Heartstrings and Handcuffs [MxM]

Chapter 7

vii - Troublesome little lamb and team double trouble

Dante's eyes gleamed with amusement as he stared at the screen of his laptop. He was watching a livestream of a fight that happened not too long ago somewhere around the streets downtown.

"What are you watching? I could hear it from here" Vivianne's voice came from the bathroom, it was followed by the sound of the shower head going off.

Dante closed the screen of his laptop, chuckling softly to himself. He reached out for his phone and dialed Samuel's number. The call rang three time before the other end picked up. The sound of the nightclubs music boomed through the phone's speaker. Dante had to lower the volume of his phone a little before he pressed it against his ear.

"Sup Dan. You need something?" Samuel's cheery voice asked. Dante tapped his fingers gently against his glass desk, he was contemplating the decision.

"Dan?" came Samuel's voice, sounding confused by the empty response.

"Yes, I do need something. It seems like something has gone down Fremont street. I want you to check it out and take the little lamb out of whatever hole he got himself in" Dante instructed, ending the call before Samuel could say anything. He placed his phone back on top of his desk and made his way to join Vivianne in the shower.

On the other hand, at the bar corner of the nightclub. Samuel stared at his phone, bewildered by Dante's request.

"You look like you're constipated" Dom stated, chugging down his large glass of beer. Samuel rolled his eyes and began tapping aggressively on the screen of his phone, searching for any news of something recently happening in the streets of Las Vegas.

"Dante just asked me to take that guy out of trouble he got himself in" Samuel replied, scrolling through dozens of news on his feed.

Dom frowned, confused. Samuel rolled his eyes.

"That new kid that bumped into him?" Samuel explained, making hand gestures in the air. "The one who stumbled his way here and got drugged by me?"

Dom raised his brow. "You drugged a kid"

"Of course not a real kid!" Samuel threw his hands up in the air. Suddenly, a customer leaned on the island, choosing a drink to order and Samuel's moody countenance instantly changed into a bright cheerful one. "Hello, what drink are you having?"

Dom watched Samuel work. He was entertaining the patron and mixing drinks at the same time. Samuel had always been the jack of all trades kind of person. Anything you put him at, he'll learn and be good at it in less time than a normal person. If it weren't for the fact that Samuel kept picking childish fights with him he would've commented his excellence, but since that wasn't the case he'd never hear a praise coming from Dom's mouth.

As Samuel finished, he went back to his phone, tapping urgently at the screen once more. "Ugh what the hell man? I can't find the shit Dante want me to find. I'm supposed to be a number one source of gossip other than news reporters and journalists."

"What exactly are you looking for anyway?" Dom asked, taking his phone out as well. Just as he opened his socials, the first thing on his news feed was a video feed of a livestream that ended a few moments ago. It was quite the show for Dom, three men ganging up on one. For him, nothing's more cowardly than that.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Dom pushed his phone over to Samuel.

Samuel's eyes widened as he snatched the phone none too gently from Dom's hand, earning a sour look from Dom.

"How the heck do you have it and I couldn't even find it?" Samuel exclaimed, a pout forming on his lips as he tried to pinpoint the exact location of the event, but he was having difficulty because of all the heads blocking the screen repeatedly, trying to get a glimpse of premium entertainment.
