“Hell yeah. I’m all for that. So who are we digging shit up on now?” Burker asked and Tazer smiled. They were getting close to finding the man who ran the prostitution ring. He felt it and something told him this place Luther’s was going to break the case wide open. It was just a feeling or possibly a hope, so he could wrap things up and focus solely on Eliza Grace, the woman they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with.

“I cannot believe that you said you would do one more show. What about the guys? What will they do when they find out?” Missy Ann asked her.
“I don’t know. I want to tell them but then I’m afraid to. It’s only one performance
and I’ll be out of there by ten, tops.”
“But what about that guy Si? I thought you said he seemed like he was following you to these shoots this week. Plus it was his yacht that you were on Monday.”
“I know,” she said and thought about it. “Why don’t you come with me? You can even stand back stage off by the bar and then we can head out together.”
“Seriously? Wow, you want me to keep this secret with you? Man, I don’t know. I don’t really like bars and clubs like that.”
“I don’t either but it’s one time and on Friday night. Please, come with me so I won’t even have to talk to Si and the other guys.”
“Okay. I’ll do it.”
“Awesome. Thank you so much, Missy Ann.”
“What are best friends for?” she asked and then Eliza Grace had to answer the phone. Clarissa was calling.
She spoke to her about Edwin Divanni. He wanted her to be the main model in the lingerie show and wanted her to stop by his shop after the runway show Saturday. Clarissa would be there too. She agreed and then hung up the phone.
“What was that about?” Missy Ann asked her.
“I’m going to have to have a sit down with the guys. That was Clarissa. This big designer of lingerie from Charleston wants me to be the main model to showcase his new lingerie line.”
Missy Ann widened her eyes. “Lingerie?”
“I know. It’s as big a step as wearing a bikini, but from what I’ve seen of his designs the lingerie is very classy and sexy but not too revealing. There’s always an overlay of sheer adding to the sexiness and mystery of what’s underneath. I like the styles.”
“But what will the Hayes brothers say?”
“Not sure. But this is my profession and it could lead to a lot of other opportunities. Besides, the pay is amazing.”
Missy Ann smiled. “Then go for it. If anything, you have four sexy, muscular men that can be your personal bodyguards if need be,” she said and wiggled her eyebrows up and down.
Eliza Grace chuckled. “Could you imagine that?” she said and looked out toward the park, thinking about her sexy men and how complete they made her feel. Maybe they could be her personal bodyguards and she could have them nearby on every shoot. Then she shook her head. “I couldn’t be selfish like that. They have this case they’re working on right now and it takes up a lot of their time. They seem so upset about it but hide the details from me. I don’t want to be a burden.”
“Maybe ask them about going to see you Friday night. That way you won’t feel like you’re lying to them?”
“Maybe I will. They would want to be there.”
“I’m sure they would. Plus I’ll sit with them so they don’t do anything crazy or rash,” she said and winked.
“Like you could stop them.”
“Well, I could try to calm them until you got to them. I’d give it a try even though they are quite intimidating to say the least.”
“Well, I appreciate that. Maybe I’ll ask them later.”
“It’s the right thing to do. Plus you’ll be sharing another personal talent with them that they didn’t know about. They’ll love hearing you sing.”
Eliza Grace smiled. “Okay. I’ll call them.”
