"So what company did the girls go to?" asked Minos, as he and Gene walked down the street. Gene was stumbling along and didn't pay attention to the 11-year-old kid that was following the pair. Minos was helping Gene to walk as Gene nursed his bottle and finished it. He threw the empty bottle at the ground, which shattered into a million pieces.
"I don't remember what company" said Gene, his words were slurred.
"Damn" said Minos under his breath. Minos then noticed the kid that was following them. The kid had a rather shabby coat on over an even shabbier T-Shirt. The kid had short blond hair. Minos signaled to the kid not to follow them anymore. The kid stopped at once and walked the other way.
The two made it to Starwind and Hawking Enterprises and Gene opened the door.
"Melfina, why are you acting this way?" Aisha was saying to a closed door. She turned around to see that Gene and a man in flashy clothes came in with him. By the look of him, Gene was blind drunk.
"Boy, you must've been drunk to bring a man home with you" Aisha joked.
'A Ctarl Ctarl?!' thought Minos to himself.
"Go blow it out your kitty ass, Aisha" said Gene. "this man here wants to see you"
"Nygga?!" asked Aisha. "what about?"
"Can you cram men up your pussy?" asked Minos without introducting himself.
"Why do you wanna know?" asked Aisha with raised eyebrows.
"Do you remember what company you were at when you had this...uhh..accident?" asked Minos.
"Are you a lawyer?" asked Aisha.
"No, no" said Minos. "allow me to introduce myself. My name is Minos Charlanton and I'm the..uhh..owner of The Hanged Man"
'The Hanged Man' was yet another dive in Heifong. It was smaller than Rose's Inn, but it had a higher crime rate and fights broke out day and night. The place had female dancers only, and an unusual number of children hanged out near the bar. Aisha went there one time and people there gave her a wide berth. Even drunken people don't mess with a Ctarl-Ctarl.
"Where's that other bitch?" asked Gene.
Aisha ignored that. It was the booze talking after all.
"In her room" said Aisha. "she's being stupid about MY little Tiger"
"Tiger?" asked Minos.
"That's what I call him" said Aisha. "he's my little boy"
Gene snorted. "Jim isn't a Ctarl-Ctarl" he said in an almost sober voice.
"Jim?" asked Minos. "Jim Starwind?"
"I'm Starwind" said Gene.
JIM HAWKING was here?! The son of the famous computer hacker?? The son of the man who dived to deep into something that he was killed for it? Well...this just keeps getting more interesting!
