Meeting The Boss
Before we begin – Thank you so much to the jest who wrote a review on my story! I'm so glad you enjoyed Waves Of Affection, and I hope you are enjoying this story so far? Plus to answer your question, this is set in the present time. Not the Victorian time my friend!
Now now ladies and gentlemen! We will finally be meeting the man on the other side of the cell phone! The harpy eagle is back ladies and gentleman! But this time…he is going to be the main villain in this one! So instead of spoiling the story…let's get right to it…
Right after hanging up the phone with the blue and gold man. A very tall and ferocious looking harpy eagle man was glaring out of the window.
You couldn't see their face as of yet due to the fact that they were staring into the dark and gloomy streets of Rio. Contemplating deeply about the phone call he had only just received from one of his vampire hunters.
"Hmmmmm…Julio! Get in my office!" The voice that emerged from his beak was so dark and so mysterious. That it would send chills running down anybody's spine.
After waiting a mere few seconds after he stopped speaking into the microphone on the table, he heard a light knock on his door.
"Come in…" He sinisterly spoke as he sat down on his chair, with his back facing the door.
The door only swung open ajar due to the fact that the person entering must have been completely terrified of him.
The person who entered the room was a fairly chubby looking military macaw man. With light brown eyes. A bald head, along with glasses. He also had a yellowish beak and nose, and wore a white and black suit with some casual trainers on.
"Ummm…Yes…Z-Zenon? I mean…sir! I mean…b-boss! I mean…"
"Shut your fucking beak…" Zenon cut him off from his stuttering, as he was getting tired of his babbling.
"Yes sir…R-Right away sir!" Julio stood there in complete silence. Lowering his head in fear, as he awaited for his boss to turn around and face him. "You…w-wanted to see me?"
The male harpy eagle stood up from his chair and briefly strolled around to the front of his desk. Sitting down on the edge of it, revealing how hideous his look was.
He had light green eyes which shone with a lot of hatred and rage. He had slick hair and dark facial hair m. He also appeared to be very physically fit, along with a six pack and every other muscle you could think of.
He had a huge scar going down via face from the top of his nose to his chin, which gave him an even more terrifying appearance.
"Tell me…Julio…Do you…Enjoy, disappointing me?" Zenon viciously snarled, as he tied both his hands behind his back. Circling around him with his face looking all angered and confused in a very weird manner.
"Wh-Wh-What do you…What do you mean…D…"
SLAM!
"Don't play dumb with me! You know exactly why I have called you in here!"
"I…I…Don't recall…why…"
SLAM!
He bashed both his hands on his desk once more and then swept everything onto the floor. Nearly chipping the wood a little bit. Startling the living day lights out of the military macaw man.
"YOU WERE GIVEN ONE FUCKING JOB! DO NOT…SCREW UP…THE CONTRACTS!" He bellowed furiously as he picked up his chair and tossed it up against the wall. As the bottom legs snapped off from the impact. "I have spent TWO YEARS! Trying to find that vampire! TWO GOD DAMN YEARS! Why did you give the contract to someone other than a master or expert vampire hunter?!"
"You told me to give out the remaining contracts before the new year for a clear out! How was I supposed to know that old contract would still be in there?!" Julio tried defending himself, but that didn't stop his boss from losing his temper.
"We cannot afford to be damaging our reputation over some…widowed street vigilante and his little pet rat from the streets! You have to fix this! Or so help me god, I'll be putting a bounty out on your fucking head!" Zenon instantly grabbed his coast and his cell phone before standing at the doorway of his office. "Which reminds me…due to your big mistake…you are being demoted from Expert to Adept!"
"What?! But who's gonna take my place?! My brother Omar hadn't even surpassed his apprentice training!" Julio whined in frustration as he clutched his hair tightly with his fingers. "Who are you gonna replace me with?! RDJ?! Pffft!" He rolled his eyes sarcastically and chuckled. But he set himself up for the response he was about to receive from his supervisor.
"You know what? That's actually not a bad idea…"
"Huh?!"
"RDJ will be promoted to Expert after this capture! In fact…I may have to do the very thing I didn't think I'd do by promoting RDJ to Master! And the kid…hmmm…I suppose I could make him a trainee apprentice for the time being?"
"You can't do that! That's upgrading both of them by two levels?! That's completely against our rules here…ACKKKKK!" Suddenly, Zenon grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up against the wall off of the ground.
"I can do…whatever…the fuck…I WANT!" His green eyes glared deeply into Julio's fearful brown eyes. To the point where he felt like he was unable to move sure to how scared he was of his ferocious appearance. "Now…call Omar and tell him to see me in my office first thing in the morning! I will be giving him a private contract to take care of."
"Y-Yes sir! Right away sir!" The military macaw answered in a stutter after being put back on the ground by his superior. Then he grabbed his coat and proceeded to head for the stairs.
"Watch out for the first…"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…Crash!"
"…Step." Zenon rolled his eyes exasperated by the fact that not one single person could give a shit about fixing the issue. "Ughhhh…You just can't get the staff these days, can you?" He spoke to nobody in particular. Closing the door behind him as he was ardent about standing face to face with the vampire that they had just caught.
So not to waste any more time on needless things. He headed for the parking lot, where he would meet his driver to head on over to meet RDJ.
Speaking Of Which…
"Got any sevens?" RDJ spoke out loud, as he was sat at a table in what appeared to be some kind of basement. So they must have been in his basement with Vicent, playing go fish to pass the time.
"Hmmmm, nope! Go fish." The blue macaw male responded causally as he saw that he picked up a card. "Got any fours?"
"Hmmmmm nope? Go fish…"
"Bullshit!" He smirked at how he responded with a stiff face.
"Huh?" Trying to act all innocent, he pretended like he didn't hear what he just said to him.
"I know you've got fours, because I looked at your hand when you grabbed a beer from the fridge!"
"Hey! I thought we weren't gonna cheat playing go fish?!" RDJ whined after throwing his hand of cards on the table in front of him.
"That's what you said about poker? Yet you cheated in the last four games." Vicent argued back as he threw his hand on the table.
"I didn't cheat in poker dude! I was bluffing!" Continuing to justify his very own actions. It didn't really matter at all to him wether he was defending himself or not. Vicent still wasn't going to be giving him the benefit of the doubt about anything. "That is a common thing that you need to do in poker if you want to win against any opponent. No matter how experienced they are or not."
"And bluffing is lying! And lying is cheating!"
"You have to bluff during poker if you want to win…"
"That depends if you had a royal flush or a four or a kind. Then you could just win the game there and then…" By the corner of the room, Angeline was sat on what appeared to be a steel bench in a cage that was entirely made of silver to avoid her escape.
"And…what would a vampire know about playing poker?" Vicent rudely spoke to the female vampire. Who only rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Listen blueberry tart!" She mocked him with another rude comment, earning an eye roll in return from him. "If you haven't guessed it already pencil dick, I have pretty much been all over the country! I've witnessed people playing poker and know the best hands."
"Well…thank you for your input, but we don't need any further clarification on best hands cherry pie!" Vicent responded angrily and stormed off to the fridge to grab himself a couple more beers. "God she is so fucking annoying!"
"I heard that dumbass…"
"How did you…I whispered that?" The blue macaw was surprisingly shocked by the way she was able to hear exactly what he just said.
"Oh, you want me to dumb things down for you, so you can understand what I am saying like a big boy eh? I am a vampire! I have the ears of a bat, which means I can hear you from a distance."
"Oh really? It's just a shame you can't read my thoughts then…"
"I can do that without any powers. You're probably mentally picturing me naked…fucking pervert!"
"Yeah you probably have mosquito bite boobs and your pussy is probably drier than the Sahara desert. And I'd probably as dusty as the ancient pyramids in Egypt!"
"Awww, are you overcompensating your muscles and words to cover up the fact that you're a virgin?"
"Ughhhh…forget it you fucking she devil!" He grumbled and grabbed a couple of beers. Joining his best friend back at the table.
"That's what I thought!" Angeline sat back on the bench and sighed heavily in discontent. "Ughhh…I'm so hungry! Can't you just give me something?"
"Here…Don't expect anything else." RDJ just wanted to shut her up. So he took out a needle from the drawer by the sink. He grabbed a belt and tied it tightly around his upper arm to stop the blood flow. Then he injected the needle into his vain, and clenched his eyes shut as the tube began to fill up with his blood.
Angeline proceeded to lick her beak and her eyes glowed a bright purple. Clenching on the jail bars tightly. "Ughhhhh…What's taking so long!"
"Give me a minute!" RDJ groaned and gradually pulled the needle out of his vain, patched up the wound with a bandage after cleaning it with an antiseptic wipe he took from a rucksack next to him. He then stepped over to the jail cell, and pointed the needle at her. "Open your beak."
Angeline nodded and opened up wide, as her fangs had extended, then he squirted the blood deep into her beak and throat. As she drank up his blood, her eyes gradually turned back to red again. And her hunger had been reduced.
"Why did you help her dude? She's a fucking vampire!" Vicent grumbled irritably, feeling quite disgusted by his little display. "Would she have shown us much kindness? No! Because all these things know how to do is bite, kill, suck blood! Bite, kill, such blood!"
"Put a sock in it dude! We must have her calm and less agitated for when the boss arrives. So I gave her a little bit of blood…"
"Yes? But now she could want the whole fucking thing!"
"If you're offering your blood to help calm me…I'd be happy to!" She grinned wickedly, still trying to figure out a way of the cage.
"Sure, why don't we stick a needle in my arm and I can drop my blood into a glass for you to drink from?" The blue male sarcastically asked rhetorically.
"Really?" Her eyes did light up a little, but soon they returned to their angered gaze.
"Nope! Psych!" He chuckled hysterically, earning an annoyed glare from her.
"AAAAAAAHHHH! I'LL KILL YOU!" Angeline slammed herself up against the cage bars, enraged by the appearance of the blue man.
"Ooooooh I'm so scared! I'm not the one trapped in a cage sweetheart!" Vicent rattled the cage a little as he came over.
"You listen to me…"
"No you listen to me!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! You're getting on my nerves!" RDJ groaned and rubbed his forehead. "Now…I'm gonna go and take a shower. You are not gonna antagonise him Angeline! As for you! Stop reacting to everything she says and just…wait here for Zenon to turn up!" The blue and gold macaw man groaned and climbed the stairs of the basement, to head upstairs to take a shower. Leaving his best friend alone with the vampire caught in the cage.
"Haaaaaa…Great! Now I'm stuck here with you!" Vicent grumbled savagely, cracking open another beer with the bottle opener.
"Well if it balances the scores, I'm not happy about it either!" The scarlet female growled, as she extended one of her claws to be a little longer. But luckily for him he didn't notice that. "But unfortunately you are the one who brought me here. What's the matter? Couldn't get a mortal girl to come back to your place for a night in?"
"Shut the fuck up before I make you shut up!" He piped up discourteously, not even bothering to pay her any eye contact. "It's okay though, you'll probably starve to death in there anyway."
"Hmmmm…you don't get how this works do you?" Angeline snarled, as she was actually using one of her claws to pick the lock on the cage door. "You are gonna regret kidnapping me little boy! Cos when I get out of here…you will have to then deal with the consequences!"
"Hmmmm…well, when you find yourself a way to 'escape' then I'm all ears! Haha…Hahaha! Yeah right!" Vicent chuckled in a derisive aspect.
Just as he was extending his further jokes and abuse towards the female…he was now completely nescient to the fact that Angeline gradually unlocked the cage door with her claw.
Her fangs extended out from her gums…and her eyes lit up a bright purple…as she made an attempt to sink her teeth deep into his skin to drink the blood of her next victim.
But…one foot just outside of the cage…managed to actually set off a huge trip wire that had been set up in case she tried to make any means of escape.
BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!
"WHAT THE…" Vicent expeditiously checked over his shoulder and noticed that their prisoner just shot up the stairs due to the alarm bell really making her head spin due to them being more sound sensitive compared to humans.
"WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?!" RDJ expressed his curiosity from the room upstairs. Trying to open the basement door. But due to the security alarm breaching, he was unable to get down to where Vicent was. "DUDE?! I CAN'T GET THROUGH!"
"Fuck! Fuck! Now I have to find a way…" Angeline tried to find another solution for an escape. But her thoughts were cut short when Vicent to try and open up the door so RDJ to help trap her again.
"Come on! Come on! Don't do this to me!" He thought to himself as he struggled to break the system down.
As for Angeline…her eyes were greatly red filled with rage and hatred towards that blue man. To the point where she would be willing to rip him apart there and then.
Unless…
She did have a little more time to think of a better solution to her problem when she used a certain power that vampires have when they are hungry for blood. For a brief amount of time she managed to make the whole world slow down, and she was able to scan and analyse everything in the room.
After moments of scanning she only managed to find one exit…an open window that was leading to the alleyway by the apartment.
"Hmmmm…maybe if I kidnapped him…then I can pay him back for kidnapping me?" Angeline evilly thought to herself, as she suddenly picked up a steel object whilst the world still stood still. Then she smashed it over the back of Vicent's head. Knocking him out flat on his butt, as unfortunately the time began to get back to reality again. And pretty soon…RDJ had rammed the door down after many failed attempts.
"HOLD ON VI! I'M…" RDJ briefly paused in horror upon seeing that Angeline had used her incredible strength to hold Vicent up over one of her shoulders. "Vicent…YOU BITCH! PUT HIM DOWN!"
"Maybe later…but for now…I bid you ado!" Speaking in a British accent, she continued to mock the vampire hunter who captured her. She bowed like a British girl and suddenly rose one of her hands up. Some red abyss of energy emerged from her hand and she paused for a moment to allow her power to charge a brief moment.
"No no no! You will not take him! You will not…"
KABOOOOM!
Suddenly, a whole flock of bats appeared around her flying into the room through the open window and shielded RDJ's vision only for a brief moment.
"NO!" RDJ panicked and picked up what appeared to be a can of aerosol and a lighter. He lit the lighter and sprayed the aerosol on the flame to create a hand held flame thrower. Burning off some of the bats as they flew around the room to aid as a distraction to keep the blue and gold macaw busy.
Whereas at this point, Angeline used her lightning speed to fly out of the open window with Vicent carried unconscious on her back.
"GET BACK YOU PESTS! GET BACK!" RDJ sprayed the flame all around him to scare off the remaining bats that were inside the room.
A fair few of them flew out of the window in the same direction where the scarlet macaw vampire took his friend. And others were either burnt to a crisp from the flames, or they were just giving up from fighting and letting themselves die.
"Fucking things! Haaaa…well…it's a good little trick there sweetheart! But unless you want your head blown off, I suggest you refrain yourself from…Wait…Vi?" RDJ observed that after this brief little encounter from the flock of bats…that neither Vicent or Angeline were in the room anymore. "Vicent?"
He scanned the room further by moving things out of the way, including tossing a few dead creatures aside to keep looking for him.
"VICENT?!" Now he commenced to panicking with a face full of solicitousness. To the point of where he was almost certainly going to get into a lot of trouble since his first platinum job had gone completely wrong. And not only did he lose his bounty…but his best friend had also been taken at the same time. "Fuck! FUCK! This is NOT good! What am I gonna tell Zenon?! How will I save Vicent?! How will…"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"RDJ? Hello, it's Zenon!" Speaking of the devil, the harpy eagle man had shown up only outside his apartment door. With his hood pulled up so that he wouldn't be spotted got any of the passing locals.
"Damnit! What am I gonna tell him?!" The blue and gold macaw male didn't really know what to do about the situation.
The options in his head were neither good or bad choices. And both of them in the end would be negative outcomes in both.
There is the first option where he could escape through the window like Angeline did. And try to stay away from his boss for as long as possible.
Then option two would be to just tell Zenon the truth about them losing their prisoner only minutes after trapping her in a cage.
Neither of them would end well for him, considering he knew how powerful his boss was.
So…he did the only thing that he believed to be his best option.
He swiftly shut the the basement door from the inside, then locked it along with the security code so nobody could break through.
He then briefly picked up any equipment he may need for the road and tied them all up in a rucksack neatly.
Then he pulled himself out of the back window and shut and locked it from the outside.
By the way that he had made this manoeuvre, he had probably done the exact same thing several times in the last few years. So it was nothing new for him.
He pulled up his hood and kept his head down as he disappeared through the dark alley and completely out of sight.
Back To Zenon…
"RDJ?! ARE YOU HOME?!" Zenon kept pounding on the door vigorously, after not receiving any answer from the blue and gold man.
"Sir? Maybe he's asleep at the moment? Or he could have got to Vincent's place?" Omar suggested as he finally caught up to the harpy eagle.
"First of all…his name is Vicent! Not Vincent! There is no 'N' after the I. And secondly, I doubt it. Because the light is on inside the house." He responded quite annoyed, pulling out his cell phone. "Hmmm…no service? Damnit…I guess we'll have to come back later."
"Still think he should be promoted to master?"
"Are you testing my judgement?!" He rose an eyebrow curiously, earning a stutter from his associate.
"N-N-No! No! Of…Of course not! You are the boss!" He fearfully stuttered whilst scratching the back of his head.
"Good…Now do us a favour and fuck off home! I'm gonna head to the bar and get drunk!" The harpy eagle stormed off in annoyance and pushed open the door.
Leaving the military macaw male alone to breathe, after once again being terrified of how his boss treated him.
Now Let's Head Back To RDJ…
Our favourite blue and gold male arrived in some kind of old abandoned apartment building on the far side of town. Right after escaping from his apartment due to the fact that he had just lost his prisoner only moments after capturing her.
The only way up for him to get up to the top was to use some kind of grapple in the elevator shaft.
After using his body wait to pull on the rope, he relaxed his body and he ended up shooting up the elevator shaft. Right before he used his upper body strength to swing through to the 5th floor.
"Ahhhhhhh…Fuck me! That's always the tough part…" RDJ thought to himself as he stretched his legs and arms.
He walked over towards what appeared to be a panel of light switches. And he flicked a few of them to switch on the lights that were inside the hall.
By the appearance of this room, it appeared to be an abandoned apartment complex that was meant to be demolished over several years ago. But instead it was never destroyed and it had decayed and rotted away.
"Haaaaa…" He stopped in front of a small refrigerator that had been plugged in by an old leather sofa. Which had mostly been torn apart. He grabbed himself a couple of beers, and a bottle opener from the side table.
He cracked open one of the bottles and placed the bottle opener back down on the table. Lounging back in the rusty sofa, as he lowered his head in defeat.
"Fuck…Fuck! Another one…Another one taken! By those…blood sucking vultures!" RDJ grumbled and took a big gulp of his beer, then wiped his beak as he thought about what happened earlier on. "I shouldn't…I shouldn't hand got in the shower! I shouldn't have left him by himself! Damnit!" The blue and gold macaw picked up what appeared to be an empty whiskey bottle and was aiming to toss it at the wall.
But unfortunately for him, he ended up throwing it out of the window. And he didn't even care…because the only thought on his mind…was the fact that Vicent could be dead right now. And it would have been all his fault.
He bashed his fist up against the podium several times to show his frustration.
Although after a few more strikes he eventually slowed down and couldn't do any more for the time being.
Pressing his back up against the brick podium, he slid down gradually to the ground and then put his face in one of his hands. He barely even managed to get out a full sentence before remaining silent to think about his terrible mistake.
"Haaaaa…Vicent…Brother…I bloody hope that you are okay! Because if anything happened to you…then I don't think I could ever forgive mys…"
BOOOOOM! BANG! BANG! BANG BANG! HCCCCKKKKKKKAAAAAAA!
"Oh god…not now?" RDJ rolled his eyes upon hearing this weird scratching and banging noise from behind a locked closet on the other side of the hallway.
He gradually forced himself back up to his feet and made his way over towards his back pack.
Then without even looking into the bag, he already knew what he wanted to take out. But the item itself in which he had chosen to take out of his personal backpack…was a bit…strange?
"Ughhhh…Fucking gross…" He muttered under his breath as he covered his beak. Pulling out a…raw lamb leg?
BOOOOOM! BANG! BANG! BANG BANG! HCCCCKKKKKKKAAAAAAA!
"Alright! Alright…" Carrying the raw meat over to the closet, he pulled out a single key that unlocked the door.
But before unlocking it he took a few deep breaths so that he could calm himself down. Because whatever was on the other side of this door…it must have really terrified him more than anything.
Once he unlocked the door, he barely even opened it and tossed the leg of bloody lamb inside the room then locked it afterwards with the key.
HHHHCCCCCKKKKKAAAAAAA…TSSSSSHHHH…TSSSSSSSHHHHMMMM…MMMM!
If the loud hissing noises and rumbling wasn't weird enough as it was, RDJ couldn't help himself but collapse onto his knees burying his face in his hands. Bursting into a stream of tears as he dampened his clothes with his watery eyes.
"I'm…I'm s-s-sorry Vicent! Im so sorry brother! I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this!" Without any other words being spoken, the only thing he wanted to do…was wait for the noises in the room to die down. Then…he can think about sleeping for the night.
Now I bet you have quite a few questions for this chapter! First, where is Angeline going to take Vicent? Why didn't RDJ stick around to confront his boss? What will Zenon do when he finds out the prisoner escaped? And what the hell were those strange noises in the room with RDJ! Want to know? Stick around for the next chapter! See you all soon.
