His thoughts were
turned aside for now, Lily would need be to consulted on the matter. Nathan was not so jaded and cruel that he
would avoid asking the person he cared the most about if what he was doing was
right or not. Things slowed down after
that, the drive was cold and quiet, Tesla barely said a word. Those that she did say were mostly along the
lines of asking if he was alright or if what she was doing was proper. Nathan didn’t respond either, he was too
angry for that. So he laid there, his
body starting to relax though his mind not forgetting what had just
unfolded. It wasn’t long before the
vehicle came to a halt.
Both stepped out,
weapon on their hips and staring at the three story building with a obsidian
glass door and a cold exterior of marble finished stone. Nathan had only to touch it to know it was
simply a visual modification, the feeling of course brick ran under his fingers
making him roll his eyes. Too much focus
on appearances, the place was a whore house not a restaurant or some hotel. Turning the corner that marked the entrance
and stepping inside, he was greeted with a room that might as well have been
right out of a movie.
Six black couches lined the walls around a pool table topping a bright red carpet next to a bar inside of the dimly lit room. A chandelier dangled over head, though the lights had been dimmed down low and a thick haze of smoke ringed about the ceiling as a few hookers sat with legs crossed in their skimpy outfits and bellowed the aforementioned smoke. Most were aliens, but at least two were human, a few pimps came out to meet them, fat men with shifty eyes and greedy smiles. Nathan only needed to look around a bit to see the illusion.

There was only one
floor, the upper two were nothing but facades as there were no stairs anywhere
in the building nor any elevators. The
hallways all lead down to the first six rooms and there were no sounds of
fornication anywhere; just looking Nathan knew they couldn’t afford sound
proofing. Gazing at the prostitutes, he
counted eight, a quick glance down the hall showed six rooms, two of them must
have been front runners, just there to tease when necessary. Another door lead to the privy, but otherwise
nothing else was around.
Nathan only looked at
Tesla as the pimp stared to welcome them and they unholstered their weapons,
neither needed to aim. The pimps were
too close and too broad to miss.
