"Damien!" Eric squealed with glee running over to his friend, clearly drunk.
Damien laughed, "Hey E. What's up?"
"So bored! Serena's still gone and my mom's on a date and I'm bored!"
"So you decided to get drunk?"
"Yep" Eric smirked, "Serena does it. Why can't I?"
Damien frowned. He hated when Eric compared himself to Serena. He wasn't Serena. He was a million times better.
"Okay Eric. Let's get you sobered up. I've got a bunch of deliveries to make at a party tonight and I sure as hell can't leave you alone like that." Damien moaned
Eric looked up quickly. "Take me with you!"
Damien frowned. "I don't know Eric. It'll be pretty intense. I'm not sure if I want you there."
Eric snorted, "What are you? My father? I'll be fine!"
"I don't want anything happening to you Eric!" Damien protested.
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!" Eric begged.
"No E! You'll get hurt!" Damien was annoyed and in a hurry. Eric was drunk and was clearly showing he was in no condition to join him.
Eric snickered, "Oh is it because you love me?"
"No its just because..."
"Oh Eric! I have something I want to tell you..." Eric mocked
"Fine!" Damien yelled, interrupting the fourteen-year-old, "Come if you want but don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Ambassador Dalgarrd, so pleased to meet you. I'm Chuck Bass, owner of this hotel." "Wonderful to meet you. I've heard many wonderful things. May I introduce my son Damien."
Damien was tuning out his fathers usual pleasantries He had heard them so many times. And he played the part of a good son, but in reality he couldn't care less. He looked over Chuck once though. This was Chuck Bass. Eric's first step-brother. He found it strange that someone like Chuck could be even slightly related to Eric. Eric had two personalities sweet and innocent or scheming and manipulative, although his minuteness was hardly ever displayed.
Then Damien remembered the careful plans he and Eric had thought up. "Do you think there is anyone who could show me around the city. I've always wanted to see it, but I think I'd get lost if I tried to navigate it myself."
Damien's father gave him a strange look and Damien really couldn't blame him. Damien never really was one for the sights. But he'd be damned if his father screwed this up for him. "Of course." Chuck replied. Damien his a grin. It looked like little Eric was smarter than he gave him credit for.
"I'll have one of our concertizes take you around town." Damien froze. That was not going to work at all.
Damien quickly spoke up. "I wouldn't want to inconvenience them. Is there anyone, I don't know younger who could show me around?"
"I guess I have a younger brother who I'm sure would love to show you around. His name's Eric. Would that work?" Chuck answered sounding a tad uncertain.
Damien smiled. "That would be perfect." He opened his phone and sent a text to Eric. All was going according to plan.
Damien walked into the Van der Woodsen penthouse trying to pretend that he had never seen it for Chuck's benefit. Damien had to pretend he had no idea where they were going and pretend to admire the apartment when Damien knew the penthouse by heart. Chuck left him to go talk to Lily for a minute and Damien waited impatiently. He wanted to get this little task for Eric done as quickly as possible.
Chuck came back with an annoyed look on his face, "I'm sorry. It turns out my little brother seems to be out, but my sixteen year old step-sister is more than willingly to show you around. This is Jenny Humphrey" Chuck pointed to a very pretty blond with a lot of eyeliner. Damien studied his victim. He could see why Eric was threatened by her. She had an air of power about her. It almost matched Eric's when Eric was at his best.
Jenny strode over to where Damien was standing, a small smile on her darkly painted lips. "Hi, I'm Jenny. You must be Damien."
Damien smiled, this girl was good. "Hello, Jenny. I'm Damien."
Jenny flashed a flirty smile. "I guess I'm your tour guide for the day."
Damien smiled back, "I guess you're right."
So Damien let this Brooklyn nobody led him around the city, and he pretended he didn't know where anything was. He was surprised to find out however that some of Jenny's stories actually interested him. Like the whole monarchy thing, he never got it, but Jenny explained it in a way he could understand. He quickly snapped out of it though. This wasn't about Jenny. This was about getting Eric what he wanted, so Damien could get Eric back.
So Damien brought the drugs out and showed Jenny the drug trade. And just as Eric predicted, Jenny was amazed. That girl had a thirst for adventure and Damien was glad. All the easier to crush her with.
