Keith and Geno sat on the couch, silent. Both of them didn't really want
to talk about why Geno and Agile were here....but finally, Keith broke the
silence.
"I got everything from your hotel room this afternoon. The suit cases, the bags, the b....."
"Thanks." Geno said quickly. He looked around the hotel room and smiled. "I can't believe they are letting you live at the Mirage."
Keith began to laugh. "God, to think it wasn't.....man, I can't remember when we last met. My age is finally catching up to me!"
Geno nodded. If people were to look at Keith, they would think him 27, maybe 28. Not a single one would believe he was 43. Keith claimed it was good genes, Geno said plastic surgery. He snickered, remember when Pegasus has once said he was surrounded by young people. He never realized Geno and Keith were both older then him, Keith by almost 5 years, Geno by a millennium. Either way, it had been 20 years ago when Geno and Keith had been husling card tables, among other crimes.
Keith had grown up in Vegas with his mom and his stepfather, but ran away from home when he was 15. He had gotten in with a bad crowd, till Geno found him. They teamed up, conning money out of casinos. It was that had given them their nicknames: Geno had called Keith Bandit, Keith called Geno Chaos. It had been their aliases, and now they used them for different reasons. They had worked together for 2 years, with the Chitoshis of all people, till Keith was 21. That is when their lives would change, for Geno had meet Amanda, working as a bar maid. They had slept together, then she disappeared. Geno shrugged it off, and went about his life. Finally, when Keith was 23, Amanda returned and told Geno she loved him. They had a quicky wedding, had a son, and Geno used his share of their robberies to start Roads INC. He hired the Chitoshis, and bought them a house in Japan. Geno had left Vegas 20 years ago, and Keith ahd moved on, becoming a duelist. They ahd kept in touch, but Geno's life had become....complicated.
Everything had been alright.....but then the troubles with Amanda started. She acted distant, and angry....well, more so then normal. Amanda wasn't the greatest wife and mother in the world. Things only got worse when he learned the truth about her. Finally, when Guy was 15, they divorced, and Geno won sole custody. Since then, he ahd been raising not only his son, but the Chitoshi kids. He had to help Raia after she ran away from the orphanage....and there still was Gazabora....
Geno sighed. He didn't like thinking about the past. "It was easier then, wasn't it old man."
Keith chuckled. "Who are you calling old man? You must be what, 60?" Geno shook his head. "70?" Geno raised his eyebrows, and Keith whistled. "Some good plastic surgeon
"I used yours." Geno said with a laugh. Keith chuckled, and let out a sigh.
"You are right, it was easier. We would count some cards, steal chips, rob a few thousands from vaults, what have you. Now look at us: Tow old men, sitting in the penthouse of a casino they used to hussle, dueling punk kids that can beat the crap out of us."
"Out of you." Geno said.
Keith nodded. "So, are you going to tell me what happened to the girl?"
Geno closed his eyes. "We were attacked, she took a hit meant for her husband."
"Ouch." Keith said. "Who attacked you?"
Geno looked at him. 'Amanda."
Keith nearly fell out of his chair. "Your ex? Your ex....." he was speechless. Luckily for them, at that moment, Agile walked in, his head down. Geno looked at him, and Agile sighed.
"What do we do now?"
Geno looked at the TV, an nodded. "We go to Domino and kill Amanda."
Agile looked at him. "How...how do you know she will be there?"
Geno pointed to the screen. It was a cable station, that normally aired from Domino. But instead of a news program, all that was left was static. "This is her work. She wants us back." He spun his dagger. "I say we give her what she wants."
Agile nodded, and began to smile. "We shall ride to our deaths, and drag her to hell."
The brothers nodded, and headed tot eh door. Agile looked over at Keith. "Protect everything here with yoru life, ok?"
Keith nodded. "I will die before anyone touches...."
But the The brothers nodded, and hurried to the roof. People on the street thought they were jumpers, till they unfurled their wings and flew off to the Pacific.
"I got everything from your hotel room this afternoon. The suit cases, the bags, the b....."
