Love Between Wars

Episode Twelve

"Do you have any idea where this Vetoven Club is?" She blurted out after banging at Teo's door. The man's eyes were still half closed, probably from sleeping.

"You're disturbing my privacy woman, It's nearly 1 o'clock in the morning for God's sake, ugh." He complained as he ruined his hair instinctively. But she was stubborn and determined.

"Just give me a tiny idea, though!" She even blocked her body to his door, preventing him from shutting it.

"I could kill you right now for this, but you are dying already. I didn't visit that place, but Greg did. That woman had been there for months, that's all I knew. Try to get some information from the bartender, I don't know if it helps." It wasn't much information, but she could dig deeper into it. Every time she saw the clocks ticking she cursed. She has 14 hours to complete the task. 'Okay, calm down. First we needed to dress up and fly out there.' She was breathing deeply in and out,, without wasting her time, she took off her clothes and changed them into a dress. " Ugh! How could I walk with these five-inch heels!" She took the car keys and headed outside. Just when she was about to enter the car, Greg had also come out of his car. 'What is he doing here?' But she didn't mind him, she had a task to complete and the time was running fast.

" For the second time, don't pull my arms like that!" She spat out of nowhere. Now she could feel her wound starting to sting.

"You will be dead before you can get there, it's freezing outside. And don't drink any alcohol, you will just end up like her if you do." Those were the last words she had heard before entering the car. The time was 2 o'clock in the morning already. She punched the car's steering wheel out of frustration. She had lost lots of time. 'Let's get this done!' Her thoughts muttered and she drove faster afterwards.

Flashing of lights were everywhere, the club was dim. Greg had put the location on her car's GPS and she was thankful he did it. It made it easier to get to the place. Now she was standing inside near the entrance. Plenty of plastered people were dancing, there were flirting and even having s*x in the midst of everyone. She nearly puked when she had a glimpse at them. 'This place is disgusting,!' The counter was empty and there was only one bartender, who was cleaning the glasses. She composed herself and walked smoothly and took a furtive glance at every inch of the club. Finding any suspicious scene which will lead her to the woman she was searching for.

"Welcome lady, here's your drink," he was smiling broadly at her.

"Uh, I haven't ordered anything yet. As you can see, I have just arrived." Now she was curious and became suspicious. He was too good looking and well built for only a bartender.

"Don't worry, it is safe to drink. It's only a margarita, good for you." He winked and left her dumbfounded. She glanced at the glass of margarita in front of her. 'I need to get his attention, he might know something that I need.' She lightened her face and smiled sweetly at him.

" You know you could be a model, you are good looking and have a well built body." She started and swallowed the drink in front of her, without realizing it. His smile widened more, now she was starting to get nervous. She only hoped that she could get out of the place alive, something was off.

" Your time is running out, woman. You should start to search for where the hidden pathway was. Stay alive." She got goosebumps after he kissed her right hand. He left afterwards and entertained those newly arrived customers. 'Hidden pathway,? Where the hell was it then?'

She glanced back in his direction and saw him move his head in the other direction where two people were heading onto the stairs. 'Gotcha!,' she mumbled and mouthed thank you to him. After swallowing the remaining drinks, she stood up and walked normally, following where those people had entered. But she lost them. There were rooms on the second floor. Her brows furrowed, unable to choose where to go. 'Is this some kind of a motel?' She tried to turn the doorknob in the first room but it was closed. Followed by the second, third and the fourth. She kept cursing when she couldn't find any open rooms. Then she noticed the stairs near the fifth room, which led down. She started to get curious and walked. Her eyes couldn't see anything since it was dark. Her hands traced the walls as she walked downstairs. And a wide length of pool stumbled in front of her. She couldn't see much as the lights were dim and blue. She started to puke after smelling something fishy. But more terrified, when the lights suddenly opened, it turned out she was facing the wide red pool. 's**t! Is this blood? What the heck is this place?!' She didn't stay long and followed the pathway ahead of her. She was fortunate that no one had seen her, the whole place was silent and empty. The next thing she knew, she was standing on the broad length of the steel door. Ironically, it automatically opened and there was a man in his mid 40's standing intimidatingly.

"What took you so long!?You had better do well and satisfy me if you want to get out of here alive!" Her eyes widened. Before she could react, he had already pulled her inside and closed the door. For the first time, she started to feel scared. No one could save her in the midst of this madness. Now, if she wanted to get out alive and finish her task, she needed to be his s*x slave. Not if she could find a quick solution and escape him. 'Dang that man,! I shouldn't have trusted him! Ugh!'
