2024-10-29 19:42:56Collen was preparing to get dressed after having made a phone call to John making a request of his friend.
PING!
Collen glanced down at his phone. Seeing it was from Evelyn he instantly grabbed up his phone opening the text message. Hearing Evelyn and the girls would be out alone with Carlos and Joe had his nerves all twisted in a knot. He wasn't against them going out with friends. Guy or girl it was their lives to live. Even if they chose to date a man Collen wouldn't interfere. But their personalities made the hair on his back stand straight up. They were two powder kegs lying inches from a fire. Collen was just waiting for them to go off.
As Collen opened the text message, instantly he began shaking. It was one simple sentence that was enough to make him feel as though the walls may close in on him at any moment.
"Help. I need you."
Never before has Evelyn sent him a text message like this.
Collen instantly moved to his closet grabbing c

Cassie chased after Paul following him into the the booth without resignation closely followed by two of Joe's security guards.Evelyn and the group all gave pause by the door eyeing both Joe and his security guards."You are sure he is almost here?" Kendra whispered."Trust me. If he were naked in his bedroom and saw my text message, I would find it shocking if he didn't run out of the room forgetting both his clothes and keys.""Must have been some text message?" Daphne asked in surprise. She was well aware of Collen's feelings for Evelyn, and she couldn't rightly blame him either. Evelyn was an amazing woman. If Collen were to announce he would move mountains for her. Daphne would one hundred percent believe his words that was just how in love he was with her and anyone with eyes could tell."It is more the type of text. I have never sent him one asking for help before.""Really?""Ever hear of the little boy who cried wolf?

CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!The sound of more than forty eight car doors opening and closing resonated in front of DayDreams as men poured from the separate vehicles. Although many looked well groomed and wearing suits, there were some who looked as though they may belong on a street corner dealing drugs. T shirts, jeans and tattoos covering their bodies.The moment Collen took his first step forward, the rest of the men began flow following behind him."Hey isn't that-""I appreciate you coming along Brick.""No problem sir, I brought along the best I could get ahold of on such short notice with many spread out through the city. Most of the men work directly for me but there are some street level men but all came from military backgrounds. The proven brother's know exactly who you are. The rest just know you are an important man to the organization.""Thank you again. It should be more than enough.""Collen!" John call

A little before in downstairs of DayDreams.As if the flashy dressed men in the front didn't already command enough attention marching behind them was over forty men each one not even glancing in the direction of the clubgoers who were staring at them with a questioning gaze. They were there with a mission, a single purpose that in this moment commanded one hundred percent of their attention."Collen, John! Mr. Davis." Dane ran over to the group looking as though he had just seen a ghost moments ago. "They went into a privacy booth my men tried checking on them but they were rebuffed... I am going to assume you already know he has his own little small army with this show you have going on.""Yup. Dane it would be better for you to close the club for the evening. I will compensate you for the losses later.""Fuck losses. I wouldn't even have a club without you. And they have what is damn near my sister in law." Dane mumbled pulling out a gun and racking ba

Back to the PresentCollen and John stepped through the door looking around the room.'Thank god they are still okay.' Collen breathed a sigh of relief after having worried that Joe would try harming the girls before Collen had the chance to arrive."W-What the hell! Where the hell is a Terrance!?""Oh. Don't think I saw him out there." Collen hummed making his way towards the girls. Seconds after Collen turned his back to the guard who was standing off to the side of the door began reaching out towards Collen who whirled around glaring at him coldly. "Don't even think about touching me."The guard glanced towards Joe who waved his hand dismissively completely unaware of what was happening outside the door."Though I didn't see your friend Terrance, the rest of your friends let us in though. Rowdy bunch, they definitely have been indulging with the alcohol though. You are going to be facing one hell of a bill." Collen shrugged his shoulders.

The girls were outside the room leaning against the wall. To say Evelyn was just a little stunned to step out and find Brick and his men bowing to her was most definitely an understatement. Though Brick was insisting they should all relax it was a little difficult to do with Collen still inside the privacy room. "Would you all care for some drinks?" Sylvia and Dane approached smiling as though it were just another business as usual sort of day despite the fact Dane was currently wearing an all white suit that had blood splatters all over it, they both had giant smiles on their faces. Though neither would admit it they were in need of some serious decompressing. When Sylvia saw the brawl happening upstairs, she came in swinging with a serving tray. "A-Are you being serious?" Cassie asked unsure. Her head was reeling. As it turned out Joe was a complete asshole far beyond her greatest expectations, Collen had inside information she would give almost anything to obtain,

"Ehhh Umm... I suppose I can see how one would imagine this may be my fault, but -""Ha! Because it is your fault." Collen scoffed rolling his eyes at Carlos. "You were the one that brought that piece of shit into the photoshoot. Then you led Evelyn and the others into this trap. How fucking clueless can you possibly be?"""P-Please I never could have even began to imagine Joe having the spine to commit such a heinous act. I mean I always would walk all over him and he never would say or do anything against me.""For fuck sake. So the guy pretty much snapped just because of his dumb ass misconception that he was someone better than Collen in his own mind? You fucking rich people.""Well Bruiser... Since founding your own security company, you are now among the rich.""Okay so we will say the rich who are born into money.""Please Collen I swear! I could care less about the other girls, but I would never place Evelyn anywhere

As Collen was able to peel the girls off of him he couldn't help but smile. Apparently all of the men present felt the same way because everyone still present were all smiling at him while he was straightening himself out."You're the man boss!""I would give almost anything for your kind of luck boss!"Collen couldn't even bring himself to admonish the men for calling him boss in front of others at the moment. He was to happy from the hugging, boobs in the face, and more so that he was able to pull all of the girls from that situation with them still smiling.'I will give everything I have, if it means them keeping those smiles.' Collen waved to all of the men who were currently moving the prisoners downstairs. Just as Collen had imagined, sure enough some of Joe's men died in the battle upstairs even though it was a melee, the steel batons packed more than a small punch, and if the people were being forced to give it all in the fight or lack

"Collen! Did we hear screams?" All of the girls were sitting at the bar having a drink being served by Margo, When they believed to have possibly heard the cries from outside the club."I don't believe I heard any screams?" Collen replied shaking his head denying having heard anything.As much as they would like to take Collen's word for it, one person hearing things could very easily be dismissed. But when every person present were quite certain they heard screaming, that seems a bit of a stretch to be mistaken. Sure it may not have been screams, but it was very clear there had been some noise. Though out of a mix of a love and or respect depending on whos perspective you were to view it from, everyone chose not to pursue the subject."So ladies. I believe we can leave the cleanup to Brick and Dane. Ready to go home?"Cassie tilt back her glass downing it's contents. "God knows after tonight I'm more than ready. S-So J-J-""Cassie I'm not su

Elsewhere. "Sir we will be arriving shortly." "Aye. Thanks lad." An older man thanked his driver.. Sitting in the backseat of a luxurious sedan was an older man in dressed head to toe in both style and decadence. His appearance, voice and manners all refined almost to perfection, his aura commanded your attention. Yet he was currently smiling ear to ear like a giddy school boy. "It's been some time since I've seen you this excited sir. Are you sure it's okay for you to arrive without announcing yourself ahead of time?" "Bah. Now where would the fun be in that?" "Well I'm just saying sir. Someone of your stature should be recognized. You're far from a nobody." "Aye I suppose one could argue that, but I've never been one to enjoy my status. Besides there's a young man I wish to surprise." Backstage of the charity event. "Alright hurry now. We only have so much time to fix this disaster." Evelyn stated glancing back over her shoulder while maintaining a brisk pace. "Wait..

Present day."Evelyn!" Tatianna cried out in excitement holding her arms out preparing for a hug. Then there was Aurora. Every time the spotlight managed to find it's way to her, her silhouette managed to shrink. But as soon as the subject changed or Tatianna managed to deflect it away from her, Aurora would begin to recover. But this moment? Her silhouette shrank so much she could barely even be seen as a shadow.'That's Evelyn Constantine! That's Evelyn Constantine!' Aurora was currently in melt down mode. Her face was a bright tomato red. It wouldn't surprise her in the least if steam was visibly bellowing from her ears.'T-Two s-super models... Wait no three! AND I LOOK LIKE THIS!? Dear god Any other day I would pay to be in the presence of these women, but why today of all days do I have to look like a train wreck!?' Aurora clenched her teeth and eyes closed trying her best to prevent tears welling up in her eyes and furthering her disappointing appearance. Her current wardrobe,

"Think you can fuck with us !? Both of you can go to hell!" Sven roared charging at Collen. He was committed to his actions. Once in a while a little blood just had to be spilled. Of course it never did look good in the headlines, and would bring heat down upon all of the gangs in the area. But this was all acceptable. Police attention could be bought, and even if they were to launch an investigation, there was only one thing worse. A loss of respect. If the people you stand above don't respect you, soon the payments begin coming up short, then they'll stop altogether. Soon enough individuals, and neighborhoods will stop complying. That would leave you with two options. First uproot and find another neighborhood who doesn't know any better and crack a few skulls so to speak. The second. You crack every skull that speaks out against you. But at that point you've allowed a wound to fester, and it's only going to get worse. Instead of keeping a firm hand with one or two individuals from

"Huh?" Crutches stood dumbstruck. He had never once so much as uttered a word to Sven let a alone beat him to a pulp and send his car flying into traffic. 'Shit I'm still recovering from having my ass beaten to a pulp, I'm not gonna go out looking for a fight in this condition!' Sven smirked pointing his nose in the air. "As you can see it was a close fight. After kicking his ass I even showed mercy... I was the bigger man, chose to walk away of my own free will.. Then the bastard sucker punched me! And while my head was still spinning he began raining down blow after blow. Absolutely no honor among adversaries. 'No honor among adversaries!? I was never an adversary to begin with! I mean I won't say it's something I wouldn't do, but damn! If I'm going to be accused at least allow me to throw a few punches!' He thought as his mouth hung open bringing a whole to level of dumb to his expression. "Huh?" Tatianna uttered in complete dismay. 'I expected Sven to pull some shady shit in r

"So who are we looking for anyway?"...!!!'Oh shit! I hadn't even thought of that! What the hell am I going to tell Aurick!? Oh hey by the way that's the person who whooped my ass, sent my car flying into traffic, fingered me to the person who's car it hit, and the police! By the way it's also a girl who maybe weighs one hundred and ten pounds top!' Sven thought to himself, his eyes squeezed shut, clamping his hands to his head shaking it side to side. Sure Aurick was a long time friend, and if there's anyone who would possibly let this go it would be him. That being said some times friends are the ones to give you the most shit above anyone else. The closer you were, chances are the more shit you'll take."ERRr.... About that... " Sven mumbled.'Man I'll just have to bite the bullet and tell him what happened. Obviously neglecting to mention the information about how I've been extorting the boss's clients after their debts were paid.'Sven sighed and began glancing side to side loo

"This is bullshit I'm telling you it wasn't my fault! RAAAAH!" Sven roared raking his dinner tray back and forth across the jail cell bars he currently found himself comfortably forced into, and when we say comfortably it was probably as comfortable as sitting on an angry porcupine. "As much as I'm enjoying these fine one star accommodations... LET ME THE FUCK OUT!""For the love of Christ all mighty will you shut up already!" An officer sitting at his desk groaned. Unfortunately he was the lowest ranked officer in their precinct therefore got the desk closest to the jail cells housing all of the lovely intoxicated and angry people who would love nothing more than to shove a stun gun up his nostril. "You know why you're in here!""No! No I don't know why I'm in here I'm telling you it's that -""It was your car that rolled onto a main road correct?""Well yes but it was -""There was an awful lot of money in your vehicle for someone who's records show as unemployed.""So what!?

"Ты хочешь снова упомянуть мою семью!? Я засуну свой кулак тебе в задницу и вытащу твою голову оттуда!" (You want to mention my family again!? I'm going shove my fist up your ass and pull your head back out of it! ) Tatianna roared pivoting on the pads of her foot and driving her knee hard into his ribs.CRACK!Though it wasn't super loud, there was certainly the audible sound of something fracturing or breaking."NYAAAAH!" Sven cried out in agony. He was usually the one doling out the beating not receiving them. To pour a little salt on the wound, it happened this was the first time he ever had anything either broken or fractured. Tatianna on the other hand was trying her best to control her laughter at his noises. She may have seen an anime or two in her time and couldn't help but feel his sounds were that of a cat girl doing the pawing motion.'If this is what passes for a gangster these days I don't ever want to meet who they consider the weak.' She shrugged."NYoo BEITCHEEEEEEE

A few minutes prior to Tatianna's encounter. "Yes boss.. Yes I'm on my way to McDonalds right now.""Ah is it the one the Devine girl works at?" A gruff yet smooth Russian accent came through the phone's speaker."Yes boss that's the one. What can I say it's my favorite." The man driving responded"Haha I can imagine why. It's quite the view if you know what I mean. But that reminds me, their debt was paid off I believe two months ago, you made sure to tell them and give my condolences about Mr. Devine right?""Of course boss. They were very touched by your words and the fact you were willing to knock down their debt to the exact amount borrowed after his death. Very generous if I do say so myself.""Good, good. Keep up the good work Sven. Though I lost that extra money, word will spread how compassionate and great Yuri is. People will flock to me for loans!""Hehe no doubt boss. Ah I'm here now." The man named Sven declared pulling into a parking spot shutting off his car. Sven look

"It's true! I had absolutely no desire to become a model! I was perfectly content working at McDonalds minding my own business when someone almost forced me to become a model." Tatianna declared with a straight face. ...No one present truly knew Tatianna which was currently their biggest dilemma. Assume she's joking and laugh? You could but what if she was being serious? Wouldn't laughing make them downright insensitive?'Sometimes I can't help myself.' Tatianna smirked watching the group look back and forth squirming under the imaginary pressure. "I'm joking. Well about being forced at the very least. Unable to maintain her straight face Tatianna emit a small chuckle her beautiful smile returning to her face.Everyone had been staring at her slack jawed especially James. He himself had never encountered any career models who hadn't grown up with that burning desire to launch a career, who wasn't willing to fight tooth and nail to follow their heart!
