Colton

I woke up extra early this morning, so I can get into the shop before Lucy’s party. Her present is wrapped and ready to go. She’s going to love the tickets to a traveling dinosaur show that’s coming up. I guess the show involves animatronics to make the dinosaurs appear real. Daniel said she’s been asking to go since she saw it advertised on TV.

Making my way downstairs, I notice a light on in the office. I know I didn’t leave it on, so I’m cautious as I approach the door.

I can hear noises coming from inside. They’re faint, but noises, nonetheless. I walk slowly closer to the closed office door, then I hear something that makes me cringe.

“Oh God, Franny, if you keep doing that, I won’t last very long.”

Goddamn it. Vinny and Franny are screwing in my office. It’s only seven in the morning and my day is already ruined.

I’ll give them fifteen minutes, which should be more than enough for Vinny. After that, I’m banging on the fucking door.

Thirteen minutes later, Vinny and Franny come out of my office. The second they notice me, Franny averts her eyes while Vinny puffs out his chest. Oh, Jesus. I try not to roll my eyes, but I’m not very successful.

“Good morning, Murph,” Vinny says with a smirk.

“It is for you, Vin. Me? Not so much.”

“Sorry, Colton. We got carried away,” Franny says.

Christ, I can’t be mad at her. Vinny, though? Yeah, he knows better than to do shit like that, especially since the cops are after me. I don’t need him drawing any more attention to me, him, or Franny.

“I have to go, Viper. Dagger will be home any minute, and if I’m not there, he won’t be happy.”

“If he lays a hand on you, Franny, I’ll fucking kill him.”

“I’ll be careful. I can’t have you in prison for murder, now can I?”

Vinny’s eyes shoot to mine, and Franny realizes what she said. “Sorry, Colton. I wasn’t thinking.”

I give her a chin nod. “No problem, Franny. Neither one of us should be in prison for murder. I’m just not so sure that Vinny won’t kill Dagger, so let’s all play this cool, OK?”

Franny looks at Vinny. “Please don’t do anything, Vinny. Let me handle this, all right? I know what I’m doing.”

Vinny gives Franny a slap on the ass, and she jumps forward with a squeal. “Just keep me posted on what you find out, OK? Now, get going, so Dagger doesn’t have a reason to be suspicious.”

Franny gives me a quick wave goodbye as she walks out the door.

“Really, Vinny? You had to screw her here? What the hell happened to showing a little restraint?”

Vinny laughs. “Let me ask you something, Murph. How much restraint would you show if you were in love with a woman who belongs to someone else? Wouldn’t you take advantage of any small moments you two could share?”

Well, now I feel like a dick.

“I need to get the Cheeser’s and clean up after a private party last night.
