Prank war. (Dom)

It had been about a week since the silent throw down issued by his bodyguard Dominic. See who could prank a pard member and pull it off the best. While his time was split between work and home he had still manged to get his other body guard good. Poor Adam didn't even know what hit him till it was too late.And only his spot as Raj kept him from getting his ass handed back to him.


He was smirking as he headed into the house his keys tucked into his pocket as he wandered though the living room into the kitchen. He should have learned years ago that Dom liked "borrowing" his car but he only recently took to keeping his keys on his person.He made his way to the kitchen taking a moment to snag a beer out of the fridge before glancing around the room. He was half expecting Dom to be hovering around for some odd reason.

Dom had heard about the prank that Jon had pulled on Adam, the other bodyguard telling him directly and almost knocking his head off when Dom started laughing. He had to admit it had been a good one but his own was better. Speaking of which he had best get downstairs before Alice got out of the shower. Once she saw what he had done to all of her panties....well....Dom was going to be in a lot of trouble.

Making sure he had the key to the chain with him, he crept downstairs and almost walked straight in to Jon. Grinning smugly, the body guard grabbed himself a soda before resting his backside against the counter and waiting for the scream, sipping slowly. It wouldn't be long so to pass the time he spoke softly to his Raj.

"I got some info on that Devon kid. He's originally from Ireland but he moved to England and joined a Pard in some place called Blackpool. According to what i got from the police over there, the kid's clean but got chased out of Blackpool for some reason or another. It looks like he upset his old Ra somehow but it will be a few days before i can get details."

He blinked when Dom almost ran into him and took a step back to see where the body guard was headed. His head tilted to the side as he noticed the look on Dominic's face. A moment later a high pitched girl scream pierced the air.Sighing he had to grin. "What did you do? I'm bound to find out after all." He sipped at his soda before glancing over to where Dom was settled against the counter next to him.

His can of soda was raised up to his lip when he heard mention of Devon's old pard. "Did you find out if it was his bad or something the Ra was doing?" Another scream sounded in the air and he had to snicker."Alright. I'm guessing whatever you did was super bad." He rolled his shoulder mentally preparing himself for the complaints that were bound to head his way. he sipped at his soda allowing himself a moment to relax. It was nice to not have to worry about anything really though his mind was drifting back to the matter of Devon.

Chuckling softly Dom shrugged after hearing the girl scream and looked innocently at Jon. He was debating wether or not to tell his Raj but he was bound to find out sooner or later from Alice herself. Rather than have his prank watered down so it seemed pitiful, Dom would tell his pranking rival the details here and now. Besides Alice had a tendency to not appreciate his jokes but Jon would.

"Well, you know how anal Alice is with her panties right? She's obsessed that no one sees them, even if we can see her naked, we can't see her panties.....I went down to the hardware store, bought a chain and padlock then looped all of her panties on to the chain, looped it to the balcony outside and then padlocked it in place for all to see."

Grinning broadly, Dom thought he had done pretty well for himself and he'd een wanting to prank Alison for a while anyway. It was the perfect excuse and from the sounds of it, the leopardess was really freaking out. Sniffing slightly as he waited for her to come downstairs and shout at him, he caught Ruby's scent on his clothes and smiled. Jon had asked about Devon again though and the body guard had to frown in thought for a moment.

"As far as i can gather he went against some sort of order. What i don't understand is why he wasn't killed for it. I mean if it was bad enough to chase him off then it was bad enough to kill him, in fact killing him would have been easier. I think there's something deeper going on with his old Pard, there's a few members that have got in contact with me, females mainly. They're eager to talk and scared."

He allowed his head to the side and just listened as Dom told him what he did. A smirk started working over his face even before Dom was finished telling his story. He did know how pissy Alice could be. Considering he himself was gay and that alot of the pard swung both ways he didn't know why Alice was so uptight about her unmentionables as it where. He shook his head as he leaned against the counter.

" I put super glue on the handles of Adams bike." He said if off handedly like it was no big deal or something. He grinned afterwards knowing that Adam was pretty much the only one that got to ride that bike. He could have of course but he wasn't a big bike person. He blinked coming back to himself when Dom mentioned the ex pard thing. "Talk to them. Offer them a place to go to if they need it. We could use the numbers honestly." His expression turned to the thoughtful side as he sat there thinking. "Had to have been bad for him to take off then."

Dom nodded as he started laughing. He had already known about Jon's prank on Adam but the funniest part was watching the muscley leopard try and get his hands off the bike. He had eventually resorted to asking for help from a few Pard members and considering how important Adam's pride was, well public humiliation was just the cure.

"Yeah, i watched Maddy with her spatula, trying to pry his hands from the bars."

As he spoke Dom did the actions, his impression of Maddy and the face of pure concentration she was pulling. He would never, ever tell her that in fact when she pulled that face she looked constipated. He was a prankster not suicidal, he had some basic survival instincts....some. Sometimes when it came to prank targets he picked badly but other times he chose well. Shaking his head to rid himself of the thoughts, he threw his empty soda in the bin and pulled himself up on to the kitchen counter as he thought about everything the Pard members in Blackpool had told him. Eventually he spoke albeit a little hesitantly as he heard footsteps on the stairs, angry footsteps.

"You sure about that boss? I mean...they sounded scared. Brave enough to snitch but scared enough to stay put sort of thing, you know? They sound pretty broken anyway, i doubt they'd take the offer even if i offered it and this Devon kid....they said he was lucky he got away. Makes me think the Ra in Blackpool isn't all she's cracked up to be, a lot of vampire support or something."

"Maddy had to help out. Bet that went over well." He smirked to himself. He hadn't bothered to get to many details outside of Adam eventually knowing it was the Raj that had pulled the prank.Apparently it was expected of him top pull a prank or two if only to keep up with Dom. He settled even more firmly against the counter nodding as Dom spoke.


This worried him a little. Something that made the pard looked broken but kept people by the Ra's side? Had to be bad. Or something to do with sex. Hell that had been his reason for getting out of his last pard. He wasn't going to deny anyone that was looking to get into a better pard if only to get away from a sex crazed leader. "Am I getting into a tight spot by offering a place for those guys?"

Dom nodded slowly in mock agreement with his Raj as he made his comment about Maddy. He had other things on his mind though and as those angry footsteps got closer, Dom started edging towards the window in case he needed to escape. He still listened to his Raj of course but his voice was getting quieter and further away each time he opened his mouth to speak.

"You could be boss but i think if you limit the number of people you can take then you should be alright. Of course if their Ra finds out it could cause all kinds of trouble you know? It's not just this Devon kid you have to worry about if you offer up places for the Blackpool Pard members that want to leave. You've got to think about us as wel and any possible trouble makers that could come over from that Pard. You have your hands full enough with me after all."

Flashing a cheeky grin at his Raj, Dom winked. He had to make light of the situation somehow and even whilst being serious he just had to inject some of his fun side in to it. He would go crazy if he didn't. Thankfully the footsteps he had heard went straight past the kitchen and disappeared out towards the pool. Perhaps Alison was still trying to get her panties down...

He really hadn't thought of damage that he could have risked by offering another pard places in his group. His look turned slightly thoughtful all thought of pranks flying from his mind at the moment. He really wished he knew more about the pard that Devon came from. Maybe it was a bit selfish of him to have this thought but he was glad that Devon had wander into his town and gotten his attention.

He turned his head to the side slightly eyeing Dom as he looked like he was ready to book it out of the room. Only when the foot steps pasted them on the way to to the pool out back did he notice Dom even relaxing even a tiny bit. "You think I should not say anything? I mean it's bad enough I some how claimed a mate out of their pard. Don't wanna bring more problems then we can handle after all."

Seeing his Raj's face, Dom smiled slightly. He deffinately had it bad for this Devon, so bad infact that he had obviously forgotten about the effects it could have on the Pard. One the one hand it was a bad thing as Pard safety was paramount but on the other hand...he had never seen Jon looking so happy when talking about a person. If only they could get the perfect balance then everything would be fine but in Dom's opinion they needed a little more information before they went ahead.

Rubbing his hand across his forehead gently, Dom let his thoughts show on his face slightly. He wanted his Raj to be happy, needed his Raj to be happy and if this Devon kid was the one that did that then so be it but he would be there every step of the way. At first he would probably hassle the kid to get a grasp on his personality but after that he would be keeping a close eye on the relationship. He knew that he couldn't really protect Jon from this aspect of his life but he could deffinately be there to pick up the pieces, just as Adam would be.

"If you think he should be here then offer him a place. He's not a part of that Pard anymore and without the touch of other shifters he won't survive it. Please just hold off on the offering more placs to his old Pard. Let me look in to it and see how broken they are before you invite these guys. If not for the Pard at least do it for this Devon kid."

He nodded still leaning against the counter all thoughts of how he had pulled a prank on Adam out of his head. He wasn't going to make trouble for the pard, anymore than what they already had on their hands that was. Getting the wraith of a psycho Ra wasn't something he wanted. Hell it was pretty much the reason behind the move from Africa to Venice after all. Hopefully he wouldn't have to turn someone down if they seriously wanted out of a bad place.

"Thats no problem. I'll bring Devon by so everyone can met him. He was looking to join before my whole little slip up anyhow." A hand rubbed over the back of his neck. "He seems like a good guy. Not trouble. I'd like think that my Leopard would be a good judge of character and not let me tie myself to someone who could be a cold blooded killer." Hands dropped back to his sides as he kept a thoughtful look on his face. "Hell I could ask why he left his old pard. Try to be slick and stuff."

Dom nodded slowly. Usually the Raj was a good judge of character, even if there were trouble makers in the Pard, they weren't wheeler dealers. No true trouble was caused, it was all just pranks and jokes and minor offenses. It wasn't like they were the kitty mafia or anything and as far as Dom was aware, that's the way that Jon wanted to keep it. The Pard was running smoothly for once, they had a leader that was doing well and was a true Raj. If this kid Devon came in though, did he mean he would be their Ra or just the Raj's mate? The pendulum swung in favour of the latter as true mated pairs were extremely rare but the clouded leopard couldn't help the small seed of worry that had planted itself in is gut.

Deciding to forget about it for now he focused on the task at hand, the gathering of information. His phone had just vibrated in his pocket and reaching down he flipped it open to read the text message as a rather loud jingle came from outside. The noise sounded suspiciously like chain and he tried to ignore it as he read the message. Still reading he turned his head slightly so Jon knew he was talking to him.

"I just got a text off one of the girls from his old pard, she's using someone elses cell. She says that Devon was quiet in their pard, followed orders and kept his head down until the Master of the City asked something that he couldn't do. Apparently that's when he got run out of Blackpool. He sounds like a good kid that just joined the wrong place at the wrong time, but why would the Master of Blackpool be giving him orders?"

It was a valid question as Dom had never met a vampire that could call leopards before. As far as he was concerned, vampires were just another type of animal you could rip apart. Just as his thought was finished there was a crash and rattle of chain outside. Looked like Alison had actually managed to get her panties down.

It was pretty quiet in the room so when Dom's phone buzzed Jon could hear it. An eyebrow slipped up and he kept silent knowing that his bodyguard was bound to tell him about whatever it was. A moment later he was proved right. Hearing what the other cat his nose wrinkled. Something he couldn't do? Or wouldn't do. There was a big difference between the two. He knew that well enough himself.Then came the ray of sunshine when the word Vampire sunk in. He sighed and shook his head rubbing at this face before making his way over to the kitchen table.

After plopping down on a seat he glanced back at Dom."Can't be for any good reason. He could have been a pomme or the Vampires animal to call? Blood suckers don't always play nice. He could have been making Devon do something he didn't want to. Probably got fed up with it,something broke the camels back and he got the hell outta dodge." His hands rested on the table and blinked at the noise. He had to laugh. "Does she even know who did it?" He glanced backwards towards Dom.

Dom shrugged. He had no idea about how vampires worked, never having met one or been involved in any of their politics. All he had heard were rumours and stories that said their politics were medieval and their execution of their duties was down right stone age. If that was the case then so be it. He didn't want anything to do with them and though he wasn't predjudiced he just didn't like the idea of being at the beck and call of a blood sucker.

"You know i have no idea about blood suckers and i don't want to know. As long as they leave you, me, Ruby and the Pard the hell alone they can do whatever they want in my humble opinion."

Shaking his head he shrugged at his Raj. Alison probably did know who was behind it and she would probably hunt him down and make him do her laundry for the next month. Ugh he hated laundry even if he did like clean clothes. The machine never worked right for him, something always wen wrong, like his favourite jeans being turned in to three quarter lengths after one wash.

"Probably. Just wait for the girly screams and you'll know she's found me."

A smart ass look appeared on his face and he tilted his head to the side. " That gonna be you screaming or her?" He had surprised Dom a time or two before so he knew how high pitched the other male cat could get if he timed it just right.He rubbed the back of his neck already deep in thought once more. He was only pulled out of it when Alice stomped into the kitchen her arms filled with lacey underthings. She must have been pissed off to not notice she was flashing her prized possession at both of the males in the kitchen.

"I know where you sleep. I'm going to get you back for this." Man red heads sure did pissy well he had to admit that much as he chuckled and turned the sound making it seem like he was just trying to get Alice's attention. He got to watch as Alice's eye got huge and she swung her face around to look at him. He grinned and waved the tips of his fingers at her before she took off out of the room trying to hide the clothing from his view.


"That was a good one. Your screwed by the way though. Now she's never gonna cook any pie for you." He hummed and leaned back in his chair looking thoughtful again. "Means more pie for me now I guess. " He laughed out loud looking over at Dom to see his reaction to the whole thing.

Dom merely smiled as the pranked leopardess stomped in to the kitchen, flashing all her underwear unknowingly. It was nice to know he could piss her off to the point that she forgot herself. It was like surprising a lion and the retribution would probably be the equivalent of being mauled by one. He heard the threat but he didn't really register it, he was more concerned with the frilly mint green lacey number that he could see. Grin widening he gestured to the pile just as Jon caught her attention and she tore out of the room.

"Oh man, i was going to ask her if i could keep the lacey green number but by the sounds of things it will be me screaming. I suppose i could always ask for the lacey green number at another time."

Shaking his head he laughed softly. Yeah Alice's pies were good but Jon had never tasted his mommas pies.

"My momma will still make pies for me. Tell you what, next time she makes one i'll even let you have a piece. Ah yeah hey, you got any jobs today? P.I. stuff? That stuff is cool."

He just laughed and shook his head at Dom's words. The bodyguard was lucky he had a way with the ladies otherwise Alice would never speak to the prankster again. It would only take a day or two to soothe over ruffled feathers then there would be peace in the pard house once more. Till Dom did something else. With that thought firmly in his mind he glanced over at Dominic.


He shook his head after a moment,"Right now I'm in the middle of a dry spell. Which is handy considering all the stuff that's bound to be hitting him with everything thats recently happened." Without noticing his hand moving he was idly touching one of the bite marks that he had received from Devon. Blinking he moved his hand from his stomach and tried to shake common sense back into himself. " Pie is always good. I only get a slice though?" A half wounded look appeared on his face even as he leaned back in his seat once more.

Dominic watched his Raj carefully. The taller male was rubbing at his stomach with a certain fond look in his eyes. Had this Devon kid marked him or something? Dom knew that with most mated pairs they marked each other but in all honesty he had never met a gay Raj before Jon and had to wonder if the process was the same. It would be strange sharing a cuddle pile with them that was for sure. He knew himself and knew that he would half expect them to jump on each other and start humping but he would certainly do his best to ignore it if they did. Dom was not homophobic in the least but he sometimes felt out of place around gay people, like they were judging him for being straight. The drag shows were good though.

Nodding slowly the clouded leopard let out a yawn before he started speaking. His tone was light but there was something underneath it as well. He was frustrated that his information network was taking so long. Usually he would have been able to tell Jon what Devon's favorite color was by now but maybe it was because the kid was originally from another country. He would get what he needed eventually but until then he would have to be patient, not something he was good at when it came to getting information. Trying to get his mind of it he switched back to the topic of pie.

"Yeah you only get a slice, you're lucky i'm sharing my mommas pie with you at all. Those pies could win competitions. Pumpkin and cinnamon in a light pastry, oh man beautiful but her best pie so far is her cherry and rum delight."

While he could kid around with the best of them pie wasn't one of the things he took lightly. He gave a slightly put out look at the mention of still only getting one slice. "So just enough to get hooked then I'm cut off? Harsh man,way harsh." He gave into his childish impulse and stuck his tongue out at Dom before picking at the mention of the rum. "She puts rum in pies? That's genius." Seemed like she was saving someone a step.

He yawned after Dom shaking his head. "It's way to early for that." Stretching he made his way out of the chair and away from the table. "It's still early enough I can hit the office and get some more filing done." He didn't mention the fact he was suppose to be on vacation.

Lack of help meant he had to go in on his off time to try to get caught up before he got swamped with files yet again. He really did need to hire some temp help but couldn't think of anyone that work well. He shook his head clearing that though he moved to the door. "Try to stay outta trouble and don't do anything I wouldn't do." With a cheeky smile he head out the door heading for his car.

Exit Jon.
