More Secrets

Andre pov

"Son is everything alright" dad asked " uh yeah" my phone beeped again

Q: you have to get me out of here Andre he can't see me

" actually no uh I seems my girlfriend has fallen ill she's texting me now" I lied " oh no want me to help" asked mom I cut her off " oh no there's a nasty bug going around she must have caught it and last thing we need is our future senator to be sick" I protested dad raised an eyebrow " I guess your right" dad said " yeah I'll go head take her home" I said getting up from the table

I rushed to the bathroom where Queenie sat in the tub knees to chest "omg Andre" she exclaimed " shhh I need you to act sick" I said helping her out " yeah sure let's go with that"

I escorted Queenie out the bathroom She immediately went into character toppling over as if she was dizzy her grabbing the walls I just scooped her up bridal style he buried her face in my chest began moaning " were almost to the car" I said I kissed her forehead as we walked by my parents " are you sure you don't need help" asked mom " No no I got it I learned from the best" I smiled I grabbed her coat and mine draping it over her to keep her warm we walked to the car. I carefully placed her in the passenger seat I whispered "you have a shit load to explain"

Back at the apartment

"WHAT THE FUCK ELSE ARE YOU HIDING QUEENIE" I yelled "I know I'm sorry I'm" "SCARED YEAH SURE THAT YOUR EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING" Queenie eyes widen " one thing I hate is being in the dark you have been keeping me there I don't understand why" Queenie walked around the apartment " the Titty Pop is the breeding ground for drugs and sex trafficking

Every day drugs are being sold cocaine heroine,  but once a month one Girl gets sent overseas on "vacation"really what it is a trade ..." Queenie spoke " your father the mayor started coming around three years ago funding the trade" I raised my brow " it's like as soon as he started coming the club began having more changes ...new lighting better food the music costumes.... then the new installments"

Queenie got quiet " the titty pop strip club was to only bring illusions the thought of having sex with us... now they actually have us" she got quiet again began rubbing her arms as tears rolled down her face. I quietly sat next to her " Have you ever tried to leave" I asked "YOU CANT WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT" Queenie Yelled " they made us sign contracts at gun point "your our best girls" they would tell us " but you are disposable" so we sign all of us are scared shitless Andre one girl committed suicide they did nothing that place is a hell hole"

I sat back in my chair in awe "with all that's happened Queenie where does this place my dad where's your proof" looked me in the eyes " her head was cut off"  my stomach dropped " Ann was supposed to be the next girl to go she was willing to fight for all of us to get out they brought her to meetings , giving her gifs, and they all thought that she's a whore she's not listening plus a little whiskey also helped"

"Ann would always come back and tell us everything, like how this if being funded" Queenie said " how is it being funded" "the Red Ruby's Foundation" my vision shot back at Queenie " no no no there's no way my father hold me those fund raisers for breast cancer awareness and in honor of my mother" I defended " yeah but all that money goes to the titty pop , think about it your dad started these fund raisers 3 years ago around that time before nobody talked about titty pop until after now the titty pop is top dog strip club in Pennsylvania we're up the with king of diamonds"

I sat back in my chair disbelief " it just doesent make sense of how my dad would be using that money" " according to Ann there's a guy who handles all the money I think his name is uhhh ... Henry..." " Henry Blackberry my dads accountant"I said for her " look I think I've herd enough for one night" I said " yeah I'm kinda tired myself" Queenie said

We both laid down in bed Queenie turned too look at me "I knew Ann ... she was my best friend and was that glimmer of hope for all of us and now ..." tears rolled down her face " you have to be that Andre you don't have a choice ..." Queenie took a deep breath trying not to work herself up too bad " you have to save me save all of us because if you don't they will kill us off one by one it will be on your hands" she said I reached my hand out wiping her tears " you have my word"

Next day

So I make my way to Henry office because not only is my dads accountant he's the family accountant I honestly hope Queenie is lying.

"ANDRE! what a wonderful surprise" boomed Henry " yeah you know thinking about moving to another apartment making sure I have the funds to do so" Henry three his hands to the sky " WHEW thank goodness your finally moving out of that shit whole" he said laughing I know my place is bad but damn maybe I really should consider moving out to a better apartment "it seems like everyone keeps saying that" I said Henry laughed again leading me to his office " oh come on Andre everyone in Philadelphia knows detective Andre Davis has the worst apartment ever" he said

We sat down at his desk " so how much are you planning on spending" he asked " I kinda want to splurge so let's say between 10,000, 000 and 30,000,000." I threw out a number "ok let me go grab your file" Henry stood up left the room I looked around making sure no cameras surprisingly there are no cameras suspicious. I opened a file cabinet skimmed through records of anyone Henry is over, nothing ... then I looked in other drawers still nothing finally I opened a drawer that had three flash drives each marked Red Ruby 1 2 3. I could hear Henry coming back so I quickly took those flash drives sat back down in my seat as if nothing happened

"Andre you have enough money to buy a new house car and your own wife if you wanted cause all you do is spend money on greasy fast food and dog treats" he joked slamming down my files in front of me.

After we spent two hours talking about finances I didn't care I just needed to get out.

That night

While Queenie prepared spaghetti and meatballs I turned on my computer plugging in
The usb immediately files loaded onto my screen of every fund raiser every donation sent to titty pop under the name Red Ruby my mouth dropped. I look over at Queenie who was watching me in the distance, tears falling from her face , she turned off the stove ran into the bathroom crying. I couldn't help but cry too
