Find me.

Chapter 8

                  

Mi split apart two black curtains and wave of over-blasted music smacked into them. The smell of smoke came from all the men smoking round the basement and girls grind against each other over men's laps.

Victoria looked around with a scowl of disgust possessing her lips whilst Brandon focused on the girls. He averted his gaze to find Mi looking at a pair of girls doing more than kiss on the bar.

Two other men walked up to the trio and held their hands out to them. Victoria grinned and took one of their hands, "Hey, I'm Victoria, this is my buddy Brandon, nice to meet you?"

The man let go of her hand and let the other man get a chance of shaking her hand. He hadn't even shook her hand... Brandon voiced in his head.

"I'm Dwayne, nice to meet a lady as sexy as yourself, this is my bro' Johnson." The man said, letting go of her hand after giving a flirty wink.

Victoria smirked, "Sexy?"

Dwayne grinned, sneaking a look at the black rooms, "Yeah."

Victoria looked at me, faked a pout and a whiny voice, "Too bad I'm taken..."

"Oh, so apparently a buddy is code for boyfriend?"

Mi decided to save the conversation from getting awkward, "Guys, she obviously doesn't want to sleep with your ugly asses."

Victoria giggled a bit while Brandon stayed quiet. "What you got, bipolar disorder or something?" Mi asked, turning to Victoria, "Brave one second, flirty the next and now happy?"

"Actually, the disorder runs in the family..."

"Really?" Brandon asked in disbelief.

Mi offered a shrug, "Makes sense."

The two men nodded in agreement at Mi's statement whilst Brandon roll his eyes. Dwayne, Mi and Johnson headed to the bar and ordered drinks, making the bartended move behind the bar.

Brandon followed behind Mi, trusting him more than the other men that had taken God knows what drugs and the women that were desperate.

"You gonna have a drink, Brad?" Mi asked.

"It's Brandon." He corrected.

"Same thing."

"Not entirely." Brandon glanced up at him.

Mi bared his filed teeth again, making Brandon's Adams apple bob up and down at the front of his neck. He shook his head, "Brad it is..."

Mi smirked, "Are you gonna get a drink?"

Brandon looked up at the bar, browsing through all the names, shaking his head after seeing the last. "I'm fine."

Victoria ran up with an envelope in her hand, grabbing Brandon's wrist and pulling him towards her. He shoved the envelope towards him with curious eyes.

Still in a shocked state, Brandon opened the envelope.

I see you're one step closer, I would keep an eye on you little friend their...

Brandon looked at Mi, no, he glared at Mi, "You kidnapped him?!" He asked in an outrage.

Mi raised a brow, "I don't do kidnapping, only the hit and runs... Why?"

"He's looking for his son, Lucas." Victoria explained.

Mi looked at Brandon in admiration, "Now there's a father looking for his son..."

Brandon looked back down at the letter, trying to figure out what it meant. Until he recognised that Mi was having a small breakdown and Johnson was trying to calm him down.

"I never knew my father!" He wailed

Dwayne and his brother led Mi outside to let him calm down, Brandon followed with his acquaintance by his side, Victoria. Some other men were standing outside now, pushing and shoving each other.

"I think we should leave..." Murmured Brandon near Victoria's ear, trying to snatch the note.

Victoria acted on reflex, flinging her hand away from Brandon's reach. A loud crunch noise was heard and everyone froze. Mi glared at Brandon, then switched his gaze to Victoria.

A few seconds passed before Victoria and Brandon sprinted as fast as they could out of the alley way. Both of them ran out onto the streets and towards the park they were originally at and seeked refuge in a tree.

Mi and his two friends ran into the park, their eyes scanning over the entire premises.

"Mi, calm down." Voiced Dwayne.

Mi let out a savage growl, glaring at his friend.

Johnson cleared his throat, then pointed up at the tree that Brandon and Victoria were perched in. Mi grinned and walked over, his teeth like one of a sharks', making him appear more intimidating.

Victoria slid her shoes off in a hurry, handing them to Brandon.

"What the hell am I supposed to do with your 5 inch heels?" Brandon asked in bewilderment.

"I have a bad aim..." Victoria reasoned.

Mi caught the first shoe Brandon had thrown at him then threw it behind him blindly. The yellow heels sailed through the air before hitting the window of a police vehicle.

"Uh... Mi..." Murmured Dwayne.

"Mi..." Johnson said a bit more loudly.
