"Like worms." Joseph said to the man. "Oh. Got it." He understood the simple explanation. "Well, on with you then." The bouncer opened the door, and Joseph stood aside for Roy to go first. He was his bodyguard after all....
-
Royal took a step in, but stopped, talk a look around. "Looks clear." He said, in a very official manner as if taking it seriously before continuing inside
-
"Right. Good work, Ben." Joseph said as he stepped in. There was a staircase that lead down and branched to the right. The bouncer closed the door. Joseph turned to Roy. "What was that?" He asked him.
-
"What was what, sir? Just looking out for your safety is all." Royal said, slowly breaking out into a grin
-
"You're hilarious Benjamin. You...asexual...guard guy." Jospeh commented as he began his way down the stairs.
-
"Thank you, sir. Happy to serve." Royal said, going down ahead of Joseph
-
Royal entered the dark, orange lit bar. There were tables packed with people everywhere and Jazz played through the speakers positioned all around the low ceiling room. There was a catwalk, where...many, women, had taken the floor. There was a bar on the right with shelves of drinks behind it all lit with neon lights to make a fantastically cool effect. On the north wall, there seemed to be a door with a window beside it. Blinds were down on the window so one couldn't see in. "Oh god I really hope Lilly didn't end up coming here." Joseph said. "They wouldn't let a minor in here right?"
-
"I mean ... Most likely not? Unless she bribed her way in of course."
-
"Ugh...I don't want to think about that. Anyways, I'm going to the bar. Maybe I can find some leads on em. Wanna tail along?"
-
"As your security guard, it seems I have to. Don't you think? [i]Boss."[/i] He emphasized the word boss, as he moved towards the bar
-
"Uh huh. That it is." Joseph played along as he sat at the bar as well. He waved the bartender over, and the red suited man walked over. "Yes?" The pasty man asked. "Need some drinks." Joseph replied "....okay? Are you gunna elaborate?" "Agh...." Joseph seemed to struggle as he tried to think of a drink to order.
-
"Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks." Roy said, stepping up to order
-
"One Johnny coming up." The bartender said as he went to the shelves. Joseph rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
-
"It's alright sir." Royal said, patting Joseph's back
-
Joseph turned his head to the left, towards the north wall. He nodded his head towards it. "You see the office?" He asked Roy.
-
Royal quickly looked up, looking nonchalant about it as it he we simply looking for any risks
-
"Think that's where he's at?" Joseph asked Jim quietly as the bartender came back and slid them their drinks.
-
"No, it couldn't be. He'd have to be on the downlow, right?" Royal asked, picking up his drink
-
"When you have crate of dirt on the police force as well as politicians, I don't think you'd have to..." Joseph commented as he took a sip of his drink.
-
"How do you suggest we get in there to find out? Or should we bring him out?" Royal asked, also taking a sip of his drink
-
"...Hell. We could just talk to him." Joseph said out of no where.
-
"Just ask him about a potential ID he gave to Lillith Couldbourne?" Royal asked, finishing his drink quickly and putting the glass down
-
"Ya. We aren't here to bust his own show, right? Why would he not wanna meet us and potentially gain info on us? He has no reason to." "Are you two gunna keep talking about meeting the man or are you gunna actually go talk to him?" The bartender suddenly interrupted. "Uhhh..." Joseph started. "I'm not sure what-" "We all know who you two are looking for. For -blam!-s sake everyone can hear you." The entire room, including the women, nodded at the two who sat at the bar. "Well...then...." Joseph said as he awkwardly sipped the rest of his glass.
-
"Great." Royal said, patting Joseph's back. "Whenever you're ready, boss."
-
"Ya let's just get this over with." Joseph said as he stood up from the stool and walked to the office door. With Roy behind him, he knocked on the steel door. After a moment, a voice was heard. "Come in." It said.
