"What did you say?"

"I pretended to be confused and said no" She bit her lower lip "The way he looked at "

"Did Maria ever htfully "Frank doesn’t look that old I doubt he would have been here when Maria was here"

"I don’t know, but the look he gave ain "I don’t know if I can do this"

"You’re strong" I grabbed her hands "You want to knohat happened to your sister, right?"

"Yeah" She nodded "He askedin, and he asked me who my roommate was"

"Frank did?" My eyes narrowed "Why does he care?"

"I don’t know I told him" She looked at me ide eyes "I couldn’t think of a reason to not tell hiht?"

"He won’t"

"He asked me about you"

"About me? Why?"

"I don’t know" She shook her head "A lot of people have been talking about you"

"Why?"

"I, uh, I" She blushed and looked away from me

"What is it, Nancy? Tell uess everyone is just surprised"

"I’m only twenty-five" I’d never felt so old before in uess it’s just unusual"

"I guess," I sighed "I wonder what really goes on at this club I’" Nancy gave me a look "Like a whorehouse"

"Whorehouse?" This tiht it was a strip club or souess the next logical step would be a whorehouse" I felt an ie of a whorehouse? I felt saddened as I thought about it Was I just another whore to hie of a whorehouse? Was Katie dating a pihed and pulled out some lipstick "I think it’s time for the next roo test" Nancy made a face and I stared at her in shock

"What?" I asked her with an opentest I think I failed I’d never even heard of half of the words"

"Are you joking?" I burst out laughing Was this so joke?

"Not at all" SheI’ period I know I failed that test"

"I thought you were crying because of Frank"

"Oh, no He creepsinto this that there would be plenty of creeps to deal with"

"Oh?"

"Well, Greyson Twining is the owner" Nancy shrugged

"You know his when she first started," Nancy whispered "I was young so didn’t really understand then But sos that she said"

"What did she say?"

"He’s a bad guy" She looked at me with a worried expression

"In ays?" I questioned her

"We have to go" She shook her hair "We’ll talk later"

"Okay" I tried not to sigh Every tiet some information from Nancy, she disappeared I was certain that she knew a loton, and I didn’t understand why she wasn’t beingEspecially since I had said I would help her

Chapter 4

I walked to the second rooht up in thinking about my conversation with Nancy that I al in the corner of the hallith Frank I slowedto hear what they were talking so fervently about

"I don’t know if I can do this," she whispered "I’ into" Frank’s voice was rough, and I saw his hand slide around her waist "If you’re a good girl, I’ll--"

"Take your hands off of me!" she hissed and stepped back

"You know you want it" He leered at her, and I stood there wondering if I should go and say so "Don’t try and deny it"

"I’d rather have Greyson"

"I thought you wanted Hastings"

"Well, the bigger fish is Greyson" She laughed "I’ve heard he knoork what he has"

"Don’t you go fking this up" He looked angry

"Oh shut up, Frank Don’t worry I can fk and work"

"Slut" His hand fell to her ass and squeezed "Just get e need"

"It’ll be like taking candy froasped when she leaned forward to start kissing him This was not what it seemed at all

"He wants us to shut her up if she tries to--" Franks eyes spotted me then and he quickly pushed Elizabeth away fro forto pretend I hadn’t just heard their conversation "I swear I get turned around so easily You know us blondes"

Frank looked at uess I need to try the next corridor" I giggled and ran uess you can tell it’s not dyed"

"Yeah, we can" Elizabeth’s tone was catty "No one would ever dye their hair that shade on purpose"

"Oh you never know," I replied back with a wide smile "I mean, look at the shade you chose"

I turned around quickly and walked back down the hallith a small smile on my face Elizabeth was such a bitch, but I knew I shouldn’t have said anything She could be a wealth of information to me; it looked as if she knew a lot more about the club than I did

And she seeavethat he knew exactly as going on here and what had gone on before as well It was a pity that neither of the, they were both in deep I just wished I knew exactly what they were involved in

I waited a few minutes and then went back up the hallway to enter the next room This time I was in a bedroom It reminded me of some sort of French boudoir, with its tall, stately bed and white shi from the side The duvet was plush and ivory, and there was an ivory-colored vanity next to the wall

I looked around the roo to be I couldn’t see anything, andto join me in the room Not that I wanted him to I needed to clear my mind out I needed to think There were sosense

"Walk to the vanity," a voice spoke in the room, but I couldn’t see where the speakers were this time "Walk to the vanity and open the drawer That is where you will find your next test"
