Maiko left us with emotions storming from side to side. She was still looking at us with fear, waiting for me to kill her, but also with a kind of adoration for me... This adoration in her gaze appeared during the meal.
Naturally Judy noticed it, as well as the signs of attention that, even though she was afraid of our company and my reaction, Maiko began to give me. She undid a couple of buttons on her blouse and sat down in a more feminine pose, and tried to flap her eyes a couple of times... but I wasn't interested. And now leaving us she was also feeling resentment and irritation.
After all, in her understanding she is gorgeous and irresistible, occupying a good place, was ignored!
- Well... did we achieve our goals?
That was the question I asked Judy as the door closed behind her acquaintance.
- Yes...warned...and destroyed. And not just by your cooking, but by your ignoring her hints....
- Well, it wasn't hard to do... I have more than enough female attention, and the girls who give it to me are much nicer to me both externally and mentally and spiritually.
- Ha, how he sings like a nightingale!
- Becca, he says that about you and me too....
Lucy looked at her friend judgementally.
- Let him take responsibility and fuck us already!
Becca pouted unhappily.
- Becca...
Panam shook her head.
- ...It doesn't work like that. You can't just say fuck me and immediately get a boyfriend.
- Can't you?
I looked at Panam in surprise.
- And I was about to start taking off my trousers.....
Their eyes crossed on me.
- Really?!
Becca immediately reached for her pants she was wearing.
- Sure...but since Panam said it doesn't work like that.....
I shook my head.
- ...and I trust Panam. So it doesn't work that way...
Naturally, everyone realised I was just joking, as their grins indicated, but even after realising that, Becca couldn't just stop.
- It's working!
- Freeze!
Panam put her fist on Becca's head and twisted it a few times causing the girl to squeal in pain.
- I got it! I got it! You can't be so cheeky! I'll sneak into his bed and that's it!
Panam sighed.
- At least that's it...
- Really?
I looked at Panam in surprise, and the others too. And she just shrugged her shoulders at that. She looked like there was nothing contradictory in what she was saying.
- I don't suppose any of us doubt that Becca and Lucy will end up in David's bed?
- Well.
- No... they will be there... although I doubt it'll be within the next week.....
- Well, I don't doubt it either...
Panam shrugged her shoulders and looked at the girls who hadn't been in my bed yet.
- ...but I want to maintain some decorum. And I don't want to hear about you planning to fuck my boyfriend. And I don't want to watch it, either.
- Okay...
Lucy nodded seriously.
- 'Okay...done with this topic, what are we going to do now, eh Judy?
- What about me?
- Well...you know Parker and her planning capabilities, you know Maiko...which one of them is going to outplay who and should we get involved?
- Nah...
Judy shook her head.
- ...we're not going to get involved. Although I'll send out an e-mail to the dolls I know so they'll be out of the clouds for a couple of days.
- Well...
I shrugged.
- ...It's up to you.
- Whatever about them...I did the best I could. More is really zeroing in on all the extras and becoming Queen of the Clouds myself. Except it means tying yourself to this town. And even for the near future, you had fancy plans to fly to the moon...''
Judy shook her head and then the phone rang.
- It's you, Bestia.
- David, they found DeShawn.
- Π?
- With a hole in his head.
- I'm not surprised.
- It wasn't you, was it?
- Does it look like it?
- Well... not at all... you wouldn't drag it to the dump, you'd zero it where you found it.
- Dumpster?
- Yeah, we found it by accident. I still can't figure out what he was doing there.
- Well, I can guess.
- I'm listening to you very carefully.
- Vee... the day I went to see Victor and he operated on her, she and that ex-jacket stank. Most likely Vee was taken to the dump after they put a bullet in her head, and afterwards, the jacket went to DeShawn and demanded the name of the perpetrator....
- Hmm... and when he found out that the perpetrator had been shot in the head, he decided to see for himself. At the junkyard, Vee miraculously survived, and DeShawn, no longer of interest, was simply zeroed out.
- Exactly.
- It's a bit of a stretch, but for lack of other information...
We've been quiet for a while.
- Don't you want to know what I found for your friend?
- No, it's none of my business. Honestly, I'm already too much involved in all this...
I shook my head.
- I'm not going to dive any deeper.
- Good... although it's a shame...
- Hmm?
- Well, if you had him... you wouldn't have just done that and you'd be handing me a lot of useful and not so useful information right now. And now...
- Okay, over and out.
- Over and out.
The link went dead and I shook my head with a sigh.
- Is something wrong?
- DeShawn ran out... found it in a dumpster.
- Hmm?
The girls all looked at me in surprise and I recounted to them my thoughts on how this could have even happened. And they had to agree that my version had a right to exist....
*** 24 hours later. ***
We got to the Aldecaldo clan car park early in the morning and spent the day working. Ranershi on cracking wood chips, me on working with the tech I had managed to get on order from Bestia and Regina's people....
But all good things come to an end.
And our good time came to an end when a very expensive car came to the clan's car park, from which a Chinese-Japanese man, familiar to me, got out. I was just resting in the fresh air so I could watch everything that was going on and saw him with his head held up proudly towards the nearest clan representative.
A few words...
With that contemptuous look on his face and then he changes his face. It goes from contemptuous to displeased and he says something again. And again his face changes quickly...
Sandy!
The world froze for me, but I realised that it was shortsighted to show all my capabilities in this situation, so I slowly reduced my acceleration. And I only started to move when this frame started to move in my perception.
It would have been foolish to move in its direction, as it also demonstrated my capabilities, so instead I grabbed my dagger and threw it towards it.
I threw it so that when he flew up he hit it with the handle and not with the point, but the second one I threw so that its point flew exactly past the nose of this frame leaving a thin cut on it....
I'm shutting down Sandy right now.
- Hey.
How the daggers fulfilled their function a second before I started talking and this jacket didn't have time to attack my clan member.
- ...What do you want here, jacket?
- You...
He turned towards me and with his right thumb he wiped a drop of blood from the bridge of his nose.
- ...my mistress wants to talk to you.
- I don't really give a shit about that....
I shrugged.
- I don't deal with corporations.
- I think you might want to change your perspective....
- Why would I?
- We can pay.
- Yeah, yeah...
I nodded, showing him that I believed him. And I really believed him, they could pay, but I wasn't gonna get involved in corporate shit.
- I believe you can. Except I don't work for corporations.
- And yet you helped Vee, and she needs your help again.
- I did.
I nodded again.
- ...but she's not corporate, even though she was. And my help was... not that significant. I just helped her stay alive, and then she has to work on her own.
- But she needs--
- Jacket, I already told V, she's on her own from here. I'm not getting involved in a corporate or inter-corporate fight.
- You sure about that? Working for us could be very lucrative.
- Yeah, very lucrative.
I nodded my head.
- Profitability was especially good on Vee when it was kicked out and on you... you epitomised that word EXPENSIVE.
- We can have a different conversation, can't we...
- Here...
I nodded my head.
- ...typical of the corporate world. Anything not according to your way, immediately threats, though not formalised yet, so hints... but I think it's not far to threats, so maybe you'll attack at once? Let's skip the pointless chatter.
- I've been ordered to bring you back alive and unharmed to talk to you.
- Well...
I shook my head.
- ...you're not going to be able to fulfil that.
- You do realise that your fellow clansmen could have accidents.....
I shook my head.
- You know, even the top of the corporation could have accidents.
- Are you threatening Lady Hanako?!
- Only if your words about trouble for my clan can be considered a threat...''
That frame clenched his fists until his knuckles crunched but remained silent, only his gaze became heavy-heavy.
- So, should I take those words as a threat?
- N-no...
- Well, in that case, you shouldn't take my words as a threat either.
I shrugged.
- You can just turn around and leave, because I'm not going to talk to your mistress. I'm not going to work for her. Nor, for that matter, am I going to work against her.
- Are you sure of your choice, mercenary?
- I am.
- Good.
He turned on the spot and walked towards his car.
I knew perfectly well that he didn't like that answer, just as I knew that his mistress, who is probably a spoilt girl unused to rejection, wouldn't like it. But I wasn't going with that jacket either.
- Tony...
I looked at the sentinel who'd met this bloke and could've taken a beating from him if it hadn't been for me.
- Yeah?
- You okay?
- I'm all right, but if it wasn't for you.
- Good to be in one piece... we should go to Saul... to talk and prevent any possible problems.....
I sighed and headed off to Saul's....
