Bᴀʀsᴛᴏᴡ, Cᴀʟɪғᴏʀɴɪᴀ

Ever since we landed in California we have been sitting damn near in the desert for about 45 minutes, watching cars smash and crash into one another.

I then moved up the bleachers a bit noticing a car was coming our way before the car crashed and ran through the barrier causing Brian and Bilkins to move back.

"This is wild!" I said with a laugh

"That's your boy in the Monte Carlo?" Bilkins asked

"Yea that's him..." Brian replied causing Bilkins to simply nod his head

"...Yeah, he's got some skills. And he's crazy as hell, I'm telling you" Brian said smiling

Bilkins and I then looked at him with a curious gaze as he said "In a good way though, he's the man for the job"

Bilkins then pulled out a tablet and said "Your mans got quite a record, even 3 years upstate. It says he's on house arrest now and can't go more than 100 yards away from his home."

Just as Bilkins said that Roman hit the side of another car causing it to flip over and him to be announced winner.

"Roman Pearce...oouu hoo!" The announcer cheered

Roman was smiling lowły looking at other people in the crowd cheering before looking toward Brian and sending a menacing look, beginning to walk faster off the sandy arena.

All of us got up following close behind Roman as Brian yelled trying to get his attention, "Pearce. Roman Pearce!"

As he kept walking Brian turned to us and said "Whatever happens next, just let it happen, I mean it Diana."

"Whatever" I muttered

Bilkins just threw his arms up defensively before saying, "I ain't in it"

Brian then whistled, yelling once again, "Rome!"

That time he finally turned around causing them to look  at each other with hard glares momentarily Rome then bellowed "Only my homeboys call me Rome, pig!"

"Well it looks like his helping hand isn't gonna be too much help." I said lowly to Bilkins causing him to laugh

"I'm not a cop anymore, bro" Brian said

Roman then started walking towards us and asked Bilkins "Is that true, blondie here's not a cop anymore?"

"That's true. No badge." Bilkins said with a smile as Roman got closer to us

Bilkins pulled me back a little by the arm as Roman looked over to the side for a couple of seconds before turning punching Brian in the face as hard as he could.

"Whew!" Bilkins yelled out instigating the situation.

Not stopping the fight as he pledged he went over to an empty seat eating his popcorn and watching the show.

Brian did nothing but regain his stance and get in fighting position as Roman threw another punch that he ducked under.

Slinging Rome to the ground they began wrestling causing me to look down at them shaking my head.

Brian wrapped his legs around his ribs to restrain him and Roman punched him in the face again.

I laughed lowly and then walked over to Bilkins and said "Can I get some of that popcorn please?"

He leaned the bag over and I grabbed a bit while watching these two fight. Brian then retried the same leg restraint again on Roman he'd slipped out of before beginning to taunt him.

"You still fight like shit! You still fight like shit!" Brian teased

He then punched Brian in the side and I looked over at Bilkins and said "Two grown-ass 13-year-olds"

He laughed again as Roman yelled to him "What the hell are you doing here, O'Connor?... I told you to stay away from me!"

Roman then punched him in the face again causing Brian to put him in a chokehold holding Roman steady behind him.

Roman then yelled "You should've told me! I did 3 years Brian!"

Roman punched him in the back and Brian yelled "I told you it wasn't my fault!"

Letting Roman out of the hold, he shoved Brian down causing him to lay there as Roman collapsed out of breath.

"Why'd you come here, O'Connor?"

"I have a deal for you" Brian replied leaning up from the sandy ground

"When I needed your ass, you weren't nowhere to be found...Now you tryna hand out deals!" Roman said angrily

They both then rose to their feet shoving each other as Brian said "I need you to come to Miami and drive with me, if you do they'll take off that anklet and clear your entire record"

"I did 3 years in jail over you, Brian, I know you better than you think you do"

"Maybe you don't!" Brian rebutted

They walked over and Billkins said, "You guys finished?"

"Is this deal legit?" Roman said ignoring Bilkins' sarcastic question

"That's right, you do this job for us" Bilkins answered

"Told you!" Brian said

"Shut up punk!" Roman yelled

I rolled my eyes and he said "So your gonna clear my record and get this thing off my ankle?"

"That's right. I thought you couldn't wander more than 100 yards away from your home?" Bilkins asked

"Why you think I'm parked so close to the derby?" Roman retorted lowly while walking up the few steps to a white RV

"Man quick-playing like your gonna pass this up," Brian said smiling

"Stupid ass" Roman mumbled

A/N: Anddd that is Roman Pearce for you ladies and gents🤣
