one month later....

i am horrible at keeping up with this thing..


as most of you know, olivia have patched things up, and are happily back together. i am however, staying in fort worth for now. i have plans, big plans. details later.
nicky has moved in, as well as her 2 cats, sir and chani. oh yeah, and mikey for the most part. so far it is going well. i am very happy to still have this bad ass apartment in the best side of town. i have been planning on getting a second job so i can get out of debt, but hours at work seem to be picking up (i am also picking up hours at other stores). trying my hardest to stay out of the bar every goddamn night also.

so, funny story time.

last night, at work, closing w/ jaeger. end of the night. his friend pip is up there at the store, as well as his brother damian (of black dog fame), along w/ his girlfriend amanda. we are locking up and walking out of the store. i walk off to the side of the building and sit in one of the patio chairs to wait for nicky to show up. the others are standing in front of the store on the front walk chatting when a hispanic guy gets out of a car that is parked directly in front of the store, backed into a space. he asks the group something that i don't catch, and gets back in the car. jaeger and pip leave, as do damian and amanda. i am left alone with the guy sitting in the car. i try to text mikey to see if nicky is w/ him because nicky lost her phone about a week ago or so. no reply. i do get a text from jaeger that says "get in the car, don't ask why." i am rather confused by this. does he mean get in the car w/ the strange guy? is he doing lines? i text back "what?" about that time pip and jaeger pull into the lot behind me looking freaked out, jaeger beckoning me to the car. i walk over and he says "get in the car, he has a gun!"

of course i oblige. as we pull out i get the plate number, and we drive into the neighborhood. jaeger calls the cops. i try to call mikey because i don't want them to show up and get shot or something. turns out that fool is playing pinball at the chat. we decide to go back and stake out the lot. the guy is still there, but no cops. i then see a newer beetle pull into the lot and realize it's carrah and nicky.
i immediately call carrah to see if it is her.

"hello?"

"where are you?"

"in front of your store, where are you?"

"get out of there, that guy in that car has a gun."

"what? are you kidding me?"

"get the fuck out of there now!"

i watch them pull out, we leave to. i call her back. she asks again if i am shitting her. i tell her to meet us at 7-11. when we get there, we explain what happened. i go inside and buy some beer.

car and nicky take me home. they go to the bar. pip and jaeger go back to watch, i tell the to update me. no cops ever showed. there were 2 down the street stopping people, drug deal occured still. jaeger called again.

a cop finally called him back to apologize. turns out it was an undercover cop the whole time on a sting op to bust drug buyers.

should have known.

i gotta go to work now.


bye.
