Chapter 2
The night came and went like it was a blink and soon Scott found himself riding down the highway upstate, his gps set for the large estate. His truck rumbled on as he left the main rode for a side road, the pavement rough and dotted with potholes that his large tires glided over with no problem. The truck was his graduation gift years ago, a 97 Chevy s10 painted with matte black rhino liner giving the surface a rough texture that allowed nothing to stick.
He crept down the drive and couldn't help the ‘damn’ that left his lips at the sheer size and beauty of the school.
He eased to a stop in front of the gate and ended his gps, going into his contact list and scrolling down to Piotrs name.
The line rang just once before it was picked up and the deep voice of the giant carried through the phone.
“Colossus speaking”
“Hey its scott, im at the gate”
“Ah yes very punctual, just a moment”
The call ended and after a minute the gate creaked open by itself, most likely a switch in the household. He rumbled up the circular drive and parked a bit to the side so he wouldn't block any other visitors or staff. Piotr was on the front stoop watching as he shifted into park and killed the engine. Scott dropped his keys into his bag and stepped out of his truck, joining Piotr at the large front door.
“Oh i filled this out last night”
He fished through his bag and handed over the packet which Piotr took and tucked under his arm, turning to open the door for the other.
“Please come in”
Scott thanked him for holding the door and stepped into the large hallway.
“Wow this place is beautiful”
He took it all in, the wood paneling and scattered paintings and head busts of beneficiaries and owners long gone.
“It is quite a work of art, come i show you around”
Scott fell behind him and had to move a bit briskly to keep up with his larger strides.
“The kitchen is-”
He was cut off by the sound of arguing floating from up the hall.
“Bhozi moi, my apologies for this”
Scott furrowed his brows in confusion but still followed as they rounded the corner into a large kitchen. Two men, one he recognized from the news as he had the metal arm but the other man ,whose entire body seemed to be made up of scar tissue , he did not .
Two teen girls sat at the counter, also from the news , both with bored expressions as they watched the two men bicker back and forth.
“I would NEVER cum in the soap dispenser”
Scott laughed to himself in shock, the words of the man completely blowing him away.
“Wade language please”
The instant tiredness of Piotrs voice told him that this was a normal occurrence. The large man attempted to calm the others but soon was roped into the argument himself as Scott simply stood in the doorway and watched. This didn't seem to be something that would be resolved soon so he slowly made his way over to the breakfast nook, joining the two girls.
“ guess this happens a lot”
“Yeep”
The dark haired one drew out her response and popped the P, gaze not leaving the three bickering men. He sat down and stared as well.
“Im Scott , new housekeeper”
“Hi Scott i'm Yukio”
The peppy one replied with an outstretched hand which he shook. The dark haired girl also reached to shake his hand.
“Ellie”
“Nice to meet you guys”
They lapsed into silence and watched the arguing continue on.
“The dispenser isn't even my type i like my shit chrome-”
The scared man paused before he could rub piotrs arm and turned to scott.
“Hello new person”
Scott hid a laugh with his hand and shook his head.
“Hi im Scott, housekeeping”
He completely abandoned the argument to lean against the counter , propping his body against the marble in a flirty fashion.
“So you'll be going through all our dirty laundry”
Sott laughed again and shook the man's outstretched hand, almost hesitating due to the nature of the previous argument.
“Don't worry i always wash up after i play with my-”
He was cut off by a large chrome hand wrapping around his throat, lifting him like a scolded puppy as Piotr walked him out of the room and into the hall, feet dangling almost a full foot from the linoleum floor.
Piotrs stern tone echoed down the hall and Scott shook his head with a laugh.
“Connoisseur of the old pump and dump huh”
This earned a groan from Ellie and a giggle from Yukio and he turned to look at the other man who was going through the fridge with anger behind his motions.
“And you are? If you don't mind me asking”
‘Nathan”
He said his name without even truly acknowledging the other before walking out with what appeared to be a canned beer in his grip.
“Charming”
“Hes always a grouch”
Ellie stated bordely as she stood and moved to put her cup into the sink, casting a disgusted look to the soap dispenser.
The hall fell silent and heavy footsteps approached as a disgruntled colossus returned .
“Shall we continue tour?”
