Richie kissed his girlfriend's neck as the music changed and more people joined the dance floor. "I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere," he whispered in her ear as he squeezed her waist against him and adjusted his jeans before he stepped away from her to head to the bathroom. @Dragon

"Pretty sure you were going to murder your brother," she said to him. @Dragon

Richie didn't notice that Kae had shown up with friends. He was focused on his girlfriend who had her back pressed against his check and her ass pressed against his hips as she ground against him. For the moment just lost in the music and his woman pressed against him ignoring everything else for the moment. @Dragon

Richie eventually cancelled the apartment contract when she didn't show up for two weeks figuring she had taken off and it wasn't worth the time to go chasing her. If she wanted to live on the streets he couldn't fight that battle forever. He couldn't force her to trust his generosity. Not that he blamed her in a way but it shut him down and he was grouchy than normal. It was nearly a fight with his girlfriend to get him to get out of the house and into the club. She wanted to cheer him up and he was brooding which wasn't super odd for him but he didn't figure how he felt mattered. N

"How are you actually doing right now though?" @Dragon

Alice smiled to him as she went to go give him a kiss. "I guess I'm your punisher," she said to him with a smirk. @Dragon

Richie left the blood on the floor and grabbed a beer to go sit in his living room. It was like he never got to do anything good for anyone so he wondered by he even tried. At this point in his life he just figured it would be easy to stop caring. He glanced over his shoulder toward the door and shook his head. "Fuck it," he muttered to himself as he settled onto the couch ignoring his girlfriend when she got to his apartment and immediately started complaining about the blood on the ground and nitpicking his choice in people he hung out with. Eventually he went to his room and locke

"You can limp your ass down to your apartment," he said. "I'm sorry, that is if you still want free fucking handouts," he said shaking his head. He turned to walk to his fridge. @Dragon

Richie came back about a minute later with a pair of his girlfriends sweats in his hand setting them on the table. "Fine. Go back to Anoco," he said to her as he used the card to get the cuffs off of her. "I'm sure she asks you what you need and cares if you end up in jail or dead," he threw the sweats at her. @Dragon

"If you'll remember correctly, I did tell you that if you needed anything to just fucking ask," Richie snapped at her shoving his chair back and moving away from her. "I didn't assume anything but the fact that you needed a place to stay and food," he stalked down the hall as if he was leaving the conversation. @Dragon

"It is pretty fucking sexy," she smirked to him. @Dragon

"Then don't be a fucking idiot and ask for help," he said grabbing her leg back to look to see if it was a graze or if the bullet was still in there. "I know its nearly impossible for you but I am actually trying to help you despite the shit I'm getting in because of it." @Dragon

"Good thing I help you get your cardio in," she smirked to him. @Dragon

"An extra day is just going to make it stiff again," she said. @Dragon

Richie narrowed his eyes at her. "An after school job doesn't require anything but an ID unless you're suddenly 14," he said to her. "Which tells me you haven't even tried," pulling her leg back as he finally doused it in alcohol. @Dragon

Alice hadn't wanted to but the kid that was being booked with Richie's name on her apartment she rolled her eyes. "I'm going to Harlan," Alice said to Seth before she limped off to her bike to head further in town. It was a longer drive but it was gentler. Once she was patched up and sent home with advil.... fucking advil, she took an automated cab home and went to take a shower before she crawled into bed expecting her husband wouldn't be home for hours. After his trip to his brother's place he would have to go back on duty and she wasn't able to join him. She eventually fell a

"Have you even tried?" he asked her being gentle for the moment as he cleaned around the wound getting ready to clean it with alcohol. @Dragon

"Yet you don't have to live under them anymore except that you want to. Seems more like you like to live under them." @Dragon

Richie sat down in front of her and pulled out the knife that he kept in the kit and cut her jeans open so he could get a better look at her wound. “Pretty sure that if we run the town we make the rules,” he said to her. @Dragon

“Like I work my fucking ass off for unappreciative brats,” he said as he moved to get up and grab the first aid kit. @Dragon

“I don’t have to,” he pointed out. @Dragon

“Why were you there?” He asked as he moved to sit down after slipping the card into his pocket. @Dragon

I hid walked into the dining room. “So?” He said simply as if that would somehow get her to talk. @Dragon

"They'll be in my office," he agreed as he took the card. "I'll talk to her. I don't want her there any more than you do I promise. I just want to get her on her feet. Properly," he said as he reached up to grip his brothers shoulder. "Don't forget to call me," he said as his eyes went to the droplets of blood on the tile. @Dragon

Richie took a second before he looked at his brother and nodded. "Fuck man. Call me later," he said to him. "Thanks for bringing her to me. I'll take care of the rest." @Dragon
