Pretending Can Be Fun

i found the money! but i had to hide the body …

My blackberry buzzed intensely as I was watching my favorite show. Usually I would ignore them while my show was on, but this text caught my interest. It was from an unknown number. A friend of mine playing a joke, no doubt. I decided to play along.

dude, no way! how much $$ and where??!!

It didn’t take long to buzz back.

15! he was suspecting us, i had to do somethin.

only 15 grand? that’s cheap. how’d you knock him out?

15 MIL, bro. i had a gun on me. you know i don’t go those kind of places alone.

damn! that’s a shit load of money! we split 50/50, of course. but a gun, dude?! you better hide that!

of course, bro. you know we homies for life. fuck bitches! ha! i threw it in the lake on my way to a motel. want me to pick you up?

Was I going to too far with this little charade? If this was one of my friends, he wasn’t showing any sign that he was joking.

i can’t give you my address! I thought for a second. meet me @ Charlies. 5 mins
