Chapter 91: Hades and his frenemies.
Hades was a little nervous when the vehicles drove out, but the confidence of the soldiers made him feel at ease. The sound of their laughter and singing during the short trip made him fell some camaraderie with them.
When they entered Jon’s base, he hopped out of the car and stretched, looking at Jon smugly.
In turn, Jon looked back at him with a glare. "Where is my cat, Quinn?"
"What cat Kingsley?" Hades asked.
Jon hissed and moved closer to Hades. "Don’t play with me Quinn. You know damn well what cat I am talking about. I need Bob returned because my wife is unhappy. An unhappy Tracy is not someone you want to be around. She is snappy Quinn, snappy."
Hades laughed slowly and deliberately, "Oh Jon, you named your cat Bob! How original."
"And you married your babysitter. I would say that you are more original than I am." Jon retorted. "Oh wait, I think its cliche."
Hades rolled his eyes. "Old news Jon, find something else if you want to taunt me. Also, I think I will give Bob a new name. What do you think of John--with an h because that is how the name is actually supposed to be spelled."
The soldiers looked on, glancing between the two men.
"Is this how rich people talk to each other?" Commander Grayson whispered.
O’Toole shrugged. He was still wondering why someone would name their cat Bob.
Hades meanwhile ignored John’s glaring and held out his hand. "Be a good boy and bring the payment for the gel and the ash. My wife wanted to charge wanted to charge around sixty thousand dollars, but I talked her into doubling it. So, one hundred twenty thousand dollars for five people that is six hundred thousand dollars. Will it be cash, gold or food?"
