----------- Five Days later ----------
"This is wrong in every aspect of the term…." Kai mumbled, pulling down on the skirt he had been forced in to.
Hal sat at the bar next to Kai, a small glass of alcohol in his hand.
Kuroda was really good. If Hal didn't know any better, Kai would just be another girl at the bar.
Kai continued to fidget with the skirt. Lip gloss gave his lips a slight wetness to them, as a thin layer of blush made his cheeks seem to always be blushing.
Yep.
Kai made a hot cross dresser, by far.
"Well, we had no other choice. Everyone else is busy with other parts of this case, and the dealer here only deals to pretty women."
Kai bit his lower lip, tasting the sweet gloss.
He rubbed his lips together, so he wouldn't ruin his makeup.
"I know, but…."
"Listen, Kai. If this goes through, this will be the first time we're able to see what is really inside of this Flower drug."
"Mmm…"
Hal smirked. "Plus, later…" He leaned in next to Kai, moving the hair away from his ear. "I'll help you take off those clothes."
Kai's face turned completely red, his head spinning.
Hal looked around, and saw the dealer.
The dealer their self was a woman. She had flowing black locks that slightly curled at the end. She was not the curviest woman, but she was beautiful anyways, and she was fairly very skinny. Green emeralds scoured the club.
Hal nudged Kai. "She's here. Got your wire tap in?"
Kai nodded. "Mhm."
Slowly, Kai stood up, awkwardly wobbling on the heels Kuroda had made him wear.
He began to walk to the dealer, who looked up at him.
Her smile was sweet, friendly. Kai almost didn't believe she was dealing.
"Hello, little girl. Are you lost?"
The line.
Syndictive had a… sort of complex way of dealing drugs. That was why no one had ever been able to get a piece of the Flower.
"Um… actually…" Kai began, grabbing the hem of his shirt. "I was looking for the Flowers here. I heard they are pretty."
The woman was silent for a second.
"Yes, they are. Do you know what type of Flower they are?" The woman motioned for Kai to sit.
He did.
"I believe they're White Lilacs." He said, staring her in the eyes.
The woman smiled.
"Come, then, I'll show you where they keep them. I hear they make you feel really nice."
The woman stood, and motioned for the cross dressing red head to follow her.
Kai got up, and looked over at Hal, who slightly nodded. He then began to follow the woman.
They walked outside, under a light post. The woman put her hands in her pockets, shivering. "Oh, it's freezing!"
Kai nodded, rubbing his bare arms. He had left his coat with Hal.
The woman brought her hand out, and grabbed Kai's hands. Kai felt a small bottle be dropped into his hands.
"I hope you have fun with the Flowers. I saw you with that man, in the club. You want it to be nice, tonight, don't you?"
Kai's face turned a deep red. "Uh, um… Yah…"
The woman smiled. "Oh, and…"
She leaned in, pulling the wire tap out, and disconnecting it. With a smile, she dropped it to the ground.
The smile made Kai's eyes widen.
"Next time you want my drug, Kai, you need only ask." The woman turned around, and began to walk off.
Kai couldn't move. "K-King!"
The woman stopped, and looked at Kai. "Yes?"
"Why … ?"
King smiled, a simply chuckle coming from him. "Because. It's no fun when you guys are so far behind. And, also…" He looked back at the club door, pursing his lips. "You may want to get back to your partner."
Kai's eyebrows knitted together. "I… I need to arrest you."
King sighed. "No, you don't get it, Kai."
He approached Kai, poking him in the chest. "I have bigger worries right now than narcs like you. Plus, I'm giving you a chance to run."
"Chance to run? Why?"
King tutted. "You don't know? You should ask your partner. But, you should hurry…" King looked around.
"I believe the Ryuugen are on my tail, and yours. Goodbye for now, Kai. I can't wait for our next reunion. It will be most joyous!"
"Wait… King!"
King turned as a sleek black car pulled up. He got in, and waved childishly to Kai.
Kai was left standing there, still kind of confused at what had just happened.
He turned, to head back into the club.
Inside, Hal was wondering why the line had gone dead. Ad they just stopped talking? Had the line gone dead? What the hell had happened?!
A very gray looking man approached Hal. "Y-you…."
Hal looked at him. "What?"
"Help me…"
The man opened up his coat.
To reveal three packs of C4 attached to a timer.
Shit.
Hal's eyes widened, as he quickly stood up. "C'mon, we're going outside."
The man began to speak, rapid fire. "I-I didn't expect this! That fucking kid came up, and told me I could make five times the amount I was now, and… and… God, I'm such a fool!"
"It's not your fault."
Hal quickly took out his cell phone.
And began to dial the bomb squad.
Right as he opened the door, he came face-to-face with Kai. The cross dressing male ran into him. Hal grabbed his shoulders. Kai looked up at him.
"H-Hal! I just… just ran into King!"
"Yeah, I figured as much he'd be here…" Hal mumbled. "Did you get the drug at least?"
"Yeah, I did. Hal… who is he?" Kai pointed to the gray man.
Hal frowned. "Listen to me, Kai, I need you to stay in the club, alright? Don't come out for anything."
Kai's eyes widened. "Hal, why… you're freakin' me out."
Hal growled, before taking Kai into a rough kiss. Kai almost melted.
He released the kiss. "Now go, damn good-for-nothing."
Kai frowned. Reluctantly, he headed into the club. He looked over his shoulder at Hal, who directed the man out of the club.
What was going on?
Once Hal was outside, he got far enough away so that there would not be severe damage to any buildings.
Mostly to the club.
"Get on the ground. The squad will be here in just a minute."
"All…. Alright…"
"Do you know how much time the bomb had on it?"
"Umm… he said I had about an hour…"
"How long ago was that?"
"A-about… 46 minutes ago."
Well, it was better than nothing.
"Th-that woman. I-is she yours?"
Hal laughed lightly. "Yeah, something like that."
"D-do you… love her?"
Hal looked at the man. He was trying to make small talk.
Take his mind off of the bomb.
Hal nodded. "Yeah… I guess you could say I love 'her'."
"That's.. good. I don't see many young… people who admit they're in love…"
Hal smirked. He turned, as he heard the roar of the armored vehicle. Quickly, the bomb squad filed out of the van, and surrounded the man, taking Hal away from the area.
The man's eyes widened. "Please, save me!" He began to yell. "I-I have a wife and a daughter! Please, don't let me die!"
Hal could ismply stare on, as the squad began to suit up, to get ready to disarm the bomb.
It wasn't long before a man stood in front of the gray man, beginning to fiddle with the small bomb.
"Tch… what's taking him so long?" Hal asked one of the men next to him.
"I don't know… Gerard, what's takin' ya?"
"I'm looking, but… man, all these wires are weird! They aren't connecting to anything important, they're just….. all over the place!"
"What? How?!"
"I don't know, but…. Wait, what's with the light? It's beginning to get faster…. Oh, oh shit!"
The man quickly stood, and began to ran. The gray man's eyes widened. "Don't… don't leave me!! Don't-"
A high pitched scream-like noise filled the night. The ground shook, as a fire engulfed the man. Hal put his arms up, as the shockwave came, knocking him on his back. The roar of the explosion filled his ears, and made him temporarily deaf, a ring going off in his ears.
He stared, wide eyed at the scene that lay before him. Man meat lay strewn everywhere, as screams of pain and comfort sounded everywhere.
Slowly, hordes of people began to spill out of businesses, houses, etc.
Hal looked up, seeing Kai. The redhead had a look of fear on his face. He began to run to Hal, which was a feat in heels.
He now stood in front of Hal. Just staring down, tears welling up in his eyes. He fell to his knees, wrapping his arms around Hal's neck, his head leaning on his chest.
"God, Hal, I was so afraid… when I heard that explosion, I-I didn't… didn't know what to expect…!" He said through sobs.
Hal sighed, and began to pet Kai's head, kissing the top of his head. "It's okay, Kai. I'm still here, and I'm just fine. But…" Hal looked at the scene in front of him again. "This will be hard to explain to his family…"
-------------King-----------
Honestly.
I have to give credit to women who wear wedge heels.
They sure have balls.
Because I was having trouble just trying to stay upright.
We arrived back at the warehouse. I got out of the car, a bit wobbly. Tobari smirked at me. I caught it out of the corner of my eye, and frowned. "What?"
"Never would have expected you to dress in drag, King. Or, maybe I should call you Queen now?"
I huffed, and walked up to him.
Yes, Tobari towered over me.
And, yes, he was always there with me.
After all, I did need a guard somewhere along the lines.
I pointed at him. "Watch yourself, Tobari, or you're not getting' any of this tonight." I slid my hands down my sides.
Yes…
It had been about half a year after I started Syndictive that Tobari and I had begun to sleep together. And why not? We had a mutual relationship, and there was no one else prettier around.
He rolled his eyes at me. "C'mon, King, just get changed."
I nodded, and began to walk to my room, unclipping the hair extensions I had on, throwing them onto a random crate. I got into my room, and closed the door, and took off the wedge heels.
I felt like I was walking on air, since I had been wearing those for so long. "Ah… Finally…"
I began to strip now, only to get changed into a black shirt, baggy gray sweatshirt, and jeans. Shoes would come later.
Tobari entered my room, as I was straightening out my wild hair.
"So, tell me, King. Why exactly did you dress in drag?"
I looked at him, wiping the makeup off of my face. "Well, I needed to plant my little present. Also, c'mon, none of our dealers would ever deal to a client I didn't put on their list. But, I was surprised. Wonder how the narcs knew our talk?"
Tobari shrugged. "Maybe we have another mole?
I frowned at that thought. "I hope we do not."
Tobari sat on my bed, and looked around at my wall. "… There are new words on here."
I looked up. "Really? Hn. I guess I did it while I was completely out of it…"
I noticed my family portrait on the table next to my bed. I approached it, and looked at it.
And was confused.
"Tobari…"
"Yes?"
I pointed at the redhead male that held the younger me.
"…. Who is he?"
Tobari's eyes widened at my question.
And why would they? I really didn't know him!
"King… that's… your brother…."
A feeling of dread passed over me. Quickly, I dropped the picture, and grabbed my pill bottle. Quickly, I took out two of the pills, and swallowed them, my hands covering my eyes.
"No… no… I don't want to forget, I don't want to forget…"
"King…"
Tobari grabbed my arm, and brought me against his chest. My eyes were half closed and glazed over from the drug.
"Don't… don't want to…"
My eyes began to close, and I began to drift off.
------------3rd POV------------
The steam of the tub filled the large bathroom. Kai and Hal sat in the steamy water.
Of course, in such a ritzy hotel, they're gonna have a bathtub fit for five people!!! Why, a one person tub will just not do!
Hal leaned back on the marble side, a cigarette place neatly between his lips. Kai was busy , basically playing with the small blue rubber ducky that floated around.
Hal frowned.
"Aren't you a bit too old to be playing with that?"
Kai looked up at him, and pouted. "No."
Wow. Nice and blunt.
Hal took the cigarette out of his mouth, and tugged on Kai's arm, bringing him closer, catching the redhead in a kiss. Kai's hands rested against Hal's chest, his eyes closing slowly.
Hal released the kiss, nipping at Kai's lower lip.
Kai purred softly.
The redhead rested against Hal's chest, snuggling close to him.
Cause what better place to snuggle then naked in the bath tub?
Kai found Hal's hand, and began to weave his fingers between Hal's.
Hal's other arm was draped across Kai's waist, as he kissed the younger male's wet hair.
"Oi, Hal."
"Hmm?"
"King…. He mentioned something to me.."
"Oh? What?"
Kai leaned his head back, so he could stare at Hal, even if he was upside down.
"He told me, when I was outside with him, that he… was giving me a chance to run. And that I should ask you about that…"
Hal froze.
"… It's nothing you need to worry yourself with, Kai."
Kai pouted. "No, I think it is something I should worry about! If my life is involved, I think I should know!"
Hal frowned at Kai's sudden outburst. He sighed. Carefully, so not to burn Kai, he lit another cigarette.
"It's nothing, Kai. You don't have to worry about it because I'm here with you."
"Mmm… that' not good enough."
Hal rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Geez, you can be high maintenance sometimes."
Kai slightly laughed.
He turned so he was facing Hal once again, and placed a small kiss on his cheek. "I love you, Hal."
"Yeah, yeah. I love you too, good-for-nothing."
