Use Me, Darling

Part 79

"Everything alright?" Ohm had started his next tattoo appointment already and just signaled Tay with his head, where he was supposed to place his phone. "Yes, we are going to go out tonight I need to talk to some people." Ohm nodded before he focused back on the tattoo. "I am back upstairs for now." Again, only a nod to show that Ohm had heard what Tay had said. Tay needed to clean himself. If he wanted to gather some people behind him, he couldn't look like he just went through some of the roughest times of his life. He needed to be strong, clean and confident. As he cleaned himself up, he practiced his speech for tonight. Rephrasing every second word to make till it felt perfect to Tay. He had replaced his bandages around his injuries. They didn't look as bad anymore. And most of the cuts were covered by a layer of dried blood minimalizing the risk of an infection. Tay decided that it was a better look, to openly present his scars and injuries. It would show how much he had been through and how strong he had grown from the things he had experienced. He shaved his face and put some light makeup on to cover the dark circles under his eyes and the paleness of his skin. He needed to look like he hadn't shed as many tears as he needed to be a man without emotions rational and ready to fight to his death. Not like a mess. Tay had never viewed emotions as a weakness. But the men of his father would. That was why Vegas had always his mask up. So, the people with old fashion mindsets would follow him. People who hadn't learned yet that a strong leader sometimes cried and worried. He needed to be the perfect leader in the eyes of those man, and he only could achieve it if he looked cold. Tay sighed at his own thoughts, as if emotions meant that someone was irrational.

Achara came home shortly before Tay and her neededto leave again. She quickly switched into different close while Tay waited withOhm by the cars "You look a lot better now." Ohm admitted as he scanned the boyfrom head to toe. Tay wore a mix of his and Acharas clothes. He looked strongin them. Like the typical hero in an action movie that still had an amazingstyle. Achara had switched into an all-black outfit with a heavy leather jacketand Ohm didn't need to change his clothes to look intimidating. Just hismuscular stature would make the people that were waiting on them, show theirrespect. Tay had instructed Ohm and Achara to act as his bodyguards. As peoplethat were ready to fight for him already. Achara was driving the car to a smallindustrial building that had been vacant for quite a while now. No one dared tospeak as they left the car and walked into the building out of which they couldhear some chatter. One last time Tay took a deep breath before he pushed openthe heavy metal door and walked in on about fifty men and a couple women. Atthat moment he realized that he needed to convince every single person in this buildingfrom his plan. If only one would snitch on him, his whole plan would be doomed.Everyone fell silent as they watched Tay walk up onto a small platform beforehe raised his voice. "Good evening. I believe most of you know me. I am Tay theson of the man you all are serving. Some of you have been the ones followingthe instructions against me that my father has led." Tay looked at two men thatwere standing next to one another. They were with his father on the rooftop asTay was dragged away from Vegas. Quickly they looked to the floor as if theyweren't brave enough to face Tay now.
