Chapter 413 - Allowed Entry
"Xing Han," Kyle said, "We're not sure yet if we can get in. Stay with the car first and if we can't, we'll just go elsewhere."
Xing Han pouted even more, "It's not fair."
Kay laughed, "We won't be long, okay?"
Xing Han nodded but didn't go back in the car, "I'll wait here then. Right here. I can see you from here. So be quick. I'm counting the minutes. No, the seconds! Don't be long now, okay? Okay, Kyle?"
Kyle laughed, waved at him as he and Kay sauntered over to the two buff looking bouncers at the entrance.
The two stationed there were standing at attention, seemingly not paying any attention to anyone or anything but was, in truth, on full alert. Their eyes were trained on the very striking, and young couple that walked over to them.
These two were experienced, having met all sorts of people who tried to get in. Rich ones, poor ones, doesn't matter. All were demanding and whiny, some more arrogant than others. They weren't bothered by any threats, bribes, seduction or even sexual favours.
Whatever these two would give them, they had seen it all.
So they were prepared.
Or so they thought.
"Boss," Kyle said, using the 'title' used in Country M when talking to someone in the service industry. It was a sign of respect and comradeship, and the bouncers were a bit surprised at Kyle's familiarity with its term.
Kyle said, "We just flew in here the other night. Could you tell us which is the next best club that is near here?"
The two blinked.
The foreigner was actually talking to them in their national language! They were shocked at how fluent he was, actually using the correct intonation and slang. Yet he said that they had just flown in?
Although they were feeling slightly suspicious, but couldn't help warming up to him quickly. There was just something about seeing a foreigner able to be fluent in their language, and more so when he seems to be able to seamlessly integrate within the local flavours as well.
"You mean, you're not interested in entering here?" one couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Kyle looked surprised at them, then shook his head, "Of course we are. What are you saying? But it's obvious that the place is full. It's not like we can ask you to let us in, right?"
He looked at them in respect, and at the long queue, "I wouldn't want to do anything to cause any trouble to anyone, more so to you who are only doing your job."
Kay smiled serenely at them and nodded, saying, "Yes. We had wanted to experience the nightlife here before going back. We heard so much about this place, but if it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be."
Kay had learned the language as well, with Kyle having taught her long ago. She had wanted to know as this was his previous life's world. She had wanted to be a part of it.
"Yeah," Kyle said, his face full of disappointment and hugged Kay tighter, "It's okay, love. There are other places."
Kay turned towards Kyle, smiling and patted his chest, "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Kyle kissed her on the forehead, his face gentle and full of love.
He then asked the bouncers again, "So, where else would you recommend us to go to experience the famous nightlife of your wonderful country?"
The bouncers looked at each other, then one said, "Hold on for a minute."
The guy walked away, taking out his walkie-talkie. After a few minutes, he came back to them with a huge smile, "Boss said since you guys are visitors to the country, he'll make an exception. You and your friend can go in."
Kyle and Kay looked surprised, and immediately, Kay grabbed their hands and gushed, "Thank you! That was so sweet of you!"
The bouncers blushed despite themselves and started fidgeting. Kay then turned to Kyle, gushing, "Aren't they the sweetest people ever?"
"Yes they are," Kyle said with a smile.
He then turned around towards their grabcar. Curling his thumb and ring finger, he placed them in his mouth and blew. A shrill, clear whistle was heard and XIng Han bounced out of the car.
Kyle gave the 'OK' sign and Xing Han happily paid the driver before practically running over to them. He rushed inbetween Kay and Kyle, breaking them apart and putting his arms across their waists.
"We can actually go in?!" Xing Han said excitedly, in English.
"Yes," Kay replied, "They kindly gave us an exception."
Xing Han bowed to the two bouncers, making them embarrassed again. Waving them in, they said, "Have a nice time."
"Oh, we will," Kyle said with a smile.
