V went over to the table and handed them their drinks. "What was that all about?" asked Butch. V shook his head, "Nothing" Rhage looked at V and shook his head softly, "Look V, about what happened in the car" V put his hand out, "It's ok. Don't be sorry. I get it" he repeated almost the exact words that Leon had said. Rhage cocked an eyebrow, "Really? Umn…ok" he said surprised.
Then Leon came to the table and handed V something, "V, here's your phone. You forgot it on the counter" V took his phone and smiled at her, "Thanks Leon" "Anytime" Butch looked at her, and they at Hollywood. Butch nudged V, "Hey, aren't you gonna introduce us to your friend?" V glared at Butch, and then looked back at Leon, "This is Leon. Leon, this is Hollywood and Butch" Leon smiled at them, "Nice to meet you" "Likewise" said Hollywood. She smiled at them, "Well, if you need anything just give me a holla" Butch smiled at her, "Will do"
She was about to walk away, until Butch caught her wrist, "Holla!" She looked at him and cocked an eyebrow, "Holla?" "You said to holla if we needed anything" She gave a small laugh, "Ok, what's up?" "Well, our car had a flat tire. You got a spare anywhere?" "What type of car?" "An escalade" "Ooo, nice" V smiled, leaning back on his chair, "Yep. I'm pretty proud of my girl. Anyways, you got a spare tire?" She smiled, "I think I got something snuck in the garage. Let me check" "Where's your garage?" he asked. "Outside?" "You shouldn't be out alone" "Why?" Hollywood looked at V, and then at Leon, "Here, I'll go with you" he smiled. She grinned, "Sure, why not"
They went outside into the garage. Leon inserted the key, and opened the garage. They went inside, as she looked around for a spare tire. Moving the tools and other crap she found, she just couldn't spot one tire. Her eyes gazed at Hollywood, "You know, you can help" "Oh" he realized, "uh, yeah, sorry" he looked around the garage, his body slithering through the tight areas. Leon looked at him, "So, you good friends with V?" He looked at her and smiled, "Yeah. Buds since the 15th century" She laughed, "I see. Ah, here's one" she pulled out a tire and handed it to Hollywood, "Here, I think this will do" He lifted it and placed it over his shoulder, "Thanks. Is Leon your real name by the way?" he asked curiously. "Nah, it's Aimee. But I prefer Leon" "Why?" "It's my last name. I think it's cooler" she chuckled.
"Whatever you say kiddo. Anyways, does anything weird always happen around here?" Leon stood up and brushed herself off lightly, "What are you talking about?" "Y'know, hear any gunshots lately? Or something along the lines of that?" She shook her head, "No. I heard one earlier though. About an hour ago" Hollywood nodded his head, knowing it was the gunshot that pierced through the wheel. "Oh, I see, but nothing else?" she shook her head, "No, why the interest?" He shook his head lightly. He didn't want to worry the poor girl. Knowing that there are madmen running around is that last thing she probably wants to here. He shrugged, turning his back on her, "Just asking. C'mon, let's put this baby on the car"
She nodded and followed him to the escalade. She circled the car and nodded her head slightly. It was perfect. The jet-black color wasn't scratched or anything, clean perfect windows, the rims, the mirrors, it was all perfect. "I'm impressed" she nodded. Hollywood looked at her and grinned, "V keeps it spotless at all times. You would be surprised how much shit this car has been through" He knelt down, and started to take the old tire out. Leon knelt next to him as he placed the old tire on the ground. She glided her fingers over the tire, sensing something was wrong. Then she saw the hole, and shot her glare at Hollywood, "The wheel has been shot…" He looked at her and sighed, "Now…Leon-" "What's going on?" she asked a little impatient. "Ok, let me just put the tire on, and I'll explain it later" She nodded her head.
She shivered in the cold, as the snow became to fall down. Rhage took off his coat and handed it to her, "Here, you need it more than I do" he smiled. She took it gratefully as she threw it on. She chuckled at the size, it was bigger than a bear, "Thanks" He finished placing the tire on the car and sighed, "There, that's it. Now, you want to hear the story?" She sighed, knowing she wasn't going to like what she was going to hear, "Sure. You can tell me over a walk" He nodded his head, as they started walking down the road together.
"Now, where to begin…" "How about starting when you're tire got shot?" He scratched the back of his head, "Yeah. Well, me and V were having an argument, then our tire got shot, and we pushed it to the bar" "Why did they shoot the tire?" He shook his head, as he saw his breathe in the air, "I wish I knew, but…" he stopped. Closing his eyes, he took in the scent and sounds of his surrounding.
He opened his eyes quickly, and pulled Leon behind him, "Don't make a sound" he whispered, taking out his dagger. She held his arm, fear and panic running through her body, "Holl-" "Shh, I said don't make a sound" She closed her mouth, feeling the tension in his voice. It was dead silent for a moment, and every second felt like an hour. It was all going in slow motion. Her breathing. His breathing. Then someone lunged themselves at Hollywood, a fierce yell coming out. She shrieked, "Hollywood!"
Rhage grabbed the wrists of the man, as he rolled over on top of him. He took the dagger and placed it near the man's neck, "Who are you?" he growled. The man didn't say anything, as he fought to escape Hollywood's grasp. "I said, who are you?" he demanded. "Bite me" he grinned. "That might not be a bad idea" Hollywood snarled. Somehow, the man threw Hollywood off, as he took out a gun, aiming for him. Rhage cursed under his breath, as he threw some hair out of his face, "Answer my question. Who are you?" he wasn't going to take silence for an answer. "A lesser maybe?" "No shit" growled Rhage. He threw himself at the lesser, lunging his leg to his gut. The lesser coughed up blood, wiping it off on his sleeve. Rhage took the man, throwing him on the floor, "Should I just kill you now?" The man smirked, hiding his eyes behind his bangs, "Fine, go ahead. Kill me. It won't make any difference. My master will have your life. Yours, your brothers, and your wife" That was the final straw. He took his dagger, and stabbed it in the heart of the lesser, which died instantly.
"Damn lesser" he mumbled. He almost forgot about Leon. He turned around with a small smile, but that smile faded when he saw a knife to her throat, and an arm across her neck. "Not so tough now, are we?" the man said. Rhage growled, "Let. Her. Go." "Is that a threat?" Rhage gripped on his dagger, "Maybe" "And maybe I won't let her go" "Let her go" "Or what?" "It wasn't a question. It was a demand. Let her go NOW"
The man laughed, and cut her shoulder lightly.
