Chapter 43

2067 Words
Annalisa’s POV Mr. Smalls is a rogue wolf who works out of a strip club in the human city. He was a warrior from a medium-sized pack further north who was banished for raping an omega. He now leads a group of rogues and is involved in lots of illegal activity. That includes drugs, prostitution and trafficking. Mr. Smalls has been supplying women to Dark Hollow for their trafficking ring. From our research, he only focused on humans until Alpha Clarence proposed the extension of his business to include werewolves. At first, we wanted to discuss him ceasing his operations among the supernatural community, but after we discussed it, he needs to stop all operations. Stopping him will be beneficial to both humans and supernatural. I would also like to avoid another member of his crew taking over the business. Leo, Tran and I have been at his club for the last two days. I want to get this done, so I can attend the Alpha meeting this weekend. The first night we were here, no one approached us, but there were lots of whispers about who we were, our dynamic, since there were two guys and one female and why we were here, since we refused any additional services. We just sat, observed and drank the watered downed drinks they provided. We noticed on day two that there were more rogues at the club. I think Mr. Smalls thought we were trouble and the longer we sat, the more security showed up. Yes, we had planned to end this tonight but his paranoia about us being there just provided us the opportunity to take out more of his crew. Quin was in the back of the club and Perry was in the front, both waiting for our signal. We were the top five of the newest elite warriors, and they volunteered to help me on this mission. It's coming up on 10pm and a dancer comes to the table. She was not here yesterday and has been watching us all night. I got she finally got up the courage to talk to us “Evening guys, do you want a private dance?” “No thank you” Leo says “I love your accent. Are you from Ireland?” “I am. You want to sit and talk a while” “I don’t just sit with the customers” “Here’s a tip for your company” Leo says and gives her $100 bill The dancer we now know is named Roxy. She sat and told us about why she works at the club and that she has been here for four years. She tells us what she knows and how she feels about Mr. Smalls. According to Roxy, he’s not a nice man. He abuses the women physically and sexually. She works here because she has a drug history and can’t get a job doing much else. She doesn’t question Mr. Smalls and tries not to stay late at the club to avoid him. When he brings his men to the club, the women are not given the option to refuse participating in the ‘activities’. He has even drugged girls if they refused or cried about participating. “Do you like dancing?” I ask “Yes and no. I like the entertainment piece of it, but not the being fully naked part. I also don’t like working for Smalls” “If you had another opportunity, what would it be?” “I don’t know but the hours work for me because then I can be home with my daughter during the day” “Roxy, I want you to leave the club early tonight. Like in the next fifteen minutes. If you can convince any girls to go with you, do so. Write your number on this napkin and I will be contacting you soon about a new job opportunity” “I’m sorry, but how old are you? You look like you are 15. You shouldn’t even be in here” “Yes, I am underage but that doesn’t change what I told you. Leave and we will talk in a couple of days” She looks at me questionably. She says goodnight to everyone and leaves our table. She goes to the back, and we sync for ten minutes. At seven minutes, we get notice that four girls have left out the back. And that is our signal to begin. Quin enters through the back and locks the door so no one can leave. Perry kills the guards in the front and locks the front doors. We get up and walk to Mr. Smalls booth. I stand facing him while Leo and Tran flank me, looking towards the crowd. “Mr. Smalls, hi, I’m Crane” “Little girl, why are you even in my club? How old are you 13?” he says laughing, and his men also start to laugh “I am here to discuss your deal with Alpha Clarence of Dark Hollow” “How do you know about that?” “I know a lot of things. I want your illegal actions towards supernatural stopped, immediately” “Listen girlie, I am a rogue. I don’t take orders from anyone. This is my business and I sure as hell am not taking instructions from a f*****g teenager. Get the f**k out of my club before you get yourself hurt” “Is that your final comment in this regard?” “YES! No b***h is going to tell me what to do, especially a teenager. Now this is the last time I’m going to tell you. Get the f**k out!” “Fine!” I lift my wrist, shooting a dart from my wrist that lands in his neck. The dart is laced with wolfsbane and Ketamine. He’s not dead, just paralyzed. Chaos ensues, and we take out the rest of his crew. We don’t need any of them alive, so we kill the rest of the wolves. Ten minutes later, the only ones standing were my team. All others are dead or dying. Mr. Smalls is still sitting in his booth, unable to move. I call Alpha Xander for an extraction and clean up. I then sent a text to Mr. Wilson with instructions to purchase the club. When the team arrives, Gordon is with them. Two men take Mr. Smalls to Full Moon and the rest start cleaning the club and disposing of the bodies. We followed Gordon to the office and worked on finding information about his business dealings. We copy and upload information from his computer, along with taking all the files from his office. All information is put into Gordon's car and taken to Crystal Lake for Uncle Derrick to review. Once we know everything is taken care of we all head back to the hotel. We have a penthouse with three separate bedrooms. The guys share and I get my own room. The guys were surprised about our accommodations when we first checked in. I didn’t tell them that I own the hotel. I felt it was unnecessary information and let them think Alpha Xander sprung for the room. After taking showers, we called for room service. We eat and watch a movie before retiring for the night. I love being partners with these guys. They don’t treat me differently. To them, I am just as valuable to the team as they are, and I can hold my own. We are also comfortable with each other. We talk about other things besides missions and work. We have all gravitated to each other since the first day of training. They were the only men there that saw me as a warrior and not a little girl. These men have become like brothers to me, and I appreciate them. The next morning, I have a surprise for them. As we sat in the living room eating breakfast, I got the text that my surprise was downstairs. “Guys, I have a surprise for you” “What kind of surprise? I like surprises. Let’s go. I want to see” Leo says jumping from the couch “You are such a kid when you get something” Perry says “Getting gifts is my love language” he says “Anna, you know you don’t have to buy us anything. We are a team” Quinn says “I know I don’t. I was getting one for myself and I thought of you guys, so I got you one too” “Okay, now I really need to see what we got” Leo says excitedly “Go, get dressed and make sure you wear long pants. Meet back here in 10” I went to my room and put on jeans and a black tee. I texted my contact that we will be coming down the private elevator. We all meet in the living room and head out the door. When we get to the hotel hallway, the guys all go to the main elevator, and I turn the other direction. “Where are you going?” Tran asks “Just follow me” We get to the elevator, and I put in my code. As we wait, they continue staring at me. “WHAT?” “Don’t what us. What the f**k Anna” Perry says “Okay, I have something to tell you guys, but you must promise that nothing changes between us, and you keep it a secret” I say as we step on the elevator “Spill” Leo says as the doors close “My parents were rich, and they left me in a very comfortable place financially before they were killed” “How comfortable?” Quinn asks “DMA Enterprises” “They invested in DMA Enterprises? That’s cool. That company is involved in all kinds of industries, from retail to entertainment to construction. They must have gotten in early before their stock became so expensive” Leo says “Yes and no. DMA stands for David, Marcia and Annalisa. My parents created DMA Enterprises. I own the company” They all just stared at me. Leo keeps opening and closing his mouth like he wants to say something but doesn’t know what to say. Perry looks like he is still processing the information, and the rest are still stunned. We reach the private garage, as the doors open things start to click for them “b***h! You rich” Tran says “Is that why we are staying in the penthouse?” Quinn asks “Yeah, I own the hotel” We all step off the elevator and Richard comes up beside me. He hands me the boxes. Each box is a different color. “Leo, the red one is for you. Quinn, blue is for you. Tran, you get the gray one, and Perry black on black for you” I say giving them all a small box “Okay, open it” They each pull out a key fob with a keychain that has their initial on it. After they stare at it for a minute, they all look up at me. I motion for them to follow me, and we walk around the elevator bay. Parked in the special parking section is a BMW R1300 GS for each of us. “The box matches your bike. I also customized it with your name.” “You bought us motorcycles?” Perry asks, wide eyed “f**k, YES. I love having a rich friend” Leo says and runs to his black and red bike “Anna, you know…..” Quinn starts I cut him off “I know I didn’t have to, but I wanted to. I wanted to get you this. Now go!” They all ran to their bikes. Mine is customized in black and purple. After admiring each other’s bikes, we hop on and go for a ride together. About an hour later, we parked them and headed up to the room. As we exited the elevator, I get the pine smell of Nicholas but why would he be here? We turn the corner and standing in front of the door to our suite is my mate “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!”
