Lev and Hunny climbed out of the limousine after Uneru pulled up in front of the Club. Lev stretched, "Aurgh! Can I take these heels off real quick?" His feet were already sore.
"No!" Hunny replied, "The ground is nasty!" She scowled at him.
Lev chuckled at that.
"Inside, ladies," Butch instructed Hunny and Lev. He was using the "ladies" part more of as an insult directed to
Lev.
"I suggest you bite that tongue of yours, if you know what's good for you." Uneru lightly warned the Italian man as Hunny and Lev went inside. He had his arms crossed along with his ankles, leaning up against his limousine door. "Neo might be around the corner. Wouldn't want to get caught, now would you?" Uneru smirked a bit and went inside the club.
Butch turned in the direction of the club's front doors, astounded that the younger male stood up to him. "Whip that smirk off your face, faggot." He tried to insult before going inside.
Uneru ignored him on the way through the red carpet showcase room. He made sure to keep a safe distance from Lev and Hunny.
Lev and Hunny had already taken their seats on the couch by the bar. They sat close to one another, as they always did.
The club was unusually quiet. There was no music playing. It wouldn't start until 10:00AM, so Lev, Hunny, and Uneru had a little bit of time to stay.
A man in a dark blue suit and black tie was standing near Lev and Hunny as if he were some sort of secret Agent. It was hard to tell if he was Russian or German. This man seemed high class to be in a place like the Favela Territory.
"Uneru, yes?" The man asked in a thick German accent, "Roban?"
Uneru stopped an nodded, "Yes..." He walked over to the couch Lev and Hunny were sitting and stood near them. He was a little skeptical when he was addressed by his real name.
"Uneru is just the name we call him." Butch chuckled as if he were telling a joke. He wanted to poke more at Uneru for standing up to him.
Nobody laughed. Uneru looked up at Butch, glaring a little. "My name." He turned in immature man's direction, "Is Uneru."
"I am Lukas Meyer." The man introduced himself. "Mr. Grayson has asked me to take notes on what each can do." He looks at Butch, "Mr. Grayson asks his guests to manage their temporary living space." He pulled a small notebook an ink pin from his breast pocket. He clicks the tip of his pin and he looked down at his notebook.
"Hold on," Uneru began. "What exactly do you mean by that?" He was quite confused.
It wasn't a surprise that Butch had already knew the details, but hadn't told Lev, Hunny, and Uneru anything. Butch usually wasn't so good at his job.
Butch seemed to sweat. "I figured you would tell them..." He lowered his head. He didn't want to meet the man's eyes, due to the man's very intimidating demeanor.
"I suppose I have to..." The man lets out a scoff. He would have to let Butch's boss know about this. "Mr. Grayson has selected 9 individuals from three Territories and intends on housing each of them in his care. Levvin, Hunny Dew, and Uneru are three of those 9. I am to take you to the Trinity Territory where you are to meet Felix Grayson, himself."
"Who?" Lev asked, a bit confused. He'd never heard of the name before.
Hunny looked to Lev for some support. She wasn't sure if it was safe to go. "My mom's Aunt used to live in the Trinity Territory. Those people are filthy rich!"
"And if your Aunt lived there, how are you here now?" Uneru stupidly asked arrogantly.
"Shut up, blondie." Lev snapped, "That's one hell of a dumb question. Hunny was born here."
Uneru glared at Lev, itching to insult him.
"I must make you aware," Lukas Meyer began, his accent growing thicker. "Mr. Grayson has established a set of rules for the three of you and the others." He paused before continuing. Making sure Lev, Hunny, and Uneru were listening. "1: Each quest must compromise with another to help around the house and take care of it as if it were they're own. 2: You are to wake up and go to bed at you're scheduled time. That goes for three meals a day. Lastly... If you are caught destroying property or fighting one another, you will be pulled out and taken to Mr. Grayson's "special rooms"."
Lev, Hunny, and Uneru exchanged one another looks. Drastically feeling uncomfortable able the "special rooms" part.
"Special rooms?" Hunny asked, a bit puzzled. "What do you mean by "special rooms?" She reached out to hold onto Lev's sleeve, anxiety growing. Lev moved his left arm a little to place his hand over her hand and comfort her.
The man looked down at her, "Mr. Grayson will explain that after we arrive at his estate... Now, what can you do, my dear?" Lukas Meyer quickly changed the subject as if they didn't have much time. He looked down at Hunny again, tapping the tip of his pin against his small notebook.
Hunny became nervous and didn't know what to say. She quickly looked in the other direction, then back at the man as if she needed help with a hard answer on an exam. "Um..." She moved her finger up to her bottom lip, thinking about what she was good at. "I-I'm good at dancing, baking, cleaning, taking care of animals, sewing, treating wounds... um... does singing count?"
Lukas chuckled, amused by her question. "Of course it does!" He scratched down in his small notebook Hunny's talents before looking back up at her. "Anything else?"
"Oh!" She began, "Doing hair!"
"Ah, yes!" Lukas smiled, "Having a hairdresser around the house would be nice." He stepped over to Lev. "And what can you do um..." Now getting a better look at Lev, he was unsure about Lev's gender. He looked at him up and down.
Lev grinned deviously, knowing exactly what the man was doing. "I don't suck dick for free, but I can give you simply one hell of a night." He winks at the man.
Hunny covered her mouth, trying to hold in her laugh. This made Lev smile bigger. Uneru lowered his head to facepalm, embarrassed by his client's actions.
Lukas became furious and stood up straight, "You dare insult one of the city's most powerful man's assistant executives?"
Lev sat back, crossing his left knee over his right. He crossed his arms, "Yes." He simply answered.
Uneru turned his head in disappointment, wanting to slap Lev for saying that.
The man sucked in a huge chunk of air, controlling his anger. It wasn't worth taking his anger out on the effeminate male. "Would you please answer the question correctly?"
"Well, let's see here," Lev began, thinking. "Dancing, cooking, cleaning, baking, building, taking care of animals, but I have allergies and I'm allergic to cat and dog hair--"
Uneru cut in, "Then why do you have a cat?"
"Go fuck yourself," Lev replied without looking at him. "Sewing, but only certain stuff, lifting, caring stuff, moving stuff around if anyone needs help with certain stuff like that. I guess that's it."
Uneru was dying to punch Lev in the throat. He wondered why Lev was starting to have fun with this.
The man wrote Lev's information down before moving on to Uneru.
"I can drive, lift, carry stuff, and move things around."
"Great! A driver!"
After Uneru was finished listing out what he could do to help around the "house", the man went to the side to talk with Butch. Uneru sat down next to Lev, mumbling things. He glances at Lev with his hands twitching. "Next time you say something, I will personally punch you out."
"Ohhh," Levvin mockingly moaned, "Try me, da--" He stopped after feeling Hunny's hand on his arm. He looked at her.
"Lev..." He shook her head, "Don't." She didn't want to find out what Uneru would do.
Once Lukas Meyer was finished consulting with Butch, he walked back over to the three. "It seems we are done here. It would be best if the three of you would return to your homes and pack some things. After all, you will be staying miles away from you're usual territory."
Uneru was first to stand. "I know the location of where these two live. They stay in the same place. However, where I live is a little ways from Harrisburg Park Ave."
"Let us be on our way," Lukas replies, "Mr. Grayson wants us within territory lines by 12:00PM."
Levvin and Hunny followed Uneru out of the club with Lukas and Butch silently followed behind them. A few men in the red carpet showcase room glanced at them, though others stared at Levvin and Hunny for a different reason.
Uneru quickly opened the back door of the limousine for Levvin, Hunny, and the German man. After the three climbed inside and took their seats, he slammed the door closed. Butch's eyes burned into the side of Uneru's head as he came out of the club and went over to him. Uneru, intentionally ignoring him, opened the driver's door and quickly got in.
Butch pushed the door closed, nearly catching the Uneru's foot. "Listen here, punk." He poked a large finger at Uneru's chest. "I got my eye on you. Any funny business with Neopolitan's favorite and you're going down. Got it?"
Uneru scoffed and rolled his eyes as he put his key into the ignition. "Whatever, fruit cake." He started up the engine and gave him the side eye. "Get off my door."
Butch took his finger from the smaller male's chest and backed away. He dreaded the thought of not having the chance of getting Uneru fired. Uneru rolled up his window, looking straight before driving away from the club.
It took nearly ten minutes to drive to the car park. Lukas Meyer's limousine had followed Uneru there. Uneru had to put up his limousine before he, Levvin and Hunny could climb into Lukas'. Levvin, Hunny, and Lukas stood to the side while Uneru pulled the limo into it's usual garage.
Uneru pulled his keys out of the ignition and climbed out of the vehicle. He slammed the door closed and made sure to lock each door. As he jingled the keys in his hands, he walked outside to the garage's keypad to put in the code to lock everything up. Uneru turned to the three behind him as he took off his black hat, clearly hyped he's getting to finally the the turf. "Let's get this show on the road."
"How long will it take to get from here to Trinity Territory?" Hunny asked Lukas as she climbed into the back of his limousine. She was sat closer to Lev because Uneru was sat on the right side of her. Lev was the only person she trusted to sit that close to.
"Nearly six hours, but if we pick up the pace we can arrive at the line in just two." He said, "Right before the clock strikes twelve."
"Grayson must have great drivers." Hunny says.
"Trinity is the home of the city's fastest drivers." The man replied.
"Hey, maybe you could apply." Lev jokingly suggests to Uneru. "Your a crazy driver, you'd be out for the job, blondie."
Uneru turned his head, chuckling a bit. He was ready to deck Lev in the jaw more than ever.
Once they arrived at Hunny and Lev's apartment buildings, Lev and Hunny quickly climbed out of the Cadillac Stretch Limousine. Uneru was the last to climb out, but before he did, he stopped the man from getting up.
"You might want to wait in here for us." He warned, "This isn't the place for business men."
The man straightened his tie before nodding. "Thank you."
Uneru nodded and climbed out to watch his client's backs.
"You seem quiet, Lev." Hunny pointed out.
"Because we're leaving the territory and it's my first time!" Lev replied.
"Our first time!"
Lev smiled, "Yeah."
"Your two go and get you're things," Uneru says, "I'll wait out here in case anybody tries to mess with this brand spankin' new 1990's Cadillac Brougham Stretch Limousine."
Lev looked over his shoulder at the blonde dummy. "You didn't have to say the whole damn brand name."
Uneru crossed his arms, "Yeah, well, I'm proud to be riding in it. It looks hell of a lot better than mine." He says with a side grin.
Lev and Hunny quickly hurried up stairs to the second floor. Their apartment doors were right next to each other so they didn't have to walk that far down the hallway. Thankfully the hallway was deserted. Nobody would mess with them before their departure. Levvin took his keys from his pocket and inserted one of them into the door's deadbolt. Hunny was quicker to get into her apartment.
After going inside, he closed the door behind him with his left foot. Aolly ran into the room, meowing at him. Levvin smiled down at his cat and bent down to pick him up. Aolly snuggled against Levvin as he walked around his bed. He went to his wardrobe and reached out a hand to grab the handle, but didn't move afterwards. He froze.
Just last night, Levvin had tried to escape his life with his friends and as a result he was punished. Truly, he didn't want the life he was born into and never had the chance to live however he wanted. Levvin gripped the handle.
Though, he felt he couldn't blame anyone but one person. Not his mother, not the father he never knew, it was Neopolitan. Levvin gripped the handle tighter, almost feeling like would break it off. Today, he was given the chance to leave. A chance from a man he had no idea existed. How was this even happening? Had an angel been looking after him all this time? What exactly is Levvin getting pulled into? Levvin could only hope it wasn't another life of living hell.
It only took the two Levvin and Hunny a few minutes to pack their things. They came back outside with a few bags over their shoulders.
"That was quick." Uneru pointed out. He sat in the limousine seat with his legs hanging out the door.
"We barely got anything, blondie." Lev replied, descending from the stairs with Hunny behind him.
"Would you like to know what's on my pay check every month?" Uneru smirked, mockingly.
"Would you like to know what it's like to have my foot up your ass?" Lev raised an eyebrow, placing a hand on his lip.
Uneru was going to respond, but heard a noise from one of Lev's bags. He stared at Levvin before opening his mouth. "Lev."
Lev stayed silent, looking the other way. He didn't have to say what was inside his bag and he definitely wanted to avoid telling Uneru anything.
Uneru continued to stare at him. His expression changed to his usual "I'm going to kill you" look. Actually having to carry a heavily injured Levvin to his apartment a month ago, he knew exactly what the sound he heard was.
"Lev..." Hunny said lowly, frowning. Even she knew exactly what Lev had hiding in one of his bags. She felt bad for Lev, but she also knew nobody was going to allow them to have pets in the "house".
Lev continued to stay silent and kept looking the other way. He crossed his arms.
"Lev!" Uneru yelled.
"WHAT!" Lev snapped as he snapped his head in Uneru's direction. Clearly agitated by him calling his name in a way he never wanted to hear.
"PUT THE FUCKING CAT BACK!" Uneru shouted at him.
"FUCK YOU!" Lev shouted back, "I'M NOT LEAVING AOLLY TO BE DEVOURED BY SOME HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPO!"
"Lev!" Hunny didn't approve of Lev's language. She scowled and moved closer to him to reach out to the bag Aolly was in.
Lukas Meyers rolled his eyes before reminding them. "Oh please! We simply do not have time for this! We must to get going!"
Uneru groaned, thinking they were definitely going to get into trouble. All what they could do now was try to hide the feline from other guests. Uneru further into the limousine to give room for his friends to climb in with their things. He glared at Lev next to him, wishing he could flick him his forehead. Though, he knew if he did that, he would cause Levvin to slightly panic. Even though he wanted to fight Levvin sometimes, it generally wasn't a good idea. "My place is on Stationary Heights. On the hill at the east side of the city." Uneru said, tearing his eyes from Levvin to Lukas.
Lukas just smiled a bit as he reached his hand up to knock on the small sliding door that was next to his head.
"Lovely place he's got." Levvin said, smiling a bit.
Uneru became nervous and jittery. "We don't talk about that." He put his hat on and lowered his head. The night Levvin had brought up had became a bad night for both of them. He was only helping out a friend because Levvin had been slandered by a client. Nobody knew about Uneru letting one of his own clients crash at his place, thankfully.
