The Dark Knight

Prologue

Lucy walked into the Luxurious Bar that evening dressed in the special requested uniform, she looked around for the man that ordered her, Joe and his thug Bosco and saw them approaching her from the distance. She rolled her eyes as she walked toward them, getting into her role play immediately

‘Well well see who we have here Bosco, sweet Lucy has arrived’ Big Joe leered at her

Bosco snickered and had a burning look in his eyes as they trailed her exposed legs and short outfit

Lucy was immediately repulsed, as always, Bosco was always a leach when she danced and she thwarted his advances each time but with this job, you almost have no say at all, you are paid to entertain and give pleasure

‘You still owe me for the last gigs…pay up or I won’t dance’ Lucy said to Joe as she stood in front of him, her eyes defiant and hands akimbo

Joe snorted ‘You will dance for me girl’ he said harshly, coming close to her to grab her roughly but she stepped back

She took a quick look around observing his loud friends sitting at the middle of the bar, obviously waiting for their entertainment and right there she decided she won’t do this again, not tonight, not for free. She walked out on them and was heading out by the back door when she heard heavy footsteps behind her and she quickened her steps

‘You walk away from this and you won’t live long enough to regret it Lucy’ Big Joe threatened in a cold voice as he caught up with her

She spun around and faced him, just as he lunged at her

City Center, on a back alley of the most luxurious bar. The notorious street gangs were lurking in the corner observing their territories and the altercation between Lucy and the middle-aged man caught the attention of their leader

Lucy still in her high school uniform stood under a dim light, in front of her Big Joe groped her body. She threw off his hand like an angry lion, looking for a means of escape.

Suddenly, a boy rushes out of the darkness and grabs Lucy's hand, they run to the street

‘Bosco’ The man yelled to his bodyguard nearby as he watched enraged, as the boy and girl disappear down the streets

‘Yes Big Joe’ Bosco replied, coming to view from the shadows

‘We have a problem that needs to be dealt with’ the man called Big Joe said in a sinister voice

‘What do you want done Boss?’ Bosco asks grimly

‘Have them followed, report to me then we take it from there' Big Joe sneered

Bosco nods then whistles for his sentinels and two men approach quickly. He whispers the instructions in monotones and the men head off

Bosco snickered and turned back into the bar to join Joe and his friends, all of them unaware that things were about to go awry for them and their underground empire in a matter of days…
