Chapter 9

"How did they get to the penthouse, I mean what were they transported by?" I questioned as I sat on the steps of the stairs.

Kenzie replied, "By helicopters, of course." Gosh, I was dumbfounded.

"And, they just started shooting?"

"Hell yeah." Johnny answered.

Matt asked, "Boss where were you, anyways?"

"Drinking, and murdering. Why? Is there a problem with that?"

Pierce jumped in, "No, but you could've came by earlier."

Sarcastically I said, "Well, sorry I was busy. Can we just clean this place up, though. Soon, they're just going to destroy my WHOLE place."

Everyone agreed with me. I rounded up all the dead bodies that were on the floor and threw them in the trash. It wasn't that easy, I had to get a blanket and put all the bodies on the blanket. Then, I had to lug them out, all the way around the penthouse building outside. I walked back into the elevator and was silent. I didn't have anyone to talk to, it didn't really matter for me. Once I was back into the penthouse I saw everyone else trying to get all the damaged things into the trash-bags. Damn, I needed a maid.

4 hours later...

Why do we have to clean my penthouse all the time? I was happy when we finished. Everyone (including me.) were all close to the elevator downstairs.

"Tomorrow, Johnny and I will drive around Steelport looking for more soldiers. Hopefully, we can kidnap one and beat some things outta him." I said.

"What about us?" Pierce asked.

"Ben and you will look for some hideouts. Kinzie and Shaundi you guys will go kill some"Magnificent Corporation" soldiers and look for an I.D card. Something, that could get us in a high-class building. Matt and Asha, you guys will create some chaos and draw them to an abandon building. Everyone got their procedures?"

In unison, they all replied a very simple answer, "Yes."

"Good. Now leave. I need my alone time."

Mumbling they all left, walking into the elevator, all at once. I seriously did need my alone time. I needed to think everything through. Today.. today was a hell of a day. Getting rejected, and my penthouse being destroyed, this WAS a hell of a fun day. I walked to the kitchen and open the fridge, as I looked for beer I forgot Pierce stole all my beer.

"Fuck!" I yelled, as I slammed the fridge. I decided to go to my bedroom. As I got into my bedroom I sat on the bed. I found a picture of me, and my brother, the picture was sitting on the bedside table. I felt guilt go through my whole body.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered.

"Who's that?" I jumped at the voice.

I looked over to see who it was, "Shaundi! Why do you always have to sneak up on me like that?"

"Sorry. Who's that?" She asked, again.

"Nobody important, what do you need?" I asked, I walked over to my dresser and open it, I threw the picture inside the dresser.

"I just wanted to check up on you. I wanted to see if you were okay."

"I'm fantastic. Now, leave."

Shaundi asked, "Why?"

"You're teasing me. You come and go. So, I would love it, if you left right now." I started to walk to leave the room. But, of course she was in the doorway. Preventing me from leaving.

I was getting irritated and asked nicely, "Can you move?"

"Sure. But, one question, why me?"

"Are we going through this, again?" I questioned. She again, was serious. It was just like the other night. I really wanted to drink myself to sleep. Or better yet, get into another coma.

"Okay, okay, It's you because, it's you. I mean, you can't really pick a person and say, "Yep, I'll have an attraction to them." Alright? Now, move." I was getting REALLY irritated. Shaundi finally moved.

"Thanks.. Now leave my penthouse."

"You can't just kick me out." Shaundi said.

"Uhh, fuck yes I can. Now get out."

Shaundi gave up, "Alright," as she started walking she said out-loud. "But, I'll think about it." Soon, she got into the elevator and left.

"Think about what?" I thought. I desperately needed some beer, though. Ehh, I'll just get water. After getting water and all that boring shit no-one likes, I sat on the couch. It was blood-free so I wasn't soaked with someone elses' blood.

I began thinking about my past life. In High School I wasn't that "Player." I was actually kind-of a nerd. I hated sports, and I loved being that person who can actually play some music. Funny thing was, when I was a small child I was "fat". Then, I became the guy "with a nice six-pack and eyes".

God, my childhood was "normal". Living in the suburbs, and having a mom and dad to help me. I wasn't meant to be a gang leader. I was expected to become a fucking doctor, I was also expected to have kids. Around, 3 little kids. Little shits running around, and calling me 'Daddy'. I like my life how it is now, but it's stressful sometimes. Like right now. Shaundi's playing with me. I hate it so much. She just needs to tell me one thing, maybe my 'feelings' don't matter to her. It's a joke because I'm a huge asshole. To me it's real, it's 'real'. Then, I wonder how it would feel like to have a normal life. Having kids, working, teenagers, and retiring. FUCK THAT! I forgot how late it was getting. I wanted to go to sleep. I decided to get up throw the glass in the sink, then get into my bedroom in the bathroom and brushing my teeth, finally I undressed, and fell on my bed. I wanted to sleep.

Sleep took over me.
