Drillmington: This Adventure

When the gunman runs down on you, it’s best to just give up the values that can be replaced. Julisia started doing that until the assailant heard TSL’s gun cock.

“I don’t think you’ll be robbing anyone today. Or ever.”

A rush of police vehicles surrounded the three of them.

The man, stunned, then tried to flee but an officer slammed him on the hood of the squad car.

The lights of the police cars danced around TSL and Julisia. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they walked to the Goulding in tactical mode.

“We escaped another scene which could’ve been much worse,” Julisia observed.

“We’re building. We’re on a path of creativeness. That’s what is so important for us to remember,” Julisia acknowledged.

“The money is coming in, we’ve got the house, the cars, and most important, the .orgs,” TSL reminded her.

“Those are all values and achievements that we've been able to attain together.”

“Yes, and we must extend that to include snitching and knowing why we’re snitching,” Julisia volleyed back.

The trip home was sedate. They didn’t say anything else together because they were on one accord. They had an understanding of each other that was unmistakable. They knew that together they could help fight crime and climb up the charts at the same time.

At the kitchen table they ate cold truffle and caviar pizza. They looked at each other with severe admiration. Their steely gazes became something akin to viciousness. Their kinship for each other permitted no pity, shame, or guilt.

Instead they looked at each other as earned king and queen. Their crowns had been forged in their efforts and their comprehension of what tomorrow may bring.

“Our strategy remains the same. We’re gangbusters 2.0. We know how to hit up the awful scum of this city and state,” Julisia said. She chewed. She also opened a bottle of red wine. TSL poured the glass for her first. He sipped slowly and took another bite of the earthy, salty pizza.

“If we’re going to do this, we must visualize what it is we are to do. We must take into full account our abilities. As my womanager, you’re going to have to schedule a nationwide tour then a world tour to support this new playlist.”

“I’ve already booked a private jet, saw layouts of the arenas you will play, and also extended our snitch organizations all over the country and globally, too,” Julisia said.

TSL looked at her with pride. It was a clean and uninhibited pride. It made him seem like a proud lion looking at his lioness knowing she would be able to lead a pride with him.

“If you want to take seriously as I know you are, this entire arrangement, I have full confidence in you,” TSL said it. His eyes glistened in the dim light. The brownness became a touchstone for the work he had been doing. He exhibited with a single glance.

Julisia returned that glance. Her blue gray eyes seemed to resonate even more. There seemed to be both a calmness and a raging storm behind those sky blue eyes.

“I’m ready for this adventure. I’m ready to take on any foe or obstacle that may cross us. I’m about to make us both billionaires and see to it that we don’t have to pay taxes, or have regulations or controls governing how we use our funds. The .orgs are our strongest outfit. They give us the chance to show we’re really about that life.”

“If anything we should celebrate thst fact right there,” TSL replied.
