‘What are you thinking about Angel?’

‘I want to be part of it.’

‘But you already are my sweet.’

‘I want a little fun X.’

‘Sure babe.’

‘You trust me?’

‘Sure I do. You take the males, I’ll take the females.’

Exodus leaned forward placing his lips on hers kissing her hungrily.

He pulled away. ‘Come let’s tell the others the good news.’

Alena pulled herself up, Exodus took he hand and they stepped out of the flat going down to the club where everyone was waiting for opening.

‘Right guys a slight change of plan. The girls will entertain the guys whilst we entertain the ladies. Any questions?’

‘No.’

‘Good let’s get to work.’

‘Are you sure about this Shortie?’

‘Yeah, just follow my lead.’

‘Are you sure about this bro?’

‘She just wants a little fun there’s no harm in that.’

The punters began to enter Hargrove into the club. Alena and her friends served drinks.

A male with dark hair, and reddish streaks looked at Alena. ‘Sit down for a while.’

She smiled politely. ‘Best not.’

‘Come on the big boss man won’t say anything will he?’

She looked at Exodus then back at the male. ‘I guess not.’

He took her hand pulling her down onto his lap. ‘You’re gorgeous. You do know that don’t you?’

She smiled nervously.

He placed his hand on her face. ‘You’re too good for this place.’ He said pulling her closer to him placing his lips on hers.

Exodus stare was angered.

‘You said a little fun X.’

‘I know, but this is taking the piss.’

The male kissed her harder and hungrier his had beginning to turn deep black.

Exodus and Zephyr looked in disbelief as black tar twisted round the male’s arm twisting round the whole of his body suffocating him.

Alena pulled away from the black enameled body she looked at it unsure what had happened, then at Exodus who was still in shock. She shot up snapping the tarred enameled arm off the enameled body. It fell to the floor of the club as she ran out.

Exodus ran out of the club. ‘Alena!’

She turned looking at him. ‘I-I-I I’m sorry.’

‘Where did that come from?’

‘I don’t know. I’m sorry.’

Exodus placed his hands on her face. ‘Next time try not to give everyone a heart attack doing it in full view.’

‘But I..’

‘It’s a gift angel. Use it wisely.’

‘Okay.’

He placed his lips on hers kissing her hungrily.

He pulled away. ‘Come on let’s go back inside.’

‘But..’

‘Come on Angel. It’s one mistake one you can learn from.’

‘Okay.’ She sighed.

Exodus placed his arm round Alena as they walked away back to the club.

‘Sorry X they fled, but they won’t get far.’

‘Thanks.’ Exodus looked at Alena. ‘Go up to the flat and rest.’

She smiled walking away.

‘Is she okay?’

‘She’ll be fine.’

‘What was all that about bro?’

‘Reficul is sly. He left her a gift alright the gift of death. The black death.’

‘What about the other girls?’

‘They may already have it.’

‘So what do we do?’

‘Use it to our advantage. It is the quickest way to die I know.’
