Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 48

Kyouki thanked Troy for his company for the night. It plagued her dreams. Gat was there invading her rest, all the times he was present in her life. She planned to tell him what was going on, and she promised herself that. Just as soon as she found out what it was first.
Though, why would Kyouki need a day off, business as usual and she felt loads better. Messages from the morning came. Shaundi was at the warehouse, taking stock. There was another delivery sent out to Steelport.

~*Black Bottom Warehouse.*~

Kyouki confirmed with the woman. And Pierce checked in that they had been robbed a half an hour ago. Finding what they took, the Saints leader found it odd.

> Nothing but two boxes of dust.

And nothing else? <

> Yeah, just that.

That was the sample stuff that Shaundi and Laura had right. <

> Yeah, just that.

Fuck. Ok, head to the warehouse. I'll head there now. <

Take all of whatever drug shit out too with you. <

> Bet.

Shooting out another text to her cousin, he was already heading out with a gift.

> Bobby, get Brian and come to Black Bottom, near the oil refinery, last warehouse of the right near the pier.

Already here, look behind you. <

Two Saints style taxis were pulling up.

"No fucking way!" Ky pleasantly surprised. "I put that thought on hold."

Bobby and Brian both got out grinning. "Noel said something about it a while ago, and Ramon just finished the other day. We couldn't get a hold of you. Gat said you had bad allergies and needed rest."

Ky flabbergasted, she nodded. "I'm, uh, better for right now. No, this is perfect. Take a couple cases to Steelport for Rashad and Ivory. Make sure you take two others with you. Call me or something when you make the drop." Ky snapped her fingers and four of her crew came to attention. Relaying the plan, they cleaned up, and all left.

Shaundi arrived, and Ky had to run to the store. Besides the designer stash that was stolen, Shaundi had already jotted down the recipe. "Ok, Pierce should be on his way. I'll be back shortly."

Shaundi smiled. "Aight, good to have you back. Boss." The air felt lighter. It seemed as the Boss was back to her old self.

Shaundi smiled. Ky seemed like her old self. Kyouki nodded. She felt better than she had, though she still felt off. Last night had left her with much to think about. Had she really wanted to take the time to tell and explain to Gat what was on and has been on her mind? Hell, even living with Troy, she had told the man nothing. Did she really ever take the time to truly mourn was that what she was telling herself?

No, Kyouki just took it all in and bottled it up. Too many things to take care of. All of it stored away for another day. Maybe this was the overflow of keeping it all in. Her life had been fine. One could have called it great. That was if you omitted being in a street gang for years. That alone left her with more unseen scars and bruises than the combat training ever did.

'This was spill over, had to be, just stress. No normal person sees phantoms coming from the shadows.'

Running the Saints was stressful, having a life after the accident was stressful, having a relationship that hid the Saints, before and after the accident was stressful. Now more than ever was shit trickling into everything.
Ky needed to kick Shogo in the ass. Then she needed answers as to while his goofy ass was here. Stressful. Johnny would find out eventually that she knows Shogo, after telling him she didn't. "Fuck!" Kyouki was getting one of those headaches. Now she needed to get a grip on what was real, tackle the Samedi for fucking with her head. No one fucks with her mind. Samedi has to go.
