Faded Formality

Designated Driver

After that whole ordeal with the assassin we asked the name of the assassin. He didn't tell us anything all he did was lie there.

"Come on man tell us something." I said as I tried to bargin with him.

"Do you have money?" He asked.

At that moment I realized I didn't even have to fight him. All I had to do was buy him off.

"If all you want was money then I can give you more money than you'll ever need." I said.

"You better have 2 million dollars. The Witches hand was going to pay me 100,000." He said as if I couldn't top that.

"I can give more than 2 million and it won't even dent my wallet." I said with a grin. Man normally I don't like being rich but this is one of its highlights. "How should I pay you?" I asked.

"Send the money to the account." He said as he passed the phone over to me. I sent the money through my account and gave him back his phone.

"Crap I added an extra zero. Oh well." I said still knowing it wouldn't dent a hole on my wallet at all. My dad is a world-class bussiness conglomerate. He has over 6 million bussinesses and more money than he has bussiness with. He looked at his phone and his eyes widen with shock.

"I won't ever have to kill again. What did you need me to do?" He asked.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Luke. Luke Vincent. Happily at your service." He said as he smiled.

"Why does the Witches Hand wanna kill me and Karma?" I asked.

"They need you for some sort of ritual. They need Karma to analyze what type of spell her mother used." He said.

"What's the ritual about?" I asked.

"I don't know." He said. By his heart rate he wasn't lying. But his heart rate speed up for a moment.

"Now that I told you all that the witches are going to kill me." I said as he laughed. There was fear behind that laugh. Not surprised.

"You won't have to worry about that. I want you to come live with me." I said as I helped him up.

"You what?!" said Karma in shock.

"I think he should live with us. I would be easier if he did." I said.

"You want me to live with us?" He asked.

"Yeah. It doesn't matter if you tried to kill me. I trust that you won't now." I said with a grin.

"You trust people too easily....but I would be glad to take you up on that offer." He said.

"One catch though." I said.

"Catch?" he tilted his head in confusion.

"Yeah as of now you're officially a butler." I said while I was laughing.

"What?" Said Karma.

"Is that all?" He asked as if he was going to willingly accept it.

"Yup." I said.

He stood in silence and only nods. Karma looks at me like she's about to kill me. I only smile and put my hands on my head. Karma's phone starts to ring.

"Hey Adam. I know I know our date is tonight. Trust me I'll make it. Okay.....okay I'm on my way." She said as she hung up the phone. I completely forgot about that date of hers.

"You should go. I'll go back to the house. I'll go pick up Karla." I said.

"I'll see you later I guess." She jump from the building and went to her to bike put on her helmet and drove off in a instant. I went up the building and picked up Karla in my arms. I me and Luke started walking.
