"Crap." Atlas mouths to a sneezing Maurice who nods in response.
Both of them had fallen into a lot of trouble.
Atlas visibly relaxes and turns around, keeping a cool composure on his face. He lazily chuckles and places his hands over the edge of one of the chairs,
"Cai. Max. Nice to see you after what had happened last time." He smiles sweetly, getting a disgusted look from Maurice. Cai smiles in return sitting with Min and Max does the same with Sienna, gesturing to Maurice and to Atlas to sit as well. Maurice shakes his head, having finally stopped sneezing,
"No, I think we'll pass." He mutters, clenching his fist when he sees the fellow member's faces.
"Oh?" Max asks, clasping a hand around his mouth in faux surprise. Atlas rolls his eyes at his fake reaction,
"Yes. We'll be leaving right now." He says, grabbing Maurice's bicep and yanking him along with him. Then for the second time that day, he got stopped by Min. He clicks his tongue,
"We don't want little Tara to get hurt do we?" He asks teasingly, running his hand through his hair. Maurice stops in his tracks and spins towards Min. He steps forward, his face like stone, not showing any emotions,
"Don't you dare lay a finger on her." He says monotonously as Atlas fumes, his anger going unnoticed since his back was facing the group of people.
"If you don't want us to hurt her, then come and sit down. We need to have a talk." Cai says, putting his chin in the crook of his palm and crossing his legs.
Atlas sighs heavily and turns around, walking close to Maurice,
"We have no choice, we have to go." He whispers, getting a nod from Maurice,
"Keep a tight hold on your gun. Things are gonna get rocky." He mutters, sticking his hand inside his jacket and patting the sleeves discreetly. Atlas does the same thing, nodding in mock salute,
"Yes sir." He says sarcastically, pulling a chair out opposite Sienna and sitting down on it with Maurice doing the same thing. Atlas notices that the whole time that they've been here, Sienna had never talked.
Should I poke fun at her?
Meh, why not.
"So, Sienna." He starts off and Sienna snaps her head towards Atlas, straight hair following shape and creating a whipping sound. She raises an eyebrow as if she was daring him to bother her. Atlas, being Atlas disregards the warning and takes it as a game of sorts.
"Sienna, why aren't you speaking? Cat got your tongue? I mean there are multiple cats here, that is why Maurice is sneezing like crazy." He pokes even further, causing a ringed feminine hand to be wrapped around his throat. Max sees this and finally decides to shut Atlas up,
"You'll see why she's needed later, Curious George."
"Whatever." Atlas rolls his eyes and twists the woman's hand, pulling the scarred hand right off his windpipe. Sienna glares at him, rolling her wrist out, causing a couple of cracks to be heard. Max winces, discomfort clearly shown on his face.
"What do you want?" Maurice asks, setting his hands lightly on the table, his fingers drumming out a random rhythm. Cai hums, loving the situation that he put the two leaders in.
"Well, all we want to do is meet your lovely little sister Atlas, nothing more." He teases, curling his fingers around the teacup and lightly sipping the tea, jokingly lifting his pinky up. Atlas, on the other hand, was fuming once again.
This was why he hated going to meetings.
He never gets to lose his cool.
If Atlas lost his top, everything would go to hell. Whenever he sees red, he always blanks out and some type of other persona seems to come out, scaring both Maurice and whoever they're meeting with.
"Shut up Cai, what do you actually need? To borrow another hit-man? Another shipment of drugs." Atlas says firmly, tightening his fists by his side. Maurice discreetly diverts his eyes below the table to see the sharp metal of Atlas's rings cutting into his skin. He looks at Atlas, attempting to calm him down without causing something to blow. But Min needed to be Min, and needed to push the envelope,
"Well, since we're on that topic, we actually do need something else from y'all." Min smiles, sipping his latte from the piece of expensive china as a cat purrs on his lap. Sienna furrows her brows,
Was Min seriously petting a cat right now?
At a time like this?
Well, he was the one to ask for the location to be here.
Maybe he comes here daily.
The image of Min being like an old cat lady, complete with knitting needles and a bunch of cats floods her mind as she slightly giggles, finding the image that her brain had created hard to believe. She shakes the thoughts off her head and focuses on the task at hand right now.
"What?" Maurice asks Min who giggles, putting the china down on the saucer,
"We actually need to borrow a hitman from you." Cai interrupts him, cracking his knuckles while making minimum eye contact with the group of men. Atlas jerks her neck back, raising an eyebrow,
"You don't borrow hitmen. I can find you a newly trained official though, someone who can do whatever job you need, no problem." Atlas cooly responds, keeping his eyes trained on Min. The said man opens his mouth, only to be interrupted by Cai,
"That works." He says, extending his arm for the two leaders to shake on the deal. Maurice extends his hand as well and the two shake on it, solidifying the deal. Atlas exhales, very relieved that that was all they had asked for.
"Ok, it was nice seeing you. We gotta go now though." Atlas gets up from his seat only to be stopped once again,
"We never said that we were done."
He rolls his eyes and looks towards the two mafia leaders sitting opposite him,
"Why don't you ever say what you need to say in one sitting?" He whines, sitting down nonetheless.
"We want you to bring your sister to the annual ball," Max says and Maurice's eyeballs just about pop out of his head. Atlas leans forward, shaking his hands in a haphazard way,
"No, nope, non, ani. She is NOT going to the ball. All that's going to do is plaster a bigger target on her back." He yells, getting a nod from Maurice,
"He's right, I don't agree to that." Maurice murmurs and Cai frowns,
"So sad. We could have done this the easy way but you asked for it." He looks towards Sienna,
"You know what to do."
Another Chappie complete!
(We stan Sienna over here)
I hope that your day has been great so far and that you've smiled once today. Anyways, I'm pumped because I GET SPRING BREAK! Yas, I'm super excited.
