The Devil's Candy

Chapter 13

That night, Jinnie is super excited while doing my makeup. She rambles on and on about being able to prove to Noah she can be a baiter.

"I'll show him. Who does he think he is? My dad? Screw that," she determinedly chants.

I sit there very jittery trying to calm myself down. Why did I want to be a baiter so bad? Do I want to join Dom's gang?

He never mentioned what it is we are going to do; only to just dress nice. But nice for Jinnie meant sexy. After she makes the final touches on my face, I get up and grab the dress Jinnie picked out and head to the bathroom to change. 

The black off-the-shoulder dress had cut outs above my cleavage, under my boobs, and one across the stomach. The whole thing is being held together in the back. I step out of the bathroom to put on my open-toed heels.

"Well, how do I look?" Jinnie asked from the doorway of my room. I turn to see her in a strapless bodycon pink dress. It's showing off all her best assets: her boobs.

"You look hot," I stare in shock. She truly looks amazing and vibrant which no one would ever expect from her since she is always wearing gothic clothes. Everyone except me that is, but even now seeing it in person is still a major shock as she spins herself around, showing off how extravagant the dress looks on her. She smiles at me.

"I know right?" She squeals as if the comment is something she hasn't heard before. I'm surprised she went for such a girly color and not her usual dark attire. I apply one last layer of bright red lipstick when the doorbell rings. 

We gathered our small clutch purses before making our way downstairs where I opened the door to find Noah and Dom standing there. Their demeanor was something I have never seen. Both boys were speechless, jaws dropping to the ground and eyes wide.

"Well fuck me," Noah whispered, even though we all heard him.

"Not tonight sweetie," Jinnie replies, giving him a pat on the cheek. She pushed past the boys and made her way towards Dominic's car, getting a cat call from Eli and Olly who I just noticed were in a separate vehicle. Noah follows behind her like a lost puppy. I step out making sure to lock the door. Dom hasn't taken his eyes off me as we make our way to the car.

"Looking good Bambi," he whispers in my ear. A slight blush makes its way around my face. As we get into the car, Noah's driving while Dominic takes the passenger seat and Jinnie and I in the back.

"Okay, so the plan is for you two to go in and get information from a guy named Jackson. He is an informant for a someone that's been on our radar for some time," Noah tells us, "We've been recently trying to take down their shipments for targeting younger kids and getting them hooked on whatever shit they have, but they've managed to slip under our noses several times on where shipment arrives. See if you can get that out of him."

Jinnie and I look at each other, for this is not what we were expecting as our test to become baiters. Trying to get information from someone close to a drug lord?! We don't even know what he looks like or if he's heavily guarded. I slowly started wishing we had an easier task to prove our abilities as I started to feel nervous. Jinnie speaks first asking, "How are we supposed to know who he is?"

"Trust me you'll know. And don't worry, we'll be watching."

We finally arrive at the bar where they drop us off at the front door of the establishment. It has a nightclub vibe with a bodyguard at the entrance standing all intimidating below a neon lettered sign: Crescent Loft. 

Two other patrons enter the bar and we start to follow behind acting as if we're with them. As we enter, I see in my peripheral vision the guys ride around the corner to park the car.
