Amsterdam chapter 3
When Rei Regained consciousness, he knew exactly where he was. The foul stench in the air of puke and alchohol gave it away. He was in an apartment in the strip. "Glad youre back with us again Rei..." Kai said to a dizzy Rei. "wha...what happened"? Rei questioned Kai. Kai paused for a minute ".....you collapsed from exhaustion after you took a couple of pills.....dont worry you will be fine after another 6 hours, just dont go joining the military for another 6 months so the stuff can fully flush out of your system" Rei throws up into a bucket "You were lucky though, some people who collapse....dont ever wake up..." Kai said to an already throwing up Rei. Kai tries to change the subject "err..what did you think of the music and....well.....last night?" Rei stops pukking "....yeah...it was good the lights and people were great!" Kai walks over to the balcony "And the music?" Rei smiles and sits up "It was great!" Just then Tala walks into the room "Why thankyou Rei...." Tala said shutting the bedroom door behind him, he obviously had female company in the bed he smelt of transferred perfume and had lipstick across his neck. "Wow I didn't know you you lived with Kai?!?!?" Tala smiled "he's been my friend since grade school...." Rei looks outside where Kai is sitting. Kai has just lit what looked like a cigarette. Rei then realises there is this sudden awe about Kai, he is one of the greatest things to happen to a club yet he has such a poor lifestyle and gives the impression he is rich....somehow he is such a good friend. "Got something you want to say Rei?" Kai asks Rei who is rudely staring at him. "....err no sorry..."
Rei gets home. Mariah is still asleep, she must have a day off work. Rei walks over to his room and looks up at the skylight. With the sun in his eyes, it's going to be impossible for him to sleep. Rei goes into the kitchen to pour himself a coffee. "Wonder whats on tonight down at the clubs?"
he says to himself. Rei dosen't know if they are just being nice to him and then blowing him off the next minute.
It is now 7:30pm, Mariah just gets up and runs for the door "sorry! late for night shift be back tomorrow bye!" is all she said bailing out the door. Just as Rei puts down his fifth coffee he hears a beat picking up, the clubs are starting again. Rei walks out of the apartment and heads for Revo.
Club Revo
"Glad you could make it again....Rei" Rei turns around and see's Kai standing at the door "Kai!" Rei says in delight "back for more? you picked a good time....tala is doing a hardcore set....this is his best shit yet!" Kai shouts, the bass is already ear drum shatteringly loud. "I would like you to meet someone some with me.." Kai walks over to a small group of people and taps a dark blue haired girl on the shoulder, they then walk over to Rei. "Rei this is Mariam, Mariam Rei" Mariam smiles and gives Rei a kiss on the mouth. "Awfully nice for a greeting" Rei thinks to himself. Rei looks into her eyes, they are beautiful, Green, but the pupils looks odd for this time of night, she was on something. Yes Mariam was a junkie she was a valued customer of Kai's. "Hey lets dance Rei...." She takes his hand, Rei gets a tap on the shoulder, Kai hands him a sachet with some powder in it. "You may need this tonight" Kai says Rei just looks at it shrugs his shoulders and opens the packet and sniffs the whole content.
The night just faded into visions, there were visions of Mariam and her lovely green eyes, visions of tala on the decks, visions of the lights and suddenly they all faded into Kai's bedroom. Rei then realised he was having sex with Mariam he had just reached his climax and collapsed onto the pillows, the drugs then overcame him and he drifted off into the night.
