The Boss part 1

Todays the day there coming, those guys haven't stopped watching me once. They stood in the same spots that I saw them 2 days ago, worrying some of the tenants and scaring Oleg. It impressed me actually I didn't know if it was their hatred for the old man that's long dead that kept them going or if people in this world just had a crazy amount of stamina.

The only reason I could run, so far is that this body is more like a puppet on strings for me. I may feel everything this body experiences even want to rest after I do something exhausting, but I can push it past its limits.

As I wait for those two men on my couch I hear a knock on my door with the very few possibilities it could be I get up to open the door when It was suddenly kicked open. The door swung open spraying some wood chips on the floor.

"What do you think you're doing making me wait so long out there don't you know that rude" Ross strutted in like he owned the place along with his partner Clement questioning my hospitality skills.

If I thought I had a single chance of running I would have already left, but I didn't which made me grimace inside. "you'll have to excuse my lack of etiquette I don't entertain guess much" with a reluctant smile on my face I go with the flow not wanting them to beat me up again.

"Shall we go then I think Vincent wouldn't want to be kept wanting" I try to hurry them along to get this long day I'm about to have over with when Ross stops me.

"Hold it right there your not going any were till we check you for weapons"

I look at them with indifference on the matter "ok" I hold up my hands as they check me. They pat down my gray long sleeve button shirt checking the collar and cuffs. Right after they checked my dark gray pants and black shoes.

Then my mouth, hair, they even made me take off my pants to check my butt. The door was wide open the entire time if someone walked by at this time it would be a very hard situation to explain.

With them find nothing and me feeling violated they take me outside down the street a few blocks were they had a red 1920s style car waiting. For them to have a car despite me seeing so few of them speaks volumes about these guys, whoever says crime doesn't pay is an idiot.

They shoved me into the back Clement squeezed in with me while Ross drove the car.

We were driving for about 20 minutes going past many vendors, stores, homes, and apartments. I thought they were taking me to one of those pillars in the distance but we changed direction before we got there.

A little while after that we arrive at a 2 story office building, they push me out of the car take me to a door at the back and lead me inside. There were not a lot of people inside I only saw 3 at first. They stripped me naked doing the inspection I already receive all over again.

My third leg shriveled up a bit it was really cold they give me back all my stuff again after they were finished before Ross and Clement took me downstairs.

We walk down a bit where I see a door reinforced with metal and had runes carved on it. Looking around I realize the whole hallway was filled with those runes the poor lighting in the hallway just hid them a bit.

Cleveland knocked on the door with a hatch that slid open. A dark skinned man looked through I don't know the proper term to refer to this man's ethnicity because I'm fairly sure African-American or something similar will not work with how mixed this world is.

"it's us we brought Desmond he is right here" Clement points at me while Ross pushed me forward the man on the other side looks at me for a bit before closing the hatch and letting us In.

That when I see four other people It was the dark toned man, a man with a mullet, a woman with a scar on her lip, and who I can only assume is the boss. He was a bit fat more on the lines of being chubby, he wore a tailored 3 piece dark blue suit while he was smoking a cigar I could even see the five o'clock shadow on his face from where I stood.

"Desmond sit down it's been ages since we talked" Vincent Marino pointed at the leather chair in front of him with his free hand. Ross pushes me forward a bit forcing me forward".

"Ross come-on there's no need for that the man can walk just fine enough on his own. Desmond please pardon my colleagues it's my fault for not being able to control them". Vincent Marino spoke with a kind tone when he spoke with me before he waved at the dark skin man at the door.

"Otis closes the door will you". Hearing his boss Otis that's closed the door locking it tight. Now I'm sealed in a well decorated room surrounded on all sides with 6 people. Otis was by the door, Clement and Ross moved to the wall furthest from me standing a few steps away from Otis instead of the 2 couches with a dark wood coffee table in the middle.

The thin woman with a scar on her lip was on my right standing next to an empty cell that was embedded into the wall. The guy with the mullet was to my left leaning on the wall the rooms a decent size so it would take about 10 steps for mullet man and scare face to reach me when I site down 15 for the rest.

Their boss was sitting down with another Iron door behind him 2 feet away from him. As I approach I could see runes carved on his table. With the layout of the room as it is and a door directly behind the boss even not knowing anything about runes, I could guess what they did.

As I approach the boss's desk I purposely trip myself self making it seem as though it was because of my nervousness. Allowing me to stop myself from falling by placing my hand on the edge of the desk and give it a push.

I did all this so I would know the weight of the desk in case shit hit the fan.

Vincent pushed his desk back in place as I sat down in the soft chair ready to hear what he had to say.
