1 Big Deal



"So what yous tryin' to tell me is that you thought you were pregnant?" Jax frowned at Random while he leaned over the bar.

She nodded, "So I'm done Jax. I can't put Blade through somethin' like that. You know how much that would hoit'im?"

Jax raised an eyebrow, "You can't jus' quit Random. I got a business to run here. You wanna quit, gimme a week to git a replacement."

Random slammed her hands down on the bar, "Damn you Jax. You and your business is more important then if I have a kid wid some drunk who ain't even me boy?" She glared hard at him, "I'll give you tonight. You got one night to find yourself a goirl who would do this. I ain't comin' back tomorrow."

Jax sighed, "Fine…fine. But Ise gonna miss you."

Random glared at Jax as she started up the stairs, "Sure you will…" she mumbled, "You've been gitti' more from me then my boy has. I can't believe I coulda been so stupid." She shook her head, "Don't botha me until I gotta come back down there. I'll be in me room."

Random thudded up the stairs to her private room in the club. She slammed the door shut and leaned back up against it. A smile crossed her lips as she thought about how forceful and demanding she was. Surprised at how she had changed, she quickly went about getting changed and thinking about how wonderful it was going to be to hold Blade again every night. She missed him terribly.

"Don't worry Blade…" she smiled, "I'm comin' home tonight. For good."



Jax went back to cleaning the bar up, humming a tune in his head and trying to think of a new girl to fill Random's place. Just then the door opened and three guys walked in.

"Hey sorry guys, but this place ain't open for a bit yet…" Jax smiled.

"Yea…Ise been livin' here most me life, and I am usually allowed to go where evah I want whenevah I want."

Jax frowned as he recognized the boy and his two friends. He nodded swiftly and pulled out three glasses.

"What'll it be boys?"

The taller one shook his head, "Nuthin' for me. I got a business proposition to settle wid yous. This goirl named Random…"

Jax smiled, "She's booked tonight."

The boy elbowed his friends and they threw their money on the table. Then the taller boy emptied his pockets as well. The amount added up to ten dollars. Jax's eyes went wide as he stared at the amount on the table.

"So, Jax, me boy…how's her schedule now?"

"Open…wid the small fact I git twenty-percent."

"Oh of course! Gotta make some money some how…so given that yous got twenty percent. Whatdaya say? If I stop by 'round…8 tonight?"

Jax smiled and spit shook with the boy, taking the money off the counter and putting it in his pocket, "You may stop by anytime."

The boy nodded and left with his two silent friends. Jax shook his head and finished washing the counter, wondering how he was every going to replace someone as good at Random. Especially after this new deal.
