Double Trouble

DT ch. 4

 ~ Chapter 4 ~

“Please put everything away and put on your seat belts. We are preparing to land in 3 minutes,” The stewardess said through the intercom.

Lexi and Tori slowly woke up and rubbed the sleep off their eyes. “That was quick,” Tori said.

Lexi looked out the window, “Wow...look how pretty it is outside. It looks so warm and sunny.”

Tori leaned over her sister, trying to get a better view through her window, “It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to get out there!”

The plane jolted; they were landing. The plane smoothly reached the ground and rolled its way to the airport gates. “Welcome to California!” the attendee exclaimed.

“O...MY...GOODNESS!” Lexi screamed looking at her new condo, “Tom’s the best! I can’t believe he did this! This place is amazing!”

Tori stood at the doorway with wide eyes, looking around in awe. The condo had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (the twins don’t have to share!), a kitchen, a living room, a study, and a dining room. The first thing you see when you enter the place is a huge window that overlooked the crystal blue ocean below. Lexi ran to the one of the bedrooms and threw her luggage on the bed before exploring her new home. Tori went into the living room and found a note on a coffee table. 

Lexi and Tori,

I hope you like your new home. In the study, underneath each desk there’s a hand gun and the fireplace in there is fake. You can open it by pressing a button that’s underneath a photo frame lying on the mantle. Inside you’ll find everything you need for this mission. Stay safe, girls. Love you lots.

Sincerely,

Tom

P.S. Your cars are in the garage.

“Thanks Tom,” Tori said to the note. She made her way to the study, thinking about the secret room hidden behind the fireplace. When she got there, the fireplace was already open with Lexi searching the contents inside. The room was the size of a small bathroom and the walls were all made of steel. Weapons hung on every wall, making the room full with various machines. “How did you know there was a secret room?” Tori asked.

“There’s always a secret room,” she responded holding 3 different pistols, admiring them. “Tom really got us the new and latest guns.”

“And blades,” Tori said running her fingers along a rack of 5 different knives.

Lexi turned towards her sister with a big smile, “What do you think about having a little practice?”

****************************************************************************************************

Tori and Lexi were waiting in a dark alleyway in a rundown part of town. They stood there watching different people walk by. Lexi was dressed in dark blue jeggings (jean leggings!) with a black bomber jacket over a tight shirt. She wore high top sneakers that were black with pink streaks all over. Tori had on a pair of denim short shorts and a loose fitting cropped white tee. There was a bulky belt laced through her short’s belt loops. On her feet, were a pair of brown ankle boots. Stuffed into each of the girls’ pants was a small gun. Lexi had a blade inside her jacket pocket and Tori had one hidden in her boots. Both of them had their hair tied up in a high ponytail.

Three men walked by the alleyway, but one of them, with brown hair, stopped mid-step and turned toward the twins, “Hey there ladies,” he slurred, obviously drunk. 

The other two guys stopped walking and turned towards them. “Look! who do we have here?” said another drunk man with fire red hair.

“Hey, how’s it going?,” bald, drunk man number three said.

“I think we’re lost,” Lexi said playing the innocent damsel in distress.

“Well, I think we know just where to take you two babes,” the man with red hair said grabbing Tori’s wrist. She thrust her foot into the back of the man’s leg, causing him to fall on the floor. He groaned still holding onto Tori’s wrist. Twisting around her arm, so he was at a joint lock, the man finally let go. He was about to get up when Tori placed his head between her hands and shoved it to her knee making him fall face flat onto the floor without another sound. “WAY too easy,” she said looking at his still body.

The bald man, looking mad, charged at Lexi slamming her back against the brick wall.  She grunted and bent down sliding between his legs so she was out of his grasp. The drunk man looked at the wall confused. Lexi tapped his shoulder, “Over here baldie.”

He whipped his head around and was about to grab her, but she jumped forward, legs first, wrapping them around his neck. She rolled onto the ground while twisting and dragging the man who's head was now locked between her legs. He started choking from lack of oxygen as Lexi only tightened her grip around his neck. He stopped struggling as he turned blue and his eyes rolled in the back of his head. Lexi finally let go and stood up wiping the dirt off of her pants.

She turned toward her sister who was standing still watching what looked like a brawl between three men. She recognized one man as the guy with brown hair, but there were two others who ganged up on him and were punching his face. One had blonde medium length hair with jade green eyes. The other had long tousled brown hair and bluish gray eyes. They kept They kept pounding their fists into the now scared and hurt man.

“Uh hum” Tori cleared her throat gaining their attention.

The both stopped and dropped the motionless man on the floor before looking up at them. They both furrowed their brows looking back and forth between the two. 

“We’re twins,” Lexi clarified, “umm thanks for helping us with that guy, but we really didn’t need it. We have everything under control.” Tori nudged her elbow into Lexi’s side, “What?”

“They were just trying to help, give them a break,” Tori said.

Lexi took a deep breath and turned back to the two men, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound so rude.”

“It’s ok. We were just helping out two beautiful young ladies. We didn’t have the heart to walk away from the sight of you ladies getting trampled on by those men,” the guy with brown hair replied looking at Tori. She blushed slightly and turned her head to the side. This is no time for love! Lexi thought.

“So are you two new here?” the blonde one asked.

“How do you know we’re new?” Lexi asked.

“I know everyone in this city,” he proclaimed.

“Really now?”

“Yup,” he replied popping the "p".

“It’s getting late,” Tori interrupted and walked away, towards her Lambo.

Lexi started jogging to the car, “See you guys!” she called back to them. She was got into the passenger seat and was about to buckle her seat belt when a hand knocked on her window. She turned and saw the two men standing there. Lexi rolled down her window, “May I help you?”

“We never got your names,” The guy with brown hair said.

“It’s Marissa,” Tori said smoothly, making a fake name. Whenever she went on a mission, she always had a different name, that way no one could find out who she really was. 

“And I’m Selena,” Lexi replied, “What are yours?”

“Logan.”

“Alex.”
