Dana couldn't head home, how would she sleep knowing Xixi was still in police custody?
She imagined Xixi been released when she was old, with falling teeth and grey hair, hell no! She had to get her friend out of there as soon as possible she said to herself quickly pushing the thought aside as she waved down a taxi and got into it.
Everywhere was already dark, but the city hardly ever slept especially the parts with clubs, hotels and all the businesses you can think of that still carried out it's operations regardless of time.
"Where to ma'm" the taxi driver inquired.
"Just keep driving up town, I'll let you know soon"
Her mind was wondering helter scatter looking for a solution to Xixi's problem. After about 6 long minutes she finally got it, like an erecka moment she didn't know when she shouted out.
"Ah haa! I got it" she said her heart fluttering but her face betrayed how she felt inside while still looking all serious.
The taxi driver who was a man probably in his late 30s seemed to be used to this sort of out brust, if it were to be someone older he probably would have had a heart attack with the way she had shouted.
"Take me to Villas club" she said her eyes outside the window, as if checking for something, but in reality her heart was pounding so fast praying to the heavens the plan she cooked up worked out.
"We're here ma'm"
Highlighting the cab she quickly gave the taxi man his pay.
The air inside the club felt so different as she stepped into the club, hitting her with a wave of memories she quickly put in check, rubbing off the tears that had began to form in her eyes.
She hated clubs, they reminded her of a life she long put behind her to start her life afresh.
As she walked in, eyes followed her, mainly because of the way she dressed, she had changed into her PJs when she left the house without thinking to even change into something better in the spur of the moment. But then again she still looked good in her Micky mouse loose crop top and baggy plain pink trouser.
"How did she get in wearing those, didn't the bouncers see her? " She heard a scanty dressed girl ask her friend twisting her makeup packed face into a frown, catching Dana's glance she quickly looked away pretending to sip her wine.
Ignoring all the weird and uncomfortable glances she was getting she strode deeper into the dimly lit club, the lights inside the club were all blue, with lights of different colours oscillating where the strippers were.
Walking up to a girl dressed in bad girl cat costume, who was obviously busy with a client and had given Dana a slight frown when she interrupted her, also she didn't like that this "girl had made the man she had tried so hard to attract to be staring at her like he had lost his senses, common she wasn't even well dressed! She screamed in her head. Dana requested for them to step aside to have a talk which she blatantly refused until she heard the name Dana whispered into her ear admist the loud music blasting from everywhere in the club.
"Excuse me my love, the girl in the costume said kissing the middle aged man she was seated with before getting up.
"How gross, Dana said in her head, mentally throwing up at the sight. she didn't blame the girl though, she would be a hypocrite to do that cause once upon a time she had been in that situation although she only stripped and refused to follow the men (which by the way she was constantly punished for) that threw money at girls at clubs thinking they were mere instruments of pleasure.
"Follow me" she instructed Dana. Quietly Dana followed her.
"You can call me KC " she said rather calmly this time.
Dana knew that wasn't her real name, Madam Song never let her girls use real names that was how she could run her business for over 25 years before handing it over to that witch of a daughter she had after she died from poisoning. Which by the way Dana got accused of, tch why was she suddenly thinking about all this? Quickly she shoved the thoughts aside.
"So what do you want to know and about whom?" KC asked as they entered into a room that looked like a control room but that concept was killed with the drinks stocked in glass shelves around the room.
"Hu Chaoxiang" Dana said for the first time since she started walking with KC.
"Aishh that bastard, KC scoffed, proceeding to the question she had in mind ever since Dana had whispered into her ears.
"It isn't my place to ask but how do you about the Sisterhood, more so Madam song" KC looked at Dana's face curiously, as if waiting to sniff off even the slightest answer to her question from Dana's expression, but Dana looked blank. Something about how Dana remained calm and collected scared her, she couldn't even guess what was going in on her mind....
"Like you said, it isn't your business" Dana said trying hard not to come off rude but oops with KC's expression she had failed in doing that. She just didn't want word going around about her presence in a club that was under the Sisterhood's control, although she had changed her name to Dana from her original name, it was still easy for her to be traced that's why she purposely avoided all the CCTV cameras as she followed KC in.
"Here it is" KC said nonchalantly as she picked at her long artificial nails.
"I didn't mean to come off rude" Dana spoke, avoiding to say sorry, it wasn't really one of her great attributes, but since this girl was helping her she had to be nice at least.
"It didn't seem that way, by the way why are you doing this? If that punk got on your nerves you could just hire some guys to beat him blue black you know, rather than going through this, it's pretty obvious you don't like it here.
"For a friend, I need to clear her name"
"A friend? For someone who seems to be close to madam song I didn't expect you to consider anyone a friend. You know the Sisterhood's code of "been Ware of everyone".
"What the Sisterhood has going on doesn't concern me!" Dana said calmly as she ran her hand through her head.
"Easy girlie, I didn't mean to hit any nerves. You know what, I could help with whatever you've got going on, that punk's gotten on my nerves allot of times lately. Noticing the look Dana gave her she quickly chipped in "that's if you're down for it though" she completed with a smirk.
"Umm.. I guess it won't hurt to use an extra hand.
Tomorrow, 1pm Shan hotel, meet me there"
Dana said. without waiting for a reply she strode out.
"Let the games begin she said as she stepped outside the club, her breath was almost stopped as her eyes fell on a pair of striking brown eyes.
"You!!" They both chorused not been able to hide their shock.
