" Oi money grubber. I heard a communitt we've been targeting are looking for private security. You better send in whoever the fuck you need to secure a contract."
I grinned. Stinky Pete worked fast and well. That was the reason he wasn't just an ordinary street rat and why I chose to continue working with him." Thanks Pete. At this rate, you'll be finding yourself the only gang in that part of the city soon enough. "
The street rat turned gangster clicked his tongue but couldn't hide the growing smirk on his face. " Whatever. I'm out."
With that, the video call ended. What a tsundere. In the next second, I was sent the community location along with key figures there.
Calling Cody back on Mars, the phone rang for ten seconds before he picked up. " Boss?"
" Cody, I'll be sending you the location of a community looking for security along with key figures there. Find out what you can before offering our services. The lowest you can go is just below industry standard. We're unknown but we won't be scammed. "
" Okay boss. "
Dropping the call, I sent the boy the details. Cody was a good business man with even more potential. I was just worried that they would take him as a joke or try to swindle him but that boy was tough and if they didn't want to accept, they would find the attacks getting exponentially worse.
Just as I dropped the pad, Andre barged into my room. " You, me, the bois and a ship full of babes. Let's go."
" You do realise tha-"
" Stop playing games with me. Put on a shirt and lets go. I highly doubt they are all devoted wives. Even if he had the stamina, there's no way Naze can take care of all their needs."
This is why they say never to surround yourself with bad influences.
I unfortunately could see no way to refute that nor did I really want to, so I did as told, put on some rare cologne I stole from Maruba's room back on Mars and followed the eager Andre to the transport ship filled with some of my closer companions I haven't talked to in a bit.
" Wow, has his highness finally blessed us with his presence. " Robby, one of our best engineers and resident hot head sneered out. He was one of the guys that came with me from the gang.
Found him building and repairing broken electronics and selling it for cash before I had him recruited into the gang. He was feral as they came. Would stab anyone that even looked at him wrong but he's mellowed out now.
He'll only threaten to stab you if you look at him wrong.
" Yeah, yeah, I know I've been a bit preoccupied."
" Robby is right. You hadn't even checked up on me and the guys after the suicide mission to Naze's ship." David, the second best shot among us, behind me off course but he'll bitch and moan about it if you mention it.
Another one of the gang members I brought with me from the gang. He was in the gang before me. I don't know much about his past. He keeps it private and I suspect is has to do with that knife scar over his heart.
" I-I'm sure its not his fault. Being a leader is a lot of work you know. I couldn't imagine how much work he has been through." the final and smallest boy here, Richard. You wouldn't believe he was in a gang if you took a look at his soft appearance.
His parents had been killed in a car crash and he had to live with abusive grandparents, resulting in him running away. I found him about to get the prison shower treatment in some alley when I saved him. Accidentally saved him.
The guys about to touch his no-no zone were recurring thorns to my side. Petty thieves really but any cent lost is a cent that could have made a whole credit and that's unacceptable. Ever since I and my led dumper saved him, he had been stuck to me ever since. He was upper middle class before shit hit the fan for him so he knew how to read, write, count and do other basic thing street rats were not familiar with so I kept him as an assistant.
Damn, now that I think about it, where the hell was he? I could have used his help. He must have thought he would get in the way. He was quite meek and had a bit of an inferiority complex when it came to me.
Weird guy.
" How did I know that as soon as he came back, you'd be slobbering his meat again." Robby snorted out, earning an embarrassed glare from Richy as I liked to call him.
" I'm surprised you're here, Richy. You don't seem like the type to like this sort of stuff."
" Yeah, I was also confused why Big Dre invited him but apparently, he thinks the boy's baby face can get all the ladies." David explained, shooting a skeptical look Andre's way, who was currently starting the ship up.
" I always thought the scam of a man was for the pole polishers side with how much he sucks your cock, boss man." Robby said, a smug grin on his face.
" I-I don't suc-, I dont do those dirty things to the boss. I just respect him. He was the only one to lo-"
" Look out for you back when you nearly got molested then when any pansy in the gang wanted to lose the heat by putting your ass on the spitroast instead. Yeah, we know, we were there." Robby finished for the flustered feminine boy. " Look here Dick, just don't scare the hoes and we're good."
Richy just sighed but nodded his head.
" Don't worry Richy, I'm sure we can get you something. "
While we were having our little conversation, Andre got the ship going and we were soon flying to the ship filled with bootiful treasures. As the transport ship approached the treasure ship, I was starting to get some cold feet, and luckily, I wasn't the only one.
" I don't know about this guys. Naze is our only way to get to earth and I don't think I wanna rui…"
"Holy shit, look at the rack on that one!"
Richy's words were cut off by Robby as we all stared out of the ship. We were entering the docking bay and we got to see the amount of beauties around. This lucky motherfucker Naze had everything under the sun. Blue eyed blondies, caramel skinned sisters, arabian spices and was that a goth?
" Oh yeah, we eating good today." David murmured as he had his eyes on a snowbunny from the arctic with how pale her skin was but she had a face even a polar bear could love.
I couldn't help but agree with that statement.
" Hey, play some tunes. We got to look cool." Robby announced.
" I dont know about that. Don't you think that would look…I don't know, desperate for attention or something. " Andre replied as he began landing our vessel.
" I say we do it. Would be funny at the very least if we fuck it up."
With no one else disagreeing, Andre brought out his mini computer, connected it to the ship while Robby took over piloting and started doing laps in the docking bay to delay our landing.
"What song?"
" Rock"
" Jazz"
" Hip hop."
I was the only one who didn't say anything, so all eyes went to me. Well, Richy didn't say anything either but he was Richy. I shrugged. " Lets have fun with it. Press shuffle and we go out on what's playing."
Everyone grumbled but accepted my proposal. As we finally landed, a song I never could have expected, especially in this era. Hell, I didn't know it could exist in this universe.
Get up, get up, get up, get up
" Holy shit."
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.
Andre and I met gazes and we both knew what we had to do. " Its only worked once. Think we can do it again?"
Andre nodded, a wide grin on." We may not be as drunk but we sure are as enthusiastic."
Ignoring the confused looks we got, Andre and I jumped out of the ship, and we began the performance of our lifetime.
*******
Maybe I overestimated how much love each girl had for Naze or underestimated how much women loved a good performance because by the end of the performance, we were given a tour and following group lunch by a bunch of women.
Even though the other three hadn't participated, they managed to leech off our success. Oh, and Andre was right about Richy. Though, I wasn't sure whether or not he would get some or get treated like a teddy bear by the end of this. Either way, more than anything he's ever gotten so big ups to him.
Andre pulled us to the side while the ladies went for a group bathroom pow wow. A tense silence hung in the air before we broke out in grins and began high fiving and fist pumping.
" Congratulations boys, we're so close to the land of the pillowie gods. We've done all we can together but now it's time to go on our own quest. "
We all nodded in determination. " Rule of thumb, whatever you guys are thinking you should do, likely do the opposite, especially you Robby. Actually, mostly you Robby. "
" Defuq? What did I do?"
We all raised our eyebrows at him.
" Fine, fine. Discriminate against the guy with a sense of humour."
That was when a thought hit me." Hey guys…we don't have any protection."
A look of realisation came over everyones face.
" Shit, he's right." Robby muttered, a hand going through his greasy slick back hair.
" Well, Naze has dozens of kids. I'm sure any potential spawn we create would go unnoticed."
" David's right. Plus, we'll likely be gone when shit hits the fan anyway right?"
Ah, yes. The classic strategy: pump and dump. Well, I can't argue with a sound strategy like that. " Okay, now that that's done. Dibs on the ginger and multi colored haired one."
Before anyone could refute, I made my way to the approaching group of girls, putting my best smile back on.
" That motherfucker."
*******
" Ah, fuck. " I groaned as I woke up.
Fuck, I'm a victim of my own success.
I had gone for a few rounds, pushing past the pain. It reminded me of the day I had masterbated twelve times but worse since my whole body was sore. As much as I wished to stay, I didn't want to be spotted here the next mor-is it morning? Whatever, I needed to get going now.
" Fuck, I should have stopped at the fifth shot." I muttered, rubbing my temples briefly.
I don't remember if Naze was possessive over his harem and I wasn't gonna find out. Detangling myself from the two beauties, I practically crawled to my clothing. I wasn't surprised when the two woke up with how much noise I was making and found the scene quite funny if the smirks on their faces told me anything.
"Sorry ladies. I'm normally a morning cuddler but I would rather not jeopardise the cordial relationship I have with the big man. "
The Harley quinn- Lucy mashup rolled onto her stomach, resting her chin on her hands, amusement dancing in her blue eyes. "Aw, worried Naze's gonna be mad atcha?"
I huffed, adjusting my belt. "Not particularly. But I figure pushing my luck too much ain't smart."
The Natasha look alike grinned. "Smart and fun? Huh, rare find."
Harley-Lucy smirked. " You ever swing back this way, pretty boy, you know where to find us."
I briefly thought if I should ask for their names but decided against it. Seemed kinda late. I limped out the door only to then come back in to ask if one of them could help me find my bois. Andre was a few rooms down and seemed in the same condition as me.
Richy was in a room full of girls and looked like he didn't get a wink of sleep, though likely not for the reason you'd think, or maybe the exact reason you would think. The one worst of all, Robby somehow managed to get shitfaced drunk and had hilariously slept with the overweight cook who looked to be in her mid forties.
We managed to sneak our way to our transport ship and leave.
" God, I dont think I can get hard anymore."
" I'm afraid to check if mine is still attached to my body."
Robby groaned. " Shut the fuck up. Your voices are too loud."
We both looked at each other and our next words were said in unison.
" Worth it."
That was when a stray thought hit me.
" Wait, where's David?"
