Chapter 10: The Envelope

Omniscient Narrative

It was late at night, around 11pm when Aries got a call asking him to meet at a location.

"Hello" the tall man answered the minute he heard his phone go off, he had been expecting a call from the person.

"I have it all here with me, meet me at...." Was the last thing he heard before he immediately jumped to his feet and headed out the door.

He didn't care if he woke Joey and Austin up with how he hurriedly ran out of the small apartment, he had that reaction for a reason of course.

He got into his car and drove to the location he was given, chills formed in his body as he thought about the information he was on his way to receive.

Anything that now involved the older short man made him feel giddy and his heart melt at the thought of him being his.

....

Aries stood in the dark alley, his eyes scanning the dimly lit space for any sign of his mysterious contact. He had arrived a few minutes early, as instructed, and was starting to get inpatient at the other person being late.

"That nigga gotta be joking" the light skin man groaned as he checked the time and saw he had been waiting for 15 minutes.

The night air was thick with the smell of garbage and decay, and Aries could feel the weight of the city's secrets pressing down on him, he didn't know why he agreed to meet in this disgusting place, but then again, he thought it would have been a very short meeting and won't involve him waiting there for more than a minute.

As he waited, a figure emerged from the shadows. He was tall and imposing, with piercing green eyes that seemed to bore into Aries' soul. His face was chiseled and angular, with sharp cheekbones and a pointed jawline. He wore a black suit that seemed to absorb the faint light of the alley, making him almost invisible.

"Ah, Ace," the man said, his voice low and gravelly. "Sorry I took too long"

"I don't care Nigga, just give me what i came here for" the irritated man said as he eyed the other tall man from head to toe. But all that he got in return was a small laugh and shake of the head

"So rude" the man spoke before handing the envelope to the light skin man.

"So, you're for real this is all gathered information on Kai," Aries asked as he eyes the envelope in his hand.

The Investigator nodded, his eyes glinting in the dim light. "That's correct. Why did you want to know about him? You could have used your no questions asked for a more serious person, but you wasted it on this man?" The investigator questions with genuinely confusion.

"Man" Aries kissed his teeth in annoyance. "Mind your fucking business"

When he got the call from Aries with the 'no question asked' he knew he had to do the job well enough for the young light skin man, it was a favor he owed the man for something he had helped him with in the past. But he was just shocked it was all for some instagram model who was married and had a kid and was 20 years older than him.

"My bad" the man said as he held his hands up in a surrender way. "You have all the information you need about him, my job here is done" he shrugged

"Thanks" Aries said extending his hand for a bro shake. The two dabbed each other in a bro manner.

"Catch you later" he said as he watched the man walk away.

Aries then got into his car and opened the folder.

In it has everything about Kai, from the hospital he was born to the hospital he gave birth to Austin.

Aries scanned through the papers and smiled a satisfied smile.

"He doesn't have the body of a 40 year old" the 21 year old said as he kept scanning through the documents he had just been given. It really contained everything about the older man.

Aries was too busy that he didn't hear his phone ring the first time but he heard it when it ring again.

With a frustrated groan Aries took his phone in his hand and picked the call

"What?" He asked not caring about who was on the other line.

"What got your panties in a twist nigga" Joey asked not liking the tone of the light skin man. He gets enough attitude from Austin and he was not about to deal with more with Aries.

"I'm sorry jojo, I'm just not in the mood to talk to anyone" Aries apologized to his cousin, genuinely feeling bad about the way answered the call.

"Whatever idiot, I was just calling to inform you that we need to go over to sign the papers for the apartment tomorrow, I went to your room to tell you, but you weren't there so I figured I'll call" Joey said making Aries sit up right, his eyes going slightly wide, he checked the time and saw that he had been gone for an hour. "Where are you, it's 12am gang and when did you leave the house"

"Oh shit I guess I got carried away, I'm on my way though " Aries said as he kept the folder on the passenger seat and turned the car on.

He cut the call and started driving.
