Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 24

~*Philips Building.*~

Unbeknownst to them a car followed them some distance away, snapping pictures. It was just one of the many times someone had snapped a photo or twelve of the Saints' leader. All sent to the man, who was intrigued by the young woman who caught his eye those months ago.

"This is Ms. Kyouki Li, now leader of the Saints. She was in a coma a few years ago."

"Thank you, Jones, thank you very much. Jamie, cancel all my meetings for tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Vogel."

~*Pussies Nightclub, Tidal Spring.*~

Gat sat and looked at his watch. He had a drink already, waiting and currently nursing another. He spotted Aisha coming in. A smile crept on his face, looking at her. She looked gorgeous. Her white sheer dress blouse, white lace bodice corset, and matching pants fit her really well. No doubt Kyouki was playing dress up with her again. Then the devil in question walked in. The entire room came to a dead crawl.

~*The Church HQ, August of 97'.~

However, Li was just showing her long legs. 'Has her legs always been that long?' his thoughts veered hard. He had teased her before about sleeping with her, but he knows she wouldn't because of her tight friendship with Ish. Kyouki Li, the light-skinned, five foot six, lethal weapon that was his road dawg, when they weren't trying to see who could piss the other off more.

He realized she could meet him or anyone in a fight and beat the shit outta dudes bigger than her. He respected that. She is intelligent and cute, but now... no... now she was what every dude would lust after, and they could only think about getting close. She carried it well, very well. Fuck Troy, Gat grew irritated.

~*S.R.1*~

Gat covered his mouth, wiping the corners of his mouth. His obvious ogling did not go unnoticed. "You're staring again." Aisha teased as sat watching Li as Johnny took a mouthful, swallowing it with a hiss.

"Sorry babe." Kissing her temple.

"Nothing to be sorry about. I already know. And so will this guy she's seeing tonight."

Gat looked at Aisha and almost went to complain, before Aisha patted his thigh, "Business, do not mess this up."

Li slid into the booth across from them and checked her bracelet watch, pulling her long hair over her shoulder as she was looking at the door. "He should be here in a few. You remember what I told you, Noel?" Li grabbed what Johnny was drinking, he snatched it back.

Li rolled her eyes, then flagged a server down and ordered an 'Aquamarine.'

"What is that?" Aisha asked, curious.

"Part of my Birthstone drinks I started back when I worked at T&A. You take half a cup of Hypnotic and half cup cold lemon lime soda, and it makes the prettiest color." She waved at the server when she caught his eye and signalled she would need two.

Gat was looking away out into the crowed, Kyouki and Ish sitting on either side of him was torture. Kyouki may as well had nothing on. Ish was going to get it when they got home, for sure.

The Professor finally arrived a good fifteen minutes later Li got up to greet him, Gat followed her from the seat through the crowd, he growled under his breath-taking another drink and showing he needed a refill, her dress completely backless, all of her back was exposed, her scars looking more like stars of a birthmark and if that damn dress wasn't short enough already the thoughts of this dude hand broken when he touched her exposed skin sent him in a silent fury.
