Bad kind of Butterflies - Rio (good girls)

Ch. 2 | The favor favor and stolen money

"I'll get you your money, I just need some--" 

"More time, right? Nah, it doesn't work that way," the gang banger interjected

"What's going on right now?" Mags looked between the two of them.

"Ya," the gang banger asked. "What is going on, Eddy?" But there was no response that was uttered from his mouth, it was like his mouth was sealed closed.

"No? Damn, I guess I'll tell her," the man said, placing his signature golden gun on the table causing Mags to let out a startled scream. What had he gotten her into? 

"You see, your little friend did a job for me. I gave him money to wash and he would get it all back to me. Oh but that's where the problem is, right Ed?" the gang banger picked up the gun and clicked the gun barrel into place. "See Eddy here, didn't think I would notice that he put some of my money in with the clean money. Now I'm here to collect my money that he swapped out."

"I don't have your money right now Rio, just give me a few days and I'll get you your cash."

"I already told you it don't work like that," Rio told him with the gun pressed to Ed's forehead.

"Is there anything else he can do?" Mags whispered the fear thumping in her chest.

"Shouldn't have stolen my cash," His finger on the trigger.

"Stop! Please. Is there anything I can do to keep him alive and get you back your money?" Mags asked quickly and Rio's finger paused.

"Ya, I guess you could do something for me mamas," The gun placed back in his waistband.

"Anything," Mags responded.

"I got a job for you," Rio whispered in her ear.

________________________________________________________________________________

When Rio mentioned a job this was not what she had in mind, but what did she have in mind for a gang banger like him? She started walking towards the strip club, apparently this was her way in. It didn't make any sense but with Ed's life on her conscience she didn't ask questions. She was supposed to get close with this guy named Stan or more especially Stan's wife Ruby. So here she was at a strip club dancing audition. Not the place she'd expected to go back to.

"Hey, I'm here for the dancing audition,"

"Hi, I'm Krystal, what brings you here for dancing on the pole?" One of the dancers asked her.

"Money's tight and I have experience," She responded.

"We're all stuck here for a reason but we're family, how bout you show us your stuff and maybe you'll join us." Krystal told her.

After talking with all of them and becoming close with all the girls she made her place there after a week and luckily she met Ruby after meeting the famous "Stanimal."

She called Rio up on the following Sunday, "I'm in,"

"Okay, ma, I guess your boy is good for now. You know, maybe I'll have to stop by the club sometime to see how well you're doing your job?" Her cheeks flushed at the thought of him showing up with her in lingerie but before she could respond he had hung up. He was trying to kill her ex-boyfriend, she couldn't think like this. Part of her wondered if Ed deserved it though.
