Life of an Ole Lady

1

 I absolutely hated work tonight. We were short staffed on both dancers and servers so I was having to do both. I rarely ever danced but I made a promise to Alex that I would if he needed me to then I would on the condition that I didn't have to do personal dances. Tonight the bar was swamped tho and I didn't have much choice. I had given 3 dances, been on stage 4 times already, and managed to keep all my tables taken care of. I was absolutley exhausted by closing time. I put on a big T-shirt and some jeans and grabbed my phone.   "Need help locking up Katie?" I said to my best friend as I walked back up front.   "Actually can you lock the front door and we will just go out the back." She said as she finished cleaning the counter. I walked to the front door and was stopped by a gun to my head. A man in a dark leather jacket led me back inside. I looked over to see Katie sitting in a chair with a gun to her head as well. I was sat down in a chair right beside her. The men started talking between themselves in spanish and I couldn't understand what they were saying but I recognized the patch on their back from a club in my home town. I had left Charming 5 years ago as soon as I turned 18 to get away from my dad and his club so I wasn't sure why the Myans were this far out.      "I never thought that Piney's daughter would be a stripper. I guess you turned out to be trash just like your brother." The man said.      "Fuck you. My brother is twice the man either of you are." I spat back earning a punch to the jaw. Katie screamed lightly.     "Astrid just do as he says. He is going to kill you." Katie begged me but my attitude got me in trouble again as I continued to cuss the man until he punched me again. This time I was knocked out.    When I woke up I was in the back of a van with Katie beside me. "Oh my god, are you okay?" she said to me when I woke up. "Yeah I'm good, where are we?" I said as I rubbed my head. She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure, they said something about a place called Charming and making examples of us." "Shit. Katie I'm sorry I got you drug into this. This is my fault. I thought if I left there then I would be safe but I guess my past ran me down again. We have to find a way out of here." I started looking around for anything I could us as a weapon. I found a crow bar under the storage compartment in the van. "Listen to me. When we stop I need you to stay back, I am going to try to get us out of this. Okay?" She nodded but looked scared to death. Once the van stopped I heard two men get out and I didnt hear any other vehichles. I heard one of them yelling for someone to come out and see what they have for them as I got ready to attack as soon as the door opened. Once I seen the light I swung the crowbar with all my froce into the head of the man that opened the van and I heard a gunshot and seen the other man fall. I looked over to see my dad's old club house and Opie standing with his gun pointed at the man who was just shot.
