14 The tour (1/2)
Lewis looked at the Lance and asked ”is that alright with you?”
”Should be since I'm the boss am I not?” Dante said curtly with a challenging gaze that switch from Lance to Lewis.
”Fuck you got me there” Lance laughed as he put both his hands up he looked at Lewis and said ”well you heard the boy”
”This may sound rude but could you tell me your names? I don't think I've had the pleasure of an introduction” Lewis asked cautiously.
Dante looked at Lance in which he nodded back as if understanding the unspoken question. ”You can call me Lance” he said pointing at himself and then gesturing to his side he said ”and this is Dante”
”Dante and Martello those sound familiar hmmm...” Lewis thought as he contemplated the idea that was forming in his mind.
Dante made an impatient gesture with his hand as he saw the look on Lewis's face. It was a face of a man that had just been hinted at that there was something important that he was forgetting: like his marriage anniversary, his mother's birthday, car keys or clean underwear. Then the dots joined together as shown by the shock on his face. Dante sighed ”fucking finally” he muttered. ”It used to be fun reading about shocked people with the reveal of the main characters identity once you got 1000 chapters into a novel, but it seems so tedious and repetitive in real life” Dante thought .
”Why is a five year old visiting an establishment like this?” Lewis asked as he looked at Lance with unease.
”That is because this five year old is taking over this place. Let's go I won't tell mother” Dante said with a grin underneath his mask.
Lewis Face paled as he thought about Julia Martello when he went to Dante's 2nd birthday party as the manager of Hells paradise he heard a rumor. It was said that if you messed with Ferdinand's children you had better meet Ferdinand instead of Julia at least with Ferdinand you would meet a quick end. Lewis tried to stop himself from shaking as he failed to not to think of the legends of the Demoness of the underworld who turned the city's name to hell forge during her reign. ”I'm so fucked if she finds out ” Lewis thought cursing the little imp in front of him he muttered in a hushed tone ”can we keep this between us because my life and sanity are at risk here”
”Of course this is between friends and my ass is in risk of a beating that will make even the devil wince in sympathy” Dante laughed he turned to Lance ”what did you just hear?”
Lance took the hint with a look of understanding he said ”hear what?”
”Ok let's go” Dante nodded as he walked out of the room.
”Let's start with by going left shall we” Lewis directed to the corridor on the left. The walls were just a cream colour with wooden floor boards that seemed to creak every five steps. Dante looked at the evenly spaced doors along the walls. The air had a strong mixed scent of cologne, perfume, cigarette smoke and alcohol. ”Isn't the night a bit noisy if you are working I your office” Dante said gesturing to the rooms.
Lewis gave an embarrassed smile ”that is why I don't work in my office at night”
”I'm guessing by your face this is where the special dancers relive clients stress and desires?” Dante laughed ”my virgin sense is tingling” Dante thought with a devilish smile.
