“Deedee wants to know if this woman’s all right. She hasn’t seen her or her sister at mommy and me in a few days. This is where she works; now shut the fuck up. You’re at a strip club, dude.”

As soon as they entered the club, Dom went to the bar wanting to see a manager while Case wandered off to who knew where.

“What can I getcha?” the bartender asked him.

“A manager,” he told him.

“One of the girls not giving you what you want?” he asked, a cold look crossing his face.

That pissed Dom off immediately. “You let these girls hook for you?” he demanded to know.

“You a cop?” He backed up.

“Worse,” Dom told him coldly.

As he ran to get the manager, Dom turned and took in his surroundings. The lights were so dim you could barely see. Three stages were spotlighted with women dancing on each and bouncers standing in front, but not doing their jobs as men were grabbing at each of the girls while the bouncers felt up the waitresses.

Shaking his head in disgust, he looked to the side where girls were coming and going from. When he saw a young woman matching the picture he’d found of Deedee’s friend, he began to make his way over when another man pushed her against a wall. He didn’t need to hear her scream to know she was.

A loud roar caught his attention as Case barreled his way through the crowd faster than Dominic could, reaching her just in time to rip the man off of her and toss him into a table, knocking it over.

“Shit.”

He watched in fascination as his friend, the man who hadn’t been gentle with any woman other than Dee, her mom, and Angela, held out a hand to her. She shakily took it as he pulled her to his chest, cradling her head in one hand and holding her waist in the other as she visibly shook.

Interesting.

He turned as the manager finally came out to meet him.

“How can I help you, sir?” He had a greasy sleaze ball look to him.

Dom knew instantly that something more was going on than met the eye. “Well, you can tell me all about her?” He pointed to where Case was currently getting his ass reamed out by the girl he’d just saved.

The end!
