"You know, Peyote is gonna be pretty boring without you here," stating his statement, Sirius is slightly guilting his boyfriend to stay. Nonetheless, Russell just laughed it off with his green eyes shut, doubting what Sirius is true. "I mean it, and besides, who is gonna watch the hotel while you're gone?" The three stopped their walk. Russell and Sirius looked at each other while Chimichanga; their bulldog sat in the middle.
"I didn't think this through," Having a lot on his mind as of late, Russell spaced out expression in synch with his monotone voice, "you know, down the basement in hotel that nobody knows off there's a bar almost completed. How about you, Aubrey, and Papillion fix it up. Give it that," rolling his hand, the owner gesture to the word it, "energy vibe to it."
The three once again continue their walk, in between waiting for a taxicab, or as they call it, the banana on wheels. "So, you're saying we should?' Russell nodded while the multiracial boyfriend has a poker face smile. "On behalf on all of us, we won't disappoint you!" Soon after the verbal part of the plan finished, the pudgy dog barked, signaling a cab is coming.
The two waved the vehicle over to their direction as its coming closer to them. The three enter with Russell instructing the elder driver on where to go. "My, aren't we all grown up?" A blank wide eyes expression landed on faces of the couple, "your Russell, Russell Madison aren't you; is your shoe lace tied?" Nodding yes to strange man, his heart beat, went faster until the young man shut his eyes. With that moment, memories of the Russell scatter through his mind, from memories with his father to the nightmares of the demons and bullied at school.
"You. You are that same cab driver 21 years ago who drove my father and I to Gotham!" The cab driver smile gently with a nod, "I promise I won't kick you this time." Both men laughed at their inside joke before he introduce his boyfriend and dog, "oh, how rude of myself. This here is my partner Sirius and our pet bulldog Chimichanga."Everyone greeted each other with kindness then Russell place down his suitcase.
Hemoglobin meanwhile stopped lurking in the shadows and is told to go to the closet alley he can find. "Hemoglobin, here is what I want you to do next now we know his friends are momentary over his hotel," listening in closely, the mute spy lean against the brick walls to hear what the psychic Lepiota is instructing, "once Russell is gone and those three take over, force your way to work with them. Am I understood?" With a persistent tone in her voice, Goodnight's woman exited the man's mind.
"Excellent, now with that fag soon out of picture I will take back my hotel!" Popping one eye further than the other slowly turn to pure jade green, but is quickly reverted, "besides, I gave money to it. So it is mine." Clearing her throat, Lepiota folded her arms, "let me rephrase that, it will be ours." With a slight grumble. Proudly, his woman and started to walk out off the office.
"How again did Mister Madison passed?" Inquired the butler of billionaire Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth who is driving Bruce, Aubrey, and Papillion. "Cancer was it you said?" The attorney nodded to the question as the car ride became quiet to pay their respect not only to fallen friend, but a war veteran to the British Air Force.
"Yes Mr. Pennyworth, unfortunately after what he has done to raise his son as a widower." Papillion and Bruce looked at the inspiring attorney whom happens to known a little more than the three due to being with Russell the longest. "I think we can agree, if it wasn't for Jared's request, Russell would be here to lighten the mood."
"So, how did you and Russell did meet?" Bruce, not making eye contact question the blonde pretty boy, "school?" With light blossoming on the situation, Aubrey began explaining to Gotham's billionaire.
"In school, correct." Looking out the window, seeing people walk by, jogging, drivers on the opposite side, a family that is happily together caught the attention of studded earrings young man, "his social personality couldn't come at a better time." Everyone listen in to make the car ride less somber as Aubrey held on to his Japanese girlfriend's hand firmly.
"Japan huh, why would your father want you to go there?" Without knowing, Russell just shrugged to question, "well, look at it this way; it is very beautiful around this time of year." As the elder man kept talking, Sirius who has his hand under his chin with a long face while facing out the window. Looking out the car view mirror, the subject was completely dropped.
"Why am I emotional? Deep down inside, you lay with me so it doesn't hurt because you are all I need." Crying to himself, "I know I am being selfish." Knowing exactly what song it was, Russell placed his sweaty hand over his lovers which Chimichanga started to lick both of them, "I just don't want want nothing happen to you. I mean, what if you are kidnapped by some Japanese and since you don't know the language, you agree to marry someone!"
Russell who was swallowing his salvia at the same time, choked by the bold thought his over worried boyfriend's theory. "M-m-m-marry?" Stutter the young man, "me? No. Not at all!" Quickly looking over, Sirius raised an eyebrow, "not what I mean! I would only want to get married to you is all."
"Well you guys have one slight problem. As you well know, Peyote doesn't allow gay marriage," stopping at the airport front gate for drop off, "not to cut this conversation short, but we are here." Park right outside the front doors to the entrance, the trio got off the cab so Russell may get his luggage.
With a heavy heart, the young heir look at his lover and lovable pudgy pooch. "I wish this was planned out sooner so we could of been better prepare, you know?" Not making any eye contact, Sirius reached into his pants pocket and handed Russell his IPod. Taking it with question and wonder if it is a late birthday gift.
Shaking his head no, insisted it to be taken, " Playing Lyrics won't be the same without. The pain of having it here will be too painful." Understanding fully, Russell got his knees to see Chimichanga whom is having a long face, got onto the co-owner's arms, placing the paws out for a hug.
Starting to slobber all the soon to be departed's face, Chimichanga's tail wagged rapidly. Being knocked over by the bulldog, Russell gotten back up, brushing it off, and picked up his suitcase, "I'll miss you guys, a whole lot. Words, not even a song lyrics can describe how much." Shaking hands with the cab driver, Sirius came from behind to hug his boyfriend from behind.
Sobbing, while clench on Russell's back tightly and firmly. Turning around, the two hugged and cling on to one another, not wanting to let go. Clearing his throat, the cab driver reminded the two that meter is running. Stepping back into reality, Sirius lean in, kissing his beloved boyfriend passionate and deeply. Russell pushed his body close to Sirius, holding hands tightly and firmly with their eyes shut. Giving up, the elder let them have their moment as this time the couple pulled away for good. With Chimichanga barking goodbye, each men waved their farewell.
"Now you know why I see the glass empty. Becoming an attorney gives me some hope to see the world half full once again for my mother's sake who killed by drunk rage father." Papillion held on to her boyfriend closely, Aubrey wrapped his arms around her waist, wiping away the tears of both of them, "which upsets me the most though is the case was dismiss that there wasn't enough evidences and my father was set free. Free damn it!"
"Each time I hear about your childhood tears me up, Dante." Snuggling up closer, Bruce Wayne crossed his long legs ponder about trail in which was bought by the mob somehow due the mention Aubrey's father as an star agent which aided both him and his model mother to boost her career to be at the top. "Good thing though you're my sweet sato."
Smiling to himself half way, Aubrey admires the cute Japanese pet name his girlfriend gives. "Not to interrupt this sugary love fest, but we are here at address you've given me, Mister Durante." Pulling over the large vehicle, Alfred parked. At the curb which soon after everyone exited to help. Bruce noticed the backyard has a 8 feet black gate with padlock on the oval door. Pointing it out, Aubrey pulled out his Orbit smartphone to text Rusell on where the key is located. "Eh, hem. I may not be the world's greatest detective sir, but I do suspect it will be under the door mat?"
Deleting the text, Bruce Wayne's butler, with eyes shut, and hands behind back has found the key where stated. "I could of done that." Laughing, Papillion and Bruce had their mouths cover while Aubrey is bend over noticing the stain on the pants. Hearing the slight laughter, the blonde turned around question why they're giggling.
"Cause you got a flat tushie!" Shouted the short, spunky, Asian. Panting it while getting back on his feet, Papillion, squeezed Wayne's rear, "he's firm and tight!" The blue eyes widen in surprise due to the sudden grip which cause Bruce to look at the quirky young woman whom is playing innocent by tip-toeing away from Bruce and close to Aubrey. "Actually, we laughed at you for not knowing one of the oldest house tricks in the book, Dante and that your pants have a stain."
With the bodybag released and gate open, the trio went over to Alfred to help with the body. "Well, with jokes aside I do have Mr, Madison's will in my sleeve pocket as proof this is request and you are here by witness of the invent." Nodding in understanding the men served as the ball bearers and Papillion starts to shovel next where Bellarosa Madison is buried. Roses, Carnations, Hyacinth, Zinnia, and Gladioli are the flowers in the backyard surrounding the 4 acres of the garden.
"Whisper, whisper, whisper." Haunting voices ghostly surrounded Russell's mind. Looking to see if anyone is around, but no one near. Sirius and Chimichanga were already gone on the banana on wheels. "Can you hear us? Can you hear us?" Goosebumps popped up on the skin of the young man while walking through the automatic doors. Rubbing his arm, he nodded while going inside with suitcase in hand and Sirius' IPod in pocket.
Shaking it off, Russell enter the short line to confirm the flight, place his luggage on the scale, and to have his boarding pass printed. As the employee ask for 25 dollars, the young man reach into his wallet to pay in cash to head to the tall, slim, tan tone skin security, "I can hear you just fine, but now is not the time." Grumbling under his breath, the security guard raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, just hungry. Bad tummy, bad!" Laughing it off, Russell took off his shoes and suit jacket to be body scanned along with the luggage. "I wonder how the guys are doing." Looking inside the wallet is a picture of everyone.
The wind is blowing hard in Peyote, which caught the attention of the psychic, Lepiota when the windows started to move on its own due to the gust. Creeping in stealthy matter, the multicolor eyes man, went into the opening, "Hemoglobin!" Spooked, the Italian, Spanish woman stepped just in time walk B.N. along with a group of men covered in white hoodie, pants, faced covered in a skull mask, white gloves and sneakers. Stepping in as well the office is mute man, standing next to couple. "B.N., just in time, Hemoglobin finished his duty."
Nodding yes, as the gang, Little White made no movement, "it looks like we can finally start our plan. Amanita step forward, now!" Ordered the crime lord for his main who revealed his razor blade skin alive face after removing the skull mask. "Now with that fag rich boy Russell is gone. I want you and rest of the men to burn his heart!" Hemoglobin stare with an ice cold glare was hoping to do so, instead Goodnight told him no.
Amanita stepped forward. Having scars all over on the unrecognized flesh face, "Our men will find this guy," holding out his arm, clench his gloved fist tightly, in a gruff tone, "and not only we will burn it, but crush Sirius' heart having the ashes slip down MY fingers." Putting the skull mask back on his horribly razor blade face.
"Lepoita, get ready! As soon you feel Sirius present I want you to do your wonders!" Barked Goodnight at his lady, "then I want you Amanita and Little White to do your duty and NOT to screw it up, am I understood?" Leaving the room, Hemoglobin stood on the window ledge, bored waiting for an order. Instead of waiting Sirius' present come to psychic, the mute man went to find him on his own, back flipping out the room.
Everyone looked out the window seeing him leave. Flustered with the brash decision, His woman calm him down reassuring Goodnight that if Hemoglobin does betray them she will make him suffer. Grinning, Goodnight loved the idea, "and don't forget, I can track him down with the simple tap of the mind."
Hemoglobin whom happen to change his wardrobe to a dark tone to in blend. Looking around to track down the taxi on rooftops with speed and vision above an average human. Dust leaving behind with each leap until the man pause and spotted the banana on wheels with Sirius just getting off. Using his arm band cellphone, Hemoglobin texted the location to immediately bring forward Little White.
Swaying his head back and forth to the music, Russell is zone out his own world, "Ring around the rosie, Hopscotch, Monopoly, Red light, green light, G. I. Joes, and Barbies. Do you want to play?" A person got up who was sitting next the young man, noticing Russell changed the song which strangely suited.
"I don't want make it tough, so bye, bye, bye." Flapping her hand like a mouth that's talking too much, the woman sat on the side. Russell pucker his rose shape lips in disappoint mocking her hand gesture, mumbling the lyrics.
"Flight PT is ready to take flight to Tokyo, hearing the lady on the intercom, Russell took off his headphones from the IPod, and got his suitcase, smiling at the same lady whom happens to be boarding the same flight. This cause excitement for the young man, only to hope to get his mind off things that's troubling him as of late.
Noticing too is the same woman who groan in disappointment, "It looks like we are going to be flight buddies!" Screaming in a flamboyant tone with a British accent, which the young man only sounds when is giddy with excitement. Face palming herself, "here let me grab your luggage too since we are going to be sitting next to each other. I'll even let you let you sit by the window." Hoping the middle age lady will ably so he may not see anything out of the ordinary to frighten her and the fellow passengers.
"Well how kind of you. I misjudged you completely. All right young man you win." Walking next to each other, Russell will begin his journey to the land of the rising sun.
Watching the text appear on the hologram screen, Goodnight told Little White to leave at once. Quickly exiting the owner's tower, the gang got on their pale white motorcycles, painted a mushroom on the side of the handle bars, blue flames enlighten from the exhaust pipes, Amanita and rest tracked down location due to the psychic connection Hemoglobin is giving off to Lepiota for a three way wave length.
With Lady Goodnight sending mind control to homophobia the whole town of Peyote what will happen to Sirius?
