Chapter 2: I put trust in you!
Carmella Stanton walked backstage counting her tips from her pole dance she just wrapped up. She wrapped her nude body in a robe, and made her way to her station. She took a brief moment and stared in the mirror, as she always did after her night at "work".
"You deserve better" she said to herself.
Carmella knew without a college degree she couldn't go far. When first becoming a stripper she thought it would be temporary, until she got enough money for at least for a trade school, but then she met Billy and had Riley and after while she just couldn't afford to save anymore. She felt trapped.
She sighed and rested her head on the dressing room counter.
"CARMELLA!" one of the managers of the club ran in, in a panic.
Carmella's head shot up, as she was caught off guard
"Hey what's up Randy?"
"You've been getting calls all night at the front desk" she informed "It was from Darley"
Carmella stared strangely, Billy never called her unless it had something to do with Riley.
She quickly ran to her bag to check her cell phone, which read 30 missed calls.
"Shit!" she said running her fingers through her hair "What did this son of a bitch do now?"
She quickly dialed the number she could always reach Billy at, and the phone was immediately answered by one of Billy's members Bodie.
"Yo Bodie, where's Billy" Carmella asked
"Carmella, where the hell you been we've been trying to reach you all night"
"Not that it's any of you business but…"
Billy quickly snatched the phone from Bodie
"Listen to me; get your ass down here NOW!" Billy ordered
"What the hell is going on?" she asked
"It's Riley?" he replied
Carmella stood and placed a hand over her heart in fear
"What about Riley?"
Billy shook his head, not showing much emotion before hanging up the phone on Carmella.
"Hello?" Carmella stuttered before realizing her had hung up.
She quickly ran back to her station and grabbed her keys and bag. She rushed out of the joint in just that very robe without even a word to her boss as she didn't care about anything at the point instead of what was going on with her daughter.
Carmella quickly got into her car a sped off. Luckily the Dark Roses shop wasn't far from the stripper joint she danced at, and she got there in no time.
She snatched some jeans out of the back seat and put them on as she ran into the building.
"DARLEY!" she yelled, walking upstairs and to the back into the back room "What the hell is going on?"
"You need to calm down before I tell you anything" Billy stood tall, everyone in the room stared
"How do you expect me to come in here calm after a call like that" she sassed "Now where the hell is my kid?"
All of the members looked at Carmella. Billy sighed before grabbing Carmella by the arm and leading her to the next room…
Carmella snatched her arm away from him, hearing him slam the door behind them.
"Riley's missing" he immediately said
"WHAT?" she began to panic "What the hell do you…."
"Look, some bangers showed up here, some shit went down, guns were everywhere, so I put her in my dad's office" he explained "And when I came back she was gone"
"Where the hell is Bones?" she yelled
Billy shot a glare at her
"Dead"
"Oh my…" Carmella's head began to spin in disbelief, as she ran her fingers through her blonde hair pacing back and forth "WHAT THE HELL? I TOLD YOU ABOUT BRINGING HER HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?" she yelled
Billy rolled his eyes
"You need to chill?"
"Chill?" she question
Carmella furiously shook her head and approached Billy before she swung her right fist and jabbed Billy in the face.
"MY FUCKING KID IS MISSING AT THE HANDS OF YOU AND YOU WANT ME TO CHILL" she screamed with tears flowing down her eyes
"I'M GOING TO FIND HER SO RELAX" he yelled back
"For all we know she could be dead" she replied
Billy shook his head
"I know people like these guys, I know for a fact she's not dead, because if they wanted to kill her they had the chance when they shot my father, they kidnapped her for blackmailing reasons" he explained
Carmella shook her head and buried her tearful face in her hands
"I just need for you to stay calm"
"Calm" she shook her head "I'm calling the fucking cops" she replied trying to reach the phone but was snatched up by Billy
"Are you fucking crazy?" he yelled "You know how much illegal shit we have in here?"
"SO!" she shot "I don't give a damn about you"
"Look these guys want something from me obviously, if I'm behind bars how can I give it to them" he told "And if I can't supply what they need they will kill her, and that's a god giving fact"
Carmella eyes continued to water, as she pulled away.
"My boys and I are going to handle this; we know how to handle people and situations like this"
"You and your boys is the reason she's missing" she shot
Billy shook his head completely frustrated with everything, especially Carmella
"Just go home, I'll call you if anything changes" he said walking toward the door.
The members in the other room sat in silence, acting as though they didn't hear all the arguing the two were doing in the next room.
"I'm not going anywhere until she is found Billy" Carmella continued as she followed him down stairs to the exit.
"I really cannot think with you on my ass like this" he shot "YOU NEED TO GO"
Truth was he didn't want Carmella around, incase these guys showed back up..
Carmella shook her head as she stormed passed him…
"I'm putting trust in you Darley, something everyone's afraid to do these days" she replied "Find her"
Billy stared watching a devastated Carmella walk away…
