Only 1 review for my last chapter :( Yeah, I didn't think it was my best work either, but something tells me a few of you will have something to say about this next one. I'd still like to hear your ideas about the favor Star has already done for Happy.

Lady Ramona, sadly you are not correct, but thank you for your input. Since Happy's smiley faces are for club ordered kills even if Star gave him some jobs they wouldn't end as smiley faces.

Any other ideas?

The tenth time…

Happy sat in one of the many bars of the Luxor hotel and casino in Vegas. He had his sites on Vinney D. an enforcer who had crossed a line as far as the Vegas Charter was concerned. Vegas being Vegas most of their sweet butts were also professional strippers or prostitutes and a few of them had been plucked by force out of their regular places of business by Vinney D. The Vegas Charter was not okay with that, and therefore neither was Happy.

Nobody had been able to get a read on where Vinney lived or operated from, Happy had been trailing him for 3 days now and had seen him sleep in 3 different beds, with 3 different women. Hard to get a jump on a guy who was always moving, especially when his 4 man entourage always moved with him.

Happy's attention was dragged from his mark to the waitress when she sent a drink down he didn't order. "From the girl in the corner." She informed at his raised eye brow and Happy glanced over, Star. She held up her own drink to toast and he slid the offered scotch across the table. There was no way in hell he was letting her drug him again.

Happy had been waiting for Star to show up. He had succeeded in earning his 9th and 10th smiley faces and spent both of those kills looking over his shoulder paranoid as fuck that she would take them away from him. In the course of those kills he had prepared himself for her arrival. He was going to kill her. Slowly. She smirked and sipped her drink, turning back to stare down Vinney D. Of course she was going after his mark. Of all the dirty mobsters in Vegas he wouldn't have assumed any differently.

It takes him and hour and 2 more drinks before he finds himself at her table offering her a drink of her own.

"Who knew you could be such a gentleman?" She smirks and accepts the liquor, throwing it back as he does his own. This bitch is either too trusting or too cocky.

"I have a room upstairs" Star leaned over the table to whisper in his ear. They'd each had another 4 shots and he could tell her light stature would be her downfall, there was no way she could hold her liquor like he could. He licked his lips and helped her up, taking her room card in the elevator to find her room as she began to get dizzy. Happy crashed them into the room toward the bed, throwing her down on it.

He wanted to savor this kill, it had been a long time coming. He looked down at her. She was wearing a dark blue cocktail dress that had ridden up significantly in their escapades to the room. He couldn't help but leer for a moment. He wasn't the type of guy that got off on taking advantage of women and he felt a sudden pang that he was going to kill this bitch before he got the chance to fuck her.

"You remember what I promised you?" Star slurred, pushing herself back up from the bed capturing Happy's mouth with her own. She was taking a hell of a long time to pass out; maybe he would get his chance after all.

"You promised to make me beg." He whispered before attacking her mouth again. Her hands found their way up his shirt and he broke away to allow his shirt to be ripped over his head. He pulled off his own jeans and boots as she shimmied out of her dress. "Oh fuck" he grabbed her and hauled her back down to the bed.

Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew this was a bad idea. They were both drunk, she should be passing out any second now, he had a mark downstairs to eliminate, and he was well aware that she could probably kill him with her pinky if she choose.

Or hand cuff him to a bed.

"What the fuck bitch?" He yanked at the metal cuffs around his wrists, how had he missed that?

"That wasn't begging." She whispered into his ear before getting up and off the bed, clearly sober.

"This isn't funny Star!" He yanked hard on the cuffs.

"Look, I got a job to do, and I really need you to stay out of my way. It'll just be a couple of hours, and then I'll come back and we can finish this night the way we both wanted. I'll even let you ink the kill on me." She smirked and shimmed back into her dress, fixing her hair.

"These cuffs aren't gonna hold me bitch." He yanked again; the wooden headboard spokes would soon give way and then it was simply a matter of finding something to pick the lock with.

"No, but they will certainly slow you down." She slipped into her shoes and took a few careful steps to the bed. "So will not having these." She grabbed his jeans and slung them over her shoulder.

"Bitch-"

"Gotta say Hap, it's good to have you playing the game. I was starting to think you didn't know the rules." She opened the door and walked out, slamming it behind her.

"You fucking bitch! I'm gonna kill you for this Star!" He continued to rant and scream at the door till he broke the head board.

His first move once picking the lock was calling Rango the Vegas Sargent at Arms who was his back up behind the club. He was pacing the room like a caged animal when the man finally knocked on the door and he wiped it open.

"Not one fucking word!" Happy screamed and grabbed the pants the man was holding. "What the fuck are these?" He looked down at the while linen pants.

"Snagged them from the pool deck." He shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall watching Happy pull on the horrifically non biker attire. "Prospect is bringing you your own shit if you want to wait.

"Can't wait, she's not taking this from me."

"She already did brother." Happy paused his angry movements. "Vinney D. got hit by a car out front. Driver took off, he's dead."

OMG! I have no cable, I am currently downloading last night's SOA episode on ITunes but I don't have time to watch it before work. It's gonna be a looooone day of waiting!

Better than the last chapter? Next up is the favor, last chance to give me your thoughts on it!
