law again. For over a year now i've been part of a band of thiefs. We all have our place, our role in the team. Me...i'm their heavy hitter, their weapons man. Well, me and some scottish lunatic named Jim. We both get along just fine. There's no competition between me and him, as in who's better and more efficient. However he's a loose cannon, a permanently angry bastard and whenever i'm around him I feel that he's gonna go all crazy on us if he won't like something.[/i] Mike woke in the sound of his smartphone's alarm ringing, as he grabbed the smartphone and stopped it's alarm, placing it back on the nightstand. Still dull from the sleep, he yawned and rubbed his eyes with his hands as he started looking around. It was morning time as he got up from the bed and started looking around. He took a room in a four star hotel. A really nice place with everything you need. Then he saw a pair of pink thong panties on the bed with a piece of paper underneath them which aparently had a message on it. Mike grabbed the panties then the paper and started reading from it. [i]"Thanks for the amazing time Mike. You're probably the best client I ever had. And such a sweet guy. For once I actually enjoyed having sex with a client. Usually I get it over with fast because they're all such filthy pigs. But you're different. Anyway I wanted to leave you with a parting gift. I also took the liberty of taking some money from your wallet. Don't worry I only took half of what I usually request from my clients. P.S. Thanks for the wine! Jenna"[/i] Mike imidieatly checked his wallet and it looked like the woman told the truth. Most of the money was still there with only a few missing. Then he headed to the table where an opened up bottle of red wine and two glasses one empty and one half full where located. He closed the bottle then he drank the rest of the wine from the half empty glass. After putting it down he remembered that he is supposed to meet with the team so he quickly put some clothes on him. A pair of blue jeans, a dark blue long sleeved t-shirt, a pair of black work-type boots and a black leather jacket. After grabbing his phone and the keys to his hotel room Mike quickly headed to the elevator getting back down to the lobby. Once he was out of the hotel he signaled a cab that stopped at the side of the road as Mike got inside quickly shutting the door. [b]"Where to?"[/b] Asked the driver. [b]"Oz Park!"[/b] Said Mike as the driver started the meter and drove away to the destination given to him by Mike. After a couple of minutes of driving the cab took Mike to his intended destination as Mike pulled out some money from his wallet and paid the driver. [b]"Here! You can keep the change."[/b] Said Mike as he opened the door getting out. [b]"Thank you sir!"[/b] Said the driver as Mike closed the door and the cab drove away. Oz Park. This is where Mike was supposed to meet with Charlotte and Angelo. Then the three of them would hook up with the others a little later. [b]"Well it looks like I arrived here first."[/b] Said Mike looking around to see if Angelo or Charlotte where anywhere to be seen. All of a sudden Mike felt hungry so he headed to a hot dog cart as he looked at the vendor. [b]"Gimme one! With everything."[/b] He said as the vendor quickly got to work, preparing his hot dog. Once he was done Mike payed the man and walked away with his hot dog as he took a bite from it and leaned next to a pole, somewhere outside of the park, waiting for Charlotte and Angelo.
