Chapter 9:
Music and merriment could be heard at the open roof restaurant of a famous five-star hotel. A large number of people sat around enjoying themselves and a few were sharing business ideas. It was a place for the wealth and powerful people.
On one of the tables, was a handsome man in a retro blue suit. His appearance was enchanting, but his facial expression told a different story. He took a look at his wristwatch and sighed. He had been seated for over twenty minutes now waiting patiently for the devil's arrival.
What was keeping him so long? He wondered and looked around but didn't get a sight of him except lusty ladies who were drooling over him despite the fact that they were with their men.
"Women!" he muttered underneath his breath in disgust. Naturally he was a flirt, but not today. He had more important business to handle.
"Are you here to flirt with the ladies or have a meeting with me?" A deep voice interrupt behind him which made the ladies agape subconsciously at the handsome creature that had just arrived. He was even more alluring than the first.
Lucas smirked as he knew the person he was expecting had finally come out of his shell. He turned his gaze to him.
"Speak of the devil and you shall have him. What took you so long?" He asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Nicklaus shot him a serious glance.
"Oh, let me guess... cutting off some asshole's fingers?" Lucas asked with a chuckle.
"I guess you're right," Nicklaus said and took a seat.
"Now, have you gotten what I asked for?"
Lucas smiled and took out some files in a brown envelope and dropped them on the table.
"That's all the information you need to know about the girl. But let me ask, what interest you in this one? it is not that you don't have them every day..." Lucas trailed, trying to find out what the reason behind Nicklaus actions were. He had known Nicklaus right from a young age and ladies never truly were his fancy, since he could easily get them anytime he wanted.
"What can I say? Maybe this one is different," he said calmly and smiled a little.
Lucas was flattered. He had never witnessed Nicklaus smile about something that had to do with a woman before. This girl must surely be something. "Tell me, why are you after her? Could it perhaps be because you slept with her and couldn't get enough?" Lucas inquired, raising an eyebrow at him.
Nicklaus scoffed, "I guess the little mouse has told you already."
"Little mouse? You know he's my younger brother and he tells me everything." Lucas shrugged.
"And how he sleeps with women too?"
"No, except that. But he'd tell me how you demand for the daughter of Thomas to get a deal done with him when I thought we were going to chop off his throat."
"Yeah, that I wasn't sure of. I think there is something fishy about that girl and that so-called Thomas. If I find out, he was lying to me? I would make him pay dearly for it."
"Alright, that I can assure you of it. You'll find out whatever you want to know about the girl inside those files."
"Hmm." Nicklaus sighed and snapped his fingers. A man in a black and white uniform ran up to him in an immediate response.
"Yes sir?" The man said and bowed respectfully. He didn't have to be told that if he made a blunder, he would be killed.
"Get me a whiskey," Nicklaus demanded, and the man ran towards the bar to get his request.
Lucas looked around and it seemed the ladies were still staring at them with lustful gazes. Now that he bad completed his mission, he could see one or two that trickled his loins.
"Why don't you chill out with one of the ladies here?" Lucas asked as he winked at them again.
"No, I can't. They're not of my taste," Nicklaus uttered, irritated by the ladies actions. He was surprised at himself that he got to refuse a gang of sexy whores for the first time. What the hell had happened to him over the night?
"WOW! That's shocking, I guess more for me then," Lucas inquired, as the waiter dropped the bottle of whiskey on the table with two glasses.
At that moment, Nicklaus phone vibrated from his breast's pocket. He grabbed it out and saw the caller ID. It was one of his men he sent to watch over the girl. He swiped the receive botton and placed the call against his ears.
"Boss, she's drunk," the man on the line said.
"What bar is she in?" Nicklaus asked as his expression turned colder and darker by every passing millisecond.
"Vogue bar," the man replied.
"Alright, I'll be there in just a few minutes and make sure to get your eyes on her and don't allow any bastards to come close to her." Nicklaus warned.
The man on the line clearly understood what he meant. He knew if he dared to make the slightest of mistakes in losing the girl from his sight, he would be dead meat!
"Yes boss!" He responded in a submissive tone.
Nicklaus ended the call and stood up.
"What happened?" Lucas asked, wanting to know about the trouble because, from the expression of Nicklaus' face, he knew something wasn't right.
"Nothing, much. Just going to have a fun ride. Are you coming?" Nicklaus asked with a mischievous smile, and Lucas could tell whatever this fun ride Nick was referring to, it was going to end up being bloody.
"Anytime!"
