A Snow White Story (Aborted)

21 : Blast From The Past?

"Do I look like I've been babysitting a duckling for these years?" The keeper of the club roared at a goth-looking fellow who most probably broke the line and was now trying to talk his way into the club.

"Look, man," He reasoned while Cyan sighed sharply and Roxy groaned as they've been on the line for like . . . 35 minutes?

"Why don't you just throw him out?" Roxy groaned and Cyan nodded in agreement.

After a considerable number of minutes, the club keeper kicked the guy out and proceeded with the line. In no time, Roxy and Cyan were in. The disco ball revolved, under which, a bunch of drunken kids swirled in clumsy angles.

Roxy walked to the counter for a shot while Cyan found herself a guy to hang around with. Roxy brought the cup to her like and gulped the drink. The liquid moved down her throat causing a somewhat burning sensation. Placing the cup on the counter, she turned to the half-drunk kids and swayed lightly with the beats. She liked how she felt light. Meanwhile, she spotted a vaguely identical face smirking at her.

"Sage!" The guy swirled his arms and smirked wide, "Innit?"

"Umm-" She mumbled but the guy cut him off.

"Jason! Remember? The guy from the last time you visited?" He said.

"Well, yeah," Roxy decided to play along with it, "What's up, Jason?"

"Nothing much," He took Roxy by her hand and led her to the dance floor, "Just looking for some hardcore dance."

Roxy chuckled and started swaying with the beats. The music was loud in her ears and lights, bright in her eyes. It came to show that Jason was good with this dance moves and they chuckled once in a while when the beats converged and busted out colours. The crowd went wild with every minute.

Minutes passed and Roxy had a quality time, forgetting about everything and just dancing her heart out. She needed that. All the pressure and blast from her past had exhausted her.

By the time, a couple of kids withdrew from the floor and some six couples including Roxy and Jason were still on. Jason cracked jokes and they were laughing and chuckling about.

"Well, well, well," A deep voice echoed over the music as it slowed down, "What do we have here?"

Jason looked up and Roxy saw his face darkening, she turned around only to see Donovan in all his quirkiness. He wore army trousers and a tight black tee shirt that clung to his body showing off his defined angles and over it, a blue jeans jacket with a number of silver chains hanging low. He smirked at Roxy.

"Traitor much?" Donovan roared a laugh, "Oh no, you didn't even know. Right." He fixed his gaze at Jason, "You and I have got some real business in here, Jay."

"Sage, you're with Donny?" Jason wrinkled his nose, "You never told me."

"Well you never asked," She reasoned.

"There are a lotta things she didn't tell you, mate," Donovan rubbed the back of his neck and turned to Roxy, "Now, princess, if you'll excuse us, I'd like to have a little chat with your boyfriend here."

Roxy almost gagged, "Not my boyfriend and just do what you wanna do, I'm off."

Saying, Roxy left them alone and stood by the counter looking around a bit. From there she could hear them talk.

"I fucking know what we're up against, Jay," Donovan said through gritted teeth. He seemed to be pissed off.

"Like you're gonna teach me shit?" Jason shot back, "The thing is, Tai Xing's out there. Gotta be alert. He's not done yet. Plus I believe, this time, he's gonna show up with something worse and blow up asses."

"I don't even care what he does," Donovan sniffed, "Just gotta keep the barriers high and I'm betting you shit that he's gonna go bankrupt if he does."

Roxy wondered who Tai Xing was and they talked about him like he was an old enemy or maybe he turned. And also the guy sounded dangerous to her.

...we're up against, Donovan had said.

This had something to do with the gang, and Jason, too.

"Plus!" Donovan's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, "I may suggest you to maintain a safe distance from Roxette over there."

"Who're you talking about?" Jason looked lost.

"Really?" Donovan almost laughed, "The girl you were so hitting on? Her?"

"She's Sage."

"She's Ms. Pretty Little Liar."

"Nicer," Jason winked at Roxy that made her heart leap a beat, "Roxette girly. Tell her I'm gonna continue calling her Sage."

"Why though?" Donovan pulled a disgusted face.

"She looks like one," With that Jason left the scene and Donovan walked to Roxy.

"Didn't knew that you knew Jay," Donovan relaxed beside her.

"Didn't knew that you knew Jason," Roxy tried mimicking him.

He let out a dry laugh and leaned closer to her, "Bet you heard maximum of what we talked about, princess."

"Yeah but didn't actually get it," Roxy narrowed her eyes.

"Okay let's get to the car," Donovan tucked her back, "Gotta know everything since this is actually happening and you're a part of it."

Roxy followed him out and slipped into the passenger seat of the car while Donovan jumped onto the drive's.

"Okay so," Donovan started, "As you might know, gangs have always had hostilities between themselves. Especially, the Mafia ones and we're one too. Here's Tai Xing I was talking about, he and my brother, Max worked together for almost a year. The boys were there too and I, preferably stayed as much out of it as I could 'cause I knew it'd be troubling with such a vicious dude."

Roxy processed it in her mind while Donovan continued, "Tai Xing's known for smuggling rare and extremely addicting herbal drugs from Asiatic countries like Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, parts of Eastern China, the whole of India and Myanmar. We split up with him as we got to know to what level he was taking this shit to.

"Last year he got arrested and they say he swore he would destroy the remaining Mafia gangs and take in more men," Donovan finished.

"Scary," Roxy commented, "So what are we gonna do?"

Donovan started the car and the engine boomed to life. He smirked, "Fight back, princess."
