Rise of the Night/Run of Night

Shadowstep thought at the words Lyla said. Why was he fighting Congo? Was it because Vellix was still alive? Was it because Vellix attacked Lyla even thought he was supposed to be banished from the city? He relaxed his body and went over to fetch Lyla's knife. Congo still watched him, making sure he didn't decided to attack again. He simply snatched up the knife and handed it back to Lyla.

“Congo I'm not pissed anymore but I do want to find out why he was still breathing and managed to attack Lyla again.” Shadow said pointed to Vellix.

Congo relaxed and said “He went missing. We didn't even knew he was a part of the Dark Brotherhood till he attacked Lyla and left his mark. Hell we didn't even find him till two weeks ago and he hasn't left this spot since. We been trying to figure what to do but well I see you have your own idea's about what to do.”

“So is my spot still open?” Shadow asked.

“Can't find a single person to hold a candle to how you ran the military fraction.” Congo said reaching into his pocket pulling out a cigarette.

“So I take that as a yes?” Shadow asked. Congo nodded after puffing out a small cloud of smoke.

“Now come on you two we got some business to take care of.” Congo said walking out of the brothel. Shadow, Lyla, Shiva followed Congo back into the catacombs.

The main base for the Diamond dongs has changed a lot since Shadow was here. Last time he lived here they all lived in shacks and barely had enough clothes. Now it's like most of the shacks have been replaced with one story houses. Hell they even had a tailor shop and blacksmith now.

“Congo what the hell happened? Since when did the Diamond Dongs get so much money?” Shadow asked with his jaw open.

“Well after you left we started a um recruitment of sorts.” Congo said.

“You started the kidnappings and the mind altering drugs didn't you?” Shadow asked with a blank emotionless face.

“Um maybe. So here's where you will be staying for right now. Lyla will be back to drop off your clothes after the tailor gets done with them. Shiva make sure he gets packed in and try to keep him out of trouble. Now you on the other hand Lyla still need you punishment pup.” Congo said dragging Lyla by her collar.

“So I'm gonna guess you two finally popped the cherry?” Shiva asked blatantly. Shadow's face turned bright red as she asked the question.

“How the fuck do you find these things out? Is there like some mental magical connection between you and Lyla?” Shadow asked as Shiva leaded him inside the house. Shiva giggled at the thought.

“No but I could tell from your posture and hers that you two were um comfortable with each other. Besides she's my room mate sooner or later she would have told me or I would have figured it out.” She said inspecting the place.

“Congo's not going to hurt her is his?” Shadow asked with a caring in his voice and face Shiva never saw before. She didn't know how to react. She always teased him about this sort of thing but this time she didn't want to.

“I honestly don't know. So much shit has happened I can't even tell what he might do. But I don't think he will hurt her.” Shiva said. His face relaxed and be sat down a nearby by chair.

“Hey Shiva. Next time you see him tell Congo we might need to think of a new plan about how we're gonna warn the princess since I'm now supposed to be dead.” Shadow said chuckling to himself. Shiva grinned a little, leaving him sitting in the chair.
