Frank had an apartment on the other side of the city, away from the bunker. It was just in case shit went sour or he needed a place away from people. He couldn't remember the last time he'd even stepped foot in the apartment because his life was basically the bunker that David had called home. Just like clockwork, Frank paid the rent each month on the first. In cash and only in cash. The landlord was seedy at best and hadn't bothered to even get a name out of Frank. For that, he was completely thankful. It was a safe haven that Frank hoped to never have to use but it was there in case the need arose.
Shit. He couldn't remember the last time a job had gone this wrong, that quickly. Frank didn't have time to think about that, instead focused on taking down the men in front of him and before the last man even hit the ground, Frank was rushing for his car. He slid into the driver's door and sped off, already beginning to slip in and out of consciousness by the time he pulled up to his apartment. Normally he wouldn't be so careless and park in front of the building but Frank knew he wasn't in a good state. If he didn't get up to the apartment and start fixing himself soon, he was fucked.
Frank actually started to come to, his mental state far better than it had been even an hour ago. He let out a soft groan, blinking against the blinding light. Or what he called blinding, anyway. Squinting up at the ceiling, Frank turned his head just enough to spot an unfamiliar coffee table. Fuck. His adams apple slid down his throat in a single gulp before Juliette spoke and Frank swore, his heart dropped so ffar that it was likely beneath his feet.
"Your apartment?" Frank grunted, his brows pulling together as he turned to get a better look of the apartment around him. Nothing really looked familiar, his place was bare bones. It wasn't warm and welcoming, but simply a place for Frank to lay his head down if necessary. His head snapped toward Juliette when she mentioned the police, shaking his head swiftly. "No, no. No, don't call the cops. I swear to you, I thought I was in my apartment, you know. I wasn't in the best state, you know. And-and I..." Frank scoffed, shaking his head slowly. "I'm sorry about the couch, ma'am. I'll replace it," Frank muttered, gripping the edge of the cushion and the back of the couch, slowly pushing himself up into a sitting position. "I'm sorry for the uh, trouble that I caused, you know. It won't... it won't happen again. Thank you, though. For being so accommodatin' but I'll be gettin' out of your hair now."
