Chapter 7: A busy day.

Disclaimer: I do not own Saints Row.


Skylar, woke up the next morning, to find a slender but curvy body wrapped around his. Looking down, he saw none other than Shaundi, laying there with him. He smiled at this, savoring the moment. He looked at the clock and saw it was way to early (at least by his standards) to be awake, so he closed his eyes and pulled Shaundi closer to him. About an hour later, Shaundi woke up to feel two big strong arms wrapped around her. Looking up, she saw Skylar with his arms wrapped around her. She smiled at this. Sure, it may not have been what she wanted it to be. But it was fun to pretend they had a lustful night, full of love and passion culminating with a well deserved slumber. Despite it not happening much to her dismay, she pretended it did. She snuggled closer to him, feeling his warmth against her. Another hour later, Johnny woke up. At first, he didn't know where we was until he looked around and saw all the posters of rock/goth/metal bands both past and present, along with many horror movie posters hung on the walls. Yep, it was Skylar's room. Johnny kicked the huge purple quilt off and walked into the bathroom to use it. After doing so, he washed his hands and walked downstairs. He saw Pierce still laid out on the couch, snoring away. He shook his head and walked over to the coffee pot. He knew Skylar wouldn't mind, as long as he got a cup as well. The smell of brewing coffee filled the penthouse so much, that Pierce jumped up and looked into the kitchen.

"Aye man, pour me a cup of that." Pierce told Johnny.

"Jesus Pierce, you need to get that snoring in check or something." Johnny said as he got two cups out of a cabinet.

"I don't do it on purpose ya know." Pierce said as he got up, putting his hat on.

"Damn I need a shower." Pierce said while inspecting the suit that still had blood on it from the previous nights battle.

"You and me both man." Johnny told him as he handed him his cup.

"So what you trying to do. You gonna stay here or go back to Stilwater?" Pierce asked as he took a drink of the hot coffee.

"I dunno, I mean I'd love to stay but, I don't have a place to go to and I can't bum from the Bosses place." Johnny said as he looked into his cup of coffee.

"You know it wouldn't be a problem man. Boss would do anything for you." Pierce told him as he placed a hand on Johnny's shoulder.

"Yeah I guess." Johnny said in an unsure tone.

"Look I promise you man that as long as you're here, you'll always have a place to stay." Pierce said with a smile on his face.

"I know you and Boss might be the closest, but I like to think of you as my best friend too."

"Well thanks Pierce, you're my best friend too. Boss, you and Shaundi." The two men shared a loving but manly hug.

"Its good to have you back man." Pierce said to him.

"I missed you so much." Pierce told him.

"Alright alright, enough of this lovey-dovey shit man, I'm glad to be back too." Johnny said with a smile. Boss woke up still snuggled next to Shaundi. The smell in the air was wonderful, freshly brewed coffee he needed some of that. He gently removed himself from the bed, while Shaundi stirred but stayed asleep. He looked down at her. She was beautiful, even in sleeping form. Bending down he placed a quick kiss on her forehead and walked to the hallway. He saw Pierce and Johnny sitting at the table drinking coffee, talking about Pierce's commercials for Saints Flow.

"You expect me to believe that you had no strings, no special effects or anything like that in those commercials?" Johnny asked him in a tone of disbelief.

"I'm telling you man all that shit was me." Pierce told him.

"Pierce no offence but you're full of shit."

"Fuck off man." Pierce said as he took a drink of the coffee.

"Hey whoa, whoa why all the cursing guys?" Skylar asked them with a smile.

"Mornin' Boss." Pierce said to him.

"Mornin' to you too." Skylar said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Alright look, as much as I would like to sit here and debate whether or not Pierce's commercials are fake, I wanna talk about Killbane. I want that big fucking head of his on a trophy case." He calmly said as he took a drink of coffee.

"Well I can tell the Saints to keep an eye out on him." Pierce said.

"Good but not good enough." He said.

"We need Kinzie to hack all his shit. Now that Miller is gone, we have a good chance of finding his ass."

"Good idea, I'll hit her up." Pierce said to him.

"Who the fuck is Kinzie?" Johnny asked in a confused tone.

"She's this super smart techie chick that used to work for the FBI. Now, she works for us." Skylar informed him.

"Wait so you let a former FBI agent into the fuckin' Saints?" He asked him.

"How the fuck you know if this isn't a setup or something?" Johnny asked again.

"Trust me, if she wanted to turn us in she would've done it a long time ago." Skylar assured him.

"Besides, she's done a lot more illegal shit than us."

"I still don't trust it. I've said it before and I'll say it again- The people who "fight crime" are actually, the biggest criminals themselves." Johnny told them.

"Trust me man she's helped us tremendously." Skylar again assured him.

"I hate to break up this little trust fest but, Boss you got something I can wear? I need out of this damn suit." Pierce asked him.

"Yeah sure come upstairs with me. I might have something. Be right back Johnny. Make yourself some food or something."

"Alright cool." Johnny said as he got up looking in the fridge. Skylar and Pierce walked into his bedroom, to find his bed messy and unmade. Typical Johnny Gat.

"Ugh, fuck you Johnny." Skylar said as he made the bed up.

"Hey Boss, I need to talk to ya about something." Pierce said to him.

"Pierce, I'm not buying you more whores." Skylar said as he tucked in the corners of the blanket to the corners of the bed.

"No not about that." Pierce said as he chuckled.

"Johnny needs a place to stay." Pierce said to him.

"He can stay here." Skylar said.

"Besides, I owe him for when him and Aisha let me stay with them back in the day."

"You know he's not gonna do that." Pierce told him.

"He wants his own place. A place where he can provide his own shit not use anybody else's." Pierce said.

"I got it. He can stay in Shaundi's ex's place."

"Will her ex not mind? I mean, it is his place." Pierce asked.

"Pierce its Shaundi's ex, he's most likely baked out of mind in some foreign country. We won't be seeing him ever." Skylar said to him.

"Good point." Pierce admitted. Skylar pulled his phone out and pulled up Kinzies contact. Kinzie sat in her usually darkened warehouse, typing away at her laptop when she heard her phone ringing.

"Hey Boss." She said in a friendly tone.

"Hey Kinzie, I need a favor."

"Tell Pierce I'm not hacking into the strip club cameras again." Skylar laughed at that.

"Heh-heh, no I need you to have new furniture delivered to Shaundi's ex's place."

"Why?"

"Because, my friend Johnny needs a place to stay and I wanna really deck the place out for him.

"Your friend Johnny? Johnny Gat? I thought he was dead?"

"Yeah so did I, but turns out he's alive and needs a place to stay. so can you do this for me?"

"Fine, on one condition."

"Fuck, what is it this time Kinzie?"

"I wanna meet him."

"You wanna meet him?"

"Yeah I've heard all sorts of stories, he sounds like a great guy."

"Uh, yeah sure sounds good I guess we'll be over in a bit?" He asked.

"Great! See you then." She hung up and Skylar just stood there.

"Well, that was weird." Pierce said as he inspected the drawers.

"Oh well at least this favor, I can understand."

"Pick out something that fits, I'm going downstairs." Skylar said.

"Sounds good." Pierce said. Skylar, walked down the stairs to smell the familiar scent of sausage frying.

"Hey man, good news Kinzie wants to meet you." He told him.

"What?" Johnny said not bringing his attention away from the food.

"Kinzie wants to meet you."

"Sky, are you trying to set me up on a date?" Johnny asked this time now looking at Skylar in the eyes.

"Uh, no Johnny I am not." He said to him.

"Although she is kinky." Skylar said. Johnny, looked at him with a blank expression.

"Alright, alright, enough of that. Anyways why does she wanna meet me?" Johnny asked going back to the sausage.

"I dunno, just does I guess. I mentioned that you were alive and well and I guess she just wanted to meet you." Skylar, didn't wanna tell Johnny about the furniture he was gonna be buying for his new place.

"Alright I'll meet her, but I swear man I don't trust her." Johnny said getting the sausage from the frying pan.

"I'm telling you bro, she's cool." Skylar said getting one of the links and putting it in his mouth, before almost spitting it out due to it being so hot. Johnny was laughing as he saw this. Shaundi, woke up to find herself alone in the bed. She sighed and got up walking downstairs. She saw Johnny and Skylar in the kitchen. Skylar had Johnny in a headlock.

"So you wanna laugh at your Boss huh?"

"Fuck yeah I do." Johnny said trying to escape from the headlock.

"You two are just like children I swear." Shaundi said with a smile, getting a mug. Skylar let him go and walked over to her.

"How'd you sleep?" He asked her.

"I slept pretty great, that is until my main source of warmth left the bed." Shaundi said eyeing him down.

"Well maybe, that main source of warmth has a weakness for coffee." He told her with a smile.

"Anyways, I'm taking Johnny to meet Kinzie you wanna come with?" He asked her.

"Well I guess it beats sitting here ordering pay-per-view, without you knowing about it."

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing, yeah I'll go." She told him. After everyone ate their breakfast, they all got into the elevator.

"So, what can I expect from this Kinzie chick?" Johnny asked his friends.

"Zero sense." Skylar said. They reached the parking garage and looked around at the cars.

"Lets go with the Bulldog, I feel like looking like a douche today." Skylar said. They all got in, Shaundi called shotgun, leaving Pierce and Johnny in the back. The majority of the car ride was in silence. Pierce texted away to Kinzie about Killbane, asking her to hack all his stuff, and try to find a location on him. Pulling up to the warehouse, Skylar looked back at Johnny.

"Alright man look, she may seem weird at first but, she's cool." Skylar told him. They all walked in. Johnny looked around.

"Where the hell is all her furniture?" Johnny asked.

"She really has none." Pierce said. They finally made it to her, to find her in her usual sitting style, with her laptop.

"Hey guys!" She said in a cheery tone.

"Kinzie, this is Johnny." Skylar said to her.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Johnny said with a friendly smile, extending his hand.

"Likewise." Kinzie said with an even friendlier smile, taking his hand.

"I gotta say, your criminal record is impressive." She told him. Despite his want to brag, Johnny was confused as to why she looked at his records.

"Why would you look at my criminal records?" Johnny asked her.

"Don't take it personal, she did with all of us." Shaundi said.

"Its just to get to know you guys better." Kinzie said.

"Anyways, Pierce. I'm doing my best on tracking down Killbane. He's been able to stay off the radar, but that's never stopped me before." Kinzie said.

"Also Boss, I ordered the furniture for Johnny's new place but."

"Wait. New place?" Johnny asked.

"Dammit Kinzie, it was gonna be a surprise." He turned to Johnny.

"When we first came to Steeleport, Shaundi and I stayed a couple nights at her ex's place here. Its just been collecting dust here recently, so I decided to give you the place. Also, all his furniture reeked of weed and other things I don't care to mention, so I got Kinzie to order new furniture." He told Johnny.

"Wow man, I don't know what to say." Johnny said.

"How about "Yes Sky, I'd love to?" Skylar saying the same thing Johnny told him all those years ago.

"Yes Sky, I'd love to." The two men pulled each other into a handshake/hug.

"Touching. Anyways, the problem is the guys couldn't put the new furniture in the apartment without a key." Kinzie told them.

"So, its just piled in the hallway." Kinzie continued.

"Meaning, we gotta carry all of it up the stairs and through the small ass door frame?" Skylar said.

"Yep." Kinzie said.

"Son of a bitch." Skylar said.

"Well we better get busy, thanks Kinzie and let me know if anything comes up about Killbane." Skylar said.

"No problem- OH MY GOD WATCH YOUR STEP!" Kinize tried warning him, but to no avail. He tripped over a giant chair looking object.

"Ow fuck my ankle." Skylar said. Shaundi ran over and knelt down beside him.

"You OK?" she asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." The two had another staredown.

"Sorry Boss." Kinzie said also kneeling down beside him.

"Its fine. What the hell is this thing?" He asked her.

"Well, its just a prototype, but its a time machine. Still gotta work some of the kinks out though." Kinzie said.

"A time machine? You have a fucking time machine?" Skylar asked.

"A prototype of a time machine, but yes."

"How long have you had this?" Skylar asked her.

"Few months now. Drew up the blue prints about a year ago." She told him while looking at it.

"Hm." He looked at it as well, then looked at Johnny.

"Let me know when this is finished." Skylar told her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Just an idea." He said. With that, they all walked out of the warehouse. Getting in the car, they drove to Johnny's new place.

"Well, this is it." Skylar told him. They all got out of the car, and went inside to see new purple couches and chairs. Black Coffee tables, flat screen TV's, entertainment centers, video games with systems, even new dishes. Also in the piles of new things were, a new king sized bed, new comforters, sheets, pillows and pillow cases, all in purple. New dressers, all in black and even some new clothing.

"Damn, Kinzie went all out." Shaundi said.

"Wouldn't wanna see the bill for this." Pierce said.

"Let's get this over with." Skylar said as he removed his black shirt. They got started on moving the old furniture. It was easy enough, considering it was much smaller. Once Skylar and Johnny got the last couch out the door and into the dumpster, they debated on which thing to take up first.

"I vote we get started on the bedroom stuff, seems like it'd be hardest stuff to move. Better get the hard stuff out of the way first." Pierce told them. With that Skylar and Johnny grabbed each side of the dresser, with Pierce guiding them and Shaundi watching.

"OK, 1. 2. 3. LIFT. Skylar said. They lifted the heavy dresser, and was lugging it up the steps.

"Alright Boss, watch your step." Pierce said, as Skylar was nearing the final few steps. When they reached the doorway, they encountered a problem.

"OK Johnny, I'll go in first. When I do, twist it to your left." Johnny did just that. Despite this, it was still stuck.

"No Johnny, I said twist it."

"I am twisting it."

"To your left?"

"Yes, to my left."

"You can't be, because its stuck."

"Maybe twisting it to my left wasn't the right idea."

"No, it is I'm telling you, you must be twisting it to my left."

"I'm not twisting it to your left."

"OK, OK, let's try another way." Skylar tried twisting it to his right instead.

"Its still stuck." Johnny told him.

"Twist it, to your right with my right."

"What the hell does that mean?" Johnny asked.

"How the fuck do you not know what it means?"

"You're confusing me here. How the fuck is it supposed to go two different right directions?"

"Just trust me."

"I have been trusting you and so far it hasn't been the right way." Shaundi was chuckling at this argument.

"OK genius, you got a different way?" Skylar asked him.

"Yeah, why don't we just flip it on its side?" Johnny asked.

"Damn that's actually a good idea." Skylar admitted. They pushed it back out the doorway and turned it on its side. Then, they lifted it back and carried it back to the doorway. It seemed like it would work, but there was a problem.

"The legs are getting in the way." Johnny said. Skylar looked down at the legs of the dresser and saw this was true.

"Hm, maybe we try lifting it a little higher." Skylar said.

"Good idea." Johnny said. They lifted it a little higher, only to see the legs still being stuck.

"This is some bullshit." Skylar said.

"You're not doing it right." Johnny said.

"Please fucking inform me, on how the fuck we're supposed to fucking do this."

"I have an idea." Shaundi said.

"What?" They both said at the same time.

"Why not turn it upside down, then lift it back through the doorway?" She asked them. They did her idea, and sure enough, it worked. They did the same idea carrying it to the bedroom. Over the next thirty minutes, they moved furniture, and continued to argue, even getting to the point of Skylar threatening to throw Johnny through the window. They both plopped down on a couch, tired and out of breath.

"I'd say we could go get some food, but I'm to damn tired." Johnny said.

"Me too." Skylar said.

"Shit we better head out, its starting to get late." Pierce said.

"Oh I'm sorry Pierce, are your muscles sore? I mean, you didn't lift a damn thing." Johnny said.

"True. But, I got shit to do tomorrow." Pierce told them.

"Fine, I'll drive you home." Skylar told him.

"What about you Shaundi? You want a ride home?" He asked her.

"Actually, I was thinking of staying at your place again if that's OK?" She asked.

"That's fine Shaundi. You can stay there as long as you want." He told her with a smile.

"Cool, lets get going then." Pierce said.

"You guys go ahead. I need to talk to Boss about something." Johnny told them. They walked out of the apartment, and down the stairs to the car.

"Whats up?" Skylar asked.

"Tell her." Johnny said.

"Oh fuck me not this again." Skylar groaned.

"Sky, this is a perfect chance. Its just you and her there tonight. Give her that charm you gave Lin." Johnny told him.

"I got lucky with Lin." Skylar said.

"Who's to say you won't get lucky with Shaundi?" Johnny asked him.

"Ya know Johnny, I've been wondering, why the hell are you so concerned about my love life? I mean, why don't you focus on getting a girlfriend yourself?" He asked him.

"Because man, you've been tortured by this for years now. Every random guy she fucked, I could see the pissed off look in your eyes. You wanted to fucking rip their hearts out and feed 'em to them. Because you loved her. And to be honest, you've brought a lot of it on yourself. Plus you know Aisha was the only one for me." Johnny told him.

"Johnny what if-" He was cut off.

"Don't worry about what if's, say 'fuck it' and go for broke. Even if you get shot down, at least you'll know."

"Yeah and have my heart broken in the process, I mean, I wouldn't even be able to speak to her again if she shot me down." Skylar said.

"I can tell she feels the same way. Do it tonight just you and her." Johnny told him.

"Johnny I-" Again he was cut off, but this time not by words, but a slap to the face.

"Man up, tell her." Johnny said. After that, he shoved Skylar out the door. Skylar walked down the stairs to the car. He saw Pierce and Shaundi going through his CD collection.

"Damn, he likes some weird ass music." Pierce said as he inspected a King Diamond CD.

"Oh c'mon, King Diamond is awesome." Shaundi said.

"And look at this other shit. HIM, Marilyn Manson, Type O Negative, London After Midnight, Christian Death. Jesus man, this is disturbing."

"Don't knock it till you try it Pierce." Skylar said as he got in the car.

"How the fuck do you know the words to the shit we sang?" Pierce asked him.

"I can like different types of music Pierce." After that the ride was in silence, excluding Pierce's bitching about Skylar's music taste.

"Alright guys I'll see you." Pierce said. He gave Skylar a handshake/hug and gave Shaundi a hug."

"Night Pierce." They both said. After that they drove away, heading to the penthouse.

"For the record, all those bands are awesome, don't listen to him." Shaundi said.

"Ha, trust me, I take Pierce's opinion with a grain of salt." Skylar said. Before heading home, he stopped off at a liquor store.

"What are we doing here?" Shaundi asked him.

"I just wanted to grab something." He told her. He walked into the store and went to the wine aisle. Picking out the most expensive bottle there was, he took it up front."

"ID please?" The woman asked. He pulled his ID out of his wallet and showed it to her.

"OK, you're good to go. That'll be $50." She told him

"Here ya go." He told her.

"So, you drinking this wine all alone tonight?" She asked him.

"Because I get off in ten minutes, maybe I could help you." She told him with a seductive smile.

"I'm flattered, but I'm gonna have to decline, but thank you." He told her.

"You sure? I mean, I can be a lot of fun." She told him.

"I'm sure." He told her as he walked out.

"Hey." He said to Shaundi. She looked in the bag and saw the wine.

"You bought wine? I assumed you would be getting some beer or something." She told him with a chuckle.

"Normally I would, but I thought why don't we share a bottle of wine tonight?" He asked her.

"Sure that sounds nice." Shaundi said with a smile. She looked at his CD collection again and saw he had a Peter Murphy CD, titled, "Deep."

"Oh my god, I love Peter Murphy." She said to him.

"Oh yeah? He's pretty damn good, love the song "Cuts you up." He told her.

"Me too. I could sing it word for word." She said with a smile.

"Really? How 'bout we test that." He challenged her.

"You're on." She said and put the CD in the disk drive. They heard the drums and violins start.

"You go first Skylar." Shaundi said with a smile over the music.

"On it!" He waited for the lyrics to start. When they finally got there, he started singing perfectly in tune to Peter Murphy.

"I find you in the morning... after dreams of distant signs

You pour yourself over me like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking but never shout
"Hold the secret close", I hear you say

You know the way it twists and turns
Changing colour, spinning yarns
You know the way it leaves you dry
It cuts you up, it takes you high
You know the way it's painted gold
Is it honey? Is it gold?
You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out

Cuts you up"

Shaundi observed this. He was actually a great singer. He was having fun singing the song.

"Alright Shaundi, you're up." He told her. She got ready for it.

"Yeah on and on it goes, calling like a distant wind

Through the zero hour we'll walk... cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break, no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
To conquer it, to feel you're higher
To follow it you must be clean,
With mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

Cuts you up"

"My god she's perfect." He thought to himself. She like him was a great singer.

"We got last part together." She told him.

"Let's do it!" He told her.

"And now I find the special kind

You, yourself, like sun through blinds
You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking but never shout
It's okay... it goes this way
The line is thin, it twists away
Cuts you up, It throws about
Keep you walking, but never shout"

Perfectly in tune they sang together, sounding great. They began laughing together at their bonding. They finally made it to the penthouse, still in fits of laughter.

"My god, that was so much fun." Shaundi said.

"Yeah, we for sure gotta do that again sometime." Skylar said. They reached the penthouse and walked into the living room.

"You go get the glasses and I'll find us something to watch." Shaundi told him.

"On it." He told her. He couldn't stop smiling. It felt like a good time to tell her how he felt. Everything was going perfect, it had to go great from here. He grabbed the wine glasses and walked back into the living room.

"Hey find anything?" He asked her.

"Yeah I found some old horror movie. I know it may seem stupid, but I love the old cheesy horror movies. They got a feel to them that the new age ones just doesn't give me. I'm sure you don't wanna watch this I'll find something else."

"No, no this is good. I actually love the old horror movies too." He told her as he was pouring a glass for her.

"Seriously? My god we're so much alike." She said with a chuckle.

"You're so perfect." He thought. The next few minutes were in silence, they were enjoying the wine and the movie. Shaundi started yawing, he noticed.

"Tired?" He asked her with a smile.

"Yeah a little." As she said that, she got closer to him, laying her head on his shoulder. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her and sat back. She kicked her shoes off and put her legs under her, and got comfortable. The mood was perfect, everything around them was perfect. She looked up at him and he looked down at her. They both smiled at each other. Taking another drink of wine, he finally had the courage to tell her. Grabbing the remote and muting the TV, he looked back at her.

"Shaundi, I gotta tell you something."

"What is it?" She asked. He looked at her. The words wanted to escape but they wasn't coming out.

"You OK Skylar? She asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, I'm just having a tough time saying this." He told her.

"Saying what?" She asked.

"Tell her dumbass!" He yelled to himself in his head.

"Go for broke." Johnny's words crept in his head. Finally he just went for it. He put his lips to hers. After a few seconds, he removed his from hers.

"SHIT! Shaundi I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me there, I was just-" He was cut off by her lips crashing into his. He started moving his lips along with hers. After that, he felt her tongue go into his mouth. Following her lead, he put his in her mouth. Several seconds later, they broke apart, both trying to catch their breath.

"Upstairs?" He asked her.

"Yep. She responded. Picking her up, he carried her up the stairs, slamming his bedroom door shut behind him.


Alright guys that's Chapter 7! Sorry for the lengthy wait, I've been having the worst case of writers block. I've actually rewritten this chapter 5 times, but none of them felt right. Today however after listening to Peter Murphy's "Cuts you up" The ideas started flowing out of my head, so I decided to show my thanks to Peter Murphy by putting the song in the chapter. Also sorry for the change in font colors I was to lazy to type the words to the song so I copied and pasted them hehe.(I don't own the song by the way) Anyways feel free to skip that part, I just wanted to thank Peter Murphy, I know the chances of him seeing this are slim to none but if by some miracle he does, THANKS PETER. Also, a friend of mine who is a fan of this story wanted me to kind of show off Skylar's unique music taste, which I will admit, those bands happen to be some of my favorite bands.
