Emperor
Brian, brion and alaric sit as they look at their surroundings with their face mask on.
They ate in a place called "emperor".
Not everyone can enter the emperor. The place is bustling with music as stripers dance and some pleasuring themselves.
Alaric looks enthusiastic as he hits brion shoulders, "Hey bro, you still haven't told us how you got a pass to this place".
Brion grins slyly,"right ,this is no ordinary strip club,influential people come here,businessmen and politicians".
" Just like there's hierarchy in social status,theres hierarchy here,this is just the place for people who earn millions".
Alaric taps the table"I once tried coming here,but even with a fake ID card,I wasn't allowed".
Brion laughs and looks at alaric,"oh you must think that what we were showing was a regular ID card,let me show you".
He brings a card from his pocket and shows it to alaric and brian. Its a designed gold card with some unreadable words written on it.
"It's just a gold card" ,brian says.
Brion looks at brian,no brother it's not,you may not understand,but just know you can't enter without me.
"So how did you get it",brian asks.
Brion smirks as he glances at them,"how I got it,is a secret but takes this as an apology",
He puts his hand on brian shoulder,"I haven't been in my best behavior,I finally understood what youve been saying,I promise you that i won't be like how i was in the past".
He releases his hand and glances at alaric and then brian," welcome the new brion".
Brion leans on the table,"alright now do you want to go to the vvip area".
Alaric narrows his eyes at brion," Tell me the truth brion,it can't be only once youve been here right?".
Brion chuckles as he stands to lead the way.
The only people wearing mask were guest.
"Shall we go to the swimming pool area,also knowns as the emperor courtyard,trust me,there is much more interesting",brion grins slyly as he walks leading the two.
They reach huge two doors guarded by guards,all in black suits and shades.
"Are you new" ,a guard asks.
Brion showed another card to the guard.
The guard nods,"well you know the procedure".
"What procedure?",brian whispers to brion.
A guard walks to them with a box and brion hands his phone and signals alaric and brian to do the same.
When done,the guard seals the box and the three signs on it and wrote the details of their phone in a paper handed by the guards.
The guard nods,"if you have any camera with you or any spy devices,turn them in,if you're caught with it,you will not only be banned from emperor but also,you will not like the consequences no matter who you are",he says with a rough voice.
Brion faces alaric and brian,and they shake their heads.
They are scanned and the doors opened to them.
Some girls with bikinis sit beside the pool and some are swimming,some having sex with the guests in the pool.
Brian closes his eyes"Am not sure I can handle this".
Alaric grins,"tell me brion are you sure is only once you came here".
Brion grins,"yes it is".
Alaric smirks,"Is this where you lost your virginity,heh?"
They laugh together.
Brion laughs," no!" ,he says sharply,"it's still there".
"If it's still there,then I saw pigs fly" ,alaric laughs.
Alright let's sit.
They sit across a round table,feeding their eyes.
"Let's drink" ,alaric says as he signals for drinks.
"We can drink but shouldn't get drunk,you don't want everyone finding out we're high schoolers"brion says.
The large swimming pool is in the middle surrounded by chairs and tables that is not close to the pool.
Still here,only guests wears mask.
Alaric nudges brian's shoulder," you might see your uncle here".
"I saw him last time",brion drinks,"even if people are wearing mask,there's a high probability that you can recognize someone you're close too".
" Nice one"alaric chuckles," is there anyone you recognize right now".
"No",brion says flatly.
Alaric looks at brian,who is looking somewhere particular," Hey brion,look at your brother,I wonder what's his gazing at".
Brion curves a smile," brian if you want someone,just ring that little bell on the table, someone will attend to you".
Brian still looks absentminded.
" Hey",alaric snaps his fingers at brian," I wonder who's stealing you from us,did you here what brion said?".
" Oh,what did he say?",brian asks.
" If you're interested in someone here,ring that bell and someone Will attend to you",alaric says.
Nah,"am not interested in anyone,and is it just me or do these girls look like our age mates".
Alaric sighs," Is that your problem",he asks.
"Not that",brian says flatly as he drinks.
Alaric chuckles,"what then?,were you thinking of something or are you afraid of your parents finding you here,hey did you and brion do a character switch?",he laughs.
"I don't think they will",brion chuckles,"we're not Aiden that our dad has to install a tracker on our phone".
" And so,what I was looking at,is that girl sitting at the edge of the pool alone,isn't that the girl in your class,that one you like",brian puts his hand on his chin,"what's her name again"?".
" Creole?,I don't think so" ,alaric says as he looks at brian's direction, he's speechless.
"What is she..?",he frowns As he rings the bell staring at her.
A man walks towards him"what do you need".
Alaric deepens his voice,"her",he points at the girl sitting at the edge of the pool.
"Oh sorry sir,but she's reserved for one person alone,she's been reserved for a long-term,sir I can show different girls who looks more pleasing to the eye"
" No need,you can go",he says as he looks furious.
The man nods and walks out.
He pours a drink in his cup and drinks angrily.
Brian sighs,"I never expected her to be a whore,such a pity,",he pats alaric's shoulder,"you'll find another one,is a good thing that you're not together with her".
Alaric breathes angrily,"I like to see the person that reserved her.
Alaric watches as a man whispers to creole and she follows behind him.
" Brion is that him?",alaric asks.
" I don't know,it's my first time seeing her here,it seems she doesn't work every day",brion says.
Alaric stands to follow the man and creole outside the huge doors.
He collected his phone and followed them.
The man and creole walks to a man wearing a gold mask, guarded by eight guards,who seems to be his personal guards.
The mask only covered his eyes,so it's seen,the man face is a little wrinkled.
Alaric walks closer as he recognizes one of the bodyguards face.
His father bodyguard.
Alaric furrows his eyebrows as at them and wrist and sees a watch.
He recalls that's it's the same as what he father wore that morning.
His breath shakens as he takes one step back"it can't be",he mutters in fear.
He blinks repeatedly from shock as he dials his father number.
A phone rings and one of the bodyguards handed the phone to the gold mask man
He picks it,"hey son,how are you,I'll call you later" ,he hangs up.
Alaric clenches his fist and followed them outside the building.
