Lottie ran for 15 minutes straight, all the way from Doc's to the docks. As she got there she realised they hadn't arrived yet, so she lay on the front of a broken car to catch her breath,
"Lottie?" a voice called out, she shot up to look in the direction of the speaker,
"Jesus Christ Anthony! Don't scare a me like that! i just ran from the other side of manhattan to get here!" she cried to him, holding a hand on her heart,
"what are ya here for?" he asked sitting opposite her on crates,
"Riff's got a gun! he's gonna take it to the rumble. i'm gonna try and stop him." She saw Tony's face immediately drop as she mentioned a gun,
"a gun? are ya playin' with me?" he spoke seriousness laced in every word,
"on Diesel's life, serious. Help me get it off him please." She begged him,
"swear on it Lotto, i'll help ya! he's lost his mind. let's plan it." He told her, she got up and walked to him.
The pair of them spoke about what they would try and do. After they had finalised their plan, Tony told her about his date. He had met a girl María, who was also Bernardo's little sister and it all made sense to Lottie about why he was so upset. She also admired the lovestruck look on his face as he talked about his María.
The two had almost finished gossiping when they heard shouting coming from the distance. Lottie ran and hid behind a pile of crates.
As the group got closer, Lottie could hear them playing around, obviously with the gun,
"Pow!" Tony mocked, making Riff spin around in fright, Gun out in front of him, Tony threw up his hands,
"Gee whillikers Batman, since when do you carry a rod?" Riff smiled at his brother but kept his gun out in front of him,
"we'll i don't got magic power like you superman, so i got this!" Riff sassed, Tony walked towards him with a cheeky grin on his face,
"Promise to be with us tonight? i'll let ya hold it." Tony went to grab for the gun and got ahold of the barrel end,
"when are ya gonna grow up?" Tony asked rhetorically, trying to pry the weapon out of Riff's hands,
"never probably, born to die young, Daddio!" Riff smiled at himself, getting slightly annoyed by Tony who was trying to pull the gun out of his grasp,
"They catch you with this? it's fifteen years in Attica!" Tony told him, worried he wasn't letting up, Riff just laughed at him and started pushing him off more,
"call it off!" Tony deadpanned,
"call what off?" Riff asked, genuinely concerned for his behaviour, he tried pulling the gun out of Tony's hands but he kept on pulling it closer to him, so he started walking backwards,
"tell Bernardo, the cops found out about the rumble. tell him to rain check." Tony implied, walking with him,
"hey why should we call it off? We got a gun?" Tiger piped in,
"shut up Tiger stay outta this!" Ice spoke, knowing better than to get in between the brother's arguing,
"you know we would even need a gun if you was with us? but you ain't, so let go of my goddamn gun-" Riff didn't get to finish his sentence,
"what about Lottie?" Tony quipped louder to get her attention,
"yeah? what about her?" Riff spoke and stopped walking backwards,
"does she know your doin' this? how would she feel?" Tony questioned him,
"i don't want her to know, she'll kill me. also this is to keep her safe!" Riff sassed, Lottie had enough, she jumped out of her spot and sprinted towards the pair, catching them both off guard, she snatched the gun from between them both,
"Crap!" Riff muttered,
