Boomer?

3rd person pov

"They're looking for him" Annie said as she walked into Beth's house and to the kitchen where Beth was scrubbing the counter

"Do they know he's missing?" Beth asked glancing at her, "I dont know"

"Or is it just about the robbery?", "I dont know" Annie sighed once more

"What did you tell them?" Beth asked placing the sponge down, "That you bashed his head in with a whiskey bottle" Annie said rolling her eyes as Ruby and Carmella came into the house

"What do you think i told them?" She added, "So, i got $18 in tips. I had to sell Stan's favorite set of cuff links for $250. Sara is playing her first soccer game in a T-shirt instead of the team uniform. Which give us a grand total of $343. Which means we now owe $59,657 to the violet street gang. Please tell me you guys did better" Ruby sighed as her and Carmella sat at the island

"What is going on?" Carmella asked looking between the sisters, "There's been a development" Beth spoke up

"What kind of development?"

"What are we looking at right now?" Carmella asked looking at Annie's manager tied up in the tree house, "What are we even looking at right now?" Ruby added yelling a little, as Boomer began to scream but it was muffled from the tape

"He knows about the store. He was going to the cops" Beth said as the four walked back into the house, "Does he know about the gang?" Carmella asked closing the door

"Hell, no. That's way above his pay grade. He's, like, the definition of middle management. Oh, and also he tried to rape me"

"Wait, what?"

"huh?"

"That is absolutely true" Beth nodded, "He's a dick and a rapist"

"It was self defense" Beth shrugged standing by Annie, "Self-defense?"

"Definietly"

"yes"

"Okay, uh, how is hog-tying a man, climbing him 12 feet above ground and hiding him in the kid's tree house self defense?" Carmella asked crossing her arms over her chest as the two were speechless

"Okay, you know what? You two weren't there" Annie said clicking her tongue, "You're damn right, we weren't there"

"We are feeding him" Beth said as she began to pace a little, "Okay. Well, you know..." Ruby sighed leaning against the counter

"What else were we supposed to do? If he goes to the cops, we're screwed"

"No! We're screwed because of the gang that is going to kill us fi we dont get them their money" Ruby said annoyed, "I kinda miss him and his threats" Carmella sighed as the three looked at her before waving her off

"She's right, not Carmella, Ruby. First things first"

"Well, i make nine dollars an hour, so just give me a couple decades" Annie scoffed, "Okay. Who do we know?"

"To rob?" Annie asked as the three girls looked at her, "To ask for money, Annie!"

"Somebody rich who would care if i was dead? I mean, i wish" Annie scoffed as Carmella, Beth and Ruby looked at eachohter before looking at Annie

"What? Who?" Annie asked confused as the three were staring at her, "No"

"What do you mean, "No?"

"I mean, no. No, no, no" Annie said turning towards the counter, "Annie, this is life or death"

"So then why dont we ask Carmella's? He's richer than mine" Annie said rolling her eyes, "Uh, probably cause mine's a literally psycho who stalked me for years after we broke up? And just got out of jail and is, i dont know, probably already looking for me!" Carmella said sitting on the counter

"Fine, I choose death then. Give me death!" Annie yelled throwing her hands in the air

"He's really out of jail?" Beth asked looking at Carmella once Annie left and they made their way to the diner Ruby worked at, "Yeah, why?"

"And can he really be looking for you?" Ruby added as Carmella nodded, "You guys know how he is. Even before we got together he was stalking me, and then once we broke up he was also stalking me" Carmella shrugged leaning on the counter playing with her straw

"Thank you for making me completely humiliate myself for no reason" they heard Annie say once she walked into the diner

"There are cold" Annie said eating a fry, "They aren't ours" Beth spoke up, "Ew!" Annie said before spitting the fry out

"What do we do now?" Annie asked as the four girls looked at one another, "I have no idea" Ruby sighed before staring at something

"What is it?"

"You okay?"

"Stay here" Ruby said before walking behind the counter, the three girls turned around only to see the three gang members

"We cant let her go alone!" Carmella whisper yelled, "Then be our guest and go" Beth said as Carmella rolled her eyes before getting up

"What are you doing, Mel?" Ruby asked looking at the girl who was walking by her, "Not letting you die alone" Carmella smiled

"I can do it, Ruby" Carmella spoke looking at Ruby once she noticed how scared she was, "Just stay with me" Ruby said once they arrived at the table

"I got a question for you. The Two, Two, and Two meal deal... How much is that?" he asked looking at the two, "$7.95" Ruby replied shakily

"Yeah, see, but if i order two hot cakes, two sausages, and two eggs a la carte, its cheaper"

"You get a garnish too" Carmella spoke up seeing Ruby hesitant to speak, "Like parsley or something?" he questioned as the three chuckled and she rolled her eyes, "An orange slice"

"You tell the owner that aint right? I know Carmella dont work here" He said looking at her, "Cheating people like that?" he added

Ruby swallowed slowly as she noticed the gun, "We're gonna get you your money. All of it. I swear"

"Now that would be great"

"We need more time to get it" she added as he nodded, "Thank you" Ruby said letting out a breath

"Ill come by tomorrow. One o'clock good for you? Carmella's house, its nice" he nodded grabbing his gun before gutting up as they all left

"Damn, stalker 2.0" Carmella said rolling her eyes
