Dangerous Fever 2
By the time I get back at the Olympian hotel, in Lincoln Park I wait outside the doors. You could imagine what my mother was going to say. I was defeated for the first fucking time in my life.
My dreams are now infected. And by a beautiful whore, which makes it worse.
My men enter the building greeting Craterus at the front desk. He asks us what happened as we came dragging our spent bodies in and after seeing my bloody suit.
"Shit." I say. "Just shit."
He accepts that answer and goes back to his secure position.
My men and I enter the silver elevators and we remain quiet until we reach the top floor of the building. I don't know why but we always had simple crappy music playing. Elevator music I guess you can call it.
We step out and right down the hall was my mother's room. We stand outside her door and I sigh quietly. I turn the knob.
We enter empty handed.
Tolem let's Olympias know that we are here.
We await her out in the main area. I walk back and forth like a lion.
She steps out with a black towel around her. She just got done taking a shower. She smells of lavender. Snakes tattoos all over her body and one long one printed around her leg.
She loved that animal. She represented that animal.
I speak first. "Mother, we failed today. One of Phillips new male assistants escaped with both the drugs and the money." I tell her like it is.
"How did this come to be?" she wasnt mad. Calm was more the word. She combed through her dark brown hair smiling up at us making us uncomfortable. Something she was good at.
"Well mother, I'm not going to lie to you. I was distracted." I admitted.
"How come?" She looked at me with a smile so dangerous.
"The new male assistant is really good."
"Oh my dear boy, your wounded. Who did this?" She realized the blood soaking through my suit. She came to me, kissed me on the mouth and cradled me like a child. She ran her fingers over the wound. I tell her it's nothing.
Cassy and Tolem try not to laugh and Perdicas and Leon take a seat on the couch.
They all know what's going to happen next.
I don't want you to get the wrong impression of my mother. But she has been obsessed with me my whole life.
She just decided to take it to another level.
"Let me take care of that wound." Her voice so pure but so frightening. That was her way of saying "Let me send you my strength."
I always wanted to make my mother happy. So I couldn't really tell her how far she was going with her obsession. But as any obedient son I walk into her room with her followed behind.
She closes the door. Surely by now you know what's happening.
It is three a.m. And I hear someone walk in the door. Cleitus wakes Phillip up and me mistakenly in the process. He tells him he has a visitor downstairs in the lobby. Phillip gives me the option to stay or go and I chose to go. We get dressed in suits. Phillips favorite always being his red one. We have to look professional. We make our way downstairs. We meet Parmen, Phil's father and best friend to Phillip. Also our drug lord. Dressed in grey. He had a white greyish beard. He wore a hat but I assumed he was either balding or his hair matched his face.
They greet each other as old friends and go to a couch and talk more business.
I decide I'm hungry and dismiss myself. Me and Phillip were up probably a good while having sex. I was really hungry. I come back with a bagel and blueberry cream cheese and Parmen looks at me awkwardly.
I thought he wanted a bite of my bagel. I was kidding. He hated me.
"Sorry Parmen, this is Phai. My assistant." Phillip finally introduced us. Parmen just nodded looking displeased.
"Are you sleeping with him?" he asks Phillip directly. I couldn't be angry. I was sleeping with him.
"This is not the time." Phillip replies.
I offer the old man a bite of my bagel and he looks at me even more displeased and sickened at my behavior. Phillip begins to compliment me to his friend about over a hundred times.
Listed all my great qualities and skills.
Parmen, finally looked impressed. But still sickened.
"How old are you boy?"
"Twenty-three." I say each word clear accusing him of having Alzheimer's disease.
I laugh. The man is offended. Phillip sends me off somewhere saying that he would call me if he needed me.
I leave my mothers room. I seem distant. I nodded towards my men and we head out. We prepared everything. We have new weapons, new suits, new cellphones, which we really didn't need at all because our old ones worked just fine.
We are silent going down the elevators. It's taking forever. I keep time of the seconds that go by. When things take longer it gives people the opportunity to ask questions.
"Are you okay?" Tolem asks. I nod.
"Well we are here for you mentally If you need the support." Cassy reassures. I nod again and push the button hoping for the elevator to hurry the hell up.
We finally came to a stop. I get back on track and into the business world. Me thinking of my mother would have to wait until I screw up again.
We finally leave the elevator. It's exactly four thirty A.M when we exit the hotel. We each have our own car parked in valet. We each have the same car. A black Ferrari Enzo. It needs no definition other than completely sexy, very fast and super friendly.
We drive off. My father's hotel is exactly 20 minutes from our hotel. We get there at four fifty nine am.
Thank god for our nerd and geek Tolem for we had no idea both companies were this close. Maybe someday we need to take a walk with an oversized bazooka and blast eachother to hell. Super efficent.
They didn't have anyone half as smart as Tolem on there team. They didn't even know where we were hiding out. I bragged.
We can't enter the front. So we enter through the top. We have our spy suits. Our spy climbing clips. Our grappling hooks. And my fake silent pistol. I accidentally just brought that along. I have my handguns though. I tossed the pistol aside.
And oh yes. We have it. We make it to the top with a big long gun case. What's in it, is all we need.
We enter the door of the top roof. Tolem has a laptop with him that gives us all information on which floor my father is and which room.
This building is forty stories high, seven hundred eighteen feet. He is on floor thirty eight. The lobby is on floor one. It is five eighteen am. The moon is disappearing. The sun will be shortly arriving.
I was tired. I was sick of hearing Parmen and Phillip laughing about nothing and I went back up stairs. Phillip, Cleitus and Philotas come back, all entering Phillips room discussing more and more boring business.
This early in the morning?
Are you serious?
Couldn't they do this downstairs?
I'm trying to sleep.
I get out of bed. I can't sleep. And walk into the main room. I realize they left the door open. It wasn't smart to talk about such important things and leave the door open, even if this was his own private hotel. Again it can be very dangerous.
I go to close it. I fondled the door knob and I see two men in black spy suits staring straight at me down the end of the hall. I stare back for awhile. I was tired so you could imagine my slowly processing brain.
Then I see the blonde man. He steps out from a hallway. He's looking gorgeous as always in a white suit, slick back blonde hair and dark sunglasses on.
I didn't know I was going to see him so soon. I smirk evilly and step out the door not letting the men inside know. I shut it quietly. I take out the handgun I took from Mr. Blondy and wave it.
Yes, I sleep with a weapon. His weapon.
"Phai we meet again." His voice was chilling.
I don't respond. Sometimes I am lost for words. No matter how crafty I am.
I realize my priorities.
"As precious as this reunion is, I must kill you. You see there's this man in that room who believes you are dead. How rude of you to show up here uninvited. You should be ashamed of yourself."
He glares at me. I believe I just got struck by lightning.
"I'm quaking." I say to him.
He shook his head and then started to laugh at my sarcastic response. He snapped his fingers. I see Leon and Perdicas come out of nowhere wearing blue suits, with two large gun cases.
Man, his men were always looking nice.
I don't even want to know what's in the cases. It looks alot like body bags. They take out two shoulder-fire rocket launchers.
Ha, I think they're blushing. Sadly they weren't.
"This is my mission for you. Are you shivering now bitch?" Mr. Alex said, lifted his hand and Leon and Perdicas shot them off directly at me.
The blonde man looks amazing, loading that pistol of his and running towards me following the two powered rockets.
You know there is something wrong. I have two rockets coming at me and all I can think about is how lovely this enemy of mine is. You could imagine what type of damage two rockets can do to one simple human being.
He shoots at me with his gun. I duck and run towards him. The rockets blast through the door passing over my head. He slides on his knees shooting for below. I dodge the bullets.
The hallway is seventy feet long. We run more. The sound of the rockets exploding is hazardous behind me. I hope Phillip and his men are okay. We are now sixteen feet from eachother.
I cart wheel over him snatching the gun away and from his hands. I' m proud. I didn't even know I could do a cartwheel.
He's speedy for a man in a suit I have to say.
He pulls out another gun. He's prepared this time. But we don't shoot. It's a draw. I have my gun to his head. He has his gun to mine.
"I got your letter." He says.
"Did you? How did you like it?"
"It could have been better. How'd you like mine."
I shrug. "About the same."
"You're a lying piece of shit."
"As are you."
"Who fires first?"
"I will."
"Either way we both go."
Shoot, I forgot about his four men, again lost in the man before me. The blonde is smiling successfully. It was time for me to give up. Cassy snatches my gun aggressively. And smiles a little smile.
Cleitus is okay. Philotas is okay. Phillip is okay. They look completely stunned. They look out the giant whole in the side of the room.
Alex and his gang brought me into the destroyed room. Half the side of the building was blown out. It was a good view. The sunrise was beautiful.
Anyway Police were sure to come this time. They hand cuffed me. Leon and Perdicas have weapons aimed at Phillip and his men now. Phillip sees his son and looks like he just seen a ghost.
I'm screwed.
"Hello Father."
"Son." He answers but he is angry.
"You took something from me. It was disrespectful. Unprofessional and very un manlike. It hurt my feelings." He looks at me smiling. "Anyway I deserve an apology."
"Did your skank of a mother put you to this?" Phillip was outraged.
"Uuhhhhh….no not this time."
Lmfao in my head I lied. My mother did put me up to it even though I was planning on claiming my prizes anyway. She wanted to meet the bastard who stole the stuff. She wanted to meet the messenger who tricked my stupid ass. She would finally get the opportunity now that I have him.
"I'm taking the money, drugs and your pretty assistant."
My father is pissed. His eyes would kill me right now if it could. I'm sure he would get his revenge. But some other day. I didn't have the time or patience to mess with him. He didn't have the time or patience to mess with me. He had his hotel room to worry about though. Good thing for insurance.
Atleast I'm keeping him alive. Asshole wanted me dead. Jerk.
We leave my father and his men behind. They are still speechless. Bitches never saw it coming. The police would have to deal with them for now.
"I finally caught up with you. It only took me five hours." I told the brunette as we dragged him down the hall.
The pretty messenger looks at me and my men annoyed but leaves with us willingly.
Dangerous eyes meet the horizon.
