[10] Franks Dead

When we got home that night we were all a little upset in our own way about seeing Frank there, even I was my mind was changing and I wanted to protect Carl and Debby as long as I could from stuff like this. We all sat in the living room giving ideas to Carl which he gladly accepted, "How about you come with me to boxing too, I can bring a friend along with my membership so you can take out your frustration there."

This got everyone's attention because they knew I boxed but not about this, but it wasn't really me paying for a membership but that the owner paid protection fees and well I was a friend. Carl nodded along eagerly, he could join Ian for Karate but he wouldn't be actually able to do anything there but practice skills no one for him to beat on.

After we all settled that I went outside, waiting was..... you guessed it Savannah she had a backpack on so no doubt she was planning to stay for the night. "Well seeing as the parent teacher meeting is over, here I am." she said walking up the steps.

"Why do we never stay at your place when you are just going to complain about mine in some way the next morning?" I ask not going inside yet, yes we were sleeping together but this wasn't a relationship I wasn't going to end up like Lip who was obsessed with Karen.

"I don't know." she shrugged.

"Well then go home for the night then, we need a night apart anyway this is feeling to close to a relationship and I really don't need that." I said shaking my head, we were acting like a couple but weren't one and that is exactly what Karen did to Lip, no thank you.

She looked at me for a moment before nodding and walking away, this just made me think more about sleeping with that teacher I also wanted to sleep with Svetlana but remembering her job I didn't. Honestly she was the first girl I was going to go after but since I knew that she was actually married and was nothing but a lady of the night at the moment I was against it.

Maybe she could be a quickie, later after a STD test. Before I could go back inside someone showed up at the door it was was Tire, "Hey man Lip in there?" he asked putting on a friendly smile.

I knew he was here to get Lip for the whole S.A.T thing but I wanted to see Carl break his leg so why stop him, "Yeah sure he is inside." Following me in I watched him chase Lip up the stairs, looking over at Carl I handed him the bat, "Go get'em."

Carl gave a feral smile and ran upstairs, it was quite a moment before someone shouted out, Tire for sure, I pulled out my phone and called an ambulance for the kid. When they got here we just explained how he tried to chase Lip up the stairs he didn't say anything against it cause he knew that we would let Carl have a swing at his other leg.

After that I got high and went to bed. The Very Next Day....

Like every morning I woke up and actually got high before staring my day it was Friday so it was a half day this week, when I looked up Lip was already gone for the day. Going into the kitchen the kids were already there Liam eating dry cereal again, Fiona walked in with a whole lot of bread from her bakery job last night.

After awhile her and Steve started fighting over her staying with him at a hotel for the night, ignoring them I got a call from some unknown number, "Who is this?"

"Hey man it's me," Lips voice came through, "Meat truck abandoned, well more or less, anyway Kev is on his way meet us at XXXXX"

"Got it be there in a second." I got my jacket and started to make my way there on the way I actually called Savannah to bring her brothers telling her, it was turning into a neighborhood thing anyway. After awhile Fiona and them showed up too and we all started to take the meet off, I put some to the side for Savannah and her family glaring at the people who wanted to take it.

"Ahh look who cares!" I heard her voice say a little too sweetly from my side.

"Yeah well why don't I sell it then? I could get some serious money for this." I said with a smirk not letting her brothers take it.

She raised a brow glaring at me a little, "Are you giving it to me or not?"

"Haven't I already done that?" I chuckled.

She growled and glared at me but since I didn't move she couldn't take it from me, seeing as my family were getting ready to leave I moved out of the way letting them get it. "See you later creepy girl." I went straight over to the back of Kev's truck and made sure the meat wasn't going to fall out.

The whole time we were taking off I could feel her stare on my back but I didn't turn back to see her glaring at me again, the ride wasn't long and we all started moving everything inside. I stayed out back and cleaned off a board for us to start cutting off the meat so we could store it, a really bad thing was the toilets weren't working at the moment.

That was something I needed to work on, Debby and Fiona were girls and they couldn't go to Kev and V's every time they needed the bathroom and it would start to smell here soon. After awhile Steve came back from where ever he went, turns out he took Liam to Shelia's so that he could take her out for the night.

"You can handle yourself for the night, right Malcolm?" he asked me trying to give me his next door boy smile.

"Why not, I am going to work on this plumbing so that we can use the toilets again so it's not like I know if you will be here or not." I said with a shrug.

"Excellent, let's go find out from the others then." Steve looked excited while Fiona looked like she would rather die then do this, though I thought it was a good idea for her.

After coming back in the talked more before he took off again, I ignored it and went back to cutting up the meat that I was working on at the moment. After awhile I realized that Fiona was talking and the others were just walking inside, we looked in the living room and saw Fiona going through a whole bunch of mail.

Ahh that is the mail that is in their name that Frank set up, laughing I walked over and saw the damage done by the old man, they had thousands in debt it would be a miracle if they could get out of it. Haha he got a porn subscription in Debby's name, that is super weird seeing as she is only elven years old how does that even work.

"I didn't know drug dealers take credit cards." Lip said looking over a bill.

"How did he charge it?" I asked curious not like he could really say that he sold Frank any major drugs without going to jail for that.

"Looks like he put it down for goods and services. That makes sense though not wanting people to know what he sales and all." Lip laughed a little.

Fiona though was pissed but paused a moment, "Wait Malcolm, how is there not any for your name?"

They all looked at me and saw me smiling, "Simple you all keep you social security and important papers together. Mine is locked away from him, he can't do this if he can't get to the things he needs for it. He probably put yours back before you knew what was happening." I explained with a shrug.

They nodded seeing as it was true, last year was when I took all of mine from Fiona and put it away he only got it when she needed to sign me up for something or tax reasons. After that they all moved theirs putting it somewhere else, this way Frank couldn't do it again since he was a drunk and alcoholic so it wasn't like he could remember theirs.

"Hey Lip get to cooking on that food while I go and start on these toilets, I don't want to shit in the tub." I said walking upstairs with my tools he shouted his approval, Ian was at work so it was just Debby, Carl, Him, and me here at the moment.

I got started on that and it was bad I knew a little about plumbing this is why I was working on it, but at this moment I knew it was going to cost some money out of pocket. Sighing I remembered the eighty I got from Savannah the other day it was my wh*re money from here, laughing to myself I went to get it done.

When I made it downstairs the food was done but they weren't eating instead they were moving around quickly, "What is going on?" I asked setting my tools down, Lip was in a rush so he didn't answer.

"We are going to help Frank fake his death." Debby says with a wide smile like it was completely normal thing for that to happen.

"What do you need me to do?" I ask actually excited to do it.

"Well V is on drugs, Lip and Kev are getting the coffin, while Carl is getting the flowers, So you can help me set everything else up." She said with a smile.

"When is this taking place?"

"Tomorrow, we are just going to get everything ready for it tonight."

"alright Chef Debby what can I do for you?" I asked with a smile moving over to the stove with her.

The next five hours passed like a blur before we had everything ready, I smoked a bowl and went to sleep after to be ready for the next day. When I got up I put on my suit and used a black dress shirt, the collectors would be here in the morning so I needed to be ready.

Ian wasn't home but everyone else was getting ready for it all, Lip and Kev found a coffin last night and hid it in the back until this morning then they moved it. Surprisingly or not Debby made breakfast, which was way better than mine or Fiona's the girl really had a future if she went into cooking.

After eating we started to set everything up Debby gave Frank the suit for him to wear in and he went upstairs to get ready, while we were still getting ready Fiona, Steve and Liam walked in. I explained everything to her real quick and she got to work on everything, Steve looked happy but then again he never really liked Frank.

Two hours later we were standing around the coffin faking our sadness, the door opened and the two guys walked in, I had to stop myself from laughing when one started to fight Franks 'Dead' Body. After grabbing him off the other made a call to their boss.

"Yeah there is nothing here worth taking... We can take the little girl, but she is not much of a looker," I put an arm around Debby pulling her close I knew they wouldn't take her but still, "Alright..... Do you want any proof toes or fingers?... Alright boss said he keeps his extremities. We are here until he is in the ground."

Carl snuck off to smash the window while we all quickly went outside and got the old rotten meat from outside, it reeked and I felt like I would need to boil my clothes after. When we got it all inside we took the coffin out so that we could drive it to be buried, it was a 'sad' service before we all took off to the Alibi.

The 'Wake' wasn't too long just Kev talking before those guys finally left and we got ready to party, the music was blared and I was actually going to drink tonight. Me and Lip were hanging out tonight since for once he wasn't with Karen a full day, we both started taking shots and partying together laughing at the stupid Sh*t Frank was doing.
