Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 22

Ramon looked curiously at the Saints Leader. "So you speak how many languages?" Ramon prodded when they stopped at a light.

She coughed. "A few. Let's leave it at that."

" Bueno Jefa, bueno ."

"Thanks for taking me to get looked at, and not pushing what happened unlike other bull headed peoples. I'm not really ready to talk about it."

"How's the hand now? Good thing there was nothing broken. You gonna be alright like that?"

"Yeah, I'm right handed. It will heal."

Riding along a familiar song came on the radio as they rode, Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz - Lost Boyz, Li looked to see if it was cool to touch the volume, getting the nod, turned it up, she sang along, Ramon smiled knowing the song and sang along.

~Purgatory.~

The music was good tonight as they just pulled up to Purgatory. Ramon parked after letting Li out. She didn't want to go home just yet, and figured she had a few clothes to change into as she moved from her small apartment.

Li went right to the bedroom to change, there sprawled on her bed, two bodies going at it, she didn't know what to say, her mouth to the floor, wide eyed she saw the dragon tattoo scrawled along his shoulders and along his neck when he sat up, 'Oh shit!' Her mind screamed. She turned quickly, pulling the door behind her quickly.
Was she trippin' or was Gat fucking somebody who wasn't Aisha? 'No... shit...' Her back pressed against the door. She tried to shake the image. "No, you didn't see that. Call Ish..."
She fiddled for her phone but couldn't get it out of her left front pocket. She went to go down to her office and saw Ren sitting with Carlos when she peeked over the balcony. Hurrying down the stairs, she noticed everyone seemed quiet. It was mildly depressing.
"Ren?" Li's eyes closed as she tried to not run back and kill him.

"Oh Boss, Hi, you alright?" She was sitting next to Carlos, who looked up in greeting.
Both stood looking her over. Her face said it all. Something ain't right.

"Boss, you aight?" Pierce came over.

Li forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm great. Where's Noel?" She dragged out voice was hard.

Ren nodded. "She went up to talk to Gat."

Li closed her eyes and breathed out heavily, her anger deflated. Chuckling, she patted the girl on her shoulder, nodding. "Ramon will be in soon." Pointing to Carlos.
Turning, she went to the bar. She now needed a drink. "Who the hell keeps turning the music down?!" Li cranked up the music another dance song was playing. Reaching around, she looked for something to focus her mind. Gat was almost a dead man.
Changing her mind from the drink danced from behind the bar over to Pierce, taking his hand. "You remember this one?"

Crush on You - Lil Kim playing over the new sound system that was installed. She poked at Pierce, prompting him to sing.
"Yo, I be buyin' 'em V's, so all my girls be eyein' Cease Comin' backstage, dyin' to get pleased you got me, I rock thee, Versace and linen while you stop your grinnin' wit' bunch of foxy women."

The others grooved along, Li popped her arm on Pierce's shoulder, dancing with him.

"Ayo shorty, won't you go get a bag of the lethal I'll be undressed in the bra all see through. Why you count your jewels thinkin' I'ma cheat you? The only one thing I wanna do is freak you. Keep your stone sets, I got my own baguettes and I'll be doin' things that you won't regret. Lil Kim, the Queen Bee, so you best take heed. Shall I proceed?"

The room was on their feet dancing, nodding, singing along, as their leader and lieutenant performed for them.
Slowly forgetting about the incident from earlier. Soon, the couches and chairs were moved to make room for a dance floor.
The lights turned down low, music bumping, and bodies pressed together. Some new song came on. The beat was hot, Salt Shaker - Ying Yang Twins Featuring Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. They made a circle of people around Pierce and Li who did routines to some songs.
