The Bouncer
The Continuing Series
"So this is what you do all day?" The woman would uncross
and recross her legs sitting on the bar table, an effort much needed
because of her very revealing snake skin skirt. That item was one of
the few things that concealed anything on her body.
"How many times do I have to tell you?" The man whom she
spoke to would shift in his chair across from the table. The light
reflecting off the sweat on his body omitted some of the lines of his
caligraphic tattoos from view.
"If we're not doing anything it means the bar's doing just fine,"
The tan slender figure on the table would adjust herself again,
playing a bit with her red locks. "I just wish the boss would pay for
the air conditioning to be fixed."
"You know that the boss isn't raking in as much as he usually is,
Echidna." The man in the chair would lift himself up so he could
drink from the bottle he had in his hands. Even though he was only
supposed to drink for cover so long ago, the habit had grew on him.
"And you gave LUKIS up for this?" Echidna, as she had been
called had made a comment almost painful to her companion of the
moment, but completely foreign to anyone else. "I think Kou the
superspy is a much better title."
Kou would adjust that much worn open black leather vest, a
small squeak emitting from leather fingerless gloves on leather.
He'd set the bottle down on the floor, and bite his lower lip. Then he
shook his head and smiled.
"There's no need to worry, once the new company moves into
Mikado's stead, then they'll be more jobs around here. That means
more people will move here, and they'll want to get drunk after all that
long hard work."
"You'd be the expert on that, wouldn't you, Kou?" Echidna
would tap her fingers in a domino effect motion, trying to pass the
time seemed difficult for her. "So, do you think Volt is going to be ok
on his vacation?"
Kou would tilt back in the chair much in the fashion as his friend
had taught him. And even with that he managed to shrug. "Volt will
be fine...It's too bad that he's not getting paid off time."
"You make it sound so glamorous, he was given the week off
because the boss was short of money." Echidna wasn't exactly tact
with her choice of words, they were in private in the upper floor of the
bar, reserved so the bouncers could over look the facility and make
sure no one was causing trouble.
"Hey, keep it down! You know we told Sion that Volt was on
vacation so he wouldn't get concerned." The male bouncer would
make his periodic check and see not much trouble, except a young
man hitting on a woman out of his league. Nothing out of the
ordinary. "That kid would give his pay up for Volt, and you know he's
supporting himself and Dominique."
"Well at least they're making ends meet much better now. How
is it that LUKIS was able to get access to all Dauragon's money,
hmm?" Once again Echidna was talking about top-secret information
right in public, so to speak.
"The victims of Mikado's handy work are to be supplied with a
compensation fund. So even if Sion did give up his pay it wouldn't
be too much trouble I guess." He'd turn from the scene downstairs to
Echidna. "You know, Sion's been out there for about ten minutes too
long."
"It's my shift already?" The woman would get off the table, her
platform shoes clicking upon the tile. Her outfit hadn't changed
much, and the boss required some sort of uniform that kept the
bouncers in style. She was no exception.
"Don't sound so innocent." Kou's head would cant in the
direction of the stairs. "Go get him, and earn your pay, alright?"
With that, Echidna headed down the stairs and maneuvered
her way through the people. Kou watched her go through the door
and waited to see the figure of Sion Barzahd enter the bar. But he
was given a long wait. Finally, the door would open, only slightly so
he couldn't see who had opened it. And then the door would slam
open, so hard that the ancient metal door would fly into the
decorative red car parked on the side of the dance floor.
Kou hopped to his feet, and slid down the stair rail for added
speed. (What could have done that?) Thoughts rushed through his
head of his military and martial art training alike, but nothing prepared
him to see this.
"How the... But..." Kou's draw literally dropped. Now through
the door he could see Sion in a collapsed heap, in much pain.
Echidna was hanging over the stair railing that lead to the bar's
entrance on her stomach. That was not the unnerving thing.
Releasing heavy ammounts of steam to signify machinery
heating up, her eyes glowing red, there stood the short form of
Dominique Cross.
"She's been reactiva-Gah!" Kou's form could be seen by the
remaining occupants of the bar who hadn't evacuted flying through
the air and landing on the crushed car. The small girl had flung him
aside.
"....Target not found. Proceeding to find target." Just as quickly
as she had come, she would leave. The mascot of the bar Fate was
showing similar tendencies of the past again...
