บท 3: Undercover
Juliet was not thrilled as she sat at the bar occasionally sipping her Strawberry Daiquiri while survey the club floor in front of her which was filled with people dancing to the blasting music.
Clubs were one thing when she was with friends but another when she was at work. With friends she could enjoy herself, relax, and not worry about what was going on around her. With work, she always had to make sure she was aware of everyone and everything and keep up her persona if necessary.
On top of the fact that she stuck in the club with her only her drink for company which was slowly disappearing with each sip, it was Saturday. Weekends were supposed to be her time off when she was not in the middle of an assignment but her boss either didn't understand or didn't care. On top of that, he always managed to convince her to agree to his request. Whether it was through warning she would lose the chance or telling how thrilling and exciting it would be. Juliet couldn't resist the chance to go on a thrilling job considering she was handed one out of maybe every fifty.
It was not until after she had accepted, despite the fact that it was exactly the job she wanted did she realize why her boss needed her for it rather than giving her the first offer. In a club setting, a woman like her was going to be far more reliable than most of the men or so she assumed her boss believed. Juliet didn't quite agree with that as she knew quite a few men on the team who knew how to stay on focus and on point but she was not going to admit that out loud and risk losing her job.
Glancing at her watch to see it was half past ten. Looking around the club she took note of the fact that she was still the only one there. Her boss got her in contact with the man who was supposed to provide the evidence and information he had gotten, but so far the guy was a no show which meant she was stuck sitting there wasting time until he either showed up or she contacted her boss to ask what was going on.
Policy was to wait at least two hours in a setting like this before reporting a no show. Juliet sighed, biting the inside of her cheek. This was one of the first serious undercover jobs she had gotten in a while and she didn't want it taken away because whoever she was supposed to be waiting for forget or decided to ditch. She would still get paid for her time, but she wanted the excitement more than the money.
Finishing her drink which was supposed to be the signal to whoever she was waiting on that she was the person to approach she debated what to do.
She could blow her job by telling her boss nothing happened in which case he'd tell her to either drop it totally or come back the next day or she could take a look around and wait a while longer. Juliet had never visited Roses & Whips before herself but she'd had her quite a bit about it from some of her friends who enjoyed frequenting some of the more risque clubs.
Based on what she heard, what she saw in front of her was only half of what the club had to offer. There was another half of the club that was hidden from sight and only accessible to VIPs or those with a certain taste.
Standing up Juliet decided that if she was going to be stuck wasting time inside this club, she might as well see if she could find this VIP area and get a look around.
She made sure to tip and thank the waiter before making her way towards the main floor where everyone was either dancing or grinding against each other. Juliet kept her distance best as possible from the roaming hands and lurching bodies. Last thing she needed right now was someone trying to force her to dance with them.
Once Juliet managed to navigate the floor and find a space that was less crowded and provided a far view of the bottom level of get club, it was easy to see where the VIP area was.
It was oddly setup to her as she approached. Where everywhere on the bottom floor was totally open for customer use, this VIP area seemed sealed off behind a door. By the door was a desk with a vase of different color roses, what looked like sign sheet, and a safe which she was not sure what the use was.
Since no one was near the desk paying attention, Juliet took it as get opportunity to peek inside without causing trouble.
"Excuse me miss, but that isn't the kind of place for someone like you." Just as she was getting ready to open the door, she felt a strong male hand land on her shoulder.
"Excuse me?" Juliet, trying not to sound alarmed.
"I said you're not allowed to go in there." Before she had a chance to ask why, another voice cut through.
"Easy Walter, she's with me I'll take care of it."
