At least ill die hot

3rd person pov

The four then spent the next few hours cleaning, but at the same time looking for the money

"Got any family in town, Marion?" Annie asked dusting a chandelier, "My husband passed last year" Marion said coming into the kitchen with a plate of snacks

"Oh, im sorry for your lost" Carmella spoke up as she was cleaning off some counters

"Such is life. We had 40 years. Five children, sixteen grandchildren" Marion said sitting down

"Wow. That must keep you busy" Ruby said looking at her, "Every one of 'em moved away. Can you believe that? They're just too into their own lives. Except Leslie. He's my little boy. Oh, and this is his fiancé. Isn't she pretty?"

Annie grabbed the picture frame from Marion, it held a picture of Boomer on one side, and then Jessica Alba on the other side

"I know what you're thinking, but she's only half" Marion said as Ruby and Carmella's eyes widened

"How about some of this no-calorie lemonade?"

"Marion, where's your restroom?" Beth asked looking at her as Marion pointed to the right

"Be sure to really get back in that corner, now" Marion motioned to Ruby, who was vacumming

Carmella was in the dining room looking around, as Annie was sitting on the couch eating

"You gonna make the white girl clean something? Or does she just get to eat?"

"Mm. Doug looks so skinny here"

"yeah"

"Oy, Gloria, are you ever not pregnant. Right. Here, hand me-" Annie said talking about her lemonade when Beth came outta no where

"We gotta go. Now" she said catching everyone's attention, before turning and leaving

Carmella following, as Ruby turned the vacuum off and followed

"Sorry, Marion"

"You didnt take it?" Annie asked looking at Beth annoyed, "I told you, Dean is in my backyard. I cant do this"

"No! We're doing it. Stop"

"Why didnt you take the money?" Carmella asked looking at Beth, "I couldn't do it"

"You couldn't rob the sweet old racist lady?" Ruby asked as Beth sighed, "She had this life. She had this full life that she loved. Come on. We're robbing lonely old people? This is who we are now?"

"What we are is screwed because you choked" Annie said as Beth began to walk away, "Beth" Ruby said as Beth turned to looked at her

"We needed that money"

"I know. Im sorry. I gotta go"

"Oh, perfect. We'll talk about this tomorrow, when the hot man kills us!" Carmella yelled as Beth jogged away

"Mom, what are you doing?" Estella asked yawning, "Hi, baby. Uh, just you know, you gonna go see your aunt soon. So im packing" Carmella lied a little

"I made sure to write a note of all the things you like, and what not to buy you cause you wont eat it or use it. And im made sure to have all your stuff so you can get your license soon. And there's extra cash in here so you can still do cheerleading and all that fun stuff" Carmella explained as Estella was confused

"Why would she need all this?"

"You should go back to sleep, its like, 4am" Carmella said looking at her daughter who nodded, "Goodnight, mom"

"Goodnight, Stella"

"How much is there?" Annie asked looking at Carmella who placed the money down, "Same as yesterday"

"Costa Rica?" Annie asked as the three sighed, "Bugs" Ruby said as Carmella nodded

"We cannot run. We have families" Beth sighed standing up, "Right. China"

"Earthquakes"

"That's your big issue with China?" Annie asked looking at Ruby confused, "You have a better problem with China?"

"Language barrier, human rights violations, communistic rule-"

"We're staying here and we are facing this" Beth said cutting her off

"Air pollution, swine flu-"

"They dont have Indian food. I need to go someplace where they have Indian food"

"India?" Carmella said confused, "God, no" Ruby shook her head

"Who keeps IM'ing you?" Beth asked looking at Annie, "Oh, i put Hans up on eBay"

"Who's Hans?" Ruby asked confused

"The little drummer boy i stole from Boomer's granny" Annie said pulling it from her pocket

"Annie, that is an heirloom"

"Who is she gonna pass it down to? Alba? Or her only one-quarter Mexican grandchild?" Carmella asked looking at her

"Holy mother" Annie gasped

"What?"

"Hans is up to eight Gs!" she said showing the three her laptop

"Shut the front door"

"What?"

"No way"

"Did you take anything else?"

"He's so fine" Carmella whispered to Annie, she was staring at Rio, him and his besties came over for the money today

"You're short" Rio said walking over to the four after the money they gave him was counted

"No, we're not"

"Yeah, you are"

"Actually, we're over" Annie said pulling out the box of things she stole from Boomer's grandma

"See, these are super rare collectibles"

"Treasures" Beth added

"Sister, you are correct. That's a better word for these, because these are super rare treasures go for ten to fifteen Gs on eBay. How much legwork is there, right? But the truth is, it's very little. Because we have done the lions share of the work for you. Ruby?"

"These are the usernames and passwords for out eBay accounts"

"There's only three" one of them said skimming over the paper, the three girls turned to Carmella

"What! I get 60$ off my next purchase" she smiled as Rio smirked a little, Ruby getting back on topic

"And there's auction tips to maximize your profits"

"You want me to sell your dolls?"

"Ill be your doll" Carmella accidently blurted before coughing

"Mella, tell him about Hans"

"Oh the little drummer boy?" Carmella asked holding the door, Rio put his hand out as she gave it to him

"Hans here is one of twelve in the ent-" but Annie was cut off as Rio threw the doll on the table smashing it

"This some kind of joke to you?" Rio asked looking between the four, "I'm done playing with you guys" Rio said turning and walking away

The two guys began to go around knocking stuff over and breaking things

"What are they doing?"

"Making it look like a home invasion"

"So they can kill us" Carmella said leaning back in her chair

"Please dont do this!"

"Wait. Please, wait! We can get you the money! I swear!" Annie cried as one of the boys was putting a silencer on the gun

"We have families. We have kids!"

"Please!"

Annie, Ruby and Beth cried holding onto one another as the dude put the gun to Carmella's head

"At least ill die hot"
