Imprisonment (Childe x Fem!reader)

Chapter Nineteen: Childe's POV; Meeting

"Now that we're all here, why don't we begin?"

Some sit down while others lean into the corner of the room.

"Since certain people were late, I'll make this quick. As you all know, this 'Jester' suppose to be coming to our little club in a week or so. So I need everyone on their feet and keep shit professional."

This Jester guy is one of the top dogs in the gangs around town. He was one of the first leaders of his gang and also the one who started everything else. People get on their hands and knees for this guy but me, I could care less. If you think I'm gonna bow down to some founding leader, you thought wrong.

"He's suppose to be around midnight since he likes a late start so get here early and don't fool around, got it?"

"Got it." Some day in sync, others nod their head and stayed silent.

"Dismissed."

Everyone gets up and leaves the room. Scaramouche and I walk as well but get interrupted.

"Not you Childe. I'd like a word wit you."

I turn around and walk closer to him. Scaramouche continues to walk out and now the room was empty and quiet.

"Yes sir?"

"Childe, you've been here longer than I have, correct?"

"Yes."

"Meaning you know Jester correct?"

"Not personally but yes."

He takes out a cigarette and lights it."

"Word has it that he's tryna sabotage my club and dealings. So I need you to find out if that's true or not."

"What's in it for me?"

He takes a puff and laughs, letting the smoke fill the air.

"You really are something. Tell you what, front row seats to the dealings."

I shake my head side to side and inch closer. No one cares what you sign and how we get our money.

"You know, I know a lot more than you think. I could tell you more about Jester and his gang. The shady deals he's done, people he's talked too. As for how he talks and acts, that's for you to find out but I know what he's done. I just need a step up."

A truth and a lie. Which one is which?

I lean in of the table with two of my hands on the corners. He takes another puff and blows it in the air and smirks.

"11:30 pm sharp. And don't even think about fooling around."

Judging from his expression and choice of words, I set the deal. I smirk as I begin to walk out of the room.

"That was too easy." I thought.

For a leader, he sure is gullible. But once he makes me his "little apprentice", he won't be the leader anymore. As a matter a fact, he won't see the light of day.

As I walk to the car, I looked at the time and saw that it was getting late.

"My sweetheart must be waiting for me."

I hope in the car and drive off. What a night. At least I got one problem out of my way. All I need is her little friends to like me or, at least be less suspicious of me. I thought about killing them one by one but the last time I did that with my ex, she didn't take it very well. I'll just have to try a different route. And once that's done, I'll come clean about everything. Well, mostly everything and she'll accept me for who I am and I won't have to keep lying and hiding from my sweetheart. Everything will be according to plan.
