Roxanne wasn’t happy; neither was Kinderheim. Since the drug deal between the Eclipse and the Slavers hadn’t gone well, things had been slow. Kinderheim was especially angry, because now the Slavers weren’t letting Kinderheim extort information for them. Roxanne was angry for another reason. She looked at Kinderheim and spoke with disdain, “You just had to kill them, didn’t you?”
Kinderheim looked at her and smiled. “Of course, darling,” he said and held her hands. “They took away my fun. I cannot allow that, you know that.”
Roxanne looked Kinderheim angrily and pulled her hand away, “Still! They were my friends. I’m one of the Slavers. I cannot just allow you to kill anyone you want.” Kinderheim laughed and spoke, “Come on now. They were of no importance. You know we can run this thing together.”
“No! We can’t. They were the source of your playthings. You didn’t think I found so many people for you by myself? I sorry but I have to do this,” she said and pulled out her pistol. Kinderheim didn’t say anything for a while. She was aiming at him but her hands were shaking and none of her fingers were on the trigger. Amateur, Kinderheim thought and pulled out his own pistol. Petrified, she spoke, “Please… don’t…”
“Two things. Always finger on trigger,” he said and pulled the trigger of his Phalanx; twice. She had bullet holes for eyes now. “And… Shoot first, Talk later.” The large man who usually accompanied Roxanne, Arquiez, was just standing there. “Don’t care,” he said before Kinderheim could ask. Kinderheim loved Arquiez’s attitude of not giving a fuck, which was quite like his own style.
“Well Arquiez, what now?” asked Kinderheim. “She has stashed a lot of money in her office,” said Arquiez and popped two more bullets in her. He hated her, Kinderheim thought and smiled. Fun times…
Since approximately one billion people wanted to jump on Roz, Kinderheim walked away to the dance floor. He was wearing his combat armor, because Roz hated his red trench coat. No one stared at him now as most other people wore armor. “Hey there sexy,” said an Asari near him. Kinderheim turned around and smiled at her. “Looking for a good time?” asked Asari while dancing around him. He was a good dancer but he was a good dancer to jazz songs and this was more electro. “Babe, you sure wanna help me relax?”
The Asari leaned in close to him and said, “Whatever you want babe,” making Kinderheim laugh. “Let’s go to my place then,” said Kinderheim.
I better tell Roz. Roz was surrounded by a drell and Mayce who had kidnapped a girl, a chirpy little girl at that. On the way when he reached the bar, he turned to Roz and said, “Hey Boss, I’m leaving. I’ll get you some credits later.”
After I torture this Asari that is, thought Kinderheim and smiled at the Asari. She smiled back too. Fun times…
