Chapter 11
There was around the clock security. Garou knew if he were to escape he would have to time everything perfectly to a T. However, there was another issue. He was starving! "God, I should have eaten that monster I killed earlier!" he said, yet shuttered. "I HATE this voice!"
No sooner did he mention about his hunger did someone knock on his door. Curiosity got the better of him as he opened it and found caterers entering his room. The set up a lavishing display for him and insisted he eats whatever he wanted. A devious grin came over him as he took them up on it.
In a half hour, he cleared every plate, every scrap of food that was made and displayed for his pleasure was consumed. Even the caterers were shocked by all the food he put away. "Sir… are you okay? You never eat this much! You are trying to maintain your figure!"
Garou picked his teeth and shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say, I was hungry today…" he paused. "So what's for dessert?"
"Sweets? You want sweets after eating all that?"
"Is that a problem?"
"Oh… no sir, not at all!"
"Good, I would like black forest cake." He announced.
"Very good, we'll…"
"And ice cream… make it bubble gum ice cream. Chocolate caramels marshmallows, a hot fudge sundae, a six pack of coke a cola, mochi, and hot chocolate."
The caterers froze to the request. "Uh… are you certain you can eat all of that after having such a large meal?"
Garou appeared offended. "Do you doubt me?"
The tried to talk him out of the desserts, but he insisted upon them, they left and returned two hours later with the order. He was disappointed though. "How come there is only a single piece of black forest cake? I requested black forest cake, not a single slice of it!"
He scared the people in the room as he devoured everything once more. They even brought him the rest of the cake that was quick to vanish. He burped aloud and finally felt full. "Thank you gentlemen, that was delightful. I look forward to breakfast tomorrow."
They left the room, still bewildered to what was consumed before them. Garou on the other hand began to regret his meal. After all, it wasn't his body. Amai must watch what he eats, still. A little discomfort was bearable. "I better get home before he does something stupid." He said to himself, he was worried for his children and Melee. Particularly Melee, if he dares to sleep with her…
He shook his head from the thought. For the rest of the night, Garou spent his time watching the guards on patrol. They were doing sweeps very 20 minutes, in that time frame there is a five-minute window of opportunity where no guard will see a thing. Garou would have to move quickly and precisely by them and yet there was another issue. The penthouse he was in, is surrounded by a wall. He could easily climb up and over it, and yet that would take time. He could easily jump it too but how to do so without being noticed is another. "For an A Class hero he certainly has the royal guard treatment." Garou muttered.
He needed a distraction. Turning on the TV he found the top story was at the Heroes Association. They were doing a fundraiser of sorts and much to his surprise. Alley and Melee were attending. It was a hero sleep over for girls, and they were rising funds to help young women train and become heroes who wouldn't have the means to do so. He let out a sigh of relief; it meant Amai won't be sleeping in the same bed as her tonight. It would bide him another day. As much as he could sneek out and go home, he would cause a scene to say the least. Amai's manager has been on him like a fly on shit. He knew where he was at all times and kept himself close just in case.
Garou also knew if he did anything now, if he embarrasses Amai Mask, the favor will be returned to him. He wasn't going to take that chance.
He came to the unfortunate conclusion that if he tried to escape now, he would be caught. More security detail would be placed on him and make his escape more difficult to accomplish. For now, he has no choice but to bide his time.
He needed a distraction though. Looking about the room, he went through Amai's personal items until he found an agenda. Within were booked dates, appearances, talk shows, movie sets and recording times for albums. But there was one thing that stuck out the most. Once a month, he would go into City N to see a soothsayer. His most recent appointment was about four days ago. "Why is he seeing a seer?" Garou asked aloud.
He will have to look into it. Garou sighed aloud knowing it will now take longer than expected. There was no choice but to sleep on it until he can figure out a way to get the hell out of this place!
He took to the bed, yet didn't like how empty it felt. Garou kept feeling the other side of it, the one that would hold his better half. "Melee…" he sighed and tried to get some sleep.
