《For The Right Price》Chapter 5.

“Hey, wake up. Our birds given us a chirp.”
I jump up from bed, ripping the sheets off and grabbing my pants from the chair next to it. “How long ago?”
“Seems she tried to use the card at one of the clubs nearby. Several times. Our client cancelled the card two hours ago, so we don't have long before she realizes something's up. Get your stuff, let's go.”
I slap on my red tropical shirt, provided by the hotels gift store. I put on the straw hat that came with it, pulling it low. “How’d I look?”
“Like a fucking idiot.”
“So, perfect.” I say, letting out a grin.
He lets out a chuckle and turns to leave. He's wearing a matching yellow shirt, the seams already ripping as he's almost forced into a half Nelson by its tight design. His bald head smothered in sunscreen, glinting slightly in the mid morning sun. I adjust my gun, a sleek M14 tucked nicely into the waistband of my pants, for when things inevitably go south. Spike's packing a matching set, nestled nicely in his pants, pressed low against his leg right by the crotch area. Completely fucking useless, since he has to practically pull his pants down to get at it, but it does draw stares from the ladies. Not to mention, adds a level of intimidation to him.
Not like he needs it.
We come up to the club, a shady little building with a bouncer outside the door. Peering in, we can see a staircase leading down to the club floor. Spike pushes the bouncer to the side as we walk down, me following close behind. The natural light from the door is quickly extinguished, replaced by black neon lights hanging at regular intervals on the ceiling. The UV properties of the lights paint a mosaic of bodily juices on the walls and floor.

And ceiling.
Spike turns back to look at me, pointing to a particularly impressive stain. I nod my head, pulling out my standard-issue black rubber gloves from my back pocket and quickly pulling it on, before I catch something. Spike follows suit, pulling on his own gloves.
“Can it ever be easy?” I ask.
“If it was, we'd be out of a job.”
We make our way down the rest of the stairs, the lit-up stains providing most of our light. Spike gets to the bottom, and let's out a groan. His shoulders sagging.
I push past him, and let out my own groan.
It's a fucking orgy.
And it's not one of those fun ones.

The Swarm
Anthony had been looking forward to playing the hottest new virtual reality game. When he put the VR helmet on he was met with a prompt asking him if he wanted to take a test to become a swarm knight. Thinking that this was one of the classes in the game he accepted. Instead of finding himself in the game, Anthony found that he was transported to a different planet. A planet where he would learn the greater truth of the universe. Everything was based on magic in the universe. Except that magic was based on nanorobots, called the swarm, that had been created through highly advanced technology. Genetics determined the access level and the amount of control that someone could wield over the swarm, and therefore their status in this society. Long ago Earth had been cutoff from the swarm. Now that it had been rediscovered, Earth would be reintegrated into the swarm. Unfortunately when that happened all the current technology on Earth would fail and be replaced with the ability to use magic. In effect, it would be the system apocalypse. As someone able to control the swarm, Anthony found himself in the unique position to influence how Earth was reintegrated into the swarm. Perhaps he could change things enough to save most of the people on Earth. But first he would have to learn how to control the swarm and become one of the leaders in the society he found himself in. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it somewhere between PG-13 and R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, and nudity.
