She watched as her father paused, and looked over at Robert.. "Well dear, I own The Mill.. And every man in this room.. Is helping me keep it under wraps... So to speak.. Wouldn't want to get pinched." He said with a chuckle.

She bit her lip and frowned. "So you're apart of the prohibition campaign... But you run a juice joint?" She found it very conflicting.

"Well, it's not all that its cracked up to be dear. It seems The Mill may be out of commission for a few Months seeing that I am bed ridden until then and there is no one who can take my place."

Robert piped up then, he took of his fedora and smoothed a hand over his messy brown tousled hair. "Aye now. You taught me all of that stuff months ago. I can run it."

Henry shook his head. Regina had been standing there watching them talk about it, she was interested in a challenge, a thrill.. Maybe even an adventure. She bit her lip and tilted her head. "I can do it." she mumbled as her father told Robert that his temper would get him and the joint pinched, especially if he acted like a hooligan and beat up the hooch guy again.

Both men turned to look at her. "What?" Her father and Robert both said.

"I can do it." She said. "I already fixed your books, I took secretarial classes and business.. I can run it."

Her father stared at her for a moment and Robert piped in. "I seen her do it. She did pretty good."

"There is more to it than just running it. You have to make sure that the feds don't catch wind of it, You have to be in charge of the shipments and everything." Henry took a deep breath and sighed. He didn't want his daughter in danger, but she was his only hope. He knew if she didn't run it, Then he would have to shut it down.

She nodded. "I can learn." She was up for the adventure.

"Pick one of the boys then." He said, almost regretting his decision. "Robert, Daniel, Graham, Jeff or Killian.. All of the men know the club, all of them have specific.. Jobs to help me out." he said as he signalled for Robert to leave the room for a moment.

"I don't understand.." Regina frowned and sat down as her father moved to lay back into his bed. "They all have jobs?"

"I'll explain.. Robert is my right hand man. He knows everything to do with The Mill.. He just has a temper and can't run it himself.. He can do everything from charming the customers, to shaking down people who owe me money. He knows the business too. Whereas Jeff, he is a copper. He keeps the force from getting wind of the mill. He's my protection in the law enforcement. He keeps everything under wraps for me. Daniel.. He recruits people to come to the club.. Like he accidentally did for you today. He uses his charm to get young ladies, and others to come visit. Graham is my bartender. He knows a lot, but he fumbles easily. And Killian is my entertainment. He wouldn't be of much help if you ask me."

She listened carefully to her father, her mind already made up. Robert was to be her right hand man, as he had been for her father. The bad thing was.. If her father found out her attraction to him, she would be in trouble, as would Robert.

"Robert can help me. I choose him daddy." She said with confidence.

"I admire your straight-forwardness." He said, and then called Robert back in. "Its settled.. Tomorrow, you are to begin showing her what to do, how to do it.. And I prefer you begin before the joint opens. So, I'd go rest up baby doll." Henry said and smiled, "Now let me get some rest."

She kissed her father's head and told him goodbye before leaving his room with Robert. They walked silently to his car and the whole ride to her father's house was silent. She frowned a little once they got there and turned to Robert. "Pick me up a little earlier tomorrow.."

"You mean today?" Robert smirked a little, the morning Sun was beginning to peak through the clouds, causing the sky to be a beautiful mixture of light pinks and purples. "Its morning."

She shook her head and laughed a little. "Yeah okay then. Today."

"May I ask why?" he said, a hint of flirtation in his voice. "I'm not sure Ol' Henry would appreciate you spending non-work related time with me."

"Oh, I'm sure he'd get over it.. Besides. This girl needs a new wardrobe if she is going to run an illegal gin joint." She smirked and ran her fingers through her bobbed hair. "Maybe get my hair done too."

"Looks like I am going to have a long say with you Miss Mills." Robert said with a tiny little grin. "And I'm not so sure that I even mind it." Oh Henry would kill him for flirting with his little girl. "I will see you in a few hours then."

She watched him as he got out and opened the door to his car for her so that she could get out. She smiled and thanked him. "Until then. Mister Locksley." She had a smirk on her face that would bring a grown man to his knees.

"The same to you Miss Mills." He would be sent to Hades for him impure thoughts.

Regina ran up her front steps and opened the door. She watched him leave in his car, practically melting. 'Oh goodness.' she thought as she ran upstairs, cleaned herself up and laid in bed.

It took her a bit, but finally she fell into a peaceful state of rest.

She woke up to the sound a car horn and frowned. She walked sleeping over to her window and opened it and she immediately woke up to the sight out the window. "I must've over slept!" She called out the window and down to Robert. "I'll be just a minute!"

He laughed and shook his head. "I'll be waiting!" he called back up to her and lit a cigarette as he leant against his car.

It took her approximately twenty minutes to scramble around and find something decent to wear, five minutes to apply the smolesting of what could be considered make up. She looked like death warmed over, at least... She thought she did.

On the other hand, as she stepped out of the house and walked down the steps to Roberts car, he cat called her.. Several times in fact. She was blushing by the time she made it to the car. He held open the door and she sat down in the passenger's seat.

After he got into the car, he turned to her. "Where to doll face?" He turned on the car and Regina bit her lip.

"When in Chicago.. Right? Take me anywhere.." She flirted a little and her eyes gazed over him.. In all honesty, Regina had never gone all the way witg a boy. Sure, she made out with Andrew McClure at a party she went to in New York and he tried to feel her up.. But New York didn't have the passion Chicago had, and surely Andrew McClure didn't have that... appeal that Robert had.

Regina and Robert spent the day bouncing from Shoppe to Shoppe. Regina spent way too much money, and Robert carried her bags. Although he didn't have to and she was perfectly capable of carrying them herself, he was being a gentleman, and she adored it. She spent a little hit in every store she went to. Whether it was on shoes, dresses, hair accessories or make up.. She bought it. And when they'd finished.. She had been left with no time to go to her father's house and get dressed and ready for lesson one in running The Mill.

So, she took her bags with her and decided to get ready in the back room behind the bar, where all of the liquor was stored. Robert helped her carry her bags down there and he left the room, shutting the door behind him. She fixed her hair a bit and her make-up first before she picked out an outfit..

She h we are the door open as she was going through her clothing and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her. "I think you should wear the red one.." She heard him say.. She felt his hot breath on her neck and it sent shivers down her spine. She couldn't help but turn in his arms..

"Thank you for the suggestion Robert.." She whispered, her eyes flickered between his and his lips.. "Help me with my zipper.." She mumbled breathlessly.. She felt his hands move, and her h e art stopped. He slid the zipper down incredibly slowly, and she leaned in to kiss him, but only,a millisecond before their lips were to touch.. There was a knock on the door.

"Regina!"

It was Graham.. The bartender.

"I'm gonna go ahead and let these people in, its time to open!"

She had immediately jumped back from Robert and her hands clung to the front of her dress to keep it up. "You should go.." She was out of breath from holding it for the moments that they were so close. Robert nodded and rested a hand on her cheek.

"To be continued.." He said softly and ran his thumb below her eye before he turned and left the room.
