ROUGE

TRUTH

Lila's POV

Neon is one of the most happening clubs in town. Whatever it is that you are looking for, Neon will have it.

Alcohol

Drugs

Women

Members of elite society etc

The staff here are people who don't speak Russian to avoid any leak of information. And for the past three days, I have been working here as an American waitress. I knew that my American accent wasn't that great but it worked. I was still waiting for Martinez to show up. Our lead was correct. He does hang out here often. Now the only possibility is, he either got to know that we are after him, or someone else got to him first.

"Это симпатичная шлюха" (That's a pretty looking whore) I heard someone behind me say. The sudden urge to smack the beer bottles in my hand on the man's head was coming out strong. But I knew I couldn't do that. It would blow up the cover. Putting on my fakest smile, I turned around and spoke

"Can I get you something"

"Ты можешь пойти со мной наверх" (You can come with me upstairs) He hushed out trying to sound seductive. Please note the word trying.

"I am sorry I don't understand" His breath stinks and I needed to get away cause I am pretty sure I was clutching the beer bottle with extreme strength.

"Где, черт возьми, мое пиво" (Where the fuck are my beers?) I heard someone scream from the back. I felt myself doing a little happy dance inside, for not giving into my anger and breaking the stinky man's head.

"Excuse me sir" I spoke and moved towards the table. As I was putting the beers down, I heard them speak

"Он предал своих; Никто не любит предателей. Может, он и помог Петровым, но никогда не станет их частью. Руж обязательно убьет его" (He betrayed his own; No one likes a traitor. He may have helped the Pedrova but he will never become a part of them. Rouge will definitely kill him)

"Петрова получил свою лояльность за несколько миллионов. Он был достаточно глуп, чтобы пересечь Руж. Он будет убит, и его семья тоже" (pedrova got his loyalty for a few million. He was dumb enough to cross Rouge. He will be killed and so will his family) Another man said

"Всем известно, что Руж не занимается наркотиками. Петрова ошиблась и его поймают. Мне просто интересно, как скоро Педрова отдаст Мартинеса Руж. Даже Педрова боится Руж. Они знают, что Руж возьмет верх" (Everyone knows Rouge doesn't deal with drugs. Pedrova made a mistake and he will get caught. I am just wondering how long before Pedrova gives up Martinez to Rouge. Even Pedrova fears Rouge. They know Rouge is gonna take over) The first guy said

"Do not disturb us for the rest of the night. If we need something we will call for it" Another guy on the table said. I nodded and turned around to leave

"Петрова пыталась свалить вину на Руж. Полиция все еще пытается добраться до Руж. Медленно и тупо, весь отдел милиции. Они никогда не поймают Петрова. Мартинес может быть с полицией, но если он откроет рот, Педрова убьет его" (Pedrova tried to put the blame on Rouge. Police are still trying to get to Rouge. Slow and dumb, the entire police department. They will never catch Pedrova. Martinez might be with the police, but if he opens his mouth, Pedrova will kill him)
