Deal

Michael's POV

I'm sat in my office staring at the clock and Randy walks in. "You ok?" He asks softly "I will be in an hour" I say still staring up at the clock. "Have you just spent all morning staring at that thing?"

"Pretty much" I mumble "have you thought of what your gonna say to her?"

"What am I supossed to say? I just wanna get her out of there!" I snap "Ok, you need to try and stay relaxed because if you go in there screaming and yelling then you could just end up making things worst"

"How could this get any worst? We called the police and they didn't do shit! How could they have just ignored a call like that?" I frown and Randy doesn't say anything for a moment "many they didn't?"

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe they already know about it" he mumbles "Then why would she still be there if they know?" I frown confused. "Not all cops abide by the law. For all we know Mary could be paying them off or Leanne could have lied. If she was that scared she'd run back to that place then maybe she's scared to tell the truth too. It took months before she told you and she trusts you" he points out "she obviously doesn't trust me that much if she ran away from me" I mumble "maybe she thought you'd get in trouble or something, but only she can answer that so when you see her, just stay calm and don't yell or get mad, just ask her calmly and find out as much as you can" he says calmly and I nod. "Now you have an hour to get yourself together and think about what your gonna say" he smiles at me through pursed lips then leaves.

There are more questions I want to asks Leanne, but everytime I try an think about what to say to her all I can think about is just grabbing hold of her and dragging her out of that place.

Leanne's POV

I'm getting ready to start the day and Mary walks over to me. "You have an appointment booked for 2:30 and the clients requested you stay clean, so you have the morning off" she smiles at me through pursed lips and I nod "who's it with?"

"Um... I think it's with Michael or Mark" she mumbles trying to remember. "Not that it matters anyway"

"Of course not. I was just wondering" I fake a smile "Why?" She frowns confused. "All my clients like different things the like. I just like to be prepared is all" I lie. "And this is why your clients keep coming back" she smiles proudly and I fake a smile at her "I'm a little busy right now. Why don't you go check in the book" she smiles and walks away.

I go over to the desk and see that it's Michael that has booked me and I start to become nervous, because I know he's going to want to talk to me and he's probably still angry with me for running away, but it's not like I had a choice. If I hadn't come back Mary would have turned up at his house and I really don't a want him to get in trouble for trying to help me.

"What's the matter with you?" I hear Lisa from behind "what's it gotta do with you?" I frown turning to her and she ignores me and walks over to see what I was reading. "Michael's coming here today?" She looks nervously "so what? Your not embarrassed about him seeing you here are you?" I say sarcastically "of course not" she shrugs "it's not like I'm some filthy hooker that works here.. unlike you" she looks down her nose at me "maybe not yet. We've tried to be nice to you and help you leave before it's to late, so why are you still...."

"How many times? I'm just staying here for a few days and then I'm leaving. I'm nothing like you"

"You know what? I've tried to help you, so when it does happen. Which it will don't come crying to me"

"Someones snippy today" she chuckles "what's the matter? I thought you'd be happy about seeing your boyfriend today. Because that's what Michael is right?" She smirks "I wonder how Mary would feel if she found out one of her little whores was breaking rules" she says cockily and I suddenly flip shoving her into the wall.
