Chapter 59 - Frustration

— That's how ... — Revi said thoughtfully and quietly, looking into the void

— Yeah. Hiro nodded innocently, seeing how the girl's eyes sharpened and her body tensed, showing a formidable predatory possessive grin — Is everything okay?

- yes. Thanks, kid. Revie answered automatically, getting up from her chair and heading for the exit. She needed to get out into the cool breeze and think about everything while smoking at the same time.

Many noticed her stiff gait, but did not attach much importance.

Opening the door to the outside too abruptly, Revie immediately heard— Wha! Who?! You again!? Is she fucked up or something? Who opens doors like that?

It was that subordinate of Balalaika who was indignant that he was the first to meet her at Ishtar.

— Fuck off into the fog! Revie shouted sharply with a wild look and stepped aside from the entrance

— That bitch. — pursing his lips with anger, the man said, but did not allow rage to take over

A showdown with Jack's friend will bring nothing but trouble, because soon there will be a meeting of two bosses of the large forces of Ruanapur. To shit such a thing because of such an occasion is nothing but stupidity.

A woman's rather rough palm impetuously flew into the pockets of her shorts, taking out a lighter and a half-empty pack of cigarettes.

With a "teal", the tobacco was set on fire, and the subsequent puff pulled out threads of smoke from it and pulled into the lungs.

Revie exhaled heavily, blowing smoke through her nose— "Calm down. It doesn't mean anything. Well, I came back late and what? Well, I came wet, like after a shower, what's next? This is all far-fetched crap because of a freaking nun with shitty advice." — Revie reassured herself, although everything worked exactly the opposite

"...although I teased him all day, and then he massaged that bitch... even more suspiciously, she held her hand at the level of his groin... and when they returned, they were with her and he stayed with her late..."

Pursing her lips tightly, she almost bit into a cigarette, but then a conversation between two Balalaika people who were lazily standing at the entrance to Ishtar reached her ears.

— By the way, you heard everything yesterday, huh? Your room is next door.

- yes. I didn't think there was so much speed in the guy. — the man grinned, rubbing his sleepy face — I just changed, lay down and how it started... I didn't know the Captain was such a passionate woman.

"Ha, ha, ha, Jack just lit a fire in her. — laughing good—naturedly, another man said - Have you seen the Captain today? Glow all over like a Christmas tree. It's very expensive to watch.

— Yes~ a. The mood even rises when she is in such a positive fighting spirit. She charged us with motivation today.

Revie's fists cracked with tension. On the indifferent face, the eyes shone like the fierce flames of the underworld.

She didn't care right now about the reason why these two idiots were talking in English instead of their native language.

Now she was concerned only with two questions - "How much lead can you shove into the body of a fucked-up Russian purse." and "The approximate dose of sleeping pills per man is one hundred kilograms.''

...

After getting out of the car, Jack was actively moving his legs, moving towards the Balalaika's office and greeting everyone along the way.

— "Everyone is so friendly today." - he remarked, once again responding to the good-natured greeting

When Jack got to the right floor, he saw Phil at the door of the office.

— Here you are. — the man said, smiling as soon as he saw the guy

— Hello. — Jack smiled kindly and shook the man's hand - There are tasks for me...

— You'll learn everything from the Captain. Phil said with a polite smile, interrupting and pointing over his shoulder with his thumb at the office

— good. Jack nodded, calmly opened the door and went inside

Nothing had changed in the atmosphere since last night, but the mistress of the office was clearly in a better state of mind than usual. Much better.

Balalaika was sitting at the table and with an involuntary smile looked at the papers with reports and smoked a cigar.

That smile grew even wider and brighter when she looked up and looked at him.

Jack quietly closed the door and calmly approached the table with a soft, affectionate smile — You called - I'm here.

Sophie looked thoughtfully at the chubby young guy with a tempting, truly devilish body and a genuinely gentle kind look.

The room, after their pleasures, still had the aromas of their pastime.

So when she woke up in the morning, the Balalaika mostly believed in the last evening of passion only because of this fragrance.

Looking into his bright honey eyes, she felt a pleasant exciting feeling in her stomach and if these are not the same "butterflies", then Sophie could not even imagine that then.

Even in the morning, lying with a silly happy smile, tasting his musky smell, she realized that feelings for this guy were blossoming in her.

And now Balalaika realized that her guesses were correct.

Out of the corner of her mind, she already regretted that she had offered a frivolous "free" relationship. A small possessive greedy desire appeared in her heart.

At the same time, she did not want to tie the guy to her, believing that Jack still has his whole life ahead of him and there should be no place for a thirty-year-old woman in her face.

On the other hand, selfish desires whispered to the mind, "all ages are submissive to love," "sixteen years is not so much difference," and in general, "purebred males are taken as puppies."

— Sophie?.. — Jack said softly, smiling affectionately — You have withdrawn into yourself.

Balalaika's gaze focused and after blinking a couple of times, she said — Sorry. I saw you and the memories of yesterday immediately came flooding back.

— I understand. — Jack nodded and narrowed his eyes slyly — If you want, we can refresh our memories... When the right time comes. He added quickly, smiling tightly and remembering Revie. Mentally, he gave himself a good slap.

— I like your attitude. — Balalaika showed a carnivorous grin, looking at him from head to toe

— But we have things to do. — Jack shrugged, trying to get off the topic — So why did you call me, Boss?

Raising an eyebrow, the woman grinned — How playful you are today. As for your question... I wanted to see you. And of course there is a case.

— I'm listening.

— I remembered why I decided to take you to us. — Balalaika grinned, crossing her legs — You know Chinese here, right? So I want you to play the role of my security guard at the meeting and listen to what the usk-eyed are talking about among themselves. It is very unlikely that they are stupid enough to say something worthwhile in front of us in their language, but why not?

— I see. A good idea. — he scratched his chin thoughtfully — In that case, I'll go and find more suitable clothes for such a meeting.

Jack managed to half turn his body when Sophie said with a smile — There's no need to hurry. We'll go together in ten minutes.

Frozen, he looked at the Balalaika and sighed, deciding that it was stupid to hide it — Revi was waiting for me in Ishtar, she had just come and...

— Oh, I see. — her eyes flashed — But ten minutes is not much, right? She can quite wait. She has a bar on hand, so she won't get bored. Yes, and I wanted you to massage mine a little... lower back. — she smiled slyly — It seems you beat her off to me yesterday with your strong thrusts.

After thinking for a while, Jack sighed, "Ten minutes... Okay, anyway, you have to look for a taxi by time, plus or minus, the same amount."

...

A half-empty bottle of rum. A half-empty glass. A half-empty look.

With her feet on the table, Revie stared thoughtfully at the ceiling, trying to figure out what to do.

She had suppressed her anger and rage. Usually these feelings helped her in battle, but the situation requires a clear mind if she did not want to lose Jack, which she did not want to insanely.

If she kills the Balalaika, then Jack will obviously not be happy, and they will not be given life after that.

Balalaika was the boss of one of the strongest gangs in Ruanapur, and not a whore from a brothel, who has no power even over where the client will "flog" her today - in the ass or in the pussy.

Thus, violence was not an outlet for Revi's own disbelief.

And even the scandal with Jack was not worth mentioning, because they had no relationship and no promises.

The girl understood this with her mind, but in her heart she felt resentment and anger from a broken promise, which never happened.

And it is unlikely that it would help to "beat off" a guy when there are other girls who are not averse to taking advantage of the situation.

She, then, will cause a scandal, and the other will caress and "comfort".

Everything would be fine if she didn't love him with all her being and not wanting to get him, and so from such a scandal she would only lose and help her rivals.

From such a strange and unpleasant situation, Revi wanted to kick someone with all her might, but harder.

- "Fuck, how did it all come to this, bitch..." — Revie grumbled with incomprehension, regretting those moments when she decided to wait, and not attack like a Balalaika

The front door opened and three women entered the brothel. A young white-haired and two strong tall girls with the appearance of Amazons.

— Valmet, there is no need to worry so much.

"You can't be so careless, Coco. We're in Ruanapur. Chiquita, at least tell her.

— Yes, everything is normal. The local goons almost wet their pants at the sight of us.

— And you go there too...

Revie looked down from the ceiling at the trio and clung to them with her eyes.

A picture of what was happening quickly came together in her head.

According to Jack's stories, Coco was an arms dealer, and Valmet was her guard.

The brothel is booked for a meeting and most likely the meeting was between Coco and Balalaika. Maybe they were going to negotiate about guns or equipment.

After examining them with her gaze, Revi frowned with displeasure at the realization that these alleged rivals were far from timid.

— «...why the fuck are the "big" fish pecking at you like that?.. What are you feeding me? Oh, yes, I should know what..." — clucked Revie, following the trio with her eyes

Leah came out from behind the bar, a little nervous—you must be Coco Heckmotyer? Mrs. Balalaika hasn't arrived yet, but she should be here any minute.

— Nothing, I knew what I was going for when I went out in advance.

— A room has been prepared for you...

— No need, we'll sit here. Coco nodded towards the hall

— good. — Leah answered quickly, not going to find out the reason for this decision — Do you need anything?

Coco smiled playfully — Can I serve Jack?

Valmet and Chiquita grinned, and Revi, who was sitting nearby, twitched an eyebrow.

Leah froze, and then relaxed, smiled knowingly — Unfortunately, the manager is not included in the menu, but you will be able to discuss this issue with him personally when he returns.

"He's not in Ishtar?" Coco raised her eyebrow slightly in surprise

- no. Mrs. Balalaika called him and most likely, he will arrive back with her.

— Interesting. Then give us two bottles of Cola and... is there pistachio ice cream?

— It's not on the menu, but I'll give you mine, saved up. — Leah smiled — Is there something else?

— No, that's it.

— A couple of seconds.

...

Droplets of condensation ran down two cool bottles of Cola.

A couple of minutes passed and Coco and the girls were sitting comfortably at a table in the hall.

After licking the ice cream a couple of times, Coco looked up at a dashing-looking girl with an indifferent face, burning eyes and dark hair gathered in a ponytail.

Revie met her gaze and Coco suddenly smiled with a mischievous squint. It seemed as if she recognized her.

This smile and squint threw a couple of firewood into the hearth of frustration, but not critically. Revie restrained herself and just widened her eyes, unwittingly making her look wilder.

The door to Ishtar opened again.

A dozen men in modest suits and a Balalaika with Jack calmly walked inside.

— You're already here. — Balalaika — Coco calmly shook her head, you shouldn't have come so early. — she said affably, approaching the girl

— I wanted to spend the waiting time with Jack... — the girl answered, looking at the guy who smiled crookedly — But ~ oh...

Balalaika sighed regretfully at the show, although she did not experience anything like that — Oh, unfortunately, I called him. I think you'll have more opportunities to chat later.

Meanwhile, Jack himself was very nervous, looking at the Balalaika with Coco, then at Revie.

Reasons for "nerves''there was just a pile and a small cart, but the situation has not reached its climax yet.

Under the guy's gaze, Revi resolutely got up from the table...
