"Please tell me why are we watching this?"
Athalia rolled her pale blue eyes and crossed her arms. "I had to be given some type of childhood, even though I was running around shooting guns and this is my all time favourite movie."
Damien didn't say anything else and turned to the fifty inch flat screen TV.
African animals head in one direction. As the sun started to shine over the plains, giraffes lift their heads before following the other animals.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Elephants travel through the cool water holes as yip as they gallop along side other herd animals. While some birds rested on the elephants' trunks.
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
A blue hornbill flies pass the other birds in the sky and towards a mountain structure known as priderock, where a golden lion stood at the peak.
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
The hornbill, Zazu bows at the golden lion, Mufasa who smiles and dips his head.
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Rafiki, the mandrill passes between ranks of animals, who bow to him; he then climbs Pride Rock to where Mufasa is standing.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
Rafiki and Mufasa embrace.
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
Mufasa leads Rafiki over to Sarabi, who is holding Simba. Rafiki puts the juice and sand he collects on Simba's brow- a ceremonial crown.
"What's the point in this?"
Athalia shot the older man a glare, if looks could kill.
Rafiki then picks Simba up and ascends to the point of Pride Rock. Mufasa and Sarabi follow. With a crescendo in the music and a restatement of the refrain, Rafiki holds Simba up for the crowd to view.
It's The Circle of Life
Damien's phone started to vibrate. He quickly took his phone out and sighed in relief when he seen the name on his caller id. He got up and walked towards another area of Athalia's loft before answering the phone. "Hey Troy, what's up?"
"I got a tip that there's a turf war going on right now. If we crash their party, we can take all those sons of bitches out at once."
"Alright, I'm in. Where do we meet?"
"Come pick me and Julius up at the church."
Damien hung up and turned to see Athalia standing really close. "Um..."
"Another misson." Damien nodded. "Well, let's go." Athalia smiled, heading towards the elevator.
Damien shook his head before following the young brunette. The drive towards the church was silent, Athalia looking out the window while Damien focused on the road. When they pulled up to the church, Julius and Troy were already waiting.
Julius and Troy got in after Damien got out and pulled the seat up. Julius wasn't happy to see who was in the passenger seat. "Are you sure she's capable of being on this mission, playa?"
Damien looked at Athalia who turned and smiled sweetly at the head Saint. "Just stay out of my way."
Julius watched his new recruit turned around. He stared at where she was at before dismissing the ordeal and turned to the driver. "Hope you're strapped, playa? Cause we're about to go in hard."
"I ain't gonna lie to you, when we go in there it's gonna get rough." Troy seen the girl roll her eyes before he turned to Julius. "You sure it's cool we take these kids instead of Johnny?"
Julius shook his head and got his gun and got it ready to fire. "Troy, you worry to much. The kid and hopefully the girl will be fine."
Athalia groaned before looking at the window as Damien drove to the docks. As soon as they were a block away they could hear gun shots coming from the docks. Damien pulled to the side and got out, he pulled out his shepherd before running off towards the fight with Troy and Julius after him. Athalia opened the door and pulled out her own shepherd and shot a Vice King off a roof. Damien had just shot a Rollerz lieutenant with a bullet to heart. When Athalia aimed her gun for the Los Carnales' lieutenant, the man clad in yellow was already on the ground in a pool of his blood. Athalia walked over to the Saints before stopping at the sound of sirens.
"The cops are comin', we gotta lose 'em." Troy said pocketing his gun and heading towards the Nelson.
Damien put his pistol in the waist band of his black fitted cargo pants before rushing to the car with Athalia and Julius following. Athalia got in the passenger seat as Damien let Troy and Julius in before he got in and took off towards the nearest Forgive and Forget. Damien drove on the sidewalks dodging the cop cars and spikes in the streets. When the close was cleared Damien drove out slowly before making a right.
Troy looked through the rear windshield before turning to look at Damien. "Alright, we lost 'em. Drop us off at church."
Damien nodded before turning a sharp left. The drive to the church wasn't quietly like the drive to docks. Mostly because Julius was constantly praising Damien for his quick and easy efforts. That Athalia silently thanked God when they pulled in front of the church. Damien got out and pulled the seat up and waited for the two Saints to get out before he got back in.
Julius leaned over the door and looked through the down window at Damien with a pleased smile. "We did it, playa. Saint's Row is ours again. Don't think I'm finished you yet, though. I'm holding a meeting inside."
Damien nodded before he watched Julius and Troy head in the church. He turned his green eyes on Athalia who was looking at him. "So I guess we're going to the meeting."
Athalia giggled before getting out of the car. Damien shook his head before getting out as well before heading up the stairs with Athalia at his side. When they walked through the doors Julius was already standing on the poolpit, when he saw the two enter the rackshack building. Then he turned his attention to the gathered Saints.
"Listen up, people. I got some serious shit to discuss. Yeah, we cleared out the Row. You think for a second that's gonna stop 'em? Unless we wipe all these muthafuckas out, they're gonna keep comin', and they ain't gonna be happy. It ain't gonna be settled until the Carnales, the Rollerz, and the Vice Kings ain't nothin' but a memory." Julius turns his brown eyes on Dex. "Dex, you got the Carnales. Ever since they hooked up with the Colombians, it's like they own this town, and with that drug money rolling in, we can't compete. Be smart on how you move against 'em. The Lopez family been runnin' that gang for thirty years. There's a reason they still around."
Dex nodded and stepped back to be by Troy's side. "Got it."
Julius then turns to Troy who in Damien and Athalia's eyes must be his right hand. "Troy, you're dealing with the Vice Kings."
Troy raised his hands and shook his head. "Not a chance..."
Julius snapped his attention back at Troy with a glare. "Fuck you say?"
Troy looked at Julius with a apologetic expression. "Anyone but them."
Julius continued to look at Troy with narrowed eyes. "You scared of going against Benjamin King."
Troy went to say something on that but Johnny stepped up and clapped his hands together. "Man, fuck that, I'll take King out."
Julius looked at the Asian with a stern expression. "Johnny, it's not that simple."
Johnny rolled his light brown eyes. "Bullets still kill muthafucka's, right? Doesn't get much simpler than that."
Julius groaned before turning to Dex. "Keep an eye on ya boy."
Johnny glared and crossed his arms. "I don't need a fucking babysitter Julius."
Julius ignored his other lieutenant and repeated to Dex. "Keep an eye on ya boy."
Dex nodded before asking an question. "Who's got the Rollerz?"
"I do."
Damien and Athalia looked to see a pretty Asian female wearing a blue racing pants, a black vest and her black hair in a bun with two chop sticks sticking out.
Johnny frowned as he took in the female Asian's apperance. "Lin? The fuck you wearin' blue for?"
Julius cleared his throat and answered. "I asked Lin to hook up with the Rollerz. We don't know much about these fuckas, so I wanted one of us on the inside."
A 3rd Street Saints gang member, Athalia remembers as the Hispanic Saint she punched in the face, laughed. "I didn't think the Rollerz pimped hos..."
Lin just swung and punched him in the face, knocking him out this time. "Any other comments?"
Johnny nodded with a laugh. "Yeah, when you punch, don't throw your shoulder so much..."
Lin glared at the other Asian. "Shut up, Johnny."
Johnny raised his hands and stepped back with a small laugh. "Hey, I'm just sayin'."
Julius shook his with a sigh before turning his dark brown eyes on Damien. "Once we're done here go talk to one of these guys. They'll have something for you to do. It's our time now. Let's get this shit started."
Damien and Athalia watched everyone spread out, Johnny and Dex headed to a section of the church while the others headed another directon or left the building completely.
Damien cracked his neck before looking at Athalia. "Well what should we conquer first?"
Athalia thought about it before shrugging. "I don't know. Maybe a shopping trip would help."
Damien looked at the younger female with a hard look. "Didn't we go shopping yesterday?"
Athalia nodded before heading towards the exit. "But it wasn't my request."
Damien shook his head with a smile before following the seventeen year old towards their bullet hole filled Nelson. "We really need to make a appointment with Rim Jobs."
Athalia tossed Damien the keys before getting in the car. "Well, you're the one the one driving."
Damien chuckled as he got in. "I guess I am. So the Rim Jobs then the mall?"
Athalia smiled and waved her hand in front of them before looking out the window. Damien chuckled before driving off to the nearby auto shop.
