The Pimp and the Pauper Ch.1

 Quick Introductions

       It's been raining for about three days now. I can't keep living in the alley like this. I often spend a lot of time wondering why I left my home, my family, but I always come back to the conclusion that it wasn't a home, they weren't my family. A home is a warm place to feel safe, a family is a group of people who love you unconditionally. There, it was none of those things. I sit under the gutters shivering slightly. I look down in a puddle and a drenched boy stares back at me with a long face. I was a mess, soaking wet hair, dirt rubbed in that my blond has faded to brown. My cloths thankfully were not at the state of deterioration. I hear growling and I punch my stomach to silence it. Today wasn't my day.

       In a car driving by casually, spots a figure sitting on a trashcan in the alley. The vehicle stops and the window rolls down, an arm creeps out, gesturing to get closer. I stare at it for a long moment before looking back down at the ground. Another looker, thinking that I'm just some whore. Being human in this furry world was already a disadvantage, but a becoming a whore? I have a shred of dignity left, I wasn't about to lose it yet. The window rolls back up and the car speeds off. Most furs who see me, either chase me off or just ignore me. I liked the ones who ignore me, makes me feel invisible, next step is not existing, then maybe I'd feel better. I grin at myself, I not going to exist long anyways if this keeps up. I wander weakly, in hopes of better shelter. With a small showing of good will, the alley exits to a strip of shops that have rain covers that keep me dry as I walk down the desolate concrete path.

       A few fur's pass me by. Two wolves stare at me like a piece of meat. I look away, and shuffle my feet faster. I heard a low growl and begin to turn my head slowly. I could see two nice sets of teeth ready to sink their way into me. I turned and raised my hands up, "Please, I don't want any trouble." The taller of the two just looked at me and licked his muzzle.

       "You may not want it, but you're gonna get it," He said before advancing quickly. I turn to run, but I feel a strong grip on my shoulder pull me back. As I spin around, I grab a trashcan lid and slam it into his face as I turn. He falls over holding his muzzle. "What are ya waiting for, get'em." he screamed as blood spewed form his maw. His partner charged, I went to hit him with the lid, but he caught it, so I let him keep it as I swiftly kicked him in the balls, and he was down.

       "I said I didn't want any fucking trouble," I said as his partner kneeled over crying over his smashed jewels. The wolf looked up and just growled at me again, I saw him reach behind him and he pulled out a gun. I ran to kick it from him, but he managed to get the first shot off. I feel my foot break his muzzle as I watch him slip out of consciousness. I kick the gun into the drain and stumble back a bit. His partner looked at me as he heard the gun shot and waved a paw.

       "Please, don't hurt me," he whimpered. I waved at him and walked away. I could feel the blood soaking into my shirt.

       "Get your buddy out of here," I said not caring to look back, if he had a gun, he would have pulled it by now. I kept walking, the rain was a mild drizzle. Things got a bit hazy as I hugged my shoulder, trying to keep it from letting out more blood. I laid against a brick wall somewhere as it became too hard to walk. It was nice, I feel relaxed, maybe a nap was in order. My eyes lost focus and everything faded to a soft black, I could swear the last thing I remembered was grinning.

       "Hey, get him in the car, if we don't stop the bleeding, he's gonna die, hurry please," came a gentle voice. Soon a fox came and picked up the human, and moved him to the back of the car. As they drove off, the bullet was removed, wound cleaned, and stitches applied. The boy's breathing was shallow, and was deathly pale, but his heart continued to beat, and live. The anonymous black car drove off into the night, leaving a streak of red neon light trailing behind in the mist of the ending rain.

       A loud thump of something resembling a bass drum being wrecked by a small green man inside my ear woke me up from what I would have figured was the last sleep of my life. Standing up, I winced as I looked down and saw why I was still alive. Someone had bothered to stitch me up, and from the looks of the place around me, it wasn't a hospital. Unless they decided to restyle hospitals with red leather couches, black lights, and fine glass tables with what I can only assume was cocaine piled up on it, I doubt they would ask for insurance. As I picked myself up from the couch, I heard the leather creek as I removed myself from the couch. The dark glow of everything in the room was eerie as my vision slowly returned back to its normal focus. The pounding noise became louder as I looked to see a flash of prismatic light peak through a door as someone entered the room.

        By now I've deduced that I'm in the back of some night club, saved from the common fate of bleeding out to death in some back alley, and I was naked. On habit, I reached for something to cover me. As the thin sheet brushed across my skin, I could feel the fine hairs stand up as the figure approached me. As it passed by a wall, normal fluorescent lights replaced the black ones, and the room let up. I shut my eyes from the sudden flicker of brightness. When I opened them, I saw a blurry figure, that cleared up to be a large, stout tiger in a fine cut suit. A fine scent of some probably expensive cologne with the subtle hint of natural musk came from him. It wasn't overbearing, but pleasant. As he looked at me, I could hear a faint purr before he spoke. "Hey, I'm Siris." he said as he offered me his paw. I shook it with a firm grip as his hand easily could fit two of mine.

       "Hi, err....I'm Tyler," I said reluctant meeting a stranger. My survival sense told me to look at the door, but the massive frame of the tiger blocked its view. His grip was gentle with me, and I could only assume that I would be alright for now. "Umm, you wouldn't happen to know, hmm, what happened?" I ask not really able to think about the my current situation and what led up to it.

       "Well Tyler, plain and simple, I like you," said the tiger as he sat down on the couch. At that moment, I was very, very confused.

       "Wha?" I began before he pulled me down by my hand to the space next to him.

       "Back on the streets. I saw you take care of those two wolves, and shortly after you collapsed, I picked you up, and fixed the wound.."

       "But, why did you save me?"

       "I told ya, because I like you, you got spunk kid. Your talent is wasted in the alleys, I took ya here, this is Club Red, a popular nightclub on the north side of town, my buddy owns it, and I come here often after work." he goes on as he loosens his tie.

       "Well, thanks and all, but I really gotta go," I said feeling awkward. The second I stood up, so did Siris.

 Â

      "Go where? Back to the streets, so that next time you take a bullet, you can bleed out like you were suppose to?!" he said a bit irritated.

       "Dude, I didn't asked you to save my life, I don't wanna owe anyone anything, ya know?" I said as I took a step back.

       "Listen kid, I'm offering you something not many people in your position get, work that covers everything, please, just listen to my offer before you leave," I already know where this was going, the only work for someone like me was to be a common whore. Its only logical, what do I have to offer other than my body? Still, something tugged at my mind, maybe it was different.

       "Fine, what do you got to say, oh and if its about fucking selling my ass on the street, then you can go fuck yourself," Siris only grinned at my comment.

       "I do so love that spirit, anyways I sure you know, that in this city, money talks, but so do other things, like secrets. What I purpose is that you help me find those secrets."

       "Okay, secrets...ya, how do you suppose I help you blackmail people? Sleep with them and take pictures?" I said getting defensive for no reason.

       "Well, you're half right, but it's not blackmail," he said.

       "Oh, so this plan of yours does involve me sleeping with other people, like I said, I'm not a whore,"

       "Tyler, please, what you can do, you can help save this city," he said in a plain tone.

       "I'm sorry, I don't see how having sex can save a city,"

       "I know this is probably a long shot, but do you think you can trust me?" I was at first repulsed by the notion, but then I began to think, maybe it was time to get off the street, still, I don't want this kind of life, it only leads to depression. Still, the look in the tiger's eyes as they focused on me. It was strange, what he believes in is true, I don't sense any deceit inside him, still too many things didn't make any sense.

       "This is happening really fast, you pick me off the street, tell me to save the city by turning into a whore, and you really don't give me any insight on anything else, hell, don't you think you should buy me a drink first before you talk to someone like that?" The room seemed to light up a bit as he chuckled.

       "Of course, of course, where are my manners?" he snapped his fingers, and a very fem looking fox came into the room with nothing but a two piece bikini hopped next to him and blushed. I thought my eyes were burning at the cuteness. He could have almost passed for a female, if his sack wasn't about to burst through the fabric. "Hey sweetheart, gimme a glass of Jacks, and uh, what can I get for ya?" he said as he poked a finger in my direction.

       "Can I sprite please?" I said as I took a seat once more. The fem fox smiled and nodded as he cheerfully bounced out of the room with a slight skip. "You know, drugs, sex, and alcohol doesn't really scream trust, but some reason, for the first time in my life, I think I can go out on a limb and say ya, I'll think about helping you, but you have to tell me what's goin on,"

       He smiled as he leaned over and gave me a big hug. "Don't worry, I'll explain everything, I just needed to know that you'll agree to this. I know its strange that I virtually kidnapped you, left you in the back of a night club and told you that you would be working as a whore, but for all this, you're taking it pretty well."

       I shrug "Siris, I've been living on the streets for a while, this is a really good change of pace compared to sitting around bored shitless, looking for food and shelter,"

       "Well, that sure makes a hell of a lot of sense," soon the fem fox came back in, someone had removed his bra as he came back in with a tray of drinks for us. I picked up my glass, and before it could meet my lips, Siris raised his, "Cheers, to a new friendship" I only nod and tap my glass against his as he sips. What the hell did I get into this time?

Well that's the end of chapter one, tell me what you think.
