Return to The City Of Scars

The Unicorn

Brianna sat in the limousine, glaring out the window. Ethan looked over at her, snickering. "Calm down," He teased, "I'm sure your asshole of an ex boyfriend will be somewhat decent." Brianna scoffed, "He's barely ever decent, Ethan. He's an asshole." Brianna caught her reflection in the car's window and fixed her hair over her eye patch. Ethan frowned, "You don't need to hide it." He said, "I think it makes you look like a bad ass." Brianna sighed, "Still. I don't want to be reminded of it." Ethan nodded. Silent for a few moments. "Do you want me to redress the wound when we get to the safe house?" He asked. Brianna sighed, "Ethan- I'm fine. Just- just drop it okay?" Ethan obeyed, silent for the entirety of the drive. When they crossed the bridge into the city, Ethan gaped at the sight. It was beautiful. He'd never seen a city so beautiful. Brianna chuckled at the look on his face. "It's beautiful here, isn't it?" Ethan nodded, climbing over to the partition, "Driver! Can you drive us to the pier?" The driver sighed and obeyed. Brianna laughed, grabbing a duffel bag from under the seat. "Here- I packed the emergency swimsuits." Ethan grinned pulling out his own, frowning as his sister pulled out a bikini. "What about your knife wound?" He asked. Brianna smirked and pulled out a second swimsuit, a one piece. "I'll be fine. Now, let's have some fun."

Jack Carsen growled as he got a phone call. They were making a detour. Apparently the twins were going to pick up lunch at Del Perro Pier. Rachel sat beside her boyfriend, draping herself over him and plucking the phone from his hand. She kissed his cheek and smiled, "Jack, calm down. I'm sure they'll be here on time." Jack nodded, pulling her closer. "Yeah. But then again..." He trailed off, not paying attention as his girlfriend straddled him and began kissing him. Rachel frowned seeing she was getting no reaction from her lover. "Jack," She whined. Jack shook his mind of the thoughts and smiled kissing her. "I'm fine, baby." He promised. She grinned, pulling him to his feet. "Come on, let's go dance." Jack laughed as she pulled him into the back of the establishment and into one of the dance rooms. He was happy with Rachel. Rachel was everything to him, he didn't need Brianna. Rachel Bottino was more than enough for him.

Brianna sat across from her brother at the restaurant, donning a pair of sunglasses to hide her eye patch. The henchman who was guarding them sat nearby with the driver, keeping a firm eye on them. Brianna to a bit out of her burger, moaning in delight. "We need to come here more often." Ethan nodded in agreement, he couldn't remember the last time he'd felt this satisfied on a work trip. Brianna snickered, "Maybe I'll just get back with my asshole ex just so we can come here more!" The twins laughed. Ethan looked out over the water. "Maybe we should get a place out here," He said. "Stay away from mom and dad for a bit." Brianna chuckled, "That sounds nice, maybe just outside of the city so we can have a nice big house." Ethan grinned before gasping and taking his sister's hands in his, "Oh! We should go house hunting!" Brianna squealed in delight, "You. Are. The. Absolute. Best. Brother. Ever!" The twins finished their lunch and left the restaurant, wandering about the pier. When they got to the beach, they sat in the sand, on their phones and looking at properties. The henchman cleared his throat and walked over, "Your highness's'," He said, "We should be going, we're nearly late." Brianna sighed, waving the man off. "If Jack wants to see us he can do that himself." The twins laughed, going back to looking at properties. A few minutes later, Brianna's phone rang. When the two siblings saw the caller id, they cringed before answering. "Yes, father?" They said. "What the hell are you doing?!" The Joker snarled, "You were meant to be at the airbnb an hour ago! And The Vanilla Unicorn two hours ago!" The twins looked confused, "We couldn't have been here that long?" Brianna asked, Ethan pulled out his phone and cursed loudly. "We have." He said, "Lets go." The twins climbed to their feet and climbed back into the limo. Joker yelled at them over the phone the entire time, "You two are the most irresponsible children I have ever met!" He roared, "I expect more from you! Especially my heiress who just got reinstated!" Ethan looked surprised, "You were reinstated?" He asked, Brianna giggled nervously, "Surprise?" Ethan chuckled, "Very."  Joker hissed, "You won't be reinstated for long if you keep this up!" Brianna sighed, "We're on our way now, so you don't worry your pretty little head." Brianna hung up before he could respond and grabbed a second duffel bag, "We better get changed," She said tossing him a royal purple suit.
