Neil was laying wide awake next to a sleeping Andrew in their king size bed, their two cats curled together at the edge of the bed.
The slightest noise of locks jiggling made Neil froze. Their bedroom door was locked thankfully, due to both of their paranoia, Neil desperately hoped it was just a trick of his brain due to exhaustion. The lightest footsteps echoed outside and Neil whispered Andrew’s name.
“Andrew,”
“Someone is in the apartment,” Neil said as quiet as he could as he slide off their bed. Wordlessly, Andrew got his knives. A hundred million thoughts raced through both of their minds. Is it Nathan’s goons? Has the FBI forgotten some lankys and now they are here for revenge? How many people is outside right now?
Old habits die hard and Andrew tried to stay in front of Neil, but Neil was quicker and he opened the door just the slightest and looked out. A black silhouette of a bulky man was going through their things, as though trying to find something. Neil waited, there seemed to just be one person in their apartment, but he could not see their door so their was still the possibility of someone outside. If he fired the gun, it would alert everyone in the neighbourhood but if they use knives instead then what if there were too many people outside? Or should they make a run for it and climb out of their bedroom window?
Andrew was getting impatient and was trying to get past Neil and see if anything was happening. Neil, not wanting Andrew to get involved in anymore crimes, shot the man in the head without hesitation. The gunshot was too loud in the dead silence of the night. Neil held his breath as he waited for the man’s companions. No one burst in.
After two minutes, Neil cracked open the door more and they finally went out. Their apartment’s door was picked open by someone skillful and prepared. Andrew immediately went out to look for other threats while Neil went towards the dead body. The dead body fazed neither of them. Neil kneed down and flipped the body around so he could examine the face. It was not anyone he recognised, someone in their late thirties just slightly older than them. The black duffel bag next to him was filled with Andrew and Neil’s wallet that they left on the counter in the kitchen.
“Do you recognise him?” Andrew asked. Neil shook his head.
“I think it is just a normal robbery,” Neil said hesitatedly, he hoped it was just someone dumb enough to break into their apartments and not anyone that was after Neil. Neil passed Andrew their wallets and stood up. Both of them let the relief sink in, then they stared at the body unsure of what to do with it.
“Do we hide it?” Neil asked uncertainly, he was taken back by the normalcy of being robbed that he forgotten every single protocol he had ever been drilled in by his mother.
Andrew too, seemed stunned by the turn of events and stood unsure, staring at the dead body.
“Call the police?” Andrew suggested dubiously, both only trusting the police as far as they could throw them.
“Wymack,” Neil said at last. If anyone would know what to do it would be him. They checked the time, it was 3am but it would be around 5am in wymack’s time zone so Neil called him and put him on speaker.
“This better be important,” wymack grumbled as he picked up at second ring.
“Someone broke into our apartment-“
“Are you guys okay?” Wymack interrupted, the gruffness was gone and concern filled it place. It filled Neil with a warmth that only the foxes could give him.
“Yes, and we killed him. Do we hide the body or call the police?”
“He is not any of your father’s men right?” Wymack asked warily.
“No one we recognise,”
“Call the police,” Wymack answered, “and remember you killed him in self defense,” he stressed the last part.
“Yes coach,” it spilled out of Neil’s mouth before he realised.
They called the police and explained the situation, there were a lot of commotion outside of their apartments before the police even arrived, probably due to the gunshot. It was to no one surprise that the FBI agent also came and pulled Neil aside.
“He wasn’t in our list of they people you gave us, do you recognise him?”
Neil shook his head. The FBI continued his questioning and after hours and with promises of Neil and Andrew going back to the station in a few hours. Their apartment was finally silent.
Neil slumped against Andrew, Andrew always the sturdy weight, put his arm around Neil holding him up as easy as always.
“Cant believe someone was dumb enough to break in,” Neil laughed, the absurdity of this was hysterical.
“He should have done enough research,” Andrew agreed.
“And he should have heard us coming out, amateur.”
“Should have use gas to make us alseep so there was no way we would wake up,” and their conversation turned into the best ways to rob an apartment as Neil made coffee for the both of them as Andrew fed the cats.
Later they called back Wymack and updated him before driving to the station.
