Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart - Empire in Blood

Chapter 40

~*The Sigma, Theta, Delta House, Sommerset Apartment Complex.*~

The STD house dedicated the whole of these four buildings. How that was possible from Frat Row was remarkable. It was directly across from Apollo's, like Shaundi said. Excusing herself as she climbed the steps, she asked several who pointed her toward Shaundi. As she looked around the house, didn't see the girl initially, but heard chanting over the booming music blasting. Following the chants headed to a large dining room.

"Shaun-di! Shaun-di! Shaun-di! Shaun-di!"

Rolling her eyes, she knew this chick was up to something. Ky found Shaundi on her knees chugging a beer bong surrounded by sloshed Uni-boys. The crowd was cheering her on. When she finished, she flinched seeing Kyouki standing there.

"Hey Boss." She greeted, wiping her mouth and chin with a half smile. Seeing the look on Kyouki's face, Shaundi dropped the familiarity.

Kyouki shook her head, looking at Shaundi. It still pissed her off. "What's going on..." She leaned in to ask over the music.

Shaundi answered with the most obvious. "Beer bong." She smiled and moved out of the way of another drinker.

"No shit. I mean, why the fuck are we at a frat party?"

Shaundi shrugged. "If I can drink free, I'll meet anywhere..." The look on Kyouki's face said it all. With her current standing, she knew she fucked up and now has to earn the respect of her Boss. "My ex had called me and said he got some dirt for us."

Ky had a look of confusion on her face. "I thought I killed your ex."

"Different ex. Come with me." Shaundi led the way down into the basement of the flophouse. There was a various assortment of drugs laying about, and several sparking up when some random frat dude saw Shaundi coming down, calling her over.

"'Sup Shaundi..."

Shaundi introduced the two to each other. "Hey Blake, whatchu got for me?"

Blake, nodding to Kyouki, handed the piece to the petite woman. "White Widow."

Shaking her head no, she kept taking a glance at Kyouki, who looked fed up. "I was talkin' 'bout the info you called me about, but pass the piece." Slinking away from Kyouki, to take a seat on one couch. Kyouki sat on the arm of the couch. She wouldn't dare place her entire self on the filthy couch. "So what's up?" She nodded to Blake.

"Oh right. Earlier today I went to Shivington to find party favors for tonight. While I was buyin' I noticed some Samedi wheelin' in a bunch of chemicals into a building."

"You sure?" Shaundi puffed again.

Blake seemed offended. "Yeah, I know a drug lab when I see one."

Ky nodded. "Okay... Looks like I'm gonna blow up some dust labs, you wanna come? Blake, may I borrow your car?" She asked Shaundi, dusting her behind off.

Shaundi puffed again and stretched out with a smile. "Eh, you go have fun. I think I'll stay here..."

Blake handed her the keys. Thanking him, Kyouki turned to leave she raised an eyebrow. "That was, 'Yes' . Unless you want me to embarrass you in front of your little friends, I suggest you carry your ass outside with me."

A chill settled within Shaundi, and she was up and out of the door without so much as a word of goodbye.

~*Sea Roses, formally Angelo's Place.*~

A half hour or more had passed, and the sun was creeping low. The two women stood outside of the bar and watched the goings on. A stakeout, if you will. They were watching as the cars came around and saw just as Blake described; they went in.
Sweaty and feeling odd, Kyouki and Shaundi cleared the labs that scouted by their crew. It was having to chase down one other the Sons boys who took off running, was what exhausted the two women. Standing over the man's bleeding body, she called Javier once more.
