Undercover

Chapter 9

Not long after I left my house, about fifteen minutes, which was the minimum time it took me to get to the club from house, I saw Kaleb leaning on a wall with his both hands in his pocket looking to the left and then to the right, and when he saw me he did a salute and leaned off the wall. I quickly got out of the car and ran across the street after checking if cars were passing. "You made it on time Jess", he said in a somewhat cheery voice, and I side-eyed him, "what are you so happy about?", I questioned him, "nothing, nothing", and he looked down. "Well then let's go", he turned to go inside with me in front leading, "wait!", he called out to me, I turned around, and he fished out a pair of women's shades and a hat form his jacket, which I assumed it was those items that made his jacket puff a little. He opened out the hat which folded a little and placed it on my head, and then he unfolded the sunglasses, and before putting it on my face, he paused and looked me in the eyes, and slowly started leaning in. I could tell what he was trying to do, "I can do that myself thank you very much", I told him as I grabbed the sunglasses from his hand to put it on myself.

We made our way inside, and he draped his hand around my shoulder, and I let him, to make it look like we were a couple, and it was a good thing he told me what he'd be doing else something would have gone down. "Brandon, my man", and the man in black that was here the day I came looked across to Kaleb's direction and nodded opening the purple velvet ropes. "Alright Jess, I need you to remember what we talked about and please don't get caught", "don't worry, I won't I reassured him, as we walked further up the stairs.

I have to say it was not exactly what I expected, rooms ran along the corridor on both sides, the lower you went I was guessing the more important you would have to be, because the numbers on them gave it away. "Okay so which room do you get into?", I looked to him and asked, " well", he started off explaining to me, "there are different levels to this place, the first is the VIP section, ranked in numbers form one to ten, but bronze, silver and gold are the colors which represent the VVIP clients, right now I'm at level seven of the VIP section, so I could get into rooms from level one to seven", he finished explaining, "so where do we go to get info of what my sister does by the way, and where exactly does she work, I thought you'd at least seen her a lot more than the couple of times you said you saw her?", I asked again, "Maddie does work on this floor, but not always in the VIP section, she just covers for a friend sometimes, which is why I barely see her, I think it's because her usual shtick is in the VVIP section".

"Look Jess, I know it's none of my business", Kaleb started off, then I put my hand up interrupting him mid-sentence, "you're right Kaleb, it's none of your business", he looked at me hurt but in an understanding way, he knew I was mad, so he did not peruse the conversation anymore. "Kaleb, my man, where were you, I've been waiting for you, I got the stuff", and this person waved a baggie of white powder in front of his face smiling until he saw me, then he quickly put it back in his pocket. "Kaleb, you didn't tell me you were bringing a lady friend", he said in the most douchiest ways possible, and he smiled extending his neck form his line of vision from Kaleb to look at me. He extended his hand for me introducing himself as Cory, "woah there, easy tiger", Kaleb interjected, she's with me and she probably wants nothing to do with you so keep your hands to yourself and let's go", Kaleb said pushing away Cory's hands and leading his hand in the direction where we were going.

Everything was going fine, until Cory turned around to look at me, "Sweetheart, you do look familiar, I swear you look so familiar to me", he said making this weird face people make when they're thinking, he couldn't see it, but behind my shades, my eyes were as big as saucers, Kaleb looked at me, not panicking at all, and just simply said, "yeah", she has one of those faces, but Cory I think you already got drunk without me!", slinging his arms around Cory's shoulder, he lead him to the room on the left hand side of the corridor that had the biggest sparkly number seven. "Welcome to mi casa", Cory started off and turned to me realizing that he hadn't even gotten a name out of me, "Grace!", Kaleb said quickly seating Cory on the closets seat he could. Bottles of alcohol littered the table, I even saw syringes behind the ice bucket and pills with little cross-eyed smiley faces of different colors on a plate, made to look like a course meal.
