“Where the fuck are you taking me?”
Ze smirks, flicking on the turn signal as he merges into the right lane. “That would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?”
“I don't want to be surprised. I wanna know if I'm getting kidnapped by you and I should call the fucking cops.”
“You willing let me into this car, so very definition, this is not a kidnapping.”, Ze turns into a residential area, one that Aleks has never seen before.
“You could still rape me or kill me or do something illegal to me.”, Aleks points out.
Ze side eyes him. “Don't swing that way, dude, sorry. Seamus does though. Maybe you'll be able to enjoy the pleasure of his company.”
“Who's Seamus?”
At the mention of his name, Ze seems to grow uncomfortable. He fidgets in his seat and grips the steering wheel tight enough that his knuckles go white. “He's... well you'll meet him eventually.”
“Meet him? There's more of you?”
Ze chuckles. “You make it sound like there's clones of me.”
“Well I don't fucking know. I just met you today. You could be a girl for all I know.”
“What a twist that would be.”, Ze smiles as they pull up to a grand looking house in it's own individual cul-de-sac. It's the most extravagant thing Aleks has ever seen in real life.
“Are you guys pimps or something?”, Aleks says as he ogles the house.
“Seamus just knows how to spend his money wisely.”, Ze says, cutting the ignition and getting out of the car. Aleks follows, eyes not leaving the house, leaving the laptop on the passenger seat.
They both walk up to the extravagant doors, passing by the well tended to flower beds on either side of the walkway. Aleks spies a gardener out of the corner of his eyes who works on trimming the hedges.
“Just keep your mouth shut.”, Ze explains, “Only speak when spoken to.”
Aleks nods. He's seen enough movies to know what could possibly happen to him and he's not sure he likes his options. It's pretty unlikely that something good could come out of this.
Ze opens the door, stepping to the side to let Aleks in first. Aleks walks in, Ze following closely behind and Aleks can hear him taking a deep breath behind him.
“Are you-”, Aleks begins.
“I told you to keep your mouth shut.”, Ze snaps.
“Ze?”, a voice from deeper in the house calls out. “Did you bring him?”
