The Bouncer: A Surprise for Sion

-

 

“Having Fun Yet?”

 

 

 

Opening the doors to the station ever so slightly, Sion looked up and briskly hid the teddy bear in the waist of his pants, under his jacket.

There were two people at the front desk already. A man and a woman. Perhaps they were a couple?

Well whatever they were to the other, he didn't want any of them to catch him holding a teddy bear!

Real men aren't seen in public holding teddy bears!

Well that's what he thought anyway!

While waiting for them to finish up, he began to walk past them, when he couldn't help but overhear some of their conversations.

“Ah'm telling you, officer, our little girl has gone missin'! “ the woman explained with a southern accent.

“That's right!” the man chimed in. “We demand a search for her right away!”

“Yes! Our little girl was turned up missin' the exact same time a prized family heirloom of hours was stolen! A very large and rare diamondruby!”

The officer scratched his head. “I've never heard of a diamond ruby…”

“Now you know why it's so rare!!” the woman pressed. “We will pay you top dollar to ensure that she and the heirloom are securely found! If there is so much a scratch on either of them, it'll be takin' out on your hide! Do ah make mahself clear?”

The officer gulped. “Crystal, ma'am.”

“Good. Allright, dearie, let's go! The bad lighting in this place is getting' mah stomach ta turn!”

“Yes dear!” the husband agreed and escorted her out the station.

Sion watched with an eyebrow raised.

`Well that was weird.' Then he pondered about the little girl they mentioned. Could that girl be the same one that smacked him in the head with that snowball?

Since she was the only little girl running around in that area, he would say so, but her clothes had looked so poor and these people obviously looked rich. Especially talking about some rare jewel he had never heard of before, let alone knew existed. Was it even real?

Oh well, whatever the case, he took in a deep breath and prepared to step up to the desk to settle what he came there for.

“Excuse me, officer.” Sion spoke up, “There's something I'd like to know about, but first, have you or any of the other officers seen a young blonde girl around this area?”

The officer glanced up at Sion as if he were a member of a collection agency and directed his attention to the scattered paperwork across his desk. “Sorry son can't help ya!”

“Oh…” Sion sulked, forgetting about the teddy bear for a good few seconds. “…Thanks anyway…” he murmured, not meaning any of it and was about to turn to leave when he heard…

“Hey, would you watch where you're going, Kou!”

“Sorry, Dommie! I can't help it if I'm staggering! My manhood is so grateful to you for KICKING me!” he shouted, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Hmph! What manhood!? You know you haven't hit puberty yet!”

“Huh…?” Sion wondered, his mouth in a gape. Then he shook his head, choosing to deal with handling whatever they could be arguing about later and eagerly called to them. “DOMINIQUE!! KOU! HEY!!”

Stopping at the sound of his voice, before kicking Kou again, Dominique turned to Sion and her face lit up with the most beautiful purity any man had ever seen.

Glancing up at her in her solace, and relaxing out of his playful cringing from her about to attack him again, Kou became caught in another trance as he watched her bouncy curls energetically frame around her face as she waved.

“She sure is a gorgeous one.” The officer whispered to Kou.

“She sure is.” Kou replied.

“SIIIOON!!!!!” Dominique called, her voice nearly rattling the building.

Stumbling to keep their balance both the officer and Kou winced.

“And she's got quite a voice on her too!” he said, hinting a double meaning to Kou.

“Yeah…” he responded with a dreamy grin.

“You're one lucky man.”

“Hmph. Nah, you've got the wrong guy. Her man is over there.” Kou said, his smile fading as he gestured to Sion.

Kou watched as Sion happily waved back to Dominique, completely ignoring him, and proceeded to jump over the front desk, when the officer there stopped him.

“Now hold on one minute! We can't just let you all do whatever you please!” With a crooked grin he stepped over to Dominique and walked around her in a circle, secretly sniffing her scent.

“Whoo you're a sweet one. And you…” he paused, his eyes falling on an annoyed Kou “Hmm you look kinda shady. What did you do, kidnap this girl?!”

Kou winced and shook his head. “MEEE?? What?! No way! She WANTED to come with me! She—“

“That's it!” he shouted and the next thing Kou realized, he was thrown in a grungy cell behind locked bars!

“What the—HEY! Let me outta here! …It smells in here!”

“Can it, son! We've got a lost little girl on the loose. We can't risk any strange or shady looking characters around in this area!”

“But wait!” Sion spoke up “He may look kind of funny, but that guy's no kidnapper!”

“That's right!” Dominique chimed in. “He's easily distracted anyway. He'd make a terrible thief.”

Hearing that Kou smiled but Sion frowned.

“Aww thanks Dommie. You really do care!”

She scoffed, and crossed her arms. “We could always leave you HERE, you know!”

That got Kou to straighten up! “Okay okay, I'll be good!”

“You had better be! Right, Sion?” Dominique innocently asked, lacing her arms loosely around his and leaning her head on his shoulder.

Saying nothing at first, Sion glanced at Kou, then to Dominique. One look in those huge green eyes got him to forget he was even upset with Kou—for the moment.

Shrugging he sighed. “Right...”

Dominique cheerfully nodded. ”Good! Huh? Hey what's this?” she questioned, noticing something poking out of Sion's pants under his jacket.

Placing a curious finger to her chin, Dominique slowly circled him and reached out to grab at his jacket and waist to find whatever it was that he could be hiding.

“I know it's here somewhere!!” she chirped, feeling and patting around his chest and mid-section.

“Hey! HEY! Dominique! Cut that out!!” Sion retaliated, watching her every move, but didn't do a thing to stop it.

Watching from the bars, Kou simply shook his head and whistled with a grin. “Sion, you lucky dog…”

Amusing moments later, Dominique found the form of the teddy bear under Sion's jacket. “Aha! This must be it!”

“Dominique no!”

With a good pull, she yanked the bear from out of his pants, causing him to shudder a little, and held it up to the light. “Mm How cute…” she smiled then tilted her head towards Sion, some of her curls falling loosely in her face. “I never knew you carried teddy bears around, Sion!!”

“I-I don't!” he shot back and stepped upto her to snatch the bear from her but she pulled it away from his reach.

“Haha! You know, most men that have them tend to keep them at home…!” she taunted and continued to play keep away with the teddy bear.

“Come on, Dominique, it's not mine, give it back!”

“Whaat? It's not yours but you want it? Looks like someone's gotten really attached to their new teddy-weddy!!”

“Knock it off!” he yelled, lunching for the bear, but she twirled around and hugged in to her chest so he couldn't get it.

And the second she did, she winced and looked at the bear. “Oow! Something poked me!!” she said.

Behind the bars, Kou scoffed. “Damn lucky bear…”

Flipping the bear over, she took note of the partially loose seam used to sew it up and pulled the fabric apart.

And the moment she did, everyone in the room was frozen in shock as the shiny radiance of assorted jewels brightened the room with its luster.

“Wow…” Dominique breathed. “Is…is that a diamondruby…?”

The officer from the front desk got closer to them and raised an eyebrow. “Diamondruby!” Turning to Sion, he grabbed his wrist and slapped a pair of cuffs on him. “You're under arrest for attempt at robbery!”

“Wh-what!? But I didn't steal any—“

“Save it, kid!” The officer snapped and threw Sion in the same cell as Kou.

Sion landed on the floor with a thud and immediately sprang back up to rattle the bars. “Hey! Where do you think you're going! Let me out of here! I didn't steal anything!”

“Tch, you think he's going to listen?” Kou asked casually, with his foot propped against a wall of the cell and his arms crossed

“Not now Kou…!”

“Seriously, Sion, think about your situation here! There's no time to play hero and bust out of here…”

“You know…” Sion began lowly, not turning to face Kou just yet, “…none of this would be happening right now if you hadn't taken Dominique out on that joyride.”

Kou chuckled and shrugged. “You hold that against me? Dominique insisted, FYI. We were out doing you a favor!”

“A favor?! What kind of favor would put Dominique in danger?!” he asked, spinning around, a hurt expression on his face.

“Jeez, calm down, Sion. Dominique is FINE. She's a big girl. She can handle and take care of herself. Besides…” he added in a low voice, “she was the one who got us into this mess anyway” he chuckled, remembering how she climbed all over his lap in the car and distracted him.

If it wasn't for that, none of them would be at the police station right now!

“But it surrre was amazing…” he mused to himself, and unfortunately Sion overheard.

“Exactly what…was so amazing, Kou…”

Realizing he was found out, Kou innocently stared off into space, then returned his attention to Sion and smirked. “Something your little ears couldn't handle!” he said with a grin. And before Sion could respond, Kou nodded towards Dominique. “Look…”

Annoyed, Sion did so and couldn't help but feel relaxed after beholding her.

“You see that? That girl…she's lucky to have a guy like you around her. Even if you are a little too emotional at times…”

Sion shook his head and sighed. “Yeah…I'd be pretty lost without her…”

Not saying a word, Kou smiled and nodded. Sion wasn't as upset as he thought he'd be!

Ad a good thing too! He just hoped Dominique wouldn't let it slip that they used some of the money Sion was saving up to buy that Mustang---which was probably in a used car lot by now.

Sniffling playfully, Kou shook his head and turned to face the wall. “Man I'ma miss that car….”

“Huh what car?” Sion spoke up from behind Kou.

“Uh….”

Back out in the hall, the officer from the front desk took the jewel filled teddy bear from Dominique and prepared to call the couple who had just left not that long ago.

Watching him as he did that, Dominique sent a transmitting message to Volt's cell phone to come to the station right away.

Turning towards the cell, she ran to it and grabbed the bars. “Sion! Sion!!”

Hearing his name, the bouncer turned from his little argument with Kou and went immediately to the bars. “Yeah what is it, Dominique?”

“I just called Volt! He should be coming down here soon.”

“Allright, good. With him here, maybe we can all bust out of here!”

Kou chuckled and shrugged. “I'm not so sure about that!”

Sion blinked. “Huh? Why do you say that?”

“Look over there” Kou said, pointing to the front desk.

The couple had returned! And in record-breaking time!

Recognizing them immediately Sion grabbed the bars and tried to get a better look as best as he could. “Hey! Those must be that little girl's parents!”

“Little girl?” Dominique asked, her emerald eyes growing wide. Turning towards the front, she saw the officer from the front desk addressing the couple and then handing over the bear. They looked extremely pleased and relieved---especially the woman. Then looking around, concern spread across her features and her nasal pitch bounced off the walls. “Now where'uhs our little girl? Did ya happen ta find her?”

“No ma'am” the policeman spoke, shaking his head.

Then at that moment, the station doors flew open and there Volt stood holding the little girl in his arms. “Hey, I've got a missing kid here…she thought my cactaur was her teddy bear…”

“THEIF!” The wife called

“KIDNAPPER!” the husband shouted. And the next thing Volt knew, he was thrown in the same cell too!!

“WOW” Kou exclaimed with a whistle. “How'd he throw YOU in here?”

“I…I don't know…” Volt replied with a puzzled expression.

“Well at least we're all in the same place!” Sion said with a spunky smile.

“What the--? What's so great about that? Don't get all sappy on us now, Sion!” Kou retaliated.

“No! Listen up! We can break out of here with a Trinity Rush!”

“Oh! Great thinking Sion!”

Meanwhile, Dominique had been pulled to the side by the officer at the front desk.

“Huh? What is it?”

“These fine people would like to give you a reward on finding their lost heirloom.”

“Huh!?”

“Yes!” the wife agreed. “An' thank you for putting those NASTY TERRIBLE men in JAIL!”

“Yeah!” the husband chimed in.

Dominique gave them gut-wrenching expression that explained her confusion and shook her head. “But I didn't…!”

“Now now, no need for modesty!” the husband said. “Here you go!”

“Yes, you deserved it” the wife added.

Dominique's eyes widened as the couple handed her a briefcase filled with a large wad of cash. Row to row!

“JUST HOW MUCH IS IN HERE?!”

“Exactly I million dollars!” the husband smiled.

“Wow!” Dominique exclaimed, then gave the couple her most cutesy girly smile and bowed. “Thank you! “

Giving her a nod, the couple waved good-bye and left the station with their daughter behind them.

Smiling as she watched them go, Dominique accidentally picked up something the husband whispered to his wife behind the doors. “Hey that worked out great! Which bank or jewelry store should we rob next?”

Fidgeting uncomfortably at that, Dominique looked at the cash, then shrugged. “OH WELL It's mine now! Hmm it's probably enough to bail Sion and the guys out of there too. “ then she thought about it. “Hmm should I bail them out or not… Hmm bail or new outfit…bail or new outfit with 5 matching pairs of charms, chains and necklaces? One is definitely starting to outweigh the other!”

Thinking about it some more, she sighed and made her choice.

“I GUESS I'll help them out. …But they can get out of there themselves!” she decided reluctantly and began to give the officer at the front desk the money, when a wall shattering BOOM was heard and the second she looked up, Sion, Kou and Volt Trinity Rushed out the cell.

She smiled happily and jumped up and down, inwardly cheering for them. “I knew they could do it!! Whoa!!” she cried as they passed her and Sion scooped her up in the process.

Barreling down the icy steps to the station and into the snowy streets, they continued to charge until Dominique finally weighed them down and they skid across the frigid road.

“Whooooo!! Do it again!! DO IT AGAIN!!” Dominique chirped loudly.

Laughing, Kou and Sion slid over to her, while Volt simply chuckled.

“Good goin, Dommie!” Kou smiled, tussling in her hair. “You sure set those guys up really well, being able to keep a case full of money like that!”

“Yeah, I'd have to agree with Kou on that one.” Sion chimed in, also playfully messing in her hair.

“Uh, I'm not so sure you guys should be doing that…” Volt warned, eyeing Dominique's flickering expressions of annoyance and anger.

Kou just laughed it off. “Surrrre we do! What could Dommie possibly do---”

He immediately stopped joking when he saw her eyes flash red.

“Uh oh…”

“Dominique?” Sion softly called to her.

The three of them sat there motionless, watching Dominique quiver and clench her fists until….she leapt up and flashed the peace sign with a huge grin on her face. “GOTCHA!!”

“Whew!!!” they all breathed.

“For a second there, I thought we were goners!” Kou exhaled, exasperated.

“Oh, I'm still going to get you!” Dominique threatened playfully, scrunching her cute little nose at Kou. “I TOLD you I hated that name!”

“No you didn't!” Kou defended, winking “You just said not to call you that! There is a difference!”

“Not much!”

“Oh yes there is, Dommie!” Kou laughed and stuck is tongue out at her.

“KOU!!” Dominique roared and chased after him.

Needless to say, Kou loved being chased by such a cute girl!

“Nyah nyah, can't catch me!!”

“Slow down, or I'll make you slow down!”

“Oooh you'd like me to go nice and slow, eh Dommie?”

“AAGGGGHHH!! Get back here!” she yelled.

Wearily, Volt watched them while Sion stared with wide eyes. “…Dominique…?” he questioned, almost whining.

“Ah, cheer up, Sion. Come on, let's get back.”

“Back?” Sion asked, looking up at Volt curiously. Then he cringed and rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah…sorry I ditched my shift like that…!”

Smiling faintly, Volt shook his head. “Uh huh. Well it's over and done with now. But you're standing watch an extra three hours each day for a week because of that.”

Sion recoiled as if he were a child scolded by his parent, then nodded. “Yeah. Allright, I guess I deserved that haha…”

“Hmm…” Volt mused then started walking towards Dog Street.

Picking up the suitcase of money, Sion followed alongside Volt. “…By the way…if you came down here and to the police station, just who was watching the club?”

--

Two guys dressed in heavy trenchcoats and beanie caps were joking around and stopped when they reached the club. Noticing that no one was around to guard it, they sped towards the doorway.

But suddenly, a giant cactaur dropped down out of nowhere and tipped downward.

The guys started to wonder what a giant green monster was doing there but their curiosity came to an end when a giant gray text box appeared, reading “ Needleese!! 10,000 Needles!!!”

And they got needle-ized!!! Little numbers ranging in the 10,000s appeared above their heads and they fell out on the ground, knocked out with little x's in their eyes.

 

Well, that answers that!!

--

Weeks had passed, and Sion and Dominique were finally able to go out and have some time to themselves. And after much pleading from Kou, Sion had gone down to a car lot and gotten the Mustang back before it was sent off to a junkyard somewhere. Sion didn't want anyone else to be around Dominique and himself while they went out, but since Kou had gotten so attached to that car, Dominique had brought up an interesting placement for Kou.

Sitting in the drivers seat in cap and uniform, Kou waited for the couple to get back into the car. Once they did, he glanced into his rear view mirror and grumbled: “Where would the two lovebirds like to go now?”

Seeing this as another opportunity to poke fun at Kou, she smiled deviously and patted Kou's shoulder. “How about someplace where there's better gratitude!”

Kou grinned and narrowed his eyes. “I'll take you someplace where there's more gratitude, Dominique…”

“Ahem!!! Could we just get going Kou?!” she shot back with a laugh and snuggled back against Sion.

Looking between the two of them, Sion smiled and shook his head.

“Happy 3rd Anniversary on becoming a Bouncer, Sion!” Dominique whispered, closing her eyes.

Smiling, he looked over to Dominique and gently squeezed her hand and laid his head against hers.
