Patricia and Eddie walked silently as they continued to their journey. Patricia glanced over at Eddie, a smirk forming as she watched Eddie making faces. Patricia chuckled. "What?" Eddie asked. Patricia rolled her eyes and walked on. Eddie smirked and got an idea. He walked behind Patricia and pushed her shoulders forward. She fell on her knees. Eddie laughed. "Haha" Patricia snorted and brushed off the dirt from her pants and continued on. Eddie smiled and followed. "No insult, huh?" Eddie asked. "No, would you like one?" She asked with a wink. Eddie smiled, "sure" he replied. Patricia stopped dead in her tracks and spun around to face Eddie. "Alright, you little druggy, how's this? Your a self-centered, arrogant little sneak, with *hitty irresponsible ways" she stated. She was about to continue but was cut off from a crash coming from a small building further down the street. They walked a little farther and saw the scene unfold. A girl has her arms crossed as two other men were wrestling in a parking lot. The crash came from a broken beer bottle on the ground. Suddenly, the huge door flew opened, and muscular man started yelling at the two men with his fist raised. They rushed off and girl rushed off and they spead off into a pickup truck. "This is the place" Eddie breathed. Patricia stared at the building. It had a small wood porch, with a huge black metal door with bolts on it. The building was lit by Christmas lights. "They obviously don't take down their lights" Eddie said with a small smile. Patricia frowned. "You have the money right?" Patricia asked. "Yes, I've been saving up" He said. "Ok, let's go" Patricia said.
As they neared the back of the building, Patricia felt a shiver run down her spine. Patricia stopped as she saw the situation. The whole back was fenced off with electric cords on top. "What?" Patricia asked but she was cut off by footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw the guy that was behind her, the man from before that yelled at the 2 men. "Hey" Eddie said awkwardly. "What are you doing here?" He said in a harsh voice. "We're meeting someone" Eddie gulped. "Oh, you must be Eddie Miller, Boss has been expecting you". He said. "Wait what?" Patricia asked. "Who's she?" He asked looking Patricia up and down. Eddie placed his hand in hers. "She's a friend" he said. The man stared into Eddie's eyes for awhile but gave up. "Alright, the Boss is in the back" He said. Eddie nodded and started heading towards the back. "Wait"! The man called. "You have to go through the front" he yelled. Patricia looked at Eddie with worried eyes. Eddie put his hand behind his hair line and sighed, cursing under his breath. They walked to the front and walked in. Patricia looked at all the people, all drunk. "Jackets" The man said. Patricia sighed and took off her sweatshirt. Underneath, she had white shorts on, with a black flannel shirt, extremely tight, which were tucked into her shorts. She topped it off with black fashion boots. Her hair was a little messed up though, she put bobby pins on both sides. She had yellow feather earrings in. Eddie looked at Patricia and whispered in her ear. "Follow me" he said. They started off.
Patricia Williamson was scared. It's not like she hasn't been scared before, but this was different. This was illegal business. Patricia and Eddie started off. Eddie was wearing denim jeans and a Sick Puppies t-shirt. Patricia looked around at all the people. People playing poker. People hooking up. It was like high school. Except, these people didn't have life-threatening experiences. Patricia felt eyes on her as she walked through. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her lower back. She turned around and saw a brown haired guy with beer spilled on his shirt. "Hey baby" He said and fastened his hand around her wrist. "Get your fuc**** hands off me" Patricia yelled and pushed him back and rushed through the crowd. "Patricia, are you ok?" Eddie asked. "Yes" Patricia replied. Suddenly, the lights turned down and music started blaring. Tons of people rushed to the dance floor. Patricia and Eddie tried to stay together, but both got swept up in the crowd. Patricia rushed through the crowd. She felt warm bodies pressed against her as she rushed through. "Hey" A blonde girl said. Patricia smiled and rushed away. Then, Patricia suddenly felt herself being surrounded by people. Guys danced around her, staring her up and down. Patricia knew she was stuck so she decided to do one thing. Dance her way through. Patricia danced slowly to the music, moving her hips to the music. After dancing, Patricia finally made her way out of the crowd. Patricia looked around for Eddie. Eddie spotted over to her. Patricia smiled and rushed into his arms. "Don't ever leave my side again" Patricia sighed. "Never again" Eddie agreed. They turned and looked at the red door before them. "Ready?" Eddie asked. Patricia nodded. Eddie slowly turned the knob and they walked in.
Eddie looked around the room. It was filled with shelves filled with "products". Two men were standing by a chair, the back facing them. "Yes, yes, of course, alright bye bye" a voice coming behind the chair. The person turned around to face them. Patricia gasped.
Alfie?!
