One Helluva Time

Chapter 4- Introductions

~~Elliot POV~~

I woke up with a sinking feeling in my chest, my parents were never the type to ask for a talk without reason. As I went through my routine I kept making up reasons, no matter how stupid, they'd want to talk. On my way downstairs I was met with Hanna.

Elliot: "Hey, did Mom or Dad say anything about why they wanna talk with me?"

Hanna: "I dunno, you're most likely over thinking it man." *She lightly punched me in the shoulder*

I sat down on the couch and texted Blitz, letting him know I'll probably be late. As I shut my phone off I heard my parents come downstairs. They called me into the dining room (for some reason it kinda became our "meeting place"). I sat down at the right side of the table, and my parents sat directly across from me. Neither of them looked mad, or even disappointed. They just looked curious, and maybe a little concerned.

Elliot: "Is everything ok?"

Dad: "We'd like to meet these friends of yours."

Elliot: "Sorry, what?"

Mom: "You're not in trouble or anything. We just want to meet your new coworkers, see who they are and what they're like."

Elliot: "Okay, I'll talk to 'em. When are you guys thinking?"

Dad: "If they can make it, then tonight after you guys are done."

Elliot: "That should work, but I don't know for sure. Once I get there we'll talk and I'll let you know by the end of the day."

I went back upstairs feeling relieved, and a little excited. To my knowledge they don't have much, if anything, goin on so it should work out. After I changed I said my goodbyes and walked out the door. I went down a couple streets and called Blitz up, a minute or two later I heard a hum and stepped through the portal. On the other side I was met with a massive puddle of blood and organs. After I cleaned up, I walked over to the break room and began to play darts, I used to play when I was younger and it's a good way to pass the time here. Loona came in and just kinda sat down on the couch near me, neither of us said anything. After the whole window thing we've become decent friends, which honestly surprised me. She's still a cunt at times though.

Loona: "Blitz wants us in the meeting room."

Elliot: "Okay, just one minute."

As I lined the dart up she came up behind me and scared me, then the dart promptly embedded itself in the floor. As I picked it up she leaned against the wall, laughing to herself.

Elliot: "Damn it!"

Loona: "Ha, fucker."

I grabbed one of the darts and threw it at her. Not to hit her, but I nailed it right next to her head. She looked at me with a shocked expression and threw it back at me. It hit the floor next to me, not sticking in there but landed on its side. She looked more embarrassed than anything and marched off to the meeting room. I followed her and silently prayed she didn't kill me. Everyone was in there already, just waiting for us to show up. Blitz sat at the head of the table, Moxxie and Millie sat next to each other on the right side (from Blitz's POV), so Loona and I sat down on the left side.

Blitz: "Okay now that everyone's here, I have an announcement. We are going out of business."

Everyone except Blitz: "WHAT!?"
