Texas Bandits

Part 4.

One week later...

Amy went home with a heavy head, exhausted from searching every day.
She was thinking of Sandra's words too and how much she needed the money to feed her kid.

"Hello honey, how was your day?" Nicole asked "Fine, I guess." She half smiled "I made us some soup for tonight's dinner." Nicole said.
"Thank you, Aunt Nicole, but I am full." Amy smiled, she went to her room and saw Brian sleeping on the bed "My sweet angel." She brushed his hair and cheek.
"I will do anything to make your future better than mine, I promise." She whispered and took a nap near him.

"Christopher." Martin called for him "How are you?" Christopher asked and shake his hand, "Good I was going to take Gloom for a ride." Christopher said.
"I had just washed him, he is ready." Martin said, "Where are you going?"

"Just by the river." He said, "Near Mrs. Nicole's house, I see." Martin laughed "How did you even know?" Christopher laughed too.
"She seems like a good girl." Martin said, "Yeah I guess so." Christopher smirked.
"Come here Gloom, let's go." Christopher rides on his horse Gloom and starts running fast towards the river.

He was almost near Nicole's home now, she has a big garden too "Nice house." He mumbled, Christopher saw a kid playing in the front yard with a ball in his hand.
"Who is that?" He asked himself, he saw Amy walking towards the kid and took him in her arms, and then start playing with him.
He smiled at the beautiful scene he just saw "Is he her brother?"

Christopher was still confused, he didn't want her to see him so he left the place before it gets dark.
"Mommy a horse," Brian said looking at it, she looked back and saw some man with his horse running away from the place.
"Yeah, that's right my smart baby, it's a horse." Amy tickled Brian and continued playing with him.

"Where are you going, honey?" Nicole asked, she saw Amy was getting dressed and going somewhere.
"Mm, they had accepted me for a job today and I'm going to see the manager." she paused "Don't worry about me, you can sleep now and I won't be long, I have the keys." Amy tried to sound as convenient as she could.

"What about Brian?" Nicole asked, "His milk bottles are in the fridge, just give him one after shaking it if he wakes up, and probably he won't." Amy faked a smile at her.

"It will be okay," Amy whispered to herself in the mirror and then looked back at Brian asleep.
He was the one who she was fighting for, "It will be okay." She said to herself again.

Amy waited for Sandra near the restaurant just like she had told her "Where have you been?" Amy asked when she saw her.
"I'm here, let's go." Sandra said, "What about my car?" Amy asked, "Leave it here and come with me, we will be back in a few hours, honey." Sandra said.
She looked back at her car and held her bag tightly to her body, you could see how scared she was.

"Sandra, are you sure things will be alright?" Amy asked with fear in her eyes when she gets into Sandra's car, Sandra rolled her eyes at her.
"Yes Amy, and if you said yes earlier you may have earned a thousand dollars." Amy looked shocked at her.
"What? a thousand dollars in a week?" Amy asked surprisingly "Yes, it's easy and profitable." Sandra laughed. "let's go now and don't forget the roles I had told you about."

Christopher parked his car near the restaurant, that's when his eyes caught Amy's car parking there too.
He half-smiled "She is here." He thought "Martin." He whistles "Yes sir." Martin ran to him.
"Is she inside?" He asked with a big smile "Who?" Martin asked "Amy!" Christopher said pointing at her car.

"No, I didn't see her inside," Martin answered
"Weird why would she park here at this time, while no other places are open?" He asked, Martin didn't get it too he was confused.

"Sandra? stay close to me please!" Amy begged her, the place was new for her and scary.
Drunk men were everywhere, "I'm here Amy, get inside and change to this, and don't forget to put your mask on." Sandra said and start to change in front of the other girls, "Get inside Amy or change here." Sandra said again.
"No, I will get inside." She went there looking at the place it was not dirty at least and the furniture was fancy.

Amy starts undressing and wearing the dress Sandra had given her, it was too short and revealing "What is that?" Amy asked looking at herself in the mirror.
It was a black dress that was covered with cuts and her breast was showing "Wow." Sandra pulled up the curtains.

"No, it's too revealing I can't wear it." Amy said ashamed "And who will know you here?" Sandra said, "They are all drunk and wasted, no one will know you, innocent girl." She winked her.
"Put your red heels on and let's go we have a show to present," Sandra said, the music voice was loud too, too loud for Amy.

She walked after Sandra like a lost puppy, she had no clue of what to do "Now move your hips and whatever these drunks men throw up at you put them in your pocket." She said to her.
"All the money?" Amy asked confused, she burly could hear her "Yes everything, Wow! let's go." Sandra starts screaming through the music and dancing to the men.
Amy had tears in her eyes she was so lost she didn't know what to do.

"It has been a while." Christopher said entering his friend's place "Yes and tonight is special, there are beautiful girls." he said, "They will dance and strip if you want." He laughed.

Christopher just smiled at him and took a vodka from the bar "You don't remember seeing her near our restaurant?" Christopher asked Martin again.
"I don't know." He said, "But I saw Sandra with a girl in her car."

"Sandra? she not in the night shift today." Christopher said, "Yeah I know, that what made me confused." Martin said
"Mr. Rodriguez." The owner walked to him with a girl behind him, she was wearing very short shorts.
"You can have her she is all yours." The girl walked towards Christopher and tried to play with his buttons.
"Stay still girl, I don't need help." He said in a rough tone, she just pulled away from him and stand there.

"Oh my god." He heard Martin saying, "What?" Christopher asked, "What's wrong?"
"Is that Sandra with the purple mask?" He asked, Christopher's eyes moved to the stage "And is that...?" Martin couldn't complete the sentence,
"Amy." Christopher breathed.
