There's gotta be more to life Chapter 14
Carmen walked up the steps of the Verone mansion and stopped at the door. She had to pull off this act as well as any other she had ever tried to pull off. She knocked on the door and waited for an answer. One of the maids opened the door and let her in. She waited for Carter to walk out with a smirk. Once he did he said,
"It's not like you to use the door."
She smiled unwilling and said, "I have something you want." She held up the papers that she had taken the other night. He raised an eyebrow and nodded her into his office.
Once she sat down he said, "Knowing you it comes with a price."
She shook her head and said, "I just wanted to tell you what a great idea you have going here. But seeing as I used to own a club…well I thought we could work something out that I can work the club."
He laughed and said, "You want to work my club. Now tell me why the change of heart?"
"Let's just say…" she started as she leaned closer. "I think it could go over better with a cop on our side."
"Our side?" he smirked as she nodded. "I like that…just what pop would've wanted. Eh, Carmen."

Carmen walked out of the mansion and back to her car. She looked in the passenger seat to see her copy of those documents. She got into the car and took out her cell phone.
"I'm in." She told Devon. She drove back to her house but stopped mid way and went over to Tej's garage. She saw Suki working on yet another drawing and Tej collecting money from some folks. She got out of her car and nodded to them both.
"Where you been girl?" Tej asked while walking over.
She shrugged and smiled. "Busy. There a race tonight?" He nodded and readjusted the tooth pic in his mouth.
"You comin?" She nodded. "You bring that friend of yours with you. I wanna see if she wants another job."
She started laughing and said, "Devon? A job? The bunny…working…" She then started cracking up but said, "She'll be there."

Back at the house, Carmen walked in and saw Devon chilling on the couch with some hot chocolate. When she noticed Carmen walk in she popped up and said,
"Did he fall for it?" Carmen smiled and nodded. Devon laughed and did a happy dance. "Wait…what about your other job?"
"I'm calling in today to quit. Maybe my boss will fall for the my mother died again thing." They both started cracking up and collapsed on the couch.
Carmen ended up going to her room. She picked up her cell phone and called her work. Kassie picked up and said,
"Hello?"
"Hey Kass, it's Carmen."
"Oh my god! I haven't heard from you in such a long time! How was the funeral? Did it hurt a lot? Oh I'm just so sorry! I don't know what its like to loose a mother but I know it must hurt. So what brings you to call?" Kassie said in one breath. Carmen laughed and answered,
"I'm just calling to talk to the boss. I'm quitting."
"What! Why?"
"I…uh…I need to stay….uh help my brother out?" She stuttered.
"There must be a bad connection but I'm pretty sure you said help out your brother?"
"Yeah that's it. Wow we really must have a bad connection. Well I'm just going to leave that message with you so um talk to you later." Kassie said okay and that was the end of her job with the Taxi service.
