Town of Chance: Believing in Love (The Dare 7)

Missy Ann felt badly for Eliza Grace. She had tried to tell the guys about Friday night but they had talked about the case they were working on and how they had to work. She didn’t want them to feel bad about missing her perform on stage and she didn’t want them to worry. But Missy Ann was a little worried. Especially at the way that guy Si and his two buddies watched Eliza Grace and kissed her hello. They wanted her and the faster she could get Eliza Grace out of here after her performance the better.

So when she saw Lynch and Parker show up with two other men she didn’t recognize Missy Ann went over to them right away.

“Oh my God, how did you know?” she asked Tazer as she gave him a hug.

“My God, Eliza Grace is going to be so happy,” she added and then hugged Lynch.

“What are you talking about? What are you doing here?” Tazer asked her as he took her arm.

She immediately knew something was wrong and she didn’t know what to do. She looked at the other two men. Both were very attractive and looked kind of intense.

“We’ll head over to the other side and keep watch,” one of them told Tazer and he nodded.

“What were you saying about Eliza Grace?” Tazer asked her and as she went to tell them what was going on the band stopped and the announcer began to introduce Eliza. She smiled.

“Well, just listen and you’ll find out what she was trying to tell you over the phone today.”

“Today?” he asked.

“Yes, she was trying to tell you she wanted you guys to come see her here.”

He squinted his eyes at her then looked at Lynch. But then the announcer announced Eliza Grace’s name and both Lynch and Tazer were shocked.

Missy Ann pulled out her cell phone and recorded the performance. Every so often she scanned over toward Lynch and Tazer but they looked straight faced and almost pissed off. So she kept the camera on Eliza Grace as she sang a few songs and the crowd went crazy.

“You’re not going to believe this, but those two men are the ones from Rodney’s. Look,” Vic told Si as he handed him his cell phone and the pictures.

“Son of a bitch. Tell Luther to close up the back room. It’s a raid,” he said, feeling the anger build up inside of him. He watched the two men standing next to Eliza’s friend, Missy Ann. She was petite and cute too, almost like Eliza but with blonde hair and blue eyes but her breasts were huge for her size. A couple of their spotters singled her out as a potential girl to train.

His mind was spinning. Why were those men talking to her? Did they know Eliza Grace?

He couldn’t stick around to get his answers as suddenly cops started pouring into the bar and he needed to get the hell out of there fast.

He took one look on stage and the shocked expression on Eliza Grace’s face as the band stopped and one of the men talking to Missy Ann pulled Eliza down off the stage and into his arms. The other one caressed her hair and then yelled at her and told her to stay put.

“We need to go now,” Vic stated and they hurried out with the other patrons as the police raided the back room and another operation went under all because of those two fucking men.

Eliza Grace was shaking, she was so scared. She’d never seen Tazer and Lynch so angry before as they both yelled at her and Missy then grabbed two officers and told them to guard them with their lives.

She and Missy Ann just stared at the chaos going on around them. People were being hauled out of the club and women wearing hardly any clothes and even some naked ones were being pulled from the back room. “Holy shit, this is fucking incredible. A prostitution ring right here in South Carolina,” the one officer said. She looked at Missy Ann.

“Oh God, this has something to do with their investigation. Holy shit, Eliza, we’re right in the middle.”

She swallowed hard and then she caught sight of Burker and Parker.

She pushed between the officers and they tried to stop them until Burker and Parker identified themselves.

“Holy shit. What the fuck were you two doing here?” Burker yelled and Eliza Grace stopped short. She was going to hug him. She needed him to hold her and to tell her it was okay and that they weren’t angry with her but she knew they were.

He took her hand and Parker took Missy Ann’s. “Let’s get you the hell out of here now,” he said and they went with them. Eliza Grace looked at Missy. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be, I’m glad you weren’t alone,” she said and then both Parker and Burker stopped.

Tazer and Lynch along with the two men arrived. They introduced the two men as Finn and Salvatore Connelly. She realized that they were Antonio and Billy’s brothers from Connelly’s restaurant where they had their first date.
