Chapter 212: Saved By My Grace
Chapter 212: Saved By My Grace
What in this world was going on? Why were all these women sex freaks? What had I gotten myself into, better yet, what had Branson got me into? That bastard was probably laughing his ass off, but I wasn't about to abuse the trust I had built with my girls just because the game thought it might be funny.
'I have to admire your ability to stay true, just like a good and proper Leader. Mom gave her the directions, so she should be here pretty quick. Just a pre-warning, don't stand near that door, Grace is mad. I won't repeat the violent string of things she said, but I am sure you can imagine.' -Dansei.
'I can't leave the two of you alone for ten minutes, and you're already locked in a room with a half-naked woman!' -Tequila.
'You act like I just walked in here! I didn't even get to knock, and she grabbed me and dragged me in here. I thought it was a joke until I got thrown in this room with the door locked!'
'Mr. Officer, I have been a bad girl! Please punish me! I'm a bad" Veronica tried to say in her pouty voice, but what cut off
*CRASH!*
"What was that?" Veronica asked, now using a normal worried voice.
I stepped to the side and was tempted to tell Veronica to move, but she had this coming. The door burst open and my Dark Knight was standing in the door, wreathed in black, red eyes and swinging the R-type Fusion jet hammer one-handed. I dove and grabbed Veronica just before the door and a wave of torn flooring.
"GRACE, STOP! You can't kill her! She is the victim, no matter how messed up she is! Do you know what kind of trouble we would get in at the office!"
"Dave only punishes me or those that I say he can! And you were going to"
I had let go of the woman, and I rushed to Grace, who was almost foaming at the mouth and took her into my arms. The hammer dropped from her hands and she squeezed me tight, melting into my arms. Poor girl got all worked up, but that's why I loved her, and I trusted her to always come to my rescue in this kind of situation.
"I'm okay, I just wanted you to get here, and deal with this one."
I let go of Grace and turned to point at Veronica, but she had fallen to the ground to her knee, and she was shaking in a puddle of her own urine. The smell was strong, so, instead of saying anything I just stepped out of the hole in the wall that had once been a door, and left her to Grace. Now that she had calmed down, Grace would take care of the mess, she did cause it with her kick-down-doors-and-ask-questions-later attitude, but I was still thankful.
Still, I turned to where the front door had been, and there was nothing but a blasted space. Most of the front of the house was missing and it was hard to believe that the thing was still standing. This was not what I would call convenient; the chances of us getting a reward had just disappeared altogether. I walked outside, stepping through a broken mess of steps, and into the yard, but then stopped, freezing in place.
Sounds of things moving behind me made a chill run down my spine. What the hell was going on behind me? Was the house coming alive, and now it was going to eat me? I turned around like the hinges on a rusty barn door, slow and jagged movements.
What was waiting for me was almost harder to believe than the house turning into a monster. The house looked like it did before I was dragged inside; nothing was broken, everything was fixed like it was never broken. Was this the power of Bhan's magic? A person should have this kind of power right? The better question was why does a person need magic this strong?
My thoughts were interrupted by shouts in the distance, and I looked up to see the three girls running and holding a lot of bags. Each of them was wearing worried looks, but they all got smiles when they were close enough to see I was okay. That was a lot of bags, where did they get the cash to buy all this stuff?
"Girls, where did you get the money to buy all this stuff?"
"We stopped by the office after you and Grace went and talked about getting a loan. I guess Branson was in a good mood or something because Grace came back with three thousand coins!" Aquina said holding the bags up with a cute smile.
Great, so it was money! And now it was probably all gone, oh well, I shouldn't be surprised. I casually reached out for a drink and sat down. I was seriously jealous of this guy, like who was getting something so...convenient! I was still stifling on the sideway in a lawn chair, holding a cold drink in my hand.
"Dave, are you okay?" Latisha asked, walking up to me and putting a hand on my forehead.
It was soft, warm, and a bit moist from carrying all the bags she had. I just smiled up at her and grabbed her hand and then pulled her into my lap, careful not to spill my rum and cola. Latisha squirmed herself into my lap cutely, after getting over the shock of me pulling her, and then rested her head on my shoulder.
Behind the girls was Tenten with three bags hanging below him. His two TV antennas keeping the bags up, poor guy! The girls were using him as a mule, but he looked pretty happy.
"Dave! Look at all the stuff we got! There is a lot of stuff here!" Tenten was being painfully obvious about something.
Oh? Did the girls get me something? I motioned the other three to sit down and told them to reach for drinks, I was getting well into the afternoon now, and the heat was up, but there was a random umbrella sticking out of a bush blocking the sun for us. I reached out to the side with my free hand and brought back Latisha's favorite choconana cream drink, handing it to her, and receiving a deep kiss after she had almost drained the cup of drink.
"Slow down tiger, we have one more house to visit!"
"Don't you think that Grace and the others can go visit the last place? We could go on a date? Then meet back up with them after?" Latisha asked with her head on my shoulder.
Just then, the door opened to the house, and Grace walked out, with the same whip-looking thing Veronica was holding. Uh-oh, what was she going to do with that? Latisha got out of my lap, and I finished my drink, getting a bit of a warm feeling from the strong drink.
"How, did it go? Or do I even want to know? And is that the next tool or just your battle trophy?"
"It went fine. After you left, everything was fixed so I helped her clean up and then punished her. After that, she offered me the flogger as an apology for trying to get you to do it, but in the end, this was my fault. We should have been the ones to go, if she was this bad, how was the first one?" Grace asked with a curious look.
"Don't make me repeat it, I saw things that a hundred lifetimes couldn't be away. That my eye didn't just jump ship and run away should be a testament to my fortitude."
"That bad?" Kierra asked. "Now I kind of want to know."
"Yeah, tell us about that which can't be unseen! We will be the judges!" Aquina cheered.
"Fine, I gave you fair warning and then explained what I had glimpsed happening between Jim-Jim and Grena.
The girls' faces had all turned pale as ghosts, and they were each self consciously pulling at their crotch area like something was riding up. Serving them right, I told them it wasn't a pretty sight, and they didn't even see it. In the end, Grace gave Latisha and me some coins and let us go off while they visited the last victim of the pervert thief, but it was really getting hard to figure out who was the biggest pervert out of the group?
The two of us waved goodbye to the girls, and we started to head back to the downtown area. The place wasn't huge, more like if you took a small city and squeezed it into the size of a town. So it took us no time to get to the small downtown center with skyscrapers that pushed through the ceiling of the city dome.
"Do you know what those buildings are, Latisha?"
"The tall ones? No, we just went into ground-level shops."
"Do you want to go check one out? They are so much taller than everything else, what do you think they are?"
"There are five of them, so I don't know, but that actually sounds like fun, maybe they will have some really cool little stores!"
We walked over to the nearest tower, and the double doors motion sensor activated, opening the door for us. The lobby looked normal, but the second we walked through the door, the world turned sideways.
