Page 59 of Citiali: Teach
They’re fucking crazy. I hit Axe. “What the fuck is that?”
“Dog park. Where did Nash go?”
I point hoping to lose him so I can see just how fuckin’ crazy they are. My name has me turning. “Putam, I’m glad you’re here. Anchor, Brother, it’s good to see you again.” I hug Anchorand throw chin to the big Brother beside him. Walker stands by me but never talks.
“That’s Keylan.” Anchor has pride in his voice.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Brother.”
He nods once. “Same here. Thanks for what you did. We had a shit load of Germans with no idea what to do with them.” Fuck. I look away for a second.
“Glad it worked out.”
Anchor and Putam laugh. “I’m just glad you’re okay, Brother. Dad Jay said you’d be fine but no one knows this shit.” The Protector of the Three would know.
I nod. “Thanks for showing. Axe said that’s a dog park. Why?”
Keylan laughs and snags a Brother walking by. “Harky, what’s up with the dog park? This is all new for Citiali.”
Harky turns my way with his hand out. I take his arm. “I was looking for Loki. Let me know if you see Zeus.”
I nod not knowing Loki. I know Zeus. We follow him to the dog park that’s like an amusement park for dogs. Some Bits help us out with who built what and how they sell this shit.
“They’re crazy too.”
Harky and Keylan laugh. Harky points. “That’s Loki. This is small compared to the park they put on for dog day or whatever they called it. I need to stop him from stealing their treats.” Harky runs. “Loki, leave them alone! Bully will get you thrown out of Badass, Brother.”
We all stand here watching a big dog shoot an aqua blue light at the dog that’s now playing dead on the ground, then laugh. “Nike has his number. They have stun lasers.”
I look at Keylan and see he’s not kidding. “What’s that?” I point to shipping containers.
“Training pool for Rescue was for us. I don’t know what that has in it but the Bits liked Nemo, Alder said.” He’s walkingthat way so I follow. Sure enough, there are huge fish watching a movie on the underwater screen or more than likely, hologram boards.
I smile at the ingenuity.
“Did you have a vision park in Virginia?” Keylan asks.
Putam answers. “They were putting it north of the Club when I was there. I saw it here. My dad said Princes have them everywhere now. The kids love them.”
It’s cold up there. “I thought it was just a water park but Cai showed me drone feeds of the Bravo park.”
Keylan nods and explains about the Vision and the Alpha-Bits. I check out the water slides and fountain feeling let down that they don’t have the museums. “I want to see the real park.”
Anchor nods. “We can go with the Bits and elders. They make the trip once a month. Well, they did it twice but it’s on their calendar.”
I smile, loving the Brother. “I’m in.”
Walker hits my arm. “Cort is looking for you.” He points and I duck getting a laugh out of him.
“Being in the six-foot range is good around here. I blend in. Why is he looking for me?”
“Maybe because you saved Clubs across the country, or it could be he needs a beer and no one can find it.” Anchor’s serious face changes to a smile.
I give him a shove and walk toward Cort and a bunch of Officers. The Brothers behind me are still laughing. I smile, Anchor is a good Brother, he got me over to Cort.
“Preses, Brothers.” They’re all staring at me.
Cort waves his hand and sits in a lounge chair. Looking around, I see all the tents but this is organized. “This is your compound away from your compound?”
