The next morning I found myself and my brother walking behind her up to our
boss's table in the restaurant. I couldn't help thinking how good she
looked from behind. And those wings! Man they are the coolest wings I have
ever seen!
"Bonjour," Mero says in his pompous asshole accent. "You are Pixel?"
"Yeah," she said as she sits down. "That's me."
"Did my boys tell you what I wanted?" I cringe at 'my boys'.
"They mentioned a job. Do I get paid?" she questioned.
"My dear, look at me, do I look like I'm wanting for money?" Another one of his 'pole-up-my-ass' comments.
"Not really, but you could do with some English lessons, your accent is terrible." I definitely liked this chick's attitude!
"Putain," I hear him say to himself. Bastard. "She had better be worth it." He continues to hiss to himself. "I hear you have some special skills." He then asked her.
"I'm special enough," she says, defiantly liking this chick's attitude.
"Care to elaborate?"
"I can change size at will, I can fly, I can shrink my wings to make them invisible. I can also change my hair at will." Mero looked impressed and so did my brother and I.
"I pay well, care for a job?" he then asked her.
"What do I have to do?" She smiled, man did she have a great smile.
"I have an enemy, a dangerous enemy. His name is Vorateu and I want him killed. None of my other employees have managed to accomplish it yet."
"What is he?" she asked.
"A vampire, leader among those from the first Matrix. Think you can handle it?"
"I'm not sure if I've ever done assassin work but I'm willing to give it a try," she says looking confident.
"Good." He clicks his fingers and one of my co-workers passes him a slim manila folder. He passed it to her, and she perused it.
"Is this one in here by mistake?" she asked as she held up a photo of a strange-looking creature.
"No, that is his assistant, Creeper. If you find that gargoyle, you will probably find the vampire."
"When do I get paid?" she then said, getting straight to the point.
Mero pulled an envelope from his pocket and handed it over to her. "There is five thousand dollars in here, it is what you will be paid a fortnight. When you bring me proof that he is dead you will get quite the little bonus."
Pixel just nodded and raised her glass. Damn that's good money for a new chick! Although, I did get six and half grand when I first started because he knew what I was capable of.
"Would you care for some dessert?" Oh no! He's going to try the stupid cake thing. I frown slightly as I watched her take the first bite. But suddenly the slice is back on her plate and she screws up her face.
"This has cherry liqueur in it. I hate cherry." She says taking a sip of her drink and pushes the plate away. Good, I think to myself, she didn't eat it. Though she would have if it hadn't have been cherry.
I see Mero get upset that he didn't get to see the fairy overload with pleasure and I'm glad that she won't be falling subject to his stupidity, if you would call it that. "What exactly do you fight with? Or do you just flit around?" Mero says in his frustration. Why does he always have to get so narky if something doesn't go his way? Nancy-boy...
"Well, I woke up yesterday drunk at McDonald's, I know nothing but my name and personality. Some bits and pieces are coming back to me, I remember a party..." she then thought for a moment. Damn she looks hot. "But I do know I can handle a sword." She finishes.
I look over and my brother is lighting a cig. I turned to him and told him to put it out because of the fairy that fifteen feet away. Then I realized that Mero was looking at us and I noticed he was looking angry.
"Yes?" we say at the same time. We have a habit of doing things like that, for some reason.
"Take her and give her a weapon." Mero then told us.
"Can't I have two?" Oh no! She wants my brother as a weapon! I give a weird look.
"Give her what she can handle and what will be useful in taking out...him" Mero said in frustration, oh ok, she was talking about the weapons, for a moment she there I thought she wanted my brother.
More to come...
Please r&r
