The Next Day, Matt Kelly's Home in Beverly Hills 8:13 a.m.
Eliot woke up in one of Kelly's many guest rooms. Usually he never sleeps in a mark's house but the way those sheets were feeling against his tired skin, he could easily get use to this. Plus, he wasn't acting as his normal self, he was acting as Kane. He was drifting back to sleep when he heard someone come in his room.
"Wake up, fighter boy!" Eliot heard Bandit said. He glared at Bandit
"Dude, it's 8 in the morning. What could they possible be doing this early in the morning?"
"C'mon man! You got a fitting in like twenty minutes and you got be ready by 9:30. That's when she'll be ready to go." Bandit said as Eliot was slowly getting out of the bed.
"Alright! And who the hell is this girl anyway?"
"You'll find out if you hurry your ass."
Eliot followed Bandit out the room to the other side of the mansion. Walking in the room, he saw menswear on racks and Kelly talking to a small, elderly man.
"Kane! Glad to see that you made it. Did you sleep good?" Kelly asked the hitter.
"Yeah I was. 'Til your little door man came bargaining in the room." Eliot replied.
"Fuck you, Fighter Boy." said Bandit
"Okay you two. You're going to be around each other a lot. So might as well be nice to each other.", Kelly looked at his watch, "Okay Kane. Manny here will be measuring you for your first day on the job. When he's done, Bandit will bring you up to the outdoor sitting room where I'll introduce you to her. See you when you're done" Kelly said.
Kelly left the three men in room. Bandit sat on a nearby chair and watched as Eliot awkwardly stepped in front of the mirrors. Manny got his ruling tape and stood in front of Eliot.
"Mr. Kelly has asked for a suit to made for you." Manny said as he bent down to measure Eliot's legs.
"Suit for what?" Eliot asked while fidgeting around every time Manny started measuring him.
"It's all part of the job. Matt believes anyone working for him should only wear the best." Bandit answered Eliot
"Then why weren't you mea-Hey watch it Manny!" he scowled at Manny before turning back to Bandit, "You look like you're playing dress up in one of ya daddy's suits." said Eliot.
Bandit laughed," I usually have a witty comeback but I'm having to much fun watching you and Manny."
"You didn't strike me as the men loving type- Dammit Manny! Warn me before you go messing with my junk!"
"Junk?! I'm the best tailor in this state! My clothes are the finest you'll ever see you…hot headed cowboy!", said a very offended Manny
"I wasn't…I didn't mean your clothes! I meant me, MY MANHOOD! Just watch what your doing." replied a very frustrated Eliot.
After about twenty minutes of Eliot and Manny's bickering, he finally was done with Eliot's measuring and they picked out a suit that was pretty neat. Not Eliot's usual style but then again this is not his usual job. Eliot and Bandit were on their way to the outdoor sitting room on the farthest left of the mansion. Their walk was silent which was fine with Eliot cause he wasn't too big on small talk. Once they got to the outdoor sitting room, which Eliot assumed was the fancy way of saying patio, he heard Kelly talking to a woman. Their conversation didn't seem like a happy one.
"Would you just listen to me, Bonnie?! I need to be sure that you're okay at all times. And what better way than this?" Eliot heard Kelly say.
"You said the same thing about Matling and he almost killed us! I'm better off on my own. I'm not a target." the woman said.
"Yeah but I am. And if I'm a target then so is anything and everyone I care about. Especially you." replied Kelly.
Eliot and Bandit looked at each and mentally agree to move away from the door and sit. It was quiet at first but then they heard Kelly and the woman start arguing.
"That's Bonnie, his girlfriend.", Bandit started, "she's his main chick and top priority. That's who you'll be guarding. He most really like you."
"If she's so precious than why put her with a newbie like me? Why not someone like you?" Eliot asked, he was truly curious.
"Because people like me are in charge of more…business affairs than the personal ones."
Eliot nodded his head and the conversation went to silent for a while. Then Bandit started it back up again.
"You better be careful out there. Matt kinda hired some goofballs after Matling. You know, all show and no action? So outsiders might think you're not serious."
Eliot chuckled to that, "If only people knew what I really was capable of" he thought to himself.
"I mean it took people a while to finally realized that I wasn't a joke."
"Now that I can understand." Eliot finally spoke
"What you mean by that?" asked a slightly offended Bandit
"Well first off, your name is Bandit. That sounds like a fucking name of a Saturday morning cartoon character.", Eliot saw him starting to get upset but continued, "You sound like a 12 year old boy and your suits….you know what I think about."
Bandit just glared at Eliot, who returned his glare with a straight face. They had a stare down for about 2 minutes until Bandit started laughing very loudly. He was laughing so loud that Eliot couldn't help but start laughing.
"Jake", Bandit said while holding his hand out, "Jake Dennis"
"Yea…that sounds better." Eliot said while shaking Jake's hand.
"Whatever you say…Mickey" Jake said with a smirk.
"That's not my damn -"
"Bandit! Kane! Glad to see the two of you are warming up to each other." ,Kelly said with the woman on his side," Kane this is Bonnie, and this is who you'll be in charge of. Guard her with your life."
Eliot got up and shook Bonnie's hand. She looked the very uninterested about the whole thing.
"So! You three should be going. I know Bonnie has a lot of things to do today." said Kelly
"The three of us? I thought you said I was cool?" asked Eliot.
"Oh, I trust you. But Bonnie here suggested that Bandit tag along for a while."
Eliot shrugged. He really didn't care. Jake was the only person he liked so far anyway.
"Alright. See you guys soon", he kissed Bonnie on the forehead and looked her way, "Don't forget to be back in time for the dinner."
With that, Kelly was gone. He left the hitter with his upset Barbie and Eliot's new friend.
"Well sorry to be a disappointment Bonnie but I got a meeting in 45 minutes and won't be riding today." said Jake
Bonnie looked at him irritation, "Whatever, Jake. Come on Crain, I have a yoga in an hour and I wanna stop and get something to eat before that."
She walked off before he could respond.
"Its Kane!" he yelled as he ran after her.
"This is defiantly going to cost Cassio a fortune." Eliot thought to himself
Later that day, The Rep Restaurant 1:31 pm
Bonnie and Eliot walked into the restaurant when she waved at a group of girls at a table. Eliot recognized the girls from the café. He was following Bonnie she suddenly stopped at the bar.
"You sit here." she said dully, "This is my girl time."
She walked away, suddenly getting the happy spirit when she sat at the table.
"She hasn't talked to me all day and when she does, she's giving demands? I'm going to end this job quickly:" Eliot thought to himself
He didn't think he could deal with her much longer. He ordered a drink and just hoped that this would be a quick lunch.
At Bonnie's table...
"So he told you he was going to his sister's and was really at the strip club?" Bonnie asked her friend, Paige.
"Yes! Then when I asked him what he was doing there he said he just waiting for his sister to get off work. For four hours?!" Paige said.
The girls turned their noses up in disgust. "Oh my god! Men are such silly creatures. I'll pay good money to know what are on those minds of their's." Vanessa said, she was the snobbiest of the group.
The girl shrugged their shoulders and begin eating their very expensive lunch. Miranda, Bonnie's closes friend, was enjoying her frog legs when she set her eyes on Eliot.
"Speaking of minds, I wouldn't mind being in his head."
Bonnie and the girls looked up and Bonnie immediately rolled her eyes.
"Oh that's just Kane. He's my driver." Bonnie said dully.
"Well…invite him over here!" said Kasey, the youngest of the group.
"Weren't we just bashing men, now we're inviting them to our girl time?" said Bonnie, her frustration starting to build up again.
Back at the Bar...
Eliot saw Bonnie signal for him to come over and went over to the table.
"Hello ladies" he said with a winning smile
Everyone except Bonnie melted when he did so.
"Have a seat…we need a man's point of view.", Paige waited for him to sit before continuing, "My boyfriend said he was going to see his sister but really he was going to-
"The strip club?",Eliot said, finishing her sentence. She seemed surprised, "See, men needs something to distract them from big situations. Unfortunately, we don't make the best decisions when we're stressed."
"Well since your so honest, maybe you can help me. My boyfriend claims we need a break. Does that mean we're over? "asked Kasey
"No. He needs time to work on himself. He doesn't want you to see that see him that way cause a beautiful woman as yourself may not want a weak man."
The young woman was so into his blue eyes and so distracted by his compliment, she barely heard anything he said. That didn't stop her from blushing.
"Are those chocolate covered strawberries? I love those so much."
Bonnie watched in disgust as her friends almost injured each other trying to get the strawberries to fed them to her driver. She looked over at Kane/Eliot as he was currently being fed by Vanessa. They made eye contact and he smirked at her.
"Can't wait 'til he's gone" Bonnie thought to herself
