45 Strange Turn of Events Part 4 (1/2)

Home at his apartment building wearing some cheap clothes he got at the lost and found section. Desmond after having to wait at the Newport hospital cuffed to a bed for so many days let out a long awaited sigh of relief. ”The DCPD people let me go because of lack of evidence and because the case was no longer theirs they had it transferred to a different group of people.

Since the doctors already gave me some surgery because I accidentally nicked something when I stabbed myself and since I was healthy as a man who just got stabbed they let me go. The funny thing about this world is surgery is very cheap I asked them to just give me a healing potion, but it cost 150 magic crystals for the cheapest one”.

Desmond berated himself for chugging down those healing potions like there was no tomorrow he did that till he was in front of the door to his room. Where he saw it was closed shut with some rope and a nail, Desmond shook his head at the shabby work done to fix his door then removed the rope and walked in.

His room was a mess he could tell it was the DCPD because he didn't think Vincent's gang was built much on close ties and loyalty plus he had never heard of officers that fix the place up when there done searching it.

”At least they didn't ruin my books” Desmond turned on his magic sight and took a look around his place to see if he could find anything with magic on it. He could tell if something is magical or not even guess the strength of the magic inside something depending on the intensity of the glow around the item in question.

After walking around Desmond found nothing just the glow from the magic Crystals he had hidden under his bed along with the 800 drachma (8 Gold mine) which the DCPD definitely found. He was happy that at least nothing was taken before Desmond could celebrate his small victory he heard someone walking in his living room he wasn't surprised to see it was Oleg.

Oleg was Dressed only in a pink bathrobe and fluffy slippers the hair on his body was still wet the man clearly just got out of the shower. Whiffs of steam rose up off his body while drops of water dripped down his legs moistening the floor beneath him making this hairy beast of a man look as wild and untamed like the Amazon Rain forest.

His gaze locked on Desmond when he entered the room like a hunter who found its pray ”Desmond fucking Gillies what the hell man? You come back after weeks of not paying rent, get your ass beat up in my apartment building, have 2 men stalk my halls for days scaring my tenants they even break my door. Then I have my place raided by the DCPD asking question after question to me and everyone else that knew you. Only for me to find out you got into all this shit because of Vincent Marino.

Aren't I a good landlord I buy a big and beautiful A/C unit for all my tenants I even have a cellphone booth attached to the building. So why do you insist on bringing me all this trouble?

Desmond with his mouth wide open not believing what he was hearing ”That A/C unit you bought has never once been turned on in all the time I've been here”.

”that's because I only turn it on when its hot outside”
