“I made it..” Lex smiled as she walked into the studio.
Frankie looked up as she entered, “We are just about ready to start shooting..... I want to get all of your scenes done first because I need you to take care of some business for me.”
Lex set down her bag and walked over to Frankie, “What kind of business?” She asked, curiosity piqued as she glanced over at the cameras and crew setting up for the day’s shoot.
“Got a couple of rogue sinners I need you to locate and collect from.”
Lex’s eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of rogue sinners. She knew that Frankie didn’t usually deal with them personally, so whatever was going on, it must be important. “And why can’t your collectors handle it?”
“I need someone I can trust to handle it. Plus, they may not be too pleased that we have found them.”
Lex nodded, understanding the implications. “Consider it done.”
Frankie nodded, “I’ll give you the details after we finish up here.”
Lex nodded, already mentally preparing for the task. The rest of the day’s filming went smoothly and quickly. After they wrapped up, Frankie pulled her aside.
“The first one is named Viper, he’s been skipping out on payments for his...’services’ for quite some time now. He’s been spotted at a club called ‘The Den’ in the Red Light District. Be careful, he’s known to be violent when cornered.”
Lex smirked, “Don’t worry, I can handle myself. Who’s the other one?”
“The other one is Raven. As you know she’s been providing ‘entertainment’ services to some of our higher-up clients, but she’s been taking on her own clients on the side and not paying her cut. She would be more likely to talk to you than the boys.”
Lex nodded, taking mental notes. “I’ll have to play it her way.” She smirked before turning to leave. “Thanks for the intel, I’ll make sure to take care of it.”
“Be sure you are at Valentinos by 8....”
Lex looked back over her shoulder as she walked out the door, “Valentinos at 8, got it.” She muttered to herself before heading to Ravens.
..............
Lex sighed as she stepped out of the car in front of Valentinos, “Made it with time to spare...” She quickly made her way inside heading to the backstage area to clean up.
She quickly ducked into the dressing room she usually used when performing. After a few minutes, she emerged looking polished and put together in a sleek black dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. She made her way to the bar, “Whisky....”
The bartender nodded, pouring her drink before sliding it over to her the counter.
Lex quickly popped two pills into her mouth and downed the drink. “Another one please.”
The bartender raised an eyebrow but poured her another drink as she requested, “Rough night?” he asked.
Lex noticed Frankie’s boys eyeing her as they spoke to him, “Fixin to be....” She quickly downed the shot, “Make this one a triple...” she sighed as Frankie waved her over. She took the glass and made her way over to the group, “Evening Frankie...” She said with a fake smile, trying to hide the effects of the pills and alcohol starting to kick in.
“Ah Lex, perfect timing.” Frankie smiled with a sly grin, nodding towards his boys. “The boys here were just talking about you.”
One of the men stepped forward, a look of hunger in his eyes. “Yeah we think you’re just what we need to make our night complete.” He said in a low voice, reaching out to touch her hip.
