Violet P.O.V

I was getting ready for my night time shift at the local pub when my phone started ringing and a unknown number pops on the screen "Violet I know your probably wondering why I'm calling you but, there is no time for questions I need you to follow directions in order for our family to be safe." a deep rasp voice said "Ok, I will do anything." I told him not wanting anything to happen to their family. "There is a note outside of your balcony. It will be your guide, you are to do everything it says"..... The line went dead...

I remember hearing the same voice when I was little i just couldn't match it up to the person. I put on my dark black heels and I slowly walk towards my balcony becoming very cautious about my surroundings. I quickly open the door, grab the paper note, and pull the door back behind me. Just incase there's a serial killer I lock the door and take a deep breath before examining the piece of paper in my hands.

Dear violet,

I wish I could be there to guide you through this and help you out like the dad I should be, but I cant Im so sorry you dont deserve a life like this. When you were younger i made a imbecile move on my part, we were really poor and needed the money. So I made a deal with a friend, if he were to give us the money you would have to get married to his son and only you. If I knew what I was getting into I would have never done such a thing. I really hope you can forgive me for my intolerable acts. I will always miss you.
-love you, Dad

I feel tears rolling down my cheek and my breathing getting ragged as I try to process what I just read. I turn the back over and read the step in order.

1.) Go to the pub and act like you know nothing.

2.) watch out for any strangers who seem off.

3.) After closing hours there will be a man in a black suit named jack he will tell all the other details.

I realise im going to be late if I dont hurry and go to work. I wipe my tears away and run out my apartment to my Volkswagen bug. I strap my self and speed of through the busy streets of LOS ANGELOS, I get to work and go behind the bar to start taking orders from people.

"Hi what can I get you." I say and look at a younger man dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. "Vodka, please." he says with a smile that makes me swoon instantly. "Alright." I say and grab the bottle of vodka and pour it into a glass and hand it to him with a smile.

All of a sudden the place starts to get louder so I look to the door and see the usual rude group of college boys. Im just going to be nice to them i say to myself and put on a fake smile.

They all get seated at the bar "Hey babe, come over here." one of them say and I give the guy I just met a sad smile. "What would ya'll like." I say through my gritted teeth and fake smile. "Well are you on the menu because i really would like to eat you up." A guy with black hair and hazel eyes says.

I start laughing then stop to have them staring at me like I killed person, "Is that really how you talk to women, cause if it is, that's sad." I say walking into the backroom to get a different waitress for that area.

"Hey Julia can you cover my spot while I cover yours." I ask the other waitress Julia "Yea sure are those college guys here?" she says in a annoyed voice and I nod.

"Dont worry I'll deal with them, just go take care of my people please." she says walking out. "Thanks." I call out to her. I walk out the room and go serve the people on her side.

At 10:00 I start cleaning up while people start exiting the door, except the rude group of college. "Hey baby wanna come with me tonight?" a guys calls out. I stop what I'm doing and stare at him with fire burning in my eyes "Not if you were the last person on earth." I say to him with a straight face.
