Chapter nine
When everyone got to the club stalker guy wasn't there and neither was Brooklyn's car. Tala went behind the bar while Kai, Brooklyn, and Bryan all took seats at a table close to the bar. The lights were flashing as a waitor came and took their order while sitting on Bryan's lap. "Hey Bry been a long time since I've seen you. What can I get ya dears?"
"Hey Inrique. I'll take a rum, Kai will have an ale, and Brooklyn a beer." Bryan said running his hand on Inrique's thigh.
"Oh you dirty boy you're dating Tala don't turn me on. I'll have your drinks right out." Inrique said standing and going to the bar and talking with Tala.
"Who was that?" Brooklyn teased nudging Bryan in the ribs.
"An ex." Bryan responded. "Actually he is the one that introduced me to Tala here at the bar since we lost contact after moving to Japan."
"That's right I remember him telling me about that. It was the week before school started in July." Kai said leaning back in his chair and sitting with one leg over the other. Brooklyn stared at him and he noticed. "Don't stare love." He said teasingly.
"Don't make me jump you by sitting like that." Brooklyn retorted. Inrique came back with their drinks and gave them to the three. They had been there for about 2 hours with a visit from Tala here and there when the shadey man came in. He scanned the bar and with seeing no Kai sitting there he smiled and took his seat in the back corner like usual.
"Hey is that him?" Bryan asked looking at Tala who was behind the bar and had just turned white after seeing the man.
"Yup that's him." Kai said knowing he didn't need to. Brooklyn stood. "Where you going?"
"To have a cig you wanna join me outside?" Brooklyn asked and went out the door with Kai. The shadey man didn't see them or he would have become very nervous at who he saw. They got outside and while Brooklyn had his cigarette Kai scanned the parkinglot. He didn't see the vipor.
"So either he parks somewhere else or it isn't your brother." Kai said standing close to Brooklyn.
"Hn." Was the response as he took a long drag. "He walked like my brother though." He finished and they went back inside. Bryan wasn't at the table and Tala was on the dance floor for a break. The man in the corner was making a move. "Great timing ne love?" Kai's blue eyes were glaring at the man but Brooklyn was holding his arm so he didn't move and startle the man.
Said man reached Tala on the floor and slid his arm around his waist. Tala paled he knew it wasn't Bryan. He stiffened and that was all Kai needed to pull away from Brooklyn and walk towards them but Bryan appeared from the middle of the floor and punched the guy into Kai knocking them both over. Brooklyn came up along with the bouncers.
"Problem gentleman?" one of them asked.
"Oh not at all." Bryan said.
"We can handle it from here." Brooklyn said with a smile to the bouncers and a glare for the man on Kai holding his cheek. "Won't we Garland?" The other three looked at him. Garland looked up at his brother.
"No trouble here Bro but what are you doing here?" Brooklyn grabbed his neck and pulled him outside. He slammed him against the wall.
"What the hell Garland!" Brooklyn yelled as Kai, Tala, and Bryan joined them outside.
"You never cared before why now?" Garland growled tearing at his brother's hand around his neck trying to make him let go.
"I've always cared. I'm just now stopping you." Brooklyn said evilly quiet. Black was swirling with the aquamarine of his eyes. "Get the hell out of this city and if I ever find you again near anyone I know you will die." Garland actually looked scared now. He looked to Tala and his expression changed again.
"Alright Bro I'll go." He said and Brooklyn released him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife that was Brooklyn's and the car keys to the viper. He handed the keys over but wouldn't let go of the knife. It was a switch blade. Pulling his brother closer Garland hit the switch making the blade cut into his abs.
"You son of a …" Brooklyn said letting go of his brother all together. Garland let go of the knife and ran down the street and out of site. No one cared all they cared about was a bleeding Brooklyn who had just pulled the knife from his abs. "Shit that hurts." He looked up at them. "What?"
"What do you mean what you're bleeding!" Bryan yelled as Tala ran inside to get a wet rag.
"Yeah but he has done worse with his fists so…" his vision blured. "Oh shit." Just as Tala came back out Brooklyn colapsed into Kai's arms.
