Chapter 49: Shameless Garrick.
At Westbrook meanwhile, the red carpet had not been rolled out for Garrick Voss.
Hades, that had developed a habit of carrying a gun and a knife on his person ever since he came into possession of the knowledge of the apocalypse. Like the other men, he pulled out his gun and turned it on Garrick Voss.
"Hey....hey...I am not here for trouble." Garrick said nervously, scared out of his mind. He had just survived a tsunami, only to end up in some kind of gang territory! He had no idea what to make of his surroundings. "I have money."
The men did not respond and most of them looked at Hades.
Garrick was an idiot but his observation and survival skills were high. He guessed that from all the attention Hades was getting, he was the boss. His eyes popped when he recognized the man in charge. "Hades Quinn!" He laughed and relaxed, sighing immediately in cathartic relief. Today was not the day he would die.
"Is this your place?" he asked. "Gosh, I was scared out of my mind for a second because I thought I was in the jungle in some gang land. I am Garrick Voss, the son of Jake Voss. You do business with my father."
The gun in Hades’s hand cocked.
Garrick was just taking his first step forward and he jumped back. "Woah! dude, take it easy. I just had a really rough day and you are giving me crazy heart palpitations with that gun in your hand. I was on an island and a tsunami just came in and f-ing killed everyone. I am lucky because I ordered some coke for the party so I was not at the beach. The dealers were taking in the product when the first wave hit so I just got into the helicopter and flew out of there." He laughed. "I guess my old man was onto something when he forced me to take flying lessons."
Hades’s finger squeezed around the trigger. Sunshine placed her hand over the gun and shook her head.
