Chapter 235 - First Day Of Work (1/2)

Gods, Artifacts, other worlds and... what the hell was with the kissing at the end? Laz felt there was more to it than a simple... greeting or goodbye. But still.

Sure, it had been a while since he had been with a woman, all things considered. However he didn't feel at though those women would suddenly just fall for him. And besides, Laz didn't really understand how they were vampyres as the whole thing never came up. It seemed like they had hid that stuff from him while he was there.

'Maybe there was a reason?'

Laz didn't know. So like all things that had happened to him lately, he just filed it under his not my business folder and began to walk back to the apartment. It was already late and Laz was getting a bit tired thanks to all the events that happened in one day. He really had no clue what he was suppose to do next, other than go to work and check out that sword of his. And figure out what the hell the ritual that was going on was all about.

'I need to check into that.'

And he had to keep an eye on Julia since having another infected close to him that he knew nothing about was never a good thing.

Laz was beginning to think that maybe he was a bit more busy that he originally thought, or at least he had quite a few things on his plate now. On top of that, he missed his girls. Maybe it was a bit of ego talking through him or even pride. But after everything that had gone on, he really began to think of them as his girls. Thinking about it, maybe the kissing had woken him up to this thought. After all, there is a big difference between the kiss of a girl who cares about you and the kiss from someone who just seems to want something.

At least Laz thought so.

Either way, nothing was going to get done by standing around and thinking about it.

As Laz made his way back, he decided on a game plan. He needed to go to work tomorrow and after that, he would investigate his sword more. He had said he would visit Heaven or Hell soon, but he wasn't too keen on heading back just yet. He had just met them today and they had a god in their presence. He wasn't to keen on spending too much time there. Instead, he would go though just because they were a force that at least Laz had a bit of trust with, even if they were just using him. Compared to the Vodun of the Children of God, they were the best choice.

It was only now that Laz had a thought about building a force of his own. He had never considered it before, but it could be useful. It was only a thought though. He really would have no idea how to do it and besides which, raising others would hinder you from the ability to raise yourself. And Laz could barely manage to do that on his own.

...

”Where have you been? Find a girl and decide to have some day s.e.x?” Eddy asked.

”Is that even a thing? I mean, s.e.x is s.e.x, day or night right?” Laz asked, grabbing a water from the fridge before sitting down on one of the recliners.

”I don't know. Just seemed to fit. I mean you don't know anyone here and didn't decide to hang out with us so... I figured... s.e.x?” Eddy responded back while laughing. Benny was laughing too. The only one who seemed concerned was Abraham who looked like he was slightly worried about this new friend who disappeared for a day.

”Nah. I had some things to run and then ended up eating at a restaurant I found.” Laz replied, acting nonchalant.

”Oh? Anywhere good?”

”Yeah. It was. Ever hear of Heaven or Hell?” Laz asked. He figured it was best to get some local opinions about the place to see what people who didn't know what went on there thought.

Laz waited a minute while watching TV to see if Benny or Eddy responded, only to hear silence. Laz casually looked over and saw them both staring at him with wide eyes. In fact, Benny's cell had fallen out of his hands while his face looked like he had seen a ghost.

”What?”

”You're... tell me you're kidding?” Eddy asked, while Benny was brain dead.

”Uh... no?”

”Dude... Tell me you're f.u.c.k.i.n.g kidding?” Eddy repeated himself, this time with a mix of excitement.

”I'm not..?”

”Holy shit.”

”F.u.c.k...” Benny finally got something out of his mouth. Even Abraham was looking over with interest as though wondering what had these guys asking like this. As they were coming back form having dinner, him, Benny and Eddy had been propositioned by some working girls and spent the next five minutes flurting with them before walking away. After all, they neither had money to spend nor the want to. But to Abraham, being approached by a girl about having s.e.x for money was something he had never experienced before and he could barely get a word out as the girl was rubbing up against him. Luckily, he was saved. And to him, it looked like they weren't bother by this in the least. So watching them lose it over Laz just having dinner somewhere was an eye opener. He didn't think these guys would be surprised by anything. Of course, that was just based on his view.

”Is that really so great?” Abraham asked.

”Yeah. Yeah it is. Don't you know what Heaven or Hell is?” Eddy asked, looking at the young man.

”No?”

”It's the one place every man dreams of going, but can't. You have to be invited. Hell, do you think you can just walk in off the street?” Eddy asked.

'I did,' Laz thought.

”You can't? What kind of restaurant is that than? Is it expensive?” Abraham asked, still confused.

”No it's...” Eddy was about to continue, but Benny cut him off.

”The girls... are the really as beautiful as the rumors say?” Benny asked Laz.

”Yes?” Laz was confused.

”Then... did they do anything... weird?” Benny asked, focusing on Laz's response.

”Weird? No... I mean. I ate, met a few girls and left. Well, I guess I met the girls before I ate... and some after... why?” Laz was playing stupid. He already had an idea what Benny was asking.

”Because. You remember about the whole... groups thing in town. The strange happenings and shit?” Benny pressed on.

”Yes.”

”Heaven or Hell is suppose to be the base of the vampyres operation.”

”Really?” Laz kept up the innocent act.

”Yes. Really. And every worker there is a drop dead gorgeous hottie that guys like us could only dream about.” Eddy responded this time.

”Why would you dream about them? Especially if they are blood suckers?” Laz asked, wondering if Eddy has special tastes.

”They... don't kill people. At least, nothing had been like confirmed like that.”

”OK?”

”I mean, you can lose a lot of blood and not die. It happens all the time. It's not healthy, but it happens.” Eddy went on.

”Right.” 'Uhh?” Laz's inner voice and outer voice where saying two different things.

”And from what we've heard... it's like... better than s.e.x.” Benny competed the thought.

Laz just looked at the two of them as though he was watching two idiots while Abraham had no idea what they meant. After all, he hadn't even had s.e.x yet.

”You know what? We have work in the morning. I'm going to bed.” Laz turned around, leaving these two with their interesting fetishes to themselves. At least he tried too.

”OH HELL NO.”

”GET YOUR A.S.S BACK HERE.”

Benny and Eddy jumped after Laz and after a few moments of play fighting, they dragged Laz back to the living room to explain everything that he saw and what happened, or at least, what he would tell them. By the end, Laz had mentioned that he might take them for a meal sometime, but that would depend on if he was allowed back. Benny and Eddy had gotten the idea from Laz that it was some sort of club like thing that required access without saying such. Since they had all just kind of met each other, they wouldn't pry much more. Laz also offered to invite Abraham, but he seemed to think it wasn't a good place to go.
