《Lethal Virtue》Chapter 14: Fellas of law and cuisine
Advertisement
Jovi and Piers went in their sweet rides home, but it was not exactly the idea Piers had in mind, Jovi's phone ringed, he pick it up.
"Hey Jovi why don't I just give a call to the crew and we all go to the best restaurant of the whole city, I invite, how about it eh?" He said while giving it a huge chuckle, Jovi smiled "Sure thing, What's the place called?" He asked, "Oh sure sure, It's called Olivia's Serenity, fancy name huh?" He said, "Indeed it is quiet fancy, do they serves Lobster there? I will love to eat some" Jovi said with quiet a munch on his face, "They most likely will have it there, and it probably the best lobster you will ever taste, Jovi, that place is amazing" Piers said with security, "Ha then let us see then" Jovi smiled.
Piers called and the crew reached, the whole group was in the parking lot welcoming each other in a calm night, "The night is young" Archie reassured, They got to the front of the Glamurous and shiny Olivia's Serenity.
Balmy outdoors, obviously classy and with that sweet fancy open-air flowing flawlessly through the surface of each eight corners in which there it was, they entered through the main door and Chalotte's and Melody's eyes grew in wonder; It was magnificent, like in movies, they most likely have never been in a place such as warm festive as this one, Grammy shiny everywhere.
"How can it be a place like this one be in a city like this?" Michael asked greedy, "Oh do not be like that, we are not savages, we also have places like this golden shine, now come on guys, let's sit down" Piers said in a good mood.
They all sat down in fancy scarlet swivel chairs, and music so soft classical you could hear the heaven's Above. But not many people were in surprisingly for Jovi, He looked around and just saw Two fancy looking serious guys, a most likely married couple, a family of two kids and parents, and those were all, oh and the servants of course, which one was arriving right on time to where they were sitting, this servant thought looked quite peculiar.
Like a classic servant the man wore white clothing and mantel, had a pen and a notebook to check on their food, long haired and to the back, the undercut to be exact, Jovi was fast enough with his eyes to recognize that the man had purple dark exes on both upper palms of his hand, quiet rare tattoos.
He walks there to the table and he bows then with an infant smile proceeds to ask the main question; "Welcome to the Olivia's Serenity, seems like our main chef was waiting for all of you, he will come out in any second, you guys may be seated and enjoy the fresh wound less air of our resort" He smiles again "Now if you all excuse me I am going to take an order on another table" He says then walks away.
"What a quiet interesting fella" Michael said staring at the back of the servant, "Well you can't complain who people serves in a city like this" sighed the strong Victor that was sitting right besides Michael.
Jovi was feeling unruffled, with no pressure around, his eyes staring around and as he caught by the corner of his eye, those two fancy guys he was staring earling now they were staring at them back.

Tock... Tock... Tock… it was the sound both men were making with both using one finger on the table, the sound… had rhythm, almost as clear, powerful sound, a code talker could watch it by an ear away, then he thought to himself "They are not saying nothing… no… but they are communicating, I just have to catch on what they are talking, this is morse", He knew something was wrong, so he got closed up on Piers and whispered very briefly on what he witnessed, "It is fine they we have been clean and out of no suspicions for the year, they have no clues, just your face but Apollo would not talk, he is on a deadline, a tomb he made to himself" Piers said as he roosted off.
Then, as the night was dark, the two mysterious quiet men stood up, left the cash and walked out of the door, Piers was relieved, Jovi was feeling the opposite, he was more worried now of what could happen, then as a rooster makes it's morning sound a man comes out of the kitchen and says breathing song of joy.
"Where is that old pal, the golden retriever, the one who eats the can itself, Piers!" The mysterious tall big man express, then walks toward Jovi and the crew, Piers stands up and as an open bear hug he let's it out and hugs the big fella, in that hug felt a big friendship of old fellas that met yet again in the breathing world; "Imes!, how you doing my friend?" Piers said, "Holy cows, pretty good good indeed" Imes smiles and looks at the table with the crew "So it seems you got new people for you won family, I knew you were of the ones that attract people thanks to charm" He said.
"Well now, welcome! All of you, now now, I like to always do something called, "predicting the food they will order", now I know, original name, but it is something I love to do, now" Imes stares at Jovi "You young fella… What's your name?" He asked, this man was sure as joyful as Piers was, "Jovi, Jovi Stags" Jovi said, "Oh oh, Jovi Stags eh?, quiet an interesting name for sure, now now, Let me if you do not mind predict what your order would be" He says then proceeds to close his eyes, then the man raises his hand way up high, and slams it on his won chest, he gives a huge breath-in breath-out, then, he opens his eyes and gives a big teeths-off showing big smile, "I know now" He says.
He calms himself, making a ladder up the sensation of unknown knowledge, not of his own, "You want lobster don't ya'?, with some succulent rise and mundane flavor" then he higher his voice "Am I right!... or am I wrong?".
Jovi surprised, then he smiled to anyone around as if a mage just made a bird disappear in front of his eyes, then he stares back at the wizard man "Wow, surprisingly you are right, yeah that is exactly what I had in my mind… how did you even….?" He stared confused, "No no no, a mage never reveals his secrets" Imes said, "I can see without feeling, smelling, touching, that tick, of what the people want came from long long years of cooking expertise, as my father ones said, "The true taste of feeling, is the one you find in each fruit of characteristics the other soul reveals" He smiles "Anyways besides this, what should I get you all to eat, eh?".

Everyone got their food served, each plate well placed with shiny plates, "This is one hell of a restaurant" in a lower voice Jovi said, "Indeed" Piers said then he laughed.
After all the dishes were place Imes walked where they all were and gave a proud smile for how well done it was everything, then Archie stared at his food very perplexed, then stared at Imes, the stared back at the food, then at Imes, "How did you guys… where did you could possibly found this food?" He questioned what he had on the second plate, the reason was that when they ordered Imes asked an extra question of the most rarest food they could ever though of in their lives, and that they might be able to make it, "Where did you guys got Babka?", that was the dish he chose, he had seen on the TV sometimes and always wondered how exactly it was the taste, and to top it all off, it was chocolate babka, a taste of his dreams.
"Well that is what you chose for rarest food, now sadly we do not have the materials for the other wishes, but anyways, enjoy!" Imes said as he stepped on the entrance door to the kitchen and disappear through the amount of servants coming and going.
Then, after a while of crunching and munching, the plan started with the roots of what they have found out, "Well well well, let's start, Parry and Charlie did you guys sended the message to the email I gave you two?" Piers asked with a more more serious tone, "Yes we did sir, but while we were at it a questioning came up inside our minds, why send it to them and not just the regular police or just an exterior center of command?" Parry said, "Because they are all sellouts darling, the police, the DEA, CIA, FBI, they are all sell for one, the riches, if we give it to them then the rich will get an idea of what is going on in here, now darling, who do you think make all this place chaos in the first place?".
"Now I will not get all of you confused with all this talking, that direction is a chance, maybe a really, tiny bitsy chance of this place making a humongous change, that email is the one that will save us… in the future" Piers said, "In the future?" Michael said " What do you mean in the future Piers?, we need it now, ww are in danger, the people in here are in danger, this two girls right here, are the clear example of how rotten is this city" Michael said, then Victor spoke up to try to calm Michael a little "Future as in later as in that email must be incripted in the highest security for it to be able to get through the web and get to it's destination, that is how the internet work, dumbmaster" well that was not quiet helping for Victor to calm Michael, but at least it got to the point of explanation.
Jovi clearly by his face did not knew where was that send to, "So who is the destinator?" He asked, "Well… it's the biggest self fucking aware organization in the whole planet right now, basically the secret FBI that hides in the lowest of the earth, they are the only reliable source we got right now, and they are our only hope, they are the BOP, Bureau of Peace, self proclaimed eh?" Piers said to clear in the mood around them.
"But for now let's clear things up around us, first things first, some of them saw our faces, who" Piers said to find out and make awareness of future actions in which involve them getting exposed through walking around the city, "Me, by that man besides John, John Himself and Apollo" Jovi said, "Archie and I were seen by that damn guy that scaped with a bullet on his chest, the weird pale guy that entered Melody's home" Victor said.
"Eleanor and I were seen to by Apollo and what seemed as his girlfriend, her name was… uhhh…" Michael forgot of course, he tended to forget things sometimes, he always needed Eleanor to remind him of things sometimes, they were a great duo for plans, "Acantha, that was her name, and that big security guy, his card said the name Atlas" Eleanor answered then stared at Michael, he stared back and looked embarrassed.
"I see, then this means each one of you will swap between who you guys chase, but do never risk on getting seen by none of them, Apollo can not say nothing, Cytro is an organization with 0 drugs tolerance, he is doomed if his great lord Stravas finds out, and him telling about you will just put him in a way deeper hole he already is on, he will keep his mouth shut" Piers said.
"Now for that pale guy, John and that other guy, yeah Jovi, Archie and Victor are the most exposed right now, you guys better to never be in the same room as them, you guys got it" He said, Everyone agreed on this terms, it was their best options.
"Now, patterns patterns patterns…" Piers started to think, "Found one… their names, all of you, remember this, each one of them have names related to a mythology, now if you guys meet a person with such peculiar names like them, be extremely cautious" He said "For now, let's keep all of us like if we were a family trying to survive through tough times in this Godforsaken city, and let's clear one rock at a time" He tickles the cup of salt on the table as if it was a chess piece, "And this rock is named John Cabaliure, one step at a time, he will be our objective for now, we will do ours bests, as detectives and current best form of law to find, and took down danger by danger, shall we!!" Piers said as he stood up in a extremely motivated form, the he sit embarrassed "Oh sorry sorry my bad, it is just the joys of life, now let's us continue in our meals and forget about the troubles".
