🎶Hail Lord Luci! Hail Lord Luci! HAIL LORD-aaahhh!

Big Glock 40 shot up e party (ha)
Big-Batty-Catty ah rev e Saki!
Travel through traffic, she a clap e 'Matic
As e pussy dem speak, put a shot inna him mouth...🎶
My theme song played as we rolled up to a club in Tivoli Edens called, Asylum.
"Who dat, Pencil Man!"?, a familiar voice shouted to Marco. He had many names here.
"A me, man, woi-yoi!", he greeted.
"Mario, thank you for allowing us to sponsor this party," the Senior Marketing manager of Sole Drinks Company, Dante Naza, came to shake Marco's hand. He had many names here.
"Nuh worries, man, just send on the promo girl dem suh me an mi associates can have fun," Marco grinned.
"Of course," he flattered and ran to gather the promo girls who were here to serve the VVIP.
"Hi, I'm Shanna and I'll be your server for tonight," the tallest girl came right in my arms and laid her head on my chest.
"Pour me your most expensive drink, Shanna," I ordered.
"Thank you, sir," she beamed a genuine smile as I make her base salary with one purchase.
"Rewards will be given for expert service," I reminded in her ear.
"I'd be happy to attend to you, sir," she promised and ran off to get me the Elemental Pearl I ordered.
"Your drink, sir," she poured my cup and brought it to my lips.
"That's smooth," I sipped.
"I'm glad it pleases you," Shanna smiled graciously.
"So, Shanna, how long have you worked for Naza?", I probed and leaned back into the comfy chairs so, it looked like the drink made me lax.
"The better part of 5 years...".
"He has something on you, don't it"?, I went straight to the point.
She opened her mouth to answer, but stopped herself.
"No," she decided to say.
"I'm not asking. You have a brother, the only relative left of your family. He's big and useless and signed a deal that has trapped the two of you," I revealed. I felt her squeeze me as she leaned into my embrace and threw a leg over my lap.
I played the role a little too well and cuffed her ass.
"What do you want?", she asked into my ear and giggled.
"I want you to give him this," I grabbed her ass and dragged her over my lap, slipping a vial into her underwear.
"Am I killing him?", she grinded into my hand.
"No, just making him very dependent on the latest drug from East America," I pulled her closer and she continued to whine her waist on my lap as I removed my hand.
"Pity...," she muttered.
"Don't worry, I have your brother under watch and ready for extraction as soon as you're done with the task. When you send the signal, you'll be extracted as well. Both of you will be relocated and cared for until you get back on your feet," I assured her and there were tears in her eyes so, she buried her face into my neck and performed provocatively.
Now that business had been attended to, I ordered a rum-infused Lemon of Heaven from her and then switched to another promo girl.
"Hi, my name is Thalia and it's my pleasure to serve you tonight," she whispered, looking shyly to the ground. I almost threw up on her. That twinkle in her eye is something only children have.
"Hey, darling, how about you get me an Elemental Pearl and come kick it here with me for the rest of the night," I spoke softly and withheld my anger, Naza would get his due.
"Really?!", she perked up in excitement and looked at me with big hopeful eyes.
"Yup, now, hurry up," I smiled.
She ran and stumbled a little to the VVIP bar, collected my order and returned with a little sweat on her nose.
"Give it to the table over there and come back to me," I pointed to where Marco sat.
"Okay!", she giggled softly and delivered the bottle.
"So, why are you a promo girl at your young age?", I inquired distressedly.
"I need money and because I'm fat, I look like an adult. Naza saw me on the day of my interview and hired me personally," she summarized, but I knew her story had so much more to it.

We'd chatted and danced for most of the night then, Marco indicated it was time to go.
"Tell Naza I'm taking her," I instructed Marco.
"Where we going?", she asked curiously.
"I'm gonna drop you off at a hotel for a two-night stay, how bout it?", I squatted in front of her as she sat on the chair.
"Can I go get my mommy too?", she asked with lit-up eyes.
"Of course! Does she live in the community?", I pointed to the North of the club.
"Yes and she have three days off this time! What a t'ing, eeh!"?, she exclaimed.
"Great!", I cheered with her, but I had no good feelings for this mother of hers.
*
"Alright, take care now, y'ear? An' if you want har number or she must come look for you in foreign or anyt'ing, just reach out, y'ear?", Thalia's mother held my hand through the car window, said her lengthy goodbyes as if we were familiar and didn't forget to pimp her daughter.
"Yes, man, I hear. Anyway, Thalia, later, y'ear?", I waved to the little girl.
She smiled and waved back.
I already gave her the help I could. She'll have a scholarship to the top school in the country's capital, Kingstown, board at the Beverly Hills, Crystal Palace, and complete subsidies for necessities and pocket money. I hope she makes it and doesn't get roped back in with her mother whom she begged me not to have locked up.

"Next stop? I asked Marco.
"You head back to America for Sanka to pick you up...".
🎶 All I do is win, win, win!
No matter what!
Got money on my mind,
I can never get enough!
When me and Khaled do the remix,
Everybody's hands go up!
"BOMBOCLAAAAT!", everyone in the dance shouted during the pause. Then, the beat dropped.
"Guh suck yuh mada! Guh suck yuh mada!", we continued over the song.
🎶 Up! Down! Up! Down! Up...🎶²
