PERFUME | TORY NICHOLS ✔️

XXXI. We're smarter then that

"yeah i agree with sam" selene spoke up

" If this ref and stingray are on Silver's payroll, they'll never admit to anything." Demetri said

" I'm not so sure about that, I know he's in cobra Kai and I'm an eagle fang but stingray is still my friend. He wouldn't lie to me. At least I hope he wouldn't" Bert said

" Do you think you can get him to talk?" hawk asked

"find out where he lives" sam said and hawk walked off with bert as selene walked away alone. they went to the deck and they sat down next to beetle

"it's all a bit huge fucked up mess isn't it?" selene said

"hey we found out where stingray lives, let's go" hawk spoke and selene got in their car with demetri, hawk , bert and beetle. sam and miguel went together . they drove to stingrays and showed up at the door

"miyagi-fangs? oh this is a trap. oh, you admiral-ackbar-ed me. et tu, ber-tay?" he said and selene scoffed

" OK knock it off. We know Kreese never hurt you." hawk stated

" According to my testimony in a court of law, he did. So... Read the transcript" he said and he went to close the door but selene stopped him

" You lied to the court, and you lied to miss LaRusso. You put him in pain. OK and you're not gonna let us were smarter than that" selene said and they all followed after selene as they walked in and walked to the living room

"let's try this one more time, okay. what happened that night? who hurt you?" demetri said and selene sighed as they closed their eyes and leaned against the wall

" Hey Bert how does it feel? To stab a grown man in the back between the shoulder blades and stare at the blood is it trickles down his back?" stingray said and selene snapped

" Oh my God shut the fuck up stingray. No more games you and I both know that kreese wasn't the one who did that to you tell us what happened now" selene stated and sam spoke up

" My dad went through a lot of pain because of you and silver. No a lot of other people will too if you just sit back and do nothing." sam stated

" What if I tell you what really happened, you know, he'll find out. I can't. It's not that easy, you guys. Actually there, wait. OK so I've been working on this new D&D campaign" Stingray began

"i don't think we have time for this" miguel said

"wait a minute" selena and hawk said together

"what happens in the campaign, stingray?" hawk asked and stingray started to explain to them

" So the dwarven Monk Muslim back into the guild?" Demetri asked

" So why can't he just tell everyone what really happened?" miguel asked

" Because he doesn't wanna lose his benefits" sam said

"no! no. the Monk will give it all back if you could but the silver haired king, you know, he almost killed a monk. He could've killed him. And why? To get power. So, yeah, the monk fears what that king would do to keep the power. I think the monk just... The monk just wanted reentry into the guild because he thought that he could be like a... Like a proud and noble warrior. just like you, hawk, selene, all you guys. But he's another proud nor noble. Definitely not a warrior. He just sits around playing with them all day. The monks just scared" he said and selene sighed as they nodded and listened

"that's great, thanks for nothing" sam said and they sighed as they got up and selene looked at stingray

"i get it being scared but we need help stingray. silver is an insane psychopath who will stop at nothing, you know what to do. you know how to help, so please just think about it" selene sighed and they got up and left

selene drove bert, hawk and demetri home before selene drove home with beetle. they walked in to see tory sitting on the couch icing her fist and she looked up at selene

"jesus tory what the hell happened?" selene asked and they sat down next to tory as they removed the ice pack and looked at the bruising

"sensei had me punch a goddamn block of stone" tory said and selene got up as they looked around

"i'll be back" they stated and they walked to the bathroom as they grabbed the wrap and the ointment. they grabbed it and walked in with it

"thanks" tory said and selene sighed

"don't thank me for caring about you tory, you're my girlfriend. it's what i do" selene sighed and tory smiled as she leaned her head on selene and smiled softly

it wasn't okay, nothing was but they had each other and in that moment, it was enough
