The Bar From Hell

Chapter one

It's your night on stage and you peek at the house. It's a fuller house than normal; however, it seems they are focused on another thing. "That's strange" you think to yourself "Why aren't they keeping their eyes up here?" You try to peek around trying to find what's causing the commotion. You look back at the other strippers, their eyes are all focused on their own faces. You never understood why, they always only want what's neck down. What's the point of making your face any better? On Top of that the patrons are always too drunk.

Shaking your head, you look back to the crowd. You meet eyes with the bartender. The man in the blue suit mouths something, but the light makes it too hard to see.

"Beauty~" Red velvet purrs in your ear. "What's wrong~? Stage shy?" Her smile was brighter than ever, it was intoxicating. Her smell? A new fragrance maybe? She was like a cocktail. Drinking it's so sweet, and it slides down so smoothly, yet the alcohol would still ruin you.

"N-no ma'am. Th-the audience...why aren't they lo-looking up here?"

"Oh that." Red sniffed, losing all of her sweetness. "It's nothing, just another big shot coming to see the boss." She waves her white gloved hand like it was not a big deal/ Yet...a big shot? Who could it be, you rack your brain for celebrities you know off the top of your head. Naming any was too hard with everything else going on. Sneaking one last peak you look out. In the nameless crowd you see him...black tailcoat and a cane? And is that two servants..? Who was this man and why was he here?

"Oh beauty~." You blush as a chill goes down your spine. Red slowly walks her fingers down your neck. "Don't get distracted or you'll disappoint The Boss~. We Don't Want That Do We?"

"Y-yes ma- I mean n-no ma'am." You stutter just thinking of the boss. It's too much for your brain to remember your last meeting. You shake your head quickly trying to get into a better head space. While you snap out, Red walks away laughing softly.

"That's a dear~ Get ready." She snapped her whip at her side. I got everyone's attention fast. Remembering her training... You shutter at the thought and at the whip. "Shows about to start~"

****************************************************************

"Brother~" The man in the tail coat smiled, opening his arm. The Boss looked at him very disappointedly.

"Don't call me that." The boss snipped at the man. "You are no kin of mine, Director." The Director clucked his tongue shaking his head.

"Aren't we all of the same kin? You and I are closer than most." He lifted his hand smiling at the boss. As he did so a goblet was placed in his hand by his servant. Wine red as blood was poured into the glass. The boss on the other hand drank from his brandy, two ice, like a boss should. The Director's eyes go wide and laughs. "I forgot. This is new 1 and new 2~! They were apart of the..well, to put it simply they work for me know as my new sla- serrrvantsss." The Director smiled mischievously and drank from his glass.

"Be careful." The Boss leaned back into his chair. "If I wasn't...me. You have given a lot away."

"That's why I've come here." The Director handed his glass to New 1, they took it gratefully, then took a step back. The Director smiled leaning forward in his chair, palms holding his head up. "I need some of your expertise. The feds have been snooping."

"That doesn't sound like my problem." The boss snorted, and stood up walking to the window. "I do my part, and you all do yours. I could care less about what happens to the rest."

"Now now. That's not very nice of you." The Director smirked. "You know we five are all the heads. Even if you are the second in charge, you can still be replaced."

"Like they did with you?" The Boss chuckled. Director grimiest and slammed his hand into the desk. Causing New 2 to drop the wine bottle.

"How did you know?!?"

"I know all about you. But I won't say anything." The boss replied calmly. "It's not my place and i don't have the time. Clean that up would you?" After the boss asked, the Director's face blew up red, he looked at two, and smacked them throwing them to the floor. Blood dripping from their face they started using their tongue to clean the win up. New 1 went to their knees and helped as well. The director growled and stepped on 2's head.

"How dare you make me look foolish in front of Boss. You wi-"

"Enough" The boss waved his hand. "Let them clean up. Punish them somewhere else. I don't like that stuff in my office."

Clearing his throat and reasserting himself, the Director sat back down in his chair and crossed his leg. "Back to my point. The feds are looking for someone. They have eyes on my place next. After that, well...I don't know. My point is make sure to keep your nose clean."

"I keep it clear than your two servants keep yours." The boss replied back. He then turned around. "If that's all, leave. I don't care for your loud mouth in my place of work. This Bar is my turf, go back to your brothel."

"It's not a BROTHEL, Sssir. It is a hotel of the finest kind." The director stood up.

"I am quite aware."

"You better be. They may have replaced me once, but now." The Director smirked. "With this new place of power. It will be much harder for them to find a new me~" The boss sat back down without a word. With satisfaction that he won, The director walked out of the room with his two servants behind him.

"It will be easier than replacing a light bulb." The Boss breathed. A moment later both Blue suit and red walked into the office of the Boss. He looked at both of them, after offering glasses, plus drinks. He finally spoke "The due date has moved up. Make sure all is ready."

"By?" The man in the blue suit asked.

"2 days."

"Two days??" Red velvet whined. "But bosssss. I haven't even played with all my new toyssssss."

"It doesn't matter." The boss stood up and put his arms behind his back. "The feds are back. Last time we made fools of them...this time I have a feeling."

"They have help." The other two said in unison

"You say that every time." Red velvet groaned.

"It's good to be on our toys but are you sure this time it wont be a mistake? If they are in the city, and only five blocks away. Won't they think something up?"

"Yes. That's the point. Let them catch the bait. Point blame at us, to only find out the massively fucked up." The boss smiled softly. "I have a plan. Just follow my lead."
