Chapter 7 Lusties, near stage 

"Hey! Off the stage railings!" I barked loudly at a hairless, drunk Akita Inu, and he immediately turns around to look at me sluggishly.

"Wavey Waves... watchaaaaaa gunna do 'bout it, fuck-tard? You- you can't kill meh!" He snarled sluggishly.

"Say name like that again, I'll buy you a new bottle and smash it over ya head and shove the rest of the glass up ya ass, now OFF the railings!" I threatened. And that pisses him off as he gets off the railing, then to no surprise, he breaks the bottle on the platform and points the sharp object at me with his head leaning close to me, and all his friends watch in fear, because they know exactly who the hell I am now, all except for this dumb ass.

"I'll fuckin' fuck yur fack face up and furuck dat wittle smexy bish, Bird-"

Speedily, I got up to him real quick with a few paw-steps, lunge up to him to grasp his neck with my metal paw from the railings, and I pull him up close to my face while he stares at me with no fear in his brown eyes.

Without both of us saying a word afterward, with a deep snarl coming out of my mouth, I start lifting him up from off the stage railings, then as soon as I was going to slam his head on the edge of the stage, something tugs my long, thick golden-brown tail. I quickly look over my shoulder at my height, then look down to see none other but Birdy Fitz holding and tugging the tip of my tail with his small mouth. My red and blue eyes go wide as I drop the Akita Inu with a possible nasty mark on his neck since I was holding him with my metal paw, and I watch Birdy slowly letting go of my tail and licks his black lips.

"You're supposed to be investigating, Waverly, not hurting customers. At all actually. At least, not yet anyways." Birdy barked with a slight giggle. "Ain't that right, big boy?" He suddenly asked with a smirk on his face before sitting down on the disgusting carpet floor.

I make my eyes go back to normal and gently shook my metal paw to relax it. "Thanks for reminding- wait, how do you know about me and Casantro's conversation?"

"Conversation? About what?" Birdy with curiosity in his voice.

"You know what I mean, the 'investigation', this isn't an investigation, I'm just trying to find the real killer that killed..." I paused, then start looking around my surrounding, even behind me to check if the Akita Inu is still there, but he wasn't. In fact, no one is in this area except for me and Birdy. "...Where did the horny customers go? It's empty as shit in here."

"Well, they all went to the bathroom, I think the robot fucked up their drinks." Birdy giggled before he looks over at the backstage entrance, then he starts getting up. "And my friends are also in the back, getting ready of course, and I should be too, so if you'll excuse me..."

Woosh!

I look back down at Birdy as my big tail blocks his way. "You have information, and I need it so I can catch the killer."

"What now, detective Big Bad Beagle?" Birdy teased before putting his small, black paw on his fluffy, black chest. "I'm innocent as I'll ever be."

"Birdy, I don't know what the hell Casantro was talking about you having information on our real killer, and the fact that you don't seem to be aggressive towards me since you're friends with Klassic-"

"Friends with Klassic? Who the hell said I was friends with that prick? Gosh, he would always try to one-up me every time after I walk out of the stage, but obviously I'm always sexier than him." Birdy explained before slamming his paw on the carpet floor, and he lets out a small huff of frustration. "A wannabe, they're always pathetic."

"You're honestly making it sound like you're the killer here, but Casantro... I think Casantro told me you were innocent, I can't remember, it could just be me, but overall-"

"You think I'm innocent? Actually, what DO you think of me, Waverly?"

"...What do you mean what do I think of you?"

"Oh don't play dumb hun. I always catch you looking at me from afar while the horny dogs are leaning on their single reserved armchairs, even on the stage too... but you're always listening to my singing from afar or just near the stairs, and you would always watch me dance and hump myself against the pole while you always sip that brown liquid without breaking focus, that's just insane to me... so be honest with me 'ere..." Birdy barked in a whispery tone before walking up to me slowly with his yellow eyes gleaming up at me, and I slowly sit down to remain, or at least to try and remain tough to a beauty like Birdy. "What do you really think of me? And, if cha tell me, I'll tell ya what I know."

"...I lov- LIKE, just like you, a lot, you're just good at what you're doing, and uhm..."

"...That's it?" Birdy asked with a frown before he sits back down while he is now closer in front of me. "I expected more since you've been a quiet fan darling. Are you even eager to get a piece of me, hm?"

"I... don't call me darling, first off, and... I just want to talk is all..." I said with an awkward smile, but he just laughs at me.

"That's bullshit! You're just saying that so you can..." Birdy stops talking and starts to notice a hurtful expression on my face, which makes his ear slowly drop. "Oh... hey, I was just kidding..."

"Save it." I snarled before standing up and walking away from him. "I got work to do, I'll figure this shit out myself without your info, and without you humiliating me." I barked while walking up to these double-wooden doors that has blue lanterns on each side, and it has a metal sign that says "Dorms" above the doors. Without hesitation, I just push right through, trying to forget the... embarrassing encounter with Birdy. Second thoughts are starting to come to mind, to if Casantro's reward is worth it if Birdy is always going to be this rude, I haven't even done anything to him yet. I shouldn't let him push me around like that, or anyone really, I don't let anyone fuck me around like that actually, but... he's different.
