It has been an interesting week. I am really quite surprised by how much has happened and by how well things are going. This story starts the morning after the last ended. Candy and I slept in Max’s special room, both of us very happy to be sleeping together after a week of sleeping alone. Of course we slept in till about noon. We made love shortly after waking, and again as we showered together. It was one in the afternoon by the time we finally got dressed. I made certain that Candy dressed in something low key yet casual. I myself dressed in a casual but clean suit. Candy was of course curious why.
I said casually: “We are going to meet with Maya and her father today.”
Candy looked at me puzzled and said: “What are you talking about?”
I smiled and replied: “Well, I called my teacher and she has arranged for me to meet with the mayor and his daughter. And the police chief will also meet with me quickly to extend his apology for my wrongful incarceration.”
She hugged me close and said: “I wonder how Maya will react when she sees us together.”
I held her close and said: “I will arrange it so you and Maya can talk together while I have a heart to heart with the mayor.” Her eyes lit up, I continued: “You can tell me about it after.”
After we shared a passionate kiss she whispered into my ear: “Thank you Vinny. I am so happy that I will get to see Maya again, and tell her about us.”
I softly stroked her face as I said: “If I get my way, you two will be together much more frequently, and the mayor will actually not only approve, but demand it.”
Candy looked at me incredulously and said: “How are you going to pull that one off?”
I smiled and said: “That’s a surprise you will just have to wait for.” She pleaded with me all the way to the van, and during the trip to City Hall, but I never wavered. We were greeted at the front of City Hall by the mayor’s aide; he was a skinny, weak looking guy.
He said: “Hi my name is Ronal and I am the mayor’s aide; he has sent me to escort you to his office where he awaits with his daughter Maya.” We followed Ronal to the mayor’s office. The door was adorned with a metal plaque with the words ‘Mayor Daniel Kilborn’ engraved into it. A piece of paper was stuck below it, hanging at a slight tilt from a piece of clear tape ‘Wonder how long this one will last?’ was scrawled on it. When Ronal saw the note, he was horrified. He quickly tore it down and put it in his pocket.
I said casually as he was about to knock on the door: “Why was that there Ronal?”
Ronal was nervous and said: “It’s nothing, just forget about it.” He knocked on the door and then opened it. Maya and the mayor were sitting talking together.
Upon seeing Candy and I, Maya froze in surprise, while the mayor started to rise and smiled as he said: “Nice to see you Vincent, may I call you that?”
I replied: “That sounds good to me Daniel; I can call you Daniel, right?”
The mayor was a little surprised, but Ronal was horrified. He was about to speak when Daniel said: “Well that’s a little personal, but I suppose you can, as long as we are not in public. Does that sound good to you Vincent?”
I replied nonchalantly: “That sounds alright for now.” The mayor was quite surprised at how forward I was, and even more so when I added, “But we will have to see what you say after we are done our meeting.” I nodded towards Ronal and said: “Can he be trusted?”
Ronal was aghast, but Daniel replied frankly: “Yes, he can be trusted. He is a little bit weak, but he is trustworthy; that’s why I hired him.”
Ronal smiled until I looked him over and said bluntly: “You can stay, but do yourself a favour and don’t interrupt me while I talk to Daniel, and we’ll get along fine.”
Ronal was miffed, but just as he was about to speak Maya said in a stern voice: “You’re a cheeky bastard aren’t you?”
The mayor glared at his daughter and was about to yell when I said: “Maya, I am to the point, suspicious and most definitely blunt, but I am not cheeky. I am confident, most say over confident, until they get to know me. If you have any doubts ask Candy, she will vouch for me.”
Maya was a little too upset to rationalize her actions and looked at Candy and said: “I trust your judgement, so what of him?” Her face filled with fear as she realized what she had just said.
Candy replied: “He is good Maya, and I love him deeply also.”
Maya was filled with fear as her dad turned to her and was about to speak when I interrupted: “Daniel, we must talk. I will explain everything about Maya and Candy, that is, if Maya will consent.” I looked at Maya; she looked to Candy, who nodded. Maya was still fearful, but nodded. “Ok then. You two should leave, talk and get caught up. We will get you when we are ready for you, it may be awhile.”
Maya was white as a sheet as Candy walked up to her, grabbed her arm and led her out of the room. Ronal closed the door behind them as they left, then walked to stand beside the mayor. I casually said: “Daniel, we have a few things in common and we also have needs that the other can help fill.”
The two men sat down as Ronal said in a suspicious tone: “What’s your angle?”
Daniel sat back waiting for my response. I answered softly: “You’re coming up for re-election in a few months,” he nodded, while I continued “and from what I’ve heard you will probably not be re-elected.”
He sighed as Ronal said: “Don’t say that! I am certain he will be re-elected, he is a great…”
Daniel cut him off and said: “Shut up Ronal! You know he’s fucking right. They want me out and that won’t change anytime soon either.”
Ronal was quiet as I said: “From what I hear the main issue you face is that you promised to get rid of the huge drug problem in this town, and even though the Outlaws are dead, you still have not even put a dent in the trade.”
Daniel frowned and sighed deeply as he said: “I can’t fucking find who’s bringing it in, I was told the Outlaws were doing it, but now they are gone and things are just worse.”
I smiled and said: “The Outlaws were doing it, but they lost control and had stopped completely even before I disbanded them a few weeks ago.”
Ronal and Daniel both looked at me incredulously. Ronal spoke first: “You could not have; only their boss can disband a gang and Snake is their boss.”
Daniel looked at me as he said: “Snake was in the hospital for a week, and is in no condition to lead anything. I heard some unknown huge biker put him there.” He looked at me, and said: “I suppose you can fill in the details.”
I smiled and said: “Well, actually the biker’s name was Vinny, and only one person there knew his name, Snake’s former sex toy. Snake lost a fight for her honour, for you see, the biker in question gave her a smile, and she hit on him. Well Snake was stupid enough to attack Vinny, me actually.” Their eyes went wide, “I crushed his hand, breaking all his knuckles. As he was laying on the floor in pain, his champions challenged me. They are still in the hospital with either cracked ribs, or other broken bones.”
The two men looked at me questioningly as Ronal said weakly: “You mean you’re the new leader of the Outlaws?”
I replied: “I already said I disbanded them. But back to the story, the day after the fight Snake’s former girl, Candy, you’ve met her.” Daniel was frozen with shock. I continued: “Like I was saying, Candy and I went back to the bar, where I told them that she was off limits. They did not agree and a little brawl broke out. The cops arrested Candy and I while the ambulances dragged the rest of the participants to the hospital. You may have seen that most of the former Outlaws were there for a few days. I got out quite quickly, as did Candy.”
