“They want me to get information on the MC,” Roseanna says, pacing.
“Well, go and do what you need to do to pay this debt,” I say, waving my hand.
“I can’t go alone! Please come with me. If I don’t do this, they will sell me off to the Cartel. I don’t want to be a sex slave,” Roseanna says, teary-eyed.
I stare at her, shaking my head. I scrub my face and walk over to the window. The fucking bikers are out there.
“Why are those bikers here,” I ask.
“They want me to ask for a job at the strip club,” Roseanna says.
“I can’t fucking believe that you got into so much trouble and you’re dragging me down with you,” I say through clenched jaw.
“Yeah, I’m in fucking dip shit,” Roseanna says, pacing.
“Well, I have to go to work,” I say, looking at the time.
“Okay, when you get off, we can go to the MC’s Friday party,” Roseanna says, stopping in front of me.
She grabs my arms and looks at me with hope.
“Huh! This is fucked up! I don’t want to be near bikers,” I huff, shaking my head.
“Please, Roxy. I need you,” Roseanna says.
“Okay, I’ll go with you,” I say, nodding.
“Oh my god, thanks,” Roseanna says, hugging me.
“Well, I need to leave,” I say, pulling away.
“Let me leave first, so they don’t see you,” Roseanna says.
“Okay, hurry because I’m going to be late.”
“Roxanna, thanks for working a little longer,” Lucy says, pouring coffee into a mug.
“No worries,” I say. “I need to get home.”
“Tomorrow is your day off,” Lucy says, placing the coffee mug in front of our regular customer.
“Yes, but if you need me, I’m open for an additional shift,” I say, smiling.
“No, you need to have some time off. Thanks for the offer,” Lucy says, smiling.
“Call me if you need me,” I say, nodding.
I walk out of Grub Corner and walk home. I’m so tired, and I don’t want to go out to a biker’s party.
I walk up the stairs and down to my apartment. I open the door and walk inside.
“It’s about time,” Roseanna says, looking at me.
“Well, I just got off,” I say, walking to the room.
“Hurry up and get ready,” Roseanna says.
“I’ll be ready in a few,” I say, nodding.
