The Puppeteer part 2 (cut and repost)

The Puppeteer - Their deal

I walk out from the basement and pay Zylen a glance, he is in deep sleep. I lock the door. William was waiting at the living room. Watching TV

"You stay all night" he said. The clock at the wall pointing to 6. "Drink something before you leave.

I accept his offer and sit on the other couch taking a sip at the red wine. "Taste good, you always got wines ready"

"A military man best friends are ciggarate, that's what they say" he took a gulp "liquors included for me" he chuckled

"You got a brand new tattoo" I watch his bulky arms, he must have been training harder lately

"You like 'em?" He asked lean forward to show me closer. He's really strong

"Yeah, you looks awesome"

He snickers "I'm the real man" and add more wines to my glass. He didn't move his eyes from the TV it was some cowboy movie

"I got something to talk to you William"

"Go on" he light his cigarette with a classic huge lighter.

"You shouldn't use fire to hurt someone" I tell him, I remember clearly how Zylen beg me to help him. I will not let him face this punishment.

"Oh? What's that piece of shit told you? He didn't know how to keep his mouth shut didn't he?" William blows roughly, I know he is slightly pissed.

"I won't pay for zombie, I only pay for quality products" I arrogantly claimed and he took a big gulp. "Mind your own business, you spend the whole night here just to tell me this?"

"I was thinking to take Zylen with me sometimes too" I watch as he turn the channel.

"Sure, why not. But not without a price"

"I'll pay double"

He chuckled. "You need to do me a favour"

"What is it?" I asked. "Convince him to do some extra jobs, and keep him locked"

My eyes twitch. Extra jobs? What could that be?

"Just let me know when you need me" I offered. "Deal" he replied

So I walk to the door

"Jessica"

I turn to my back

"You forget something" he wave his hand. Drugs in his hand

"I don't need that" I proceed my step.

"Not for you, for him"
