Miami Merchandise Mall Parking Lot.
The very
second that Mariah opened her mouth, pretty everything she said went in one year and out the other. Johnny heard bits and pieces but it was really irrelevant to the guy. Except for one part, one tinsy little thing.
"Muderfucker-- we thouh' Kimberly was legit and she wasn'-"
"...
That's because you dumb asses fell for the
oldest trick in the book," Johnny didn't even face Mariah and it seemed like, even though he was
directly responding to her, he was speaking to the entire Coven at once. "You let a little white girl with a
smile play you all. Simple as that. But it's okay:
I for one believe in
honor among thieves. It's obvious none of ya'll are upstanding citizens, and I could tell that without watching that video of ya'll beating the brakes off those hillbillies."
Then his eyes drifted over to the DENS before he commented, "... But ya'll really need to learn what
omertà is."
He shrugged for a second before he glanced at Mariah for just a second before he focused on the rest of the Coven. "Though, something don't seem right about that whole thing with Kimberly..." He trailed off for a second as the cards in his hand slid down into his sleeve, and then he rubbed his chin. "...
How can ya'll
lead her to the club if she already knows
where it is...?" He started chuckling.
"But, that's not importa-"
"Oh, but it
is,"
Madison chimed in as she crossed her arms and faced down Johnny. While Mariah was currently on her own planet (as always), Madison couldn't help but agree with her. Johnny was probably shadier than she was, but he agreed with Madison's own sentiments - just that he was being vague on purpose and
playing games and she was about to break her foot off in his ass.
"Alright, Johnny, start talkin' and no bullshit," Madison spoke and there was a demonic element added to her speech when the Jaws activated and began growling. "What does Kim have to do with Dollhouse?"
"Oh? She didn't tell ya...?" Johnny chuckled, "Well..."
He cracked a grin.
"...
She was one of our biggest suppliers, in fact. "
Madison raised an eyebrow as Johnny dropped that bomb. "... Biggest supplier of what?"
"Oh my
lord," Johnny rolled his eyes. "Did that bitch tell you
nothinhg? And you took at face value
just because? No wonder you got
played so hard. Ha!" He started laughing.
"Look here, stop this bullshit and get to the point!" Emily shouted at Johnny as she dropped the tethers as she said. "All she told us was that Dollhouse sold cures for curses!"
"... That's not
all of what Dollhouse does," The grin on Johnny's face disappeared as he spoke dead seriously. "The best way to explain Dollhouse is that they're a human traffickin' group! Except... for
whatever reason, they've been kidnapping people kicking out their souls and putting their Apparitions in 'im. Every people in there except for me, Luis, and Cowboy-bitch was an Abscised... and I know for a fact ya'll know what
that is. They may
sell cures, but that's not what they do."
Johnny leaned up against the same lamp post that Sharon was on top of. "So, while Kim didn't
lie - she sure as
fuck didn't tell ya'll the whole truth!"
"I..." Madison trailed off for a moment as she realized that it was her that got the Coven into this. It was Herik's idea but was she really free from blame? She sighed as she decided to hold her tongue yet again and let this blowhard keep talking... and while she hated to say it; she kinda believed him.
"And if you're wondering what
her part in this is; well, she supplied Dollhouse with bodies. See, that bitch was runnin' one helluva hustle! A ghost or whatever possesses a chick in her show and she can't find the right soul?" Johnny shrugged, "She sold them to us in exchange for a cure... hell, even Sharon's body here was gotten by Kim!" Johnny pointed up at Sharon.
"...
Hi, Penny." She awkwardly waved at Penny.
"However, I guess the bitch had a change of heart... she wanted the bodies back from Dollhouse and as you may have guessed; they didn't want to lose their brand new bodies. So..." Johnny bared his teeth as he looked down for a second. "... Me and Kim devised a plan to take out the head of Dollhouse, and right when we were about to enact it: the
retard thought that it'd be more beneficial to take out some of the grunts instead of taking out the big three when we had 'im right where we wanted 'im."
Johnny shook his head.
"If it wasn't for her boy toy, Natalie would have killed her." Johnny shrugged as he looked at Isla. "As for
why you should trust me; well, I'll be blunt here; you don't. But you guys clearly have no problem trusting any dollface that comes your way, but let me tell you something..."
He raised his hand as he raised a finger and wagged it with a coy smile on his face and he spoke in a very condescending tone, "... Luis isn't going to let this go. Natalie isn't going to let this go. The Mannequin isn't going to let this go. They're going to come for you all, and trust me; it's gonna be
ugly. They don't give a shit about whatever the hell is going on
up there, it's about perception, sweetheart. And letting some bitches cross you like that is bad for appearance."
He sighed.
"Now, as for what
I can do for you, it's simple: Dollhouse still has the potions you want. One of their little bitches named Faust can make these potions and she keeps a bunch in her workshop. I can lead you there, but I want the big three out of the picture. And trust me..."
He chuckled again.
"
... You want them gone, too."
