Job Closed; Good Work

As I walked through the brightly lit streets, I looked around, spotting a familiar bar that I went to a few times.

Entering, I dropped down at the counter, smiling slightly at the cute bartender.

"What can I getcha?"

Her voice was rough and scratchy, and it made me feel more... at home.

"Got something with cinnamon?"

She nodded, turning to look over the countless bottles lining the shelves before picking one up.

Placing a glass in front of me, she poured me a drink, saying "That it?"

I nodded, transferring her the funds for the whole bottle.

She looked at me in surprise, before shrugging.

Walking away, she returned to her other customers.

As I sipped on the strong liquor, I called Sablina.

Hearing the ringing continue, I sighed, before she answered.

"Alexandra? Good news, I hope?"

Hearing her familiar cold voice, I smiled slightly, before saying "Yeah, jobs closed. You don't need to worry about our mutual friend..."

"Good. I'll transfer the Den over in a few minutes. Where are you currently?"

Looking over at the bartender, I asked "What's this place called?"

She rolled her eyes, saying "Shamrock's Pad."

"Ah, Shamrock's Pad... yes, a classic name..."

The bartender just waved me off, a small smile on her lips as she said "Piss off."

Sablina stayed quiet, before asking "Did... something happen?"

I sighed, looking into the swirling brown liquid in my glass.

"No... nothing. Just... tired. Stressful day and all..."

"Alright. Well, you'll see the Den in a few moments. I'll be seeing you soon, Alexandra."

She cut the call, making me slump in my seat.

"I better fucking not, Sablina..."

Downing the liquor, I sighed as the warm, sharp drink flooded my system.

As I poured another glass, a woman sat beside me, her eyes filled with lust as she looked me over.

Oh yeah, I was wearing tight pants and a crop top... probably looked like an easy lay, especially when I was slumped like this.

"Hey, what's got a pretty chick like you down in the sludge?"

I furrowed my brows, looking over at the woman dressed in a tight latex bodysuit.

"Sorry, not interested."

She trailed a finger along my arm, whispering "Come on, I can help take your mind off your woes~"

I gently grabbed her wrist, making her grin, before she gasped, her face scrunched in pain as my metal hand ground her bones together.

Letting her go, I chuckled when she got up, glaring at me.

"You crazy bitch!"

Stalking away, the woman left the bar, making me sigh again.

"Not the first time I've been called that..."

"Won't be the last either huh?"

The bartender was standing in front of me, a small smile on her lips as she looked at me with slight concern.

"Damn right!"

We chuckled together, before falling into a comfortable silence.

Seeing my refusal to talk, the bartended eventually moved away, leaving me to drink away my troubles for now.

Kay PoV

I watched as Alexandra stumbled towards me, wearing tattered clothes.

The other Maidens gave her a wide birth, staring at her warily as she passed.

She sighed when she saw me, and I moved forwards, grabbing her arm and leading her towards her room.

Entering, I helped her out of her clothes, keeping her steady as she swayed on her feet.

Sighing again, I looked at the large amount of fluids leaking from her.

Guiding her towards the shower, I threw off my clothes as I joined her, gently washing her body.

"Kay..."

She mumbled my name, before leaning against the wall.

Hearing her stomach churning, I stepped back, watching as she vomited up the contents of her stomach, a light brown liquid mess.

Stroking her back as she heaved, I waited, pinching my nose at the unpleasant smell.

The water pushed the waste into the drain, eventually removing most of the stench.

I remained quiet as she muttered, making no sense as she shivered under the water.

Seeing the normally confident bundle of energy that was Alexandra this... depressed made my heart ache.

It took awhile to clean her off, with her almost snarling at me when I placed a hand on her lower stomach to help push everything out.

Finishing the shower, I dried her off and clothed her, before laying her gently in bed.

Laying beside her, I wrapped my arms around her, stroking her short hair as she burrowed her face into my chest.

I whispered "You did a good job, Alexandra... a good job..."

She shuddered in my arms, clinging tighter to me.

"C...Cynt..."

She muttered something, but I couldn't quite catch what she said.

However, she fell asleep shortly after, her breathing evening out.

Sighing, I held the weak girl in my arms, closing my eyes as I joined her in unconsciousness.

Short, but I don't know what else to add to this, and would rather leave it as is...

Anyways, yeah, bit sad, but hey...
