EIGHTY-EIGHT

Recap–Johny and Nick set up a meeting with the Schauffuer guy. And they've involved Racheal.

Johny aka Blondie
--------

"What are we doing here?" Johny asked, narrowing his eyes at Racheal, who was driving. "That mailbox had Ventis on it."

"Yeah. And..?"

"We're meeting with the schauffuer, not a Ventis."

"The adress led me here." She said, "So don't blame me."

The long twisty drive, they'd been coasting for three minutes, turned into a gravel parking area, shadowed by a modern house.

"I guess we're meeting the schauffuer here." Nick spoke up.

Racheal cranked the car in park than turned on the two boys. "Tell me what's going on."

"I told you on the phone." Nick yawned.

"No!" She jabbed her finger at his face. "You told me Elin needed help. You never specified what this was about."

"That's all you need to know." Johny remarked.

"I drive you all the way out here, and I don't get to know."

"It's not our secret to tell." Johny snapped.

Racheal's fiery gaze shifted onto Nick. He shrugged. "Johny's right."

Plopping her cheek on the windowsill she grumbled, "Fine, if Elin doesn't want me to know than I wont pry. But eventually...I'll make you talk."

"Deal".

Nick threw Johny a thumbs up, and a sleepy grin, before he climbed out of the car.

"I thought you were going to fill her in?" Johny asked, once they were out of hearing range.

"Y'know, I was." Nick said, stretching his arms overhead. "But than I changed my mind."

"Good."

The less people involved the better. For Elin's sake.

"You ready?" Nick asked, when they had stopped at the door.

Johny crossed his arms. "Just knock."

But Nick didn't have too. The door swung open before he even lifted his fist. A middle aged women, with a kindly smile, greeted them. "Hello there."

"Look at you. Arriving on time." A voice boomed from down the hall. A moment later Mitch Ventis appeared next to the women. "Glad you could make it."

"I remember asking for a meet with the Schauffuer–stalker guy. So why are we here?" Johny inquired. Cutting right to the chase.

"Denvis is here." Mitch assured. "Don't you worry about that kid."

Johny praised a brow. "So...does he live here, or...?"

"Oh no." Mitch chuckled, waving his hands chaotically. "He's just here for the meet."

"Aha." Johny tapped his foot. "Why exactly are we meeting here than?"

"I set up this meet. So isn't it only fair that I sponsor it?"

Johny wasn't very fond of Mitch Ventis, not only because of the name, but because he made Elin run off on Christmas. "I don't like you."

"Most people don't."

------------

Johny was not a patient person, especially under the current circumstances; so when Denvis returned from the bathroom, he made a point to start. "You've seen alot of shit haven't you?"
