Thread: An Unknown Fate (Reydan and AndNich123)

Lusty Lady, she read aloud over and over. I know that.name. Tessa shifted from her kneeling position on the floor to Tinas day planner that was on the desk. Tina kept the book to make herself feel important, or so she had told her sister. She knew there was no way her life could be busy enough to constitute needing one, and yet it still feel made her feel something she couldnt describe to have one. My big girl book, she would often call it, even going so far as to decorating the cover with just those words. Tessa gingerly touched the book once more before flipping through the pages. Lusty Lady appeared for the first time on a Friday night several months ago. Then every Friday after that, the letter LL simply appeared. Friday, she questioned aloud. Thats impossible. She was.she was working at the library the next town over. Quickly she checked the card once more. It was the exact same town. Was Tina lying to all of us? What was she doing there then? Tessa reached for the phone dialing information. She asked for the number to the library in the next town over. Hanging up she dialed the number quickly and waited until a soft, womans voice picked up on the other end. Yes please. Can you tell me how long Tina Calligan worked there? There was a pause before the voice replied, Im sorry Miss. We have no record of a Tina Calligan ever working here. Are you sure you have the name right? Tessa sighed. Yeah. Ive got the right name. Wrong business. Thank you anyway. Hanging up she dialed the number in the lower corner of the card. When there was an answer, she could hear the music booming in the background. Yeah. Id like to speak to Tina Calligan please. Another pause before the voice tells her, She dont work here no more. Wait, Tessa screams. So she did work there? Im looking for her. Im her family. Please. If you know where I can find her, The line went dead. Hello? Hello? Tessa slams the phone down, grabs the card and heads towards the kitchen. Thanks Graham. Really. Thanks. Next time Ill call first. Promise. She doesnt meet his gaze, and shes stuffed the card into her purse already. She knows how painful it is for him to look at her, and so she makes a quick exit. Jumping into her car, she buckles up, and takes the card out once more. Lusty Lady huh. Well I think its time to visit this place. She starts the car, puts the address in her GPS, and backs out of the driveway. The entire drive she pushes the speed limit and leaves the radio off. That voice on the phone knew her sister. Maybe he knew where she was. Besides that, there was the fact Tina had been living another life that none of them knew anything about. A strip club? Tina was as modest and plain as any woman one would imagine when they pictured the country. There was nothing flashy, or even remotely like the city about her. Most people never even believed she had been born and raised there. As she pulled into the parking lot of the busy club, Tessa knew she would fit right in here. She gets out of her car and heads for the front of the line. Look buddy I got cash, and Im willing to pay. Right away, he tells her stepping aside and letting her enter. Theres a creepy smile on the impossibly large mans face, and even though he had moved aside, she still had to squeeze between him and the door. Thanks, she tells all the people in the line she just cut in front of. Im sorry. Really. Get going. Im sure the boss will want to see you. Shes taken aback by his words, but decides to play along. Yeah. Right. Im sure he will. Disappearing into the dim light, loud music, smell of alcohol, and sex crazed people Tessa has no idea whats really going inside this club. Stripper poles, cages, even a catwalk make her gasp. No way Tina was involved in this place. A hand grabbing her ass forces her to turn on her heels ready to slap someone. Back off buddy! The man grins. Ah come on baby. Ive missed you. Show me what youve got under there. How did you get back here anyway? The boss is gonna be pissed. Again, there was mention of this boss. Wheres he at? Where can I find him? The guy points to a door at the other end of the club. His office of course. Good luck. Youre in for it Tina. As he made his way past her, she stared at the office door. He had only confirmed what she already thought. They do think Im her. They think Im Tina. Good. Lets see where this leads to. She made her way across the club seeing people touching, going so far as to having sex right there in the open. Shady drug deals and drug use littered the scene as well. A few men seemed to be discussing business as they had papers scattered on table tops. Not my idea of a business meeting venue, but hey. To each pervert their own I guess. She knocked on the door, only opening when the voice told her to enter. Inside it wasnt lit much better. She stared at the man behind the desk waiting for him to say something.
