Chapter 18

 

 

“Sure thing,” Arrion turned to Tony. “Well, go on. Inspect the merchandise.”

 

Tony moved to stand in front of Clair. He squeezed his jaw so the Vampire had to make eye contact. Then he slid his hand down and unbuttoned Clair's shirt. “There's a fresh wound here. But I can see where,” he pulled the bandage away with a loud rip as he spoke. “There were stitches healing. Not such a big shot now, are you?” Tony poked Clair with the toe of his sneaker.

 

Clair, gagged, could only glare at Tony. In the purple depths of his narrowed eyes, it was obvious the Vampire was plotting Tony's ultimate and most likely painful end.

 

“Looks like he's damaged pretty bad,” Arrion frowned as he looked over Clair's injuries from his safe vantage point. “That's gonna bring his price down quite a bit. You understand, right Boma? Who wants to yank it while looking at that?” He indicated Clair's wounds with a disdainful wave.

 

“On the other hand,” Romeo moved to pull out the gag so Arrion could get a good look at Clair's pierced lip. He couldn't believe he was about to say this. “His pretty face is still intact and you can't tell me you wouldn't whack it if you were watching this sexy mouth being put to good use.” He stuck a finger in Clair's mouth, then a second for good effect.

 

“Maybe we should be filming this,” Charlie muttered off-handedly.

 

Claire gave Romeo a foul, slanty eyed look before biting down on his fingers, really hard. Boma quickly moved to replace the gag and gave Romeo a barely concealed `I can't believe you did that' look.

 

“He's feisty, I'll give you that,” Arrion grinned.

 

“We going to discuss some green or what?” Romeo said, doing his best to not show how bad his fingers hurt.

 

“Half what I offered,” Arrion said, fishing in his pocket for one of his cheap cigars.

 

“No,” Boma stated firmly. “That's ridiculous for the trouble we went through. We want the full 100.”

 

“Besides, the way Boma talked we were bringing in the missing piece of a matched set. If that's true you're going to make back 100 easy. But give me a peek at and maybe some `get to know you' time with his co-star and I'll settle for 25.” Romeo was trying as hard as he could to sound sleazy.

 

“Good luck there,” Charlie blurted out.

 

“Sorry, but there's no set,” Arrion replied. “The young man who was going to co-star with the Vampire is no longer in our employ.” Clair's eyes narrowed dangerously and his fingers started working on the knots that bound his hands. “Besides,” Arrion continued. “I'm sure both of you boys have had plenty of `get to know you' time with the Vampire there.” He gave Romeo a side-long glance. “35 then.”

 

“45 and I didn't touch the merchandise,” Romeo bargained. “Shame about the other guy, though.”

 

“Can't do much when a twink overdoses.” Tony couldn't believe Charlie had just said that. “Not much of a market for that sort of film.”

 

Romeo looked at Clair, worried for the Vampire's sanity. Of course, anyone who knew Clair would have known that the state of his sanity was not an issue one worried about. It was what he did with his lack of sanity that they worried about.

 

The Vampire struggled to his feet, the gag being spit out. “What did you dirty fuckers do to Daisuke?!” The ropes were starting to come loose. In a few seconds he'd be able to grab the gun stashed at the back of his pants.

 

“Fuck, he's loose!” Tony grabbed Charlie's arm. “We need to get the fuck out of here. Now.”

 

Romeo kind of leaned back against the wall, forgetting his role entirely. It wasn't supposed to end this way. Hell, he'd almost had fun with the whole charade. And to him it had been just a forgone conclusion they'd rescue Dais.

 

Boma cut off the flunkies' retreat, blade and teeth bared. “Answer him.”

 

Arrion turned from Clair to Boma then glared at Tony. “Yeah, tell him what you two did.”

 

“What I did? It was that fuck up Raymund. Gave the guy more Celestial Blue and refined Bruise than he could handle. Kid reacted badly and we even tried to revive him.” Tony lied flat-out, trying not to die.

 

The ominous sound of clips being loaded into a semi-automatic told them Clair was completely loose and meant business. “What did you do with him? Where is he now?!” The Vampire had his gun and one he'd retrieved from the bag pressed to the backs of Tony and Charlie's heads.

 

“R-Raymund took off with him,” Charlie explained through chattering teeth. “He said he was going to-“

 

“Don't tell him nothing, Charlie. He's just gonna shoot you.” Tony ordered. “Besides Vampire, you want to point that at Arrion. He's the one that `inspected' every part of that cop. Forced him to do horrible things.”

 

A shot grazed by Tony's ear, shaving off a little flesh. “Arrion and I will settle our business shortly,” Clair snarled. “Now, one of you better start talking or both of you are going to regret it.”

 

“Look kid,” Arrion stepped forward. “I don't know why you're so worked up. This'll be the second time I dished out 100 G's for your sweet ass. I had an agreement with your daddy-“

 

“SHUT UP!!” Several shots raced by Arrion, two hitting his arm. Clair glared murderously at him. “Just shut up.”

 

“Claire, look out!” Romeo called as Tony and Charlie lunged for his arms in an attempt to knock him down.

 

“Now, now, Vampire,” Tony tried to reason with Clair as he and Charlie fought to control his arm movements. “Kill us and you'll never know what happened to Daisuke. For all you know, he's being carved up for science. He was half-Celestial.”

 

A black and silver blur pulled Tony up and before he know what had happened, Boma had his sword a couple inches in his flesh. “Where is Daisuke?” he asked calmly, applying pressure to the blade.

 

Clair wrestled with Charlie, fighting while desperately clinging to the guns. Arrion was creeping towards the door, hoping to escape in the madness.

 

However, there was one more player and he'd finally come to his senses. “Stay right there,” Romeo barked, gun trained on Arrion. “Or I swear I'll shoot.”

 

“Spare me and I'll tell you,” Tony bargained.

 

Charlie was no match for Clair without Tony's help but he was trying. Clair pinned Charlie, using his legs to hold the man down. Pointing both guns at his face, Clair fought to hide the pain that was radiating from his shoulder. “Now, Charlie. About Daisuke?”

 

“I never wanted to be a part of this, Master Clair,” Charlie tried to remind Clair of his past years doing odd jobs before Clair had been made Vampire and he'd hooked up with Tony. “I'm not sure but Raymund said something about changing his appearance a little and dropping his body in a dumpster for the cops to find. He said no one would even bother questioning who he was. He'd just be written off as another illegal who O.D.-ed. Especially where he'd be found. That's everything I know.”

 

“Do you know where he dropped him?” Clair asked, eyes narrowed. If he could get this man to tell him everything than maybe… Just maybe… “And Charlie was he really…” It took every ounce of Clair's emotional strength to speak. “Are you certain he's dead?”

 

“He wasn't breathing. He was out. Maybe if we could have got him help but… I don't think he made it. I doubt it matters, Master Clair. But if it helps he swore the whole time he was conscious that you'd come for him.”

 

“Clair,” Romeo called out. “Maybe we should finish this. There's handcuffs in the bag. We'll cuff them, I'll wait for Edmundo and you and Boma can go find his… Find his… Find Daisuke.”

 

“Right.” Clair stood. “Go get cuffed like a good boy, Charlie. Boma,” he turned to look at Tony as he spoke. “Well, just do what I pay you for.” His angry eyes turned to Arrion. “And as for you…”

 

“Hey boy,” Arrion raised his hands. “I was just collecting on the deal I made with the former Vampire.”

 

“Right. 100 G's and he's all yours once he's old enough,” Clair said softly. “Are you stupid? He made that same deal with damn near every dirty old man in Judoh. He made millions promising me to guys like you.” Clair smirked. “I'm pretty sure that's what got him killed.”

 

“Hey, how was I supposed to know?” Arrion took a step back. “So, how about we come to a new agreement? I can get you a new boy toy like that.” Arrion snapped.

 

“No fucking way.” Clair knelt, one gun still trained on Arrion and rummaged around in the duffel bag with his free hand. His hand emerged holding two grenades.

 

Charlie walked incredulously to Romeo and let him cuff him. He tried not to look at Tony and Boma. “I don't know what you know about Master Clair but I suggest we get while the getting's good.”

 

“Just stay there,” Romeo reached into his back pocket and pulled out a cell phone. “Hey, Kenny. What's your location? Great. From there you go through a double door and down the stairs. Get here fast. You got Giovanni? Good, I think we need him.”

 

“Well, Arrion. What should I do first? Destroy your empire or you?” Claire laughed manically as he let a few shots tear through Arrion's leg.

 

The heavy man fell, crying out. “Vampire! Come on! You've gotten a cut of all my work! I've never cheated you! Not once!”

 

“Yeah, we got along great until you decided you wanted my boyfriend in your next movie!” Claire targeted the other leg.

 

“So, uh, can we make a deal?” Tony said weakly. “I'll help you look for the kid. I know Raymund. I got a few ideas where to look.”

 

Boma turned to Claire. “Mr. Leonelli?”

 

“Hamstring him then he can ride along. We can always throw him in a dumpster, can't we?” Claire replied, eyes wide as he closed in on Arrion.

 

“No, please. Look I know I've done some horrible things but…” Tony begged.

 

“Oh boss,” Charlie squinted towards him with one eye.

 

Edmundo kicked the door open and let Giovanni go in first while he covered him.

 

“Master Claire,” Giovanni moved to Claire's side. “Put those away. We gotta find Daisuke.”

 

“What's the hurry?” Claire asked, not about to give up his grenades. “These fuckers killed him and stuffed him in some dumpster.”

 

Giovanni looked around desperately for some sort of confirmation. Seeing Romeo's face was enough. “C'mon Master Claire. Let's get outta here. Mitchal has the car waiting. We can be back to the casino in no time.”

 

“We're just in the way.” Romeo led Charlie out the door passing Edmundo he spoke quietly. “No one should have to have so little time together before they lose each other. Makes you wonder why. I mean Dais was such a good kid. He deserved better.”

 

“Romy? You serious? It's true?” Kenny relaxed his gun. “Here let me help you. They'll do what they need to.”

 

“Shouldn't we stop…” Romeo weakly tried to protest.

 

“What would you do if you were Leonelli? All the money, all the power you could want. And it means nothing right now. We're looking the other way. Besides, if I stay I'll fill the guy with holes.”

 

“I'm not going back without Dice.” Claire said softly. “Hurry up with him, Boma!” he called over his shoulder. “Go help him, Giovanni. I don't want that scum to bleed all over my upholstery.” He released the grenades into Giovanni's care. “Don't lose those. I'll be done here shortly.”

 

He retrieved the second gun and opened fire, emptying both clips into Arrion's body, laughing the entire time.
