“Finally,” Riki sighed, drawing down his dark shades to shield his eyes from the glare of the sun just outside the grand doors of Eos. “Three hours later, and we finally were released by the warden.”

“Wow! I can’t believe how much I missed being outside!” Fidget cried, throwing his arms around Niko.

“Fuck, it’s like I’ve been trapped in a cave and this is the first time I’ve seen light in years,” V groaned, stretching his arms above his head.

Riki growled at the threeo. It was because of them his ass hurt right now.

“Just as you wanted. All of my Blondies have been convinced to allow your gang members, including Jade, Lilly, and Niko to journey with you outside of Eos,” Iason said the moment they were alone.

Riki glowered at Iason from his seat on the sofa. “Convinced? More like you planned for this to exactly happen, just so you’d have my nuts in your grip.”

Iason laughed. “When have your ‘nuts’, as you’ve crude put it, not been in my grip, Riki?”

Riki leaned back into the cushions as Iason loomed over him. “Considering my answer would only piss you the fuck off, I’ll refrain from telling you.”

“Censoring yourself, Riki?” Iason whispered, trailing a finger down Riki’s chest. “How unlike you.”

Riki hissed out a breath as Iason flicked his nipple. “Yea? Well, knowing you, you’ll use anything I say wrong to keep me from going into the city.”

“Haven’t we both already agreed the necessity of your mongrel talents being needed to capture the assassin set out to extinguish one of my Elites lives?”

Riki’s knees automatically parted as Iason settled his knee between them. “I also know—by this cold gleam you get in your eyes—when you’re saying something but mean something else.”

Tensing as Iason sank his long fingers into his hair, growling when his head was yanked back, Riki glared up at Iason.

“How well you know me.”

Riki winced as his long hair around was wrapped around Iason’s wrist. Unable to move his head, Riki could only feel as Iason lifted his shirt and moaned as Iason pinched his nipple. “We don’t have time for this,” Riki gasped. “Let me go.”

“Ah, but we do,” Iason whispered, kissing the corner of Riki’s mouth. “I believe I said you were to give me absolute obedience, didn’t I?”

Riki moaned as Iason grasped him between the legs, before unbuttoning his pants and slipping his hand in to stoke his hardening length. Biting his lips, Riki rasped, “The deal was for when I left Eos.”

“Think back on my words, Riki. I said, for my assistance, you were to give me your absolute obedience. I said nothing about it starting after you left Eos.”

Lowered lengthwise down onto the sofa, Riki’s mind blanked as Iason’s tongue trailed a hot wet path down his chest and stomach to lick the tip of his—

“Yo, Riki!”

Startled, Riki covered his surprise by pushing his shades higher up the bridge of his nose.

“You’re face is all red,” Fidget pointed out.

Riki glowered at Fidget when the mongrel scrunched his shoulders, and covered his mouth daintily with just the tips of his fingers.

“Were you thinking of something naughty, weren’t you?” Fidget giggled.

Sky grinned at Riki. “Maybe his thoughts were about how he got that big red love bite on his neck?”

“Had a little fuck and run before going into town, did ya?” V laughed.

Riki stepped up to V and socked the taller mongrel in the gut. “Yea? And what about the fresh bite mark I saw on your stomach when you stretched?” Riki asked.

“Fuck man! Give a brother a break, would ya? I just ate,” V grumbled.

“I think everyone had a little sometin’, sometin’ before they left, if you feel me.” Fidget wiggled his eyebrows, elbowing a depressed looking Jade in the side.

To Riki’s annoyance, Sky gave him a wicked grin before throwing his arm around Jade’s shoulders and saying, “Don’t be sad, Jade. When you get back, just go up to your Blondie and tell him you wanna do it. It’s better than playing hard to get, and making your Blondie wonder what it is that you want.”

“I think we made a few enemies when we freely walked out,” Lilly quickly commented, tucking a lock of his long hair behind his ear. “Did you see the way the pets in the lobby glared at us?”

“Are you kidding?!” Fidget laughed. “I can still see the little jealous bitches looking at us from behind the clear shield doors.”

Beside him, Riki heard Katze sigh softly as V and Fidget blow kisses at the pets looking at them.

“Do you truly believe splitting up is the right action to take with this bunch?” Katze asked as he motioned to the four black, darkly tinted, vehicles up to the curb.

“No,” Riki replied. “But it’s already noon, and I’ve been ordered to return to Eos an hour after sun down, with everyone else. That doesn’t leave my boys very much time to dig up the info we’ll need.”

“Then I suggest we begin,” Katze replied.

Nodding, Riki pointed to Sky and Lilly. “You two will be venturing to Ceres to look for the members of Bison.” Riki pinned Sky with a serious glare. “Watch Lilly’s back, Sky. That’s all I need is for someone to try to kidnap his pretty ass, and for Lilly to accidentally create an orgy or his own harem in his hast to defend himself or you.”

“I have yet to master control over the new strength of my gift,” Lilly said. “However, I know the difference between controlling someone with a sex scent, than turning them away with a fear scent from the experience I had because of our last fight.”

Riki shrugged. “Yea well, just remember, Lilly, it’s your ass if you fuck up and Mikhale finds worshipers camping out in front of Eos because you couldn’t keep it under control.”

Turning, Riki looked at Fidget and Niko. “I need the both of you to check out the factories in and around Ceres. Find out if any suspicious people have been messing around the area. And for fucks sake, don’t make me regret pairing the two of you together,” Riki said as Fidget and Niko looked at one another, and they tried to cover their glee with failing looks of seriousness.

Shaking his head, Riki said to V, “I need you to wander around time and charm the locals into giving up information about anyone fitting Rio’s description, and—“

“Hold up,” V said. “I’m getting sent out on my own? Now I understand Lilly going with Sky. Getting anyone to give anything up in our home town without cash is like getting a scared virgin to give up their goods. And Fidget’s way of escaping any place he’s in with Niko’s knack—if he’s skill hasn’t rusted being an uppity servant—of taking, and tricking his way out of trouble. But what you’re asking is more than I’m capable of,” V admitted. “We both know that to get what we need, in the timeframe we have, I’ll need Jade’s skill.”

“No,” Riki said firmly. “Jade comes with me and Katze.”

“He’s right, Riki,” Katze interjected. “We don’t have time. I have only you to trust in what you say about the skills of your crew. However, V is correct. We do not have time to waste. V has one of the hardest tasks out of everyone else. His clothing marks him a pet, and people will not take him seriously if he were to ask questions. With Jade by his side, V will be able to get his information ten times faster. Together, they can find Rio faster than V doing the search alone.”

“After a month in Eos, my gift is stronger than ever,” Jade quickly said when Riki was about to object. “I want to go with V and be of help.”

Looking at Jade’s hopeful face, Riki cursed. “Fuck, fine. V, your punk ass better watch Jade, and make sure nothing happens him.”

“Do you think I’m stupid?” V said. “If anything were to happen to him, I’d have you and that behemoth of a Blondie Jade wants to bottom after me.”

Riki took Jade to the side. “Kid, if anything happens, you take everyone down. Do you understand?” Riki whispered. “Protect yourself and V. Don’t take shit from anyone, got it?”

Squeezing Jade’s shoulder, Riki released the boy after Jade nodded. “Alright, bitches, lets get moving. Remember, you all need to be back here an hour after sundown.”

After the twins and V saluted him, and chorused a hearty, “Aye, aye, sir!” the pairs hurried to their waiting vehicles.

“Worried, Riki?” Katze asked.

“I just paired up Niko, Lilly, and my own kid, with the three craziest mother fuckers I’ve ever known,” Riki muttered. “And Sky, Fidget and V all have free passes to do whatever the hell they want without fear of consequences.”

Riki could feel a headache forming as he watched Fidget hang out the window of his moving limo to hoot at a passing Ruby Elite. “Niko and Fidget are my biggest concern,” Riki said as he and Katze walked to their own private hover car.

“Then why pair them together?” Katze said, after telling the driver his services wouldn’t be needed, and getting behind the wheel.

In the passenger side, Riki said, “Because, in Guardian, when Fidget and Sky were separated, Niko and Fidget were inseparable. Even with the years that have passed, they know once another in and out. I need the fear the older mongrels feel towards Sky to get answers quickly, and Lilly paired with him will get the job done faster.

“Fidget may act like a carefree fool, but, with him, the job will come first before play. Niko’s craziness, his ability to start shit and talk his way out of it, if, like V said, hasn’t faded, then he’s the best partner for Fidget who starts fights and adds fuel to the fire to watch it burn higher.” Riki rubbed his temples.

“Yes, Niko does have a way of getting himself out of trouble. Although the games he’d played with Sir Gabriel did catch up to him in the end. Well, no point worrying about it now,” Katze said, turning into traffic. “Just concentrate on what we need to do now.”

Riki nodded. “This will have been the first time I’ve been back in Guardian since they kicked me out when I was twelve.”

“Nothing has changed,” Katze mumbled.

Riki chuckled. “Well, after today, something will.”

oOoOoOoOo

Getting out of the hover car, Riki glanced up at the forbidding gates of Guardian. Frowning, Riki couldn’t help feeling a sense of dajavu as guards came out to unlock the steel, barred, gate to allow him and Katze entry.

Looking behind him, Riki half expected a cloaked woman to be crying—hiding—at the corner of the nearest building. And strangely, not knowing why, Riki tried to convince himself he did.

“Riki?”

Shaken, Riki glanced at Katze and shook his head at Katze’s questioning look. “Nothing, man,” Riki muttered.

“You seem spooked,” Katze quietly said as the guards drew near.

“Wouldn’t you be if you were stepping back into the place you had nothing but unhappy memories about?” Aggravated for no apparent reason, Riki snapped when a guard grabbed him by the shoulder. Twisting the fool’s arm behind his back, Riki snarled, “Touch me again, mother fucker, and I’ll tear your arm off. Got it?”

“Y-yes!”

Shoving the guard away from him, Riki stormed past the uniformed men to the entrance into Guardian.

“I think it’s more than that,” Katze commented as he glanced over his shoulder to where Riki looked. “What did you see?”

“Nothing,” Riki irritably said. “Or, at least, nothing that makes any sense, anyway.”

“Mmm…”

“Don’t be over thinking shit, Katze.” With his hand in his pockets, Riki kicked the door open and walked into a darken hallway. “Shit…you’d think they’d open a window or somethin’ to let some sunlight in this shit hole.”

“As I had said when we started our drive, nothing has changed from the time you and I were here.” Katze took the lead, taking Riki down the unfamiliar hallways and strange numbered doors before stopping.

“We’ll be talking to the director.” Katze smiled at Riki. “His son is a little…difficult to deal with. However, he has been chosen to take over once he turns of age.”

Riki shrugged. “So? What does that have to do with me?”

Katze chuckled. “It’s just a fair warning and a request not to hurt him, should the young man anger you.”

“Yea? Well, I’m not making any promises to you, Katze. If this brat pisses me off to the point that I need to bust his head in a few times, then I will.” Riki motioned to Katze knock on the door. “I’m not here to make friends, Katze.”

“Iason will not be pleased if you cause trouble, Riki.” Katze knocked on the door.

Riki laughed. “Nah. Iason knew full well that I would be. He even made it clear to flash my pretty little ring he locked onto my fucking finger should some little bitch get all uppity with me.”

Katze glanced at the large ring, and the black jewel centered on it. “You would actually use Iason’s power?”

“Nope,” Riki said as a loud voice called out for Katze and him to come in. “But I figure the pricy little trinket will do some major damage when I slam it into someone’s face.”

Katze snickered. Opening the door he and Riki entered the office.

With his back to the wall, Riki studied the middle aged mongrel with a full moustache, seated behind a small desk. He’d already been informed that a mongrel ran Guardian, but Riki hadn’t known about the fact that the mongrel had a son. A real son, like he had Jade…kinda. A true bloodline conceived from a coveted female. Riki had covered his surprise when Katze had told him, but his interest in the mongrel’s son had faded the minute the younger mongrel opened his mouth.

Every disrespectful word Manon said to Katze. Every sneer and verbal expression of his arrogance made Riki want to beat the shit out of the little prick. But Riki held back from the looks Katze shot at him.

They needed the location of the man named Latzen’s room Katze came seeking, and Riki knew if he rearranged the brat’s face, then, regardless of the fear Riki saw in the older mongrel, Judd’s, eyes, they’d be denied the information and the precious time they had would be wasted.

“And you. How the hell are you?”

Leaning against the wall, Riki said nothing.

The kid glared at him. “What? Are you this dickless prick’s bitch?”

“Manon! Shush!” The older mongrel hissed.

“Why should I?” Manon said. “Why should we do anything for them? And why do we need to be careful of this long black haired guy for?”

“Why don’t you listen to your old man before you get yourself into trouble, boy,” Riki said, staring at the younger mongrel’s father as he spoke.

“Or what?” Manon sneered.

“Judd,” Katze said. “Your son has already—unluckily—gained the eye of my boss. It was only because of your loyalty, and my plea to him that saved your boy the last time. I suggest you take control over his misconception of power before he loses his head. He will not forgive a second bout of insubordination. You are lucky enough to get a first.”

Riki silently sighed in annoyance when Manon stupidly demanded an explanation to Katze’s warning. “Katze is diplomatically telling your pop’s to shut your month before it’s permanently shut for you.”

Manon stood from his seat next to his father. “Who the hell are you?”

Riki straightened. “I’m the fucker who’ll snap your bitch neck if you don’t keep your fool mouth closed.”

Not insulted by the way Manon looked him up and down dismissively, Riki waited for the kid to make his move.

“There is no need for you to involve yourself, Riki,” Katze said, having stood when Manon did.

“Riki?” Judd whispered. “R-Riki the Black? Riki of Bison?”

Riki raised his brows. “Yea?”

“You know this asshole, father?” Manon asked.

“Riki Mink…” With a panicked look, Judd stood and grabbed his son by the arm, yanking him back. “Forgive him, sir, my son meant no disrespect to the Mink household.”

Riki Mink? Mink household? What the fuck? How the hell did this guy know him, and what the hell was the crap about putting Iason’s surname onto his? Riki opened his mouth to demand to know what shit Judd was going on about, but was cut off by Katze.

“You now know the identity of who is with me, Judd. I’m sure you, and your son, will keep this sensitive information to yourself.”

Judd forced his son to bow when he did. “Y-yes, Mr. Katze! And the room for the deceased teacher you are looking for is on level S, down hallway H, his room number was forty-seven. Nothing has been touched since the time of Latzen’s death. And, please, accept my son as your humble guild.”

Riki and Katze stepped out of the office. “The what fuck is going on, Katze?” Riki said out of the corner of his mouth. “Why did that ball-less prick call me by that name?”

“Have you forgotten that you’d made a name for yourself before Iason took you?” Katze asked. “No matter how much time passes by, Riki, you will always be remembered.”

“I know I made a name for myself, Katze. I worked my ass off so that when someone said my name they’d instantly knew who I was, and also know I wasn’t someone they wanted to fuck with. I’m talking about why Judd called me Riki Min—“ Riki paused to glare at Manon who—pissed—began his way down a dimly lit hallway.

“It is interesting, isn’t it? How would Judd know you by those names?” Katze said, bringing up the subject without actually bringing up the main subject. “Guardian makes it a point not to know the on goings of Ceres residence.”

“Could we please get going? I don’t want to be stuck with the two of you all day.”

Riki and Katze turned their heads to Manon. “Look, you little shit,” Riki said. “Let me make something clear with you. I don’t give a rats ass if you’re some pure bred mongrel with both a mommy and a daddy. You talk to down on me again, and I’ll rip your fucking throat out. You feel me, bitch?”

“Yea, whatever,” Manon said dismissively.

Katze’s stopped Riki as he took a threatening step toward the Kuger clan heir. “He’s not worth the effort, Riki.”

“Sure he is,” Riki said, shrugging Katze’s hand off him. “What isn’t worth it, is having to answer to Iason about why I got thrown into some darkroom with no means of escape, because I decided to twist that little shit’s head off.”

“It wouldn’t be just you who would have to answer to Iason, Riki.”

“You’re right, so you’ll understand why I’m not going with you.” Riki turned and started in the opposite direction.

“Where are you going?” Katze tiredly called out.

“I’m going to look for the can.” Riki waved as he walked away. “Don’t stress, Katze. I’ll catch up to you in a bit.”

“Riki!”

Riki kept walking, taking the first turn and immediately opening the first door and stepping in, not wanting Katze to stop him. After so many years, Riki wanted to finally roam around Guardian and explore without anyone stopping him.

“Who are you?”

Closing the door, Riki looked around the small musty smelling room and the strange scorch marks that marred the sickly yellow walls that—in one point in time— there had to have been a fire within the confines of the room.

“Hey, mister, I asked you a question!”

Riki peered down at the small scowling face of a young mongrel no older than six or seven. “Who the fuck are you?” Riki said.

The children gasped at his foul language.

“A-are you our new instructor?” A pale little boy asked, seated behind the bolder child.

“Instructor for what?” Riki ventured into the shabby class room and sat on the edge of desk stationed in the front of the class.

“Um… “Life lessons”,” Another little boy said. “We are to learn about how to get a job and what to expect when we go out into the real world.”

“Life lessons?” Riki muttered. Spying a tattered book on the desk, Riki thumbed through it before tossing is to the side. “You brats can’t have been out of your nappies for more than a year, and you’re already getting talked to about this crap? And the shit in that book won’t help you.”

Riki glanced at the walls. Katze had told him the man he wanted info on had died in a fire. Was this the room? If it was then Riki wanted to know, and if having to talk to these kids until their teacher came, then he would.

“Let me tell you a little about what you need to do to survive out in the real world, kids.” Riki slowly began to talk, not telling the kids about the extreme harshness of Ceres, the deadly dangers or the crippling fear they would face, but of the freedom.

Looking every one of those scared little faces gazing up at him, Riki hoped that—while they might grow up thirsting for more than a mongrels life, they would understand that sometimes having the wind in their hair and the sun on their face could be more than enough.

oOoOoOo

Raoul frowned at the empty vial in his hand. The vaccines were his; however, there was something he couldn’t put his finger on. Something nagged at him, and the unease wouldn’t fade.

“Raoul?”

Raoul glanced up, surprised to find himself in the foyer of Iason’s apartment.

“Raoul? Is there a problem?”

Raoul looked back down at the vial in his hand. “I’m not sure…I cannot seem to shake the sensation that giving Riki and the other mongrels a shot to ward of unknown viral dangers was the wrong choice to make…”

Iason took the empty vial from Raoul’s hand. “Why?”

Raoul shook his head. “I am not sure. I tested the medicine, and nothing was out of the ordinary… However, something just doesn’t seem right.”

“Could it have been tampered with?” Iason asked.

“No, that was the first thing I checked.” Raoul furrowed his brows in frustration. “I have no facts to support my unease. I asked Orphe to check the surveillance cameras on my floor, and I have checked my log for all who may have entered or exited my apartment, which show nothing but Katze and I. There is nothing. No one—other than those who should be on my floor was on the video feed.”

“However, you feel something is wrong?”

“Yes.” Raoul looked at Iason. Elites did not go upon their feelings. Such a thing spoken out loud would be ridiculed, and looked down upon. However, he had given the same shot to Katze. His red head had stepped forward and had asked him to inject him so the other mongrels would be at ease. “I feel that our precaution may have done harm to the mongrels. I feel as if someone tapered with the vial or replaced it with something that would fool my Elite eyes.”

Glacier eyes narrowed. “And what do you believe to be the purpose of this? Should you be correct?”

“I don’t know,” Raoul admitted. “In the little that was left, I have done a few tests. Nothing in it shows that it will do any harm to Katze, Riki or any of the others…”

“And yet?”

Raoul brushed his long locks back. “And yet I cannot stop the anxiety that my actions has started something, and there is no going back.”
