29 years ago, 2011.
Desmond Melodis, although in the present year of 2040 seems like a all loved up husband but in his younger days... well Mr Melodis was "loved by many, lover of non." The man ran around the globe, even though in his group of three he wasn't the most spontaneous or charming, the ladies loved him maybe it was his smile or his eyes.. or maybe...
Hong Kong, 2011.
Desmond Melodis 22 years old...
"Alright, we're coming in for a landing." Lee says. I look out the window to the city I'd lived in so long, the City of Vice.
"Hey old man, you got Topher on the coms?" Lee looks back and asks Harlo.
Footsteps creep up to the cockpit. "Don't worry Lee I've told him."
He looks over to me.
"Check the cargo Des." Harlo tells me, I look up and nod. I stand up and walk past him. I walk down into the cargo bay and look at the boxes of cocaine.
"All good." I shout.
"Good.. we're landing now." Lee says as I make my way back to the cockpit taking a seat.
"Damn I need a drink, those Chinks really dried my throat out. And I need a little lady to tuck me. What do you say Desmond, think you could me some of your tricks?" He chuckles.
"Huh?"
"Oh I've seen you in those bars... the ladies flock to you, ha, you almost make me jealous."
'Maybe because I'm not a child killer and rapist..'
"No.. it's nothing like that!" I wave my hands.
"Well what is it? Because I've drugged plenty of girls and your the one getting dragged in their rooms." He cackles manically.
I chuckle lightly.
We finally land, we begin unloading the narcos onto the runway. Although the sun was setting the heat still hung on our backs.
Harlo stands on sits by the plane with a beer as me and Lee unload all the cargo. "Ah Mr Fu, glad you could make our acquaintance."
Harlo goes over and shakes the rickety old mans hands. He looks ill like he's on his life pipe of life.
"Vdov, I see you got what I asked f-for." He struggles to get out. I look to the side of him and see Topher Le.
"Desmond!" He shouts over and pats me on the shoulder.
"Topher, you alright?" I ask him.
"As you American say peachy." He smiles.
"I'm not a American.. but that's great. Hey you coming to the bar tonight?" I inquire.
"Which one? If it's Moritz's then I won't bother but if your going to-"
"We'll be going to the Red Goose, so make up your mind." Lee says walking up to us.
Topher hums and looks at me. "Well ill join you boys!"
Lee takes a cigarette out of his packet and hands me one, I place it in my mouth and he lights it.
He takes puff of his own and he exhales. "Des boy is gonna show me how he catches those girls."
I smile and shake my head.
Harlo finishes taking to Mr Fu and walks over to us. "Alright boys here is your pay for the day, I'll see where you are and I might join. But now I have business to handle."
He gives me a wod of cash same with Lee.
"Alright no wonder to far old timer." Lee chuckles.
"Alright are we going then?" I ask.
