Chapter 11: Tony's Warehouse
#########
I snuck out the back door into the backyard, trying to act casual so I wouldn't look suspicious. There was a small breeze outside; it was a lovely summer evening. The sky was dark and filled with many bright stars. The full moon bounced off the large still pool before me. All was silent, and peaceful.
I walked around the rim of the pool towards a tall shed next to the back fence. My house was on the other side, all I had to do was get past the tall brick wall separating the backyards.
Fortunately, this was not my first time ditching a party, so I had an escape route. I squeezed through the gap between the shed and the wall fence when I found what I was looking for, a rather big hole at the bottom of the wall; my doorway out of here.
On the other side of this hole in the wall, were plants, which was why that gap had not been discovered before.
After sneaking into my house, I had gotten dressed into suitable clothing, and had exited through the garage in less than five minutes.
I knew that I'd make it in time, I had twenty minutes to get to Tony's Warehouse and it was only about seven minutes away.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty for leaving Joy behind at the party. She probably had no idea how to act with certain people and what to do at different times. These parties weren't just hang around and talk, if you did something out of turn, people would talk, and anything disapproved by others, would be the center of many discussions.
People at parties, social gatherings and clubs had nothing better to do than talk, mainly gossip, about the events of past gatherings. Pretty pathetic.
Even today I overheard Mrs. Penning still fussing about how 'uncouth' Paris was when she had brought one of her boyfriends to FeatherShip Gardens, a very popular club among Bernard's associates.
From the beginning they couldn't accept the fact that she was dating a man four years older than herself, but when he got drunk and had to be dragged out by attendants, this experience became a regular conversation topic among many for quite some time.
From then on, Paris at her best, tried to avoid these parties. This was the only reason I let her off easy sometimes.
I didn't want that to happen to Joy, especially since people are already going to talk about her because she's the new daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Lee.
That night was her first impression on these people whom she was going to be seeing very often from then on, and I was sent to help her.
I know how being new to a rich group feels. I once was new conversation when my mother married into this family and business. I once was feeling alone and unsure of what was next; sometimes I still do feel that way.
I just know how to hide it, how to disguise myself from others. I may portray as cold and selfish, but it is not who I am. I just grew to the understanding that you couldn't trust anyone, but yourself. I didn't need anyone, no one would understand. No one could understand what I've been through, and what is still happening.
I came out of my thoughts when for a moment, I was blinded by light. I looked up and saw a familiar group of Motorcycles all lined up beside each other, around and beside these motorcycles were people, tons and tons of people.
I scanned the group for a certain face, and I found him.
I drove around the front of Tony's warehouse to enter through the back. When I came from behind the people, they heard my engine roar and moved aside to let me through beside the others.
When I parked beside Tam's cycle at the end, Reggie, one of Big B's stooges, walked up beside my motorcycle, his hand outstretched towards me.
I hopped off the seat "Well hello Kai, I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show" He spoke, smiling his yellow coffee stained teeth.
"Well, you know Kai, always fashionably late" Said Rei as he moved in front of my motorcycle, linked arm and arm with two girls, sluts, as usual.
"Actually, he's just on time" Grinned Tam as he walk out from behind a group of people next to his motorcycle beside mine.
Reggie held his hand out near my face. I sifted through my pocket and slapped some money into his hand. After counting the money quickly, he gave me a nod and left towards the other end of the line.
I slipped out from the crowd and looked down where Reggie had gone, sure enough, there was Big B, surrounded by a group of girls. Flexing his muscles for them. I rolled my eyes before turning towards Rei and Tam.
"You came just in time, the race is gonna start in ten minutes" Tala said as he arrived behind me. We did our handshake and both walked over to Tam and Rei, whom by then had ditched both girls.
Tam looked past me over my shoulder and smirked "Hey Kai" He nudged his head in the direction he was staring. I turned the front of my body to look behind myself. Oh- Shit… There, leaning against my motorcycle, was the person I hoped least to see that night…
