Hey guys! Here's chapter 6. Sorry it took so long, exams week just ended and guess what? I passed, yay me! -TropicalAce
Chapter 6: The Family Business
The sound of Spanish men yelling orders could be heard from outside the room, "Bring some tables and flip them over!" one said. "Man I don't feel like dying today." "Shut your trap, and make some cover!" "This won't work." Another sobbed. "Did I ask you. No? Then get in position!" "Yes.. Sir." a group of voices mumbled. Safeties being clicked off and shells being chambered could be heard and then nothing." Shit!" Dave panicked, "The hell are we going to do!?" He frantically paced up and down with his arms folded tight, thinking of a plan. Ciara snickered, "How about I just go out there and outré then kill them?" She said, smiling evilly. "No." Dave replied, " Killing is wrong and shouldn't ever be resorted too. And besides, let's say we did put into action, I'll be turned to swiss cheese-wait, you just want to kill me off!" He turned to her glaring.
"Only 40 minutes passed and you already know me so well! Want a cookie?" Ciara asked playfully clapping her hands, floating closer to the door. Dave stopped pacing and stormed right up to her face. "This is no time for your fucking games." He said in an intimidating tone, "I'm busting my ass on how to save the both of us and you're not helping."
"Oh, how frightening. If weren't for this 'Sunny' thing or whatever you'd be dead by now and I'd being outside killing things." Dave eyes widen at the mention of Sunny's name and along came an idea. "Sunny you're still in there, right?" Dave asked as if talking to Sunny. "That won't work, tough luc-" Ciara's eyes flickered, "-Yes I'm still here." Sunny said sweetly. Dave's face lit up with excitement although somewhat lost at what just happened. He would figure that out later he decided, for now he needed to act as fast as he could. "follow my lead." Sunny paused and nodded obediently. "As you command, Master. But may I ask, what happen to your shirt?" Dave look at his ripped shirt from the argument Ciara, "Don't worry, this is nothing."
The two exited the room with Sunny tailing behind, "Your back… " Sunny said weakly, "I said don't worry." Sunny tried to do just that as she trailed Dave out Into the hallway.
"Hands up, now!" A voice commanded. Dave and Sunny quickly flung their arms in the air kneeling to the ground.
Men in black blocked off the hallway with flipped tables, crouching behind it as makeshift shelter, guns drawn. Dave saw that they had him covered from all angles, meaning any act of aggression on his part would leave him and sunny dead.
A man hoped out from behind the barricade and approached Dave. He looked middle aged and was dressed in a white tux and leather shoes. His hair is grey with a mixture of black and his eyes were the same as Samantha, blue. "Pardon me," he said in Spanish with a fake smile. "You are my daughters new friend correct?" Dave looked at him, "Um, I…don't…understand? English…please?" The man raised a brow, "Oh? You don't speak Spanish. What a surprise." the man said in English, " Now that we understand each other, let us cut to the chase shall we?"
Dave glanced at Sunny who was still shaking like a leaf and nodded his head. "Good, now that I have your cooperation I can guarantee that you won't be harmed... As long as you don't interfere while we dispose of this thing." The man said, gesturing towards Sunny. Dave was about to answer but Samantha's voice was heard in the distance. "Papi! What are you doing!?" she cried out in Spanish. He turned to her and his cold hearted smile turned warm and filled with Fatherly love when he saw her walking his way. "Nothing, just having a chat with your friend." he answered, returning to his original language. "With guns pointed at them!? Are you mad!? It's because of you I have no friends!" "But I'm doing it for you, princess." he said a childish voice. "And they might be bad people! Plus, they damaged my house! Why are you yelling me and not them!" he whined. Samantha scolded him, "Because those 'bad people' are the new servants!"
His dropped his jaw in amazement, looking at Dave and Sunny. "Those pieces of shit!?" He screamed, still retaining his childish tone. "You made them your bodyguards!? My ass can do a better job protecting you than them!"
"Enough!" Samantha said angered. "Tell your men to stand down now."
Dave couldn't believe what he saw what played out before his eyes. It was like how a mother would scold her child for stealing from the cookie jar. David giggled under his breathe but Samantha's Dad heard it. "What's so fucking funny, asshole!?" he demanded in English. He snatched Dave up like he was a toy, bringing him to his feet. "Dad!" his head shot back and his daughter eyes were burning with rage. "Get!" And like that, He released Dave slumped his head walking off to the men in black telling them to stand down and clear out. Just before he left, he glared at Dave pointing two fingers at his eyes and back at him. 'I'm watching you.' he said and left along with his men.
Samantha bowed apologizing to Dave, 'Thank Arceus he doesn't know Spanish!' She thought. Dave helped Sunny to her feet, wrapping an arm to comfort her close to his chest. She was shaking so hard, it felt like a small jackhammer going off in his hand. "I'm so sorry!" apologized Samantha, I don't what came over him!" Dave awkwardly laughed it off, "It's ok." "Thank you! You're the first person that hasn't run away! I'm so happy!" Sunny's shaking stopped when she felt Dave heart raced but she looked at Dave's face, calm as ever. Samantha inspected Dave's body, with him shyly blushing. She circled around and screamed, "What happened to your back, Dave!?" He frowned, and indicated he didn't want to talk about it. "W-well how about we get you some new clothes and talk over dinner?" She blew it off. He nodded, "Sure.." Dave broke off from Sunny's grasp, as they made small talk about Dave's job offer as they walked through the halls to the dining room.
"If you want him, take him." Ciara's voice said inside her head. "And besides, the next cycle will be here soon, I can feel- I mean we can feel it." 'No,' said Sunny in her mind. 'Pokemon and humans can't be together…. But how are we talking to each other and why aren't you fighting back?'
Ciara yawned, "It appears I 'created' a second consciousness.. Or a split personality to be exact. The reason why I'm not fighting is because what point is there? You're basically a second me so our powers cancel each other out but it depends on whose willpower is stronger. And I can just take over when ever I feel like." 'How can you be so relaxed knowing that something or someone else is controlling your body?' Ciara retorted, "How can you be? Your just a made up fragment of imagination after I blacked out from that stroke. It's amazing I'm still alive."
Sunny shuttered, 'So what am I?' Ciara thought about it and came up with this, "Think about you being a desire. You are the by product of the desires I had locked away. And I am the same for you in a way I guess."
Sunny's thoughts ended when she bumped into Dave. They were standing beside a door, talking. "Please change into your suit, it has already been prepared. Your Trainer's Card and money is there as well." "Thanks." said Dave as he went into the room.
The two ladies waited quietly for Dave to come out with his new clothes. They stood on the side with Samantha gleefully smiling to herself. Sunny watched her, secretly reading her mind, 'I hopes he likes it,' Samantha thought. 'The suit is custom made just for him!'
Finally, Dave came and all eyes was instantly glued on him. He wore a white long sleeved button up shirt with a also long sleeve grey over coat. A Burgundy tie noose around his neck. His shirt is neatly tucked inside his match pants and complementing shoes. Samantha blushed heavily, with sunny reading her mind again, 'I knew it! He's so handsome! All he needs to do now is get rid of that wretched hair!'
"I don't know what to say.." Dave spoke out. "It looks so…expensive.." He tugged on them a little and all he felt was pure 100% silk. "Nope that's cheap!" Samantha said, "It's only 4,700 pokedollars." Dave face turned pale,"4,700 pokedollars?" "Yup!" Samantha said cheerfully, "Do you like it? I got it cheap because my family run a tailor store in Lilycove City so I got it at a excellent price." "How much is the regular price? If you don't mind me asking." Samantha cocked head to the side, "I think it's around 6 to 8 grand if I remember correctly."
Dave face almost went ash white, 6 to 8 grand!? Minus the fact that he's looking at one, who would spend that much money on a suit!? Just how rich are these people!?
Samantha began to walk and Dave and Sunny follow behind. After 10 minutes at last they reached the dining room.
It was massive just like the rest of the house. A table fit for 15 people lined with chairs stretched in the center of the room on red carpet. A window panned across an entire wall revealing it was night and that they were on the second floor. On the east side of the table a chandelier similar to the one outside, shining down at the table. Two push style doors that lead to a kitchen was in the corner of the room.
"Sit where ever you like I'll get some food for us." said Samantha. And as told, Sunny and Dave took their seats on the furthest end of the table with them side by side.
Moments later Samantha came out with a platter filled with food making Sunny's and Dave's stomachs grumble at the sight of it. She rested the platter on the table and seated herself across from them. Dig in!" Samantha said tucking herself to the table.
Time passed slowly for the crew as they at luxurious meals. Samantha wiped her mouth then spoke, "As of now your officially apart of the mob" Dave raise his head and swallowed hard, "M-mob?" he choked on piece of food and picked up a cup of water to wash it down. Then bells went off in his head as his memory came back to him about the Garcia Family.
The Garcia Family. Infamous mobsters that held key portions of the Hoenn Region. People had begun to call them the Stargazers due to the highly illegal drug called stardust that they sell, which makes up a large chunk of their cash flow. Other than The Walkers another of the three main gangs that roam the streets of the Hoenn Region, they are mostly unopposed. Citizens were kept inline by blackmail and extortion, meekly paying mob's protection fees. The cops were either too corrupt, accepting bribes and looking the other way when someone 'disappeared' or lacked the man power to drive them out.
Dave believed his memories and trembled in his seat, 'Why me?' he thought to himself.' To think I'd be in the hornets nest, The Garcia Family. Hell, they'd shoot the writer if he didn't spell their name right.' He stared Samantha directly into her eyes, "Well I guess you caught on, sorry for lying to you." she said, whistling out. "You can come out, Papi. The gig's up."
Her father came out from the kitchen door and casually sat by an empty part of the table and kicked his feet up.
"Samantha." He called to her in English. "Yes?" she replied, "Leave, I'd like to continue the conversation with the boy."
"Yes sir." Samantha did as she was told without a fight left the room with a frown.
"Now..no need for introductions, I had my men pull up your family's files. " Unknown to Dave, all Sunny felt was felt blood lust coming from that man, hidden by fake smile by his. "Now I will make this simple for you, I ask the questions and you give me, yes or no, understand?"
"Yes" Dave said nervously. "A fast learner are we? Let us begin Dave." He said with serious face and the atmosphere into that of a investigator questioning a suspect,
"Did you know that my daughter is a part of a syndicate?"
"Yes."
"Are you after our money?"
"No."
"Are you here because of the 'job' offering?"
"Yes."
"Do you know The Walkers?"
"No."
"Do you know Team Rocket?"
"Yes."
"And Team Magma?"
"Yes."
"Do you accept that if you tell a soul about my face and my family operations or if my daughter gets harmed in any way, you will be wiped clean from the face of the earth?"
"Y-yes." Dave shuttered.
"Are we clear?"
"Crystal."
The man laughed putting on a light expression, "A sense of humor even in a situation like this! Normally, people would be shitting in their pants, staring down the barrel of my gun after they said that but a joke is a joke, am I right?"
"Yes." Dave said, correcting himself. The man got up from table and to went over to Dave. "Come my friend! You all need a place to sleep, yes?" Dave and Sunny shook their heads. "Then come! I'll show you your room! Your initiation battle begins tomorrow."
And within minutes, They were at their room and everything looked normal until they opened the door. Unlike the rest of the house, all they got was a bed. That's nothing else just four walls and a bed, no lights, no T.V, no nothing but a bed. They closed the door and fumbled around in the darkness until they got to the only thing in there, the bed.
Sunny flung herself in the bed like a sack of potatoes and Dave stripped to his boxers and did the same.
And just like that chapter 6 is done, chap 7 will be up in time! Our first pokemon battle!-TropicalAce.
