“This is a reminder to always remain seated and fasten your seat-belts while the plane is taking off” An announcement can be heard amidst the low whir of the plane engine.
“Yes, dad.. we’re on our way..” Roku says while he checks the equipment packed. “Wha- no!! Nana and I made some pretty good money in the city- Move your fucking legs twin I can’t get to the seat!” he said as he kicks the shin of Nana.
“Oy! Don’t blame me, there’s not enough leg space! Why’d we even pick economy anyways?!” Nana replies with an annoyed tone. “That’s because this fucking airline doesn’t even accept Cadence dollars” Roku responded, exasperated as he takes a seat. “Besides, we’ve spent most of our money on cars.”
“..You reckon the others would be okay?” he asks while rummaging through the food pamphlet. “Christ almighty, a single proper fucking food here.. I already miss the ‘Southern Hospitality’” he sighs as he places the pamphlet back. “Can’t believe I’m saying this but I also miss the Wilos already.”
Without a word, Nana passes a plastic bag full of chocolate milk “Here you go.” Nana says as while she types in her phone smiling*.* Roku has never seen her sister smile this much again. The last memory he has of her smiling genuinely was when they were young.
“I’m not even gonna question how you managed to sneak this in.. nor am I gonna wonder why you’re eye-fucking the shit out of your phone” Roku says pretending to shiver as he takes a sip from the Wilo as he tries to hide the fact that he is bemused that his twin managed to sneak in an open plastic bag full of chocolate milk.
”Shut the fuck up! .. I’m just talking to Seipher! And I’m sure they’ll be fine. I’d be more worried for the people that fucks with the Perez” She chuckles. “The family has grown bigger.. For better or for worse that is” She pockets her phone and signals a flight attendant.
“Well.. if you say so” Roku replies with a skeptic tone as he takes out a cigarette pack and takes out a stick. “Got bigger problems though. Dad wouldn’t ask us to go back to Japan for nothing” He adds as he takes out a lighter.
Nana yanks the the cigarette from Roku’s mouth and snapped the cigarette in followed by pointing at the ‘No Smoking’ overhead sign. “Dumb bitch.. anyways. Seems like something is going on with our ‘Family Business’” she replies. she then takes a glance at the flight attendant “2 chicken please” The flight attended nods and calmly walks away. “You wanna know what I think? I think we should’ve brought more of our ‘equipment’”
“Yeah well, Jayson only gave us.. enough” Roku shrugs “You’re more ‘hands-on’ and I deal with the ‘distant’ problems. I say we’ll be fine.. we’ve dealt with small-fries before.. this isn’t anything new”
Several hours later..
Nana yawns and intentionally shoves Roku who was napping by the shoulder making him hit is head by the window side.
Thud!
“ITTE!! Watch it twin, fucking hell.. you act like AJ with the sudden hits” He said as he rubs his head in pain while looking out the window. A scenery he never thought he’d see again. The city as beautiful as it seems from the outside, he knows the streets that they’ve painted red.
“Looks like we’re back to our hometown.. It doesn’t feel like home at this point.” He sighs. “I’d rather hang out with Therese and that’s saying a lot of things already.”
“Now now brother, we’re still part of this ‘Family’. We’re obligated to follow every order and you know that.” She paused.
A flight attendant approaches giving out hot towels. She grabs two and gives a slight nod to her with a polite smile. She tosses one to Roku. “Might as well put that on your bald head and make it shiny” she said jokingly. “If you’re gonna hang out with eldest, I’d like to hang out with Isa.” She says while using the hot towel. “She’s like us, but crazier.” She tilts her head smiling at the memories.
“I already miss all of them honestly.” Roku replies using the hot towel on his hands. “If anything, I’d like to drive around with Mimi again” He softly smiles. “We’ll see them again right? Hell, we practically gave them keys to the Perez Mansion.” He pauses. “They better not mess with the equipment in the gun room! It took so much time to maintain all that weaponry.” He sighs as he remembers a fond memory “Vier.. he would mess around with the pistols most of the time.. finding the perfect gun for him he’d say.” He takes a deep breath and wears the sunglasses.
