~*Club Koi.*~
Across town at Club Koi, Ky was working the evening shift at the popular nightclub. Now she needed the money more than ever. She took some out from her personal savings as well as what she donated from the Saints. With it being weeks apart from the next drop-off, money would be tight. Kyouki was more concerned with having the needs of her crew met. Little did she know everyone was quietly chipping in when they could.
' Why in the hell did that s.o.b pick a mall of all gotdamn places, fuckin asswipe. Now I don't have enough for my apartment.' Ky fumed. Helping others one thing, paying the most for cleaning up to keep them under the radar... Expensive.
In the back, she was taking stock. It was a slow night, and she volunteered to count glasses. All she seemed to do for the past several days was count, hell she was dreaming of numbers.
"Fifth box, nothing broken." She moved to the next. Wasn't long before she was called by one of her coworkers.
"Ky? You here?"
Poking her head from around one of the many filled stock shelves. "Yeah, here." Kyouki answered.
"Someone's here to see you." came from one female bartender.
"Thanks, Alex, be out in a sec." Ky noted what was in the box then to see who needed her.
The woman pointed to a man at the end of the bar sipping his whiskey on the rocks.
"Hey. What brings you here?" Kyouki asked.
Dane smiled as he saw her approach. "I need a reason to visit with my girlfriend?"
Pulling a magazine with his picture on the cover, smirked as she slid it in front of the blond man. Titled; This confirmed bachelor is Ultor's Sexiest man alive. "Should you say that out loud? Are you even allowed to date?" Kyouki snorted and refilled his glass. "To answer your question, no, I guess I wasn't expecting to see you here. Thought you were still busy."
Dane laughed at the irony. "True. But I really wanted to see you. I miss you." Dane pouted.
"I'm a busy woman, honey. I'm lucky if I see me."
Dane chuckled. He knew those days. Up to his ears with work, barely enough time to sleep, let alone see anyone. One of his main reasons for his visit. It had been too long since he heard her voice. So he came by on the assumption she would be in tonight. "Are you free this evening?"
"Should I be?"
~*Dane's.*~
Monday, Ky woke with Dane nuzzling her neck. Kyouki went to move and Dane woke up. "Don't go." he groggily asked before nuzzling further into her.
"I have things to do. And you have work." Ky reminded.
Pulling Ky closer, kissing her neck. "I'll take off."
"As much as I would love to stay, I need to talk to my lawyer." With a soft hum, Ky remembered what she overheard about Sunnyvale.
Dane sat up, concerned with what he was hearing. "Lawyer, what are you in some kind of trouble?"
Kyouki hugged the covers close to her body, turning to Dane. "You remember when I came to the office last? Well, I overheard some plans going on with certain properties." She was waiting to see if anything he needed to say to her from her admission.
Dane thought back. There were talks of upgrading certain areas before all of Stilwater was going to look like the New Saints Row. "Ah, that." he ran his fingers through his hair. "It's just talks. But why on earth would you need a lawyer?"
