'This… feels weird.' Ali thought as she zipped up the back of the black dress… it was altered a bit to accommodate Ali's tiny 5'3" frame but it was the same dress Gina wore during the time she was undercover and went to Frank Mosca's house one night.
To Ali, she felt like she was staring at her mother 20 years into the past when she studied her own reflection in the mirror. She put on more makeup than she usually wore to make herself look like she did in the photo of the fake ID that Noogie had gotten for her.
Ali Castillo… or as the fake ID described her, Sabrina Burnett, was going to the Red Light District with Ryan Rivera… and she wanted to look like she was 21 instead of 14.
Ali grabbed her purse and red stiletto heels and quietly crept downstairs, making sure Miguel wasn't home. Ali and Miguel were typical siblings and she loved her older brother to death but Miguel's idea of a fun night was the two watching Tv and Ali was the kind of person who wanted more excitement in her life.
Once her shoes were on, Ali made her way outside to Ryan's black Trans Am, the two hugging before getting in the car, buckling up and closing the doors.
"Coast clear?" Ryan asks.
"Not sure. Miguel could still be in his room." Ali says as Ryan put the car in reverse, looked before driving out of the Castillo family's driveway and sped off to the Red Light District as Little Miss Dangerous by Ted Nugent played from the radio.
Miguel had heard the Trans Am drive off and bolted downstairs in time to see it drive off with Ali in the passenger seat. Miguel didn't recognise the car and he didn't know Ryan.
Miguel's P.O.V
Something ain't right here! First I catch Ali trying on one of Mom's old undercover outfits and now she's sneaking off into the night with some strange man?!
I don't like this… I get that Ali's a strong willed girl, she's always been like that! But that psycho that's been terrorizing the Miami metropolitan area is still out there and his targeted type of girl is tiny, between mid teens and early 20s, long black hair and brown eyes… all who could be Ali's damn twin, they look so damn alike!
I have to call someone, let them know what she's doing. Uncle Sonny? Maybe she'll listen to him. If I call Mom or Dad, I'll get the "Miguel Christopher Castillo, why weren't you keeping an eye on your baby sister?!" lecture.
It's always me that gets hell when Ali sneaks out… do I borrow Mrs. Harris's car and tail Ali myself? Nah, she'd recognise it immediately.
Sighing, I grab my phone and dial a number…
Ali's P.O.V
"Just relax… sometimes, they don't check ID." Ryan says, lightly rubbing my left arm before we get out of the Trans Am and approach Sex World.
Ryan and I show our IDs to the bouncer, who lets us in immediately and winks at us as if he's saying "Have fun, you two!".
Ryan and I order two drinks, a beer for him and a mojito for me, before sitting down at one of the tables. I know this is where Sonny and Rico caught onto what they thought was a pair of S&M performers and thought that Cat was the Crayon drawing killer, only to find out it was Jackie McSeidan.
It's Only Love by Bryan Adams began to play as the act on stage began and the man on stage blowing a kiss at me.
Ryan didn't take too kindly to that, narrowing his eyes and putting a protective arm around my shoulders, the man on stage backing off.
"It's okay, we're here to have fun." I whisper, lightly rubbing Ryan's arm. Ryan relaxed and lightly kissed my forehead before we finished our drinks.
The act eerily mirrored Cat and Jackie's… and out of the corner of my right eye, I saw Roni wearing one of Aunt Trudy's old undercover outfits.
Roni smiled at me and had that look that said "Being naughty tonight, my best friend?"...
Well, yeah… a bit.
Why do I have a feeling Miguel called her and sent her here to spy on me and Ryan?
Well, at least it's not Uncle Sonny, Aunt Julia, Uncle Rico, Uncle Stan, Billy, Aunt Trudy, Mom or Dad… if it were, Ryan and I would be being hauled off to OCB now and in big trouble.
