There's Gotta Be More to Life Chapter 13
"Is she going to be okay?" Brian asked Devon. She shrugged and sat on the couch.
"I'm her best friend and I had no idea about this. So, how the fuck and I supposed to know is she's gonna be okay?" She put her face in her hands and sighed.
Carmen sat on the floor feeling numb. How was she supposed to feel? She didn't know she had let go of her past along time ago. She looked down at the floor not knowing what to do but saw the file that she took from her brother's house just laying there. She crawled over to it and placed it in her lap. Taking a deep breath she opened it and started down at the paper.
Quickly scanning the paper she noticed the word Club come up and then two signatures below. One being Carter and the cop's. Peter Ratford…she thought but ended up shrugging. "Carter's going to open a club and have a cops name on it to make it look legit…smart bastard…" Then she heard a soft knock on the door and Devon's soft voice come threw.
"Are you okay?" Carmen got off the floor with the file in her hand and unlocked the door. She opened it to let Devon in. Carmen nodded to answer her question. They both walked back out to the living room where Rome and Brian were waiting. Rome eyed the file that was in Carmen's hand while Brian talked,
"You okay?" Carmen nodded while shrugging her shoulders. She slammed the file down on the coffee table next to the bunny's cage causing the bunny to jump.
"What's that?" asked Rome
"It's not food that's for sure." Carmen answered. "I took it from Carter's office…he's trying to open a new club…and he seems to think with a cop's signature it will look legit. But we all know he's doing it to make sure no investigations go on while he's letting people deal there."
"Figures." Devon muttered. "He wouldn't tell me anything. He acted like it was too much for my little head to handle."
"Yeah that sounds like him…but he would never say that to his sister…" Brian said while getting an idea.
Carmen raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you getting at?"
"Well, you talk about getting revenge on him…well what better then getting on his good side aka working/running the new club for him and then going to the police when shit is going on. He'll get busted."
"Okay…I like that but he's good about covering his tracks. He isn't going to trust me with everything just yet. Plus how am I supposed to get evidence. He'll know.
"Tape all your meetings or conversations and make sure you know who he's dealin to. They'll give you everything you need to put him away as long as they get immunity."
"I get it but come on. How am I supposed to get back in the 'family' business? That man will not trust…never mind…I have an idea."
After a couple minuets of silence Devon spoke up, "Well…what is it?"
"I take the file back to him and say I love the idea of a new club and how I need a new job anyway…he'll test me of course but when all the tests are done he might just trust me…at least…a little bit."
